Your flight would spread the whole truth far and wide

It will be impossible to save the family credit for a day

It is not to be thought of

Rosa, come here, child

Yes, m'lady?

What would you say if, after all,

I let Mr Rouncewell take you away and have you educated to be his son's wife?

I thought Your Ladyship wanted to keep me as long as possible But circumstances have changed

You do like Mr Rouncewell's son?

Yes, m'lady

I have been selfish wanting to keep you for myself

I shall be very sorry to lose you, Rosa

Dear Esther

Dearest Esther

My very dear girl

No

My very dear Esther

I hope what I write

will not come

as

too much of a surprise to you

I'm sorry, do I disturb you? No

No, not at all What is it, Esther?

Er

I should like your permission to make a short visit to London

You remember Caddy Jellyby, who married Mr Turveydrop from dancing school?

Well, she tells me she's going to have a baby Ah!

And Ada would like to come with me, of course She wants to see how Richard is getting on

So have we your permission?

Yes, yes !

I had hoped by now I

Well, never mind Esther, of course you have my permission

My very best wishes to young Mrs Turveydrop

Thank you

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!

Sorry, Mr Tulkinghorn's engaged

FRENCH ACCENT: I will see him Let me pass!

I'm very sorry, Mr Tulkinghorn

I have had a great deal of trouble to find you, sir Have you?

He's not at home, he's engaged, he's this and that, he's not for you

Well, you're here now What have you to say?

Zat you have not used me well

You have been mean and shabby

I 'elped you to trap my mistress the dress the boy recognised You owe me something

I owe you nothing You performed a service and you were paid for it

You promised to 'elp me You said you would find me a good position

I said I would consider it

Having considered it, I decided against it,

because I judge your temperament to be too fiery to be suitable for a lady's maid

With a lady who was kind to me, I could be as meek as a queen dove

Ha ! I think not!

Then you will do nothing for me?

Nothing at all Then you had better beware !

No, YOU had better beware

If you come here again, you may find yourself taken by the police,

strapped on a board and carried through the streets for all to see

What do you think of that? I dare you to do it!

Don't put me to the test, young woman

Rubbish

Rubbish Good day, Mr Smallweed Rent! Er

In due course, Mr Smallweed, as promised Now, or you're out!

Now we'll have some fun, Judy

Rubbish Rubbish

Rubbish !

Mr Smallweed,

I cannot make my key turn in the door Oh, dear

And why is that, I wonder( ? )

Cos I had the lock changed, that's why!

Mr Smallweed, you cannot do this to me ! Done it, ain't I ? Done it!

But my things, my

My poor little birds !

What have you done with them ? In the alley You're lucky I didn't wring their necks

You're lucky I didn't bite their little heads off!

Well, go on then Hook sling it!

No come backy!

But, Mr Smallweed, I

Where am I to go?

What do I care about that?

Who do you think I am , the Christmas Spirit?

Hop it! Out! One two, one two ! Judy, take the broom Chase her out

Right you are, Grandad

There she goes

Ooh Oh, my bones

Shake me up, Judy

So, as you see, we're managing very well

We've got more pupils than ever before, and Prince has taken on three apprentices,

and I've learned myself to play the piano well enough to get by

But how will you manage when the baby comes? But we will manage, somehow

I'm sure you will, Caddy

It was you who got me started on trying to make something out of myself

I'm ashamed to think of what I was like when you first met me,

unpolite and inky and not a good word to say to anybody!

Maybe you don't see much of a difference now, but if there is it's thanks to you, Esther

No!

No, you've done it yourself, Caddy

I wish I could say I'd done as much with my life as you have with yours

Oh !

Oh, Lord ! Mrs Guppy? Is Mr Guppy at home?

Mrs Guppy, may I come in?

Miss Summerson !

This is indeed an honour SNIGGERING Mother!

I took the liberty of sending you a note, Mr Guppy You did

And I have it here

Mother, please

I do beg your pardon, Miss Summerson

Perhaps I could speak to you alone for a moment Mother?

I came here rather than to the office because I did not want to cause you any embarrassment,

remembering what you said to me on another occasion

Oh Yes

Er

Forgive me, was you referring to the occasion when I , erm

made a declaration

( Oh, Lord ) Erm , I feel a little giddy

It's very hot and close in here

Where was I ? You were saying that you made a declaration, Mr Guppy,

a declaration of love, and a proposal of marriage Which you turned down You did

You won't object to admit that I don't object You proposed and I turned you down

There's no doubt about that Thank you, miss I , er

regret that my arrangements in life combined with circumstances beyond my control

will make it impossible for me ever to renew that offer in any shape or form

That's quite all right, Mr Guppy

I'm very sorry, truly I am ,

but it couldn't be Now, could it?

