Flora writes Jarvis a love letter but ultimately destroys it in the light of events as she has seen a couple - actually Grace and George - having a secret meeting and wants them to be identified and punished. Jarvis thinks she is going too far and instead arranges for the male staff to be sent to the family's house in Cumberland where he can keep an eye on them. George is exposed as never having worked as a footman and fears he will be parted from Grace and dismissed but Jarvis keeps him on and sends him to Cumberland instead of William, who will stay at Taplows.

Short filmTranscript
00:00:00I think I've found something for you and me.
00:00:07What if someone sees us?
00:00:09No one's going to see us. They're far too busy.
00:00:11I miss our courtesy. Our friendship.
00:00:14I hope that we are still courteous.
00:00:16But not friends.
00:00:17And not quite enemies.
00:00:18Dear Mr Jarvis. So why are you writing to him?
00:00:19I'm not.
00:00:20Are you faking a character?
00:00:21No, I'm not a villain. I just need this job.
00:00:22Dear Walter.
00:00:50I've wanted to write this letter for a long time, but I've hesitated.
00:00:55In case putting it into words made matters more difficult between us.
00:01:05I hope I've not left it so long that the rift has become too wide to ever be mended.
00:01:15You must know that I hold you in the highest regard.
00:01:45I'm mad for you.
00:02:15Who's there?
00:02:46You've no business being up here.
00:03:03Stop! Come back this minute!
00:03:16How did you get here, ladies? Let's take a look at you.
00:03:31How many stinking little bodies have we in here?
00:03:35Gentlemen, out of your beds, if you please.
00:03:39Head count and inspection.
00:03:46Anything?
00:03:47You're missed.
00:04:15It has to be a lower servant.
00:04:42One of your footmen.
00:04:43One of your maids.
00:04:44Well, there's grooms, the porters.
00:04:46Talk sense. It's someone from the third floor corridor, obviously.
00:04:50There aren't any romances, I know.
00:04:52Well, you obviously don't.
00:04:54Blatantly flouting house rules and rubbing our bloody noses in it.
00:04:57Well, Mr Adams, let's tighten up, shall we? Nip this in the bud.
00:05:01Too late for that. The bud has been opened.
00:05:06Well, if a young girl has been seduced and her life ruined as a result...
00:05:10Nobody's life has been ruined.
00:05:13Let's not make too much of this.
00:05:15If we discover who it was, they will be punished, and if we don't...
00:05:18How can I make too much of it?
00:05:20Am I the only one concerned that there's immorality going on under this roof?
00:05:24My main concern, being butler rather than vicar,
00:05:28is that someone is breaking house rules and getting away with it.
00:05:32Well, it wouldn't be the first house to have its own brothel.
00:05:35Or take the scandal at Windsor Castle.
00:05:38It could be one of the maids and many of the men,
00:05:41or several maids and all of the men.
00:05:50I expect you to take this matter seriously and do something about your men.
00:05:54Can I assume that you'll be doing something about your women?
00:05:57My women are not arrogant, posturing, hard-drinking...
00:06:00I hardly recognise my footmen in that description.
00:06:03Well, then you obviously don't know them very well.
00:06:05Do I not?
00:06:09All I know is it wasn't me.
00:06:11That's what they're all saying.
00:06:13Well, it has to be someone. Before you said, it's not me either.
00:06:16We know that, don't we? We don't keep any blind maids.
00:06:19Or feeble-minded ones. So that's you out, innit?
00:06:22I'd give a week's pay for the name of the dirty bastard.
00:06:25Just think, there's some bloody woman right under our noses giving it up to someone.
00:06:29And that someone isn't me.
00:06:31Whoever it is, she's a bare-faced slut.
00:06:34When she's discovered, she'll be completely disgraced.
00:06:36Poor thing, though. Turned out without character.
00:06:39We've not used that room for years. Could have been going on for... forever.
00:06:43You know who I reckon it is?
00:06:45No-one knows.
00:06:46No, one of the laundry women.
00:06:48What, and the night watchman, that sort of thing?
00:06:51It's not a laundry woman. It's one of us.
00:06:54Or one of the sculleries or a kitchen maid.
00:06:58Has to be.
00:07:00Hey, the man.
00:07:02Do you think it might be Mr Adams?
00:07:05Oh!
00:07:19I'm sorry, Mr Adams, this won't do.
00:07:21Men and women sitting together.
00:07:23But they always...
00:07:25Well, they shouldn't, should they?
00:07:27My girls will be on this side of the table.
00:07:29Charlotte, come along, take your food and move around.
00:07:32From now on, you'll stay on your own side.
00:07:34Mrs Ryan, there are more women than men and only one table.
00:07:37Well, then you can use this table.
00:07:39We use that for serving.
00:07:40Well, then you'll eat in shifts, won't you?
00:07:42Johnny, come on, take your plate and move it across.
00:07:44It will get cold.
00:07:45Good. Maybe it will cool your ardour.
00:07:47My ardour?
00:07:48Everyone's.
00:07:50Right, come along.
00:07:52Come on, you men, all out.
00:07:54Out, I said! From now on, the women will eat first.
00:08:05We should get first sitting at dinner, then.
00:08:07I can't stick cold bacon, me.
00:08:10So tell me, William,
00:08:12if you get the sack and had to leave without a character, where would you go?
00:08:15It wasn't bloody me.
00:08:16No, I said it was.
00:08:21Where would you go, Georgie?
00:08:23Back to Mrs Savage and the delights of Exmoor?
00:08:27All right if you like shagging sheep?
