MOANING AND GASPING
You can't come now... You can't come now,
it's not ready, it's not ready, it's not time.
What on earth are you doing?
This is not the time to be rearranging ornaments.
Look at the rug! It's soaked! And it's Persian!
Oh, God. Oh...
SHE COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
You must have eaten something bad.
I'm having the baby, Frances. It's coming now.
I have to get upstairs.
I have to get everything off, everything...
I'll fetch help!
I can't get upstairs! Frances!
SHE GROANS
I'm sure it isn't coming now.
I'm thirsty. I'm so thirsty.
I'm sure this is just a false alarm.
I'm sure this is quite normal.
Everything off, everything off!
The buttons, Frances! The buttons!
The corset, Frances, the corset!
I'm trying, I'm going as fast as I can - stop shouting at me.
SHE GASPS
It's stopped, it's stopped.
There. What did I tell you? Quite normal.
Your corset was just too tight. "I'm having the baby."
Always so melodramatic, Honoria. It was just your corset.
You can't even look at it.
That's your niece or nephew in here. Part of you.
It is no part of me.
Your appearance is of someone quite mad, you know.
I don't care.
Well, YOU might not, but I do.
Please can you help me with my boots?
I can't bend down. If I could, I wouldn't ask you.
That's quite enough nonsense for one night.
I'm only relieved Papa isn't here.
I assume you can manage on your own now.
I am so very thirsty.
I'll fetch you some milk.
And then I suppose I had better clear up after you.
Of course, the one day Rose is away
is the day you choose to wreak havoc. The hallway is a disgrace.
- I'm sorry. - Yes! You're always sorry after.
Well, that is the point of sorry, Frances.
Who would be sorry before?
And you've done plenty to be sorry about.
Do you want this milk?
Because if you speak to me like that,
I shan't fetch it for you and you'll be thirsty.
Well?
Yes! I want the milk.
DOOR CLOSES
HUBBUB OF CONVERSATION AND LAUGHTER
Bring me the bottle!
Daisy!
There's some good news for you, Bill.
Inspector Bucket's to be sent home.
Won't be breathing down your neck no more.
So much for the new detective, eh?
Er, Mr Wegg?
We're not pals.
Don't talk to me like we're pals.
Course not, Mr Sikes. Begging your pardon, sir.
See? Don't have to be all punching and kicking, does it?
Come 'ere. I'm proud of ya.
SHE LAUGHS
Tomorrow, when Mr Compeyson calls,
he is not to be allowed into the house.
Tell him he can go back to his lady friend.
He has lied to me, Mary. Lied.
Say nothing to the others.
Leave me.
WAILING
SHE SCREAMS
Honoria?
I've got your milk.
You said no more nonsense.
It's coming, it's coming, it wasn't the corset, it really is the baby.
- But it can't come now. - I know!
Why is it coming now?
I don't know, I don't know, but something is wrong,
something is so wrong.
I will fetch Mrs Gamp.
No, no, not her, I hate her, she stinks, she's drunk, not her.
Well, who, then? We don't have enough money for a doctor,
not until Father is home - Mrs Gamp is all we can afford.
James. Send for James.
- Oh, good God, no! - This is his baby. His baby. He will come.
He will have enough money for a doctor.
Send for James, please.
SHE SCREAMS
Yes, I will send for him, he will bring a doctor,
all will be well. I'll go now, stay where you are!
SHE GROANS
Hurry! Hurry.
Boy! Boy!
Take this note to Captain Hawdon.
I'm away to my bed.
No, no, you can't. I mean, you can, of course you can,
but after you've taken this note!
Go to the barracks. No. No, not the barracks.
He'll be drinking. He'll be drinking, of that I'm certain.
Like a petulant boy. The Three Cripples.
Go to the Three Cripples first, and if he isn't there,
then go to the barracks.
I'll need a penny, Miss.
I don't have a penny.
But Captain Hawdon will pay you.
He'll give you a sixpence. A shiny, silver sixpence.
It's SO important.
Go! Run!
Run!
Just a minute!
One minute!
I'm coming!
One minute!
Did you send for him?
Yes. What are you doing?
I don't know. It just feels right.
What's all that?
There are always cloths and water.
That much I know.
There are always cloths and water.
