00:00You've such lovely things in your home, Sophronia.
00:29Do you think so, darling?
00:31Does Mr. Lammel give them to you?
00:33It must be wonderful to have a husband like him.
00:36Mr. Lammel's more like a lover.
00:38Now, now, Georgiana, take care.
00:41Well, what have I said?
00:42You were never to say Mr. Lammel again, but Alfred.
00:45Oh, Alfred, then.
00:48What I like about him.
00:50And you is that you're so happy together.
00:53Truly, I believe my Alfred loves me fully as much as I love him.
00:57What happiness. Such a tender husband.
01:01Is there something suspicious in my Georgie's enthusiasm for Alfred's tenderness?
01:05Good gracious, no. I only praise him because he is your husband and so fond of you.
01:10Darling, I didn't mean that.
01:11What I meant was that my Georgie's little heart is beginning to grow conscious of a vacancy.
01:15No, Sophronia. I'd like to see you and Mr. Lammel.
01:20Alfred, married and happy, but I couldn't bear anything of the kind for myself.
01:26I don't want a husband for years yet.
01:29It'd be detestable.
01:30I should beg to have the person taken away and trampled on.
01:34Oh, it was not I who was to be taken out and trampled upon, I do trust.
01:38If you are determined to know Mr. Inquisitive, that it was anyone who should venture to aspire to our little Georgie.
01:45Well, that just goes to show the accidental combination there is in all things.
01:48For I came here with the very name of an aspirant on my lips.
01:53Oh, no. Please don't.
01:54Darling, you must listen. Who is it, Alfred?
01:56Young fledgman.
01:57But, of course. Brilliant of you, Alfred.
01:59Please, Sophronia, don't. I'd rather not.
02:02My dear little goose, don't you want to hear about a young man, charming and rich and a great friend of ours,
02:08and who, seeing us so happily married, wants to be married himself?
02:11But not to me, dearest Sophronia.
02:14And don't tell me what he said. Oh, I hate him for saying it.
02:18The poor young fellow only said that he was tippled over with little Georgina at Potsnap,
02:23and begs, implores, to be invited here to dinner to meet her.
02:27Oh, my goodness.
02:28And I've invited him to dinner with us tomorrow, and he'll go to the opera with us.
02:32Oh, Sophronia. Oh, I'm all upset. I must go home.
02:38Oh, but you'll come tomorrow.
02:39I don't know. I'll see.
02:40Oh, but you couldn't disappoint us. Oh, we should be desolate, shouldn't we, Alfred?
02:43Oh, but the party would be ruined.
02:45Besides, look, Georgie, if you don't like him, then I promise you that I myself will take him outside and trample on him.
02:54Very well. I'll see.
02:56Goodbye, Sophronia.
03:01Goodbye.
03:02Goodbye.
03:05If I understand this girl, sir, your dangerous fascination has produced some effect on her.
03:10That's exactly how I wanted to affect my plans, my dear.
03:13I mention this because I imagine that what you have in mind is more important to you than your vanity.
03:18Hmm. I happen to owe young Pledgebeer a considerable sum of money, my dear.
03:21And a wealthy marriage to that little fool, brought about by you, would relieve you of this embarrassment.
03:27Precisely, my dear. Precisely.
03:39So, Hexham.
03:42You want to go and see your sister?
03:43If you please, sir.
03:45I have half a mind to go with you. Where does she live?
03:47Well, she's not settled yet, sir.
03:48I'd rather you didn't see her till she's settled, if it's all the same with you, sir.
03:51How does she support herself?
03:53Well, since my father's death, she's kept the stock room with a seaman's outfitter.
03:58Look here, Hexham. I hope your sister may be good company for you.
04:02Why do you doubt it, sir?
04:04Did I say I doubted it?
04:06No, sir, you didn't say so.
04:08You see, Hexham, in good time you will pass a creditable examination and become one of us.
04:13The question is...
04:15Sir?
04:16The question is whether you had not better leave well alone.
04:21Well, leave my sister alone, do you mean, sir?
04:23I don't know your sister, Hexham.
04:25But I do ask you to think of it. You know how well you're doing here.
04:28Well, she got me here after all, sir.
04:29Expecting the separation to be complete.
04:32Perhaps it would be better, sir, if you did come to see her.
04:35Even if she isn't settled.
04:36She's living with a friend, a crippled girl for the time being.
