13:29Venus, Clark and Will.
13:30Of Clark and Will, sir.
13:32Ah, I've heard of you.
13:34Yes, I heard of you in the old man's time.
13:36Here.
13:37You knew him?
13:38Yes, sir.
13:39Here, tell me.
13:40Did you ever buy anything of him?

14:03Teapot.
14:04Teapot.
14:05You ready, Weg?
14:06Oh, yeah.
14:07After service, sir.
14:08Yeah.
14:09Mr. Venus, would you make yourself useful and sit beside me for the convenience of snuffing
14:15the candles?
14:16Yeah.
14:17Now, what would you wish me to commence with, sir?
14:22The bottom one, Mr. Weg.
14:23The bottom one.
14:24The bottom one.
14:25The treasures of a dunghill.
14:28Oh.
14:29The treasures of a dunghill.
14:34Yes.
14:35The house in which the miser lived, though her most decayed building, was very rich in the
14:50interior.
14:51Captain Holmes found it a very agreeable task to dive into the miser's secret hoard.
14:59Secret hoard.
15:00Secret hoard.
15:02One of the richest finds was in the dungheap in the cowhouse, a sum, little, short of 2,500
15:11pounds, was contained in this rich piece of manure.
15:18On searching the corners of the house, they found various parcels of banknotes.
15:23The chimney paid very well, for in nineteen different holes, all filled with soot, were found various sums of money amounting altogether to two hundred pounds.
15:36It's wonderful. What's been it away at one time or another? Truly wonderful.
15:53Meaning money, sir? Money. And, uh, papers. Did you say papers, sir?
16:01Papers. And wills. Wills, sir?
16:06Time's up for tonight. I'm a-going, Wegg, to take a turn around the yard. I shan't want you...
16:20I told you, Wegg. I shan't want you.
16:26He must be followed. Why? I found something. What?
16:35No time to tell you now. He's going to look for it. We must follow him instantly.
16:40If not a double swindler, why a dark lantern? We could have seen what he was doing off if he carried the light one.
16:45Shhh. Follow me.
16:56Here. What's he got in his hand?
17:10A shovel. Who knows how to use it, remember? Fifty times better than we do.
17:16He's digging where I found the box. What box?
17:26Yeah. Tin box of papers, sir.
17:31That ain't tin. That's glass.
17:34Well, he's found something else, then.
17:41He's got something.
17:43It's a bottle. A big bottle.
17:50Look out. He's coming down.
17:52What does he want with that old bottle? There must be something in that bottle, if you ask me.
18:15What's wrong, Wegg? You look as pale as a candle.
18:31Oh, Wegg. I had a turn.
18:34You don't suffer from bile, Wegg.
18:37I can't say I do.
18:39Oh, well, dose yourself. I don't want to miss any of my readings.
18:42Oh, Wegg. I'm sorry to say the...
18:46This neighbourhood's gonna suffer a loss.
18:49Oh?
18:50Yeah, it's gonna lose the mines.
18:54Mine's practically gone already.
18:56Oh, uh...
18:57Have you, uh, parted with them, uh...
19:00Mr. Puffin?
19:01Yep. My ma fetched a pretty penny, too.
19:04Oh.
19:05They'll begin to be carted off tomorrow.
19:07Oh, uh...
19:09Oh, uh...
19:10You've just been out to take leave of your old friend, Mr. Puffin.
19:13Eh?
19:14Put the devil! Put that into your head!
19:15No, no.
19:18Good night.
19:19Good night.
19:22Stop there.
19:24I know the way.
19:25I don't want a light.
19:30We can't let him go. We must have that bottle.
19:33We can't take it by force.
19:34Oh, can't I? I'll take it by any force. I'll have it at any price.
19:37Are you afraid of an old man, you coward?
19:39I'm not afraid of him. I'm afraid of what you might do.
19:41Didn't you hear him say you care?
19:43He's gonna have the mounds all cleared off.
19:45The old place rummage.
19:46Let me get after him.
19:47Don't!
19:48Don't!
19:49Don't!
19:58Eek!
19:59Oh, now you're perpendicular again.
20:00What was in that box you found?
20:17Now you're perpendicular again.
20:25What was in that box you found?
20:27In that box, Mr Venus, was a will.
20:32John Harmon's will.
20:47John Harmon's will.
21:17John Harmon's will.