So I got some, and an encyclopaedia.
M for Midwifery.
The doctor will need a sensible woman to assist him.
I am she.
Do you promise you sent for James?
I promise.
I want a doctor to come, even if I do not want Captain Hawdon.
Do you think he'll come? After the... the disagreement?
The "disagreement".
Oh, oh, Frances.
The "disagreement"?
He'll come.
Despite the disagreement, despite you and everything you've done,
he will come.
He loves me, you see.
This is his baby.
He loves me so much.
I'm sure you should be in bed.
Oh, what would you know?
If you aren't in bed when Captain Hawdon and the doctor come,
they'll see your legs.
Captain Hawdon has seen more than my legs.
- SHE TUTS Must you? - And the doctor will see MUCH more than my legs.
Or do you think he'll magically discover the baby under
a gooseberry bush?
We don't even have a gooseberry bush.
SHE LAUGHS
I don't know why I'm laughing, it hurts so much.
Oh, it hurts so much.
Then get to bed!
No. I don't want to be in bed. This helps.
It helps just to stay like this.
For a little while at least.
- Shall I leave you? - No. No. No. No.
You have a rose petal in your hair.
No, don't. Don't. It's pretty.
Let it stay.
MUSICIANS PLAY
Do you want the same again?
Yeah.
Oi, Daise, can I have the same again?
- Get off me. - How are you?
- Leave off. - Oh, don't be like that.
Oi, I said get off me.
Hands off! MY girl!
SHE LAUGHS
Captain Hawdon, from Miss Barbary.
Miss Barbary?
Yes, sir.
Not Miss Honoria? Not the beautiful one.
I know her handwriting.
She said I'd find you here, sir.
She said she'd be certain you'd be drinking, sir.
Like a petulant boy.
I'm not angry with you. What else did she say?
She also said that you'd give us sixpence, sir.
I'm going to give you some advice. Man to man.
I'd rather you give me the sixpence, sir.
When the woman you love,
when the one who has your heart calls for you, you run to her.
Run as fast as you can, through fire, through storms, run.
But when her sister demands your presence... you leave her to sweat.
She did say that was important, sir.
It will be insults and threats
and she'll take herself off to her narrow bed and sleep the sleep
of the righteous as though she hadn't tried to destroy everything.
But she won't. She can't part us.
Nothing can do that, least of all Miss Frances Barbary.
- You have your sixpence. Go. - Yes, sir.
CLOCK CHIMES
You're very hot.
No, I'm cold.
This isn't particularly informative.
It doesn't tell you what to do after the cord is cut.
Just, just swaddle the baby and then hand it to the wet nurse.
We don't have a wet nurse.
We have me.
Captain Hawdon's taking his time.
He'll be fetching a doctor.
I wonder what it is, a little boy or a little girl?
I don't mind, a daughter or a son, as long as it's healthy,
but I wonder what it is. - It's unwanted.
I want it. James wants it.
Are you so blind, Honoria?
This baby is a scandal!
It is shame! It is disgrace!
It will stain our family name forever!
And it is your doing, your wilfulness,
that has dragged us all into the mire!
Why do you hate me so much?
I don't.
Ever since you came home, ever since you came back, you have hated me.
Hated me and hated me. What did I do?
Apart from ruin yourself.
No, before this. You hated me.
There was nothing I could do that was right for you.
Just hating and hating. Why?
You were always preferred.
What are you talking about?
Everyone always preferred you. Loved you most.
Mama. Father.
- But that's not true. - Oh, yes, it is!
Frances, you were engaged. You were going to be married.
你应该很高兴 你才是被偏爱的那一个 You were happy. You were preferred.
你违弃你的婚约就为了回到家来恨我 You broke off your engagement to come back home to hate me?
来伤害我 To hurt me?
不是我毁约的 是他 It wasn't I who broke off the engagement. He did.
- 可你说过 - 我知道我说了什么 - But you said that... - I know what I said.
我太了解他了 I was too sober for him.
我太刻板了 Too serious.
他说 “你为什么不能像霍诺莉亚一样呢 He said, "Why can't you be more like Honoria?
她是那样无忧无虑 那样富有生气” She's so carefree, so vivacious."
