00:00VIOLIN PLAYS
00:30Morning. Morning Mr Lightwood. Mr Boffin's with me. Mr Boffin. Ah Mr Boffin. Good morning.
00:44You seem somewhat tired sir. What? Oh yes a busy night. We have an appointment I believe.
00:53Yes a very busy night. The man who pulled John Harmon's body from the river. Hexen.
01:00Gapper Hexen is dead. Dead? Yes we pulled him from the river last night.
01:06The ten thousand pounds reward you offered for the apprehension of Harmon's murderer
01:10brought an accusation against Hexen. We were at the river to apprehend him. He eluded us.
01:17Ah drowned himself. No an accident. So that case rests as you might say.
01:23Do you believe Hexen guilty?
01:26Well then I'm now in a position to give you final details of your fortune.
01:30Oh it's hardly the moment to discuss my fortune.
01:33What?
01:34So much death about.
01:35In the midst of life.
01:37Following upon the sad death by drowning of John Harmon the Harmon estate now passes to you in its entirety.
01:43All forms of law now having been complied with.
01:45So my dear Mr Boffin.
01:47I congratulate you on coming into possession of upwards of one hundred thousand pounds.
01:53Oh I don't know what to say about it I'm sure.
01:55It involves no trouble Mr Boffin.
01:57There are no estates to manage.
01:58No agents to take the cream off the milk before it comes to the table.
02:02You could put the hole in a cash box tomorrow morning and take it with you to say the Rocky Mountains.
02:09Inasmuch as every man appears to be under a fatal spell which obliges him sooner or later to mention the Rocky Mountains in a tone of extreme familiarity to some other man.
02:19I hope you'll excuse my pressing you into the service of that range of geographical bores.
02:24It's a great lot to take care of.
02:26My dear Mr Boffin then don't take care of it.
02:28Eh?
02:29If it weighs upon your mind you can easily make it less.
02:32And I do assure you there are many people who'd be happy to take the trouble off your hands.
02:36That is not very satisfactory Mr Lightwood.
02:40Is anything satisfactory Mr Boffin?
02:42Oh I found life pretty satisfactory when I was just a dustman.
02:47I think it's a pity the old man made so much money.
02:50Never did him no good.
02:52Turned away his only son.
02:55Him dead before it can help him.
02:57Drowned.
02:59Last time I saw him he was a little boy of seven years.
03:03Going away all lonely and forlorn.
03:07Some foreign school.
03:09He come in to have a little warm at our fire you know.
03:12Oh there was a shivering wind.
03:14And I was to take his box down to the steamboat cause that old miser of a father wouldn't dream of allowing sixpence for coach money.
03:23Frozen he was.
03:25My Mrs Boffin hit by the fire and warmed her hands and rubbed his little cheeks with them.
03:31They was both crying.
03:33I won't say but what it cut me.
03:38We never had no children of our own.
03:41We often wish we had.
03:43But after that no, no.
03:46No.
03:48Well we might both die said Mrs Boffin.
03:52And then other strange eyes would see that lonely look on our child.
03:58So overnight when it was very cold or the wind roared or the rain dripped heavy.
04:05She'd wake up sobbing.
04:07She'd call out in a fluster.
04:09Don't you see the poor child's face?
04:13Oh shelter the poor child.
04:16In the course of years gradually wore out as many things do.
04:25My dear Mr Boffin, everything wears to rags.
04:28Oh I wouldn't say everything.
04:31There are some things I never found among the dust.
04:37You belly-ly laugh make cry.
04:52How do you get your wooden leg?
04:57In an accident.
05:00You like it?
05:05Well I haven't got to keep it warm have I?
05:15Did you ever hear the name Boffin?
05:18No.
05:19Do you like it?
05:20No.
05:21Why?
05:22I don't know why I don't but I don't.
05:24You'll be sorry for that.
05:26No I won't.
05:27My name's Boffin.