00:08:31Girls, men are not the same as us.
00:08:34There's no reason to them.
00:08:37A man in...
00:08:42..a man at night.
00:08:47Are you finding this amusing, Susan?
00:08:49No, Mrs Ryan.
00:08:54I'm sorry.
00:08:56A man may be polite.
00:09:00Attentive.
00:09:01The figure of respectability by day, but at night...
00:09:06..at night, if he thinks...
00:09:09..if you present yourself as...as...
00:09:12..less than a stranger...
00:09:16..then you may not be able to fend him off.
00:09:19I'm sorry.
00:09:22Then you may not be able to fend him off.
00:09:26And if you find yourself alone with him,
00:09:28you're just as guilty, aren't you, Mrs Ryan?
00:09:31Not as guilty, Charlotte, but certainly foolish.
00:09:35Which is why it's my duty to warn you.
00:09:39If there's anything any of you know...
00:09:44I mean, the sad thing is now
00:09:46every man in this house is looking at each and every one of you
00:09:49and thinking, is it her?
00:09:51Is it her?
00:09:54She has tarred you all with her brush.
00:10:19We are all adults.
00:10:21We know what went on.
00:10:23We also know that no-one is going to step forward
00:10:26and volunteer for dismissal.
00:10:28So I won't waste my breath
00:10:30asking for a confession that we will never get.
00:10:35His Lordship has decided to go to the Cumberland House for spring.
00:10:39We travel on Wednesday.
00:10:41I thought you were going to say you were going to the Cumberland House.
00:10:45To the Cumberland House for spring.
00:10:47We travel on Wednesday.
00:10:51Therefore, my footman will leave behind all the maids
00:10:54and all the temptations they present.
00:10:57However unwittingly.
00:10:59Unfortunately, one of the footmen must stay at Taplow's.
00:11:03As Lady Mary Bourne is too old for a Cumberland spring.
00:11:06Who isn't?
00:11:08And she will require a footman in attendance.
00:11:11Who, Mr Jarvis?
00:11:13That's for her lady's maid, Mrs Diggins, to decide.
00:11:17Someone I trust who doesn't totally revolt her.
00:11:21So, to stay here in luxury, you know what you have to do.
00:11:24Impress Mrs Diggins.
00:11:27Woo her.
00:11:38I return to this letter in some confusion.
00:11:41You've never before seen fit to make an announcement to the staff
00:11:44before you've even had the simple courtesy to consult me.
00:12:04Cumberland House.
00:12:05Just so the Earl can get some frigging hunting before the season ends.
00:12:08I hope he breaks his damn full neck.
00:12:10Bloody mildew in your braid and the stink of damp.
00:12:14There's no-one else for miles to a day's offer, right, Laff?
00:12:17Bloody hell.
00:12:18There's no question about it.
00:12:20It should be me stopping back.
00:12:22First footman.
00:12:24First footman goes with you, Earl. Cumberland for you, Will.
00:12:26Unless you can weed your way around Mrs Diggins.
00:12:29I can't stand the woman.
00:12:31And she can't abide me.
00:12:34So there you are, then.
00:12:35See what happens when you don't respect your elders?
00:12:37Where are you going?
00:12:39What's he after?
00:12:40Crafty bugger he's up around those, isn't he?
00:12:42Sneaky little sod.
00:12:47I'm looking after Mrs Diggins.
00:12:49I'll be a bit quicker off the mark, then.
00:12:50Oi! Give me that, Will.
00:12:52Look, look, look.
00:12:53Just pounded that.
00:12:54Oh, look how pretty she is.
00:12:59Her leadership is going to the morning room, Joseph.
00:13:09Come on.
00:13:24Well, chefs in Cumberland cook will do her evening meal.
00:13:27For the rest, you know what a ladyship likes.
00:13:30That's what most 90-year-olds like.
00:13:32Little and often and requiring no teeth.
00:13:34She's easy enough to please.
00:13:36Unlike her maid, eh?
00:13:38Mrs Diggins at least understands
00:13:40the need for good discipline in the house.
00:13:43Finally, I've instructed all the servants
00:13:45and all those concerned that there will be only one meal sitting.
00:13:49Without any discussion with me?
00:13:51If you'd have come to me in the first place.
00:13:54As it is, you double the servants' meal time
00:13:56without any consultation.
00:14:00That's everything.
00:14:03It is unfair to treat every man in this household
00:14:06as if we are crazed and lustful savages, Mrs Ryan.
00:14:10Just one of you.
00:14:12I saw no signs of a struggle in that room.
00:14:15No signs of any resistance.
00:14:19Would be ironic if whoever stayed behind was the culprit, eh?
00:14:24Still, you can always lock them in their room at night, can't you?
00:14:31You've got the best legs, homie.
00:14:32I have, haven't I?
00:14:34Mrs Diggins likes a good leg.
00:14:36What does Lady Bourne like?
00:14:38Ah, don't worry about her.
00:14:41Mrs Diggins rules the roost.
00:14:43What, old shovel face?
00:14:45She's all right.
00:14:46When I had that abscess, she gave me one of her powders.
00:14:48Yeah, there's that about her.
00:14:50Always gives her sugared almonds, doesn't she?
00:14:52You're having a song.
00:14:53Sugared bloody almonds?
00:14:58Give over, Fred.
00:14:59What? Don't you get an ear?
00:15:01Like hell I do, you smarmy sod.
00:15:03Says we need feeding up.
00:15:06Right, Fred, Joe.
00:15:07There won't be any goodies in Cumberland.
00:15:09Get her to the store room.
