00:00To be continued...
02:32You look pale, Fanny.
02:33Are you well?
02:34Yes, thank you, Mama.
02:36Then where's your appetite?
02:37I'm tired, that's all.
02:39Some men wake me in the night.
02:41What men?
02:42Oh, just some men laughing and singing in the alley.
02:45It was very late.
02:46I heard St. Martin's strike five.
02:49Are you often woken up like that?
02:52Hardly ever, Papa.
02:54Hmm, good.
02:55All the same, perhaps we should move to the little room at the front.
02:58You know as well as I do, my dear, that Panton Street is bedlam until midnight.
03:03Yeah?
03:04Hello, Chunk.
03:05Oh, good morning, Miss Fanny.
03:08Ma'am.
03:09What is it?
03:11Could I have a word with you, please, Mr. Officer, please?
03:14Well, you know the rules.
03:16No business to be discussed in my private quarters.
03:19Only in a dire emergency.
03:21Is it a dire emergency, Mr. Box?
03:23Well, no, sir, not exactly dire.
03:25I'll be down directly.
03:27Mr. Officer.
03:29Ma'am.
03:30Miss Fanny.
03:35A good man, but forgetful.
03:40Finish your food, child.
03:42Must I?
03:43Yes.
03:44There's plenty who go hungry.
03:46Happen to me often enough.
03:52Your father's right.
03:54Thank the Lord for his bounty and just eat up.
03:57You mustn't be late for school.
04:07How are you all, sir?
04:10I see.
04:11And it was this that made you forget the rules.
04:15Yeah, well, see it yourself, sir.
04:17Upwards, Hades, indeed.
04:19Not Hades, Chunks.
04:21Hades.
04:22Aye?
04:23It's a Greek name for the netherworld.
04:27What?
04:28Abode of departed spirits.
04:31Rather appropriate.
04:33Well, does that mean you're not going to have it set the rights then, sir?
04:37Oh, no.
04:39No, it's more right now than it was before.
04:42No, all it needs
04:43is an apostrophe.
04:45And they've even left room for one.
04:47No, no.
04:49I think I'll see to that myself.
04:51Sure.
04:52Okay.
04:54Good.
04:54Yeah.
04:56Good.
05:04Good.
05:05Good.
05:06Madness.
05:07Good.
05:08Good.
05:17Good.
05:17Fellow ladies, you've got to be back in time for dinner, will you?
05:28The Happy Warrior Public House in Panton Street, if you please.
05:32Go on.
05:47Hello
05:53Come on, come on, come on!
06:23Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!
06:41I won, I won, Mama!
06:43You're very late, Lucy. Oh, hello, Fanny dear, how are you?
06:47Very well, thank you, Mrs Deckett.
06:49Right.
06:51Well?
06:53God kept in my teacher for not paying attention.
06:55There's no need to sound so proud about it, Lucy.
06:58We pay good fees for your education.
07:00Papa would not be at all pleased.
07:02You won't tell him, will you?
07:04Just count your blessings that he's gone to a sale of books in St John's Wood.
07:08Oh, school, it's so tedious.
07:11I know, I know. Learning isn't easy.
07:14You mustn't be so impatient to grow up.
07:16Do you get scolded, Fanny?
07:18Sometimes.
07:19That's because he's always asking too many questions.
07:22Well, if it is a fault, it's a good one.
07:24Four o'clock.
07:26You best run along, dear.
07:27I know your mother gets anxious when you're late.
07:29Goodbye, Mrs Beckett.
07:30See you tomorrow, Lucy. Catch!
07:32Bye!
07:34Sleep tight. Mind the fleece don't bite.
07:37Lucy, that was not very polite.
07:40You're welcome home.
07:41I'm home.
07:42Am on, you're back.
07:43No!
07:44My parents were very guilty.
07:45I'm walking in jail this morning, just read me for that line of that store.
07:47Lovely panker.
07:48They'll watch that.
07:49You're right.
07:50Got it.
07:51Get out.
07:52You're welcome.
07:53Get out of the van.
07:54You're welcome.
07:55It's as great as if you're very talented.
07:56That's not the only human to drink.
07:57I'm only speaking to this house.
07:58I'm not the only human to drink.
07:59I'm not the best.
08:00You're not the best.
08:01You're welcome.
08:02It's lovely, thank you.
08:32What the hell did you get?
09:02What the hell did you get in?
09:04Lost our tongue, have we?
09:06I'm sorry, my balls were down the steps. I was just looking.
09:11Oh, just looking, was you?
