07:18Stephen you were going without saying goodbye I thought it best
07:23what else is
07:29Stephen you know my heart
07:33I feel like to die
08:03I'm glad I found you here alone, Mrs. Barnaby.
08:06There is something I would like to talk to you about.
08:10It's about your brother, my young friend, Tom.
08:14What about him?
08:15I have an interest in him.
08:17I'm surprised you have an interest in anything, Mr. Harthouse.
08:20If you'd have said that before I came here, I would have agreed with you.
08:26But I've changed.
08:28What about my brother?
08:30I know you don't want to hear this,
08:33but I think that young Tom has become a little wild,
08:39a little dissipated, wouldn't you say?
08:44Yes.
08:45Do you think he gambles?
08:48I know he does.
08:49And you make up his losses?
08:52Yes.
08:53He's borrowed a lot from you?
08:55When I married, Tom was heavily in debt.
08:58I sold some of my trinkets.
09:01It was no great sacrifice.
09:03They were worthless to me.
09:05But he keeps wanting more.
09:07There's one great fault in Tom I can't forgive.
09:10His treatment of you.
09:13What you've done for him demands his love and gratitude,
09:17not his bad temper.
09:21I'm going to try and make him change,
09:24if I can.
09:25I don't know.
09:37Ah, Tom.
09:39What are you doing?
09:41Dreaming of some beautiful creature?
09:44Well, not unless the beautiful creature had a fortune I could get my hands on.
09:48You're mercenary, Tom.
09:50Who isn't?
09:52Gem, I'm in a horrible mess.
09:55My sister could have got me out of it if she tried.
09:59You've already had money from her.
10:02How do you know that?
10:05She told me.
10:06Well, you have, haven't you?
10:10Where else am I going to get it?
10:12My father won't lift a finger.
10:13My mother's never had anything except her illnesses.
10:17Lou could help me easily, but she won't.
10:20My dear Tom, let me help you.
10:22How much do you need?
10:24Nothing.
10:26Nothing.
10:29I wish I'd known you sooner.
10:31In that case, there is something you can do for me.
10:36I want you to be kinder to your sister.
10:40To Lou?
10:40Yes.
10:41As a favour to me.
10:46I will.
10:47You see, you're the only creature she cares for.
10:51My coat!
10:52My coat!
10:53What is it?
10:54The bank was robbed last night.
10:56Tom, you go for the police!
10:57Who's your...
10:58Out of my way!
10:59Josiah, I'd like to come with you.
11:01You look as pale as a ghost, my dear.
11:03It does you credit.
11:04My loss is your loss.
11:08Robbed!
11:09Robbed with a false key!
11:11How much?
11:12Well, not by so very much, but it might have been...
11:15One hundred and fifty pounds.
11:16One hundred and fifty-four pounds, eighteen shillings and sixpence.
11:19No interruption, sir.
11:22Don't forget that I was robbed while you were snoring.
11:25It might have been twenty thousand.
11:26I suppose it might.
11:27Suppose?
11:28It might have been twice twenty, but for the fellas being disturbed.
11:30Is there a suspect?
11:32Of course, there's a suspect when Josiah Bundabee's been robbed.
11:35There has to be a suspect.
11:36A mill hand, sir.
11:37We saw him waiting outside.
11:39Not our friend Blackpot.
11:41Blackpool.
11:42That's the scoundrel.
11:43And there was that old woman.
11:45Ah, the two of a minute together.
11:48It'll take time, but we'll have them.
11:50Huh?
11:50We'll have them.
11:51Thanks to Mrs. Parsic's sharp eyes.
11:53Join us for dinner, ma'am.
11:55Thank you, sir.
11:56Well!
11:57Well!
12:03What do you say, Mr. Harthouse?
12:06Fellows who go in for banks must take the consequences.
12:09If there were no consequences, we'd all go in for banks.
12:24Don't be low, sir.
12:26Let me see you cheerful as you used to be.
12:29We'll try a hand of backgammon after dinner.
12:34I haven't played backgammon, ma'am, since you left.
12:38Ah, yes.
12:39Miss Gradgrind was never interested in the game.
12:47I'm sorry, Mr. Bundabee.
12:49Sissy sent word my mother's ill.
12:50I'd like to visit her tomorrow with Tom.
12:59I hope you don't mind.
13:01I was pouring Mr. Bundabee's wine as I used to.
13:04I'm sure Mrs. Bundabee will be glad to be relieved of the trouble.
13:07Oh.
13:09That's unkind, sir.
13:10You don't mind, do you, Lou?
13:12Of course not.
13:13It's not important.
13:14Oh, you see, it's not important, ma'am.
13:18What's the matter?
13:19Have I offended you?
13:20Offended?
13:22How could you have offended me?