00:15:10Just rocks and railings.
00:15:12I've got stairs.
00:15:14On our way.
00:15:18Well, that'll save them, isn't it?
00:15:20They'll be one of them.
00:15:21You must be the favourite. I bet your Billy is.
00:15:23Yeah, but I've told you, she doesn't like me.
00:15:25She barely knows who I am.
00:15:26Well, wait.
00:15:27Are you going to stand by while they get their best Billy?
00:15:29What, and you and me dive a column of bloody wings here?
00:15:32I know they're only going to leave one of us behind,
00:15:34but hell, if that person's not going to be me,
00:15:36I'd want it to be you, mate.
00:15:38Oh, Sam here, mate.
00:15:39Well, shouldn't take much, then, should it?
00:15:41Gently nudge the black boys aside?
00:15:43I think we'll be able to manage it.
00:15:55Miss May, allow me to present to you the footman
00:15:58what is not going to the waste of Cumberland.
00:16:01What have they said?
00:16:02Well, I'm the only one that knows, so far.
00:16:28What are you doing, Cosmo?
00:16:29I don't know.
00:16:30She left a fan on the tray, sir, but I can't...
00:16:33And had she?
00:16:34Of course she hadn't.
00:16:35Faceache probably dropped it on the way.
00:16:37I bloody didn't.
00:16:38You see, sir, she always has to have a go at me.
00:16:40It's because you're so useless we have to run around after you.
00:16:42Do you two have to turn everything into a fight?
00:16:46Sorry, sir.
00:17:00A passionate woman makes bad bread.
00:17:05I don't know what you mean.
00:17:08Well, they say that hatred is the next thing to love.
00:17:12And if you're not careful, Lassie,
00:17:14you'll start liking it.
00:17:21I'd rather be fed to his low-chips dogs.
00:17:30I'm giving you as much notice as I've had myself, Felix.
00:17:33Tomorrow, plan a trade and serve a feast with one day's warning.
00:17:38Gust, the usual farewell supper for the upper servants.
00:17:42Felix Krauss does not have a usual.
00:17:45I mean the usual time, the usual place, the usual bloody servants.
00:17:50Your usual bloody good temper.
00:17:52Will you cook dinner tomorrow for the upper servants or not?
00:17:56Yes.
00:18:05Whole evening of Flora Ryan to look forward to.
00:18:08Shouting above the merry clank-clank of her rusted chastity belt.
00:18:14I think I've before me a man who has not had a walk into town recently.
00:18:23My hands feel too large, I stumble over my words,
00:18:26and you look at me as though I am a tedious irritant in your life.
00:18:32Whatever I say or do seems to make the matter worse,
00:18:35so that I'm becoming nervous about saying or doing anything at all.
00:18:51Oh, come on, Grace.
00:18:57What are you doing now, Grace?
00:19:00I was going to walk to the bakehouse for some bread flour.
00:19:03No, we have enough flour till the men leave.
00:19:06You want some rolls for the journey?
00:19:08If Mr Jarvis had wanted that kind of attention, he should have given us more warning.
00:19:12Go and help Charlotte with the oil's packing.
00:19:15It'll be supper time before you know it.
00:19:27I know. If she says one more thing to me, I swear I'll faint.
00:19:31Then she'll be sorry.
00:19:38Damn.
00:19:57Oh, stop it, George.
00:20:00Been in a fight, Fred?
00:20:02Yeah, any minute now, you idiot.
00:20:06You're prettifying yourself for Mrs Diggins.
00:20:08No, I'm not. And you, you want to go be careful.
00:20:14Well, don't you go stealing my razor.
00:20:16Well, I haven't touched your bloody razor.
00:20:18I know you, Fred.
00:20:20I know you.
00:20:22Well, I haven't touched your bloody razor.
00:20:24I know you, Fred. You leave it alone.
00:20:26What are you on about?
00:20:28Look, just because Mrs Diggins can't stand hairy legs,
00:20:31you get your own razor.
00:20:43You shaved your legs recently?
00:20:45Oh, I can't be arsed.
00:20:49I think we should.
00:20:53We thank you, Lord, for what you're about to receive
00:20:56and make us fit for the work you have allotted us.
00:20:59Amen.
00:21:00Amen.
00:21:01Amen.
00:21:04I don't even want to breathe here.
00:21:06Good. Don't bother trying there.
00:21:08There's no elbow room to cut anything.
00:21:10No.
00:21:11We'll have less moan-moan and get it down our necks
00:21:14if we can carry out our work.
00:21:16I thought you would have bled to death by now, Fred.
00:21:19Look.
00:21:20Mrs Diggins.
00:21:22Feeling time at the circus.
00:21:24Carry on, ladies and gentlemen.
00:21:26I'm just telling Mrs Diggins who's who.
00:21:33Yeah, you're wasting your time, lads.
00:21:36Sugared almonds.
00:21:38Can't get enough of that.
00:21:40I'm sorry.
00:21:41I'm sorry.
00:21:42I'm sorry.
00:21:43I'm sorry.
00:21:44I'm sorry.
00:21:45I'm sorry.
00:21:46I'm sorry.
00:21:47I'm sorry.
00:21:48Can't get enough of her, black boys.
00:21:52Oh, love.
00:21:53Mr Jarvis likes his coffee the same day as his dinner.
00:21:56Sorry, Mrs, won't have me running around all afternoon.
00:21:58Well, so long as you're not going for me.
00:22:00It is well, love.
00:22:01You'll be half way to Scotland.
00:22:02I'll be down here.
00:22:03No.
