00:00THE END
00:10Mr. Headstone.
00:13I'd soon come in.
00:15Mr. Headstone, what's the matter?
00:17Matter?
00:19Nothing, nothing.
00:21Have you heard the news about that fellow Rayburn?
00:23That he's been killed?
00:25Oh, he is dead then.
00:30Yes, yes. I had heard of the outrage, but I didn't yet know what was the end of it.
00:35Where were you when it was done?
00:37No, stop, I don't ask that. Don't tell me.
00:39If you force your confidence upon me, Mr. Headstone, I'll give up every word. I'll give you up.
00:43So what's this?
00:44It's for me to speak, not you.
00:46I'm going to put your selfishness before you, Mr. Headstone.
00:49Your violent, ungovernable selfishness.
00:51To show you why I can have nothing more to do with you.
00:53Say what you have to.
00:55If you had any part in this attack, but if you know anything about it,
00:59you will have done me an injury that can never be forgiven.
01:03I allowed myself to be mixed up with you, in favour of your desire to marry my sister.
01:07Now, Hexum, listen to me.
01:08How do I know that in your violent temper you might make me up into suspicion?
01:12I'm going to be clean with you, Mr. Headstone.
01:14I did all I could to help further your wishes with my sister.
01:18How have you shown your gratitude?
01:20You've compromised me by being seen about with me, this fellow, Rayburn.
01:23Hexum, you've said enough.
01:24No, I haven't.
01:25I'm going on.
01:26Don't you be afraid.
01:27I did hardly wish that you had never seen my sister.
01:29Hexum, Hexum.
01:31Every time I try to reach respectability, I lose it through no fault of my own.
01:37And now you're going to drag my name into the mud.
01:40I've done with my sister as well as you.
01:43And since she cares a little for me, she should go her way and I'll go mine.
01:47And now I'm going.
01:48And I wish never to see you again.
01:50Do you wish to see someone?
02:00I'm going to see Mr. Fledgby.
02:02You can't see him at the moment.
02:04There is a gentleman with him.
02:05I am waiting for that gentleman.
02:07Will the gentleman be long?
02:09His business with Mr. Fledgby will be transacted very quickly.
02:12Then you may go out.
02:13Now hurry.
02:15Did you hear anything?
02:17A kind of spluttering noise.
02:19Mr. Fledgby is taking a shower, perhaps.
02:22Someone's beating a carpet, I think.
02:25Mr. Fledgby's carpet, I have no doubt.
02:29Do you think there's anything the matter?
02:31I never heard such odd noises.
02:35I think the interview is over now.
02:38Is the office in this done, Hercules?
02:40Very thoroughly done, my dear.
02:42Then you may go after Mr. Fledgby whenever you like.
02:44And you may take these three pieces of stick with you, if you will,
02:47with the compliments of Mr. Alfred Lammel on leaving England.
02:51Pray be so good as not to forget the name Mr. Alfred Lammel.
02:54Come, my dear.
02:59Lammel?
03:01Lammel?
03:02Who have I heard that name?
03:04I know.
03:06Someone reacts.
03:07Ah, ah, ah, ah.
03:09Ah, ah, ah, ah.
03:13Ah, ah, ah.
03:14Ah, ah.
03:16Oh, gracious little eyes.
03:18Whatever's the matter?
03:19Water.
03:20Oh, Lord, water.
03:21Give me a glass of water.
03:23Ah, Lord.
03:24Mr. Fledgby, what happened?
03:27Oh, salt and snow up my nose and down my throat.
03:32Oh, my, my, and it's in my windpipe.
03:36Oh, oh, I'm watering them.
03:41Oh, oh, and I'm so sore.
03:45Do something for me.
03:47I can be relaxing.
03:48Oh, fetch something.
03:50Put something on my back, my legs, my arms, and my shoulders.
03:53Or I shall die.
03:55Oh, whatever possessed you to take salt and snow?
03:58I didn't take it.
03:59It was crammed into my mouth.
04:01Who crammed it?
04:02He did.
04:03Lammel.
04:04He rubbed it in and then attacked me.
04:06With this?
04:08Yes, that's it.