13:25I don't understand what you want me to do.
13:27Nothing!
13:31What could you possibly do for me?
13:35You're impossible this evening.
13:38Please don't trouble to explain yourself.
13:42It doesn't matter.
13:52Do you still take your glass of warm sherry with lemon peel and nutmeg, sir?
14:01No.
14:02I've got out of the habit.
14:04More's the pity, sir.
14:07You must let me prepare you a glass before I leave.
14:12You'd better stay, ma'am.
14:15My wife, it seems, will be away for a few days.
14:20Not that I'll notice the difference.
14:25Oh, dear.
14:36Tom, it's me.
14:40What is it, Lou?
14:42Is it about mother?
14:45We'll go and see her tomorrow.
14:55Tom, is there anything you want to tell me?
14:59I don't know what you're talking about, Lou.
15:01You've been dreaming.
15:03Do you think the man I gave the money to is a thief?
15:08I don't know.
15:10Go to bed, Lou.
15:14You're lying in the dark, Tom, so tell the truth.
15:18No one can hear us.
15:22Go to bed, Lou.
15:29I promise I'll help you, Tom.
15:32Just whisper in my ear.
15:38I've got nothing to whisper.
15:40Go to bed.
15:44Lou.
15:46Go to bed.
15:52Very well, Tom.
16:03Oh!
16:08Are you in pain, Mrs. Gregg-Grind?
16:13I think there's pain somewhere in the room.
16:16But I couldn't positively say I've got it.
16:22Don't leave me, Sissy.
16:24Where are you?
16:25I'm here.
16:26I'm here.
16:33Louisa learned a great deal in this house.
16:36So did her brother.
16:39Ologies of all kinds, morning to night.
16:42No ologies left that weren't want or rags.
16:46But, see, there was something.
16:49Not an ology.
16:51No, not an ology.
16:53That Mr. Gregg-Grind missed or forgot.
16:57Yes, Mrs. Gregg-Grind.
16:59I don't know what it was.
17:01I often sit here with you, Sissy, and think about it.
17:06Never forget its name now.
17:09Makes me restless.
17:10You must sleep now.
17:13Mr. Gregg-Grind will know.
17:16He'll know.
17:21Hello, Mother.
17:22Still on the sofa.
17:25Say hello to Tom, Mother.
17:50I only had a she-wolf for a mother.
17:53She didn't give me milk.
17:55Only bruises.
17:57It must have been very difficult for you.
18:00Any news of the robbery?
18:05I'm going over to Ketley with Bitzer.
18:08The police may have a line on my thief.
18:11I'll be away for the night.
18:13Would you like me to keep an eye on the house?
18:16Mrs. Spouse, it'll do that well enough.
18:19She's been uncommonly helpful.
18:23But, uh...
18:24Look in on Lou.
18:26She probably won't agree for her mother.
18:31Though I never did for mine, of course.
18:40I'm glad to see you, Mr. Harthouse.
18:43Thank you for talking to Tom.
18:45He has changed.
18:47I'm glad.
18:48For your sake.
19:24I had to tell you.
19:25Don't speak about it.
19:36You're my only hope.
19:37Before I met you, my life was a long desert.
19:41Worthless.
19:43Bought my way into the Dragoons.
19:45Bored.
19:46Trained as an English consulate.
19:48Bored.
19:49Strolled through Jerusalem.
19:50Bored.
19:50Sail the world.
19:51Bored.
19:52Now I'm trying politics.
19:53Bored.
19:53Until I find you.
19:58Look at me.
19:59I'm afraid.
20:02Everything's worthless without you.
20:04We can't.
20:05I want to throw it all away.
20:06Like dirt.
20:07No.
20:09Stay with me.
20:10Not in this house.
20:14Where?
20:16Not here.
20:18No.
20:37I've run with the Kirktown arms.
20:39No one will see you.
20:40This evening, my darling.
20:42We'll leave tonight.
20:49No.
20:50Let's go.
20:59I can't find you.
21:02Bye-bye.
21:02Bye-bye.
21:03Bye-bye.
21:05Luis-a.
21:07Luis-a, what are you doing here?
21:09I want to speak to you, Father.
21:11You're so, child. Were you out in the storm?
21:14Yes.
21:16What is it, child?
21:18What have you done to me?
21:19Done to you?
21:20You remember the last time we talked in this room?
21:22Yes.
21:23Why didn't you help me then?
21:25I tried.
21:25Why didn't you neglect me as a child?
21:27You taught me to suppress anything from the heart, so I suppressed it,
21:30and in return you gave me a husband I hate.
21:33Louisa.
21:34I have a hunger and a thirst on me.
21:36I must find a place where there are no numbers and no definitions.
21:40I never knew you were so unhappy.
21:42I always knew.
