00:00My dear Mortimer, you are the express picture of contented industry reposing after the virtuous labours of the day.
00:19And you look the picture of contented idleness, not reposing at all.
00:22I've come here with the intention of consulting you on the position of my affairs.
00:25Your highly respected solicitor, my dear Eugene, is of the opinion that your affairs are in a bad way.
00:30Can a man be in a bad way when he has nothing to lose and can't possibly be made to pay?
00:34You've fallen into the hands of the Jews, Eugene.
00:36Having previously fallen into the hands of the Christians, my dear fellow, I can bear it with philosophy.
00:40Do be serious for a moment. A picturesque old patriarch called today. He seems determined to press us hard.
00:45Not my friend Mr. Aaron, by any chance.
00:47Gave his name as Ryer.
00:48I hope it's not my friend Mr. Aaron. I strongly suspect him of having a hand in spiriting Lizzie away.
00:52Oh, Lizzie, Lizzie. Everything always comes back to Lizzie.
00:54I mean to find her, Mortimer. I go no further than that.
00:57Surely not a client at this time of night.
01:00Mr. Dolls.
01:01What the devil?
01:02An acquaintance of mine. I gather he wishes to make some sort of communication to me.
01:06I rather think it'll be necessary to wind him up before we can get anything out of him.
01:10Brandy, Mr. Dolls?
01:11Three pennies of rum.
01:15Mr. Dolls' nerves are slightly unstrung.
01:17Ooh, I think a little fumigation might help.
01:20Why, there's this creature come to see you.
01:22Why are you going to see us, Mr. Dolls?
01:24Mr. Raven, the three pennies of rum.
01:26Wind him up again, Mortimer. I'm busy with fumigation.
01:29Mr. Raven, I tried to nudge it.
01:33You want an address.
01:35You want to know where she lives.
01:38I do?
01:39I'm the man to do it.
01:41You've got the address?
01:42No.
01:43Wind him up again, Mortimer.
01:57Hmm.
01:58These are foul, aren't they?
02:02Mr. Dolls.
02:03How much do you want to get it?
02:05Sweet man has the rum.
02:07Hmm.
02:08Ten shillings worth.
02:09You shall have it.
02:10Fifteen shillings.
02:11Stop at that.
02:12How can he get the address?
02:14I'm an ill-used man.
02:16Blown up morning to night.
02:18He treats me like a child.
02:19I'm not a child.
02:20I'm a man.
02:21A man of talent.
02:23He writes letters.
02:25Easy enough to find out the address.
02:27Well, you get it then.
02:28And bring it here in exchange for sixty-three penny worths of rum, you brute.
02:31He'll drink himself dead on that.
02:33Who are you to insult the man of talent?
02:36Come on, you coward.
02:46Oh, the man of talent.
02:48I tell you, oh, the man of talent.
02:52How can you stoop to use such an instrument as that?
02:54Unfortunately, my dear fellow, I can't do without him.
02:57It's deplorably underhanded.
02:58I'm rather ashamed of it myself, so let's change the subject, shall we?
03:01You remember my last two visitors?
03:03The schoolmaster?
03:04Hmm, and his engaging pupil.
03:06What about them?
03:07They follow me.
03:08Oh, don't be so ridiculous.
03:09They do, I assure you.
03:10Every night.
03:11Sometimes together, sometimes only the schoolmaster.
03:13What do they want?
03:14No idea.
03:15Ever since a certain person disappeared, we've played the most delightful game together.
03:19I go for a long walk, so does schoolmaster.
03:21I take a cab, so does schoolmaster.
03:23Sometimes I double back and meet him face to face.
03:25Pass him unaware of his existence, and he undergoes grinding torments.
03:28We go east, west, north, south.
03:30Schoolmaster gets quite tired.
03:31I don't like it, Eugene.
03:33You sure it's true?
03:34Take a look out of the window, my dear fellow.
03:36On the occasions when I don't go out, he watches the temple gate.
03:39I dare say he's there now.
03:42Come.
03:43Be a British sportsman and enjoy the pleasures of the chase with me.
03:46It will do you good.
03:47Will nothing make you serious?
03:49Where shall we go?
03:50I believe there's some rather difficult country around Bethnal Green.
03:54There was no sign of life.
03:59There ain't likely to be a bed.