04:09He broke it on me.
04:11How did you come by it?
04:13Gave it to me in the hall.
04:14I was to say, with Mr. Alfred Lammel's compliments upon leaving England.
04:18Oh, the thief, the murderer.
04:19Not after the police.
04:20Oh, no, no, don't go.
04:22We must keep it quiet.
04:23Yes, the door is shut, isn't it?
04:26Oh, oh, oh.
04:28Do me the kindness to look at my shoulders.
04:33Oh, you may well smart, young man.
04:35Oh, put something on them.
04:36Well, they say vinegar and brown paper's good.
04:38Oh, anything, anything.
04:40Your vines of vinegar and brown paper in the cupboard outside.
04:44Have the kindness to make a few plasters and put them on.
04:48And then do hurry up.
04:50I shall die if you don't do something quickly.
04:53Oh, oh, oh, oh.
05:03If you want to have a little pepper, just a few grains.
05:10Pick the young man's tricks and manners.
05:12Make a claim on his friends for a little pepper.
05:20How long is this to last, Mortimer?
05:22You're already much better than you were, old friend.
05:24But I know there is no hope.
05:27Hold me.
05:28I'm wandering away again.
05:30I must say something.
05:31Not now, Eugene.
05:32Rest yourself.
05:33Try to get a little sleep.
05:34I don't sleep.
05:36Only wander in my mind.
05:39Mortimer.
05:40That man who attacked me.
05:41You and I suspect someone.
05:42More than suspect.
05:44While I lie here,
05:45I trust to you the perpetrator is never brought to justice.
05:48My dear friend, he cannot go unpunished.
05:50Her innocent reputation would be ruined.
05:53Lizzie would be punished, not he.
05:56I have wronged her enough in fact.
05:59I have wronged her still more in intention.
06:01You must promise me this.
06:05As you wish.
06:06I promise.
06:08Is Lizzie coming back soon?
06:11Very soon.
06:12And her little friend, Jenny.
06:13You'll ask her to come, won't you?
06:15Little tricks and manners.
06:17Yes.
06:17You'll ask her to come.
06:19Little...
06:27Boo!
06:29Jenny!
06:29You here.
06:32I thought you'd given me up.
06:34So I had.
06:35I thought you were the treacherous wolf.
06:37But it strikes me that you were the fairy godmother all the time.
06:40What's happened to change your mind?
06:42Mr. Fletchby's not here, is he?
06:44Well, no.
06:45No, nor he won't be neither.
06:47What do you mean, my child?
06:48I thought you were the wolf.
06:50But I know he's a fox.
06:52And what's more, he's a fox whose skin is smarting at this present moment I want.
06:55I can't imagine what you're talking about.
06:58Well, I'll tell you when you've answered the first a few questions.
07:01Now then, I've got an idea about the size of a marble rolling about inside my head.
07:06First of all, are you Puppet and Coe?
07:08No, Jenny.
07:09Not even Coe?
07:10No.
07:10Is Fletchby, Puppet and Coe?
07:13Well, yes, he is.
07:15Now my idea's about the size of an orange.
07:18Welcome home.
07:19Dear godmother, I humbly beg your forgiveness.
07:22My dear...
07:23I ought to have had more faith in you.
07:25But why did you let him say all that?
07:27You didn't say a word in reply.
07:29And it did look bad now, didn't it?
07:31It looked so bad, Jenny.
07:33It made me hate myself in my own eyes.
07:36That evening, after you'd gone, I went up to my rooftop and thought of what I was doing.
07:41I found I was dishonoring my race.
07:44That I was being a bad Jew.
07:46It's not the same with other peoples.
07:49If a Christian is bad, men say, well, he's a bad Christian, but there are plenty of good Christians.
07:53Not so with the Jews.
07:55If a Jew is bad, men say all Jews are alike.
08:00That is why my master employed me.
08:03An employment which, from necessity but to my shame, I accepted.
08:08Now you didn't mean all the things you said to that poor little man who was waiting with me?
08:12I did as I was bid.
08:14And so I wrote to my master and gave him my notice.
08:20What did little eyes say?
08:22He held me to his lawful term of notice.