You know?

But the memory of it will stay with me

Mr Guppy, please stop I want to tell you why I came to see you

I beg your pardon Please do

When you asked me to marry you Which proposal has been repudiated

you also said that you might be able to help me by making enquiries into my birth and my ancestry Yes

Yes, and I have already made some discoveries I want you to stop,

Mr Guppy

I have been told all the circumstances of my birth,

so I would be very grateful if you would make no further enquiries

Is that all? Yes, Mr Guppy, that's all

Then, Miss Summerson,

upon my soul, you may rely upon me

in every respect

Esther! Ada ! What's the matter? I thought you were with Richard

I went to his lodgings at the time we arranged, but they said he'd gone out and they didn't know where

Where else but the court?

Another adjournment? Again, nothing done ! Nothing !

Nothing done ! No, no, sir

Don't say, "Nothing done, " sir That is scarcely fair

We have our shoulders to the wheel, and the wheel is going round

The wheel goes round, but it does need oiling from time to time

Yes, indeed Which reminds me, there are some bills for you to sign, Mr Carstone

Let's go this way It's just a short step to my chambers

Ada ! Esther!

Whatever are you doing here?

Oh, Lord, it was today, wasn't it?

Ada, I'm so sorry

It doesn't matter I've found you now Am I forgiven?

Excellent! Now, I know a very good place to eat The devils on horseback are the best in London

Do you know, I heard the most extraordinary thing from Tulkinghorn

What was that? Our neighbour Boythorn

has been entertaining Mr John Jarndyce and the wards in Jarndyce

And what should that be to us?

Well, Mr Jarndyce is an old friend of yours, I understand

They should have been entertained here, not at that fellow Boythorn's place

I'm sure that Mr Jarndyce wouldn't have felt slighted in the least by not being invited here

Well, I disagree

I have written to Mr Jarndyce to invite them all

Welcome back, welcome back! It's been a Bleak House indeed without you to brighten it!

I think the wind has been in the east since you went away

We weren't away for long I know, but you were very much missed, both of you

Now, when you're both ready, supper is on the table

We have received an invitation from a very august personage

Sir Leicester Dedlock has invited all three of us to stay at Chesney Wold What do you think of that?

Why should he invite us?

He knows we are friendly with Mr Boythorn, and he hates Mr Boythorn

I know I was astonished myself But, do you know,

there's a degree of acquaintance from the past Didn't you meet Lady Dedlock,

when you went to look at the ghost walk? You must have made a great impression on her

and that the invitation comes from her rather than Sir Leicester I'm sure it does not

You are not intending to accept, are you?

Why not?

I couldn't possibly go

Why not? If Sir Leicester thinks you're good enough for Chesney Wold, who are you to disagree? I can't go

Esther!

KNOCK AT DOOR

Esther

I've come to tell you why we

why I at any rate cannot go to Chesney Wold

It is a secret, but I think I must tell you

Go on

I am Lady Dedlock's daughter

She told me so herself, and she also told me that we must never meet again

So, you see,

the invitation

It couldn't possibly have come from her

Esther, Esther! Poor, dear girl!

You must not tell anyone else ! Of course I shan't tell anyone else

What a burden it must have been to keep that secret

Worse for her Yes

Perhaps

Esther

there is a secret I have kept from you all these years, but now I think you should know

The lady who brought you up,

who entrusted you to my care

was Lady Dedlock's sister

Her sister?

But didn't you ever suspect?

Not for a moment I did think you might have been HER child, the sister's

That would have explained why she broke off with Boythorn so suddenly

So she sacrificed her life for me

I wish she had not

She never loved me

She was right it would have been better if I had never been born

But then, I would never have known you

would I ?

You have filled my life with joy

But you have changed my life, too Esther, let me go on now, or I shall never manage it

Our lives are changing

Rick has already left Bleak House, and Ada will not be with us much longer

But I hope

that you will want to stay here

with me

Yes, of course, if you wish it

Will you stay here

as the mistress of Bleak House?

As my wife?

I know the world will say I am far too old to offer myself as a husband for a young girl,

but I can't help what I feel, and I care for your feelings much more than the world's

There I've said it

I love you, Esther

Will you be my wife?

May I think about it for a little while?

Of course ! Of course

As long as you like

Thank you

You tell your policemen to seize me on the street and bring me here when I have done no crime

What justice is this?

You've been annoying respectable citizens, mademoiselle

It seems a friendly warning might be in order Who gives you your orders?

Is it my lady? Or is it that devil Tulkinghorn?

They are both as bad as each other

This is a free country! Where is liberate, egalite, fraternite?

