Thank you.

Here, you two.

Come on, give us a hand with this, will you? I was thinking of money, mate.

Yeah.

Well,

why can't you wait until Mr. O 'Neill gets here?

There'd be no point.

The facts are the facts.

He's not going to change them.

He's not going to like it.

Here!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

They're supposed to be loaded. I'm not offloading them.

Here, get me a log.

Come on.

A bit of recalling, that's all.

And we've got it in hand.

The lad you hired says it's more than that. But we'll know at low tide when I

shall survey your hull.

Till then, those potatoes stay ashore.

Why?

We had a contract to carry them, Scorcher. Yes, providing your ship is

staunch and strong, which I have good reason to believe it is not. This is Mr.

McCormack, sir. He's the local... The local Lloyd Favere, representing Mr.

O'Dowd, the owner of those potatoes.

Well, if by not tight, staunch and strong you're referring to the corking

lost when we touched the bottom crossing your bar, then you should keep your

harbour mouth better dredged, shouldn't you?

The lad you hired to re -cork has come to me.

To say your planking's rotten.

Poppycock. Gentleman says he's going to survey the whole.

That's right.

Look, I do have some rather urgent business. Well, then, your business will

to wait.

I suggest you mind your business and let me mind mine, because what I'm

thinking, I can't wait.

What do they call it? A blessed date?

Perhaps because one needs the patience of a saint to endure.

So I should just be glad when it's all over.

Oh, not long now.

Then all this will seem as nothing to the sleepless nights and the complaints

a crying child.

Do you not find, Doctor, that people who have the advantage of experience in a

citable or enlightening one can sometimes be quite irreparable?

Oh, well, then let he do not come to me for advice as to why he will not feed or

what potions to give. You know I will.

Sarah, you said he.

Surely he still can't doubt it's going to be a boy.

Well, I hope so.

For James' sake.

Will Mr. O 'Neill be able to tell? Oh, I don't think even James would miss the

birth of his son, do you? No.

Well, I must away.

I'll come back in a few days.

In the meantime, you start to save your strength.

Let other folk do the running around.

Thank you. I promise.

Right then.

Dr. Osmond. Dr. Osmond. Till next week. Thank you, Dr. Ford.

Thank you.

It seems most delightful to me. Oh, what a comfortable kind of doctor.

I like him. Well, then, bearing in mind what he said about not worrying about

business, if any matter should occur, you must let me attend to them.

Now, I'm quite capable, so there's no point in arguing. It's quite impressive.

Well, not to have to go down to the warehouse would be a relief, I must say.

Exactly.

Now, what news of poor Charlotte?

She seems very well. Her Aunt Mary spoiled her a good deal.

Sometimes her letters are almost gay.

Thank the Lord for that.

You know, I don't think I'll ever get over the way William treated her.

If he'd be my son... Well, we must just try to ensure that... it doesn't ruin

her life.

Oh, Sarah.

What news of the election?

How Daniel Faring...

It's almost too early to say. Now, this might be a buyout for you, but it's

definitely going to win.

I hope you lose.

You don't mean that. Don't I?

It's not in your nature to be interested in a loser. Oh, better an honest loser

than a dissembler or a cheat. Is that what I am? You know it.

I know I've made no promises that I don't intend to keep.

And I mean to represent that ward in all good faith. Do you intend telling the

voters of your canal? No.

Because they wouldn't understand any more than you do. But you intend to rob

them of their jobs. How many more times do I have to tell you?

The Mersey Docks and Harbour Board and the railways have got Lancashire in a

vice. Now, their charges increase every day. They're a greater threat than any

ship canal.

Now, even James agrees that their monopoly must be broken or industry in

Lancashire will wither and die. And then where will Liverpool be? The Mersey

Docks and Harbour Board are not standing for election.

But Beaumont is.

Now, can you honestly tell me you'd rather he won?

Now are you satisfied?

No, sir, I'm not.

You're taking in a lot of water.

Look, why will you not accept the fact that it's just a corking? You and your

captain keep telling me that. But I am yet to be convinced.

You've been from stem to stern.

You've been inside.

You've been outside. And I shall do so again if I have to.

Lord, examine our ships once a year. We have responsibility for every ship

entering this port.

Ain't no problem around out there.

How can it spike into every bit of timber it can find?

I didn't know we was carrying livestock this trip, sir.

Well, there's a horse in the furrowed hole.