08:24A notice which expires tomorrow.
08:27Now my idea's so big that my head's likely to burst if I don't let it out.
08:32Listen, godmother, little eyes is furious with you for leaving him.
08:36So he intends to pay you out.
08:38So he says to himself, I'll find out where that girl lives.
08:41And then I'll betray his secret and most likely I'll make love to her myself.
08:45What, Lizzie?
08:46Be quiet, godmother.
08:48So then little eyes comes to me and I'll think it over and I'll get a little eye.
08:53And what do I find?
08:54Those lammals.
08:56Lammals?
08:56She was downstairs.
08:58But he was up giving little eyes the beating of his life.
09:00Janet, was he hurt?
09:02Hurt?
09:03I should say he was.
09:04He was hurt worse than I've done with him.
09:06Well, until tomorrow he's still my master.
09:08I must go to him.
09:10He may need assistance.
09:11Godmother, I really lose all patience with you.
09:14Anybody would think that you still believed in the good Samaritan.
09:16It is the custom of our people to help.
09:19Bother your people.
09:20If your people don't know better than to go and help little eyes,
09:23well, it's a pity they ever got out of Egypt.
09:26Listen, what are you going to do?
09:28Now you're thrown on the world.
09:29Well, I shall have to seek my fortune, Jenny.
09:32The best thing you can do is to come home with me.
09:35There's no one there but my bad child.
09:37And you can have Lizzie's room.
09:39Now from Mr. Raya, and I'm to wait for an answer.
09:42From my master.
09:45Raya, you are an unthankful dog of a Jew.
09:50Lock up the key.
09:51Lock up the place and send the key by the bearer.
09:54Get out.
09:56Fletch be.
09:57That settles it.
09:58You're to come home with me here and now.
10:03Look at his writer.
10:04Oh, and the tremble.
10:06Pepper.
10:08Oh, I wish I'd put in some chopped pickled capsicum as well.
10:16Oh!
10:16Oh!
10:17Oh!
10:17Oh!
10:23She thinks I'm at home, she does.
10:25Oh, crap out, I just...
10:28She thinks I'm at home.
10:29The best thing you can do is get off home as fast as you can.
10:31She thinks I'm at home as fast as you can.
10:32I know where she keeps her money or two.
10:37I feel it or two.
10:39Miss Zickling.
10:40She thinks she's got a lot of money.
10:43What would you say, Godmother, if we went to see Lizzie together?
10:55My dear, you could not walk so far.
10:57Well, there are such things as trains, I suppose.
10:59Trains cost money, child.
11:01I've got some hidden.
11:02I've got to keep it hidden because of my bad child.
11:06The man has been run over.
11:09It's him.
11:10I know it is.
11:11Out without leave.
11:14It's my bad child.
11:15Oh.
11:18It's my child.
11:19It's my bad child.
11:20It's my bad child.
11:23And he's out of now, me.
11:25What should I do on my own child?
11:27I won't know.
11:28He won't know anybody no more.
11:29It's her poor drunken father.
11:31Will you bring him to the house, please?
11:34Oh, bad boy.
11:36He never did well in the streets.
11:38He never did well out of sight.
11:40Do you know where, where we could find a doctor?
11:42Yes, one of me men's gone for him.
11:44But he's no use, I'm afraid, except for a certificate.
11:47He was killed outright.
11:48It's not the driver's fault.
11:49He fell right in front of yours.
11:51Oh, will you?
11:52Yes, we'll take care of him.
11:53And take him along to the mortuary when the doctor's been.
11:56Is this his little girl?
11:58Yes.
11:59His little girl.
12:05Is he asleep?
12:07He keeps asking for someone called Jenny.
12:09Jenny Wren, do you know who it is?
12:11Oh yes, a little crippled girl I used to live with when I was in London.
12:14How can I find her?
12:15Well, I could write you a note and you could take it to her.
12:17I know she'd come.
12:23I don't know what I should have done without your help, Godmother.
12:28Or I you, Cinderella.
12:30I think if you don't mind, I'll go to the funeral alone.
12:34No.
12:35No, my child.