21:47John Harmon's will.
21:49John Harmon's will.
21:51John Harmon's will.
21:53When they find me dead, it'll be by one of my own sort.
21:59One of the workers are among the lights, John.
22:03I cannot see the lights now, but they're there.
22:11I'm thankful for all.
22:21Oh.
22:23Oh.
22:25Are you an angel?
22:47I'm an angel.
22:49Have I been dead long?
22:51No, I'm not an angel.
22:52I'm going home from work.
22:53What work, dear?
22:55Work?
22:57Work at the paper mill.
22:59Dare I lift you?
23:01Paper?
23:03Letter.
23:04You want me to read it?
23:05Bless you.
23:07I know these names.
23:08Mr and Mrs Boffin.
23:09I've heard them often.
23:11You'll send it, do you?
23:12Will I send it to the writers?
23:13Is it your wish?
23:14It is, certainly.
23:15It is, certainly.
23:16Don't let the parish touch me, or even look at me.
23:18Promise.
23:19What's your name, dear?
23:21My name's Lizzie Exum.
23:22Are you?
23:23I know these names.
23:24I know these names.
23:25Mr and Mrs Boffin.
23:26I know these names.
23:27Mr and Mrs Boffin.
23:28I've heard them often.
23:29You'll send it, do you?
23:30Will I send it to the writers?
23:31Is it your wish?
23:32Yes, certainly.
23:33Don't let the parish touch me, or even look at me.
23:36Promise.
23:37What's your name, dear?
23:39My name's Lizzie Exum.
23:42Are you afraid to kiss me?
23:51No, let me up to heaven, dear.
24:05Now, erm, all is safe and quiet.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Let's...
24:13Let's see this discovery.
24:17Yeah.
24:20Right here.
24:23I, John Armand, inasmuch as I never made friends and have a rebellious family,
24:30leave to Nicodemus Boffin the little mound and the whole west and residue of my property...
24:37To the crown.
24:39To the crown.
24:40That's it.
24:41Has the date of this will been proved?
24:43I've checked up on everything.
24:45The question now is, who's going to take care of you?
24:52I am.
24:53Now, that's a mistake, Mr. Wegg.
24:55I am.
24:56Oh, now.
24:58Now, I don't have any words with you, Wegg.
25:01Still less do I want any anatomical pursuits with you.
25:04What do you mean?
25:06Now, I mean, partner, but it's hardly possible for a man to feel in a more amiable state towards another man than I do towards you at this present time.
25:15But I'm on my own ground.
25:17I'm surrounded by the trophies of my art, and my tools is very handy.
25:23Hmm.
25:25I like my art, and I know how to exercise my art.
25:31None better.
25:32Over there is a lovely composite that I made up from several, which, as you can see, still needs a pair of arms.
25:46Now, I'm not saying that I'm in any owie for them.
25:52You must be wondering in your mind, partner.
25:55I give you the box and the label to take care of, but I take care of the paper.
26:06Oh, well, then.
26:08What's life without trustfulness?
26:10What's a fallen man without honor?
26:13You're welcome to it, partner, in the spirit of trust and confidence.
26:25I might sometimes have turned the mangle for a bit harder, and it cuts me deep to think so now.
26:35We are all more or less remiss at turning at our respective mangle.
26:39Oh, she was, sir.
26:41She went through with whatever duty she had to do.
26:45She was, she was a woman.
26:50And a mother.
26:52And a mangler in a billion, billion times.
27:10I must go back to my work now.
27:11But I shall be glad to see you before you catch your train.
27:13We'll wait for you at the inn.
27:16Do you like Lizzie Hexen, Mr. Hoaxman?
27:17Yes, I think highly of her.
27:18I'm glad.
27:19She's a sweet girl with such refined beauty.
27:20Yes, her appearance is good.
27:21Yes, her appearance is good.
27:22Yes, I think highly of her.
27:23Yes, I think highly of her.
27:24do you like Lizzie Hexon Mr. Oaksmith? yes I think highly of her. I'm glad. she's a
27:46sweet girl with such refined beauty. yes her appearance is striking. but a shade
27:51of sadness is on her. yes I hope it is not the result of that false accusation of
27:56murder against her father. but that's been retracted. yes
28:02oh thank you Miss Wolfe.