09:13Well, this place ain't for the likes of you, leastways, not yet.
09:17You see, you ain't got enough up here.
09:20Oh, yes, they like a bit of breast on their chicken, they do.
09:25And you certainly ain't got enough down there.
09:28Please, please don't do that.
09:31We're playing the little innocent, are we?
09:33Well, you don't fool me, dearie.
09:35So you just hop it and come back in for a year.
09:37Why three years?
09:39Cos the toffs like little game birds.
09:42And by then you'll be ready for the plucking.
09:45That's why.
09:46Now, clear off.
09:48Governor, don't allow children in this place of pleasure.
09:51Now, shut your mouth, ma'am Moffat!
09:52Don't!
09:53Now, you let the door open again, didn't you?
09:55Don't you go blaming me.
09:56Those little slut sneaks in behind me back.
09:58I'll give her a good clout round the ear off.
10:00Now, you lay your finger on Miss Fanny and you'll find out what life's all about.
10:04Miss Fanny?
10:05Yeah.
10:06The gardener's kid.
10:08Oh, my God.
10:09How the hell was I supposed to know?
10:11Now, you get on with your work.
10:13Yes, Mr. Box.
10:14Now, Miss Fanny.
10:15Now, give me that ball.
10:17Now, you know full well that you ain't allowed down here, don't you?
10:22Now, you...
10:23You come along with me.
10:25Now that I am here, at least you could tell me something about it.
10:30Well, like what?
10:33Well, what exactly is it?
10:36Well, you could call it a place of entertainment for gentlemen.
10:42Or the highest quality, mind you.
10:45You know what, Miss Fanny?
10:47You're treading in the footsteps of lords and earls.
10:52Now, come along.
10:55But what do they do down here?
10:59Well, now, come evening, oh, it ain't quite like it is now.
11:06Oh, no, no.
11:07Now, there's music what plays and pretty ladies what sings.
11:13Oh, Miss Fanny, it's a proper treat, a proper treat.
11:16But, but, very, very private, eh?
11:24Now, now, you come along with me.
11:29And you come along with me, you come along with me.
11:32Where's that going to?
11:36Questions, questions.
11:38Well, now.
11:39Seeing as you're seen down here.
11:42Alright.
11:44Up you go.
11:50Come on now.
11:57Where are we?
11:58Well, this is the governor's office.
12:02You're inside the warrior now.
12:05All my life I've lived upstairs, and yet I've never seen him inside the warrior.
12:11I know Papa owns it, but he never ever talks about it.
12:16Well, no, Mr. Otwood, I expect he thought you were too young to worry your pretty head about such things.
12:24But, well, seeing as no one comes in here for seven, and seeing as you're here now.
12:32Well, let's have a look. In you go.
12:41Oh, it's lovely.
12:43Yeah.
12:46Yeah, it's the best one public I ever knew.
12:50Men only, mind.
12:52The governor's very strict.
12:54No loose women allowed.
12:56Loose women?
12:58Oh, you mean women that serve?
13:00I mean, women what tries to use their charms to make men part with their hard-earned money.
13:06Now, they ain't very nice, Miss Fanny.
13:09They ain't very nice.
13:11At least ways most of them aren't.
13:15Still, good creatures, though.
13:18Aye.
13:18Oh, yeah.
13:22Yeah, of course.
13:23Of course.
13:24And what do you do down here?
13:26Me?
13:27Oh, I guard the door.
13:31What's that?
13:33Oh, that's the pulpit.
13:36Mr. Otwood, he sits up there so he can keep an eye on things.
13:39And Mr. Bellicott, he's the cashier.
13:42He sits down there and he takes all the money.
13:45Can I go up?
13:46Yeah, yeah, if you like.
13:56Proper king of the castle, aren't we, Miss Fanny?
13:59Queen, Chunks.
14:00Queen.
14:01Oh, yeah, yeah.
14:03Oh, I humbly beg your majesty's pardon.
14:11And I shall be second only to the ambassador himself.
14:15It's an excellent appointment.
14:16And quite unexpected.
14:18I'm so pleased for you.
14:25Well, Mr. Hopwood, how long do you think?
14:28I'm afraid I really don't know.
14:29Pretty, I'd like to have seen him again.
14:34When do you leave for Paris?
14:36Tomorrow.
14:37So soon?
14:37Yes.
14:38And her ladyship.
14:40Uh, well, not to be coming with me.
14:42Oh, she'll come to stay, of course, when it suits, but, uh...
14:45Lady Alicia is not enamored of the French.