00:22:04I'm not going anywhere, love.
00:22:05Don't you worry.
00:22:10Mrs Diggins.
00:22:12Allow me.
00:22:13These things can weigh heavy at the end of a long day.
00:22:15You can't go into my lady's bedroom.
00:22:17I wouldn't dream of it.
00:22:18But I'll just carry it to the top of the stairs for you.
00:22:20Yeah?
00:22:26How is the ladyship?
00:22:28As she always is.
00:22:31I've got a soft spot for old people.
00:22:33My mum's old.
00:22:37And do you know?
00:22:39I don't suppose I do.
00:22:41My mum's got a bed warmer just like this.
00:22:43It's identical.
00:22:45How on earth could your mother possibly
00:22:47afford a warmer like this one?
00:22:49French, a la mode, and two guineas.
00:23:01My mum's old.
00:23:04Lovely.
00:23:15Oh, shut those bloody bells up.
00:23:27Any icicles outside?
00:23:30Can't be cumbered then.
00:23:35What have you got there?
00:23:37Nothing.
00:23:40It's not morning already, is it?
00:23:42Fine like that.
00:23:45What is that?
00:23:47It's nothing.
00:23:51Nothing at all, Joseph.
00:23:58If it's nothing, you can bloody well tell me.
00:24:01I thought we were in this together.
00:24:03We are.
00:24:04I don't want Fred and Joe knowing just yet.
00:24:06What?
00:24:07I mean it.
00:24:08It's only for us.
00:24:09I don't tell anyone.
00:24:13All right.
00:24:15It's lavender water.
00:24:17You know, smelly stuff.
00:24:19Piss off.
00:24:22Old shovel face loves it.
00:24:23She likes a shaven leg, a clean shaven chin,
00:24:26and loads of lavender water.
00:24:27She likes her flunky sweet.
00:24:30Does she now?
00:24:40Oh.
00:24:55Has he gone funny or what?
00:25:01Sir, has Mrs. Diggins made her choice yet?
00:25:04Let us know when she has.
00:25:05Mr. Adams, this evening the lowest servants
00:25:07may have a small party.
00:25:08There will be extra beer and food.
00:25:10Oh, I'm sure they'll be very grateful, sir.
00:25:12We will ensure that it is both respectable and decorous.
00:25:16After all, we'll not have our men led astray
00:25:19by these little madams, Mr. Adams.
00:25:22He's a poet, and he don't know it.
00:25:24I am William Shakespeare himself compared to you, Mr. Cosmo.
00:25:32I tell you what, you watch.
00:25:33Be the bloody statue of God.
00:25:35I tell you what, you watch.
00:25:36Be the bloody statue in a sodding harp next.
00:25:38We've taken everything else.
00:25:40What have you been doing to your coat?
00:25:43Nothing.
00:25:44It's all right.
00:25:45It's not good.
00:25:47Oh, well.
00:25:51All right, who's done that?
00:25:53I'll tell Mr. Jarvis.
00:25:54He'll be an hour or two late, shall I?
00:25:56Fred, glass houses and stones, mate.
00:25:58Very fragile glass houses, very big stones.
00:26:01You've been nobbled, mate.
00:26:03Oh, which one of you bastards?
00:26:11Stop it.
00:26:21Idiot grins on idiot faces.
00:26:24We're living with lunatics.
00:26:34And to which side of the line will the piano go on?
00:26:39If the person playing the piano is a woman,
00:26:42it will go on the female side.
00:26:44And if a man wants to play, it'll go on the male side.
00:26:47And if the piano is on the female side,
00:26:49who's going to move it to the male side?
00:26:51I dare say I will give a special dispensation
00:26:54for piano removal.
00:26:56And if the piano is on the female side,
00:26:58who's going to move it to the male side?
00:27:00I dare say I will give a special dispensation
00:27:02for piano removal.
00:27:04I trust you will make sure this line is observed, Mr. Adams.
00:27:09I'll do my job, Mrs. Ryan.
00:27:11As I always do.
00:27:13Yes, but you're not bothered to hide your disapproval, will you?
00:27:16Your attitude, Mr. Adams...
00:27:18Mrs. Ryan.
00:27:20Good.
00:27:21I was looking for you. Could you spare a few minutes?
00:27:31Anyone could slip away
00:27:33while the household is busy, while you're in your still room,
00:27:36or I'm upstairs.
00:27:38They could meet in here.
00:27:49Or here.
00:27:50I have work to do.
00:27:52Won't keep you long. Nearly finished.
00:27:55This is most unnecessary.
00:27:58They could have a party in here all night long
00:28:00and we wouldn't hear a thing, would we?
00:28:02I have a duty to those girls.
00:28:04We could spend half our lives trying to keep them apart,
00:28:06and they would spend all of theirs trying to get back together.
00:28:09And if you don't believe that you should prevent them from doing so,
00:28:12then you're not the gentleman I thought you were.
00:28:15Then we are destined to disappoint each other.
00:28:18I'm sorry.
00:28:20I'm sorry.
00:28:22I'm sorry.
00:28:24I'm sorry.
00:28:26Then we are destined to disappoint each other.
00:28:32Whoa!
00:28:56Whoa!
00:29:26Lunatics or the feeble-minded, we can take our choice.
00:29:57Are you telling me to remove my white line?
00:30:00You must do as you think fit.
00:30:03But they may find it amusing.
00:30:05Then they must laugh at me, mustn't they?
00:30:07As you do.
00:30:08I do not.
00:30:10Mrs Ryan.
00:30:14You are making a mistake.