28:09Mr. Oaksmith don't be stern with me. I force myself to be constrained in case
28:17you might misinterpret my being more natural. there it's gone. thank you please
28:25sit down.
28:29forgive me. forgive me. we were talking of Lizzie. do you remember in her letter to
28:39Mrs. Boffin telling her of Betty Higdon's death? well she insisted that her name
28:43and where she is living be kept secret. well Mr. Boffin has asked me to discover
28:47why. I have also to find out if I can whether that retracted accusation still
28:53leaves any stain on her. I understand. well she seems to like you and you like her.
29:00so perhaps you could speak to her before we leave. I shall be happy to be of the
29:05least use. I feel after today that I'm useless enough in this world. my dear Miss
29:09Wolfe and nobody is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it for
29:13anyone else. Mr. Rugsmith it's so long since we spoke naturally together that I
29:19I feel embarrassed to approach you on another subject. Mr. Boffin. yes. I'm very
29:26grateful to him and and feel a true respect for him which makes it hard to
29:30talk about him but does he treat you well? you see how he treats me. yes and I see it with pain.
29:38and it often makes me miserable in case you should think that I approved of it and
29:46miserable because I cannot bear admitting to myself that fortune is spoiling Mr.
29:51Boffin. oh Miss Wilfer to know that fortune is not spoiling you more than
29:56compensates me for any slight at others hands. don't speak of me you don't know me
30:01as well as... as well as you know yourself. do you know yourself? I know quite enough
30:10about myself and I don't improve upon acquaintance. but Mr. Boffin...
30:15yes Mr. Boffin. his attitude to me is not what it used to be it is too plain to be denied.
30:21please promise me you won't be hurt by what I'm going to say now. I promise with
30:25all my heart. sometimes it must lower you in your own estimation. I have very good
30:31reasons Miss Wilfer for bearing with the drawbacks of my present situation. I have
30:36noticed Mr. Rokesmith that you force yourself to be passive. I have a purpose. a
30:41good one I hope. a good one I hope. you do seem to have a great regard for
30:46Mrs. Boffin. oh I would do anything in the world for her. bear anything for her.
30:50there are no words to express how I feel about that good good woman. and you must
30:54see how she suffers at the change in Mr. Boffin. yes I see it every day and I'm
30:59grieved by it. it's unusual for me to speak with someone of my own age and so
31:06pretty as you. it's a pleasure for me to look at you. it's a pleasure for me to look
31:10at you Lizzy. now you wish to know why I live here secretly and whether I'm still
31:16hurt by the false charge against my father. I know the subject must be
31:20painful to you Lizzy but I'm mixed up in it also. I'm the willed away girl who was
31:25to have married the murdered gentleman. so you see I was dragged into it
31:27without my consent and you were dragged into it without your consent so there's
31:30very little to choose between us. but can you tell me who my unknown friend is? the
31:35one who caused the charge against father to be contradicted and sent me the paper.
31:38I have no notion. I should have been glad to thank him. now you ask us this business anything to do
31:45with my wishing to live secretly? no. you have a brother I've been told. yes may I ask
31:55do you have any friend of your own sex and age? no I've never had one. nor have I. I wish you could make a friend of me Lizzy.
32:03do you think you could?
32:05oh now tell me my dear what is the matter? and why do you live alone like this?
32:13you must have many lovers. me? I haven't one. not one? never mind me. I want to hear about you.
32:20there is a certain man. a passionate and angry man. who says he loves me and who I believe does love me.
32:30I shrank from him when my brother first brought him to me. but the last time I saw him he terrified me more than I can say.
32:37did you come here to escape from me? yes. were you afraid of him here?
32:40I'm not a timid person. but I'm always afraid of him. I'm afraid to see a newspaper or to hear a word spoken of what he's done in London in case he's done some violence.
32:50so you're not afraid of him for yourself? it would be if I met him here. are you afraid of what he might do to himself in London?
32:55no I don't think you'd do that. well then it seems to me my dear is if there's somebody else.
33:00the words are always in my ears. and the blow he struck upon the stone as he said them is always before my eyes.
33:07mistress don't let go! his hand was trickling down with blood as he said to me.
33:12then I hope I may never kill him. kill him? why is this man so jealous then?
33:18I hardly know how to tell you. of a gentleman far above me and my way of life.
33:25he broke my father's death to me and has shown an interest in me ever since.