当我想到有人爱我 And then just when I thought that someone preferred me,
当我想到莱斯特·戴洛克先生有兴趣于 just when I thought that Sir Leicester Dedlock had an interest...
莱斯特先生 你还指望他吗 Sir Leicester? You had hopes there?
那为什么你还把他让给我 如果你指望他的话 Why did you push me to him, if you had hopes?
他不喜欢我 他喜欢你 He didn't want me. He wanted you.
他被你迷住了 He was captivated.
无法自拔 所以 你明白了吗 Entranced. So, you see?
你总是讨人喜欢的那一个 得到的爱永远最多 You were always preferred, always loved the most.
我最爱的人是你 I loved You most.
不 你不是 No, you didn't.
我真的 I did.
姐姐 姐姐 My sister. My sister.
你才是我最爱的人啊 I loved you the most.
如果是个男孩 就叫托马斯·爱德华 If it's a boy, Thomas Edward.
是个女孩就叫埃丝特·弗朗西斯 If it's a girl, Esther Frances.
你就要当姑妈了 弗朗西斯 You're going to be an aunt, Frances.
这孩子流着你一部分的血啊 This baby is part of you.
我们的血脉 詹姆斯和我结婚是因为我们太需要一个孩子了 Part of us. James and I will marry because this baby is so wanted.
如果是一个女孩 埃丝特·弗朗西斯 你和我重归于好 If it's a girl, Esther Frances, and you and I start again.
我们会重修于好我们会努力做到 We start again and we try.
我们不能试着去做吗 Can't we try?
医生在哪里 詹姆斯在哪里 Where is the doctor? Where's James?
他们就来了 They're coming.
停下 我们得等他们 Make it stop, we have to wait!
不能停下 不能等了 There's no stopping, there's no waiting!
我好怕 弗朗西斯 我好害怕 我怕我要死了 I'm scared, Frances, I'm scared, I'm scared I'm going to die,
我怕我要死了 我要死了 I'm scared I'm dying, I'm dying!
不会的 看着我 看着我 No, look at me. Look at me!
现在 听着 Now, listen.

让我看看她 我要抱抱她 I want to see her, I want to hold her.
我快好了 I'm nearly done.
我把她包好就给你 I'll wrap her and I'll give her to you.
你做到了 你做到了 霍诺莉亚 You did it, you did it, Honoria!
我们做到了 这没有想象中那么困难 We did it, and it was simply rather miraculous!
弗朗西斯 怎么了 出什么事了 Frances. What is it? What's wrong?
弗朗西斯 Frances?
不 No.
不 不 不 不 No, no, no, no.
噢 霍诺莉亚 不要 不要 不要 Oh, Honoria, don't, don't, don't...
哦 Oh...
她那么弱小 She's so tiny.
她那么美丽 She's so beautiful.
她完美极了 Oh, she's perfect.
她好冷 She's cold.
她那么冷 那么冷了 She's cold. She's so cold.
不不不不要 这只会对你更糟 No, no, no, no, don't, you'll make it worse for yourself.
她好冷 弗朗西斯 她好冷啊 She's cold. Frances, she's cold...

我们该怎么办 What are we going to do?
我们不能举行葬礼 We can't have a funeral.
她甚至都不能有个像样的墓 她将何去何从 She won't even have a proper grave. Where will she go?
我会处理这一切 明天再说 I'll deal with that. Not now but tomorrow.
我会来安排 I'll make arrangements.
你会为她念悼词吗 能献花悼念她吗 Will you say prayers for her? Can she have flowers?
是的 当然 Yes, of course.
我想让她知道她是被人爱着的 I want her to know she was loved.
埃丝特·弗朗西斯 Esther Frances.
她是被人深深爱着的 She was really loved.
是我咎由自取 I brought this on myself.
是我种下的祸根 This is my ruin.
这就是为什么她会死 是我的错 That's why she died. It's my fault.
可这对她来说太快了 这一切发生的太早了 It was too soon for her. It was just too early.
你是对的 你总是对的 我现在终于知道了 You were right. You've always been right. I see that now.
我挥霍生命虚度年华 I was dancing through life.
现在一切都结束了 That's stopped now.
弗朗西斯 Frances?

他没有来 他总是保证他会的 He didn't come to us as he always promised he would.