14:49To put it bluntly, she cannot abide them.
14:52I'm sorry.
14:52Oh, nothing to be sorry about.
14:55She's entitled to her likes and dislikes, as we all are.
14:58I meant that I was sorry that she did not feel that it was a woman's place to be with her husband.
15:04Ah, well, yes.
15:11And Mr. Hopwood, your marriage is still a happy one.
15:15He's a good man.
15:17And a good husband.
15:18Fanny and me, we've never lacked for nothing.
15:20Best manservant I ever had.
15:22He was bound to do well.
15:24But what of little Fanny?
15:25Oh, not so little anymore.
15:27But Marlboro, you'd never guess.
15:29A little less noise, darling.
15:32Now, come here and say, how do you do to Mr. Seymour?
15:37How do you do, sir?
15:41Well, well.
15:44I don't suppose you remember me at all?
15:47No, sir.
15:50She's going to do you credit, Mrs. Hopwood.
15:52I hope she behaves as well as she looks.
15:55Oh, what few complaints.
15:57Though she's apt to dawdle on the streets or go exploring.
16:00Oh, really?
16:02So you want to see around the next corner, do you, Fanny?
16:05Well, perhaps when you're bigger, you'll be able to.
16:09Travel is a pleasure.
16:11But the best part is coming home.
16:17I'm afraid I must go.
16:19When I get back from France, I'll call again.
16:21That's something we shall both look forward to.
16:24Good.
16:25Oh.
16:28I nearly forgot.
16:32A little present for Fanny.
16:40It's beautiful.
16:44Look, darling, look at this lovely brooch.
16:47But it's far too fine.
16:51Nonsense.
16:53It's hers by rights, for the sake of the colour alone.
16:57Please keep it for her.
17:00And on her 17th birthday, let her wear it and think for a moment of the man who gave it to her.
17:08Lise, thank you, John.
17:09I don't know what to say.
17:13Lamar is right.
17:14It is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
17:17It's enough that you like it, my dear.
17:19Let your mother keep it safe.
17:21And mind you, always love her and care for her.
17:26Goodbye, Mrs. Hopwood.
17:27Please remember me to your husband.
17:29Goodbye, Mr. Seymour.
17:31Oh, I'll see myself, darling.
17:32Mama.
17:43When did I ever see him before?
17:45Who is Mr. Seymour?
17:48He's just a gentleman whom both your father and I have known for many years.
17:53He's been abroad for some time and therefore has not been to see us before.
17:57Now then, when he came bursting in, you said I'd never guess.
17:59Well, what would I never guess?
18:01Oh, Mama, I started quite excited.
18:03Mm-hmm.
18:04You see, I came home by my handsome passage and my boy was out and steps into the basement and the door was open.
18:10You didn't go in?
18:11Yes, of course.
18:13I only went to peep, but there was this strange old woman cleaning and she took me by surprise and said things I didn't understand.
18:20And then Chunks came and took me away.
18:22Took you? Where did he take you?
18:23It was a mystery tour.
18:25First, we went up some winding stairs to Papa's office.
18:28Then he showed me the warrior.
18:30Oh, Mama, it's quite splendid.
18:32Chunks said Papa wrote everything, even the place below.
18:36He said it was a place of entertainment for gentlemen.
18:39But I don't think he told me everything.
18:41He told you quite enough, child.
18:44In fact, far too much.
18:47Now, listen here, Fanny.
18:49Your father keeps his business to himself, so it's best you make no mention of this.
18:54He might be displeased and he wouldn't want him to be angry with Mr Box, would you?
18:57Oh, no!
18:59Then we'll say no more about it.
19:01Now, give me that brooch and I'll put it away for you.
19:03Oh, couldn't I keep it?
19:06You heard what Mr Seymour said.
19:08You're to have it when you're 17.
19:11Oh, it's so very, very beautiful.
19:15Oh, come on, Fanny.
19:18Help me.
19:18What is it?
19:22Oh, Annie.
19:24What a beautiful brooch.
19:29It's just like the colour of the sea.
19:31Oh, Fanny, you've never ever seen the sea.
19:34No, but it's the colour I believe the sea should be.
19:37You think so, don't you, Mama?
19:39Yes, a calm September sea.
19:42Well, there you are, Lucy.
19:43You see, Mama says so.
19:45May I?
19:50Really is beautiful.
19:55Are those real diamonds?
19:57Yes.
19:58Are they?
19:59Well upon my word.
20:02You are lucky.
20:04But then one day I shall have lots of diamonds.
