1
00:03:32,070 --> 00:03:33,310
My apologies, ladies.

2
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:35,030
A most unpleasant scene.

3
00:03:35,530 --> 00:03:37,770
But I thought you should know the truth
about that man.

4
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:42,130
Mr Copperfield, I believe you did it for
her.

5
00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:44,410
To save her.

6
00:03:45,310 --> 00:03:46,910
I hope she is saved, ma'am.

7
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,220
But the truth is, I did it for myself,
to save myself.

8
00:03:55,740 --> 00:03:57,100
Now, if you'll excuse me,

9
00:03:57,860 --> 00:04:00,200
Miss Horton, ma'am.

10
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Such a very distinguished man.

11
00:04:48,490 --> 00:04:55,410
the personal history and experiences of
David Copperfield

12
00:04:55,410 --> 00:04:56,990
the Younger.

13
00:05:00,990 --> 00:05:05,830
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero
of my own life or whether that station

14
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:09,210
will be held by anybody else, these
pages must show.

15
00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:16,850
To begin my life with the beginning of
my life, I here record that I was born

16
00:05:16,850 --> 00:05:19,080
at Blunderston in Suffolk.

17
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:22,280
I was a posthumous child.

18
00:05:23,140 --> 00:05:27,600
My father's eyes had closed upon the
light of this world six months when mine

19
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,600
opened on it.

20
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:36,800
An aunt of my father's, and consequently
a great aunt of mine, Miss Betsy

21
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,780
Trotwood was the principal magnate of
our family.

22
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,460
My father had once been a favourite of
hers, I believe.

23
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,540
but she was mortally affronted when he
married my mother without first

24
00:05:47,540 --> 00:05:49,720
presenting her for inspection and
approval.

25
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:34,460
Miss Betsy and my father never met again
and she'd never seen my mother

26
00:06:34,460 --> 00:06:40,600
The rookery

27
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:47,040
indeed Where are the

28
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,040
rooks?

29
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,980
I see no such bird

30
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:03,440
This, then, was the state of matters on
what I may be excused for calling that

31
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:04,820
important day.

32
00:07:37,870 --> 00:07:39,930
Mrs. David Copperfield, I think.

33
00:07:40,670 --> 00:07:43,130
Yes? Miss Betsy Trotwood.

34
00:07:44,350 --> 00:07:46,050
You have heard of her, I dare say.

35
00:07:46,530 --> 00:07:48,090
I have had that pleasure.

36
00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:49,890
And now you see her.

37
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:21,510
Don't do that. Stop it.

38
00:08:22,430 --> 00:08:23,470
Stop it.

39
00:08:24,350 --> 00:08:25,350
There.

40
00:08:25,990 --> 00:08:26,990
Yes, now.

41
00:08:27,950 --> 00:08:29,150
Let me look at you.

42
00:08:29,730 --> 00:08:31,530
Come. Come, come.

43
00:08:35,549 --> 00:08:36,490
Well, bless

44
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:45,810
my

45
00:08:45,810 --> 00:08:46,810
heart.

46
00:08:47,050 --> 00:08:48,310
You're a very baby.

47
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,100
I'm a childish widow.

48
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,860
And I will be a childish mother if I
live.

49
00:08:57,420 --> 00:08:58,420
Nonsense.

50
00:08:59,100 --> 00:09:03,380
Set you down. Child, set you down. Be in
the chair by the fire.

51
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,280
The rookery, indeed.

52
00:09:12,300 --> 00:09:13,940
Where are the rooks?

53
00:09:14,340 --> 00:09:18,620
The what, ma'am? Rooks, large black
birds of the crow family.

54
00:09:19,910 --> 00:09:21,130
There are none here now.

55
00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:24,210
In the name of heaven, why the rookery?

56
00:09:24,690 --> 00:09:25,810
You mean the house?

57
00:09:26,270 --> 00:09:28,330
Well, of course I mean the house. What
do you mean?

58
00:09:29,570 --> 00:09:30,690
The name was Mr.

59
00:09:30,950 --> 00:09:34,150
Copperfield's choice on account of the
old nest in the garden.

60
00:09:37,690 --> 00:09:40,210
David Copperfield all over.

61
00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:45,650
Calls a house a rookery and there's not
a rook near it. Takes the birds on trust

62
00:09:45,650 --> 00:09:46,990
because he sees the nest.

63
00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:49,050
Mr. Copperfield is dead.

64
00:10:08,490 --> 00:10:09,490
Nonsense.

65
00:10:10,750 --> 00:10:12,270
What you need is tea.

66
00:10:21,210 --> 00:10:23,090
What's your servant's name? Pegarty.

67
00:10:24,190 --> 00:10:25,190
Pegarty?

68
00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:31,310
Do you mean to tell me that any human
being has gone into a Christian church

69
00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:33,210
and got themselves named Pegarty?

70
00:10:33,590 --> 00:10:35,670
It's my surname, ma'am.

71
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:42,200
Mr. Copperfield called me by it, because
my Christian name's Clara, same as my

72
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,200
mistress.

73
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,960
Yes, well, Piggity, bet your mistress a
strong cup of tea.

74
00:10:48,180 --> 00:10:49,280
Do, daughter.

75
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,360
I have no doubt the child shall be a
girl.

76
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:02,700
Perhaps a boy.

77
00:11:03,470 --> 00:11:08,250
Don't contradict. I have a strong
presentiment that child must be a girl.

78
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:12,210
And I shall be her godmother.

79
00:11:12,670 --> 00:11:15,750
You will call her Betsy Trotwood.

80
00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:17,510
Now,

81
00:11:19,590 --> 00:11:25,170
on to money matters. Has David left you
properly provided for?

82
00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:31,610
I have this house and its contents and a
sufficient income.

83
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:34,220
I think a hundred a year.

84
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,300
That seems satisfactory.

85
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:42,640
Now to my goddaughter's education.

86
00:12:48,540 --> 00:12:49,540
Mom. Mom.

87
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,600
Mom.

88
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,800
Doctor,

89
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,080
well?

90
00:13:01,460 --> 00:13:03,180
I'm happy to congratulate you, Mom.

91
00:13:03,420 --> 00:13:05,440
What? A fine boy. Speak up, can't you?

92
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,719
A boy.

93
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,900
What is the matter with Mom? Why does he
whisper?

94
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,600
A boy.

95
00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:21,220
What? A boy!

96
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,240
Impossible. I don't show you. I won't
hear you.

97
00:13:51,530 --> 00:13:52,530
Oh, boy!

98
00:13:53,010 --> 00:13:56,410
Here we are.

99
00:13:57,690 --> 00:13:59,650
Oh, it's beautiful.

100
00:14:08,210 --> 00:14:15,170
We shall be called David after his dear
father, David

101
00:14:15,170 --> 00:14:16,170
Copperfield.

102
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:28,730
Even now, when I look back on those
first nine years of my childhood, I see

103
00:14:28,730 --> 00:14:29,730
nothing but sunlight.

104
00:14:31,230 --> 00:14:34,990
Sunlight winking in the window of the
parlor where my mother gives me my first

105
00:14:34,990 --> 00:14:40,510
lessons, or flooding a garden, glinting
on her curls as she gathers fruit.

106
00:14:41,690 --> 00:14:47,230
Riper and richer than fruit has ever
been since, in any other garden.

107
00:14:48,750 --> 00:14:51,090
Even the old churchyard where my father
lay.

108
00:14:51,580 --> 00:14:55,580
and where each Sunday we brought flowers
in his memory, even that sad place

109
00:14:55,580 --> 00:15:00,240
seemed in my childish vision to be
perpetually suffused in sunlight.

110
00:15:04,140 --> 00:15:07,060
Until the shadow fell.

111
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,140
Good day, Mrs. Copperfield.

112
00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:14,920
Mr. Marston.

113
00:15:15,540 --> 00:15:16,600
Good day, David.

114
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,260
I trust I find you well, my boy.

115
00:15:24,300 --> 00:15:25,300
He's shy.

116
00:15:33,060 --> 00:15:36,820
And she sang like an angel. Minnie.

117
00:15:37,060 --> 00:15:38,060
Yes.

118
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,880
See, this is it.

119
00:15:43,820 --> 00:15:46,480
So, goodbye, Mrs. Copperfield.

120
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Mr. Masdy.

121
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Goodbye, Davy.

122
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,520
Come, come, my boy.

123
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,200
Let's be friends.

124
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:57,960
Davy?

125
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,680
Well, that's the wrong hand, Davy.

126
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,000
There's a brave little fellow.

127
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,620
Davy? Master Davy?

128
00:16:26,260 --> 00:16:27,260
Yes, Peggy?

129
00:16:27,500 --> 00:16:32,420
How should you like to go along with me
and spend a fortnight at my brother's at

130
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:34,820
Yarmouth? Wouldn't that be a treat?

131
00:16:35,660 --> 00:16:38,660
Peggy, is your brother an enjoyable man?

132
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,460
That he is. And then there's the sea and
the boats and the fishermen and the

133
00:16:45,460 --> 00:16:46,460
beach.

134
00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:54,389
I'll say.

135
00:16:54,390 --> 00:16:56,550
And as good as better guinea, she'll let
us go.

136
00:16:57,830 --> 00:17:00,750
So what's she to do with herself while
we're away?

137
00:17:00,970 --> 00:17:02,730
She can't live on her own.

138
00:17:03,590 --> 00:17:04,650
Bless you.

139
00:17:04,930 --> 00:17:10,650
Don't you know she's going to stay for a
full night with Mrs Graper?

140
00:17:11,210 --> 00:17:12,369
Mrs Graper?

141
00:17:12,770 --> 00:17:13,770
Hmm.

142
00:17:14,030 --> 00:17:16,069
Mrs Graper's going to have a lot of
company.

143
00:17:16,349 --> 00:17:17,430
Then we can go.

144
00:17:17,670 --> 00:17:18,670
Yes.

145
00:17:19,470 --> 00:17:21,490
Poor David.

146
00:17:22,730 --> 00:17:23,990
How innocent you were.

147
00:17:25,550 --> 00:17:27,410
How eager to leave your happy home.

148
00:17:28,290 --> 00:17:29,290
And poor Peggy.

149
00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:31,990
I see the whole plot now.

150
00:17:32,610 --> 00:17:36,770
Peggy was to be ambassadress for my
mother and break the news to me during

151
00:17:36,770 --> 00:17:37,770
our stay in Yarmouth.

152
00:18:15,690 --> 00:18:19,170
Master Davy? Isn't it a wonderful place,
Figgity?

153
00:18:19,650 --> 00:18:23,310
Tis the finest along this coast, that's
well known.

154
00:18:28,290 --> 00:18:30,870
Master Davy? Yes, Figgity?

155
00:18:31,170 --> 00:18:32,330
Look, there's Ham!

156
00:18:32,830 --> 00:18:35,970
Stop, Mr. Barkers! There's my nephew,
Ham!

157
00:18:36,350 --> 00:18:37,350
Ham!

158
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,500
She never had a sweetheart.

159
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:14,120
Never had a sweetheart.

160
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,140
If it had been Aladdin's palace, I could
not have been more charmed with the

161
00:19:47,140 --> 00:19:48,840
romantic idea of living in it.

162
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,600
The true wonder of it was that it was a
real boat that must have been upon the

163
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,380
oceans hundreds, thousands of times.

164
00:20:02,639 --> 00:20:03,860
Glad to see you, sir.

165
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,360
You'll find us rough, sir, but you'll
find us ready.

166
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,260
This is little Emily, sir.

167
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,380
Emily, say howdy-do to Mr.

168
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,600
Copperfield.

169
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,180
Well, sister.

170
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:38,370
Mr.

171
00:20:41,910 --> 00:20:43,110
Pegty? Sir?

172
00:20:43,610 --> 00:20:47,270
Did you give your son the name Ham
because you live in the Noah's Ark?

173
00:20:47,770 --> 00:20:48,770
No, sir.

174
00:20:48,950 --> 00:20:50,830
His father gave him that name.

175
00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:55,290
But I thought you were his father.

176
00:20:55,670 --> 00:20:58,130
My brother Joe was his father.

177
00:21:01,410 --> 00:21:02,900
Dead. Mr. Peggy.

178
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,900
Drowned it. But little Emily, she's your
daughter, isn't she?

179
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:10,520
No, sir.

180
00:21:10,820 --> 00:21:13,740
My brother-in-law Tom was her father.

181
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,500
Not dead, Mr.

182
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,699
Peggy.

183
00:21:17,700 --> 00:21:18,700
Drowned it.

184
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,780
Haven't you any children, then?

185
00:21:21,820 --> 00:21:22,820
No, sir.

186
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,620
I'm a bachelor. A bachelor?

187
00:21:47,930 --> 00:21:49,610
Danal was partnered from a boat.

188
00:21:50,150 --> 00:21:53,410
But old damage died and left her very
poor.

189
00:21:54,190 --> 00:21:55,550
So Danal took her in.

190
00:21:55,990 --> 00:22:00,570
Like Ham and little Emily when they was
orphaned. He must be a very good man, I

191
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:01,209
should think.

192
00:22:01,210 --> 00:22:02,490
The best of men.

193
00:22:03,630 --> 00:22:04,750
To bed with you now.

194
00:22:10,730 --> 00:22:11,730
Good night.

195
00:22:20,310 --> 00:22:21,310
Davy?

196
00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:24,070
Yes, Pockety?

197
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:33,430
My brother Daniel, he don't like to have
that goodness and generosity of his

198
00:22:33,430 --> 00:22:34,429
spoken of.

199
00:22:34,430 --> 00:22:36,130
Not by anybody, not in his hearing.

200
00:22:36,450 --> 00:22:37,930
I won't mention it.

201
00:22:38,390 --> 00:22:40,770
Don't. It makes him swear something
terrible to do.

202
00:23:04,510 --> 00:23:09,550
Sometimes, at night, when there's a
storm blowing, I wake, and I think I

203
00:23:09,550 --> 00:23:13,570
hear Uncle Daniel and Ham pouring out
for help.

