Stand by, Walter, and knock hard.
It's washing day.

- Oh, erm...

- Is he, indeed?

- He's just been speaking to me.
- Oh, has he?

Mrs MacStingeHs respects

and his lodgings by talking out the window

00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:24,141
she'll thank him to come down
and open the door, too.

00:01:24,221 --> 00:01:27,100
I'll mention it if you'll have the goodness
to let me in, ma'am.

- I should go away, Captain.

She'd find me out, wherever I went.

To the Indies?

00:02:31,821 --> 00:02:34,859
I haven't told my uncle, as yet.
It will be a blow to him.

34
00:02:34,941 --> 00:02:38,218
He's old, Captain. When I leave England,
I could hardly hope to see him again.

35
00:02:38,661 --> 00:02:40,971
You're right there, as like as not.

36
00:02:41,061 --> 00:02:42,893
We, you and I, must make him believe

37
00:02:42,981 --> 00:02:45,655
that the separation
will be no more than temporary.

38
00:02:45,741 --> 00:02:49,291
And that is my great reason
for wishing you to break it to him.

39
00:02:49,381 --> 00:02:52,021
Stand by.

40
00:02:52,101 --> 00:02:55,492
Also, he must think that this new
appointment will be an advancement for me.

41
00:02:55,581 --> 00:02:58,221
- Ain't it?
- Mr Dombey does not like me.

42
00:02:58,301 --> 00:03:01,100
- Steady, Walter.
- No, no, it's true.

43

I'm not a favourite with him. He doesn't
send me to this post as a good one.

Turn again, Whittington.

45
00:03:06,461 --> 00:03:08,771
Aye, and turn a great many times, too,
Captain,

46
00:03:08,861 --> 00:03:11,614
before such fortunes
as his ever turn up again.

47
00:03:11,701 --> 00:03:14,261
Now, I doubt if it will ever lead me
to advancement.

48
00:03:14,341 --> 00:03:17,652
On the contrary, he disposes of me forever.

49
00:03:17,741 --> 00:03:19,812
But we must say nothing of this to my uncle.

50
00:03:19,901 --> 00:03:23,212
He disposes of you, you say, eh?

51
00:03:23,301 --> 00:03:25,212

00:03:34,381 --> 00:03:37,214

my uncle's mind at ease?

00:03:37,301 --> 00:03:39,292
Aye, lad. I'll help you.

57

00:04:03,221 --> 00:04:06,976

who wishes to see Mr Dombey.

69
00:04:18,221 --> 00:04:21,612
Didn't you tell him that Mr Dombey
has stayed at home this past week?

70
00:04:21,701 --> 00:04:23,453
I did, sir, and he asked to see you.

71
00:04:23,541 --> 00:04:26,818
- On what business, Perch?
- To do with our Mr Gay, he said.

72
00:04:29,421 --> 00:04:30,820
Bid him come in.

73
00:04:39,381 --> 00:04:41,179
Er...Mr Carker?

74
00:04:42,581 --> 00:04:44,219
I believe so.

75
00:04:44,301 --> 00:04:47,134
I'm a seafaring man, myself, Mr Carker,

76
00:04:47,221 --> 00:04:51,692

is almost a son of mine.

00:04:54,461 --> 00:04:57,658

I'm an intimate friend of his uncle's.

80
00:05:00,301 --> 00:05:05,137
Perhaps you've heard your head guv'nor
mention my name - Captain Cuttle.

81
00:05:05,221 --> 00:05:06,541
No.

82
00:05:06,621 --> 00:05:09,135
Well, I've had the pleasure
of his acquaintance.

83
00:05:09,221 --> 00:05:11,497
I waited upon him
down on that Sussex coast,

84
00:05:11,581 --> 00:05:16,417
when, in short, there was
a little accommodation matter.

85
00:05:16,501 --> 00:05:18,014
You may remember, I daresay?

86
00:05:18,101 --> 00:05:20,490
I think I had the honour
of arranging the business.

87
00:05:20,581 --> 00:05:22,936
To be sure, right again, you had!

88
00:05:23,021 --> 00:05:26,810
- Well, I took the libefly of coming here...
- Won't you sit down?

89
00:05:26,901 --> 00:05:29,097
Oh, thankee kindly, lad.

