every episode of call the midwife → 2x02 ↳ Like the temple of Thebes I crumble, my needs reviewed with every passing year. The time of being useful, the time of being important. These, too, have passed

every episode of call the midwife → 2x01 ↳ My mum says to me, ‘Mol, you shouldn’t romanticise. You shouldn’t always go seeing the beauty where there ain’t none.’ But if I didn’t, then what would there be to see?

every episode of call the midwife → 2012 christmas special ↳ As the days ticked down, it seemed as though the district was fizzing with delight. But at Nonnatus House, a different magic was at work.

every episode of call the midwife → 1x01 ↳ I must have been mad. I could have been an air hostess. I could have been a model. I could have moved to Paris, or been a concert pianist. I could have seen the world, been brave, followed my heart. But I didn’t. I sidestepped love and set off for the East End of London, because I thought it would be easier. Madness was the only explanation!

every episode of call the midwife → 1x06 ↳ I never had enough of anything when I was growing up, but with him it was as if my life was spilling out of the cup. I grabbed love with both hands. I had a chance, I took it. It was the best and bravest thing I ever did.

[politedemon]

every episode of call the midwife → 1x02 ↳ I used to think that night was a time for women. All day, the docks were raucous with the lives of men. Lightermen and stevedores, dockers and pilots, the sailors and the drivers of the trains. In the smallest hours, only the river’s voice was heard. Only women were awake.

BELLE O'15… Bonita Granville, who has an important comedy role in the Hal Roach-M-G-M feature “Merrily We Live,” garbs herself charmingly for a belle of 15 years in a flowered challis dirndl made for her by Ernest Schrapps. The laced basque is green taffeta.