204
00:23:14,910 --> 00:23:17,010
Does it make you remember your father?

205
00:23:17,830 --> 00:23:19,230
I never knowed him.

206
00:23:20,870 --> 00:23:21,870
That's like me.

207
00:23:22,550 --> 00:23:23,770
But you and your mother had to?

208
00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:26,070
I lost my mother too.

209
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:29,690
Besides, your father was a gentleman,
and more than a fisherman.

210
00:23:29,930 --> 00:23:31,010
Like Uncle Daniel.

211
00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,460
Peggy says I should never mention what a
good man he is. Good!

212
00:23:37,100 --> 00:23:42,980
If I was ever to be a lady, I'd give him
a sky blue coat, with diamond buttons, a

213
00:23:42,980 --> 00:23:47,140
red velvet waistcoat, a cocked hat, a
gold watch and a box of money.

214
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,100
Would you like to be a lady, Emily?

215
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:50,660
Yes, very much.

216
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:53,740
Emily! Wait!

217
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:30,220
I'm sure I loved her with a greater
tenderness and purity than can enter

218
00:24:30,220 --> 00:24:32,780
into even the noblest love of a later
time of life.

219
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:40,040
The days sported by us as if time
himself had not grown on it, but was a

220
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,620
child too, and always at play.

221
00:24:45,810 --> 00:24:50,810
Dear Peggy, I suppose it was because she
saw us so happy and would not spoil it

222
00:24:50,810 --> 00:24:54,190
that she never did carry out the
commission my mother had entrusted to

223
00:24:54,190 --> 00:24:55,129
her.

224
00:24:55,130 --> 00:24:58,890
It was only when we were approaching the
very gate of the house that at last she

225
00:24:58,890 --> 00:24:59,889
told me.

226
00:24:59,890 --> 00:25:02,730
Mr. Barkis, sound your horn, please.

227
00:25:03,050 --> 00:25:04,670
Sound your horn, then she'll come.

228
00:25:30,540 --> 00:25:33,320
Wait, wait, Master Davy, and I'll tell
you something.

229
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:36,640
What?

230
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:38,860
Where is she?

231
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,640
She's not dead.

232
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:46,280
Dead? Of course she's not. Oh, bless the
boy.

233
00:25:47,180 --> 00:25:53,580
Now, Davy, I should have told you
something before, but

234
00:25:53,580 --> 00:25:56,580
I couldn't bring my mind to it.

235
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,560
What do you think?

236
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,720
You've got a power.

237
00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:06,260
A new one.

238
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Ooh.

239
00:26:09,820 --> 00:26:10,820
Lamar!

240
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,680
TV!

241
00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:14,860
Clara?

242
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:19,300
My dear?

243
00:26:22,220 --> 00:26:23,480
Control yourself.

244
00:26:28,300 --> 00:26:31,500
Well, you may kiss your mother, David.

245
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,900
Always control yourself.

246
00:26:42,780 --> 00:26:47,240
Well now, David, how do you do?

247
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:11,760
Gingy?

248
00:27:14,900 --> 00:27:17,400
Mr. Murdstone's sister is to live with
us, Davy.

249
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,340
She's to have this room, while you're to
have a new room.

250
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,280
But why?

251
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:25,960
Come with me.

252
00:27:53,860 --> 00:27:59,800
Davy Clara What

253
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:05,760
is this Clara

254
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,520
my love have you forgotten

255
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:17,140
Firmness

256
00:28:17,140 --> 00:28:19,900
I'm sorry

257
00:28:21,580 --> 00:28:22,940
I meant to be very good.

258
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,960
I'm so uncomfortable.

259
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,080
Go you below, my dear.

260
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,440
David and I will be down in a moment.

261
00:28:49,820 --> 00:28:50,820
David.

262
00:29:04,140 --> 00:29:11,080
If I have an obstinate horse or dog,
what do you think

263
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,080
I do?

264
00:29:13,420 --> 00:29:16,180
I don't know.

265
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,680
I beat him.

266
00:29:20,580 --> 00:29:24,620
I make him wince and smart.

267
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:30,800
And I say to myself, I'll conquer that
fellow.

268
00:29:31,820 --> 00:29:37,540
If it cost him all the blood he has,
I'll do it.

269
00:29:42,740 --> 00:29:44,920
A few days later, she came.

270
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,380
Miss Jane Murdstone.

271
00:30:00,490 --> 00:30:05,030
I remember when she paid the coachman,
she took her money out of a hard steel

272
00:30:05,030 --> 00:30:10,310
purse. She kept the purse in a very jail
of a bag, which hung upon her arm by

273
00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:12,570
heavy chains and shut up like a bite.

274
00:30:14,110 --> 00:30:20,550
I've never seen before, nor have I ever
seen since, such a metallic lady as Jane

275
00:30:20,550 --> 00:30:21,550
Murdston.

276
00:30:22,430 --> 00:30:24,470
Dear Jane, welcome.

277
00:30:26,290 --> 00:30:28,110
Is this your boy, Sister-in-law?

278
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:30,840
This is Davy.

279
00:30:33,060 --> 00:30:34,820
Generally speaking, I don't like boys.

280
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:36,720
How do you do, boy?

281
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,260
Fine, thank you, Mum.

282
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,160
And I hope you are the same.

283
00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:46,860
Relax,

284
00:30:47,540 --> 00:30:48,540
manna.

285
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:49,640
Brother.

286
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Lift up.

287
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:22,860
Clara, my dear, I'm come here to relieve
you of all the trouble I can.

288
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:29,100
You're much too pretty and thoughtless
to have any duties imposed upon you that

289
00:31:29,100 --> 00:31:30,540
can be undertaken by me.

290
00:31:32,540 --> 00:31:34,720
Give me your keys, my dear.

291
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Clara?

292
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,800
It's very hard that in my own house...
In my own house?

293
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,160
Clara!

294
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,220
Our own house, I mean.

295
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:09,720
It's very hard that I may not have a
word to say about domestic matters.

296
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,720
I'm sure I managed very well before we
were married.

297
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,580
Edward, let there be an end of it.

298
00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:15,900
I go tomorrow.

299
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:18,240
Jane Murdstone, sit down and be silent.

300
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,300
I'm sure I don't want anybody to go.

301
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:23,240
I don't ask much, only...

302
00:32:23,630 --> 00:32:24,870
To be consulted sometimes.

303
00:32:25,390 --> 00:32:28,190
Edward, I... Jane Murdstone, will you be
silent?

304
00:32:31,570 --> 00:32:33,230
Clara, you astound me.

305
00:32:35,590 --> 00:32:40,950
When Jane Murdstone is kind enough to
assume, for my sake, something like the

306
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:42,650
condition of a housekeeper's.

307
00:32:44,150 --> 00:32:50,610
And when she meets with a base return...
No, don't say that, my love. This is not

308
00:32:50,610 --> 00:32:51,730
a fit scene for the boy.

309
00:32:53,510 --> 00:32:54,710
David, go to bed.

310
00:32:55,010 --> 00:32:56,910
But, sir... To bed, I say!

311
00:33:07,890 --> 00:33:08,890
Davey...

312
00:33:23,470 --> 00:33:30,190
Davy be firm with the boy He knows his
lesson or

313
00:33:30,190 --> 00:33:33,310
he does not know it. He does not know it

314
00:33:33,310 --> 00:33:48,350
Jane

315
00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:49,530
Murdstone is right.

316
00:33:50,210 --> 00:33:52,370
He does not know it

317
00:33:55,790 --> 00:33:59,830
More firmness is required here, I think.
Much more. Edward, please, no!

318
00:34:00,290 --> 00:34:03,550
Clara, I have often been flogged myself.

319
00:34:05,470 --> 00:34:06,710
Edward, please!

320
00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:13,170
Clara! My dear Jane, Clara is greatly
strengthened and improved, but we can

321
00:34:13,170 --> 00:34:18,350
hardly expect her to bear with perfect
firmness the worry and torment that

322
00:34:18,350 --> 00:34:22,370
David has brought upon her with his
idleness and inattention.

323
00:34:22,730 --> 00:34:23,730
David!

324
00:34:24,679 --> 00:34:28,360
You and I shall go upstairs, boy.

325
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:32,940
But sir, please!

326
00:34:35,340 --> 00:34:36,340
No!

327
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,760
Edward, no!

328
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,380
Clara, are you a perfect fool?

329
00:34:39,620 --> 00:34:40,620
Mr. Marston!

330
00:35:09,930 --> 00:35:10,930
Don't you?

331
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,640
He beat me then as if he'd have beaten
me to death.

332
00:36:12,140 --> 00:36:14,780
How well I recollect.

333
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,520
When I became quiet, what an unnatural
stillness seemed to reign through the

334
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:21,520
whole house.

335
00:36:22,380 --> 00:36:27,020
It grew dark, the night wore on, and
nobody came near me.

336
00:36:28,540 --> 00:36:30,740
Fearful questions tortured me.

337
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,180
Was it a criminal act that I'd
committed?

338
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,060
Would I be sent to prison?

339
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,040
Would I be hanged?

340
00:37:03,340 --> 00:37:04,440
Is that you, Peggy?

341
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,220
Soft as a mouse. All the cattle hear us.

342
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:11,020
Is Mama very angry with me?

343
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,560
No, not very.

344
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,560
But what's to be done with me?

345
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:18,500
School.

346
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,140
Near London.

347
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:30,080
Oh, Jamie.

348
00:37:30,340 --> 00:37:32,600
Mama, please forgive me.

349
00:37:35,660 --> 00:37:37,700
Clara. I do forgive you.

350
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,780
Clara. But try to be better.

351
00:37:41,820 --> 00:37:43,160
Pray to be better.

352
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,020
I do forgive you.

353
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,360
Goodbye, my child.

354
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,840
David.

355
00:37:55,240 --> 00:37:56,240
David.

356
00:37:58,260 --> 00:37:59,260
That's enough.

357
00:38:01,620 --> 00:38:03,920
Now that's enough. It's enough, I say.

358
00:38:14,890 --> 00:38:15,890
Go on, up you go.

359
00:38:23,170 --> 00:38:26,150
I hope you'll repent or you'll come to a
bad end.

360
00:38:27,010 --> 00:38:28,010
Drive on.

361
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,500
Never forget me baby.

362
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,980
I'll never forget you And I'll take as
much care of your ma as I ever took for

363
00:39:06,980 --> 00:39:08,900
you, and I will never leave her

364
00:39:08,900 --> 00:39:14,520
Is

365
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:22,860
she

366
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:23,860
a good book?

367
00:39:30,830 --> 00:39:31,870
It's a pie, Mr. Marcus.

368
00:39:32,230 --> 00:39:33,330
Oh, maybe I will.

369
00:39:42,050 --> 00:39:45,730
Perhaps you might be writing to her.

370
00:39:46,070 --> 00:39:48,170
I'll certainly be writing to her.

371
00:39:48,850 --> 00:39:49,850
Ah, well.

372
00:39:52,090 --> 00:39:53,750
You are writing to her.

373
00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:57,850
Perhaps you recollect to say that...

374
00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:03,730
is willing.

375
00:40:04,530 --> 00:40:05,930
Marcus is willing?

376
00:40:06,210 --> 00:40:07,870
Is that all your message?

377
00:40:08,390 --> 00:40:09,390
Yeah.

378
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:13,450
Marcus is willing.

379
00:40:36,879 --> 00:40:39,800
Come on, hurry up. Move it.

380
00:40:41,220 --> 00:40:42,440
Come on, move.

381
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,260
Is this the new boy, Mr.

382
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,320
Tungay? It is, Mr.

383
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,520
Creakleshark. Fetch him up.

384
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:24,720
Right there.

385
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:29,220
And you?

386
00:41:30,100 --> 00:41:31,180
Tommy Treadles.

387
00:41:31,700 --> 00:41:32,700
Good luck.

388
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Come on.

389
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:35,780
In you go.

390
00:41:39,740 --> 00:41:40,740
So,

391
00:41:47,220 --> 00:41:52,160
this is the young gentleman who's in.

392
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:54,760
or to be far away from you.

393
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:59,960
Come here.

394
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,240
Lively now.

395
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:09,340
I have seen your happiness of knowing
your step-father, Mr. Mercedown,

396
00:42:09,580 --> 00:42:15,120
and a worthy man he is, a man of strong
character.

397
00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:20,520
He knows me, and I know him.

398
00:42:22,700 --> 00:42:24,020
Do you know me, boy?

399
00:42:24,740 --> 00:42:26,520
No, I guess so. Not yet, eh?

400
00:42:26,940 --> 00:42:29,420
But you will soon, eh?

401
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,520
You will soon, eh?

402
00:42:31,940 --> 00:42:33,480
I'll tell you what I am.

403
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,580
I'm a tartar.

404
00:42:35,940 --> 00:42:41,500
A tartar. I'm a determined character.
That's what I am. When I say, I do a

405
00:42:41,500 --> 00:42:44,120
thing. I do it. Do it.

406
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,960
Will I not do it, Mrs. Creakle?

407
00:42:47,980 --> 00:42:50,000
You will, Mr. Creakle.

408
00:42:52,910 --> 00:42:54,710
Beware of him.

409
00:42:55,050 --> 00:42:56,610
He bites.

410
00:42:58,950 --> 00:43:02,930
Mr. Tungay, please oblige.

411
00:43:09,850 --> 00:43:15,470
It seems you're famous for biting balls.

412
00:43:16,010 --> 00:43:17,950
Well, I'm famous for biting.

413
00:43:18,730 --> 00:43:19,930
Ah! Carol!

414
00:43:20,810 --> 00:43:22,350
What about this?

415
00:43:22,910 --> 00:43:23,910
Try a tooth.

416
00:43:24,370 --> 00:43:25,570
Is it not sharp?

417
00:43:26,530 --> 00:43:28,250
Will it bite, eh?

418
00:44:25,150 --> 00:44:29,790
Steerforth was the name of my saviour,
James Steerforth.