90
00:05:30,781 --> 00:05:32,579
Won't you take a chair yourself?

91
00:05:34,821 --> 00:05:37,939
Walter is as trim a lad as ever stepped,

92
00:05:38,021 --> 00:05:42,015
but he's a little down by the head
in one respect and that is modesty.

93
00:05:42,101 --> 00:05:44,775
What I should like to put to you, Mr Carker,

94
00:05:44,861 --> 00:05:49,378
in a friendly way,
entirely between you and me, is this:

95
00:05:49,461 --> 00:05:52,180
is everything right and comfortable here?

96
00:05:52,261 --> 00:05:55,777
And is Walter outward bound
with a pretty fair wind?

97
00:05:57,461 --> 00:06:00,613
You are a practical man, Captain Cuttle.
What do you think?

98
00:06:00,701 --> 00:06:02,977
Come, am I right or wrong?

99
00:06:03,821 --> 00:06:05,334
Right, I have no doubt.

100
00:06:05,421 --> 00:06:08,413
Outward bound, then,
with fair weather, I say?

101
00:06:09,221 --> 00:06:11,690
Wind right astern and plenty of it?

102
00:06:11,781 --> 00:06:14,500
Walter has brilliant prospects.

103
00:06:14,581 --> 00:06:16,333
All the world before him.

104
00:06:16,421 --> 00:06:19,140
All the world and his wife, too,
as the saying is.

With an I and an O to follow, eh?

111
00:06:40,301 --> 00:06:43,498
Am I right?

112
00:06:43,581 --> 00:06:47,495
Ever since he found her on the streets,
when she were a little girl,

113
00:06:47,581 --> 00:06:52,052
he has liked her and she him,
as much as two such youngsters can.

114
00:06:52,141 --> 00:06:55,771
We always said, his uncle and me,
that they was cut out for one another.

115
00:06:55,861 --> 00:06:58,057
Am I right again?

116
00:06:59,661 --> 00:07:01,459
It's as I believed!

117
00:07:01,541 --> 00:07:03,737
And Walter's in his way
to make his fortune.

118
00:07:03,821 --> 00:07:05,732
To make his fortune.

119
00:07:05,821 --> 00:07:08,381
And this going on his little voyage is,
as I may say,

120
00:07:08,461 --> 00:07:12,694
in his day's work
and pan of his general expectations here.

121
00:07:12,781 --> 00:07:15,295
Of his general expectations here.

122
00:07:15,381 --> 00:07:17,292
Then my mind's at ease.

123
00:07:17,381 --> 00:07:20,817

if I've at all intruded.

I must find Mrs Richards.

Master Paul is that ill, and he's asked
for his old nurse to come and see him.

- Master Paul is ill?
- The child is withering away.

And what am I going to do?

143
00:08:25,221 --> 00:08:26,939
Well, I scarcely know what to do.

144
00:08:27,021 --> 00:08:29,092
We must ask near
where Mrs Richards once lived.

145
00:08:29,181 --> 00:08:31,741
Yes, that's it. Be calm. We'll find her.

00:10:03,501 --> 00:10:05,697
- Papa?
- I'm here.

171
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:09,570
Here.

172
00:10:10,581 --> 00:10:13,221
I gave money to Walter.

173
00:10:13,301 --> 00:10:16,054
You told me I was to begin
to be Dombey and Son.

174
00:10:16,141 --> 00:10:19,293
- Mm.
- We gave Walter money for his uncle.

175
00:10:19,381 --> 00:10:21,452
That's right, Paul. We gave him money.

176
00:10:21,541 --> 00:10:23,578
Remember Walter, Papa?

177
00:10:23,661 --> 00:10:25,459
Will you remember him?

178
00:10:25,541 --> 00:10:27,134
Mm.

179
00:10:27,221 --> 00:10:28,973
FIOy?

180
00:10:35,501 --> 00:10:37,253
I hear the waves again.

181
00:10:40,421 --> 00:10:42,856
They always said so.

182
00:10:44,421 --> 00:10:46,412
(CLOCK TICKS)

183
00:11:03,581 --> 00:11:05,572
(SHOVEL DIGGING EARTH)

184
00:11:16,221 --> 00:11:18,531
Mr Dombey, sir?

185
00:11:18,621 --> 00:11:20,976
Mr Dombey, sir?