04:39And when do you want to go?
04:41Well, now, sir.
04:43Very well. And I shall go with you.
04:46You're overdressed, my dear. I don't like the look of you at all.
04:56That'll have to come off, and that, and that.
04:58And with your complexion, you don't need so much pink.
05:02I can't get up because my back's bad and my legs are queer.
05:05But I'm the person at the house.
05:07I wanted to see my sister.
05:09Oh, what may your name be, young man?
05:10Hexham.
05:12Indeed. I thought it might be.
05:13Come in. And please shut the door.
05:17Your sister will be in in about a quarter of an hour.
05:21I'm very fond of your sister.
05:23She's my particular friend.
05:25What's this, gentlemen?
05:26Mr. Headstone, my schoolmaster.
05:28Take a seat.
05:32You can't tell me the name of my trade. I'll be bound.
05:34You make pincushions?
05:36And penwipers, and you'll do something with straw, but I don't know what.
05:41Well done, you. I only make pincushions and penwipers to use up my waist.
05:46I'm a doll's dressmaker.
05:48Oh.
05:49There. The straw's for bonnets.
05:51See, I hope it's a good business.
05:52No, poorly paid.
05:53Indeed.
05:55Do you stay here alone and work here all day by yourself?
05:58Perhaps some of the neighbouring children.
06:00Ah! Don't talk of children. I can't bear children.
06:03I know their tricks and their manners.
06:05Always skipping about and screeching and skipping on the pavement and chalking it for their games.
06:09And that's not all.
06:10Calling names through a person's keyhole and imitating a person's back and legs.
06:15I know their tricks and their manners.
06:16No, no. No children for me.
06:18Give me grown-ups.
06:20Ah, yes, Lizzie.
06:22Hello, Charlie.
06:24Please, please.
06:26Mr. Headstone's come to see you.
06:28Good evening, sir.
06:29Good evening.
06:30I didn't expect a visit from you, Charlie.
06:32I usually see my brother near the school, sir.
06:33It's easier for me to go there than for him to come here.
06:36How are you getting on, Liz?
06:38Well, very well, Charlie.
06:40You have your own room here, of course.
06:42Yes, upstairs.
06:43It's nice and airy.
06:44And she has the use of this room for visitors, don't you, Lizzie?
06:46Visitors?
06:48Charlie, let's go out while it's still light.
06:49I've been indoors all day.
06:51Yes, of course.
06:52I shall saunter on by the river.
06:53You two will want to talk together.
07:05I was ashamed to bring Mr. Headstone to such a place.
07:07Had you come to get mixed up with that little witch?
07:09Charlie!
07:11It was by accident at first.
07:14Do you remember those bills Father used to have stuck up on the wall at home?
07:17The drowned people?
07:18I don't want to remember anything about that place.
07:20This child is the granddaughter of that old man.
07:23What old man?
07:24That terrible drunken old man who was found in list slippers and a nightcap.
07:27Well?
07:29Well, the child's father is a weak, wretched creature too, never sober.
07:34Her mother's dead.
07:35I don't see what this has got to do with you.
07:38Don't you, Charlie?
07:39It'll be a very hard thing, Liz, if when I'm trying to get up in the world you pull me back.
07:43Me?
07:45Liz, you're not looking at pictures in the fire now.
07:48This is the real world, Liz.
07:50And as I raise myself, I want to carry you out with me.
07:53Thank you, Charlie.
07:55Oh, my word, Liz.
07:56I mean to be a good brother to you.
07:58I know what I owe you.
08:00But don't stay in this miserable house.
08:02Get away from the river, Liz.
08:03It never did us any good.
08:05I can't get away from it.
08:08I'm sorry, Charlie, if my friend's house is too poor for you.
08:12I didn't mean to hurt you, Liz.
08:14Say, I haven't hurt you.
08:16No, you haven't, Charlie.
08:18Here comes Mr. Headstone.
08:20You should be going now, Miss Headstone.
08:21I bid you good night.
08:22Good night, sir.
08:24Thank you for being so good to my boy.
08:27Bye, Charlie.
08:28Liz.
08:44What's the matter, Hexham?
08:46That man.
08:47It's that Rayburn one.
08:48What's brought him here?
08:49You don't appear to like him.
08:50Who is he?
08:51I don't like him.
08:52First time I met him, he took hold of my chin in a precious impertinent way.
08:56So?