33:29does he love you? does he admire you? is it through his influence you came to live here?
33:34no. and I wouldn't have him know that I am here. Lizzie dear why?
33:41foolish question.
33:43there are memories in my life that I wish to forget.
33:57and I hope in time I may wear them out.
33:59wear out this weakness you have for a man who's not worthy of it.
34:02no! I don't want to wear that out.
34:05nor do I believe that he's not worthy of it.
34:08what should I gain by that? how much should I lose?
34:12well you wouldn't have to live here secretly and be cut off from your natural and wholesome prospects.
34:16surely that would be a gain.
34:17does a woman who truly loves seek to gain anything?
34:23you put me to shame.
34:27you said you would lose Lizzie.
34:30would you mind telling me what you'd lose?
34:33I should lose some of the best encouragements of my daily life.
34:37I should lose the belief that if I had been his equal and he'd loved me
34:41I would have tried with all my might to make him better and happier.
34:44I should lose the value of the little learning I have which is all due to him.
34:50I should lose a kind of picture of what he might have been if I had been a lady and he'd loved me.
34:55I should leave off prizing the remembrance that he has done me nothing but good
35:01and made a change within me.
35:04like the change in these hands that were once coarse and cracked
35:08and are now softened and made supple by this new work.
35:11oh but understand me my dear.
35:15I have no more dreamed of the possibility of being his wife than he ever has.
35:20and words could not be stronger than that.
35:25and yet I love him.
35:29I love him so much and so dearly.
35:31his eyes may never look at me again.
35:40but I would not have the light of them taken out of my life for anything my life can give me.
35:45I've told you everything now my dear.
35:51you shame me.
35:54shall I tell you what I see down there where the fire is glowing?
35:57a limited little brute.
35:59a heart well worth winning.
36:01and well won.
36:02and once one goes through fire and water for the winner
36:05never changes
36:06is never daunted.
36:07and the figure to which it belongs
36:09is yours.
36:10no.
36:12most clearly and distinctly yours.
36:16we've had a long tour.
36:21she gave me her confidence.
36:24she could not withhold it.
36:28how strange.
36:32it's just what she said.
36:35if you wished to win anyone's confidence you would be sure to do it.
36:40beautiful stars.
36:43glorious night.
36:46yes.

37:31to Mr. Wegg? Only the present company, sir. Ah, present company. Now, now, sir. Thank you. Sir, I, um,
37:47I must confess that I, um, I fell in with a proposal of which you was the subject. Oh. Now,
37:56I've, I went along with it because, well, I was in a quashed state of mind at the time,
38:03on account of being rejected by a lady. Oh. I should have made known the details of the
38:08proposal to you immediately. I didn't. Not that I was ever hearty in it, or viewed myself with
38:15anything but reproach for ever having turned away from the, uh, paths of science to the paths of,
38:20uh, Wegg away. Ah, gotcha. And now I've prepared your mind in the wuff, I will articulate the details.
38:28Yeah. Weg asked me to search your dust mans because I've got two good legs and he got stuck.
38:38And, uh, that night after you'd taken that bottle, he showed me this will he'd found.
38:45If I am ever called upon for the truth, I tell it, but I want to do no more than I have now done
38:56and end it. I believe I've astonished you, sir. Yeah, quite so. You say you both saw me digging up
39:06a Dutch bottle? Why you dug up the bottle and took it away, sir, is best known, uh, to yourself. I'm
39:13proud of my calling, sir, and I mean to live by my calling. Putting it into other words, I do not
39:21intend to turn a single dishonest penny out of this affair, and as amends to you for ever
39:26having gone into it in the first place, I give you as a warning what Wegg has found out. In my
39:33opinion, sir, Weg is not to be silenced at a modest price. Thank you, Mr. Venus. Oh. Thank you,
39:41Venus. Thank you, Venus. Here we now. Look here, Venus. If I am to buy Weg off, as you suggest,
39:50I won't buy him any the cheaper for you being out of it. Instead of him having half the money,
39:56that was the arrangement, I suppose, sure and sure like. Yes, it was to have been. Yes, well,
40:00instead of that, he'll now have all. I shall pay the same, if not more. Because you tell me he's,
40:08he's a ravenous rascal. Oh, he is, sir, he is. When does he threaten to drop down on me? As soon
40:15as the dust mounds are cleared, sir. I suppose there's no doubt about the authenticity of this
40:23confounded will. None whatever, sir. Well, where might it be at the present? In my position, sir.