04:01Gone for a walk, most likely.
04:03There's sometimes walks half the night.
04:04Madness, I call.
04:05Just for a call again tomorrow.
04:06Good night.
04:07Good night.
04:08And what might you want to be wanted?
04:10Mr Lord would you all want.
04:12Bit late for a call, ain't it?
04:13I've just been up there.
04:14There was no reply.
04:15You'd better do what he's going to do.
04:16Come back tomorrow.
04:17Excuse me, mister.
04:18Mister.
04:19Excuse me.
04:20Might you be acquainted with Tother Governor?
04:21With whom?
04:22With Tother Governor.
04:23There's two governors up there, ain't there?
04:24There's Loyal Lotwood.
04:26And Tother.
04:27I know quite as much of him as I wish to know.
04:29Oh, Tother is Governor.
04:31How are you, what are you thinking?
04:32It's Loyal Lotwood's, I'll come to say.
04:34You left it rather late, didn't you?
04:36Just what I was going to say to you, Tother is Governor.
04:40I'm, uh, I'm deputy lotkeeper up the river.
04:43And my business is getting myself appointed regular lotkeeper.
04:46And every law of the steamer which drowned it on me.
04:49Why ain't I going to be drowned and not paid for it?
04:51How can you be drowned?
04:52The steamer run me down.
04:54Drowned in me.
04:55Interferences on the part of other parties brought me around.
04:57I'll never ask them to have done it.
04:59I mean to be paid for the life that bastard steamer took.
05:02You know, I got it all wrote down in a letter.
05:05I was writ by my daughter.
05:07My mark on it to make it all legal and behind him.
05:10Are you so stupid as to suppose that either of them
05:13will treat that letter with anything but contempt?
05:15And like their cigars with it?
05:17I believe I know who you are.
05:19Your name is Riderhood.
05:20The rest of it ain't.
05:22I can say I know your one.
05:24I didn't suppose that you would.
05:26Where is your lock?
05:27Place for the mill.
05:28Twenty miles, mair.
05:29Suppose I were to offer you five shillings.
05:32Or four.
05:33I take it you have no good will towards this Rayburn.
05:36No.
05:37No, I'm honest, mair.
05:38He's got to be living by the sweat of me brow.
05:40And he isn't and doesn't.
05:42I know another name besides yours.
05:44That of Gaffer Hexham.
05:46Ah.
05:47Ah, you know about him, do you?
05:50Nothing to his credit.
05:52Tell me, when did you last see his daughter?
05:54Oh, I'd say I was in her.
05:56Not in Gaffer Hexham's death.
05:58Did you ever see this Rayburn with her?
06:00On that night I did.
06:01Was he insolent to her?
06:02He made a great show of being not common kind to her.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Now I come to think of it.
06:08Perhaps it was on account of his being sweet on her.
06:11Do you know where she is now?
06:14Now?
06:15Now what's happened?
06:16Would you be willing to find out?
06:18For payment, of course.
06:20I might.
06:21Then let me know if they ever meet.
06:23I'm willing.
06:25Very well.
06:27I...
06:28I don't know where to find you, Thomas.
06:32I don't know where to find you.
06:34I shall come out to your lock.
06:36You may mention on a little matter of four shillings.
06:40Ready, money man.
07:01Hope I see you well, sir.
07:03Mr. Ryan?
07:04No, I'm waiting for him.
07:05Haven't I seen you somewhere before?
07:07Once before, if you had your eyesight.
07:09The top of the house, I remember.
07:10How's your friend?
07:11I've more friends than one, I hope.
07:13I only came to get two shillings worth of waste.
07:15So if you can't you let me have it, I'll trot off?
07:17I let you have it, but I'm nothing to do with the place.
07:20He said that day you were the master.
07:23Ryan said that.
07:24He'd say anything.
07:25But you said so too.
07:26At least you carried on like you were the master and didn't contradict him.
07:30One of his dodges.
07:31He said to me, come up to the top of the house and I'll show you a handsome gal.
07:34Only I shall call you master.
07:36I don't know why.
07:37He just loves a dodge for its own sake.
07:39You can't mean what you say.
07:40I can, little woman, and I do.
07:42However, that won't make any difference to his letting you have some pieces.
07:45Here he comes.
07:49Oh, I beg your pardon.