186
00:11:21,061 --> 00:11:22,813
- Mr Dombey?
- Yes!

187
00:11:22,901 --> 00:11:25,177
Oh, if you please, sir, I'm the stonemason.

188
00:11:25,261 --> 00:11:27,013
They said I was to attend on you.

189
00:11:27,101 --> 00:11:28,614
Yes.

190
00:11:29,701 --> 00:11:33,012
These are my instructions for
the gravestone, for the inscription.

191
00:11:33,101 --> 00:11:35,661
- I wish to have it done at once.
- Very good, sir.

192
00:11:37,461 --> 00:11:39,259
I beg your pardon, sir.

193
00:11:40,261 --> 00:11:41,899
Well?

194
00:11:41,981 --> 00:11:43,733
I think there's been a mistake.

195
00:11:43,821 --> 00:11:45,619
A mistake?

196
00:11:45,701 --> 00:11:48,659
It says here "To the memory
of the beloved and only child," sir.

197
00:11:48,741 --> 00:11:49,970
Well?

198
00:11:51,061 --> 00:11:55,339
Begging your pardon, sir. Should it not be
"the beloved and only son," sir?

199
00:11:59,581 --> 00:12:01,333
You're right, of course.

200
00:12:01,421 --> 00:12:03,219
Make the correction.

201
00:12:09,461 --> 00:12:12,772
My dear Florence,
when you are as old as I am..

202
00:12:12,861 --> 00:12:14,659
Which will be the prime of life.

203
00:12:14,741 --> 00:12:19,577
...you will then know that all grief is
unavailing and that it is our duty to submit.

204
00:12:19,661 --> 00:12:22,016
- I will try, Aunt.
- I am glad to hear it.

205
00:12:22,101 --> 00:12:24,092
Because, my love, as our dear Miss Tox,

206
00:12:24,181 --> 00:12:28,618
of whose good sense and excellent
judgment, there cannot be two opinions...

207
00:12:28,701 --> 00:12:31,773
My dear Louisa,
I shall be really be proud soon.

208
00:12:31,861 --> 00:12:34,216
As our dear Miss Tox will tell you,

209
00:12:34,301 --> 00:12:38,772
we are called upon on all occasions
to make an effort

210
00:12:38,861 --> 00:12:40,659
It is required of us.

211
00:12:40,741 --> 00:12:45,099
If any... Oh, my dear, I want a word.

212
00:12:45,181 --> 00:12:48,378
If any mis...er...

213
00:12:48,461 --> 00:12:51,101
- Demeanour?
- Oh, no, no, no, how can you?

214
00:12:51,181 --> 00:12:53,218
Oh, goodness me,
it's on the end of my tongue.

215
00:12:53,301 --> 00:12:55,690
- Er...mis...
- Placed affection.

216
00:12:55,781 --> 00:12:58,341
Good gracious, how very monstrous!

217
00:12:59,341 --> 00:13:02,379
Misanthrope is the word I want.

218
00:13:02,461 --> 00:13:05,738
"Misplaced affection", the idea!

219
00:13:05,821 --> 00:13:10,736
If any misanthrope were to put to me
the question, "Why were we born?"

220
00:13:10,821 --> 00:13:15,497
I should reply, "To make an effort"

221
00:13:15,581 --> 00:13:19,290
Oh, very good. Very good, indeed.

222
00:13:19,381 --> 00:13:21,099
Nothing will ever persuade me,

223
00:13:21,181 --> 00:13:23,934
but if an effort had been made
by your dear poor mama...

224
00:13:24,701 --> 00:13:28,251
...the poor dear darling child would have
had a stronger constitution.

225
00:13:30,621 --> 00:13:32,294
Your papa, now,

226
00:13:32,381 --> 00:13:34,418
he is a Dombey.

227
00:13:34,501 --> 00:13:37,857
You may be sure that he will make an effort

228
00:13:37,941 --> 00:13:39,659
Pray tell me, how is Papa?

229
00:13:39,741 --> 00:13:42,620
Oh, my dear, I've only seen him once
or twice for a minute or so,

230
00:13:42,701 --> 00:13:45,898
and, indeed, I've hardly seen him then
for his room was dark.

231
00:13:45,981 --> 00:13:51,215
But I have advised him to go into the country
for a shod time to seek a change.