05:29Well I can't help that and if I could I wouldn't.
05:32Well here's another chance for you.
05:36Do you like the name Nicodemus?
05:39Think about it.
05:41Nick.
05:42Or Noddy.
05:44It's not so the name as I could wish anyone I had respect for to call me by.
05:51Well that's me.
05:53Noddy Boffin.
05:54Oh.
05:55What's your name?
05:56Silas Wigg.
05:57And I don't know why Silas and I don't know why Wigg.
06:01Well Wigg.
06:02Well Wigg.
06:03I'd like to make a sort of offer to you.
06:13Where I live is called the Bower.
06:15Aye.
06:16Boffin's Bower.
06:17Yeah.
06:18I shall expect you Wigg.
06:22Yeah.
06:23He he he he.
06:51Ah.
06:52These ballads.
06:54The first morning I met you.
06:57You was a singing one of these here ballads to the butcher's boy.
07:00Aye.
07:01I listened with admiration amounting to whore.
07:04And I thought me so.
07:06Here is a literary man.
07:08With a wooden leg.
07:10Well.
07:11Not exactly so sir.
07:13A wooden leg.
07:14Yes sir.
07:15And you know all of these songs.
07:17Yes.
07:18By name and by tune.
07:19Yeah.
07:20And if you want to read or sing any one of them off straight.
07:22Yeah.
07:23You won't need to whip on your spectacles and do it.
07:24Now I've seen you at it.
07:25Well.
07:26Ha ha ha.
07:27Well sir.
07:28We saved the tree then.
07:30A literary man.
07:32With a wooden leg.
07:33And all print.
07:34Is shut to me.
07:35Indeed.
07:36Education neglected.
07:37Neglected.
07:38Neglected.
07:39That ain't the word for it.
07:40Mind you.
07:41I wouldn't say that.
07:42If you showed me a bee.
07:43I couldn't say that.
07:44If you showed me a bee.
07:45I couldn't say that.
07:46Yes sir.
07:47I believe you couldn't show me the piece of English print.
07:49I wouldn't be able to colour in and throw in.
07:50On the spot.
07:51On the spot.
07:52I knew it.
07:53Well.
07:54Consider this.
07:55Here am I.
07:56A man without a wooden leg.
07:57And all print.
07:58Is shut to me.
07:59Indeed.
08:00Education neglected.
08:01Neglected.
08:02That ain't the word for it.
08:03Mind you.
08:04I wouldn't say that.
08:05If you showed me a bee.
08:07I couldn't so far give you a chance for it as to answer boffin.
08:10I mean bee for boffin.
08:12I know.
08:13Yes.
08:14It ain't much.
08:15Perhaps it's not as much as could be wished by an inquiring mind sir.
08:19Now look here.
08:20I'm retired from business.
08:22Me and Mrs. Boffin.
08:23We live on a competence under the will of a diseased governor.
08:26A gentleman dead sir.
08:28Well a man alive ain't.
08:30I just told you.
08:31A diseased governor.
08:32Now it's too late for me to begin shoveling and shifting.
08:36At alphabets.
08:37I'm getting to be an old bird.
08:38I want to take things easy.
08:39But I want some reading.
08:40I want some fine.
08:41Bold reading weck.
08:42I want some splendid gorgian book.
08:43Now.
08:44How do I set about getting that reading weck?
08:45By paying a man truly qualified to do it.
08:46So much an hour.
08:47Say.
08:48Tuppence.
08:49Tuppence apenny.

08:59Tuppence apenny.
09:00Yeah.
09:01Two short'uns is one long'un.
09:02Two two long'uns is four long'uns.

09:09I'm sure.
09:10You have to come and do it.
09:11Oh.
09:12Flattered sir I'm sure.
09:13Hey.
09:14This is the offer you mentioned.
09:15Do you like it?

09:41Yeah.
09:42Ain't much that half a crown.