419
00:44:31,410 --> 00:44:34,650
He was the oldest boy in the school, the
son of a rich widow.

420
00:44:35,310 --> 00:44:37,290
Steerforth was afraid of nobody.

421
00:44:38,910 --> 00:44:40,670
Well, stand up, Truddles, for God's
sake.

422
00:44:44,630 --> 00:44:45,630
You.

423
00:44:49,490 --> 00:44:50,610
Up you get, young'un.

424
00:44:54,380 --> 00:44:55,380
What's this?

425
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,000
What is this?

426
00:45:01,540 --> 00:45:03,840
I call it a rotten shame, don't you
boys?

427
00:45:04,340 --> 00:45:05,340
Yes!

428
00:45:07,720 --> 00:45:12,680
Good day, Mr. Creakle.

429
00:45:20,420 --> 00:45:21,440
Tuck yourself in.

430
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:26,520
Don't you worry.

431
00:45:29,240 --> 00:45:30,400
I'll look after you.

432
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:42,920
From that moment, I was bound to him by
an unbreakable bond of loyalty and

433
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:43,920
gratitude.

434
00:45:44,740 --> 00:45:48,940
He did make life in that brutal place at
least tolerable.

435
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,360
He loved a story, but it was far too
idle, he said, to read himself.

436
00:45:55,860 --> 00:45:57,000
So I read to him.

437
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,200
Then came a morning when I was summoned
to Mr. Creakle in the parlour. Master

438
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,620
Copperfield! Yes, sir? You wanted in Mr.

439
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,840
Creakle's parlour.

440
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,140
Come on, come on, hurry up!

441
00:46:24,650 --> 00:46:26,070
Come here and sit down, David.

442
00:46:29,450 --> 00:46:32,010
I have something to tell you, my child.

443
00:46:33,290 --> 00:46:36,410
You're too young to know how the world
changes every day.

444
00:46:36,690 --> 00:46:38,550
And the people in it pass away.

445
00:46:40,010 --> 00:46:43,010
But it's something we've all got to
learn, David.

446
00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:46,070
Some of us, when we're very young.

447
00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:53,350
I grieve to have to tell you.

448
00:46:54,700 --> 00:46:59,280
that I hear this morning that your mama
is gravely ill.

449
00:47:02,740 --> 00:47:05,580
She is very dangerously ill.

450
00:47:09,780 --> 00:47:11,400
She is dead.

451
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:20,640
Man that is born of a woman hath but a
short time to live and is full of

452
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:21,640
misery.

453
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,280
He cometh up, and is cut down like a
flower.

454
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,860
He fleeth that it were a shadow, and
never continueth in one day.

455
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,460
In the midst of life we are in death.

456
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:39,260
After you went, she got more timid and
frightened-like.

457
00:47:40,340 --> 00:47:44,580
A hard word was like a blow to her.

458
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,020
But still she would love them two
downstairs.

459
00:47:50,990 --> 00:47:53,990
because she couldn't bear not to love
anyone who was about her.

460
00:47:58,830 --> 00:48:05,310
At last, she says to me, Agaté, my dear,

461
00:48:06,070 --> 00:48:13,010
lay your good arm underneath my neck and
turn me to you, for your face

462
00:48:13,010 --> 00:48:14,570
is going far off.

463
00:48:18,310 --> 00:48:20,090
And she called on God.

464
00:48:21,450 --> 00:48:24,270
to bless and protect her father's boy.

465
00:48:26,550 --> 00:48:29,290
And then she died.

466
00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:34,330
Like a child that had gone to sleep.

467
00:48:58,730 --> 00:49:01,830
I hope that you and Mr. Barkis will be
very happy together, Peggy T.

468
00:49:02,350 --> 00:49:03,750
Bless the boy.

469
00:49:05,830 --> 00:49:08,850
They do say he's a bit tight with money.

470
00:49:09,250 --> 00:49:14,990
So, take this now, Davy, before I'm Mrs.
Barkis.

471
00:49:16,590 --> 00:49:18,170
A whole sovereign.

472
00:49:18,490 --> 00:49:19,490
Shh.

473
00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:21,470
I can't.

474
00:49:21,730 --> 00:49:26,510
You take it and guard it well till the
day you need it.

475
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:40,940
Don't agree. Don't agree.

476
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,900
It's a waste of time. What's more, it's
a waste of money. Put it all to auction.

477
00:49:44,980 --> 00:49:46,080
House and contents.

478
00:49:46,620 --> 00:49:48,040
Stock and barrel.

479
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:51,900
It's quick, and you'll get your price.

480
00:49:54,980 --> 00:49:55,380
Um...

481
00:49:55,380 --> 00:50:04,040
Oh.

482
00:50:05,860 --> 00:50:06,860
David.

483
00:50:07,820 --> 00:50:08,820
Come here, boy.

484
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:17,440
You have a disposition which requires a
great deal of correcting.

485
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:21,580
What he wants is to be crushed. And
crushed it must be, and crushed it will

486
00:50:21,580 --> 00:50:25,420
be. Jane, leave this to me, if you
please.

487
00:50:27,060 --> 00:50:29,540
I am not a rich man, David.

488
00:50:30,340 --> 00:50:31,900
And education is costly.

489
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:36,060
In any case, I can see no advantage to
leaving you at school.

490
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,180
So, I have a business in London.

491
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,040
Murdstone and Grimby.

492
00:50:44,580 --> 00:50:47,020
Mr Quinion, my friend, manages it for
me.

493
00:50:47,420 --> 00:50:51,640
Mr Quinion has suggested that since it
gives employment to other boys, it can

494
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,440
also give employment to you.

495
00:50:53,780 --> 00:50:55,740
Seeing that he has no other prospects.

496
00:50:56,340 --> 00:50:59,640
Your wages will be six shillings per
week.

497
00:50:59,900 --> 00:51:03,060
Your lodgings, which I have arranged,
will be paid for by me.

498
00:51:03,500 --> 00:51:06,880
In short, you're provided for and will
do your duty.

499
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:10,560
There we are.

500
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,280
Merdston and Grimby, we have arrived.

501
00:51:13,620 --> 00:51:17,680
Here lies your future. Merdston and
Grimby.

502
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:25,840
Our chief business is the supply of
wines and spirits to merchant ships.

503
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,320
Come here, Mick.

504
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:29,600
Here's Mick Walker.

505
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,660
This is David Popperfield. He's the work
below.

506
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,760
He's down and instructed in his duties.

507
00:51:43,910 --> 00:51:47,190
Confidentiously. Not to be repeated to
Mr. Q.

508
00:51:49,790 --> 00:51:52,310
I'm off I am. Soon as I may.

509
00:51:52,650 --> 00:51:55,690
I'm gonna be a bargeman. Like me old
pop.

510
00:51:55,930 --> 00:51:57,970
And walk in the Lord Mayor's show.

511
00:51:58,170 --> 00:52:01,130
In black velvet headdress. Like he done.

512
00:52:01,830 --> 00:52:03,970
Here. Mealy. What?

513
00:52:05,410 --> 00:52:07,950
This is Mealy Potatoes.

514
00:52:08,170 --> 00:52:12,050
He do have a name. But we all calls him
Mealy Potatoes.

515
00:52:12,430 --> 00:52:14,690
Cos he looks like an half-boiled spud.

516
00:52:16,150 --> 00:52:17,770
Do he have a name, then?

517
00:52:18,170 --> 00:52:19,250
Copper something.

518
00:52:19,730 --> 00:52:21,510
Field. Copperfield.

519
00:52:21,730 --> 00:52:23,170
David Copperfield.

520
00:52:23,730 --> 00:52:25,670
Show him what he has to do.

521
00:52:27,170 --> 00:52:29,490
Whoa! Good luck, Cocky.

522
00:52:32,610 --> 00:52:34,170
David Copperfield.

523
00:52:35,250 --> 00:52:37,770
Esquire, at your service.

524
00:52:37,990 --> 00:52:40,270
Me lords, ladies...

525
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:41,960
And gentlemen.

526
00:52:43,820 --> 00:52:45,260
Show us your hands.

527
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:47,240
Show us your hands!

528
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:51,440
Now,

529
00:52:55,100 --> 00:52:57,400
milady, observe, if you please.

530
00:53:11,690 --> 00:53:13,410
You try, milady.

531
00:53:20,750 --> 00:53:21,330
No

532
00:53:21,330 --> 00:53:28,090
words can

533
00:53:28,090 --> 00:53:33,510
express the secret agony of my soul, the
sense I had of being utterly without

534
00:53:33,510 --> 00:53:39,250
hope, the misery it was to my young
heart to know that day by day all I had

535
00:53:39,250 --> 00:53:44,260
learnt and thought and delighted in,
would pass away from me, little by

536
00:53:44,260 --> 00:53:47,160
little, never to be brought back any
more.

537
00:53:47,860 --> 00:53:52,600
But then, in that utter darkness, came a
gleam of light.

538
00:54:07,850 --> 00:54:11,970
It came in the form of a stylish,
middle-aged person with no more hair

539
00:54:11,970 --> 00:54:13,850
upon his head than there is upon an egg.

540
00:54:14,170 --> 00:54:15,830
This is Mr. McCobber.

541
00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:21,370
Mr. McCobber is known to Mr. Murdstone.
He takes orders from us on commission

542
00:54:21,370 --> 00:54:24,610
when he can get any. You will be lodging
in his house.

543
00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:27,850
Mr. McCobber, this is David Copperfield.

544
00:54:29,010 --> 00:54:30,010
Honored, Mr.

545
00:54:30,090 --> 00:54:33,850
Copperfield. Under the impression that
your peregrination...

546
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:39,540
in this metropolis have not as yet been
extensive, and that you might have some

547
00:54:39,540 --> 00:54:45,620
difficulty in penetrating the arcana of
the modern Babylon, in short, that you

548
00:54:45,620 --> 00:54:50,660
might lose yourself, I am here to
accompany you to my humble abode.

549
00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:52,360
Thank you, sir.

550
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,360
Come in, sir.

551
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,040
Take Copperfield's box for him. Yes,
sir.

552
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:15,260
Mr Copperfield! Stop!

553
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,100
Pay no debt! Pay me!

554
00:55:18,300 --> 00:55:19,980
I'll have the law on you!

555
00:55:20,220 --> 00:55:25,640
Stop! Mr Copperfield, if there is one
great universal truth to be discovered

556
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:31,860
as we journey through this vale of
tears, it is this. Annual income, 20

557
00:55:31,860 --> 00:55:35,640
pounds. Annual expenditure, 19 pounds,
19 and 6.

558
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,200
Result, happiness.

559
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,080
Annual income, 20 pounds. Annual
expenditure...

560
00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:42,960
Twenty pounds and six pence.

561
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,280
Result? Mary!

562
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:47,200
Come here! Go to the store and pay your
debt, sir!

563
00:55:48,380 --> 00:55:48,960
The

564
00:55:48,960 --> 00:56:03,060
circumstances

565
00:56:03,060 --> 00:56:07,340
have rendered it imperative to enter the
humble abode.

566
00:56:07,820 --> 00:56:12,660
We will not say surreptitiously, but
discreetly and circuitously.

567
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:14,940
In short, by the back door.

568
00:57:09,100 --> 00:57:12,340
Permit me to present to you, Master
David Copperfield.

569
00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:18,140
Master Copperfield. Master Copperfield,
I make known to you, a partner of my

570
00:57:18,140 --> 00:57:23,120
life, my strong right hand, my helpmate,
in short, Mrs. McCobber.

571
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,380
How do you do, ma'am? McCobber!

572
00:57:25,980 --> 00:57:26,980
Upstairs, upstairs.

573
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:28,560
Mr.

574
00:57:33,740 --> 00:57:36,040
McCobber, difficult hit.

575
00:57:37,850 --> 00:57:39,230
almost overwhelming at present.

576
00:57:41,030 --> 00:57:44,750
Whether it is possible to bring him
through them, I cannot say.

577
00:57:45,970 --> 00:57:50,950
If Mr. McCobb's creditors will not give
him time, then they must take the

578
00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:55,650
consequences. And the sooner they bring
it to an issue, the better.

579
00:57:56,630 --> 00:57:59,030
Is Mr. McCobb a great friend of Mr.

580
00:57:59,250 --> 00:58:00,250
Marston, ma'am?

581
00:58:00,730 --> 00:58:01,730
Friends?

582
00:58:02,170 --> 00:58:06,110
I would hardly say friends. A mere
commercial acquaintance.

583
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:13,100
cannot be obtained from a stone, and
neither can anything on account be

584
00:58:13,100 --> 00:58:15,060
obtained at present from Mr. Macorber.

585
00:58:25,500 --> 00:58:32,260
My family are of the opinion that Mr.
Macorber should

586
00:58:32,260 --> 00:58:35,560
quick London and exercise his talents in
the country.

587
00:58:36,380 --> 00:58:39,620
Mr. Macorber is a man of great talent,
Master Copperfield.

588
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:44,240
I'm sure he is. My family are of the
opinion that, with a little interest,

589
00:58:44,580 --> 00:58:48,100
something might be done for a man of his
ability in the Custom House.

590
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:49,480
Yes.

591
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,680
In the meantime, I remain confident that
something will turn up.

592
00:58:55,380 --> 00:58:58,520
My dear, I give you Master Copperfield.

593
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:01,980
You're welcome under our roof, sir.

594
00:59:31,660 --> 00:59:38,600
Forgive me, Mum, I... If I can assist
you in

595
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,120
your troubles, I will.

596
00:59:40,320 --> 00:59:44,200
Master Copperfield, bless you for that.

597
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:56,220
I cannot treat you as a stranger, and
therefore do not hesitate to say

598
00:59:56,220 --> 01:00:00,480
that Mr Macorber's difficulties are
coming to a...

599
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,080
I'm very sorry to hear that, ma'am.

600
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:14,040
With the exception of the heel of a
Dutch cheese, which is not adapted to

601
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:18,160
the wants of the young family, there is
nothing to eat in the house.