It's not the cargo manifest, I'm sure.

No, it's none of your damn business either.

It's none of my business, of course, but don't you think it's a bit premature,

is it?

What? A horse.

I mean, it's not the sort of thing you get for a girl, is it?

I'll tell you something, Baines.

If I'm landed with another daughter, I'll never... Who the devil are you?

O'Malley is the name, sir. I'm from the Board of Trade Marine Department.

Would one of you gentlemen be Captain Bates? That's me.

We've had two of your crew complaining about your ship.

They say they won't sail in her because she's a leaky old tub.

Captain, I've come to tell you I must survey your hull.

God save us. What next?

The whole world and its wife here next.

Well, why not? Bring your cousin.

Bring your uncles.

Bring your own family.

Lovely man.

There. Oh, Samuel, I'm not used to such gallantry.

Would you like another cushion for your head?

Oh, no.

I should be so comfortable I won't want to move.

According to Mother, nothing could do you more good.

Oh, you're being altogether too kind. You both are.

Nonsense.

Anyway, it's me who should be grateful to you.

The more there is to occupy Mother's time, the less she'll think of that

charlatan pilgrim, which could only be a blessing.

You know, Samuel, you do that very nicely.

I've no idea your accomplishment has extended so far.

Thank you, Aunt Lettie.

Now. Thank you.

You know, at the beginning of my confinement, I positively hated sugar.

Only at length it's become acceptable to me.

How desperate.

I wonder if Charlotte will be similarly afflicted.

Mother told me, only the other day, though.

Oh, I see.

Well, try not to think too badly of her, Samuel.

On the contrary.

She's been in my thoughts ever since.

She must be very lonely and frightened.

Her Aunt Mary is very good to her.

Oh, I know, but even so...

I know if it was me, I'd be desperately unhappy.

But to have to bear the whole world's censure alone.

Oh.

Well, that's a kind and generous thought, Samuel.

You know, when Charlotte comes back to us, she's going to need friends like

I shall have 12 ,000 printed and distributed throughout the ward.

But tell me what you think.

It will gain my vote.

Do you mean it all?

A politician must always mean what he says.

Will you wish me luck?

Are you not taking something of a risk, showing me things like this?

I don't think so.

You're my friend.

I'm sure I can rely on your discretion and sense of honour, just as I'm sure

would never betray your father's campaign to me.

He's fit not to tell me.

He either thinks we're still a child or not sufficiently interested.

Or perhaps he doesn't trust me in the way that you do.

Fathers and sons.

Yet you don't seem to have the same relationship with your father that I

with mine.

Happily, no.

But then we have had longer to come to terms with each other.

And I didn't have to meet my father as a stranger when I was already a man.

I'm sorry if our friendship places you in a difficult position.

If it does, it's hardly your fault.

I'm sorry, too. It's your father I'm fighting in this election.

But I do mean to win.

And that will be but a beginning.

I intend to raise a new Liverpool, William.

Like a phoenix out of the ashes.

Just think of it.

What opportunities there will be for those prepared to grasp them.

A veritable springtime of commerce.

And I shall want all my friends to share in my prosperity.

Even if they are my rival's son.

All right, so you can't decide whether the plants are rotten or what to do. It

is Mr. O'Malley here who can't agree with me. Are you with me? That doesn't

signify since I'm in the right. I don't agree. Exactly.

All right, friends.

Load those pods we'll sail tomorrow morning. Right. You will not. I agree

that. We'll get no crew to sail us till I give you a certificate of sea warden.

And those potatoes stay right where they are till I decide your ship's fit to

carry them.

All right, Ben, son.

Get a ship's repair and we'll let him decide. Now, would that suit you? It's

never sunny for a ship repair, sir. The tide's nearly in.

Besides, we've only the one in this little place.

And he's away in Limerick as his brother's funeral.

Oh, that's right.

Good riddance.

If I don't get back to Liverpool in time for my business, I shall remember you.

I shall come back one day.

With the most verminous crew that I can muster.

And by the time they've finished with this port, it'll look like I've had a

crumple, Bill.

But not me.

What chance would I have against Sir Daniel?

I'm unknown, unprepared. It's ridiculous. But what have you got to

Only my money.

And think of the credit it would lay in store for next time.

I would not care to be a pawn in any private quarrel between you and Sir

Lady Fogarty.

I can assure you it is nothing so petty.