00:30:17You've found two old blankets and three old candles.
00:30:22If you've finished with me...
00:30:24And because of that, I have engineered an early departure to Cumberland,
00:30:28your girls are unhappy, my men are dreading it,
00:30:31and still you are making a fool of yourself.
00:30:39I didn't realise you had engineered this removal.
00:30:45I helped His Lordship make up his mind.
00:30:49I helped His Lordship make up his mind.
00:31:12Dear Mr Jarvis,
00:31:14I'm at a loss to understand your recent behaviour towards me.
00:31:18How could you tell me, so brutally,
00:31:21that I am the cause of your departure?
00:31:24If this is true,
00:31:26it means that you prefer a cold and hated household
00:31:30to the one I have created at Taplow's.
00:31:33And if it is not true, then you said it hurt me, and that was cruel.
00:31:39Oh...
00:31:41Oh, I'm right on...
00:31:43I told him not to, but he doesn't know what fair play is.
00:31:47I'll tell you what, I'll make it up to you.
00:31:50No, no, no, don't bother.
00:31:52No, I will. Even the score a bit.
00:31:54You see, I know what prickly arse really goes for.
00:31:57Oh, yeah? What?
00:31:59Do you really think he's going to help anyone but George Cosmo?
00:32:02Fred, I'm not in the race, am I? Never have been. Too new.
00:32:06And I don't want to see Will trample over everybody.
00:32:09You ready?
00:32:11Lavender water.
00:32:13You're really having a laugh, aren't you?
00:32:16Well, it's up to you, mate, but I overheard her talking to Mrs Ryan.
00:32:20No nose hair, no hairy legs, and a sweet, sweet smell.
00:32:24I've got some for Will. He's up there now, putting it on.
00:32:28It's too late, anyway. Mrs Diggins is waiting.
00:32:37Good luck.
00:32:38I can't live without you.
00:32:39Right.
00:32:40I can't, Grace. I can't.
00:32:48Hey, hey, hey, I haven't finished!
00:32:50Off to see a fine show!
00:32:53Argh!
00:32:55Get your own!
00:32:59Woo! Frigging hell!
00:33:01Didn't I have to drink this stuff as well?
00:33:03It's taking the skin off my teeth.
00:33:05Never mind, Fred. You'll have the sweetest smelly shit ever.
00:33:08It's on my waistcoat.
00:33:09To the very least of your worries.
00:33:11Why is my top-floor corridor reeking like a French brothel?
00:33:15Sorry, Mr Jones.
00:33:16Why, Mr Forrest?
00:33:17Mrs Diggins, sir.
00:33:19And what has that good soul done to deserve such bad treatment?
00:33:22Well, she likes it, sir.
00:33:24Who told you that?
00:33:26Oh, bastard!
00:33:28Mr Matkin? Who told you that?
00:33:30Mr Cosmo, sir.
00:33:32Mr Cosmo.
00:33:35Tell me.
00:33:37Which footman is noticeable by his absence?
00:33:44Oh!
00:33:45You're going to run a little sod!
00:33:50With a toss of his head, the family would be celebrating.
00:33:54And he hardly ever did.
00:33:56WHISTLING
00:34:02I have only ever been a devoted friend to you.
00:34:05I think of you so highly that I cannot be convinced,
00:34:08as you seem to wish,
00:34:10that you are a cold and indifferent man.
00:34:14You must know my feelings towards you.
00:34:16And if it must be me who takes the first step
00:34:19in acknowledging those feelings, then I do so now.
00:34:23And I trust in your former gentleness and goodness
00:34:26to receive this letter kindly.
00:34:28Yours most sincerely,
00:34:31Flora.
00:34:42Could we have the door open?
00:34:44Yes, ma'am.
00:34:47Thank you, Mr Adams.
00:34:49Oh.
00:35:03So, Mrs Diggins,
00:35:05which of these fragrant gentlemen will you entrust with her ladyship?
00:35:09Well, I haven't changed my mind, Mr Jarvis.
00:35:12I don't like Yorkshiremen.
00:35:14And I won't have anyone who can't speak like a civilised Christian.
00:35:19And as I am not permitted to prise apart the black boys,
00:35:22Joseph, or... what's his name?
00:35:26And so... it is?
00:35:29Well, it'll have to be him.
00:35:32The ugly one.
00:35:34Very well.
00:35:36The ugly one will stay here. The more presentable ones may leave.
00:35:49Leave the door open, Mr Adams.
00:35:54She knew who she was going to choose from the bloody stars!
00:35:57I've been watching, I was laughing.
00:35:59Who's been picked?
00:36:00Let's try and guess, shall we, which your lucky star isn't here?
00:36:03George.
00:36:04Bloody George.
00:36:05Oh, I never followed BM.
00:36:07He's only been here a couple of months.
00:36:09Which of these fragrant gentlemen?
00:36:20Yes.
00:36:26You will make yourself available to Mrs Ryan at the start of day, every day.
00:36:30Yes, Mr Jarvis.
00:36:31And report to Mrs Diggins at noon.
00:36:33Yes, Mrs Ryan.
00:36:38Well, I don't understand a word he says,
00:36:40so it's useless me asking him anything.
00:36:44You're a gabbler and a mutterer.
00:36:47Yes, Mrs Diggins. Sorry, Mrs Diggins.
00:36:49You will give Mrs Ryan and Mrs Diggins the same deference and obedience you give me.
00:36:53Understand?
00:36:54Sir.
00:36:55I'm sure you'll have a better spring than your colleagues in Cumberland.