602
01:00:20,980 --> 01:00:25,920
Mr. Macorber has taken the children to
the pie shop in the hope of obtaining a

603
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:26,920
little more credit.

604
01:00:28,780 --> 01:00:30,000
Take this, ma'am.

605
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:32,120
Please.

606
01:00:33,300 --> 01:00:34,300
Please.

607
01:00:35,940 --> 01:00:42,900
I was alone, ma'am. I couldn't think

608
01:00:42,900 --> 01:00:43,900
of it.

609
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:48,700
But you could render me another kind of
service.

610
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,120
Anything, ma'am.

611
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:12,100
Mr. Macawber's delicate feelings would
never allow him to... Pawn them, ma'am.

612
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:17,240
Well, let us say, rather, dispose of
them.

613
01:01:18,100 --> 01:01:22,160
And such transactions are too painful
for me.

614
01:01:23,100 --> 01:01:27,220
But if I might ask you, Master
Copperfield... Anything, ma'am.

615
01:01:48,030 --> 01:01:49,250
It's my house.

616
01:01:49,490 --> 01:01:50,850
I live there.

617
01:01:55,570 --> 01:01:56,970
What happened?

618
01:01:57,270 --> 01:01:58,270
Get this present.

619
01:01:59,230 --> 01:02:00,230
All of them.

620
01:02:00,510 --> 01:02:04,450
At last, at last, my dear sir. You're
from the Charles Street Court.

621
01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:05,870
Out of my way.

622
01:02:06,990 --> 01:02:08,970
Don't you cry no ear to him, young sir.

623
01:02:20,780 --> 01:02:22,520
Copperfield. Oh,

624
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:31,180
Copperfield. The blossom is blighted.
The leaf is withered. God of day goes

625
01:02:31,180 --> 01:02:36,420
down upon the dreary scene. And in
short, I am forever flawed.

626
01:02:39,790 --> 01:02:41,890
I never will desert you, Mr. McCorper.

627
01:02:42,090 --> 01:02:43,090
You are my angel.

628
01:02:45,290 --> 01:02:47,990
He is the father of my children.

629
01:02:49,590 --> 01:02:56,510
He is the husband of my affections. And
I never will desert Mr.

630
01:02:56,750 --> 01:02:57,750
McCorper.

631
01:03:07,660 --> 01:03:09,640
I went to the pawn shop and you asked.

632
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:11,760
What?

633
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,700
Copperfield, you are a Trojan.

634
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:28,920
The rent is paid on Windsor Terrace
until the end of the month. You have a

635
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,680
legal right to occupy your room, Master
Copperfield.

636
01:03:32,260 --> 01:03:34,300
Let no man prevent it.

637
01:03:35,150 --> 01:03:39,610
You send out to the pie shop for some
dinner a few cutlets, I think, and a

638
01:03:39,610 --> 01:03:43,190
mutton pudding for the children and a
pint of brandy punch, huh?

639
01:03:43,970 --> 01:03:45,530
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

640
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:06,940
To add to the daily miseries of my own
existence, I was now haunted by the

641
01:04:06,940 --> 01:04:09,760
awful fate that had befallen Mr.
McCorber and his family.

642
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,820
I imagined them shut away forever in
that dismal prison, the children growing

643
01:04:14,820 --> 01:04:18,600
up pale and thin like the roots that
sprout from a potato in a dark cupboard.

644
01:04:21,580 --> 01:04:25,720
Teacher, then, my astonishment and joy,
when upon leaving the warehouse one

645
01:04:25,720 --> 01:04:27,460
night, I beheld Mr. McCorber himself.

646
01:04:34,890 --> 01:04:36,350
It was a relation of Mrs.

647
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:40,850
McCarver's, an aunt who, upon hearing of
our plight, advanced to some sufficient

648
01:04:40,850 --> 01:04:44,010
to obtain our release from that place of
desolation.

649
01:04:44,370 --> 01:04:48,790
She stipulated only that we should at
once quit the modern Babylon and go down

650
01:04:48,790 --> 01:04:49,790
into the country.

651
01:04:52,670 --> 01:04:56,370
All aboard!

652
01:04:59,790 --> 01:05:02,490
Thanks to my aunt, we are safe for the
moment.

653
01:05:02,890 --> 01:05:04,050
But we could not...

654
01:05:04,650 --> 01:05:07,730
to the metropolis without taking our
leave of you, Master Copperfield.

655
01:05:07,970 --> 01:05:11,450
Your conduct has always been most
delicate and obliging.

656
01:05:12,570 --> 01:05:14,330
You have never been a lodger.

657
01:05:16,810 --> 01:05:18,090
You've been a friend.

658
01:05:22,830 --> 01:05:24,370
All aboard!

659
01:05:29,550 --> 01:05:33,430
My dear Copperfield, farewell.

660
01:05:34,270 --> 01:05:36,230
every happiness and prosperity.

661
01:05:37,090 --> 01:05:42,050
If in the progress of revolving years I
could persuade myself that my blighted

662
01:05:42,050 --> 01:05:46,550
destiny has been a warning to you, I
should feel that our friendship, though

663
01:05:46,550 --> 01:05:48,390
brief, had not been in vain.

664
01:05:48,770 --> 01:05:49,770
All aboard!

665
01:05:50,170 --> 01:05:51,170
Yeah!

666
01:05:52,030 --> 01:05:55,930
Lisa, we see Macorber, sir. I really
think we should go now.

667
01:05:56,150 --> 01:06:00,210
In case of anything turning up, of which
I am rather confident...

668
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,340
I shall be extremely happy if it should
lie in my power to improve your

669
01:06:04,340 --> 01:06:06,300
prospects. All aboard!

670
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:09,720
Farewell.

671
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:14,400
Bye.

672
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:18,120
Goodbye.

673
01:06:18,700 --> 01:06:19,700
Farewell now.

674
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:20,960
An aunt.

675
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:26,720
It was Mr. McCorber's mention of an aunt
that recalled to my mind that legendary

676
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:29,860
figure of my own family, Miss Betsy
Trotwood.

677
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:31,960
I know.

678
01:06:33,540 --> 01:06:34,540
I know.

679
01:06:35,100 --> 01:06:37,520
This aunt of yours, you say she lives
down the coast?

680
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:38,800
Near Dover.

681
01:06:39,220 --> 01:06:40,640
Dover, eh? That's far away.

682
01:06:41,300 --> 01:06:43,140
I've got money enough for the journey.

683
01:07:30,470 --> 01:07:33,150
Mick Walker, what is that in your hat?

684
01:07:33,410 --> 01:07:34,410
Nothing.

685
01:07:37,390 --> 01:07:38,530
Nothing indeed.

686
01:07:40,250 --> 01:07:44,410
How many days I was upon the road from
London to the Kent coast, I could not

687
01:07:44,410 --> 01:07:45,850
now say with any degree of accuracy.

688
01:07:46,550 --> 01:07:50,290
I had no coat to my back. My shoes were
soon kicked into holes.

689
01:07:50,860 --> 01:07:54,900
and my entire worldly capital consisted
of three halfpennies which were stolen

690
01:07:54,900 --> 01:07:56,280
from me by a tinker's boy.

691
01:07:57,620 --> 01:08:02,860
I remember a general sensation of my
belly hollow and groaning from hunger,

692
01:08:02,940 --> 01:08:06,200
and of the way ahead appearing to
stretch into infinity.

693
01:08:07,740 --> 01:08:12,260
When at last I reached my aunt's
cottage, my state was pitiful indeed.

694
01:08:13,580 --> 01:08:14,820
To this hour...

695
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,899
I don't know whether my aunt had any
lawful rights over the patch of green in

696
01:08:18,899 --> 01:08:22,720
front of her cottage, but the one great
outrage of her life, demanding to be

697
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,200
constantly avenged, was the passage of a
donkey over that immaculate spot.

698
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:29,800
Donkeys!

699
01:08:30,420 --> 01:08:31,420
Donkeys!

700
01:08:32,300 --> 01:08:33,300
Donkeys!

701
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:34,840
Donkeys!

702
01:08:35,359 --> 01:08:36,899
Stop with you!

703
01:08:37,300 --> 01:08:40,279
My pa'll have the law on you. You see if
he won't.

704
01:08:59,350 --> 01:09:03,710
What? I'm David Copperfield from
Blandaston in Suffolk and my mother's

705
01:09:03,710 --> 01:09:07,290
told me how you came to see her on the
night I was born. It was midnight and

706
01:09:07,290 --> 01:09:10,109
there was a storm and you wanted me to
be a girl.

707
01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:14,149
Get in the water.

708
01:09:22,310 --> 01:09:23,310
Janet, the tonic.

709
01:09:30,050 --> 01:09:33,870
Mr. Dick, here you see young David
Copperfield.

710
01:09:35,270 --> 01:09:39,149
And the question I put to you is, what
should I do with him?

711
01:09:40,109 --> 01:09:41,569
What shall you do with him?

712
01:09:47,109 --> 01:09:49,850
Oh, do with him. Yes, come.

713
01:09:50,319 --> 01:09:52,399
I want some very sound advice.

714
01:09:53,060 --> 01:09:58,220
Why, if I were you, I should wash him.

715
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:02,000
Mr. Dick sets us all right.

716
01:10:04,180 --> 01:10:05,620
There we are, Mr. Kagan.

717
01:10:33,290 --> 01:10:34,089
Good night, Aunt.

718
01:10:34,090 --> 01:10:36,070
Yes, yes, yes. Good night, good night.

719
01:10:46,290 --> 01:10:47,370
Yep, yep.

720
01:10:56,370 --> 01:10:59,210
We're off to Canterbury to consult with
Mr. Wickfield.

721
01:11:00,170 --> 01:11:02,070
How's this for a kite, Davy?

722
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:08,040
There's plenty of string you see and
when it flies high it carries my words

723
01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:14,040
far far away That's my manner of
diffusing them

724
01:11:14,040 --> 01:11:16,640
we'll be home well before dark

725
01:11:39,310 --> 01:11:41,050
Mr. Wickfield is my lawyer.

726
01:11:41,350 --> 01:11:46,790
Here you are. There's nothing to be said
and nothing to be done about anything

727
01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:50,230
until I first put the case to Mr.

728
01:11:50,450 --> 01:11:51,450
Wickfield.

729
01:11:57,810 --> 01:11:59,210
Good day, Miss Chotwood.

730
01:12:00,030 --> 01:12:03,710
Is Mr. Wickfield at home, Uriah Heep? He
is, ma'am.

731
01:12:04,750 --> 01:12:05,750
Fun, girl.

732
01:12:15,790 --> 01:12:16,790
This is my nephew.

733
01:12:16,990 --> 01:12:19,450
I should say my great-nephew, David
Copperfield.

734
01:12:21,110 --> 01:12:23,750
Honoured, I'm sure, Master Copperfield.

735
01:12:25,090 --> 01:12:26,790
Mr Wickfield is in his room.

736
01:12:27,330 --> 01:12:29,370
Yes. You stay here.

737
01:12:30,550 --> 01:12:34,810
Master Copperfield is welcome to wait in
my room, if he should catch him.

738
01:12:36,030 --> 01:12:37,870
Yes. Well, all right.

739
01:12:41,210 --> 01:12:43,610
This way, Master Copperfield.

740
01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:24,360
That is Mr.

741
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,340
Wickfield's daughter, Agnes.

742
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:31,320
Your aunt is a great admiration for Miss
Agnes.

743
01:13:33,860 --> 01:13:34,960
As do we all.

744
01:13:36,780 --> 01:13:38,580
Even so humble a person as myself.

745
01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:42,480
I suppose you're quite a great lawyer
then, Mr. Heap.

746
01:13:43,540 --> 01:13:46,640
Me, Master Copperfield? Oh dear, no, no.

747
01:13:47,460 --> 01:13:50,340
I'm the very humblest person going,
Master Copperfield.

748
01:13:50,780 --> 01:13:54,780
My mother, likewise, was a very humble
person. My father's former calling was

749
01:13:54,780 --> 01:13:55,780
humble.

750
01:13:55,820 --> 01:13:57,260
He was a sexton.

751
01:13:58,620 --> 01:13:59,780
What is he now?

752
01:14:00,140 --> 01:14:03,360
He is a partaker of glory at present,
Master Copperfield.

753
01:14:06,980 --> 01:14:08,780
Dead, Mr Heap.

754
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,020
Alas, Master Copperfield.

755
01:14:13,060 --> 01:14:15,440
How long have you been with Mr
Wickfield?

756
01:14:15,940 --> 01:14:18,320
Going on for a year, Master Copperfield.

757
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:19,980
Why, thank you.

758
01:14:20,380 --> 01:14:21,380
For the inquiry.

759
01:14:21,820 --> 01:14:24,840
I expect you'll be a partner in the
business one day.

760
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:26,420
Wickfield and Heap.

761
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,060
Oh no, Master Gotthefield.

762
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,120
I'm far too humble for that.

763
01:14:41,780 --> 01:14:44,220
Has anything been decided yet, Aunt?

764
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:48,480
No. Nothing yet.

765
01:14:50,890 --> 01:14:57,210
Generally speaking, persons who run away
from things are not popular with me. You

766
01:14:57,210 --> 01:15:01,970
must grasp the nettle of life, and it
won't sting you.

767
01:15:24,230 --> 01:15:25,790
Janet! Donkeys!

768
01:15:27,370 --> 01:15:28,370
Donkeys!

769
01:15:29,110 --> 01:15:33,210
Go away! How dare you trust us! Get
along now! You've no place here!

770
01:15:34,410 --> 01:15:38,490
Donkeys! Get off my land! How dare you
trust us! Go on! Get away!

771
01:15:38,710 --> 01:15:40,270
Go on with you! How dare you!

772
01:15:40,750 --> 01:15:45,630
You get off my land or you'll be sorry
for it! Go on! Go on! You bold-faced,

773
01:15:45,730 --> 01:15:46,770
brazen... Aunt!

774
01:15:48,010 --> 01:15:49,010
What is it?