232
00:13:51,301 --> 00:13:53,212
I am sure he will do so.

233
00:13:53,301 --> 00:13:56,134
- My Louisa is ever methodical.
- Mm-hm.

234
00:13:56,221 --> 00:13:58,735
Is there nothing, Aunt, I might do?

235
00:13:58,821 --> 00:14:00,380
Lord!

236
00:14:00,461 --> 00:14:02,259
My dear child.

237
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:08,178
If your papa said to me, "Louisa,
I want nothing, I am better by myself,

238
00:14:08,261 --> 00:14:11,617
what do you suppose he would say to you?"

239
00:14:11,701 --> 00:14:13,817
You mustn't show yourself to him, child.

240
00:14:13,901 --> 00:14:16,495
- Don't dream of such a thing.
-(KNOCK ON DOOR)

241
00:14:20,381 --> 00:14:23,055
Begging your pardon, ma'am,
but Miss Floy has a visitor.

242
00:14:23,141 --> 00:14:25,735
LOUISA: Avisitor?
- A visitor for me, Susan?

243
00:14:25,821 --> 00:14:28,415
Well, it is a wonder, ain't it, now, Miss Floy?

244
00:14:28,501 --> 00:14:33,291
But I wish you had a many visitors.
I do, indeed, for you'd be all the better for it.

245
00:14:33,381 --> 00:14:38,979
I may not wish to live in crowds, Miss Floy,
but, still, I'm not an oyster.

246
00:14:39,061 --> 00:14:41,098
Avisitor at this time? Who is it?

247
00:14:41,181 --> 00:14:44,060
If you, please, ma'am, it's a Mr Toots.

248
00:14:44,141 --> 00:14:47,179
- Oh, yes! Show him in, Susan.
-(GIGGLES)

249
00:14:47,261 --> 00:14:49,775
He was a friend of Paul's
at Dr Blimber's school.

250
00:14:49,861 --> 00:14:51,852
Then I suppose you must see him.

251
00:14:51,941 --> 00:14:53,693
Come along, Miss Tox.

252
00:14:53,781 --> 00:14:55,897
Goodbye, Florence, dear.

253
00:14:55,981 --> 00:14:59,770
And do, do try to make an effort

254
00:15:05,221 --> 00:15:07,258
(LAUGHS)

255
00:15:07,341 --> 00:15:09,093
- Mr Toots!
- Hm?

256
00:15:10,101 --> 00:15:12,411
Hah! How do you do, Miss Dombey?

257
00:15:12,501 --> 00:15:14,856
I'm very well, thank you. How are you?

258
00:15:14,941 --> 00:15:16,500
I'm very well.

259
00:15:16,581 --> 00:15:18,891
I'm very well, indeed, I am.
Very well, indeed.

260
00:15:19,901 --> 00:15:21,972
I am glad to see you. Pray, be seated.

261
00:15:22,061 --> 00:15:23,938
You were kind to my brother.

262
00:15:24,021 --> 00:15:25,694
He often talked to me about you.

263
00:15:25,781 --> 00:15:29,092
Oh...it's of no consequence.

264
00:15:30,461 --> 00:15:33,419
- Warm, ain't it?
-It is beautiful weather.

265
00:15:33,501 --> 00:15:35,378
It agrees with me.

266
00:15:35,461 --> 00:15:38,658
I don't remember that I was ever so well
as I find myself at present.

267
00:15:38,741 --> 00:15:40,698
I'm obliged to you.

268
00:15:41,741 --> 00:15:44,130
You have left Dr Blimber's, I think.

269
00:15:44,221 --> 00:15:46,178
Oh, I should hope so. Mm.

270
00:15:52,061 --> 00:15:54,530
Well, good day, Miss Dombey.

271
00:15:54,621 --> 00:15:56,055
Are you going?

272
00:15:56,141 --> 00:15:58,132
I don't know. Er...

273
00:15:59,181 --> 00:16:01,650
No, no, not just at present.

274
00:16:01,741 --> 00:16:04,859
Erm...the fact is... Oh, I say, Miss Dombey...

275
00:16:04,941 --> 00:16:06,375
- Yes?
- Your brother, I...

276
00:16:06,461 --> 00:16:09,658
Please don't be afraid to talk about him.
I should be very glad if you would.