40:28Is it? Yes, sir. Mr. Venus, I don't suppose for a liberal sum, you'd put it in a fire? No, sir.
40:37No, give it to me. Well, that's the same thing, sir. No, sir. Here. That's Weg now, sir. Get behind that
40:45young alligator in the corner, sir, and listen and judge him for yourself. Weg is well acquainted with the
40:53alligator, so he won't take any particular notice on you. Draw your legs in, Mr. Poppin, and get your head
40:58behind his smile. He's a bit dusty, but he's wary like you in tone. Coming! Coming!
41:06Coming! Help me! Partner, just help me. Oh, there's nothing to boast about. Your soul's too large for your body,
41:20that's what it is, and it has stuck in trade, partner. Do you wish to see it? If you please,
41:25partner. I wish to see it jointly with yourself. Well, put it up here because you can't trust nobody
41:30in the rest of your body. No, no. There we are. There. All right, sir. I suppose there's nothing new?
41:42There he is. There he is. That foxy old grasper and griper. Mr. Boffin? Mr. B-Bloed Boffin,
41:49Dusty Boffin. There's foxy old grantor and grinder. He sent a menace to the yard. A young man by the name of
41:55Sloppy, I says to him. Now, this is a private yard. He pulls out a paper from Boffin. This is to
42:01authorize Sloppy to overlook the carting away of the mounds and to watch the work. Now, that's pretty
42:07strong, I think, Mr. Venus. Well, Mr. Boffin doesn't yet know of our claim on the property. Then we
42:12must give him a hint to jog his terrors a bit. Oh, I can't contain myself every time I look at that
42:18Boffin. Every time I see him putting his hand in his pocket, I'll feel him putting it into my pocket.
42:22Flesh and blood can't bear it. No, I'll go further. A wooden leg can't bear it.
42:27Well, it was your idea that he shouldn't be exploded on until the mounds were moved, Mr. Wick.
42:32Yeah. Now, I could consider his planting one of his menial tools in the yard an act of sneaking and
42:38sniffing, and his nose should be put to the grindstone for it. How do you propose to do that,
42:42Mr. Wick? I propose to insult him openly. And if he should dare to answer, I shall say to him
42:48another word, you dusty old beggar, and you're done for. I suppose he says nothing.
42:56Then I'll break him. I'll put him in harness and drive him. And the more old Dusty's driven,
43:04the more he'll pay. And I mean to be paid high, Mr. Venus.
43:07You speak revengefully, Mr. Wick.
43:10Revengefully, sir. Is it for him that I've declined and fooled night after night?
43:16Is it for his pleasure that I've waited at home of an evening?
43:19Like a set of skittles to be stood up and knocked down by whatever balls or books he chose to bring
43:25against me? Didn't I sit in all weathers, selling any ballads for a living?
43:29Am I to be trampled in the dust by the likes of him?
43:31No, no, no, no, no. Well, your looks tell me I'll be more savage than usual.
43:40Well, I've written on you. And I feel better now for it.
43:44The song says, when the heart of man is depressed for cares,
43:49the mist is dispelled if Venus appears.
43:53Like the notes of a fiddle use,
43:56the sweetly search of a thing,
44:00right it has with its penchiles,
44:04all our ears say.
44:08That's a treacherous, dreadful fella.
44:23Shut the door, sir.
44:26I have something to say to you that you won't find pleasant to hear.
44:32Now, sir,
44:33look at this young lady.
44:37I do, sir.
44:39How dare you come out of your place and your station in my house
44:43and best of this young lady with your impudent attentions?
44:48It was sheer insolence of you even to think of this young lady.
44:51This young lady's far above you.
44:53This young lady is in the market for a good bid.
44:56She's not to be snapped up by fellas with no money.
44:59Mr. Stephen, please say something for me.
45:01Oh, lady, hold your tongue.
45:02Now, Bella, it's all right.
45:04I'll make it all right for you.
45:06But you wrong me, wrong me.
45:07Now then, Rokesmith, you heard me say that you were insolent.
45:10I believe this young lady told you so herself.
45:12Well, I've asked him to forgive me since
45:14and I would ask him on my knees again if it would spare him.
45:17Bella, my dear, hear what I have to say.