You forget, mademoiselle, we haven't had no revolution here

I must ask you to write down your present address on this paper

so we can keep an eye on you

Unless you prefer to be clapped in irons tout de suite

All the same to me You're as bad as the worst of them Give me the pen

There

Much obliged, mademoiselle And that is all? I can go now?

Yes

Yes, I will

Aren't we all quiet this morning?

This is delicious, Esther No one makes blackberry jelly like yours Oh, indeed

Is something the matter? No, nothing's the matter

That is

Esther, could you come and see me in the growlery in a little while? Yes, of course

What is it? What's she done? Has she got the accounts all wrong?

No ! Nothing like that, Ada

I hate secrets

So do I

Why didn't you tell her?

Tell her what, exactly?

That we are engaged to be married

I wasn't sure I Esther, I have had an anxious night of it

Are you sure this is what you really want?

Yes !

Or I would not have said so

You wouldn't have rather carried on as we were?

I WAS surprised when you asked me to marry you

You thought of me as a father

rather than as a lover Yes

But now I think I could learn to think about you in that other way

Truly? Yes

Truly

I don't know what marriage is like

I think perhaps no one does until they try it

And I think that you and I may do as well as others at it

Dear Esther!

But all the same,

I think you need time to accustom yourself to the idea,

and so for now I think it's best if we continue as we were

At least, that is, as far as others are concerned

And not tell Ada Not for the present If you should change your mind I shan't go back on my word!

Humour me in this, Esther

Very well

And now I have my work to do

What an inspiring sight!

Captain Carstone ! And where is it to be now, hmm ?

China? The West Indies?

The Hindu Kush? We shall be quartered at Deal for the time being

Oh Not TOO dangerous, then !

Not dangerous at all

Except to the pocket

I've been wondering whether it might be best to sell out,

after all

Dear me I am sorry to hear that, Mr Carstone

Well, there are so many expenses Mess bills, stabling

one or two debts of honour

Ah, yes Regarding which, if you would be so good as to

Thank you If I could only have some assurance of a speedy settlement

Ah, Mr Carstone

you know me, I think

I am not the man to give assurances when the facts are not certain

Ah, what a man, eh?

What a fellow What integrity!

Yes

Yes, you're a good man, Mr Vholes, a true friend

SHOULD I sell out, do you think?

You might think that the best course

You might very well think that

But I would not wish to influence you one way or the other

I am afraid that he has no present means at all

Even if he sells out, that money will be eaten up in debts he has incurred in the service

Meanwhile, I have three daughters to support

and an aged father in the Vale of Taunton

How are they to be fed?

Now you mention it,

I've always found an application to Mr John Jarndyce rarely goes amiss

But Mr Carstone has broken with him , has he not?

Perhaps he has

But I fancy my friend Jarndyce has not broken with HIM

# Oh, what care I for house and land?

# What care I for treasure oh?

# What care I for my newly wedded lord?

# I'm away with the raggle taggle Gypsies oh #

Very pretty

Sir!

You startled me

You like your work here, Rosa? Yes, sir

My lady is kind to you?

Very kind, sir

She is fond of you, I think Rosa?

My lady!

Rosa, will you fetch my book?

I think it is in the little sitting room Yes, m'lady

What were you saying to her?

Nothing

Merely passing the time of day

I don't like your speaking to her

She is a very agreeable young woman,

and I believe she loves you dearly

I wonder what she would think of you if she heard of your disgrace

You will have to forgo that pleasure, Mr Tulkinghorn, as I have decided to send her away

No, you will not do that

Do you presume to tell me how to run my household?

We have an agreement, you and I

You will not draw attention to yourself by doing anything out of the ordinary

I understand that you wish to protect your little favourite from the taint of association with you,

but it will not do, Lady Dedlock

If any action is to be taken, I will decide what and when

Not you

Oh, my bones !

Go steady, there, you brimstone beasts ! Let me out, you Ooh

Judy, shake me up

Afternoon, Mr Smallweed

What brings you here? Just a friendly call, George

How's business? Quiet

That's a pity I've come to call in your debt, George

What are you talking about? That debt was settled, and you know it

Oh, no, George, I don't think it was

Settled? No, no, no, no Look here �2 43 7 s 2d and 3 farthings still owing

Your memory must be playing tricks on you, my old friend You promised me if I supplied a letter

with the Captain's writing on it it would put me straight and clear, and I did it Against my conscience

And now you tell me I'm not straight and clear after all? That's about the size of it

Cruel world, innit?

You little bloodsucker, I'll give you "cruel world"

I'll snap your neck for you ! That debt was settled, and you know it

No, George, it's not me, it's him ! I'm just the messenger! He sent me to tell you

Who sent ya? Oh, my bones!

For pity's sake, George !

Mr Tulkinghorn