12:36Yes, I'd rather.
12:37I'd rather.
12:38We've been alone so much, he and I.
12:40And this will be the last time.
12:42Well, as you wish.
12:45Thank you, Godmother.
12:46You're so comforting and understanding.
12:47Excuse me, are you the doll's dressmaker?
12:48Yes.
12:49Lizzie Hexen's friend?
12:50Yes, I am Lizzie's friend.
12:51I have a note from her.
12:52My name is Lightwood.
12:53Well, why did she send it by you?
12:54My friend, Eugene Rayburn, is dying.
12:55What?
12:56He was attacked by some villain.
12:57He is hardly ever conscious, but in one of these intervals, he asked for Miss Jenny.
13:00You come at a bad moment, sir.
13:01My little friend's father has just been killed.
13:03Run over in the street.
13:04Oh, I'm sorry.
13:05In that case, I'm sorry.
13:06I'm sorry.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:08I'm sorry.
13:09I'm sorry.
13:10But there'll be things to do for him.
13:11I will do all that is to be done.
13:12Go with Mr. Lightwood.
13:13You will comfort Lizzie.
13:14Well, I'll come back for the funeral.
13:15Oh, bless you.
13:16My brother has just been killed.
13:17My brother has just been killed.
13:18Run over in the street.
13:19Oh, I'm sorry.
13:20In that case, I must trouble you no further.
13:21Perhaps afterwards you will come, if it is not too late.
13:22You have a deep sympathy.
13:23But you see how it is.
13:24Yes.
13:25Forgive me for adding to your sorrows.
13:26Stop.
13:27I'll come.
13:28But there'll be things to do for him.
13:31I will do all that is to be done.
13:33Go with Mr. Lightwood.
13:35You will comfort Lizzie.
13:38Well, I'll come back for the funeral.
13:39Oh, bless you.
13:40I have a carriage waiting.
13:41I fear that any delay...
13:42I'm ready, young man.
13:43Lizzie can lend me what I want.
13:45Can't stop working all the same.
13:47Goodbye, dear Godmother.
13:49Goodbye.
13:50Take care of her, sir.
13:52She is one of the salt of the earth.
13:54I'm deeply grateful.
14:00Lizzie.
14:01Yes, Eugene.
14:02I want Jenny.
14:04She'll be here soon.
14:05Mr. Lightwood's gone to fetch her.
14:06Mr. Lightwood?
14:07Mr. Lightwood.
14:08His name's Mortimer.
14:10Oh, don't talk too much.
14:11You tire yourself.
14:12Say Mortimer.
14:13Mortimer.
14:14Mortimer.
14:15Lizzie.
14:16Lizzie, stay there.
14:18Yes, my darling.
14:19Always?
14:20Always, always.
14:24Here they are.
14:26Oh, Jenny, I knew you'd come.
14:28Mortimer.
14:29I'm here, old fellow.
14:30I'm here, old fellow.
14:40I can't hear a word he says.
14:41Let me come.
14:42My ears are sharp.
14:46It's me, Mr. Rayburn.
14:47You know me, don't you?
14:49Little tricks and manners.
14:52Whisper to me.
14:54I'll tell the others.
15:01His eyes are closing.
15:02When he's conscious again, then he'll be able to tell us what he wants.
15:06I know what he wants.
15:08At least I think I do.
15:09Jenny, what was it?
15:10I think I'd rather tell Mr. Lightwood.
15:11What is it, Jenny?
15:12Well, he wants...
15:14I'm almost sure he said this.
15:16He wants to make Lizzie his wife.
15:18He said if the dear, brave girl will have me.
15:20Lizzie?
15:21But we must be sure before we tell her.
15:23We must wait.
15:26You get some rest.
15:27I'll stay here for a while.
15:29He'll sleep for some time, though, I expect.
15:31Don't you good if you did?
15:42Is that for me, Jenny?
15:44Certainly not.
15:45You and your godchild.
15:47Do you think I didn't see through all your little tricks and manners?
15:49Still angry with me, Jenny?
15:51Not angry, Mr. Eugene.
15:53If you don't make up your mind to get well, I think I might be going to be really happy.