277
00:16:10,781 --> 00:16:12,419
Would you, though?

278
00:16:13,741 --> 00:16:15,732
Poor Dombey.

279
00:16:16,861 --> 00:16:22,732
The fact is...there was a friend
he took very much to at the last.

280
00:16:22,821 --> 00:16:25,574
I thought you would like
to have him perhaps.

281
00:16:25,661 --> 00:16:28,255
- A friend, Mr Toots?
- Excuse me.

282
00:16:32,021 --> 00:16:33,170
Hah!

283
00:16:33,261 --> 00:16:36,652
I could have had him stolen for ten shillings,
if they hadn't given him up.

284
00:16:36,741 --> 00:16:38,618
But they were pleased to be rid of him.

285
00:16:38,701 --> 00:16:40,021
Diogenes!

286
00:16:40,101 --> 00:16:42,012
You remember his remembering Diogenes.

287
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:44,661
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Now, now, he ain't a lady's dog,

288
00:16:44,741 --> 00:16:46,971
but you won't mind that, will you?

289
00:16:47,061 --> 00:16:49,701
Oh, Di, dear Di!

290
00:16:49,781 --> 00:16:51,738
Thank you. Thank you.

291
00:16:55,661 --> 00:16:58,255
Well, Uncle, what shall I send you home
from Barbados?

292
00:16:58,341 --> 00:17:03,051
Hope, my dear Wally, hope that we shall
meet again this side of the grave.

293
00:17:03,141 --> 00:17:05,212
Send me as much of that as you can.

294
00:17:05,301 --> 00:17:09,772
So I will, Uncle. And as to lively turtles
and limes for Captain Cuttle's punch,

295
00:17:09,861 --> 00:17:12,933
and preserves for you on Sundays?
Well, I'll send you shiploads.

296
00:17:13,021 --> 00:17:15,331
You'll not forget what you're to send me,
Uncle?

297
00:17:15,421 --> 00:17:18,652
No, Wally,
everything I hear about Miss Dombey.

298
00:17:18,741 --> 00:17:21,130
Though I fear it won't be much, my boy.

299
00:17:21,221 --> 00:17:23,337
I tell you, Uncle,
I went to her house this morning.

300
00:17:23,421 --> 00:17:25,378
- You saw her?
- No.

301
00:17:25,461 --> 00:17:28,499
I wanted to say a parting word to Susan -
her maid.

302
00:17:28,581 --> 00:17:30,572
I asked her if she would let me know
through you

303
00:17:30,661 --> 00:17:32,334
if Miss Florence was well and happy.

304
00:17:32,421 --> 00:17:34,856
So you may have more news for me
than you think, Uncle.

305
00:17:34,941 --> 00:17:36,739
What's the matter, Uncle?

306
00:17:39,461 --> 00:17:41,372
Miss Dombey?

307
00:17:48,341 --> 00:17:50,855
I'm sure your uncle
is sorry you're going away.

308
00:17:50,941 --> 00:17:52,852
So am I.

309
00:17:52,941 --> 00:17:55,740
Goodness knows, there's a many
we could spare instead of him.

310
00:17:55,821 --> 00:17:59,257
Mrs Pipchin as an overseer would
come cheap at her weight in gold.

311
00:17:59,341 --> 00:18:02,299
And if a knowledge of black slavery
should be required,

312
00:18:02,381 --> 00:18:06,852
them Blimbers is the very people
for the situation. (LAUGHS)

313
00:18:06,941 --> 00:18:08,659
So grown up.

314
00:18:08,741 --> 00:18:11,494
So improved, and yet not altered.

315
00:18:11,581 --> 00:18:13,379
You remember me, then?

316
00:18:13,461 --> 00:18:16,499
My dear young lady, how could I forget you?

317
00:18:16,581 --> 00:18:18,572
Oh! (LAUGHS)

318
00:18:19,661 --> 00:18:22,892
I want to tell Walter's uncle
something I'm anxious about.

319
00:18:22,981 --> 00:18:26,690
He's going to be left alone,
and if you will allow me,

320
00:18:26,781 --> 00:18:29,341
not to take Walter's place,
for that I couldn't do,

321
00:18:29,421 --> 00:18:32,459
but to be his friend
and help him if ever I can,

322
00:18:32,541 --> 00:18:34,930
I should be very much obliged to him,
indeed.

