Trixie: The whole of my career in the East End, which equates to almost all of my adult life.

You would have served less time for murder.

I don't see it that way, Mr.

Scarisbrick.

It wasn't a sentence.

It was, and still is, a privilege.

And now our maternity home is closing down, and the domestic delivery of babies could end up virtually outlawed.

Thank you, Peel Report.

I don't want to work in hospitals.

I want to get to know the women I'm caring for.

I want them to feel safe, as though birth is a miraculous but normal part of life.

Soon I won't be able to provide that, and... in my view, that's a... terrible loss.

I'm simply grateful we're able to offer an alternative.

To those who can afford to pay.

Nevertheless, we have new adventures to look forward to.

In due course, I'll have something else to put to you, but not today.

We have quite enough to celebrate.

Perhaps you'll allow me to take you out to dinner?

Perhaps.

In a week or two.