00:37:00After all, Mrs Ryan is no Mrs Casseldine.
00:37:05No, sir. She certainly isn't.
00:37:07Mrs Casseldine was an old housekeeper at George's last house.
00:37:13Yeah. Mrs Casseldine, quite a character.
00:37:16Twisted my ear a few times.
00:37:22Unless you have anything else?
00:37:24I'm sure Mr Cosmore will be a credit to you and respect my maids.
00:37:29I dare say he'll have his uses.
00:37:32You can go.
00:37:33Sir.
00:37:38Yes!
00:37:47It's only a bloody Teplo, isn't it?
00:37:49I know!
00:37:51Hi!
00:37:53No Jarvis, no Andrew, no Earl.
00:37:55She's in bed by eight every night.
00:37:57Bloody marvellous, isn't it? Poor old girl.
00:38:00Oh, what a shame.
00:38:17I know.
00:38:18Oh.
00:38:49So, Mrs Higgins.
00:38:51Mrs Diggins.
00:38:53Oh, if you'll pardon, Mrs Diggins.
00:38:55You don't find it dull when the household has moved on?
00:38:59Only the dull are dull.
00:39:04Of course.
00:39:06At least one person will not be sharing our head colds and rheumatism.
00:39:10I have rheumatism of my own, thank you.
00:39:13As has my lady.
00:39:14Mr Krauss, I was wondering what you thought of my creme anglaise.
00:39:17I was worried it was a little thick.
00:39:19Thick? No.
00:39:20It's perfect, Mrs Ryan.
00:39:22I couldn't do it better myself.
00:39:24Ah, good.
00:39:26Attention!
00:39:28Oh!
00:39:32Oh, goodness.
00:39:34Oh, that's...
00:39:35Mm-mm.
00:39:36Oh, that's...
00:39:37Oh, that's...
00:39:38Oh, that's...
00:39:39Oh, that's...
00:39:40Oh, that's...
00:39:41Oh, that's...
00:39:42Oh, that's...
00:39:43Oh, that's...
00:39:44Oh, that's beautiful.
00:39:51Jarvis.
00:39:58A small token, Mrs Ryan.
00:40:01A vote of thanks
00:40:03from the footmen, valets, maids
00:40:07and all those that are going north in the morning.
00:40:10Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs Ryan.
00:40:14How kind. Really.
00:40:16Really very kind.
00:40:19And these flowers!
00:40:20Mm-mm.
00:40:21How did you get them to be so delicate, Mr Krauss?
00:40:23Well, I shall tell you when we return.
00:40:26Special occasion?
00:40:27Special wine to go with?
00:40:28Madeira, please.
00:40:29Oh!
00:40:32I'm sorry, please excuse me.
00:40:34I have to, um...
00:40:35I'm sorry, please excuse me.
00:40:36I have to, um...
00:40:48Not long ago, in Westminster
00:40:51There lived a rat catcher's daughter
00:40:55And she didn't live in Westminster
00:40:58She lived outside of the water
00:41:02Her father brought rats
00:41:04And she brought bats
00:41:06Around her lair in the water
00:41:09And a gentle boatman
00:41:11Took off her hat
00:41:12To a trail that catcher's daughter
00:41:16Fa la la la la la
00:41:20Fa la la la la la
00:41:22Mr Cosmo.
00:41:23Sir.
00:41:24Carry on.
00:41:26It's George I want.
00:41:29Hey!
00:41:41Mr Cosmo.
00:41:42Yes, sir.
00:41:43Tell me about Mrs Castledine.
00:41:45Well, she was strict, Mr Jarvis.
00:41:49No doubt about it.
00:41:51But fair.
00:41:54And?
00:41:56Well, she's kept her good.
00:41:59I never really had much trouble with her, Mr Jarvis.
00:42:02Hope you've had your fill of supper, Mr Cosmo.
00:42:05You won't be returning to the party.
00:42:07Ha ha!
00:42:17Ha ha!
00:42:27Oh, my God!
00:42:29Oh, my God!
00:42:31Oh, no!
00:42:33Oh, no!
00:42:35Oh, my God!
00:42:37Oh, my God!
00:42:39Oh, my God!
00:42:41Oh, my God!
00:42:43Oh, my God!
00:42:45Oh, my God!
00:42:47Something's happened!
00:42:49It's George. George Cosmo.
00:42:51He's in big trouble.
00:42:53What's he done?
00:42:55He just took him off, face like thunder.
00:42:57Said he ain't coming back to the party.
00:42:59What's he done?
00:43:01Aye, it's him, innit?
00:43:03Him and some woman near the night.
00:43:05Bloody hell!
00:43:07Don't know that. Might not be.
00:43:09So he's the dirty little prick, is he?
00:43:13And Mr Jarvis will be applying the thumbscrews.
00:43:17So one of youse must be shitting herself, eh?
00:43:21Versailles.
00:43:23Versailles is too opulent for my taste.
00:43:25I mean, the French have no restraint.
00:43:27They must overdo everything.
00:43:29Overact the cake.
00:43:31Pudding.
00:43:33Same thing, I suppose.
00:43:37Yeah.
00:43:39And as for the British...
00:43:41Chatsworth.
00:43:43Chatsworth is beautiful.
00:43:53Mrs Cassel-Dyne
00:43:55was the first housekeeper
00:43:57at Ashwell Manor.
00:43:59A fearsome old biddy.
00:44:01120 years ago.
00:44:07If you'd have ever worked there,
00:44:09you would know that her onerous rules
00:44:11are hung above the servants' hall.
00:44:13But you didn't know that, did you?