20:07Hundreds of them.
20:08I do believe she means it.
20:10And who's going to give you all these diamonds, my girl?
20:13Oh, lords.
20:15Dukes.
20:17Foreign potentates.
20:19I don't mind.
20:20Oh, dear.
20:38I don't hide, Charles.
20:52I was out of town.
20:59Family business?
21:04Yes, I could describe it.
21:07My father refuses to die.
21:10I thought a visit from his son might speed him on his way.
21:12I was wrong.
21:16He clings to life like a damn limpet.
21:19It's out of sheer malice towards me, I suspect.
21:22God, you are a cold fish, Jerry.
21:24Not at all.
21:25I'm really being practical.
21:27The only bond between us has been one of mutual dislike.
21:29Well, he's had a good run for his money.
21:34Now, it's my turn.
21:37Well, at least you've got expectations.
21:42I've got nothing to inherit.
21:43Well, there'll be the estate, surely.
21:47Mortgage to the hilt.
21:49My old governor's not a life I can only envy.
21:52No,
21:54cupboard's bare, old boy.
21:56Oh, come along, man.
21:57You get an allowance.
21:58I've heard you mention it.
21:59Only in times of utter desperation.
22:01It's a pittance.
22:03Barely covers my mask bills.
22:05More fool you to choose a cavalry regiment.
22:09Well,
22:11there are some compensations.
22:14Cavalry officers do have a
22:15certain fascination with the ladies.
22:21Yes, and I've no doubt that you're resolutely trying to prove
22:24that man can live by oats alone.
22:29You've been to Hades lately.
22:31I most certainly have, by Jove.
22:34I've, uh,
22:35seen one or two things.
22:39What a damn clever chap, Hopper.
22:41What?
22:43You mean to say you admire that wretch?
22:45Certainly.
22:46He's utterly discreet.
22:47Not even the police suspect.
22:50If they do, he's got them in his pocket.
22:52What will?
22:54Well, there's one born every minute.
22:56What do you mean?
22:57Look, if you forget the excellent service and the spurious diversions,
23:02what are you left with?
23:03A bordello.
23:05Hopwood's no more than a publican who runs a brothel in his cellars.
23:08That's as may be.
23:10All I'm saying is that Hopwood runs a first-class establishment
23:13and nobody breaks his rules.
23:16Rules were made for the obedience of fools
23:18and the guidance of wise men.
23:22Oh, indeed.
23:23Well, you just try taking one of your child prostitutes into Hades
23:27and see how far you get.
23:28I wouldn't advise it, Jerry.
23:42Wouldn't you?
23:43Then I shall.
23:45You care to bet on it?
23:48As you wish.
23:49A hundred guineas a side.
23:56Of course, if you can't afford it.
24:04You're on.
24:06But I warn you, Jerry.
24:08I'll be there
24:09to see fair play.
24:13And I won't acknowledge you when it happens.
24:16My dear Charles,
24:17you're more of a fool than I took you for.
24:19Your whoremonger won't take issue with me.
24:52What are you doing?
24:55A duke!
24:57Violence for the duke!
24:59Gentlemen,
25:00it lacks 16 minutes to midnight.
25:03Another pleasant evening.
25:05I thank you for your company.
25:08Those of you who wish a final glass,
25:10please order now.
25:12I leave you in the care of our good friend Chunks
25:14and Mr. Velocco.
25:15Good night, gentlemen.
25:18Good night, you.
25:19Good night, sir.
25:29Now, gentlemen, you over the governor's here, eh?
25:31Yes.
25:33At ease, Sergeant Crundle.
25:35At ease.
25:37All well below?
25:38Yes, sir.
25:39Orchestras arrived, staff on the toes, sir.
25:41And the young ladies?
25:42All present and correct, sir,
25:43except for Miss Mabel.
25:44And why is Miss Mabel not present and correct?
25:49Not sure, sir.
25:49She sent a note with Miss Polly
25:51making them excuses.
25:53Not good enough.
25:55We shall have to find a replacement for Miss Mabel.
25:58Just as you say, sir.
25:59Will you carry out your inspection now, Mr. Velocco?
26:01If you please, Mr. Velocco?
26:48Excellent, excellent.
26:55Miss Polly.
27:13Right, Sergeant Crundall, I shall go up and close the warrior now.
27:17Mr Box will join you directly.
27:22No Crundall.
27:24We open on the stroke of midnight.
27:26There are yet three minutes.
27:28Sir.
27:30Come in.
27:45Thank you, Mr Velicott.