323
00:18:35,021 --> 00:18:37,137
You will be obliged?

324
00:18:38,381 --> 00:18:40,657
Wally, say a word for me.

325
00:18:40,741 --> 00:18:42,493
I'm very grateful.

326
00:18:42,581 --> 00:18:45,812
No, we must learn to talk together
without Walter from now on.

327
00:18:45,901 --> 00:18:49,815
If you'll please to be seated, there's milk
and sugar for them that want it.

328
00:18:49,901 --> 00:18:51,972
CAPTAIN CUTTLE: Avast there!

329
00:18:52,061 --> 00:18:54,371
It's Captain Cuttle.
Forgive me, Miss Dombey.

330
00:19:00,341 --> 00:19:02,776
Do you think you will be absent
for very long, Walter?

331
00:19:02,861 --> 00:19:06,377
I fear so. Mr Dombey signified
as much when he appointed me.

332
00:19:06,461 --> 00:19:08,338
Is it a favour, Walter?

333
00:19:08,421 --> 00:19:10,412
- The appointment?
- Yes.

334
00:19:10,501 --> 00:19:12,492
I do not think so.

335
00:19:12,581 --> 00:19:14,970
I'm afraid you have scarcely
been a favourite with Papa.

336
00:19:15,061 --> 00:19:16,859
There's no reason why I should be.

337
00:19:16,941 --> 00:19:18,500
No reason, Walter?

338
00:19:18,581 --> 00:19:22,620
Between Mr Dombey and me,
there is a wide space of separation.

339
00:19:23,461 --> 00:19:25,338
Papa will recover from his grief.

340
00:19:25,421 --> 00:19:28,891
And when he does, I shall tell him how
much I wish to see you back again,

341
00:19:28,981 --> 00:19:31,097
and ask him to recall you for my sake.

342
00:19:32,101 --> 00:19:35,253
- Oh!
- There she sets. Good morning, little lady,

343
00:19:35,341 --> 00:19:37,981
and fair weather to ye, to all the ladies!

344
00:19:38,061 --> 00:19:40,098
- Good morning, Captain.
-(GIGGLES)

345
00:19:40,181 --> 00:19:42,411
What's this? Tea, Walter?

346
00:19:42,501 --> 00:19:44,299
If your uncle's the man I think him,

347
00:19:44,381 --> 00:19:48,090
he'll bring down the last bottle of
the Madeira on the present occasion.

348
00:19:48,181 --> 00:19:51,333
Oh, no, Ned, that shall be opened
when Walter comes home again.

349
00:19:51,421 --> 00:19:55,540
Well said! Walter, a pafling gift, lad.

350
00:19:58,181 --> 00:20:01,492
Put it back half an hour every morning,

351
00:20:01,581 --> 00:20:05,575
and another quarter towards the afternoon,
and it's a watch that will do you credit.

352
00:20:05,661 --> 00:20:08,380
Captain Cuttle, I couldn't think of it.
Pray take it back.

353
00:20:08,461 --> 00:20:10,099
I have one already.

354
00:20:10,181 --> 00:20:13,697
Then, Walter, take this trifle of plate instead.

355
00:20:13,781 --> 00:20:16,614
No, I couldn't, indeed. It would be much
more use to you than me.

356
00:20:18,181 --> 00:20:21,094
If I must have a parting gift,
then, give me your stick.

357
00:20:21,181 --> 00:20:23,138
I often thought I should like to have it.

358
00:20:25,861 --> 00:20:28,580
Well, it's time to go.

359
00:20:28,661 --> 00:20:31,255
Goodbye, Uncle. God bless you.

360
00:20:31,341 --> 00:20:33,537
Captain. Take care of him.

361
00:20:33,621 --> 00:20:35,976
I will, Walter, I will.

362
00:20:36,061 --> 00:20:38,450
- Goodbye, Susan.
- Mr Walter.

363
00:20:38,541 --> 00:20:40,452
Goodbye, Miss Dombey.

364
00:20:41,301 --> 00:20:42,621
Florence.

365
00:20:43,461 --> 00:20:46,897
Goodbye, Walter.
Perhaps you may come back very soon.