45:20This Rokesmith is a needy young man
45:23that I took on as my secretary out of the kindness of my heart.
45:29Then this Rokesmith finds out I mean to settle a sum of money on this young lady.
45:33Oh, oh, says Rokesmith.
45:36Here's a good all.
45:38So he begins making up to this young lady,
45:40creeping towards the money.
45:43And if this young lady had not had such good sense by George,
45:46he might have married her.
45:48But fortunately, she was too bright for him.
45:52And what a pretty figure you cut now.
45:53I'd like to say something of the truth.
45:58Truth? Ha!
45:59Much I care about your truth.
46:00To Mrs. Boffin and to Miss Wilfer.
46:03I have borne with my false position here
46:05so that I might not be separated from Miss Wilfer.
46:08To be near her has been a recompense to me
46:11for the undeserved treatment I have had here.
46:15But since Miss Wilfer rejected me,
46:16I have never again urged my suit with a word or look.
46:20But my devotion to her has not changed
46:22except, if she will forgive me saying so,
46:25it is deeper and better founded.
46:29My feelings for her are not one to be ashamed of.
46:32I love her.
46:34She is more to me than riches.
46:38You schemer.
46:41Luckily, Bella, my dear, he had you to deal with.
46:43And now he's done for himself.
46:45Isn't that right, Bella, my love?
46:50Well, Rokesmith,
46:51there's your wages.
46:56I dare say you can stoop for them
46:59after what you've stooped to here.
47:02I've stooped to nothing here
47:04except this.
47:07And this is mine,
47:08for I've earned it.
47:09You're a quick packer, I hope.
47:11Because the sooner you're off the premises,
47:13the better for all parties.
47:14You need have no fear of my lingering.
47:18Mrs. Boffin,
47:19for your unvarying kindness,
47:21I thank you with the warmest gratitude.
47:24Goodbye, Miss Wolfer.
47:26Goodbye.
47:27Now, my dear,
47:27you can begin to make yourself comfortable.
47:29I hope you feel you've been righted.
47:30Let somebody please make me poor again
47:33or my heart will break.
47:37Mr. Rokesmith, don't go.
47:41Pa, dear, make me poor again
47:43and take me home.
47:46Just let me speak to dear, good little pa.
47:50Nobody else knows me.
47:52Nobody else understands me.
47:54Nobody else knows how unworthy I am
47:56but yet could love me like a little child.
48:02I hate you!
48:08At least I can't hate you,
48:09but I don't like you.
48:12I've hurt you with shame
48:14for you and for myself.
48:16If any true friend could make you bankrupt,
48:19you would be an angel.
48:21As a man of property,
48:22you're a demon.
48:26Mr. Rokesmith,
48:30your only fault is that you laid yourself open
48:33to be slighted by
48:34a shallow girl who didn't realise your worth.
48:44It's very much shamefully of you
48:46that I'm the cause of it.
48:50Wow!
48:52I must go home.
48:53I'm going for all you've done for me,
48:56but I can't stay here.
48:58My darling.
48:59I can't stay.
49:02Oh, you vicious old thing.
49:05Your money has changed you to marble.
49:08Mr. Rokesmith's worth a million of you.
49:11I must go home for good.
49:12You're sure to be sorry for it?
49:13I shall never be sorry for that.
49:15If you go now, you're going to have a comeback.
49:18And don't you expect a blast falling from me?
49:20No power on earth
49:22could make me take it.
49:25Oh, dear.
49:27Best of dears.
49:29I shall never forget you.
49:35I'm glad I called you names, sir.
49:38Because you richly deserved it.
49:41But I'm sorry too.
49:43Because you used to be so different.
49:45Good-bye.
49:50My dear, is that a new dress you have on?
49:52No, Pa.
49:53An old one.
49:54Don't you remember it?
49:55Yes, I thought I remembered it.
49:57You should, because you bought it for me.
49:58Yes, I thought I bought it for you, my dear.
50:01Pa, don't be cast down.
50:04But I must tell you something disagreeable.
50:06Good gracious.
50:06Here's Mr. Rokesmith.
50:07No, Pa. Surely not.
50:09Oh, my dear, dear girl.
50:16I knew you would come to your father and I followed you.
50:19Oh, my life.
50:21My love.
50:23You are mine, aren't you?
50:24Yes.
50:26I am yours if you think me worth taking.