08:57Why?
08:58I don't know.
08:59Something I happened to say about my sister didn't happen to please him.
09:02Then he knows your sister?
09:04He didn't at the time.
09:05But he does now.
09:06He's going to see her, I dare say.
09:07He doesn't know well enough.
09:08Tell me something about him.
09:09He's what they call a barrister with nothing to do.
09:12The first time he came to our house, when my father was alive, he was brought by a friend.
09:16When my father was round, he chanced to be one of the finders.
09:19He took it upon himself to go and fetch a neighbour, a Miss Hadley Patterson, to help break the news to my sister.
09:24I suppose your sister has had scarcely any education.
09:28Scarcely any?
09:29Well, it would be very painful, sir, if I get on as well as I hope, sir, that I shall be disgraced.
09:34That I shall be put to the blush, sir, by a sister who has been so very good to me.
09:39A sister hardly looks or speaks like an ignorant person.
09:42Such a young woman might soon acquire enough learning to pass muster.
09:47I've often thought so, sir.
09:49Perhaps you wouldn't be so kind as to think what might be done, Mr Headstone.
09:52Yes, Hexen, yes, I shall think of it.
09:54I shall think maturely of it.
09:56Yes, I think well of it.
09:59Well, Lizzy, what's the news out of doors?
10:06What's the news indoors?
10:08Let me see, said the blind man.
10:11Well, the last news is that I don't mean to marry your brother.
10:14Don't like the boy.
10:16What do you say to his master?
10:18No, he's bespoke, I should say.
10:20I wonder when I'll get married, Lizzy.
10:23When I'm being courted, I'll make him take my work and call for orders.
10:27I'll trot him about, I can tell him.
10:29Don't you think you're being a little hard on him?
10:31Not a bit of it.
10:32Those fellas, they don't care for you if you're not hard on them.
10:36Ah, Mr Rayburn.
10:38You may come in if you're good.
10:39I'm not good, Miss Jenny Wren, but I'm coming in.
10:42Good evening, Mr Rayburn.
10:43Good evening, Miss Hexen.
10:44Did I pass your young brother on my way here just now?
10:47Yes, he came to see me.
10:48Gracious condescension on his part, who was his friend?
10:50The schoolmaster.
10:51Oh.
10:52Well, have you considered my suggestion?
10:55Well, yes, Mr Rayburn, I have thought about it, but I've not been able to make up my mind to accept it.
10:59All I ask is that you will allow me to pay someone your own age and sex a few contemptible shillings a week to give you a little learning.
11:05I said my fancy on doing this for you, Miss Hexen.
11:08It'd help Jenny, too.
11:10You know why I'm doing it, don't you?
11:12I've never believed Riderhood's accusation of your father.
11:14I'm not much of a lawyer, but I'm better than none.
11:16I'm going to do all I can to clear your father's name.
11:18I've never doubted that, Mr Rayburn.
11:19And you still refuse?
11:21Oh, I'll hesitate no longer.
11:23For Jenny and myself, I accept your kind invitation.
11:26Agreed.
11:27Dismissed.
11:28I was thinking of setting up a doll, Miss Wren.
11:30You much better not.
11:31Why not?
11:32You'd only break it.
11:34And now as it's Saturday night, we won't detain you.
11:38That is to say that you wish me to go.
11:40Well, it's Saturday night, and my child's coming home.
11:44A troublesome, bad child.
11:46A doll?
11:47No, no, no, her father.
11:48Oh.
11:49Oh, in that case, I'll say goodnight, ladies.
11:52Goodnight.
11:54Thank you, Miss Wren.
11:55Don't go home, Miss Hatchom.
11:56While they're child, the poor invalid the honour of the company.
12:01Here, I'll pat her in here.
12:03Here, hae, Bono.
12:04Jenny, Wren.
12:05Oh, you bad, old boy.
12:06You wicked old creature.
12:07What, you mean anything?
12:08Well, then I'll pay for you.
12:09I'll pay for you.
12:10No, you want to pay for you.
12:11I'm not a good I'm a good boy.
12:12Here, I'll pay for you.
12:13I'll pay for you.
12:14There,ançon?
12:15There.
12:16Here, I'll pay for you.
12:17I'm a good boy.
12:18Here, Lieutenant.
12:19Here, Lieutenant.
12:20Black man.
12:21You bad old boy.
12:22You wicked old creature.
