Pennies that keep our family from dying straight. 5 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,160 I do not enjoy washing the neighbourhood's laundry any more than 6 00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:52,800 you do, but being upset about it won't change our situation. 7 00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:08,980 Open the door, sweetheart. 8 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,240 I have had an atrocious day. Now I have to open the door. 9 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,280 I'm sorry you've suffered so much. 10 00:01:15,740 --> 00:01:19,680 I fear you will simply have to continue in your wretched state a bit longer. I 11 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,780 will open the door, but do not be surprised if I lie in the floor and die. 12 00:01:24,340 --> 00:01:28,080 I will be many things if that happens, my sweet little Artemis. But above all, 13 00:01:28,180 --> 00:01:29,480 I will not be surprised. 14 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,380 She has died for far less than this in the past. 15 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,000 Father wandering again? 16 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,960 Daphne. 17 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,960 Daphne, you're home. 18 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,160 Was Father wandering again? 19 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,880 Until the letter came. Then he went back up to his daddy. 20 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,040 Did he say whom the letter was from? 21 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,660 You know Father doesn't usually talk to me. 22 00:02:29,340 --> 00:02:32,900 Well... Once I've cleaned the clutter he's spread, sorted the laundry and 23 00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:36,560 started our meal, then I very much wish to talk with you about whatever you've 24 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,478 learned today. 25 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,400 It's ever so interesting and terribly useful. 26 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:41,800 Cannot wait. 27 00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:43,060 Thank you, Stephanie. 28 00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:44,620 Of course, Stephanie. 29 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880 You did say this might happen. 30 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,200 Yes, I did. 31 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:00,920 And what has brought you to such a horrible end this time? 32 00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:04,660 My suffering is too great. No words can possibly describe it. 33 00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:08,360 Is it because I could not buy you a sweet from the confectionery shop? That 34 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:09,360 was tragic. 35 00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:11,200 But not the reason you're expiring on the floor? 36 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:17,300 I didn't see my friend. I watched for him. And he didn't come. He hasn't ever 37 00:03:17,300 --> 00:03:18,980 so long and it's deeply devastating. 38 00:03:19,820 --> 00:03:22,720 Is this the friend I can't see? The friend you don't see. 39 00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:24,020 Ah. 40 00:03:25,060 --> 00:03:28,380 Do you think your friend would visit you again if we had... 41 00:03:28,590 --> 00:03:29,590 Bread pudding tonight. 42 00:03:29,690 --> 00:03:34,010 Bread pudding? I have a bit of stale bread, and Mrs. Sanford gave me some 43 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:37,630 cream. I think we should have bread pudding tonight. It's not even my 44 00:03:37,630 --> 00:03:41,910 birthday. Bread pudding is quite possibly my favourite thing in all the 45 00:03:41,910 --> 00:03:46,990 world. Of course. If you are dead on the floor, you won't be able to have any. 46 00:03:47,330 --> 00:03:48,330 I'm all better. 47 00:03:48,490 --> 00:03:50,410 It is a miracle. 48 00:03:51,510 --> 00:03:56,510 Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I 69 00:05:01,290 --> 00:05:03,910 could have gone without fires in my room. And it likely still would not have 70 00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:04,910 been enough. 71 00:05:06,530 --> 00:05:09,350 I suppose that is my version of hoping for impossible things. 72 00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:14,590 None of the hopes that you've mentioned have been of dreams for yourself. 73 00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:18,570 Seeing this family happy is a dream enough for me. 74 00:05:21,330 --> 00:05:23,530 Fetch Daphne and Artemis and take them to the kitchen. 75 00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:26,430 I do not know how frustrating he might be this time. 76 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,220 Have you received a letter? 77 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,300 We have a very significant problem. 78 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,640 What has happened, Papa? 79 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,700 Evander?