07:51I hope to see Mr. Ryer.
07:53I'm waiting for him too.
07:54I expect you'll be back in a minute.
07:55You're Mr. Twemlow, I think.
07:57I am.
07:58Met you at the Lammel's.
07:59Even have the honor of being a connection of yours.
08:01I hope your business here is of a more agreeable character than mine.
08:04Thank you, sir.
08:05What I know of Ryer leads me to believe that this is the shop for disagreeable business.
08:08He's the tightest screw in London.
08:10If it wasn't to help a friend, you wouldn't find me sitting here.
08:13Oh, you're very generous, sir.
08:14As a matter of fact, the friends I'm acting for are the Lammel's.
08:17She's a very take-in and agreeable woman.
08:19She is?
08:20Sir, when she asked me to try and pacify their chief creditor, this Ryer, well, what could I do?
08:25Nothing but come.
08:26No sooner had I begun than Mr. Ryer started off and ran off and said he'd be back directly.
08:30I'm still waiting.
08:31Surely he can't be long?
08:33I can see you're very distressed, Mr. Twemlow.
08:36Can I help in any way?
08:38No, no.
08:39No, really, thank you.
08:40It's very kind of you, but I'd rather not.
08:42I don't know anything of your affairs, of course, but I might be able to help.
08:45After all, I have some influence over the old scoundrel.
08:48Well, the fact is, I backed a bill for a friend of mine, never supposing that he wouldn't be able to pay.
08:54And now, somehow, it seems to have got into the hands of Mr. Ryer, and I've received a letter asking me to pay it in full.
09:00Oh, I don't like the sound of that.
09:02You'll have to pay up, I fear.
09:04But if I can't...
09:05Then you must go.
09:06Where?
09:07To prison?
09:08It may not come to that.
09:12If you'll allow me, I'll tell Mr. Ryer that you're my friend and that I speak for you.
09:15Oh, I thank you again and again.
09:18Well, Mr. Ryer, I thought you were lost.
09:20Where have you been?
09:22You haven't.
09:23No, you can't have been to get the start of everybody else and put in that bill of sale at Lammel.
09:27Sir, I have.
09:28Well, I always knew you were a tough customer, but I never thought you were quite as tough as that.
09:32Sir, as I do as I am told to do, I am not the principal here. I have no choice and no power.
09:38Don't be so devilish meek, Mr. Ryer, for I know what will happen if you are.
09:42This is Mr. Twemlow.
09:44I've made such a failure with you over the Lammels that I don't suppose I shall fare much better with my friend Twemlow.
09:49Mr. Twemlow's in a little difficulty.
09:51Why do you press him? He's always good for his interest.
09:54Come, Mr. Ryer, make terms with me for Mr. Twemlow.
09:57I'm sorry, Mr. Twemlow. Those are my instructions. The money must be paid in full.
10:03In that case, I'd better go.
10:07You've tried, Mr. Fletchby, and I think...
10:10I'll stay and have another go at him.
10:12Do not deceive yourself, Mr. Twemlow. There is no hope for you.
10:16The money must be made in full and promptly, or you will be put to heavy charges.
10:22Those are my orders.
10:27What a hard-hearted old dog of a Jew it is.
10:33Your little friend in the corner wants some waste.
10:36Give her good measure if you can bring yourself to be generous for once.
10:39My little Cinderella.
10:41Don't call me your Cinderella. You're not a godmother at all.
10:44You're wicked. A wicked wolf.
10:47And if ever my poor Lizzie is sold or betrayed, I'll know who betrayed her.
10:55Oh.
10:57Send Rokesmith to me.
10:59Miss Buffen, what's the matter? What's happened?
11:01I mustn't tell you, Bella dear, I'm forbidden to speak to you about it.
11:04But don't be alarmed, my dear. I'm not angry with you.
11:06Why don't you, you're actually trembling. Don't be frightened, Bella.
11:09I'll see you righted.
11:10See me righted, sir?
11:12Yes, see you righted. Don't you worry.
11:14Don't mind him, dear, whatever he says. Believe me, he's still the best of men.
11:18Shut the door, sir.
11:23Now, sir, I have something to say to you that I fancy you won't be pleased a year.
11:26I'm sorry to reply, Mr. Boffin, that I think that very likely.
11:29What do you mean?
