Given that the characters here are Britons, we see a rigid adherence to ritual and routine, with many seemingly unfazed by the drastic change around them and simply willing to adapt. When Washbourne is handed a death certificate, for instance, she&#8217;s sad but accepts it. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-1024x565.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"353\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-78666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-1024x565.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-300x165.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-768x424.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-1536x847.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate-489x270.png 489w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Death-Certificate.png 1655w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Richardson&#8217;s stuffy Lord Fortnum tries to protest the changes he feels happening to him:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"346\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-78667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-128x69.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-768x415.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-1536x831.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson-499x270.png 499w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Bed-Sitting-Room-Richardson.png 1655w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230;
