January, 1917, Richard Bellamy receives a 'Lordship' which makes Hudson's day more than anyone's! Virginia Hamilton makes her first appearance when she arrives at Eaton Place to see Mr. Bellamy for help with a charity set up by she and her friend. She's sent away - more or less with a flea in her ear, and Richard is hoping never to see her again. However; she reports him to his seniors and then comes back to apologise.
Edward is home on leave, and although he makes a brave attempt to put on a front, is actually quite ill. He is found sobbing on the stairs late New Years' Eve by Mr. Bellamy. He subsequently tries to get him invalided out of the Army using his influence and Sir Geoffrey Dillon.
The Bellamys whilst entertaining, feel and hear an explosion nearby one evening - little do they know it is where Ruby went to work. During the night, Rose wakes the mistress to tell her Ruby has arrived, frightened and homeless in the Servants' Hall.
Viewers will find this episode another tear-jerker with lots of moving moments and nostalgia - particularly as the camera scans the hallway when it's all silent in the dead of night. Thought-provoking stuff!