12:23What do you mean by it?
12:25Slave, slave, slave, from morning to night and all for this.
12:29Aren't you ashamed of yourself?
12:31Yes, my dear. Circumstances. No control.
12:35Oh, I wish you'd been locked up and poked in a cell
12:39and run over by rats and spiders and beetles.
12:42I know their tricks and their manners and they'd tickle you nicely.
12:45I'm a poor, shattered invalid. Trouble nobody long.
12:49Come along, now. It's Saturday night. Give me your wages.
12:51All you've got, heavenly farming. Turn your pockets inside out.
12:54Leave them like that.
12:56I'm this long. That's all.
13:01Some of them ain't been safe.
13:04If that's all, no supper for you.
13:06Don't starve me.
13:08Oh, get along with you. Go on off to bed. Go on, go on, go on.
13:18Oh, Lizzie.
13:21If I get married and he should be a drunkard, what shall I do?
13:27You won't be, Jenny, darling. You won't be.
13:32Come on. Let me give you some supper.
13:36Yes. I suppose in a little while, I'll have to take some up to that bad child.
13:42Well, it looks tolerably comfortable. I hope the upholsterer feels the same.
13:47Why shouldn't he?
13:48Well, he's not in the secret of our pecuniary affairs, so perhaps he's in an easy state of mind.
13:52What a train of events have followed on old Harman's death.
13:55We've become involved in a group of people we'd never have met.
13:58Hexam and his daughter. Riderhood.
13:59Not to mention the fortunate dustman.
14:01And the girl whose mess of pottage seems to have been snatched away before she could even taste it.
14:05Not at all. The Poffins have practically adopted her. She lives with them. She's a rich girl now.
14:08No doubt flaunts her riches in the face of her poverty-stricken family.
14:11You know nothing about it. She seems a charming girl. The Poffins think so at any rate.
14:17It's nice to have you here this evening, Eugene. I so seldom see you these days.
14:21Always off on your own. You never tell me where. Where do you go?
14:24Where do you go?
14:25Oh, about.
14:26I trust there's nothing afoot that could be injurious to you or to anybody else.
14:30Well, let us see what a smoke will do. If it enlightens the question at all, I may impart.
14:35Who the devil's that?
14:36I'll go.
14:46Do you recollect this young person, Eugene?
14:47Let me look at him.
14:48Oh, yes. I remember him.
14:50Did he have something to say to you?
14:51Yes, I do say so.
14:52And I mean to say it too, Mr. Eugene Rayburn.
14:54And who may the other person be?
14:55I'm Charles Hexham's friend, Miss Schoolmaster.
14:57You should teach your pupils better manners, my good sir.
14:59In some respects, my pupils' natural feelings are stronger than my teaching, Mr. Eugene Rayburn.
15:04In most, I dare say. You have my name very correctly. Pray, what is yours?
15:07It cannot concern you, but...
15:08True, it does not concern me at all. I can say Schoolmaster. You're quite right, Schoolmaster.
15:11Mr. Rayburn, I want to worry with you.
15:13And I'm glad to speak before Mr. Lightwood.
15:15Because it was through him that you ever saw my sister.
15:18And since then, you've seen her often. I want to know why.
15:21Was this worthwhile, Schoolmaster? So much trouble for nothing?
15:23I don't know, sir, why you address me here.
15:25Don't you? Then I won't.
15:26Hear what the lad has to say, Eugene.
15:28We know something else too.
15:29We had a plan, Mr. Headstone and I, to give my sister some education.
15:32I'm raising myself in the scale of society.
15:35And I don't want any slur on my respectability through my sister.
15:37But what is all this leading up to?
15:39What have we come to find when we make this offer?
15:40We find that she's already been taught by someone.
15:42And who pays for this?
15:44Your friend, this Mr. Eugene Rayburn pays.
15:46And what right gives him the liberty without my consent?
15:48Your consent?
15:49Yes, ma'am.
15:50Is that all you've got to say?
15:51No, it is not all.
15:52And you can also tell your friend that I object to his having anything to do with my sister.
15:55And let him think about that.
15:56Yes, let him turn that up.
15:57Think about it!
15:58That's enough.
15:59May I suggest, Schoolmaster, you can now take your pupil away.
16:02And he can also think about...
16:03Madam!
16:04Go downstairs and wait for me.
16:05Come.