09:45Per week you know.
09:47Per week yes.
09:48As to the amount of strain upon the intellect now.
09:51Was you thinking at all of poetry?
09:57Would that come dearer?
09:58It would be dearer.
10:00When it comes to a person grinding all poetry.
10:02Night after night.
10:03Well it is but right.
10:05As you expect to be paid for its wearing effect on his mind.
10:09Well to tell you the truth Mr. Wick.
10:11I was not thinking of poetry.
10:13No except insofar as this.
10:15If you was to feel yourself in your mind now and then.
10:18To tip me and Mrs. Boffin one of your ballads.
10:21Why then?
10:22We should fall into poetry.
10:24I follow you sir.
10:25But not being a regular musical professional.
10:27I shall be loath to engage myself with that.
10:29And therefore when I dropped in poetry.
10:31Well I should ask you to consider it as a friend.
10:36That's more than I could have asked.
10:39Yes.
10:40And I thank your kindly for it Mr. Wick.
10:42Yes.
10:43Now what do you think of the terms?
10:44Hey!
10:45I am considering it Mr. Boffin.
10:48I never bargained.
10:49So I should have thought of you.
10:51No sir.
10:52I never did haggle.
10:53And I never will haggle.
10:54Consequently I'll meet you at once.
10:56Free and fair.
10:57With.
10:59Done.
11:00For double the money.
11:04Well you know what it ought to be.
11:06Better than I do.
11:07Yes.
11:09Could you begin tonight?
11:10Yes sir.
11:11I see no difficulty if you wish it.
11:14You are provided with a needful implement.
11:17A book sir.
11:19Bought him in a sale.
11:20Eight volumes.
11:21Red and gold.
11:22Every volume with a purple ribbon to keep the place where you left off.
11:25Do you know him?
11:27The book's name sir.
11:29I thought you might have known him without it.
11:32Well his name is.
11:34Decline and fall off the Russian Empire.
11:39Oh.
11:40Indeed.
11:41Do you know it?
11:42Well I haven't been.
11:43Not to say right slap for him very lately.
11:44Having been other ways employed.
11:45But know him.
11:46Oh.
11:47Old familiar declining and falling off the Russian.
11:48Brother.
11:49Ever since I was not so high as your stick.
11:50Ever since my oldest brother.
11:51Left our cottage to enlist into the army.
11:52On which occasion.
11:53As the ballot that was made about it described.
11:54Beside that cottage.
11:55Mr.
11:56Boffin.
11:57Mr.
11:58Boffin.
11:59A girl.
12:00Was on her knees.
12:01She held a lofty snowy scarf sir.
12:02Which my oldest brother noticed.
12:03Fluttered in the breeze.
12:04She breathed a prayer for him.
12:05Mr.
12:06Boffin.
12:07A prayer he could not hear.
12:08And my oldest brother leaned upon his sword.
12:09Mr.
12:10Boffin.
12:11And wiped away a tear.
12:13I take it very friendly of you Mr.
12:16Wake to drop into poetry so soon.
12:18noticed fluttered in the breeze. she breathed a prayer for him mr. Poffin a
12:24prayer he could not hear. my oldest brother leaned upon his sword mr. Poffin
12:30and wiped away a tear.
12:38I take it very friendly of you mr. Wake to drop into poetry so soon.
12:43name the hour of your arrival. eight. I shall expect your coming most joyfully mr.
12:52Wegg. I shall have no peace nor patience as you come.
12:58print is opening before me. this night a literary man with a wooden leg will begin
13:08to lead me a new life. my fist again. wake. morning. morning morning.
13:23beside the cottage door a girl was on her knees. she held aloft a snowy scarf which
13:32fluttered in the breeze. beside that cottage door a girl was on her knees.
13:41oh yes my love. there's a gentleman here would like to speak to you my love. a mr.
13:47rokesmith. rokesmith? I don't know a rokesmith. is he in the dust?