11:30I mean that it has become no novelty for me to hear things from your lips that I'd rather not hear.
11:35Oh, perhaps we can change that.
11:36I hope so, sir.
11:37Look at this young lady. Look at her.
11:39I do so, sir.
11:40How dare you, sir, unknown to me tamper with this young lady's affections.
11:44How dare you come out of your station, your place in my house, to pester her with your impudent addresses.
11:49I must decline to answer questions so offensively asked.
11:51You decline to answer, do you? Then, Rokesmith, I'll answer for you.
11:54It was sheer insolence, do you hear?
11:56I hear, sir.
11:57Even to think of this lady.
11:58What are you I'd like to know?
11:59To have the audacity to approach one who was, as she's every right to do, looking about the market for a good bid?
12:04Mrs. Boffin, please, Mrs. Boffin, speak for me.
12:07Oh, lady, you hold your tongue. Don't worry, Bella. I'll bring this young man to book.
12:11Now, sir, didn't this lady tell you herself it was presumption on your part?
12:15Did I, Mr. Rokesmith? Did I?
12:17Please don't distress yourself, Miss Wilford. It matters very little now.
12:20Oh, but you can't deny it, can you?
12:21But I've asked him to forgive me since.
12:23And I'd ask him again on my knees if it would spare him.
12:26I'm going to unfold your plan to this young lady, and nothing you can say will stave it off.
12:30Now, you pay attention, Bella, my dear, and you too, old lady.
12:32This Rokesmith that I take from the streets soon gets to year that I mean to settle a sum of money on a certain young lady.
12:38Oh, says he. That'll be a good all. I'll go in for this.
12:41And if you, Bella, my dear, had had less spirit or less sense, by George, he might have worked it.
12:45Your unfortunate suspicions, Mr. Boffin.
12:47Unfortunate for you, I can tell you.
12:48Oh, not to be answered by anyone. I would not attempt so hopeless a task.
12:52But as our connection is now at an end, it matters very little what you say.
12:55Oh, I thought you'd get in first, did you?
12:57Well, you can't better me. Look at this. It's your pay and your discharge.
13:00Let's have no pretending you discharge me, I discharge you.
13:04If it's all one to me, sir.
13:05Nick, you must listen.
13:06Don't you cut in, old lady. Ablish me by keeping still.
13:08Sounds so hard, I can't bear to hear it.
13:10Have you anything to say, Rokesmith?
13:12To you, no, but to Miss Wilfer and to your good, kind wife, I would say a word.
13:16I with it, then. Cut it short.
13:19Since Miss Wilfer rejected me, I have never again urged my suit.
13:23But I have never changed in my devotion.
13:25I love her.
13:27My interest in her began the first time I saw her.
13:30It was, in fact, the cause of my entrance to Boffy's service.
13:33Oh, it's an awful dodge.
13:35You pretend to have a mighty admiration for this young lady.
13:37I do not pretend.
13:38Yet you thought her a weak-spirited, improvident idiot, willing to throw her money away,
13:42as she would have been if she'd listened to you.
13:44I wanted only to win her affections and possess her heart.
13:46Win her affections.
13:48Mew, she's a cat. Quack, she's a duck. Bow-wow, she's a dog.
13:52Sir, you slander the lady.
13:53I only heard of your doings last night.
13:55I heard it from a lady with as good a headpiece as the rest.
13:58She knows this young lady, and I know this young lady.
14:01And we all three know that it's money she makes us stand for,
14:03and that you and your affections and hearts are a lie, sir. A lie.
14:08Mrs. Boffyn, for your unvarying and delicate kindness. I thank you with my warmest gratitude.
14:15Goodbye.
14:16Goodbye, John.
14:17Goodbye, Miss Wilker.
14:18Mr. Oaksmith, before you go, don't give me money, Mr. Boffyn. I don't want money any more.
14:23Just let me go back to par. Nobody understands as he does.
14:27Don't take on me, dear. Everything's all right now. It's all right.
14:30But it isn't. It isn't. I've hurt you with shame. Shame for yourself and shame for me.
14:36When I first came here, I respected you. Soon I loved you. Oh, I can't bear the sight of you.
14:43You're nothing but a monster.
14:45Fell alone.
14:46Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Boffyn, but the best wish I can wish you is that he should have not a farthing in the world.