775
01:15:58,830 --> 01:16:05,650
Miss Trotwood, this unhappy boy has a
sullen and rebellious spirit, a

776
01:16:05,650 --> 01:16:09,970
violent temper, and an untoward and
intractable disposition.

777
01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:14,210
Of all the boys in the world, I believe
this is the worst boy.

778
01:16:15,690 --> 01:16:18,510
Strong, but not at all strong for the
facts, ma'am.

779
01:16:21,130 --> 01:16:23,130
I am come to take him back, ma'am.

780
01:16:23,370 --> 01:16:25,650
To take him back unconditionally.

781
01:16:26,540 --> 01:16:32,260
to dispose of him as I think proper, and
to deal with him as I think right.

782
01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:36,880
Really? I must caution you, Miss
Trotwood.

783
01:16:37,940 --> 01:16:42,020
If you step in between him and me now,
you step in forever.

784
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:45,000
What?

785
01:16:45,900 --> 01:16:47,720
I will not travel.

786
01:16:48,540 --> 01:16:49,800
Is he ready to go?

787
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:55,440
For if he is not, my door will be closed
against him forever.

788
01:16:56,300 --> 01:16:59,940
And I take it for granted that yours is
open on the same basis.

789
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:03,600
Good Lord.

790
01:17:04,220 --> 01:17:05,220
David?

791
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:07,500
Are you ready to go?

792
01:17:08,380 --> 01:17:12,840
Please, Aunt, I beg of you with all my
heart, please don't make me go with him.

793
01:17:14,620 --> 01:17:15,620
Mr.

794
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:19,040
Dick, what shall I do with this boy?

795
01:17:22,830 --> 01:17:25,710
Have him measured for a suit of clothes
directly.

796
01:17:27,070 --> 01:17:33,050
Oh, mister, give me your hand. Your
common sense is invaluable.

797
01:17:33,650 --> 01:17:34,710
Yes, it is.

798
01:17:35,570 --> 01:17:41,370
Don't think I don't know what kind of
life you must have led that poor,

799
01:17:41,510 --> 01:17:47,710
unhappy, misdirected baby. His mother
smirking and

800
01:17:47,710 --> 01:17:52,940
lurking, making eyes at her. I'll be
bound as if you... I couldn't say boo to

801
01:17:52,940 --> 01:17:53,759
a goose.

802
01:17:53,760 --> 01:17:57,100
I never heard anything so elegant in my
life.

803
01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:02,300
Miss Trotwood, if you were a
gentleman... Oh, stuff and nonsense.

804
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:03,680
Don't talk to me.

805
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:05,860
What a choice of words.

806
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:12,200
And as for you, madam, let me see you
ride a donkey across my green again and

807
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,320
as sure as you have a head on your
shoulders, I'll knock your bonnet off

808
01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:16,320
and tread on it.

809
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:21,060
I never heard anything like this person
in my life.

810
01:18:30,890 --> 01:18:32,210
Mr. Dick, the gate.

811
01:18:34,250 --> 01:18:35,810
No, no, no, no, no.

812
01:18:37,390 --> 01:18:43,350
Mr. Dick, consider yourself guardian to
this child, jointly with myself.

813
01:18:43,910 --> 01:18:44,910
Guardian?

814
01:18:45,830 --> 01:18:46,830
Jointly?

815
01:18:47,590 --> 01:18:48,590
Delighted.

816
01:18:49,470 --> 01:18:50,610
Yes, very well.

817
01:18:51,110 --> 01:18:55,610
I've been thinking I might call you
Trotwood.

818
01:18:56,610 --> 01:18:58,170
Trotwood Copperfield.

819
01:18:59,310 --> 01:19:00,610
How would that suit you?

820
01:19:06,190 --> 01:19:08,650
Thus, I began my new life.

821
01:19:09,050 --> 01:19:12,130
In a new name, and with everything new
about me.

822
01:19:13,030 --> 01:19:16,450
I drew a curtain down upon my life at
Murdstone and Grimby.

823
01:19:17,470 --> 01:19:21,230
Even in this narrative, I have lifted it
with a reluctant hand.

824
01:19:23,570 --> 01:19:27,190
My aunt sent me to Dr. Strong's school
in Canterbury.

825
01:19:27,790 --> 01:19:31,830
and during term time I lodged with Mr.
Wickfield and his daughter Agnes.

826
01:19:34,230 --> 01:19:35,230
Agnes.

827
01:19:35,870 --> 01:19:40,510
Her mother had died in giving her birth,
and like me she was an only child.

828
01:19:41,470 --> 01:19:47,950
She quickly became my greatest friend,
my wisest counsellor, my dearest sister.

829
01:20:14,830 --> 01:20:16,450
And so the years passed.

830
01:20:18,270 --> 01:20:22,710
When I was grown to something like man's
estate, my aunt decided I should be a

831
01:20:22,710 --> 01:20:27,290
lawyer, sent me to London, and purchased
articles for me in the firm of Spello

832
01:20:27,290 --> 01:20:29,150
and Jorkins of Doctors' Commons.

833
01:20:48,230 --> 01:20:49,750
Copperfield. Excellent.

834
01:20:50,270 --> 01:20:52,010
Come in. Come in.

835
01:20:59,070 --> 01:21:01,910
On the desk, if you please, Copperfield.

836
01:21:04,130 --> 01:21:09,810
To the Lord Chancellor's office, if you
please.

837
01:21:13,550 --> 01:21:14,550
Quick as your knife.

838
01:21:21,290 --> 01:21:25,050
Sir, I'm terribly sorry. My dear sir, I
do apologise.

839
01:21:25,370 --> 01:21:26,530
No, no, it was my fault, absolutely.

840
01:21:27,310 --> 01:21:28,310
I'm terribly sorry.

841
01:21:30,050 --> 01:21:31,050
Shaddles?

842
01:21:33,250 --> 01:21:34,250
Copperfield?

843
01:21:34,450 --> 01:21:36,150
David Copperfield!

844
01:21:36,390 --> 01:21:37,390
How are you?

845
01:21:37,590 --> 01:21:38,870
It's wonderful to see you.

846
01:21:39,370 --> 01:21:42,310
Can you tell I'm still, uh... Well,
you're still pretty much the same as you

847
01:21:42,310 --> 01:21:43,079
were before.

848
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,940
It was Tommy Travels indeed, my old
school friend.

849
01:21:48,740 --> 01:21:53,020
My aunt had found lodgings for me in
Buckingham Street and made me a modest

850
01:21:53,020 --> 01:21:54,100
but sufficient allowance.

851
01:21:54,580 --> 01:21:58,740
And as I was about to take a short
holiday, my employer, Mr. Spenlow, had

852
01:21:58,740 --> 01:22:00,660
invited me to pass a night at his
country house.

853
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:04,240
Handsome, eh?

854
01:22:06,500 --> 01:22:07,980
Fletcher versus Fletcher.

855
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,260
A dispute between two cousins over a
boundary.

856
01:22:19,860 --> 01:22:22,660
Fletcher versus Fletcher.

857
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:24,700
Highly lucrative.

858
01:22:25,020 --> 01:22:29,140
But then, of course, the very best sort
of professional business is... A

859
01:22:29,140 --> 01:22:30,440
disputed will.

860
01:22:30,780 --> 01:22:36,120
Very pretty pickings indeed to be had
there in the way of argument and counter

861
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:40,140
-argument and the evidence of
interrogatory and counter-interrogatory

862
01:22:40,140 --> 01:22:45,320
and so on. And since the costs
invariably come out of the estate

863
01:22:45,320 --> 01:22:52,180
itself, both sides can go at it in a
lively and spirited manner with expense.

864
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,380
No consideration at all.

865
01:23:36,380 --> 01:23:38,040
Welcome to my

866
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,700
Bobbapil. My daughter, Dora.

867
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:22,560
I was swallowed up in an abyss.

868
01:24:22,820 --> 01:24:26,500
There was no pausing on the brink, no
looking down or back.

869
01:24:26,820 --> 01:24:28,680
I was gone headlong.

870
01:24:29,380 --> 01:24:32,240
I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction.

871
01:24:33,580 --> 01:24:40,080
And then... And this is her confidential
friend and companion, Miss Murdstone.

872
01:24:40,820 --> 01:24:43,480
Alas, Dora has no mother living.

873
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,380
I'm already acquainted with Mr
Copperfield.

874
01:24:46,940 --> 01:24:48,900
It was in his childish years.

875
01:24:50,860 --> 01:24:53,660
Circumstances have separated us since.

876
01:24:55,060 --> 01:24:56,740
I should never have known him.

877
01:25:00,460 --> 01:25:02,400
How she enchanted me.

878
01:25:02,860 --> 01:25:05,760
I was lost in blissful delirium.

879
01:25:06,100 --> 01:25:07,960
But not quite lost.

880
01:25:08,380 --> 01:25:11,240
There was still that spectre hovering.

881
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:30,260
what's his name excuse me my dear

882
01:26:31,100 --> 01:26:35,940
But I must take you away to introduce
you to somebody you'd like to meet.

883
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,360
David Copperfield. A word.

884
01:26:47,300 --> 01:26:51,100
I won't attempt to disguise the fact
that I formed an unfavorable opinion of

885
01:26:51,100 --> 01:26:52,100
you in your childhood.

886
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:57,000
It may have been a mistaken one, or you
may have ceased to justify it.

887
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,020
That is not the question between us now.

888
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,340
I may have my opinion of you.

889
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,640
You may have your opinion of me.

890
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,580
But it is not necessary that those
opinions should come into conflict.

891
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:12,800
It would be better if they did not.

892
01:27:15,580 --> 01:27:21,080
Let us, therefore, meet here as mere
distant acquaintances.

893
01:27:22,740 --> 01:27:23,740
Do you agree?

894
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:27,180
I said I would return, Mr. Coffinfield.

895
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,480
Are you and Mrs. Mudstone talking over
old times?

896
01:27:31,940 --> 01:27:32,940
Old times?

897
01:27:34,020 --> 01:27:35,340
Hardly that, Dora, my dear.

898
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,840
Our acquaintance was very slight.

899
01:27:38,480 --> 01:27:40,020
Was it not, Mr. Copperfield?

900
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:45,000
That was the moment to speak out, to say
the truth.

901
01:27:45,220 --> 01:27:46,300
No, shout it.

902
01:27:48,700 --> 01:27:49,700
Very slight.

903
01:27:56,430 --> 01:27:59,910
There was triumph in her eyes and
contempt.

904
01:28:04,090 --> 01:28:05,410
I can see it now.

905
01:28:06,050 --> 01:28:08,010
I can acknowledge the justice of it.

906
01:28:08,370 --> 01:28:11,190
I'd taken the easy path, the coward's
path.

907
01:28:15,070 --> 01:28:19,730
Dear God, what evil was to flow from
that fatal weakness?

908
01:28:42,990 --> 01:28:46,570
Ah, Miss Venlo. I'm surprised to see you
out here so early.

909
01:28:47,710 --> 01:28:49,230
It's the brightest time of the day.

910
01:28:49,870 --> 01:28:50,870
Don't you think so?

911
01:28:51,410 --> 01:28:52,410
It's bright to me now.

912
01:28:54,170 --> 01:28:56,110
The moment before, it was not so bright.

913
01:28:56,770 --> 01:28:57,770
Do you mean a compliment?

914
01:28:58,190 --> 01:28:59,230
Or has the weather changed?

915
01:29:00,630 --> 01:29:02,210
I'm not aware of any change in the
weather.

916
01:29:05,330 --> 01:29:07,350
You've just come home from Paris, I
believe. Yes.

917
01:29:07,950 --> 01:29:08,950
Have you been there?

918
01:29:09,150 --> 01:29:10,009
No, no.

919
01:29:10,010 --> 01:29:11,870
Oh, you should go. You would love it so
much.

920
01:29:14,060 --> 01:29:15,640
Do you travel a great deal, Mr
Copperfield?

921
01:29:16,100 --> 01:29:20,180
Well, I'm going down to Yarmouth in a
day or two to see old friends.

922
01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:24,060
Yarmouth is quite on the coast, is it
not?

923
01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:26,480
Yes.

924
01:29:27,160 --> 01:29:28,160
Miss Spenlow.

925
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:29,200
Dora!

926
01:29:29,580 --> 01:29:30,580
Dora!

927
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:33,600
Tiresome creature.

928
01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:37,320
I can't think why Papa chose such a
vexatious thing to be my companion.

929
01:29:40,760 --> 01:29:41,760
Dora!

930
01:29:43,470 --> 01:29:47,170
It is very disagreeable having such a
gloomy old person always following one

931
01:29:47,170 --> 01:29:50,650
about. Here, perhaps you should say
something to your father.

932
01:29:50,870 --> 01:29:51,870
I wouldn't dare.

933
01:29:52,350 --> 01:29:53,630
Your father wants you.

934
01:29:55,070 --> 01:29:56,070
Hurry now.

935
01:30:00,950 --> 01:30:02,150
Goodbye, Mr. Copperfield.

936
01:30:07,850 --> 01:30:12,090
Remember, we meet here as mere distant
acquaintances.

937
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:13,880
The past is buried.

938
01:30:15,420 --> 01:30:19,960
I barely heard her. Mr. Copperfield. My
head was full of Dora.

939
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:23,180
Dora. Mr. Copperfield. Dora.

940
01:30:24,060 --> 01:30:26,240
Dora. Do you hear me, Mr. Copperfield?

941
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:30,380
I returned to my lodgings in town in a
sort of trance.

942
01:30:31,580 --> 01:30:35,800
I made some attempts to work at the book
I was writing, but it was no good,

943
01:30:35,900 --> 01:30:39,820
because in every sentence the word Dora
would inadvertently appear.

944
01:30:41,580 --> 01:30:44,880
At length, I determined to seek
distraction at the playhouse.

945
01:30:58,320 --> 01:30:59,460
Mr. Mudstone.

946
01:31:00,580 --> 01:31:01,580
David.

947
01:31:05,060 --> 01:31:06,160
You're going out?

948
01:31:08,300 --> 01:31:10,780
I... I was going to the play.