366
00:20:52,861 --> 00:20:54,613
(DOOR CLOSES)

367
00:20:59,141 --> 00:21:01,417
I shall leave tomorrow morning
for Leamington

368
00:21:01,501 --> 00:21:03,458
in company with my friend Major Bagstock.

369
00:21:03,541 --> 00:21:06,897
If there are any matters which require
my attention, you have my address.

370
00:21:06,981 --> 00:21:09,700
- The Royal Hotel.
- That is all, I think.

371
00:21:09,781 --> 00:21:13,570
Except I have changed my mind
about young Gay.

372
00:21:13,661 --> 00:21:16,779
Oh? And in what way have you changed it?

373
00:21:16,861 --> 00:21:19,455
I think he should not go to Barbados,
after all.

374
00:21:19,541 --> 00:21:21,418
Send one of the others.

375
00:21:21,501 --> 00:21:24,141
It's a pity you didn't say so in good time.

376
00:21:24,221 --> 00:21:27,691
The Son And Heir sailed this morning
with young Gay on board.

377
00:21:31,861 --> 00:21:33,579
It's of no consequence.

378
00:21:34,581 --> 00:21:36,379
Take charge of things, Carker.

379
00:21:41,061 --> 00:21:43,177
Do you know where Papa is going, Susan?

380
00:21:43,261 --> 00:21:45,093
Not exactly, Miss.

381
00:21:45,181 --> 00:21:49,618
He's going to visit that precious friend
of his first, that Major Bagstock.

382
00:21:49,701 --> 00:21:53,012
And I must say,
if I was acquainted with any major myself,

383
00:21:53,101 --> 00:21:55,661
which heaven forbid,
it shouldn't be a blue one.

384
00:21:55,741 --> 00:21:58,893
- Hush, Susan.
- Well, Miss Floy, I can't help it.

385
00:21:58,981 --> 00:22:00,699
Blue-faced, he is.

386
00:22:00,781 --> 00:22:02,772
And while I was a Christian,
although humble,

387
00:22:02,861 --> 00:22:05,171
I would have natural-coloured friends
or none.

388
00:22:05,261 --> 00:22:06,854
(FRONT DOOR CLOSES)

389
00:22:06,941 --> 00:22:09,694
There. There's your papa come home.

390
00:22:10,701 --> 00:22:13,056
To shut himself up again
in that room of his.

391
00:22:15,941 --> 00:22:18,171
<i>Miss Hey . Where are you going'?</i>

392
00:22:19,541 --> 00:22:21,259
You may go to bed, Susan.

393
00:22:21,341 --> 00:22:23,412
<i>No , Miss Hey.</i>

394
00:22:23,501 --> 00:22:25,253
It ain't no use.

395
00:22:25,341 --> 00:22:27,378
All you'll do is vex him.

396
00:22:48,741 --> 00:22:51,210
FLORENCE: Papa?

397
00:22:56,061 --> 00:22:59,497
What's the matter? Why do you come here?
Has something frightened you?

398
00:23:00,581 --> 00:23:02,857
Let me stay with you, Papa.

399
00:23:02,941 --> 00:23:04,773
Stay with me?

400
00:23:07,261 --> 00:23:09,138
What talk is this?

401
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:11,815
I ask you, Florence, are you frightened?

402
00:23:11,901 --> 00:23:14,495
Is anything the matter
that you've come here?

403
00:23:14,581 --> 00:23:16,970
- I came, Papa...
- Against my wishes. Why?

404
00:23:24,261 --> 00:23:27,572
You are tired, I daresay, and need rest.

405
00:23:27,661 --> 00:23:29,379
We all need rest.

406
00:23:29,461 --> 00:23:31,452
Go, Florence.

407
00:23:31,541 --> 00:23:33,498
And, Florence?

408
00:23:34,541 --> 00:23:37,693
The whole house, except here, is yours.

409
00:23:37,781 --> 00:23:40,580
You are its mistress now.

410
00:23:40,661 --> 00:23:42,174
Good night.

411
00:23:53,701 --> 00:23:55,260
Oh, Di.

412
00:23:55,341 --> 00:23:57,093
Dear Di.

413
00:23:58,181 --> 00:23:59,899
Love me.

414
00:24:00,941 --> 00:24:02,534
For his sake.