Now, will you do it?

Marcus, will you do it?

Yes, yes.

No, and it's damned insulting to Sir... Mr. Simmons.

Good evening, Sir Daniel.

I don't believe you've met my son, William.

Good evening.

This is Mr. Simmons, William. He's the director of an orphanage.

He's been trying to persuade me to sit on the board of governors of the new

orphanage. Since it was our money that bought it, I'd hardly expect less.

Well, we must meet again soon and discuss details.

Whenever your ladyship pleases.

Mr. Daniel.

Mr. Pockety.

Good night, Mr. Newman.

Very nice to see you here, William.

We met at the club.

Father suggested that I should come home to die.

So that he could slander my friends to me along the way. All I said was that

friendship with Beaumont had been remarked on. Why shouldn't I be friends

gentleman and a respected banker? Because he's my political opponent. But

half of Liverpool.

Must all my friends be Gladstone's toads? I think you might extend a little

loyalty to your father.

I haven't noticed any excessive support for father's campaign from you.

Beaumont won't be satisfied until he's got Liverpool in his pocket.

He has great designs for this city. All to his own advantage, no doubt. Perhaps

you'll tell us what they are. Well, he...

Are you suggesting that I should betray those? There's one way of making

yourself useful. You can have no concept of what honour means. Don't presume to

lecture me on honour, sir. Not after the way you behaved towards your cousin.

Then you talk to him.

And either change his tune or show him the door. I shall stay.

Could you not show a little more caring whether your father wins?

Why should I if he won't?

My quarrel with your father is a private one. A matter of principle.

Am I not to know why?

I would prefer to keep it private.

From your own son?

Merely, I do not see how he can remain loyal to his charge as a city councillor

while still remaining a director of the Manchester ship canal. The two would

seem incompatible.

I have no idea.

And he accuses Josiah of double -dealing, damn him!

Funny, really.

I was just thinking.

I mean, here's me, the last of the Baineses, and there's you, young enough

my son, and you're just starting your second family.

Funny, that.

Funnier still when you think that my child and my grandchild

will be the same age.

Grandchild? Hmm?

What, Miss Charlotte?

Thought you knew.

Well, see it.

Well, I'm blowed.

When's the wedding?

Not going to be one.

Oh, we know whose it is.

Don't go thinking that that's in any doubt.

I'm not going to have a snivelling runt as a son -in -law.

But surely, Miss Sharon... If that's the best she can do, she's better off

without.

Right, I bet.

She can lie in it.

But it's to be a grand ball.

All of Daniel's supporters will be there.

I must appeal to your duty as his wife. And I must beg you not to.

I must be true to myself in this, Sarah, and there is an end to it.

Well, I never expected anything like this. I'm quite speechless.

Well, it's not like you, Sarah.

Do I intrude? I think perhaps I'd better go. No. No, indeed you must not, Sarah.

For I received a might of intelligence today which I'm sure will interest you

both.

Well, don't let me interrupt.

Oh, I think we've said all we need to say.

Sarah is rather shocked because I won't play hostess at your election ball. Oh,

dear. I don't know how you can be so disloyal. Was ever a man more blessed

his family?

Well, I don't know how you can take it so lightly. Because I have learned there

is no other way.

Well, all I can say is that Robert would have went with me.

I don't see why that's so amused you. Well, perhaps if I told you what I heard

today, we might all laugh.

I have a new opponent.

Just before the nominations closed, an independent candidate appeared.

You know him, Sarah. You too, Elizabeth.

None other than Marcus Simmons, our young philanthropist.

No. Who has been a guest of this house, hasn't he, Elizabeth?

Oh, dear.

To think it was I who first introduced him. Who has received our hospitality

our money, hasn't he, Elizabeth?

And now he stands against me.

I buy him a new orphanage and this is his thanks.

Hardly overweening gratitude.

Wouldn't you agree, Elizabeth?

I don't know how he's got the gall.

Well, I half suspected that you already knew.

Indeed I did not.

And he will receive no more support from my committee, I can promise you. I do

so admire your Christian principles, Sarah. Didn't you know Elizabeth?

Do you mean am I his sponsor?

Oh, Elizabeth, how could you think Daniel would ever mean any such thing? I

who his sponsor is.

I checked.

Did you? It's a doctor called Porton.

But that's the doctor that's attending Lettie. Then she might do me the

of engaging someone else.