16:13You, Mr. Rayburn, think of me as of no more value than the dirt beneath your feet.
16:16I assure you, Schoolmaster, I don't think about you at all.
16:18I will be heard, sir.
16:19As a Schoolmaster, you're always being heard.
16:21That ought to contention.
16:22Mr. Rayburn, sir, my name is Bradley Headstone.
16:24As you said yourself, sir, your name cannot concern me.
16:26Come, come.
16:27Say what you have to say and let me remind you that the door is standing open
16:29and your young friend is waiting for you on the stairs.
16:31I strongly support him in his disapproval of your visits to his sister.
16:34Is that all?
16:35No, sir.
16:36If you suppose that boy...
16:37You really will be tired of waiting.
16:38If you suppose that boy to be friendless, Mr. Rayburn, you'll deceive yourself.
16:41I am his friend and you shall find me so.
16:43And you will find him on the stairs.
16:46I scorn your shifty evasions and I scorn you, but I warn you.
16:49Unless you profit by this visit, you will find me bitterly against you.
16:53And in me you will have to deal with a man, not a boy!
17:01Curious monomaniac.
17:06My dear fellow, I'm afraid my unexpected guests have been troublesome.
17:11Yours, I believe.
17:13A glass of wine.
17:15I'm sorry about this, Eugene.
17:17Do you love this girl?
17:19There is no better girl than Lizzie Hexham, but...
17:22You design to pursue her?
17:23You don't design to marry her.
17:24My dear fellow, I don't design anything.
17:26Oh, Eugene, Eugene.
17:27Oh, not that tone of melancholy reproach I entreat.
17:30What are you doing, Eugene?
17:31Believe me, Morton, if I could answer you frankly, I would.
17:34Funny chap, this rokesmith.
17:36Wonderful secretary, but I can't make him out.
17:39Can't you, Mr. Buffett?
17:40Well, my dear, he won't meet any company.
17:42When we have visitors, I'd like him to take his regular place at the table, but he won't take it.
17:47First it was only Lightwood he wouldn't meet.
17:49Now it seems to be everybody but you.
17:51Well, he didn't even trouble himself on my account.
17:54Well, he ain't been worrying you, I hope, my dear.
17:57Oh, no, but...
17:58But he does take it upon himself to criticise my conduct.
18:01Criticise you, my dear?
18:03Well, not exactly, but...
18:05Well, he will ask if I don't want to send messages through him to the family.
18:10Says that they ask after me and that he gives them what intelligence he can.
18:15Oh, is that criticised, my dear?
18:18Well, I suppose not, but he makes me feel as if I'm neglecting them.
18:21I'd be sorry if you had.
18:23I do go.
18:25And I shall go more often, but...
18:27What it has to do with your secretary and my father's lodger, I can't imagine.
18:32Oh, I beg your pardon, sir.
18:34I was hoping the mistress was here.
18:36Anything I can do?
18:37It's about the child, sir.
18:38Little Johnny.
18:39The lad they call Sloppy is here, sent by Mrs Higdon.
18:42The child is ill.
18:44Send the lad in.
18:45Willow, my dear, go and fetch Mrs Bocking.
18:47Yes.
18:48Poor little chap.
18:51Hi, my boy.
18:52It's a little Johnny's ailing, is it?
18:54What's wrong?
18:55I don't rightly know, sir.
18:56What's the matter with the poor child?
18:58Something with spots, ma'am.
18:59Mrs Higdon took him to the doctor's shop, ma'am.
19:01And what did the doctor call it?
19:02Something ever so long with spots, ma'am.
19:04Measles?
19:05No, ever so much longer than that, ma'am.
19:07Why didn't Mrs Higdon let us know at once?
19:09She was hoping to bring him round, ma'am.
19:11Oh, Sloppy, whatever she would do.
19:13We'll go and see him, old lady.
19:14That's what we'll do.
19:15Nor all of us.
19:16You, perhaps, alone.
19:17Ask Rokesmith to take you.
19:19And if the child would be better off in hospital...
19:21Now, don't you worry, Nicky.
19:22I'll ask Mr Rokesmith to make the arrangements.
19:25He'll know what to do.
19:26Come along, Sloppy.
19:33I should have gone with them.
19:35But I hate poverty and misery.
19:37Oh, that's all right, my dear.
19:38Too many visitors would be bad for the boy.
19:41No, it's got nothing to do with it.