14:51As a bankrupt, you'd be a duck. As a man of property, you're a demon.
14:56Well, upon my word.
14:57Mr. Oaksmith, I am very sorry for the reproaches you have borne on my behalf.
15:02The only fault you can be charged with is that you left yourself open to be slighted by a shallow, worldly girl whose head was turned,
15:09and who was quite unable to rise to the worth of what you had to offer.
15:14From the depths of my heart, I humbly beg your pardon.
15:19God bless you.
15:24Come to me, my love.
15:27Mrs. Boffyn, very grateful for all you've done for me, but I can't stay here. I must go.
15:33Don't be rash, Bella, love. Think what you're doing.
15:35Yeah, you better think well.
15:36I shall never think well of you, you vicious old thing. Never.
15:39Your money's turned you into marble.
15:41No, nothing but a miser, like Dancer and all the others you're so fond of.
15:45Do you mean to say, Bella, that you set up Rokesmith against me?
15:48I do. He's worth a million of you.
15:50Oh, sure.
15:51I love him. There.
15:53Now look at you, Bella. I mean kindly by you, and I want to overlook this.
15:57So stay where you are, and we'll agree to say no more about it.
16:00I can't stay here. I must go home.
16:02Don't go, Bella, dear. Don't go.
16:04Don't do what you might be sorry for.
16:05I shall never be sorry for it.
16:07I should despise myself for the rest of my life if I stayed here after what's happened.
16:11If you go, Bella, you can never come back.
16:13You mustn't expect me to settle money on it if you leave like this, because I shan't.
16:16Not one brass farthing.
16:17Expect.
16:18Do you think any power on earth would force me to take it?
16:21Oh, Bella, Bella.
16:23You're a dear. The best of dears.
16:26I shall always be grateful to you, and I shall never forget you.
16:29Oh, dear, dear girl.
16:31I'm so glad I called you names. You richly deserved it.
16:34But I'm sorry I had to, because you used to be so different.
16:38Well, say goodbye.
16:40Goodbye.
16:41If I knew which of your hands was the least spoiled, I should ask you to let me touch it.
16:46Try the left hand. It's the least used.
16:49You've been wonderfully good and kind to me.
16:52And for that, I kiss it.
16:55You've been detestable to Mr. Rokesmith.
16:58And for that, I fling it away.
17:01Goodbye.
17:02Goodbye.
17:03Goodbye.
17:05Oh, my...
17:22Goodbye.
17:23Goodbye.
17:24köt
17:52A towel for the governor.
18:03Oh, it's you, my honest friend.
18:08You got the place, then?
18:10Thanks to you, a loyal Lightwood, if I did.
18:13We saved our recommendation for the next candidate.
18:16He'll offer himself when you're either transported or hanged.
18:19Don't be long about it. There's a good chap.
18:39Tell the risk, governor.
18:45Tell the risk!
18:47Ha ha ha ha!
18:49Wish him in time, if you hate being a him or taking to be a tellerist.
18:53We're only dressed as suitably as you.
18:56He's out of here.
18:57Who?
18:58Him is your following.
19:00Him is as given to spite of fences and deadly aggravations.
19:05You think I'm following him?
19:06Oh, no, you are.
19:08Don't worry, you'll catch up with him.
19:10He takes it easy.
19:12I saw him talking to you just now. What did he say?
19:15Cheek.
19:17Oh? What turn did his insolence take?
19:19The old guard was getting ready to be hanged.
19:22Let him look to that.
19:27Yes, let him look to that.
19:30His victims are about to be hanged.
19:32They'll be a death bell, but not for them.
19:36Not for them.
19:37He's gone to see her.
19:41I shouldn't wonder.
19:44He left London yesterday.
19:47I'm sure he's gone to her.
19:48To be sure of all, ain't you, tellerist?
19:51The looks of you, it's beginning to wear your hair.
19:53It takes time, let it.
19:55These are my holidays.
19:57Are they by George?
19:58You work your days, Mr. Stephens.
19:59So I'm free to pursue him. I'll never leave him till.
20:05Till I've seen him with her.
20:06And then?
20:09And then?
20:11I'll come back to you.
20:16I have a sovereign for you.
20:18You've got two.
20:24Maybe you'll stop at the lockhouse when you come back, eh?
20:27Yes.