13:56hello. I know your face. that's right.
14:00I've seen you this morning when I was talking to a literary gentleman at his stall.
14:05know your face. don't know you. no you don't know me sir. I'm a nobody and not likely to be known.
14:11well what do you want with me then?
14:14well mr. boffin you will probably change your manner of living in your changed circumstances.
14:21perhaps keep a larger house. have many matters to arrange. be beset by numbers of correspondence.
14:26if you would try me as your secretary. what? as your secretary.
14:32very queer thing. if you would try me as your man of business under any name
14:36I know that you would find me useful
14:38and I would willingly serve you for any time you may appoint
14:41before money need be considered.
14:44well what do you do for a living?
14:47well I've said that I would like to be your secretary.
14:49I had some other slight intentions which have been superseded.
14:52so now I have to begin life.
14:56well...
14:58will you allow me to call on you in a few days?
15:00I can't expect you to accept me on trust at first sight.
15:04let me come to you again for your further opinion.
15:07that's fair enough.
15:09yes call at boffin's bar in the next week or two.
15:14I shall be pleased to see you.
15:16thank you sir.
15:22ah that will be my husband.
15:28R.W. we're in the parlour and would be pleased for you to join us.
15:31this gentleman R.W. proposes to take your apartment which you wish to let by the quarter.
15:36ah
15:37a quarter's notice on either side.
15:39shall I mention sir the form of a reference?
15:41oh I think that a reference is not necessary and neither to say the truth is it convenient for I am a stranger in London.
15:48I require no reference from you and perhaps therefore you will require none from me.
15:52I think that will be fair on both sides.
15:54indeed I show the greater confidence of the two for I will pay in advance whatever you require.
15:59and I will be leaving my furniture here whereas if you were an embarrassed circumstance
16:06this is merely suppositious.
16:08perfectly.
16:09why then I might lose it.
16:11well money and goods are certainly the best of references.
16:13do you think they are the best part?
16:14among the best my dear.
16:15I should have thought myself it was so easy to add the usual kind of one.
16:18I accept your terms Mr.
16:21Rokesmith.
16:22John Rokesmith.
16:23give me pen and paper Lavin.
16:24I shall write up a simple agreement.
16:26and you should be a witness Bella.
16:48I would like eight sovereigns to seal the bargain Mr. Rokesmith.
16:52yes of course.
16:56and if you will sign here.
17:07where am I to go Pa?
17:08here in this corner.
17:12I'm very much obliged to you Miss Wilfer.
17:14obliged?
17:15I've given you so much trouble.
17:17signing my name.
17:19yes certainly.
17:21but I am your landlord's daughter sir.
17:26well I shall arrange for my furniture to be delivered next Wednesday then Mr. Wilfer.
17:30that will be in order Mr. Rokesmith.
17:31good night.
17:32good night Mr. Rokesmith.
17:33thank you.
17:34something about that young man which isn't quite to my taste.
17:37I certainly don't like him.
17:39well now
17:40back once again to the bosom of my family.
17:44the bosom is agitated R. W.
17:46Pa we've got a murderer for a tenant.
17:49Pa we've got a robber to see him unable for his life to look anyone in the face.
17:53never was such an exhibition.
17:55my dear.
17:56he's a diffident gentleman.
17:57don't you think?
17:58no it's not as I think.
17:59doubly but as you do.
18:00and I should say particularly so in the society of girls of your age.
18:03not since our age.
18:04what's that got to do with him?
18:05besides we're not half the same age.
18:07never you mind love.
18:08you wait until you've an age to ask such questions.
18:14Pa
18:16mark my words.
18:18between Mr. Rokesmith and me there lies a natural antipathy and a deep distrust.
18:22and something will come of it.
18:23my dear girls
18:25between Mr. Rokesmith and me there is a matter of eight sovereigns
18:28and something for supper shall come of it
18:30if you'll agree upon the article.