21:44But I thought my life would soon be over and nothing in it was worth fighting for.
21:49You're so young, Louisa.
21:50Young and dead.
21:52I'm married, but I never pretended I loved him.
21:55I did it for Tom.
21:56He's the only tenderness in my life.
21:58What can I do?
22:00I've met someone.
22:02I don't know how, but he understands me.
22:05I'm just surprised he should care for me when he cares for nothing else in the world.
22:09He cares for you, Louisa.
22:10Oh, I haven't done anything to disgrace you, Father.
22:13But if you ask me if I love him or not, I think the answer is yes.
22:18Perhaps I do.
22:20I do.
22:21Perhaps I do.
22:22Child, child.
22:23He's waiting for me now.
22:26I don't know if I'm glad, sorry, or ashamed.
22:30I only know your teaching won't help me now, Father.
22:34Find a way to save me, Father.
22:37Find a way.
22:40I'll die if you hold me.
22:43Let me fall!
22:48Down, down, down.
22:51You're on the last step down, my lady.
23:02How are you, Louisa?
23:05Better, Father.
23:09The ground I stand on breaks under my feet.
23:15I prove my system, at least to myself.
23:19So I must bear the responsibility of any failure.
23:24Believe me, Louisa, I only wanted to do right.
23:28I know you only wanted to make me happy.
23:35I don't blame you.
23:42People say there is a wisdom of the head
23:45and a wisdom of the heart.
23:48I didn't believe it.
23:51I thought the wisdom of the head was enough.
24:16Did I disturb you?
24:18No.
24:19Would you like me to stay with you?
24:22Yes.
24:28Why have I always hated you so much?
24:31I don't know.
24:33I think you changed just before you left home.
24:39Do you hate me?
24:41No, never.
24:43I've always loved you.
24:46Susie.
24:48Please.
24:49Please.
24:50Help me!
25:00Confess it.
25:04You're bored already.
25:23A young lady to see you, sir.
25:25Show her in, ma'am.
25:28Mr. Harthouse?
25:29Yes, the same.
25:31Do I have your word this visit is a secret?
25:33You have it, but I don't see where this conversation is going.
25:37It's about a lady.
25:38I've just left her.
25:39Where?
25:40At her father's.
25:42Ah, her father's.
25:45That's the way it is, is it?
25:46I must ask you.
25:47I must ask you to promise never to see her again as long as you live.
25:50Did she ask you to tell me?
25:51No.
25:52I don't doubt your sincerity, but I can't promise.
25:55There's no hope for you.
25:57Consider her dead.
25:59No.
26:03How can you take on such a responsibility on your own?
26:07I do it out of love.
26:09I know her character.
26:11Trust me, Mr. Harthouse.
26:12For some reason, I do.
26:15I'm not a moral sort of fellow.
26:18I've never made any pretense.
26:19I'm as immoral as need be.
26:21I never had any intentions of hurting the young lady
26:24or in taking advantage of the fact that her father's a machine,
26:29her brother's a whelp, her husband's a bore.
26:32I never had any evil intentions.
26:35I just did what I did without thinking.
26:37It seemed perfectly natural.
26:39I was bored.
26:41Will you give up seeing her?
26:43Yes.
26:44Why not?
26:48But I'd never have agreed if anyone else had come to ask.
26:52There's one more thing.
26:53More?
26:54I must ask you to leave her today and never come back.
26:57Come, come.
26:59Strange as it may sound,
27:00I'm here on public business.
27:02Well, political business for the Conservative Party.
27:05It's a fact.
27:07Fact or no fact,
27:08I must ask you to go.
27:10But it would make me look foolish just to up and leave.
27:13It's the honourable thing to do.
27:15And I know you'll do the honourable thing
27:17or else I wouldn't have come here.
27:20Honourable?
27:27I don't know what to say.
27:29I trust you, Mr. Harthouse.
27:31This is ridiculous.
27:36Well.
27:38There's no way out of it.
27:40What will be will be.
27:42And this is what will be, I suppose.
27:44You have my word.
27:46I'll go.
27:47Thank you, Mr. Harthouse.
27:49At least allow me the privilege of knowing my enemy's name.
27:53My name?
27:54It's Cis...
27:55Cecilia Duke.
27:57Are you related to the family?
27:59No, I'm just a girl from the circus.
28:01Ah.
28:02Just a girl from the circus.
28:14Another defeat.
28:17Another failure.
28:20It's one great pyramid of failure.
28:23What does it matter?
28:26I need a trip.
28:30Maybe up the Nile.
28:31Better write to my brother Jack.
28:36Dear Jack.
28:38All up in Coketown.
28:41Bored out of my mind.
28:44I'm going for camels.
28:49Affectionately, Jem.
29:28Bored out of my mind.