20:31Perhaps I will.
20:42I wonder why he wants to dress up like me.
20:47He ain't got me red-spotted neck of you, though.
20:51He copies that.
20:53Oh, now he's up to no good.
20:58Mrs. Lamour.
21:01Mrs. Lamour.
21:03Pray be seated.
21:05Mr. Twemlow, you have heard no doubt of our reversal of fortune,
21:09that we have in fact been sold up.
21:11I had heard something.
21:13I am deeply sorrowful.
21:15I have come to add a post-script to something I told you on a former occasion.
21:19Do you remember looking at a photograph album with me?
21:21Oh, pray, Mrs. Lamour.
21:22I would consider it a favour if you spared me any further confidence.
21:24I imparted to you, then, a piece of information to be imparted to someone else.
21:28Which I did.
21:29For which I thank you.
21:31Though I scarcely know why I turned traitorous to my husband,
21:33for Giorgiano's a poor little fool.
21:35I was a poor little fool once myself.
21:38I can find no other reason.
21:40My object in coming here is to ask you not to use the knowledge you have against me.
21:44If by chance you should find either or both of us in the confidence of someone else.
21:48Oh, you may rely on me.
21:50Thank you, Mr. Tremble.
21:52I need detain you no longer.
21:54One moment, madam.
21:56I would never have sought you out to ask you this,
21:59but since you are here, I will get it off my mind.
22:02Was it quite consistent with your taking that resolution against Mr. Fledgby
22:07afterwards to address him as a dear and confidential friend and entreat a favour of him?
22:12He told you that?
22:13Yes.
22:14I will tell you the truth for once.
22:15When did this happen?
22:16I met Mr. Fledgby in the office of a certain Mr. Ryer.
22:19Have you too had the misfortune to fall into Ryer's hands?
22:22The one death of my life has fallen into his hands.
22:25Mr. Tremble, it has fallen into Fledgby's hands.
22:28Mr. Ryer is only his mask.
22:30Impossible.
22:31But how do you know?
22:32Oh, just that a whole train of circumstances took fire and showed me.
22:35It seems only fair to warn you.
22:37Well, I am most grateful to you.
22:39And may I express the hope that the condition of Mr. Lammel's affairs is not quite irretrievable?
22:44There may be another opening for him and there may not. We shall soon know.
22:48Well, at any rate, he is fortunate in having the support of one who will stand by him whatever his fortune.
22:54We must eat, Mr. Tremble.
22:56My husband and I deceived one another when we married.
23:00We must bear the burden of scheming together for today's supper or tomorrow's breakfast,
23:06till death divorces us.
23:15Darling, darling!
23:16What a precious to me!
23:18No, don't choke me!
23:20My dear, this is quite delightful!
23:23Is that a new dress?
23:25No, Pa, it's an old one.
23:27I thought I remembered it.
23:28You should. You bought it.
23:30Is it good enough for so splendid a young lady?
23:33I've got some disagreeable news for you, Pa.
23:36Oh.
23:38Oh, how very extraordinary!
23:39What is?
23:40Why, here's Mr. Oaksmith!
23:42Oh, no, Piker!
23:44My dear...
23:46My dear, dear girl!
23:49You gallant, generous, courageous, noble girl!
23:53I followed you here. I knew you'd come here, my dearest.
23:56You are mine, aren't you?
23:57Do you think me worth a taking?
23:59You sprinkle me with a little milk I'm feeding it.
24:02Oh, Pa, we're forgetting you. We haven't told you anything.
24:06Sir, Bella has taken me, though I have no fortune. Not even any occupation now.
24:10I rather thought so, from what I've seen in the last few minutes.
24:13Oh, Pa, you don't know how ill I've treated him.
24:15Sir, you don't know what a heart she has.
24:17But you don't know what a creature I was becoming till he saved me from myself.
24:20But you don't know what a sacrifice she's made for me.
24:21I think, my dearest, if you could make it convenient to come over here and sit down.
24:26Now, one on each side of me, we might make things a little plainer.
24:30Now, my dear John, if you will allow me.
24:32Oh, he will, won't you, dear John?
24:34Now, you said, I believe, that you had no occupation.
24:37Have you left Mr. Boffin's?
24:38Yes, I have, sir.
24:40He was treated most shamefully, Pa.