27:50Fair evening by the look of this.
27:56Chunks, kindly see Mr Velicott off the premises and lock up behind him.
28:02Mr Officer.
28:07Thank you, Mr Velicott.
28:10I'll just make sure that all secure, sir.
28:13Then I'll keep it up.
28:14I shall be here if you need me.
28:16Thank you, Mr Velicott.
28:19Thank you, Mr. Velicott.
28:35Nothing but splendor and feminine gender, there you go.
28:52All that white flesh, damn constricting on a fellow's britches.
28:57Charles?
28:58Hmm?
28:59You're in a dream, dear chap.
29:06I've seen it all before.
29:09Something on your mind?
29:12You might say so, yes.
29:15Gerry Manderstoke, to be precise.
29:18Gerry?
29:19Good Lord.
29:20He's the worst nuisance at Bismarck.
29:23What's between you?
29:26A hundred guineas a side.
29:28I see.
29:30Does it happen here?
29:33If it happens, yes.
29:36One of the reasons I wanted you along, Freddie, witness to the deed.
29:41There's no need to be alarmed.
29:43We merely observe from a distance.
29:46Good.
29:48Very nice.
29:49Very nice.
29:50It's very nice.
29:51You're welcome to the stage.
30:23Oh, good evening, my lord.
30:35Thank you very much, sir.
30:37It's a long time since we had the honours, my lord.
30:43My god.
30:45Something wrong.
30:47Young lady, my lord.
30:49My companion, what about her?
30:52She's underage.
30:53I mean, she's not allowed in here. It's more than our job's worth.
30:56Come along. You're both men of the world.
30:59I know Mr. Hopwood's rule.
31:00But the plain fact of the matter is that I've made a wage with Captain Tennant.
31:04I shall be very sorry to lose it.
31:06Ten minutes and we shall be gone. There'll be no trouble.
31:08Here.
31:10Divide this between the two of you.
31:13Come, Clarissa, my dear.
31:14Do we fetch Mr. Hopwood?
31:22We only call the governor in cases of emergency.
31:24That's the rule.
31:26We could hardly call this an emergency.
31:28Still.
31:29Not a second of more than ten minutes.
31:32Well, he ain't no lord.
31:34He's a...
31:35He's a gutter snipe.
31:38Here.
31:40It's a surprise.
31:45It's a child.
31:49Ha-ha.
31:50And bring a bottle of brandy.
32:02Damn rogue.
32:05Looks as though he's managed it.
32:08Does Hopwood know?
32:11Ah.
32:12Now that remains to be seen.
32:20Fanny, I thought I heard you pacing about.
32:31Why aren't you in bed?
32:32I don't know, Mama.
32:34I couldn't sleep.
32:35My mind kept turning.
32:38Well, there's so much doing in the world.
32:40I'm 17 and I've seen nothing of life.
32:43As impatient as ever.
32:45You'll come to womanhood soon enough.
32:48But I'm a woman now.
32:50No, in many ways, you're still a child.
32:57Perhaps that's my fault, keeping you tied to the home.
33:01Oh, dear.
33:03Do I sound so ungrateful?
33:05I don't mean to be.
33:08Now, listen to me, Fanny.
33:10A woman has a role to play in life.
33:13It's her destiny to be married to a man and bear him children.
33:17Now, this can bring great joy and happiness,
33:21but it can also bring pain and grief.
33:25I just want to protect you.
33:28I know you do, Mama.
33:31Good.
33:33Now, go back to bed.
33:34Good night.
33:35Good night.
33:46Good night.
33:47Drink it!
34:06I said drink it, you obscene sprite.
34:10You girls!
34:12Come back here, you little bitch!
34:15Drink up, get up!
34:17Come on, my lord, you must be on your way.
34:30Come here, my lord.
34:31Come on, please!
34:40Come on, my lord.
34:41Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
34:44What the devil's going on to hell?
34:47Come on, come on, come on.
34:50Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
34:51Good evening, my lord.
34:52Can I be of any assistance?
34:57Jerk!
34:57why is that child in here he brought in ten minutes instead why'd you with a
35:07friendly he swore there would be no trouble you're the one who's supposed to know the rules
35:13i suppose he bribed you both well he's a neighbor governor
35:17no i didn't think it was no emergency it was an emergency

37:31i can't see any of our friends going out of their way to see any of our friends
37:34so i shall let sleeping dogs lie

48:55Sir? Please help me, sir. My mother's...
49:10William Hopwood.