18:32these sovereigns come just in time.
18:34I hate and detest being poor.
18:36but tonight we shall have a bottle of scotch ale and a rum.
18:39my dear
18:40while I am out buying us some cutlets
18:42perhaps you will prepare some boiling water and lemon peel.
18:45I shall also prepare the frying pan
18:47if we really are going to have veal cutlets.
18:51ready love to?
18:52yes love.
18:53time we were off.
18:55I feel quite nervous at the thought of meeting poor John Howman's intended.
19:07I hope she likes her snotty.
19:09nobody could help like him you love.
19:18ah
19:19when all Mr. Armour made such a fool of me
19:21not to mention himself as he's dead
19:23what do you suppose he did it for?
19:25impossible to say my dear.
19:27as I've told you times out of number since his will was brought to light.
19:30I doubt if I ever exchanged a hundred words with the old gentleman.
19:34poor Bella.
19:35poor indeed.
19:36here in this ridiculous black dress which I hate.
19:39a kind of widow who was never married.
19:41to be left in a will to a man I never seen.
19:44why did Mr. Armour have to choose me of all people?
19:46why did he have to tie me up to his son?
19:48it's ridiculous.
19:50a stranger coming over to marry me whether he likes me or not.
19:52he didn't have to marry you my love.
19:54he could have said no.
19:55if he'd said no to me he wouldn't have got the money.
19:57well he's dead now so you haven't got either money or husband.
20:00it's all so ridiculous.
20:02I could never have liked him.
20:04talk of orange flowers indeed.
20:06mind you the money would have smoothed it all out.
20:10money.
20:11I want money.
20:12I want it desperately.
20:13I hate to be poor and we are degradingly poor.
20:17miserably poor.
20:18beastly poor.
20:19so here I am.
20:21with all the ridiculous parts of the situation remaining.
20:24and added to them all this ridiculous dress.
20:29see who it is.
20:31where's that Mr. and Mrs. Boffin?
20:39oh the golden dustman.
20:42bring them down here Lavinia.
20:45at a leisurely pace.
20:47pray be seated.
21:05pardon me to what am I indebted for this honor?
21:08well ma'am to make it shorter.
21:11perhaps you may be acquainted with the names of me and Mrs. Boffin
21:15as having come into a certain property.
21:19I have heard of such being the case.
21:21yes and I dare say
21:23you're not very inclined to take kindly to us.
21:26oh pardon me to an unjust visit upon Mr. and Mrs. Boffin
21:29a calamity which was doubtless a dispensation.
21:32that's fairly said I'm sure.
21:35well now me and Mrs. Boffin we're plain people.
21:39consequently we make this call to say
21:42we would be rejoiced
21:44if your daughter would come to consider our ass in the light
21:47of her own home equally with this.
21:50in short we want to cheer your daughter
21:53and give her the opportunity of sharing such pleasures
21:56as we are going to take ourselves.
21:59we want to brisk her up and brisk her apart
22:02and give her a change.
22:04yeah that's it.
22:06lol let's be comfortable
22:09upon me I have several daughters
22:11which of my daughters my to understand is thus favored
22:14by the kind intentions of Mr. Boffin and his lady.
22:17don't you see naturally Miss Bella
22:21because if she had married John Harmon as intended
22:24she would have had it all
22:26not just what we are offering.
22:28my daughter Bella is accessible and shall speak for herself.
22:38send my daughter Bella to me.
22:47pleasant premises you have here.
22:49it is the abode of conscious though independent poverty sir.
22:57oh beautiful.
22:59let's go.
23:00let's go.
23:01let's go.
23:02let's go.
23:03Missy, Missy, whizzy.
23:26What's the news out of doors?
23:28What's the news indoors?
23:29But I am very glad to see you home.
23:33Oh, this is the best time of the day and night.
24:00I'm so grateful to you for letting me come to live here.