16:06Mr. Lightwood, to see you, ma'am.
16:09Mr. Lightwood, my husband is not here at present.
16:11Forgive this intrusion, Mrs. Rokesmith.
16:13You don't look well.
16:14I hope nothing's wrong.
16:15My friend, Eugene Rayburn.
16:16Yes, I heard of that dreadful affair.
16:18I do hope he's better.
16:19He is not bitter, Mrs. Rokesmith, and I fear he never will be.
16:21Oh, no.
16:22But he has one last wish.
16:23He has asked Lizzie Hexen to marry him, and I am here at her request to beg you to come to the wedding.
16:27But it must be now, Mrs. Rokesmith, at once.
16:30One moment, I think I hear my husband.
16:32I'll fetch him.
16:33Please sit down.
16:34Here, Mr.
16:39John.
16:40Darling.
16:42We have a visitor.
16:43Mr. Lightwood.
16:46Lightwood?
16:47Yes, I'm afraid he's brought some rather sad news.
16:51What is it?
16:52Well, go in.
16:53He'll tell you better himself.
16:55Bella.
16:56Yes, John.
16:57Bella, tell me what Mr. Lightwood wants.
17:00I have a reason for not wanting to see him.
17:03A reason?
17:04A good reason.
17:06Can't you trust me?
17:08Well, of course.
17:09Well, then tell me.
17:11His friend Eugene Rayburn is very seriously ill.
17:13Dying, he thinks.
17:15He wants to marry Lizzie Hexen, and Mr. Lightwood's come to invite us to the wedding.
17:18Only it must be at once, as there isn't much time.
17:22We will go, aren't we, John?
17:24You will, my darling.
17:25Alone?
17:26Mr. Lightwood will take you.
17:28Yes, but he knows you're here.
17:31Bella, listen to me.
17:32Mr. Lightwood has never done me any harm, nor have I any cause to hold anything against him.
17:38But, well, he is connected with an event in my life which makes it impossible for me to meet him.
17:44John.
17:46Now, sometime in the future you may be called upon to undergo a trial.
17:51I don't understand you, John.
17:52Don't try to.
17:53Just trust me, can you?
17:56Well, of course.
17:58Go and make some excuse for me.
18:00I'll slip away until you've gone.
18:05Bless you, my dear one.
18:06I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Lightwood. I'll be ready to come with you in just a moment.
18:17And Mr. Rakesmith?
18:18I'm afraid not. His, um, face is swollen to the size of two faces and he's gone straight to bed.
18:25Oh, I'm sorry. It's curious that I've never met Mr. Rakesmith, although we have often been engaged on the same affairs.
18:30Really?
18:31Do you think I shall never see him?
18:32Oh, well, these things happen strangely at times. There seems to be a kind of fatality about them.
18:37I'll stop only to tidy my dress and say goodbye to my husband.
18:48They said just come to meet her.
18:50I do hope we shall zip them.
18:53Yes, yes.
18:59Where are they, I wonder?
19:01Ah, there they are.
19:02Ah, Mr. Mildy, a very good thing to come.
19:05Mr. Lightwood, this is Mr. and Mrs. Mildy.
19:07Mrs. Rakesmith, to be sure.
19:08Quite delightful.
19:09You remember I told you how good they were to Mrs. Boffin when little Johnny died?
19:13And Mr. Rakesmith, is he here?
19:15Oh, I'm afraid not.
19:17Um, his face is very swollen, um, toothache, you know.
19:20Most unfortunate.
19:22And do you know what an interest he took in Lizzie Hudson?
19:24At old Betty Higdon's funeral, you remember?
19:26This way, I have a carriage waiting.
19:29Excuse me, sir.
19:30Ah, I beg your pardon.
19:32Aren't you a schoolmaster?
19:33I can't recall your name for the moment, but I'm sure I've seen you.
19:36My name is Bradley Headstone.
19:37May I beg leave to speak with you for a moment, please?
19:39Ah, by all means.
19:41I couldn't help what was being said just now.
19:43And, and I overheard one of the ladies mention a name.
19:45The name of a sister of an old pupil of mine, the name Hexham.