24:42Therefore, a certain mercenary young person, related to myself,
24:45seeing what money had done to Mr. Boffin,
24:47felt that she could not sell her sense of right and wrong for any price
24:50that could be paid.
24:52And she came to you, sir, knowing that you would understand, as you do.
24:55And now, Bella, my dear, have you thought about your mother?
24:58Yes.
24:59I think perhaps it would be better if we entered into no particulars at home.
25:03Let us just tell Ma that I've had a difference with Mr. Boffin,
25:06and that I've left for good.
25:08You must be prepared for us looking rather meagre after Mr. Boffin's home.
25:12And there may be other trials.
25:14Oh, I don't mind, Pa.
25:16I could bear much harder trials for John.
25:19My blessings on you both.
25:23Bless you, my children.
25:31What I have to say, I'll say with as little offence as possible.
25:35You two have done me a service.
25:37A very good service, Nick.
25:39In payment of that service, I've put a banknote for £100 into this envelope.
25:43Would you do me the favour to take it and accept my thanks?
25:45We are most grateful.
25:47It's not impossible, sir, that you've had some idea of replacing Rokesmith.
25:51No, sir, not impossible.
25:53And perhaps, ma'am, you've been wondering whether you couldn't become a sort of Miss Bella Wilfer to my old lady.
25:57Well, I feel sure that whatever I was to Mrs. Boffin, I could hardly fail to be something more than Bella Wilfer.
26:03No, Mrs. Lammel, it won't do.
26:05If you'll go your way, we'll go ours.
26:07And so I hope this affair ends to the satisfaction of all parties.
26:11We've talked it over with a deal of care, I do assure you.
26:14But it won't do, so we'll wish you well and say goodbye.
26:17Goodbye.
26:18Oh, my dear Sophronia.
26:20Oh, do you think that you and poor Alfred should be ruined?
26:23And after all your kindness to me.
26:25Come and sit down, my dear.
26:27Oh, dear Mrs. Boffin.
26:29Please forgive me for this intrusion, but you know how fond I was of Sophronia.
26:34I can't stay a minute.
26:36I told ma I was driving round with the couch for the Boffin.
26:38Have a little tea, my dear.
26:40If Pa should find out.
26:41Now, now, now, don't you distress yourself.
26:43You came round to see us.
26:45Oh, no, I didn't.
26:47I came to see Sophronia.
26:50My first and my only friend.
26:53I brought you something.
26:55Oh, Sophronia, it's little enough.
26:58Only 15 pounds and a few trinkets, but maybe you could sell them and buy things.
27:03Give them to me, my dear.
27:04I'll see that they're properly disposed of.
27:06Oh, how good of you, Mr. Boffin.
27:09And Mr. Boffin, there's another thing.
27:11My grandmamma's property.
27:13When I come of age, it'll be mine.
27:15And I want somehow to make it over to poor Sophronia and Alfred.
27:19You won't refuse, will you?
27:22Please, Mr. Boffin.
27:23She'll be seen to, my dear.
27:29Oh, Mrs. Bly, Sophronia.
27:32Oh, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Boffin.
27:34Oh, Mrs. Boffin. Goodbye, Mr. I mean, Alfred.
27:37Down along, my dear.
27:39All right, Alfred.
27:41I'll take care that these are given back.
27:43You won't undeceive her.
27:45No.
27:46I'll try to give a hint that she's in want of protection, but I'll say no more than that to her parents and nothing at all to her.
27:51Not many people in your position would be so generous.
27:54Do you care to be thanked?
27:56Thanks are always worth a hint, and thank you both.
27:59It's a change to see you so sentimental, Sophronia.
28:01Mrs. Lammel will be none the worse for it if she...
28:03Well, I myself, I'm not so inclined.
28:05As Georgiana says, three five-pound notes are better than nothing, and one can always sell jewels.
28:09If you sell them.
28:11Good day to you, sir.
28:12Your servant, ma'am.
28:13Are you ready, Alfred?
28:14Not that you used to think I'd be waiting for, but you.
28:17Oh, Nick, my dear.
28:19I do wish we could be our own selves again.
28:23Yes, so do I, old lady.
28:26So do I.
28:44I want you to talk about this.
28:47Well, let me show you.
28:49I love you.
28:51Bye.
28:52Bye.
28:53Bye-bye.