24:03I've been thinking as I sat at work today what a thing it would be if I could have your company till I married.
24:11At least till I courted.
24:14And when I'm courted I shall make him do some of the things that you do for me.
24:19Mind you, he can brush my hair like you do.
24:24He can help me up the stairs like you do.
24:27He couldn't do anything quite like you do.
24:31But he can carry on my work and he can call for orders in his clumsy way.
24:37And he shall too.
24:38I think I'm rather hard on them.
24:40Not a bit.
24:40They don't care for you, those fellows, if you're not hard on them.
24:49As I was saying, if I could have your company.
24:52It's a large effort, isn't it?
24:57I have no intention of parting company, Jenny.
25:00Yeah.
25:01Yeah.
25:02Who comes here?
25:03A grenadier.
25:04What does he want?
25:05A pot of beer.
25:06Mr. Eugene Rayburn, isn't it?
25:14So I'm told.
25:16You may come in if you're good.
25:18I'm not good.
25:19But I'll come in.
25:21I was strolling here.
25:22Thought I'd come and see how you are.
25:25Miss Hexham.
25:29I propose
25:31to be of use to someone.
25:34I propose
25:36to engage a teacher for you
25:37to help you to an education
25:39like you've helped your brother, Charles.
25:44You will not refuse me, Miss Hexham.
25:47I hope I've not distressed you.
25:51Please.
25:52Don't disappoint me, Miss Hexham.
25:53You mustn't let false pride lose you an opportunity.
25:56False pride, Mr. Rayburn?
25:57It does wrong to you
25:58and to your dead father.
26:01Well, to my father.
26:01Can you ask?
26:02By perpetuating the consequences
26:04of his blind ignorance.
26:11I hate to claim to mean well
26:13but I really do
26:15mean honestly and simply
26:16well.
26:18I want you to know it.
26:20I've never doubted that, Mr. Rayburn.
26:22Then you accept my offer.
26:23I don't know that I should.
26:24I should like you to think about it
26:25and I shall come again for your answer.
26:28Very well, Mr. Rayburn.
26:29I'm thinking of buying a doll, Miss Jenny.
26:42I should not if I was you.
26:45Why not?
26:45You're sure to break it?
26:49All you children do.
26:51But that makes good for trade, you know, Miss Rayburn.
26:54Much as people's breaking promises
26:56and contracts and bargains of all sorts
26:58makes good for my trade as a lawyer.
27:01Why, if we were all as industrious as you are
27:03working since you could grow a little busybody,
27:06that would be a bad thing.
27:07Do you mean bad for our backs
27:11and bad for our legs?
27:12No, no, no.
27:12I wasn't referring to any infirmity.
27:16I mean...
27:18No, I didn't.
27:20I meant bad for business.
27:22Bad for business.
27:25If we all set to work
27:26as soon as we could use our hands
27:28it would be all over
27:29with the doll's dressmakers.
27:32There's something in that.
27:37You have a kind of idea
27:39in your noddle sometimes.
27:43Poor fun you must think me, Mr Rayburn.
27:45Well, I won't detain you any longer.
27:47That is to say, Miss Wren,
27:48you wish me to go.
27:54Ah, you have a visitor.
27:56A gentleman from a foreign land, I think.
27:59Mr Aeron, if I'm not mistaken.
28:00Shall I let him in?
28:01Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
28:02Come in, come in.
28:04Come in.
28:05And how is my little dressmaker
28:09for little people?
28:11Oh, my dear friend,
28:12what have you brought for me tonight?
28:14What have I brought you?
28:17An evening cloak
28:18for your opera doll, perhaps?
28:21Or a waistcoat
28:23for your fine gentleman on the shelf?
28:26Or a dress
28:29for your bride?
28:32Yes?
28:33Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
28:35Beautiful.
28:36Beautiful.
28:36Oh, my God.
29:06Now, what's this?
29:14Who that could be?