949
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:15,460
I shall not detain you.

950
01:31:17,500 --> 01:31:21,080
I received a note from my sister this
afternoon.

951
01:31:21,820 --> 01:31:25,280
The chances of life, it seems, have
brought you together again.

952
01:31:27,260 --> 01:31:28,260
Yes.

953
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:34,800
My sister has no wish to revive the
memory of past...

954
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:37,180
differences?

955
01:31:39,860 --> 01:31:42,340
I've already agreed as such with Miss
Murdstone.

956
01:31:43,660 --> 01:31:45,960
You will honor that agreement, I hope,
David.

957
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:57,540
You may imagine that you have much to
tell of her, and of me, to our

958
01:31:57,540 --> 01:31:58,540
detriment.

959
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:05,760
But equally, we have much we could say
about you.

960
01:32:07,240 --> 01:32:12,400
Can you think that I would wish to
resurrect the past, Mr. Murdstone?

961
01:32:15,850 --> 01:32:18,130
It is far too painful to me.

962
01:32:20,750 --> 01:32:22,230
Then I shall detain you.

963
01:32:23,030 --> 01:32:24,030
No further.

964
01:32:35,990 --> 01:32:37,510
The present, Mrs. Murdstone.

965
01:32:38,850 --> 01:32:41,290
I would crave the honor of making her
known to you.

966
01:32:42,470 --> 01:32:44,910
But I must not keep you from the play.

967
01:32:52,780 --> 01:32:55,880
That pale, forlorn figure haunts me to
this day.

968
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,560
I knew what her life was.

969
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:03,100
I knew how he was crushing the spirit
from her, as he had done to my poor

970
01:33:03,100 --> 01:33:04,100
mother.

971
01:33:05,100 --> 01:33:06,320
I wanted to speak.

972
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:12,140
But I dared not, and knew not what to
say.

973
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,000
So I went to the play.

974
01:33:27,940 --> 01:33:31,980
As I came out after the performance, I
encountered another ghost of my

975
01:33:31,980 --> 01:33:36,540
childhood. But here was no grim specter
to resurrect all the pain of it, but a

976
01:33:36,540 --> 01:33:40,020
bright spirit to revive the few fleeting
moments of content.

977
01:33:40,460 --> 01:33:42,600
It was James Steerforth.

978
01:33:44,440 --> 01:33:47,760
Steerforth? My friend and protector of
Salem House School.

979
01:33:48,380 --> 01:33:49,380
Steerforth!

980
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:54,420
Steerforth! Wait!

981
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,000
It is, steer forth.

982
01:34:07,340 --> 01:34:09,100
You don't recognise me, I'm afraid.

983
01:34:11,440 --> 01:34:13,820
Oh, my God, it's little Copperfield.

984
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:17,500
Well, you're just what you always were,
now I look at you, not changed in the

985
01:34:17,500 --> 01:34:19,420
least. My dearest, steer forth.

986
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:22,280
I never, never, never was so glad.

987
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:25,840
I'm overjoyed to see you again. What the
devil are you doing here?

988
01:34:26,060 --> 01:34:27,060
I was at the play.

989
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,480
What a delightful and magnificent
entertainment.

990
01:34:30,500 --> 01:34:33,640
My dear young Davy.

991
01:34:36,460 --> 01:34:37,460
You're a daisy.

992
01:34:38,180 --> 01:34:41,940
A daisy at the field of sunrise is not
fresher than you are.

993
01:34:42,760 --> 01:34:46,780
I thought it was the worst play I ever
saw in my life.

994
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:49,740
It was a perfectly miserable business.

995
01:34:55,050 --> 01:34:57,350
Forgive me, Stifforth. The wine hall was
closed.

996
01:34:57,650 --> 01:34:59,310
I had to go to the tavern.

997
01:34:59,550 --> 01:35:01,190
Are you writing a book, Daisy?

998
01:35:01,930 --> 01:35:02,930
Oh, it's nothing.

999
01:35:03,370 --> 01:35:04,550
Stories and sketches.

1000
01:35:04,810 --> 01:35:05,910
You always loved books.

1001
01:35:08,410 --> 01:35:09,530
And romances.

1002
01:35:11,330 --> 01:35:13,850
I remember when you used to read to me.

1003
01:35:15,550 --> 01:35:17,190
Not much use to company, I'm afraid.

1004
01:35:17,910 --> 01:35:19,150
When do you go to Yarmouth?

1005
01:35:19,830 --> 01:35:20,830
Tomorrow.

1006
01:35:22,730 --> 01:35:24,430
London's devilish style at the moment.

1007
01:35:25,090 --> 01:35:26,950
And I have some thoughts of buying a
boat.

1008
01:35:27,730 --> 01:35:29,930
If you could bear my company, I'll come
down with you.

1009
01:35:31,470 --> 01:35:34,530
My dear Steerforth, I'd be honored and
delighted.

1010
01:35:35,770 --> 01:35:37,170
Well, that's settled, then.

1011
01:35:39,950 --> 01:35:43,850
And so we went together on that fateful
journey.

1012
01:35:44,870 --> 01:35:46,370
I'll see you shortly. Take care.

1013
01:35:47,870 --> 01:35:49,810
Upon our arrival, we parted.

1014
01:35:50,140 --> 01:35:55,200
Steer forth to explore the town. I, to
see Peggy and her husband Barkis, who

1015
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:56,200
was ailing.

1016
01:36:19,660 --> 01:36:20,339
at you.

1017
01:36:20,340 --> 01:36:21,340
Oh!

1018
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:23,560
Oh! Oh!

1019
01:36:24,460 --> 01:36:27,760
Oh! Oh, Barkis will be so glad.

1020
01:36:28,380 --> 01:36:30,760
It'll do him more good than a pint of
liniment.

1021
01:36:31,100 --> 01:36:32,100
How is he?

1022
01:36:32,620 --> 01:36:34,800
Bad. Very bad.

1023
01:36:35,860 --> 01:36:37,000
It's the rheumatics.

1024
01:36:37,900 --> 01:36:39,760
Will you come up and see him, my dear?

1025
01:36:40,660 --> 01:36:41,660
Well,

1026
01:36:42,900 --> 01:36:46,100
Barkis, here's medicine for you.

1027
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:00,120
Master David?

1028
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:02,840
That you, sir?

1029
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:04,600
It is, Mr. Barkis.

1030
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:06,280
Oh.

1031
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:12,240
You will forgive me for not shaking
hands, sir.

1032
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:22,820
But if you was to shake the tarsal of my
nightcap, I'd

1033
01:37:22,820 --> 01:37:24,640
take it friendly.

1034
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:40,740
I'm sorry to see you like this, Mr.
Barkis. Well, I'd be sorry for myself,

1035
01:37:40,880 --> 01:37:41,880
sir.

1036
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:45,600
If it weren't for a certain lady.

1037
01:37:51,060 --> 01:37:54,320
She's the usefulest and best of all
women, sir.

1038
01:37:54,660 --> 01:37:56,520
The CP Barkis.

1039
01:37:57,440 --> 01:37:58,920
No Barkis.

1040
01:37:59,340 --> 01:38:00,720
And that's true, sir.

1041
01:38:02,280 --> 01:38:04,300
That's as true as turnips is.

1042
01:38:06,860 --> 01:38:08,400
It's as true as taxes is.

1043
01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:11,660
And nothing's truer than them.

1044
01:38:17,780 --> 01:38:22,180
A wild place, is it not, Stifel? The sea
roars as if it were hungry for us.

1045
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:25,720
There it is.

1046
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:34,900
It's little Emily.

1047
01:38:44,970 --> 01:38:45,749
How are you?

1048
01:38:45,750 --> 01:38:47,470
Pretty well, Master Davy.

1049
01:38:48,450 --> 01:38:50,210
This is my friend, Steerforth.

1050
01:38:50,930 --> 01:38:52,810
Steerforth, this is Emily. I think I've
mentioned her.

1051
01:38:53,390 --> 01:38:55,110
You were Daisy's childhood friend.

1052
01:38:55,370 --> 01:38:57,250
You played together and dreamed
together.

1053
01:38:57,650 --> 01:39:00,230
He was to be a great writer and you were
a fine lady.

1054
01:39:00,490 --> 01:39:01,730
You told him that?

1055
01:39:03,170 --> 01:39:04,390
How else would I know?

1056
01:39:05,170 --> 01:39:06,690
You were a foolish dream.

1057
01:39:07,850 --> 01:39:08,850
I'm older now.

1058
01:39:09,170 --> 01:39:10,170
And wiser.

1059
01:39:11,510 --> 01:39:12,510
I hope so.

1060
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:15,800
We trade our dreams for what we call
wisdom.

1061
01:39:16,420 --> 01:39:19,320
I wonder, is it a good exchange?

1062
01:39:22,260 --> 01:39:23,660
Master Davy!

1063
01:39:25,500 --> 01:39:27,080
Master Davy!

1064
01:39:27,380 --> 01:39:29,260
Master Davy!

1065
01:39:31,840 --> 01:39:32,840
Davy!

1066
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:37,660
This little Emily of ours ain't my
daughter, sir.

1067
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:42,560
So I understand, Mr. Pegasus. But I
couldn't love her more.

1068
01:39:43,230 --> 01:39:44,630
Well, I'm sure you couldn't.

1069
01:39:45,030 --> 01:39:51,910
Now, there's a certain person... that
has known

1070
01:39:51,910 --> 01:39:56,330
our little Emily ever since the time her
father was drownded. Not much of a

1071
01:39:56,330 --> 01:39:57,430
person to look at.

1072
01:39:57,770 --> 01:40:00,310
Something of my build. Rough.

1073
01:40:00,850 --> 01:40:04,410
Good deal of the Sal Wester about him.
Very salt.

1074
01:40:05,270 --> 01:40:07,330
But he's a decent enough person.

1075
01:40:07,710 --> 01:40:09,410
And his heart's in the right place.

1076
01:40:10,650 --> 01:40:15,940
Now... What do you think this here
blessed tarpaulin go and do?

1077
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:20,580
He loses that there art of his to our
little Amelie.

1078
01:40:20,940 --> 01:40:26,920
All of a sudden, one evening, comes
Amelie from her work and him with her.

1079
01:40:28,380 --> 01:40:31,240
Now look here, he cries out, joyful.

1080
01:40:32,140 --> 01:40:34,440
This is to be my little wife.

1081
01:40:35,120 --> 01:40:38,900
And she says, half bold, half shy.

1082
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:40,620
Yes, uncle.

1083
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,180
If you please.

1084
01:40:43,820 --> 01:40:46,080
If I please.

1085
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:52,660
Will you take up your glasses, one and
all? Oh, and for you, Mrs.

1086
01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:53,880
Gummidge.

1087
01:40:55,180 --> 01:40:59,980
I gives you our Emily and her Anne.

1088
01:41:00,820 --> 01:41:02,020
Emily, I'm going to hide.

1089
01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:14,820
Most engaging little beauty, am I?

1090
01:41:16,060 --> 01:41:18,460
He's a rather chuckle-headed fellow,
isn't he?

1091
01:41:20,420 --> 01:41:23,820
Still, it's a quaint place, and they
certainly are quaint company.

1092
01:41:24,480 --> 01:41:28,900
And it's quite a new sensation, the mix
room.

1093
01:41:31,440 --> 01:41:36,160
The next day, I took the coach to
Blunderston, to the graveyard where my

1094
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:38,620
father and mother lay side by side.

1095
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:45,380
The breeze in the yew trees seemed to
whisper of old days, those happy days

1096
01:41:45,380 --> 01:41:47,600
before my mother married Mr. Murdston.

1097
01:41:48,460 --> 01:41:50,660
And something else it seemed to whisper.

1098
01:41:51,760 --> 01:41:52,860
A name.

1099
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:56,780
The name Dora Spenlow.

1100
01:41:59,840 --> 01:42:04,260
I got back to Yarmouth earlier than
expected, my head still full of that

1101
01:42:04,260 --> 01:42:07,280
name, which to my fevered fancy sounded
like a spell.

1102
01:42:08,740 --> 01:42:09,820
Anyway, it's been a delight.

1103
01:42:10,740 --> 01:42:11,740
I'll see you soon.

1104
01:42:14,820 --> 01:42:15,820
Daisy!

1105
01:42:18,440 --> 01:42:19,440
You're back!

1106
01:42:26,720 --> 01:42:28,360
We met by chance in the street.

1107
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:31,620
Charming little creature. Pity she never
had an education.

1108
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:34,720
Listen, Daisy.

1109
01:42:38,350 --> 01:42:41,450
If anything should ever happen, separate
us.

1110
01:42:42,330 --> 01:42:44,390
You must always think of me at my best,
old boy.

1111
01:42:45,210 --> 01:42:46,790
Steerforth. No, come.

1112
01:42:48,830 --> 01:42:50,150
Let us make that bargain.

1113
01:42:50,590 --> 01:42:53,270
You have no best to me, Steerforth, no
worst.

1114
01:42:54,210 --> 01:42:55,750
You're loved equally in my heart.

1115
01:42:57,690 --> 01:42:58,690
Good.

1116
01:42:59,050 --> 01:43:00,050
Good.

1117
01:43:11,180 --> 01:43:12,720
Do you like music, Mr Copperfield?

1118
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:14,440
It's very beautiful.

1119
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:19,280
Miss Spenlow.

1120
01:43:19,480 --> 01:43:21,100
I like this piece very much.

1121
01:43:21,920 --> 01:43:23,480
But it makes me so sad.

1122
01:43:26,340 --> 01:43:27,340
Dora.

1123
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,260
My dearest, dearest Dora.

1124
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:35,000
I love you.

1125
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:39,760
I've loved you every minute of every day
and every night since I first saw you,

1126
01:43:39,800 --> 01:43:40,800
Dora.

1127
01:43:41,580 --> 01:43:42,700
I'll die without you.

1128
01:43:43,260 --> 01:43:44,260
Don't kill me.

1129
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,900
Say you love me too. Say you'll be mine.

