[final words]
Mature Jenny : [voiceover] In the East End I found grace and faith and hope hidden in the darkest corners. I found tenderness and squalor and laughter amid filth. I found a purpose and a path, and I worked with a passion for the best reason of all - I did it for love.

[first lines]
Mature Jenny : [narrating] Newborns are always beautiful. They cannot fail to make the heart sing, for even the plainest faces are alive with promise. But I have always seen beauty in old age too. Light shines through the bone, exquisite even as it flickers, even as it flutters and dims towards the end.