19:49Uh, Lizzie Hexham, we are going to see her.
19:51I gathered as much, I hope there's nothing amiss, no bereavement.
19:53Not at all.
19:54I'm happy to tell you, Mr. Headstone, that we are going to perform the marriage service at her wedding.
20:00Why, what's the matter?
20:02Are you ill?
20:05It's nothing.
20:07It's just an attack of dizziness.
20:09It happens to me sometimes, please.
20:12Don't let me detain you.
20:13You really should sit down, my friend.
20:15Walter!
20:16Yes, Governor.
20:17There's a man here who seems to be ill.
20:18We'll see that he's all right, will you?
20:22Bill! Bill!
20:23Come over in and meet, will you?
20:24There's a chap in the face!
20:35Well, well now.
20:37May you be very happy.
20:39I'm sure you feel better, Mr. Rayburn.
20:41I feel much happier.
20:43And much better, Mr. Rayburn.
20:45Do say you're better.
20:46That's enough excitement for one day.
20:48May I suggest we all go into another room and leave them?
20:51Of course, of course.
20:52There's a wise head on those young shoulders, my dear.
20:55It's a good job somebody's wise.
21:00Mortimer.
21:01Yes.
21:05Thank you, Mr. Longford.
21:07Bless you.
21:08Come here, Lizzie.
21:09I bless this day.
21:10I bless it too, my darling.
21:11You've made a poor marriage, my sweet wife.
21:12No, no, no.
21:13I've made a marriage I've given all the world a day hope for.
21:14Shattered, graceless wretch.
21:15Stretched out here with next to nothing for you when you're a widow.
21:18You've thrown yourself away, Lizzie.
21:19I've followed the treasure of my heart, Eugene.
21:20Let me look at you.
21:21My brave, devoted girl.
21:22Don't talk too much.
21:23Just stay quietly with me.
21:24Lizzie?
21:25Yes, Eugene?
21:26Yes, Eugene?
21:27Yes, Eugene?
21:28Yes, Eugene?
21:29Yes, Eugene?
21:30Yes, Eugene?
21:31My beloved, if I should recover, how could I ever repay you?
21:32Don't be ashamed of me, Eugene.
21:33Help me more than repay everything.
21:34It'd take me a lifetime, more than a lifetime to repay you for what you've done.
21:35I'll be nice to see his face.
21:36I've lost the blessed of nothing for you when you're a widow.
21:37You've thrown yourself away, Lizzie.
21:38I've followed the treasure of my heart, Eugene.
21:39Let me look at you.
21:42My brave, devoted girl.
21:44Don't talk too much, just stay quietly with me.
21:46Lizzie?
21:47Yes, Eugene?
21:48My beloved, if I should recover, how could I ever repay you?
21:50Don't be ashamed of me, Eugene.
21:52I hope I more than repay everything.
21:55It'd take me a lifetime, more than a lifetime to repay you
22:00repay you for what you've done.
22:02Then live for that.
22:04Live for me.
22:06The best thing for me to do is to die.
22:08And leave me with a broken heart.
22:10I wasn't thinking of that.
22:14I was thinking...
22:15What were you thinking, Eugene?
22:17If I live,
22:19you will find me out.
22:21I shall...
22:22I shall disappoint you.
22:27Eugene.
22:27Oh, Eugene, come back to me.
22:31Eugene, come back to me.
22:36Now, if we were rich...
22:39John, why are you always talking about
22:41what we'd do if we were rich?
22:42We're quite happy as we are.
22:44Wouldn't you like that case of jewels, though?
22:46Not one of them.
22:48Well, isn't there something special you'd like
22:50for that nursery we're going to need?
22:52Oh, yes, John.
22:53I shall like pretty curtains and furniture.
22:55Lots of bright colours
22:57because, you know, babies do notice colours.
22:59And I should like to have a wallpaper
23:01with flowers all over it.
23:03Why, Mr Lightwood?
23:05Hanford.
23:07Mr Lightwood and I
23:08have met before, my dear.
23:11But you said you had not met my husband.
23:13I didn't know then that I had.
23:14I thought I'd only heard of Mr Ricks.