19:43I'm a selfish beast.
19:45I think I'll go for a walk.
19:47I'll go and see the family.
19:50Goodbye, Mr Bobbin.
19:52Goodbye, my dear.
19:58Anybody in?
19:59Oh, Jenny, my dear.
20:01I've come for some more silk scraps, if you please, Mr Ryer.
20:05By all means.
20:06I will look some out.
20:08Would you like to go up into the garden?
20:10Your friend is there.
20:11Ah, I thought she might be.
20:13Let me help you.
20:14Thank you, Mr Ryer.
20:15That's right.
20:16Here.
20:17Here comes our little Jenny Wren.
20:31Come and sit down, Jenny.
20:32There.
20:33Sit you down.
20:34There.
20:35Thank you, Mr Ryer.
20:36Now, now I'll leave you.
20:39Who'll leave who?
20:41So you entertain company here, do you?
20:43I suppose you know whose premises these are.
20:46Sir, they are yours.
20:48Oh, I thought you might have overlooked that.
20:51Who are these?
20:52This is Miss Hickson and this is Miss Wren.
20:54And whoever you are, I can't get up because my back's bad and my legs are queer.
20:57This is my master.
20:59Miss Wren is a little dressmaker, sir, for little people.
21:03Explain to the master, Jenny.
21:05Dolls, that's all.
21:06They're busy from early till late.
21:09And on off times, they're busy book learning.
21:12Not much to be got out of that.
21:14Depends on the person.
21:15Miss Wren is a customer of ours, sir.
21:18She buys some of our waste for her tiny dresses.
21:21At a fair price, I hope.
21:23At two shillings a basket.
21:24Two precious shillings.
21:26And you, Miss, do you buy anything here?
21:29No, sir.
21:30Nor sell anything?
21:32No, sir.
21:34You come here because we're grateful to be quiet.
21:36And there's the air.
21:38And you can see the sky.
21:40And when the wind blows, you feel as if you were dead.
21:44You feel so peaceful.
21:46And thankful.
21:48And down there in the close dark streets,
21:51are all the alive people, crying and working.
21:55And up here, you feel as if a chain had fallen from you.
21:59Strange fancies, young woman.
22:01Raya, come down, I want you.
22:03Yes, sir.
22:05Don't be long, Mr. Raya.
22:07Come back soon.
22:08And be dead.
22:16Handsome girl, that, the one in her senses.
22:19And as good as she is handsome.
22:21Well, all right.
22:23But don't go inviting others up here.
22:25You still keep my name to yourself, I hope.
22:27Yes, sir.
22:28Mind you do.
22:29I don't want the name of Fledgby mixed up in any of your dealings.
22:32You need have no fear, sir.
22:33Look here, Raya.
22:34I want to go a little more into this business of buying up queer bills.
22:37Put it about in the right quarters that you'll buy queer bills by the lump.
22:41I'll do as you say, sir.
22:43And bring the books for usual inspection at eight o'clock next Monday.
22:46Yes, sir.
22:47Handsome girl, that.
22:49Where does she live?
23:02Oh, my dear child.
23:04All alone, Pa.
23:06Oh, and working late as usual.
23:08Yes, my dear.
23:10Good gracious me.
23:11What a lovely woman you are.
23:13How delightful to see you.
23:14I thought you'd forgotten us.
23:15Oh, I'd never forget you, darling, Mr. Foyle.
23:17Your mother and sister, then.
23:19I've just been to see them.
23:20Oh, how did you find them?
23:21Very disagreeable.
23:22So was I.
23:24Labby and I quarrelled all the time.
23:25I'm sorry to hear that.
23:27Well, I expect it was my fault, really.
23:29But she does make me so angry when she says horrid things about Mr. and Mrs. Boffin.
23:33Do you know she will not even call them Mr. and Mrs.
23:36It's natural she'd be a little jealous, my dear.
23:38Then Ma had to get on a high horse and I said a lot of things I didn't really mean.
23:44Then that wretched secretary rokesmith had to come in and see it all.
23:48From the pretext of bringing me something Mr. Boffin wanted me to have but forgot.
23:52He always comes when he's not wanted.
23:55So we were all disagreeable together.
23:58That's why I had to come and see you, Pa.
24:01Oh, and now, Pa.
24:02Hmm?
24:03I want you to attend to me and to promise and vow to be obedient.
24:07I promise and I vow.