But what interests me more is where Mr. Simmons is getting his financial

backing. Haven't you found out?

Not yet.

Not that it matters.

He can represent as many worthy causes as he likes.

He doesn't stand a chance.

Four miles of new docks, my friend.

Closer to the sea.

Away from this damn bottleneck of the river channel.

And an open hinterland we can develop to serve us without a city to

circumnavigate. Now, these docks are needed, William.

Already the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board are charging so much that many

shippers cannot afford to come into Liverpool.

Now, is that not a recipe for the success of such a venture?

We could become the largest port in Europe.

Except there's something you should know. All the sea lanes of the Atlantic

merging here.

Is it not a vision, William? Will you listen to me, Josiah?

There's something you should know.

Concerning?

My father.

I would not have you break a confidence.

It did not come as one.

Then tell me nothing you may later regret.

My father is a director of a company which plans to build a ship canal from

Liverpool to Manchester.

Now, I'm sure you can see what that would mean for your new docs to say

of Liverpool.

Go there, shifting.

Yes, well, you see, Mr.

O'Dowd couldn't wait another day.

I don't see another ship out there. It is the Banshee in the next port. She's

due out tomorrow.

But I have a contract for those sports.

You've broken it.

Only because of you. I also heard that Mr. O'Dowd may sue you for compensation.

Oh, have you, by heck.

This Banshee, now, who owes her?

Well, I wouldn't be knowing that.

That's her lie, because I was speaking to her master this morning. And he owns

her. I do not.

It's my brother's ship. I thought you had to share now yourself.

Well, what if I have? That's got nothing to do with this.

It's a plot.

I hope you don't mean what I think you mean. I mean what I say. I resent that

imputation. I resent that being cheated by a bunch of thieving bog dwellers. Oh,

dear. Insult won't help the situation at all. You must think that I'm green.

Sir. Well, I'm not green.

Sir. Yes, what is it?

Well?

The damage is to your bow.

Yes, he didn't. I say it much.

But is that planking rock? I was right. I was right. The damage is to the bow.

All right, all right. Is that planking rock? You'll never admit you're wrong.

Take a check there, Patrick. I know that.

That's how I thought.

Mr. O 'Neill.

Mr. O 'Neill.

Look.

That's in the bow itself.

Just wet.

Sir, it's rotten.

Like a sponge.

What did I tell you?

Well, you're the ship repairer. Don't you stand there and do something about

You need to be towed to the graving dock. I can't do that till tomorrow.

I'm not paying towing charges as well.

Well, how the devil am I to work on her then?

Towage to you.

Compensation to her dad.

Me cargo stolen by his brother.

I'm being flaked.

Look, your planks are rotten.

You need re -corking and re -seating. I can't do it in the mud.

Well, you'll have to water.

It's only low water once a day.

Well, light flares at night. That way you'll get two low tides.

You'd have to pay grub money for that.

No. Oh, yes, you would.

All right, then. As long as you can guarantee that we sail in two days.

Two days?

Is he mad or what?

Not yet, he isn't. But I would like you to see him when he is.

What will you do?

Sue them.

Well, how can I when every word is true?

Well, at least deny it.

Well, this may shock you, Sarah, but I couldn't be so dishonest.

How did he find out?

I've been occupying my mind for the past half hour. I don't know.

What's the matter?

Sarah, what's happened?

Our friend Beaumont has somehow discovered my involvement with the ship

and has made it public.

What does that mean?

Well, it means it will do Sir Daniel great damage.

Tom, it'll lose me the election. They'll desert me in droves.

The ball.

Never mind, Sarah. Even if no one else comes, we shall dance.

That's where it begins.

This will be the first of those good and honorable men who put their trust in me

and now wonder how I could have deceived them so.

Samuel, perhaps you'll be good enough to show them into the smoking room.

Never mind, Sarah. Come and sit down.

Don't cry.

It's...

Perhaps not, but I would have done the same to him.

He would have deserved it.

Not me?

I'm not sure my wife would agree with you.

Was it you, Elizabeth?

I'm trying to tell you.

I've replaced your rotten planks, but I'm not finished re -corking her. Well,

can't wait.

I heard you upped your water line. Look, we're sailing in Palestine, right?

Agreed. So we'll not be that low in the water.

These heavy thieves should be like a thief.

The planks will swell.

Gaps will close off. What's so important to Liverpool you can't wait another

day?