29:16Ah, thank you.
29:19Bella, my lover.
29:21It's Mr. Rokesmith.
29:23Ah, mutual friend.
29:26Come in, sir. Come in.
29:28Sit down.
29:31You find me rather unprepared to see you.
29:35I've been so busy with one thing and another.
29:40I've not had time to think over your offer.
29:44And that's an apology from me as well.
29:47Lord, we can talk it over now, can't us?
29:50Let me see.
29:50It was secretary you named.
29:53Yes, I said secretary.
29:55That rather puzzled us at the time because we've always understood a secretary to be a piece of furniture, mainly of bargaining.
30:01Oh, yes.
30:02In line with green baize or leather with a lot of little drawers.
30:06You certainly ain't that.
30:07No, I use the word in the sense of a steward.
30:11Steward.
30:12Oh, we're bad sailors.
30:14We don't get to see very often.
30:15No, no.
30:16A sort of manager.
30:17Oh, well, if you joined my employ, then what exactly would you do?
30:24Well, I could keep exact accounts of all your expenditure, write letters under your direction, transact your business, arrange your papers so as to have them always in order for immediate reference.
30:36I'll tell you what.
30:38You sit about these here present papers and you see what you can make of them.
30:43Then perhaps I shall know better what I can make of you.
30:48There we go.
30:55I tell you, my dearie, if you don't close with Mr. Oaksmith now at once, and if you ever go muddling yourself again with things never meant nor made for you,
31:05you'll have an apoplexy and break my hearts.
31:09Ha, ha, that clinches it, Mr. Oaksmith.
31:12We are in business.
31:16And to begin with, we'll set about it right away.
31:20That's right, Naughty.
31:22We are going in neck and crop for fashion, Mr. Oaksmith.
31:28And to start with, we're going to buy a house.
31:30That's right, Mr. Oaksmith.
31:32A big house with two halls, a fronten and a backen, besides the servants.
31:38Oaksmith ought to be a spanker, a real spanker.
31:41But we can discuss that later.
31:43First of all, I'd better show you your way round this place.
31:46Yes, certainly.
31:47Oh, regard in my literary gentleman with the wooden leg.
32:00He might feel slighted at my employing you as the Seer Secretary.
32:05I shall have to cast about the ways of means of whatever else in his jealousy.
32:09This is where the old man died.
32:22And here we found his will.
32:26The house has been kept like this, Oaksmith, against the son's return.
32:31When he came back to this house for the last time in his life,
32:36and for the last time in his life, saw his father,
32:40it was most likely in this room they met.
32:44Ah, there's another stairway leading down into the yard.
32:48Well, go that way.
32:49You may want to see it.
32:50When John Harmon was a little boy,
33:07he was up and down these stairs.
33:10He came and went to his father.
33:12He was very timid of his father.
33:16Many a time I've seen him in his shy way,
33:18sitting on these stairs.
33:20We and Mrs. Boffin have often comforted him
33:24sit in with his little book on these stairs.
33:29And that's the place on the wall
33:31where one day we measured his height.
33:34With his own little hand he wrote his name up.
33:39The name is here still.
33:42The poor dear gone forever.
33:46Ah, we must take care of that name, old lady.
33:48See, it won't be rubbed out in our time.
33:52Poor little lad.
33:58And so, to business.
34:02A dust business.
34:04From which old Armand made his fortune.
34:06I can price those bands
34:09to a fraction.
34:10I can price those bands to a fraction.
34:36LAUGHTER
34:37I can price those bands to be miałby.
34:41All the bears are gay.
34:42I can price those bands
34:43of his own boy.
34:45It's a свет or attributes of Ổe.
34:45Sounds happy to be虹這麼 łyby.
34:46in the comments.
34:47And so, to the snow.
34:48Where are you?
34:49Nothing else我方
34:50could use whole signs in the spring.
34:50Clearly
34:50We must bat that.
34:51Without him Honey.