00:44:17And I must draw my own conclusions.
00:44:19And I must draw my own conclusions.
00:44:21Sir, I'm...
00:44:23I'm sorry, Mr Jarvis.
00:44:25I'm really sorry.
00:44:27Sorry you've been found out?
00:44:29A forger and a liar.
00:44:31I did forge the character, sir.
00:44:33I know I shouldn't have, but...
00:44:35You are a rogue, Mr Cosmo.
00:44:37Are you not?
00:44:39Yes, Mr Jarvis,
00:44:41but I didn't want to lie.
00:44:43I needed a job, sir.
00:44:45But I'm a good footman.
00:44:47I'm...
00:44:49I work hard, sir.
00:44:51Cosmo.
00:44:53Is that a name?
00:44:55I've always had a feeling about that name.
00:44:57Well, it is, sir.
00:44:59I don't care what I do.
00:45:01I'll work in the garden, sir.
00:45:03I'll do the portering.
00:45:05We prefer our porters, to be honest.
00:45:07I'll be night-soilman, sir.
00:45:09I'll work my way back to footman.
00:45:11All right?
00:45:13Just let me prove to you, sir, prove I can do it.
00:45:15Just let me stay, sir, please.
00:45:17Mr Jarvis, let me stay.
00:45:19Mr Krause, I'm sorry.
00:45:21I won't be long.
00:45:23If you could speak for a moment.
00:45:25I really should help.
00:45:27Please.
00:45:29Of course.
00:45:39Hey, it's not my auntie Mary again, is it?
00:45:41She's the only one she knows.
00:45:43Oh, why?
00:45:45I'm just trying to remember, ain't I?
00:45:47It is. It's my auntie Nellie, isn't it?
00:45:49My auntie Nellie.
00:45:51She had a wooden belly.
00:45:53And every time she walked in,
00:45:55Wobbled like a jelly.
00:45:57I thanked her.
00:45:59Barely.
00:46:01She turned to reply and you'd gone.
00:46:03My face was in a rictus with the effort
00:46:05Of smiling at the bloody woman all...
00:46:07All right, all right.
00:46:09I'll grovel
00:46:11And fawn some more.
00:46:13Happy?
00:46:15Happy.
00:46:31I have the measure of you, Mr Cosmo.
00:46:33You're cocky.
00:46:35Pragmatic.
00:46:37Or the moral backbone
00:46:39Of an earthworm.
00:46:41Look,
00:46:43I'm gonna be honest with you, sir, all right?
00:46:45A little late, perhaps.
00:46:47I've always
00:46:49Been a waster, sir.
00:46:51Am I arguing?
00:46:53But this is like a light
00:46:55Has dawned on me, and I've seen how everyone
00:46:57Works and how everyone behaves
00:46:59And how things should be.
00:47:01And I'm not a waster anymore, sir.
00:47:03Finished?
00:47:07Yeah.
00:47:09Yeah.
00:47:11Well, except...
00:47:15I used to want to be a valet, sir.
00:47:17You know,
00:47:19A fancy down.
00:47:21Neckties, girls, high heels,
00:47:23You know the kind of thing.
00:47:25But I don't anymore, sir.
00:47:27I want to be a butler.
00:47:31I see.
00:47:37And if I could believe a word of it,
00:47:39I would be gratified.
00:47:45I'll decide what to do with you in the morning.
00:47:51Now get out of my sight.
00:47:55Sir.
00:47:57When you're gone,
00:47:59I'll mourn you
00:48:01Like widows ought to do.
00:48:03But just till then
00:48:05I'll bide my time
00:48:07And do what good wives do.
00:48:09I'll stir your broth.
00:48:11I'll stir your broth.
00:48:13I'll calm your wrath.
00:48:15I'll calm your wrath.
00:48:17I'll poke your collar.
00:48:19I'll poke your collar.
00:48:21I'll steal your bow.
00:48:23I'll steal your bow.
00:48:25I'll steal your bow.
00:48:27I'll knead your bread.
00:48:29I'll knead your bread.
00:48:31I'll stay in your bed.
00:48:33I'll stay in your bed.
00:48:35And when your old man comes a-knocking,
00:48:37Like old men they do,
00:48:39I shall come in,
00:48:41Because it ain't no sin
00:48:43What wives and husbands do.
00:48:45See you later.
00:48:55You've been dismissed.
00:48:57Not yet.
00:48:59But you will be.
00:49:01And me. We'll both be out on our ears.
00:49:03No, it's nothing to do with you.
00:49:05Of course it is.
00:49:07They'll work it out now.
00:49:09They know who the man is.
00:49:11It's not that.
00:49:15It's...
00:49:17My character.
00:49:19Jarvis knows how foolish my character is.
00:49:21It's not that.
00:49:23Jarvis knows how foolish my character...
00:49:27I know.
00:49:39This is Ryan.
00:49:41Mr Jarvis.
00:49:45Have you forgotten something?
00:49:49My manners.
00:49:51I'm sorry I had to leave so early.
00:49:53I had intended to come back.
00:49:55It's fine. We managed without you.
00:49:59There was a problem with one of the men.
00:50:01And is it solved?
00:50:03Postponed.
00:50:07It was always on the cards, love.
00:50:09We always knew there was a risk they'd find me out.
00:50:11No, we didn't.
00:50:13We thought you'd got away with it.
00:50:15Look, Jane, don't worry about me.
00:50:17I'll be all right.
00:50:19Don't you want me to come with you?
00:50:21Why come on?
00:50:23I'll run up and pack my things.