1130
01:43:47,360 --> 01:43:49,360
I can't marry without Papa's consent.

1131
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:52,960
Dora, you mean?

1132
01:43:54,220 --> 01:43:56,080
Dora, my beloved.

1133
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:59,820
Let's go now and ask him. No, that's too
soon.

1134
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:01,680
Once you're established in the law.

1135
01:44:01,940 --> 01:44:03,240
But that could take years.

1136
01:44:03,500 --> 01:44:06,600
And I'm dying of love for you. We must
be careful.

1137
01:44:07,280 --> 01:44:09,200
Papa would get cross. I know he would.

1138
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:16,880
Don't look sad.

1139
01:44:17,720 --> 01:44:19,040
We will meet often.

1140
01:44:19,740 --> 01:44:20,980
And you may write to me.

1141
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:23,320
I may.

1142
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:25,880
But in secret, always in secret.

1143
01:44:26,340 --> 01:44:28,800
You must address your letters to my maid
Hetty.

1144
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:33,800
Dora.

1145
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,100
Dora. Dora, my angel.

1146
01:45:10,610 --> 01:45:13,270
Good evening, Mr. Wickfield. David, this
is Mr. Waterman.

1147
01:45:13,490 --> 01:45:14,490
David, sir?

1148
01:45:14,870 --> 01:45:16,810
I saw your aunt last week. She was well.

1149
01:45:17,970 --> 01:45:18,970
She's always well.

1150
01:45:20,010 --> 01:45:21,450
I won't keep you from Agnes.

1151
01:45:22,150 --> 01:45:23,150
She's just over there.

1152
01:45:24,110 --> 01:45:25,110
Thank you, sir.

1153
01:45:27,510 --> 01:45:29,690
They've always been like brothers and
sisters. Oh.

1154
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:38,920
Trotwood. Agnes.

1155
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:40,640
How good it is to see you again.

1156
01:45:41,180 --> 01:45:43,240
Now, I must have your news quick, Trot,
before we're interrupted.

1157
01:45:44,260 --> 01:45:46,280
First, how do you like Doctor's
comments?

1158
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:48,640
Second, are you still writing that book
of yours?

1159
01:45:49,220 --> 01:45:51,740
And third, who are you in love with?

1160
01:45:55,340 --> 01:45:58,200
As to your first, I like Doctor's
comments very well.

1161
01:45:58,780 --> 01:46:02,280
As to your second, I fear my book will
never be finished.

1162
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,180
And as to your third...

1163
01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:07,220
Why should you think I'm in love with
anybody?

1164
01:46:08,020 --> 01:46:09,880
Are we not as brother and sister, Trot?

1165
01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:11,240
Don't I know you?

1166
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:14,080
Perhaps I've changed.

1167
01:46:20,760 --> 01:46:24,240
Why, Trotwood, I do believe you are in
love.

1168
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,220
But certainly you may not give yourself
over to it till you have finished your

1169
01:46:30,220 --> 01:46:32,080
book. Why do you say you never will?

1170
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:36,500
It's a hopeless jumble of stories and
sketches.

1171
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,620
Is there not some common theme?

1172
01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:40,440
Well, yes.

1173
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:41,960
What?

1174
01:46:42,800 --> 01:46:43,800
Modern life.

1175
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,040
My idea is to turn them into a novel.

1176
01:46:47,020 --> 01:46:48,140
But I know not how.

1177
01:46:48,660 --> 01:46:49,660
Well, then don't.

1178
01:46:49,860 --> 01:46:51,320
Let them stand as they are.

1179
01:46:52,360 --> 01:46:55,540
Call them sketches of modern life.

1180
01:46:57,400 --> 01:46:58,900
But there aren't enough to make a book.

1181
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:00,520
Write some more.

1182
01:47:05,559 --> 01:47:07,600
Ah, Master Copperfield.

1183
01:47:09,640 --> 01:47:10,980
Oh, well, Mr.

1184
01:47:11,180 --> 01:47:12,600
Copperfield, I should say.

1185
01:47:13,500 --> 01:47:14,500
Uriah Heep?

1186
01:47:15,180 --> 01:47:17,460
Only the other comes so natural.

1187
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:23,820
How are you? Oh, honoured indeed, sir,
to be noticed by you in such company. I

1188
01:47:23,820 --> 01:47:28,960
mean, so many great stars of the legal
firmament. One is quite crushed by a

1189
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:30,960
feeling of extreme humbleness. My
father.

1190
01:47:36,570 --> 01:47:40,110
Unwanted, it seems. If you will excuse
me, Master. No, Mr.

1191
01:47:40,590 --> 01:47:41,590
Cotterfield.

1192
01:47:44,710 --> 01:47:46,490
What the devil is he doing here?

1193
01:47:47,330 --> 01:47:48,830
Papa has made him his partner.

1194
01:47:56,610 --> 01:47:57,610
It's true.

1195
01:47:58,410 --> 01:47:59,410
But how?

1196
01:47:59,590 --> 01:48:00,590
Why?

1197
01:48:01,930 --> 01:48:03,710
He's mastered my poor father's
weaknesses.

1198
01:48:04,390 --> 01:48:05,390
Lost them.

1199
01:48:05,630 --> 01:48:09,230
Taken advantage of them until...

1200
01:48:09,230 --> 01:48:15,510
Vipara's afraid of him.

1201
01:48:18,030 --> 01:48:21,150
For my sake, for Vipara's sake, be
friendly to Uriah.

1202
01:48:22,490 --> 01:48:24,070
I must take her from you, Trotwood.

1203
01:49:02,789 --> 01:49:04,390
Good copper field.

1204
01:49:06,270 --> 01:49:09,150
Delightful. Come and meet Sir George
Dixon.

1205
01:49:10,090 --> 01:49:13,630
George. I'm the Spenlow, don't you? I
know a fellow.

1206
01:49:14,070 --> 01:49:16,130
Dearest, dearest Dora. Be careful.

1207
01:49:16,390 --> 01:49:17,650
If the past you suspect.

1208
01:49:20,330 --> 01:49:21,810
I never dreamt you might be here.

1209
01:49:22,390 --> 01:49:25,990
Papa would bring me to think how I
resisted and complained.

1210
01:49:26,990 --> 01:49:28,130
Did you get my letter?

1211
01:49:29,730 --> 01:49:30,730
Hush. Did you?

1212
01:49:31,730 --> 01:49:32,730
Foolish boy.

1213
01:49:32,990 --> 01:49:34,350
Such a flood of words.

1214
01:49:35,730 --> 01:49:38,010
I swear I didn't understand one half of
them.

1215
01:49:43,330 --> 01:49:44,330
Trot?

1216
01:49:46,130 --> 01:49:47,130
Dora.

1217
01:49:47,330 --> 01:49:48,330
Miss Penlow.

1218
01:49:48,650 --> 01:49:49,970
May I present Mrs. Wickfield.

1219
01:49:50,750 --> 01:49:51,890
Agnes, this is Miss Spenlow.

1220
01:49:52,490 --> 01:49:55,250
When I was at school at Canterbury, I
lodged with Miss Wickfield and her

1221
01:49:55,250 --> 01:49:56,250
father. How nice.

1222
01:49:56,430 --> 01:49:58,290
Have you recently arrived, Miss Spenlow?
Just now.

1223
01:49:58,650 --> 01:49:59,650
Excuse me, ladies.

1224
01:50:00,190 --> 01:50:03,390
Copperfield, I want you to meet Sir
George Dixon.

1225
01:50:05,490 --> 01:50:06,490
Excuse me.

1226
01:50:07,950 --> 01:50:10,850
Are you connected in any way to Spenlow
and Jorkins? He's my papa.

1227
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:19,120
Very nice.

1228
01:50:53,290 --> 01:50:54,290
How did you find Miss Wickfield?

1229
01:50:55,510 --> 01:50:58,050
Very, very agreeable. Yeah. And so
clever.

1230
01:50:58,810 --> 01:51:02,230
I think if I had her as a friend a long
time ago, I might be clever myself by

1231
01:51:02,230 --> 01:51:03,188
now.

1232
01:51:03,190 --> 01:51:07,550
Nonsense. There's so many books she's
read, and such books, poetry and history

1233
01:51:07,550 --> 01:51:08,550
and philosophy.

1234
01:51:09,630 --> 01:51:11,110
She quite frightens me.

1235
01:51:11,570 --> 01:51:13,210
I've seen you sometimes with a book.

1236
01:51:13,490 --> 01:51:17,170
But only some foolish romance full of
dukes and diamonds and doomed passion.

1237
01:51:19,030 --> 01:51:21,090
I wonder how he could ever fall in love
with me.

1238
01:51:22,510 --> 01:51:24,030
How could I see you and not love you?

1239
01:51:24,430 --> 01:51:26,430
I suppose you'd never seen me at all.

1240
01:51:27,190 --> 01:51:28,650
I suppose we'd never been born.

1241
01:51:40,390 --> 01:51:41,050
What did you

1242
01:51:41,050 --> 01:51:49,350
think

1243
01:51:49,350 --> 01:51:50,228
of her?

1244
01:51:50,230 --> 01:51:51,230
Of Miss Spenlow?

1245
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:53,980
And you say you're not in love, Trot?

1246
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:56,500
What did you think of that?

1247
01:51:58,840 --> 01:51:59,840
Does her father know?

1248
01:52:05,180 --> 01:52:06,180
Then be careful.

1249
01:52:17,140 --> 01:52:18,260
Master Copperfield!

1250
01:52:19,340 --> 01:52:20,700
Master Copperfield!

1251
01:52:24,620 --> 01:52:26,180
What a wonderful party.

1252
01:52:26,780 --> 01:52:29,140
Except you and I had hardly any chance
to talk.

1253
01:52:30,180 --> 01:52:33,100
You have heard something, I dare say, of
the change in my circumstances.

1254
01:52:34,220 --> 01:52:35,220
Yes.

1255
01:52:35,700 --> 01:52:38,200
What a worthy man Mr. Wickfield is.

1256
01:52:38,460 --> 01:52:39,660
Oh, but he's been included.

1257
01:52:40,180 --> 01:52:44,720
Oh, very much so. Now, it's a topic I
would not touch on to any sober you.

1258
01:52:45,600 --> 01:52:46,980
No, there would have been great loss.

1259
01:52:48,300 --> 01:52:49,660
Disgrace. I don't know what all.

1260
01:52:50,320 --> 01:52:53,040
But I was able to be the humble
instrument of his salvation.

1261
01:52:53,790 --> 01:52:56,650
And so he has put me on an eminence I
could never hope to have reached.

1262
01:52:57,590 --> 01:52:58,810
I congratulate you.

1263
01:52:59,030 --> 01:53:00,030
Oh, thank you.

1264
01:53:00,330 --> 01:53:04,130
You will not think the worse of my
humbleness if I make a tiny confidence

1265
01:53:04,130 --> 01:53:05,130
to you.

1266
01:53:06,870 --> 01:53:07,870
No.

1267
01:53:08,490 --> 01:53:12,870
Did you not think that Miss Agnes
Swetfield was looking very beautiful

1268
01:53:12,870 --> 01:53:13,870
tonight?

1269
01:53:15,810 --> 01:53:16,810
Yes, I did.

1270
01:53:16,950 --> 01:53:18,650
Oh, thank you.

1271
01:53:19,790 --> 01:53:20,790
Why thank me?

1272
01:53:21,610 --> 01:53:25,040
Well... That is the confidence that I
take the liberty of proposing.

1273
01:53:27,020 --> 01:53:32,420
Look, humble as I am, Master
Copperfield, the image of Agnes

1274
01:53:32,420 --> 01:53:35,080
Wickfield has been in my breast for
years.

1275
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:45,760
Oh, Master Copperfield, what a pure
affection do I worship the ground my

1276
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:46,760
Agnes walks on.

1277
01:53:50,160 --> 01:53:51,220
Have you made these?

1278
01:53:52,530 --> 01:53:53,710
Feelings known to her?

1279
01:53:53,930 --> 01:53:57,130
Oh, dear, no, no, no, no, no. Not to any
soul but you.

1280
01:53:57,750 --> 01:53:59,410
No, she's very young still.

1281
01:54:00,470 --> 01:54:02,050
And there's no rush at present.

1282
01:54:02,630 --> 01:54:04,170
And I have to work my way upwards.

1283
01:54:04,890 --> 01:54:07,970
There will be time presently to make her
familiar with my oats.

1284
01:54:08,610 --> 01:54:09,990
As opportunities offer.

1285
01:54:11,290 --> 01:54:12,930
I go this way towards the city.

1286
01:54:13,830 --> 01:54:14,830
I go that way.

1287
01:54:15,590 --> 01:54:16,690
Then we part here.

1288
01:54:17,650 --> 01:54:20,430
If you'll have the goodness to keep my
secret.

1289
01:54:21,100 --> 01:54:22,800
Not general to go against me.

1290
01:54:23,680 --> 01:54:25,340
I'll take it as a particular favor.

1291
01:54:29,180 --> 01:54:32,460
Look, you are as a brother to a master
Copperfield.

1292
01:54:34,860 --> 01:54:36,840
You wouldn't wish to make
unpleasantness.

1293
01:54:41,020 --> 01:54:42,660
Well, I'll bid you good night.

1294
01:54:52,940 --> 01:54:55,700
At first, I was too angry to think
clearly.

1295
01:54:56,900 --> 01:55:02,240
Later, when I was master of myself
enough for reflection, I judged that the

1296
01:55:02,240 --> 01:55:06,880
best course was to do nothing, to keep
to myself what I'd heard.

1297
01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:12,260
The reader may by now be starting to
form an opinion about the soundness of

1298
01:55:12,260 --> 01:55:13,260
my judgment.

1299
01:55:13,860 --> 01:55:18,300
It was at about that era in my life
that, while dining most abominably with

1300
01:55:18,300 --> 01:55:21,940
traddles at his lodging, chanced through
into my path another old friend.

1301
01:55:25,100 --> 01:55:26,600
To school days.

1302
01:55:27,900 --> 01:55:28,900
School days.