23:17He called you Hanford.
23:19When Mr Lightwood saw me before, my dear,
23:21my name was Julius Hanford.
23:24Sir, my position is a truly painful one.
23:26I trust that no complicity
23:28in a very dark transaction
23:29may be attached to you.
23:30But you cannot fail to know
23:31that your extraordinary conduct
23:32has laid you open to suspicion.
23:34Suspicion?
23:35I do know that.
23:36My professional duty is much against
23:38my private inclinations.
23:39But I don't think I should be justified
23:41in taking leave of you
23:42with these matters unexplained.
23:43John!
23:44Don't be alarmed, my dear.
23:45Mr Lightwood will find
23:46that he is quite justified
23:47in taking leave of me.
23:48At all events,
23:49he will find that I mean
23:50to take leave of him here.
23:51Sir, you cannot deny
23:52that when I came to your house
23:54you avoided me.
23:55My dear Mr Lightwood,
23:56I assure you
23:56I have no intention of denying it.
23:58But I would have continued
23:59to avoid you for some time longer
24:00if we had not met now.
24:03I am going home now
24:04and I shall be there
24:05until noon tomorrow.
24:07I hope at some future date
24:08we shall be better acquainted.
24:12Good day, sir.
24:13Good day, sir.
24:13Good day, sir.
24:15Good day, sir.
24:17Good day, sir.
24:22Don't ask me, my dear,
24:23why I once
24:24wore the name of Hanford.
24:27No, John.
24:27I should dearly like to know,
24:29of course,
24:29but I'll wait
24:31until you can tell me
24:32if you're on free will.
24:34And you still trust me?
24:35Yes, of course.
24:37Well, my dearest,
24:39circumstances have surrounded me
24:42with one of the strangest suspicions ever known.
24:46You heard Mr. Lightwood speak of a dark transaction.
24:48Yes, I didn't know what he meant.
24:52Are you prepared to hear exactly what he meant?
24:56Yes, John.
24:58He meant the murder of John Harmon.
25:01But you can't be suspected.
25:03My dear love, I can, and I am.
25:05How dare they?
25:07Oh, my dear husband, how dare they?
25:10Knowing this, you still trust me?
25:12With all my heart and soul.
25:15My dear, I'm a very fortunate man.
25:23If you will wait here, sir, the master and mistress will be home shortly.
25:26I'll tell them as soon as they come in.
25:34There's a gentleman waiting to see you, sir.
25:37Who is it?
25:38He said you would know him as soon as you saw him.
25:43Come there.
25:52Oh, good evening, madam.
25:55You'll remember me, I think, Mr. Hanford.
25:58You left your name and address with me some considerable time ago on this piece of paper.
26:04Yes.
26:04Can I have a word with you?
26:07Certainly.
26:08Here?
26:09Why not?
26:10Well, the lady, sir.
26:11The lady, Mrs. Rokesmith, is my wife.
26:15She has no need to be alarmed, whatever your business is.
26:17My dear, this gentleman is a police officer.
26:19Your husband, ma'am, caused us a fair amount of trouble, which could have been avoided had
26:24he come forward and explained his business at a certain inquest.
26:28So I'm sure you'll understand you'd be well obliged to come along with me and to do so now.
26:33Are you proposing to take me into custody?
26:35John!
26:36Why, I argue, sir?
26:37Isn't it enough for me simply to ask you to come along with me?
26:40What is the charge?
26:42Oh, bless my soul, sir.
26:44I'll wonder at you, and in front of the lady, too.
26:48Very well, I charge you for being in some way concerned in the arm and murder.
26:53Sir, and it's my duty to tell you, oh, I'm sorry about this, ma'am.
26:58It's my duty to tell you that anything you say may be used against you.
27:02I don't think it will.
27:03You've had a caution.
27:04I'd be much obliged if you'd step round to the station with me now.
27:07I'll step round with you in a moment.
27:08Meanwhile, fellow, my love, will you forgive us for a few minutes?
27:20Now, sir?
27:23I have something of very great importance to tell you.
27:29Why don't you sit down?
27:30Why don't you sit down?
27:39Come?