00:50:25Come with me to the workhouse.
00:50:27Come and sleep in a ditch with me, Grace.
00:50:29I don't mind.
00:50:31Well, that's because you never had to do it.
00:50:33I can't bear to lose you.
00:50:35No, we'll be all right.
00:50:37We'll meet again.
00:50:39No, we won't.
00:50:41You know we won't.
00:50:43Once you've gone...
00:50:45Look,
00:50:47I'm Frank.
00:50:49I'm not taking you away from everything you love.
00:50:53I love you.
00:50:57I'm not taking you.
00:51:17I'm not taking you.
00:51:47Well,
00:51:49as pleasant as this is,
00:51:53a long day tomorrow, Mrs. Wright.
00:51:59Thank you for a delightful meal.
00:52:01Mr. Krause cooked it.
00:52:05So he did.
00:52:09Well,
00:52:11well,
00:52:17good night, Mrs. Wright.
00:52:41Good night.
00:53:11Good night.
00:53:41Whoa.
00:53:49Oh, hold it.
00:53:51Hold it.
00:53:53Be careful.
00:53:55My boxes must be loaded last and unloaded first.
00:53:57Hurry.
00:54:01Have you ever seen such chaos, Mrs. Wright?
00:54:03Every time the men return or leave, Mr. Krause.
00:54:05Johnny, don't drag it on the floor.
00:54:07Pick it up.
00:54:09When you men have gone, silence will descend
00:54:11like a blessing.
00:54:13Or when we're dying off cold and damp,
00:54:15please think of us with pity.
00:54:17I'm sure you'll manage to take care of yourselves.
00:54:23Oh, hang on.
00:54:25There's this thing here.
00:54:27It's too late, mate.
00:54:29What do we do with it then?
00:54:31I'll give you a clue.
00:54:33Your farts will be very musical from now on.
00:54:35Yeah, but it's on the list.
00:54:37And every time we take a shit,
00:54:39leave her in her place, she was only a Welshman's daughter.
00:54:41Yeah, but only the opening cards, eh?
00:54:43Mr. Forrest,
00:54:45undo those ropes and unload your things.
00:54:47My things, sir?
00:54:49Get your trunk off that cart and back to your room.
00:54:51You're staying.
00:54:55What's going on with them?
00:54:57Use your head, son.
00:54:59George gets a sack, you need someone to stay behind.
00:55:01Yours ever so truly.
00:55:03Here, mate, give me a hand.
00:55:05I've got to unload my box.
00:55:13Mr. Cosmo!
00:55:15Get your bones in here!
00:55:25When I read the work of fiction
00:55:27you passed off as character,
00:55:29I thought you were too good to be true.
00:55:33Have you been a footman before?
00:55:39No, sir.
00:55:43Then it's been a remarkable performance.
00:55:45Quite the showman.
00:55:49Very well.
00:55:53Let's go and pack your bags.
00:55:55Let's go and pack your bags.
00:56:01Thank you, Mr. Jarvis.
00:56:07I was, er...
00:56:09I was just thinking, sir, about the old greenhouses.
00:56:11What did I just tell you to do?
00:56:13Well, while you were away, so I could put them right.
00:56:15Mr. Cosmo!
00:56:17Well, in the spring I could do the old ditches and clear out the old pond.
00:56:19You won't get the chance.
00:56:21You're taking William Forrest's place in Cumberland.
00:56:25Get a move on.
00:56:27Go on!
00:56:33Yes, sir.
00:56:37Yes, sir.
00:56:41I will be watching you, Mr. Cosmo.
00:56:43You will have a shadow one step out of line
00:56:45and I will have you.
00:56:47Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
00:56:49I'm not being sacked.
00:56:53I will make your life miserable.
00:56:55I'm warning you.
00:56:57Thank you, sir. I will not regret it.
00:57:01I thought you'd gone.
00:57:03Where the hell have you been?
00:57:05Doing a dance with Mr. Jarvis.
00:57:07Do the night. Was it you?
00:57:09It was, wasn't it, with some bloody woman.
00:57:11Well, what can I say, Will?
00:57:13They can't keep their hands off me.
00:57:15Just tell me who it was.
00:57:17Listen, whoever she was,
00:57:19I'll keep the bled warm for you.
00:57:21Piss off, Will. George, come on, mate.
00:57:23I can keep a secret.
00:57:25Church, let me know.
00:57:27Tell me who it was. Use your name.
00:57:29All right.
00:57:31Posh, skinny, tall,
00:57:33spoiled. I'm desperate for it.
00:57:35Lady Caroline?
00:57:37It never was.
00:57:39You're joking.
00:57:41You and Lady Caroline?
00:57:43You'd have been lynched, mate.
00:57:45Had I got you by now, you would have been sad, George.
00:57:47I'm Mr. Scandal.
00:57:49They've got to keep me on and keep me sweet.
00:57:53Got to run.
00:57:55I'll see you in a few months.
00:57:57New one. Lady Caroline.
00:57:59Don't worry about it.
00:58:01Cheers, Will.
00:58:15Where's Mr. Cosmo?
00:58:17See you in a few months, gents.
00:58:19Boys.
00:58:25What do you have there?
00:58:29Bye!
00:58:31Bye!
00:58:33Bye!
00:58:35Bye!
00:58:37Bye!
00:58:39Bye!
00:58:41Bye!
00:58:43George gave me a booklet.
00:58:45You never guess who he's been doing it with.
00:59:03Well, Mrs. Ryan,
00:59:05I'll see you in the summer.
00:59:07I look forward to it, Mr. Jarvis.