49:12The jury find you not guilty of the murder of the child prostitute Emma Riddle.
49:18On the second charge of keeping a brothel and living off the immoral earnings of women...
49:25...you are found guilty.
49:31You and your kind shall be sent to the gallows.
49:34Unfortunately, I can only inflict the maximum penalty allowed by law.
49:41William Hopwood.
49:43I sentence you to seven years penal servitude.
49:50I'm only sorry I was not allowed to appear.
49:53If I'd been back in England soon, perhaps.
49:56How did he take the sentence?
49:59Oh, he was quite shocked and bewildered for a man.
50:03I wanted to be there. You wouldn't even let me visit him.
50:06He didn't want you to suffer any part of his ordeal, and he was right.
50:10He wanted to protect you with family.
50:12And what of all his fine friends?
50:15Why didn't any of them come forward to speak up for him?
50:18His clientele, being men of rank and privilege, were not going to compromise themselves in a court of law on his account.
50:26Your husband always knew that.
50:29Yes.
50:30Of course the whole situation was greatly worsened by the newspapers.
50:33But they who stirred up the scandal, roused the rabble.
50:36The poor warrior.
50:38We could see the flames from here when they burned it.
50:43That was not all they burned.
50:49Mr. Hopwood mistrusted banks, you see.
50:52I'm afraid that whatever the looters failed to find was destroyed in the fire.
50:57Do you mean there's no money at all?
51:02None.
51:04I'm sorry.
51:07I'm sure that what I propose will be for the best.
51:11Now I must speak to Fanny.
51:13Yes.
51:16Fanny, will you please come in?
51:19How do you do, Fanny?
51:28Come, find me, will you?
51:37Well, since you're now nearly 18 I shall treat you as a grown woman and come straight to the point.
51:43I think your mother should leave London as soon as possible
51:48and go and live near her family in Yorkshire.
51:51And I want you to help me persuade her to go.
51:55I have never visited the country.
51:58I'm sure we will be happy.
52:00Yes, my darling.
52:02I'm sure we would be happy but that...
52:04Let me explain.
52:07The reason for your mother's distress is that she would have to be separated from you.
52:12Well, at any rate, for a while.
52:15You see, she now has...
52:18Well, very little money.
52:20And you must begin to make your own living.
52:23This would be difficult on a small farm in Yorkshire but...
52:28I can help him make a start.
52:31Here, in London.
52:34Mr. Seymour is right, Mama.
52:37We will do exactly as he says.
52:39You must go to Yorkshire and I must make my way here in London.
52:42It's always unpleasant to be connected with the public scandal, then.
52:43To be labelled Hopkins at this time will only invite vulgar intrusion, but worse.
52:44Now, your mother's maiden names...
52:45You must go to Yorkshire and I must make my way here in London.
52:47It's always unpleasant to be connected with the public scandal, then.
52:48To be labelled Hopkins at this time will only invite vulgar intrusion, but worse.
52:52Now, your mother's maiden name is Hooper.
52:53Therefore, I suggest you become Fanny Hooper, until we see how things turn out.
52:55To be labelled Hopkins at this time will only invite vulgar intrusion, but worse.
53:00Now, your mother's maiden name is Hooper.
53:02Therefore, I suggest you become Fanny Hooper, until we see how things turn out.
53:05To be labelled Hopkins at this time will only invite vulgar intrusion, but worse.
53:12Now, your mother's maiden name is Hooper.
53:15Therefore, I suggest you become Fanny Hooper, until we see how things turn out.
53:35There we are, Miss Fanny.
53:36Give me your hand.
53:37Thank you, Trunks.
53:38There we are, Miss Fanny.
53:39Give me your hand.
53:40Thank you, Trunks.
53:41There we are, Miss Fanny.
53:42Give me your hand down with that trunk.
53:43I'm Fanny Hooper.
53:44Thank you, Trunks.
53:45There we are, Miss Fanny.
53:46There we are, Miss Fanny.
53:51Give me your hand.
53:52Thank you, Trunks.
53:53Gabby.
53:54Give me your hand down with that trunk.
53:55Thank you, Trunks.
53:56Gabby.
53:57Give me your hand down with that trunk.
54:00I'm Fanny Hooper.
54:13Mr. Seymour sent for me.
54:30You're you.
54:31You're me.
54:34You're coming down with that trunk.
54:40I'm tugging toward the trunk.
54:46I'm a noire.
54:47Thank you, Trunks.
54:50Sorry, Trunks.
54:53I'm petit.
54:58I'm happy to hear that trunk.