You're the last son.

Boy, didn't you say so.

Um, can I have a word with you?

If he... I can't let Maine crew a ship that isn't caught.

Who's asking for the crew?

Maine Bates will say that ourselves.

I hope the little brute shows more respect for his mother after he's born

he does now. He's kicking like a mule. I hope he does indeed.

From what I can remember, the indignities of motherhood tend to

Have you heard from James?

How long?

Well, the doctor says it'll probably be about ten days.

Oh, well, that's plenty of time. If he'd only take James two days to get home.

He'd be bedevilled by Easterlies.

And it could take as long as three weeks.

Even the weather wouldn't dare delay James O 'Neill on this occasion.

Elizabeth, have you heard of a... company called Portside Holdings.

Why?

Well, a man representing that company came to see the warehouse.

He said they want to buy it.

Well, there's some mismention, but it's enormous.

It's even more than the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board have offered.

Are you going to sell?

I don't know.

For some reason, I think not. Not very businesslike of me, but I don't know.

I've become rather fond of the place.

Portside Holdings.

I'll ask Daniel if he knows anything about it.

Where the hell have you been?

We're sailing.

We are?

We've got three hours to catch the tide.

Right.

That's it.

What on earth have you been buying?

This?

It's, uh... Oh, it's just nothing, sir.

I've always wanted to see what a nothing looked like.

There's an even chance that at least one of them will be a girl.

We got a crew?

We haven't.

Just the two of us sailing this ship.

I'm sorry.

I will take on all your proposals and reforms if you will withdraw publicly in

my favor.

No, sir.

I will build you two new orphanages if you will withdraw publicly in my favor.

Sorry, no.

You realize you're as good as giving the election to Beaumont?

You know you stand no chance, but any votes you do get, you'll steal from me.

If I had the mind, I could tell your other benefactors that you have an

in a brothel.

Which shoes?

supply with girls from your orphanage, unless you withdraw in my favor.

You'd have to prove a lie like that.

Rich men can prove anything.

I would not withdraw for you, Sir Daniel, if you offered me El Dorado.

Good day, sir.

Mr. Simmons, it's a pity you're going to lose this election.

You're the kind of man this city needs.

But don't ask me for money ever again.

Not often I have this pleasure.

Well, you've called to the house so little of it.

I couldn't altogether believe that I'd be welcome.

Now, what on earth makes you think that?

Your father doesn't know it was you who betrayed him to Mr Beaumont.

Neither do you.

Oh, I think so.

But you needn't worry.

I've allowed him to think it was me.

Why? Because in a sense it was.

I only told you because I wanted Mr. Beaumont to find out, and I was sure I

could rely on your disloyalty.

You realize how proud that makes me.

Isn't the schemer as guilty as her tool?

But then isn't my punishment the expression in your father's eyes every

looks at me?

Still, I would rather that than have you exposed to his wrath.

I'm not a child, Mother.

I don't need your protection.

Please believe a woman who still holds you in some love.

You are not, nor ever will be, half as clever or as dangerous as your father.

He could beggar you to rags if the whim so took him.

So, let's be sensible, shall we?

Oh, there is some point to the homily, is there?

In return for my not telling Daniel what you have done, you will obtain from me

one piece of information.

From whom?

Mr Beaumont, of course.

Spy on him?

Precisely.

You're as contemptible as my father.

And deceit is obviously your stocking trade.

Look, I merely wish to know whether Mr Beaumont owns a company called Portside

Holdings Limited.

Then go and ask him.

I don't think that would be a very good idea, do you?

I will not be used.

No doubt your father will want to say a few words to you personally.

Shall I tell him he may find you here or at the apartment or sitting on

Beaumont's leaf?

Whether he owns such a company, I don't know. I will not spy for you.

But I have seen documents in his office with the name Portside Holdings written

on them.

So he wants to buy Lettice Warehouse. What of it?

It was his offer coming so soon after the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board had

made theirs that intrigued me.

Portside Holdings, I discover, are buying up as much water frontage as they

lay their hands on.

Well, there's nothing wrong with that.

Well, in several cases, the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board make an offer, then

Portside Holdings better it, which suggests that Mr Beaumont must have a

inside the Harbour Board able to tell him what land they're interested in

and how much they're prepared to pay.

How would that profit it?

Well, because having bought the land, Portside Holdings then lease it back to

the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board at a wickedly high rental.