24:09Now then.
24:10Hmm?
24:11Take this.
24:12And go to the nearest place where they sell everything of the best ready made.
24:15Come on.
24:16Then I want you to buy and to put on the most beautiful suit of clothes.
24:22And the most beautiful, perhaps.
24:24And the most beautiful boots.
24:26Patent leather.
24:27And then come back to me.
24:28Oh, Bella, I couldn't.
24:29Oh, careful, Pa.
24:30You promised and vowed, remember?
24:32Oh, Bella.
24:33We won't be needing that shabby old thing.
24:36Run along now, darling, little Pa.
24:38Then you can take this lovely woman out to dinner.
24:42Where shall we go, my dear?
24:44Let's go to Greenwich.
24:45And be sure you treat me to everything of the best.
24:48Run along now.
24:50Then I'll meet you by that quiet little rest or another river.
24:56Oh, be careful of that hat.
24:59It's brand new.
25:01Present for my daughter.
25:03And these gloves.
25:05And the umbrella.
25:08I'll take great care, sir.
25:11This table, sir, in the window.
25:14The lady has ordered.
25:15I won't keep you waiting long, sir.
25:17Oh, Pa, you look wonderful.
25:20And you look wonderful, too, my dear.
25:22But...
25:23But what?
25:24Don't you wish your mother was here?
25:25No, I don't.
25:26I want to have you all to myself.
25:28We've run away on our own before, haven't we?
25:30Have, my dear.
25:31You were always my favourite.
25:32And many a Sunday when your mother was a little liable to it.
25:35Oh, I always behave like a spoiled child.
25:38Well, sometimes, perhaps.
25:39But what a companion you were.
25:40Of course, your mother was a splendid companion, too.
25:43A little on the heavy side, perhaps, if you know what I mean.
25:46I know.
25:47I suppose, my dear, we must come to the conclusion at home
25:49that we've lost you for good.
25:51I don't know.
25:52Whenever I mention it to Mr. and Mrs. Boffin, they won't hear of it.
25:55And they do give me everything I want.
25:57Well, I'm glad for your sake, dear.
25:59Pa, I fear I am the most mercenary little witch.
26:02How, my dear?
26:03Well, I'll tell you, because we are each other's favourites.
26:06But it's a secret.
26:07And if you tell, I'll tell Mar about this expedition.
26:11And might be as well not to mention it, my love.
26:14Well, I've come to the conclusion that I must have money.
26:17And as I can't beg, borrow or steal it, I must marry it.
26:21My dear, Bella, this is quite alarming at your age.
26:23You'll never be happy.
26:24Did you marry for money, Pa?
26:26No, I didn't.
26:28And were you happy?
26:29Oh, I didn't mean to distress you.
26:32Look, I'll never have any secrets from you.
26:34I shall tell you the moment I found someone to marry.
26:37That's right.
26:38Oh, now, Pa.
26:39Hmm?
26:40Look, I want you to take this.
26:41Well, it's for the family.
26:42To buy gifts with and pay debts with and spend as you like or divide as you like.
26:47Bella, I can't.
26:48Yes, you can.
26:49Well, thank you.
26:50Thank you very much, my dearest child.
26:52I do wish that waiter would hurry up.
26:54I ought to be getting back to the boffins soon.
26:57You know, they're very worried about that little boy they were going to adopt.
27:01He's ill.
27:02Not serious, I hope.
27:03Well, I'm afraid it may be.
27:05Poor Mrs. Boffin will be so distressed if it is.
27:09They were going to bring him up and call him John Harmon.
27:12John Harmon.
27:13Sometimes I could wish we'd never heard that name.
27:16Pa, I'm not at all a nice girl.
27:19I'm afraid of unhappiness.
27:22And that's why I came to you today, to be comforted.
27:25I ran away when I should have gone with Mrs. Boffin.
27:28You didn't let her go alone?
27:30No.
27:31Rokesmith went with her.
27:33He always does the right thing.
27:36He's just about perfect.
27:38Oh, I hate him.
27:49You didn't let her go alone...
27:56He's just about perfect, but...
27:58...yep.
27:59He's just about perfect.
28:01Here's the perfect.
28:02He did.
28:03He's just about perfect.
28:04He was just about perfect.
28:06He's just about perfect.
28:08He didn't let her go alone?
28:10Well, it's about perfect.
28:12The End