34:52You must get rid of it.
34:58So, to the can万inyree.
34:59You must be gameplayed out of us.

41:45i regard his course as quite plain before him you see mr redstone it's better for me not to come
41:52too often to see charlie well i don't want to come between him and his prospects so i'll come
41:57only when he asks me don't you think that's right mr redstone well your brother your brother
42:03is very much occupied you know he has to work hard the less his attention is diverted from his work

43:08headstone with me hey i'm going out now
43:12yes i'm going to see a customer
43:29how did you come to meet that little witch by chance it seemed at first charlie
43:33do you remember that terrible drunken old man that jumped in the river for a quarter of run
43:46and drowned there and father pulled him out well she's his grandchild and her father's as bad as her
43:53granddad a weak trembling wretched creature never sober she's been surrounded by drunken people since
43:59her cradle if she ever had one charlie i don't see what you have to do with her for all that that's
44:05a sort of compensation
44:09a restitution
44:13the river
44:16father's grave why can't we let bygones be bygones what we've got to do is turn our faces full in a
44:22new direction and never look back no not even to try
44:27to make amends
44:32you're such a dreamer liz i don't want to have to shake you off as i go up in the world
44:37i want to take you with me that's what i want and that's what i shall do
44:41i said to mr headstone out there i said after all it's my sister who's got me where i am i tried
44:46to help well don't pull me back now i don't live here selfishly charlie
44:52i should like i should like to get right away from the river well the further you get away from
44:58it the better for me i've done it why not you i think i can't get away from it that is
45:05it seems i'm not meant to there you go again this dreaming
45:17truly i mean to be a good brother to you to prove that i know what i owe you
45:22all i can say is i i hope you control your fancies a little on my account
45:27i'll get a school and then you must come and live with me and you'll have to control your fancies
45:31then so why not now say i haven't vexed you oh you haven't charlie you haven't and i haven't hurt you
45:40you haven't charlie say you're sure i didn't mean to hurt you well there's mr redstone
45:46anything it's time to go kiss me and tell me you're sure i didn't mean to you didn't mean to charlie
45:55i uh i'm ready to go now sir
46:03good night miss hexon good night mr redstone
46:06i think i'll sit for a minute hexon
46:36i suppose your sister has received hardly any teaching hardly any sir yeah your father's
46:48objections no doubt i remember them in your case and yet she scarcely looks or speaks like an ignorant
46:56person well lizzie has as much thought as the best of us mr redstone i used to call the fire at home
47:01her books because she was always full of fancies quite wise fancies considering when she sat looking
47:07at it i don't like that fantasies i don't like that i've never brought myself to mention this to
47:13you openly mr redstone but if i get on as well as you hope i won't say i should be disgraced by my
47:21sister because i don't mean disgraced but rather put to the blush by her i mean she's been very good to
47:29me yes and there is this possibility to consider some man who had risen from the bottom might come
47:37to admire your sister and might even in time bring himself to think of marrying your sister and it
47:42would be a sad drawback and a heavy penalty upon inequalities of condition if this inequality of
47:48education remained well that's much my own meaning sir aye aye but spoke as a mere brother now the case
47:54i have supposed will be a much stronger case because an admirer the husband would form the
48:00connection voluntarily besides being obliged to proclaim it which a brother is not after all you
48:06know it must be said of you that you could not help yourself while it will be said of him with equal
48:11reason that he could
48:32who's that it's that rayburn one i beg your pardon mr redstone i kind of wonder what brings him here
48:42you don't appear to like your friend hexon i don't like him why not he took hold of me by the chin in a
48:49very impertinent way the first time i saw it oh why oh nothing oh it's much the same something i happened
48:58to say about my sister didn't happen to please him then he knows your sister he didn't at the time does now
49:04does now yes sir going to see her i dare say can't be he doesn't know her well enough
49:16i should like to catch him at it
49:30so