Ah.

Thereby forcing the Harbour Board to increase their charges.

You said that the Harbour Board's new charges were a greater threat than your

canal.

If you were to tell the newspapers what Mr Josiah Beaumont is doing...

They will crucify him.

Why do you give this weapon to me and not to young Simmons?

Because I owe it to you.

And besides, Mr. Simmons is too honorable to use it.

Are you burning hell, Fogarty?

Oh, two days.

Three.

You'll be surprised if it's more.

Mr. James would come.

Why? He still has two clear days.

Because you, dear lady, are going to make me a promise.

Am I?

You are going to promise me that you will not start birth until after

night. Why?

Well, because tomorrow night I have to be at the city hall.

And if I'm there, I cannot be here.

The election.

not think it possible.

I don't know what to say.

I shall make no pretense of being a gracious loser, William.

You must understand that for this affair, your father has earned my

enmity.

This is very kind of you, Daniel.

I don't really understand what we're celebrating.

Ah.

After all, you didn't win.

No, Mother, but neither did Beaumont. Surely that's worth celebrating in

Well, I don't deny that.

Oh, how fortunate. It seems we are just in time.

Mr. Simmons?

I have invited them here to celebrate, Daniel. Elizabeth.

If our presence is odious to you, sir. No, Mr. Simmons.

You may not be acquainted with my sponsor, Dr. Portman.

Oh, should you not be with my sister -in -law, Doctor?

Oh, there are messages all over town as to where I may be found, sir.

Come, let us toast our new city councillor. Elizabeth, you cannot be

No, Sarah, let not be ungracious.

Mr. Simmons well knows the regard in which I hold him.

Congratulations.

Yes, indeed. Thank you.

I hope I may prove equal to the honour that has been bestowed on me.

I think my wife deserves a special vote of thanks, don't you?

After all, it was her campaign on your behalf that got you elected.

Nonsense, Daniel.

I'm not sure I follow your meaning, sir.

Then let me explain.

She set Beaumont and I at each other's throats, gave each ammunition to

discredit the other, thereby utterly destroying each other's chances, which

you with a clear run home.

A masterpiece of strategy, Elizabeth, executed to perfection.

I'm sure I don't know what you mean either, Daniel. You've done me a greater

service than you could possibly know.

Well, I'm glad you take that view. Local government is hardly worth it. Well, I

wouldn't say that.

But thanks to the attention given to my canal scheme, I have been invited to

stand for Parliament.

To represent a Manchester constituency.

You wouldn't.

And I have gratefully accepted.

on the sailor in the locker, haven't we?

Hey!

I'm sorry.

Well, don't blame me, you damn it.

We'll make it.

Manchester? That's what he says.

Can't Elizabeth think of that? Oh, we should give it to her face and mother's.

Oh, their expressions.

It was as if their husbands had suddenly been declared bigamists.

I like Uncle Daniel.

I wouldn't like to be his enemy, but I do like him. Samuel.

No, don't be frightened.

Oh, no.

No, it's all right.

God.

Mrs. Gibson!

Don't shout.

Look, it's all right. Mrs. Gibson!

I'll get you some hot water.

Sorry.

Mrs. Gibson!

Samuel! Samuel!

Just run for the doctor.

Aye.

winds veered.

It's with us?

Aye.

With luck we should have stopped taking in water now.

We'll be home in ten hours.

You must practice your strength. All right, come on.

Has James come?

James, has he come?

Oh, where have you been?

Oh, I... Is she... No, James, no, it's all right. It's all right, the doctor's

with her.

Has she already... No, not yet.

Who is she? Look, James.

It isn't going to be easy for her.

Now, come on.

Come on.

Are you all right?

I haven't slept for a couple of days.

Well, go in and sit down.

Please don't let us suffer.

He's here.

James is here.

He's downstairs.

Can you hear me, Nettie? Oh,

oh, oh, you tell me.

Sir, there must be a boy.

Try to relax. I know it isn't easy, but you must try to relax and conserve your

strength.

That's it.

This is how Anne died.

Just like this.

I thought, never again.

I may not go through all this again.

Not for all the day in China.

It's a boy.

You just rest now, eh?

I'm not leaving.

Can I have a word with the doctor?

The child is not well.

His colour is blue.

His heartbeat is very irregular.

I'm afraid I have no choice.

I have to tell you, it is unlikely the child will live above a few days.
