My own news is not very cheerful.
:04:11
In the 7 years since I last wrote,
I have again left my husband...

:04:15
...and, sad to say,
my marriage seems to be over.

:04:19
I'm staying at a friend's
boarding house in Clevedon.

:04:50
I don't know what my future is.
:04:53
Since Catherine, my daughter, got
married, my life has been empty.

:04:57
The years stretch before me and
if only I knew how to fill them.

:05:02
But I would like to be useful again.
:05:12
-Burned again?
-Yes, I'm sorry, sir.

:05:15
The rule in the kitchen
has always been...

:05:18
...cook cooks the cooked breakfast
while her assistant toasts the toast.

:05:23
Why don't we get her a pop-up toaster?
:05:26
We need not a new gadget
but a revised staff plan, sir.

:05:30
A staff plan, huh?
I didn't know we had one.

:05:33
A faulty one, unfortunately.
:05:37
Sir, quite recently...
:05:39
...you were kind enough to suggest
that I go on a little holiday trip...

:05:44
...around the country.
:05:46
Absolutely. Certainly, take a break.
See the world.

:05:49
Thank you, sir.
:05:51
When did you last see the world?
:05:55
The world always used to come
to this house, if I may say so.