1303
01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:32,320
Do you remember the time I got caned by
Old Creakle?

1304
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:37,000
My dear Trattles, Old Creakle caned you
every day of your life.

1305
01:55:37,220 --> 01:55:38,440
He was a brute to you.

1306
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:39,820
Perhaps he was.

1307
01:55:40,260 --> 01:55:42,980
But there was a great deal of fun going
on there too.

1308
01:55:43,820 --> 01:55:47,060
Do you remember the stories you used to
tell in the bedroom after dark?

1309
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:50,900
Old... That'll be my landlord.

1310
01:55:52,330 --> 01:55:53,330
For the rent.

1311
01:55:56,710 --> 01:55:58,810
Good evening, Mr. McCorber.

1312
01:56:03,990 --> 01:56:04,990
Mr.

1313
01:56:06,430 --> 01:56:08,190
McCorber, how do you do?

1314
01:56:09,070 --> 01:56:13,290
Well, sir, you are exceedingly obliging.
I am in state to go.

1315
01:56:14,570 --> 01:56:15,870
And Mrs. McCorber?

1316
01:56:16,490 --> 01:56:19,670
She is also, thank God, in state to go.

1317
01:56:23,929 --> 01:56:25,030
And the children?

1318
01:56:25,390 --> 01:56:30,810
Well, I rejoice to say that they are
likewise in the enjoyment of celubrity.

1319
01:56:32,150 --> 01:56:38,070
Is it possible have I the pleasure of
again beholding Copperfield?

1320
01:56:38,550 --> 01:56:41,750
Mr. Macawber, it's so good to see you
again.

1321
01:56:43,170 --> 01:56:44,910
My dear Copperfield!

1322
01:56:45,690 --> 01:56:47,250
Mrs. Macawber!

1323
01:56:47,570 --> 01:56:48,890
Mrs. Macawber!

1324
01:56:49,360 --> 01:56:53,560
Mrs. McCobber. What is it, Mrs.
McCobber? My dear, here is a gentleman

1325
01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:57,300
of the name of Copperfield who wishes to
renew his acquaintance with you.

1326
01:56:57,720 --> 01:56:59,180
Oh, Mr. Cooperfield.

1327
01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:00,680
Oh,

1328
01:57:02,980 --> 01:57:05,100
my dear Copperfield.

1329
01:57:05,820 --> 01:57:06,820
Oh,

1330
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:10,160
this is luxurious.

1331
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:15,220
This reminds me of a period when I and
mine were in easier circumstances.

1332
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:21,560
Circumstances difficult, Mr. Macorber.
Until recently, I was engaged in the

1333
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:23,580
sale of corn upon commission.

1334
01:57:23,820 --> 01:57:27,160
It was not an avocation of a
remunerative description.

1335
01:57:28,020 --> 01:57:30,320
It did not pay, Mr. Copperfield.

1336
01:57:31,380 --> 01:57:35,640
Mr. Macorber is at present without any
suitable position or employment.

1337
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,260
Where does that responsibility rest?

1338
01:57:38,920 --> 01:57:40,100
With society.

1339
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:43,640
What Mr. Macorber has to do is...

1340
01:57:43,900 --> 01:57:48,280
Throw down the gauntlet to society and
say, in effect, show me who would take

1341
01:57:48,280 --> 01:57:52,040
that up. Let the party immediately step
forward.

1342
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,300
How is this to be done, exactly?

1343
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,100
By advertising in papers.

1344
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:04,420
It appears to me that what Mr Macorber
has to do in justice to himself, in

1345
01:58:04,420 --> 01:58:09,340
justice to society, is to advertise in
all the papers.

1346
01:58:10,900 --> 01:58:11,900
Yes.

1347
01:58:21,210 --> 01:58:22,410
How is he, Peggy T?

1348
01:58:25,290 --> 01:58:27,550
He's going out with the tide.

1349
01:58:55,040 --> 01:58:56,680
He's coming to himself.

1350
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:03,920
Marcus,

1351
01:59:05,740 --> 01:59:06,740
my dear.

1352
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:16,360
CP Marcus.

1353
01:59:19,920 --> 01:59:21,620
No better woman anywhere.

1354
01:59:22,700 --> 01:59:25,920
Look, here's Master Davy.

1355
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:32,720
Back

1356
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:41,980
is...

1357
01:59:41,980 --> 01:59:44,600
is willing.

1358
02:00:02,350 --> 02:00:06,070
I undertook the sad business of
informing Peggy's brother of their loss.

1359
02:00:07,450 --> 02:00:10,970
I had no idea that I was about to learn
of a far greater one.

1360
02:00:21,910 --> 02:00:22,910
Ham?

1361
02:00:26,650 --> 02:00:27,650
Ham, what's the matter?

1362
02:00:30,640 --> 02:00:31,800
Heaven's sake, tell me what's the
matter.

1363
02:00:34,180 --> 02:00:35,180
She's run away.

1364
02:00:36,600 --> 02:00:37,600
Little Emily.

1365
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:40,420
Pride and hope of my heart.

1366
02:00:42,260 --> 02:00:43,260
She's gone.

1367
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:51,900
When you, who love me so much better
than I've deserved, when you read this,

1368
02:00:51,960 --> 02:00:54,020
you shall be far away.

1369
02:00:55,120 --> 02:00:59,680
When I leave my dear home in the
morning, it will be never to come back.

1370
02:01:01,070 --> 02:01:02,670
Unless he brings me back a lady.

1371
02:01:05,330 --> 02:01:06,330
Mr. Paddy.

1372
02:01:08,470 --> 02:01:10,810
It was no fault of yours, Marcy Davy.

1373
02:01:11,910 --> 02:01:14,410
There's no blame to be laid at your
door.

1374
02:01:15,210 --> 02:01:16,290
No fault of mine.

1375
02:01:16,690 --> 02:01:17,690
I don't understand.

1376
02:01:18,190 --> 02:01:21,310
The name of the man is Steerforth.

1377
02:01:22,010 --> 02:01:23,490
And he's a damned villain.

1378
02:01:27,730 --> 02:01:29,010
Where were you going, Daniel?

1379
02:01:31,020 --> 02:01:34,720
Find my poor niece in her shame and
bring her back.

1380
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:37,580
No, Donald, no.

1381
02:01:38,000 --> 02:01:40,540
I'm going to seek her far and wide.

1382
02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:50,660
If any hurt should come to me, tell her
the last words I had for her was, my

1383
02:01:50,660 --> 02:01:53,580
unchanged love is for my darling girl.

1384
02:01:55,500 --> 02:01:56,760
And I forgive her.

1385
02:01:58,570 --> 02:02:02,950
It was the first of a series of great
shocks that one after another

1386
02:02:02,950 --> 02:02:04,650
overwhelmed my young life.

1387
02:02:05,130 --> 02:02:09,270
The next was mild in comparison, though
momentous in its ultimate consequences,

1388
02:02:09,610 --> 02:02:12,530
and began innocently enough with a visit
to Mr. McCorber's.

1389
02:02:18,370 --> 02:02:24,930
My dear friends, you may possibly not be
unprepared to receive the

1390
02:02:24,930 --> 02:02:27,570
intimation that something has turned up.

1391
02:02:28,040 --> 02:02:32,500
I am about to establish myself in one of
the provincial towns of our favorite

1392
02:02:32,500 --> 02:02:35,980
island in immediate connection with one
of the learned professions.

1393
02:02:36,680 --> 02:02:41,100
You, therefore, find us on the brink of
migration and will excuse any little

1394
02:02:41,100 --> 02:02:43,400
discomforts incidental to that position.

1395
02:02:44,140 --> 02:02:49,500
My family may consider it a banishment,
if they please, but I am a wife and a

1396
02:02:49,500 --> 02:02:52,160
mother, and I never will desert Mr.
Macorber.

1397
02:02:52,880 --> 02:02:56,180
I consider it no sacrifice to immure
myself in a cathedral.

1398
02:02:57,390 --> 02:02:58,690
You're going to a cathedral town?

1399
02:02:59,570 --> 02:03:04,210
To Canterbury. I have entered into
arrangements by virtue of which I stand

1400
02:03:04,210 --> 02:03:08,470
pledged and contracted to Mr. Uriah
Heep. Uriah Heep?

1401
02:03:08,790 --> 02:03:13,730
To assist and serve him in the capacity
of confidential clerk.

1402
02:03:16,410 --> 02:03:18,290
Are you acquainted with Mr. Heep?

1403
02:03:19,230 --> 02:03:20,930
Yes, I am indeed, ma'am.

1404
02:03:21,310 --> 02:03:24,070
And I feel it my duty to warn you
against him.

1405
02:03:25,070 --> 02:03:30,170
My dear Copperfield, I am bound to state
to you that it was the prudent

1406
02:03:30,170 --> 02:03:35,590
suggestion of Mrs. McCobber that has
conduced to this result. The gauntlet to

1407
02:03:35,590 --> 02:03:39,770
which you referred upon a former
occasion being thrown down in the form

1408
02:03:39,770 --> 02:03:42,910
of an advertisement was taken up by my
friend Heap.

1409
02:03:43,830 --> 02:03:44,830
Your friend?

1410
02:03:45,730 --> 02:03:50,550
Well, so I flatter myself.

1411
02:03:52,550 --> 02:03:54,050
I know you're I, Heap.

1412
02:03:54,640 --> 02:03:56,120
I've known him since I was a boy.

1413
02:03:57,020 --> 02:03:59,400
He is a false, scheming creature.

1414
02:03:59,720 --> 02:04:01,580
No, Traddles, you'll bear me out.

1415
02:04:02,100 --> 02:04:06,460
He's a man not greatly admired in the
profession, sir, but much feared.

1416
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:13,520
These are opinions to give one pause,
indeed, but certain pecuniary

1417
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:18,520
engagements having been entered into
upon either side, grave difficulties

1418
02:04:18,520 --> 02:04:25,300
must be anticipated in any attempt by me
to extricate myself from... In short...

1419
02:04:25,300 --> 02:04:28,320
Mr. Heap has settled all our debts, Mr.
Copperfield.

1420
02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:31,460
There can't be no good...

1421
02:04:38,350 --> 02:04:40,130
The McCorbers duly left for Canterbury.

1422
02:04:40,630 --> 02:04:44,570
I heard regularly from Agnes, and though
nothing in her letters gave me

1423
02:04:44,570 --> 02:04:49,130
particular cause to feel anxiety for
them, or her, I remained uneasy.

1424
02:04:52,830 --> 02:04:56,910
Mr. Copperfield, would you step in here
a moment?

1425
02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:20,240
Mr. Murdston.

1426
02:05:23,180 --> 02:05:24,200
Miss Murdston?

1427
02:05:24,700 --> 02:05:30,440
David. Miss Murdston, have the goodness
to show Mr. Copperfield what you've

1428
02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:31,440
shown me.

1429
02:05:37,420 --> 02:05:42,880
I believe this is your handwriting, Mr.
Copperfield.

1430
02:05:44,540 --> 02:05:45,540
It is, sir.

1431
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:49,360
Thank you, Miss Murdstone. We won't
detain you further.

1432
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:53,120
What? But my brother and I have come
here today in spite of the fact that he

1433
02:05:53,120 --> 02:05:55,800
lost his wife a month ago and is in
mourning, as you can see.

1434
02:05:56,020 --> 02:05:57,120
Jane Murdstone, enough.

1435
02:05:58,300 --> 02:06:00,400
My private grief is not at issue here.

1436
02:06:04,180 --> 02:06:09,300
My sister has a great deal more to say,
sir. Your sister, Mr Murdstone, has done

1437
02:06:09,300 --> 02:06:10,300
her part.

1438
02:06:10,360 --> 02:06:14,100
It is now between myself and Mr
Copperfield.

1439
02:06:17,900 --> 02:06:18,900
Very well.

1440
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:20,480
I protest.

1441
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:24,640
Jane. But Mr. Copperfield's behavior has
been abominable.

1442
02:06:24,920 --> 02:06:27,940
Jane Murdstone, will you hold your
tongue?

1443
02:06:43,620 --> 02:06:46,700
Well, Mr. Copperfield, have you
anything?

1444
02:06:53,769 --> 02:06:58,090
There's nothing I can say, sir, except
that all the blame is mine.

1445
02:06:59,870 --> 02:07:02,990
Dora... Miss Spenlow, I think you mean.

1446
02:07:04,570 --> 02:07:09,190
Miss Spenlow was persuaded by me to
consent to this secrecy, and I greatly

1447
02:07:09,190 --> 02:07:10,190
regret it.

1448
02:07:10,210 --> 02:07:12,790
But my love can be my only excuse.

1449
02:07:13,390 --> 02:07:16,830
Do not tell me to my face that you love
my daughter, sir.

1450
02:07:17,090 --> 02:07:19,250
Could I defend my conduct if I did not,
sir?

1451
02:07:19,470 --> 02:07:21,270
Can you defend your conduct if you do,
sir?

1452
02:07:22,310 --> 02:07:29,070
Have you considered how... young my
daughter is, how young

1453
02:07:29,070 --> 02:07:33,710
you are, what your prospects are, how
many years it must be before you make a

1454
02:07:33,710 --> 02:07:34,990
penny out of the law?

1455
02:07:35,830 --> 02:07:37,350
There's my book, sir.

1456
02:07:41,110 --> 02:07:43,140
Book? I've written a book.

1457
02:07:43,800 --> 02:07:46,620
It's with a publisher. I may get a good
price for it.

1458
02:07:48,620 --> 02:07:54,920
Such an extravagant notion, Mr
Copperfield. One hardly knows how to

1459
02:07:54,920 --> 02:07:56,000
proceed.

1460
02:07:57,960 --> 02:07:59,420
Consult your friends.

1461
02:08:00,110 --> 02:08:06,170
relations, people with some experience
of the world. See what advice they give

1462
02:08:06,170 --> 02:08:10,990
you. In the meantime, you are not to
communicate in any way with my daughter.

1463
02:08:11,170 --> 02:08:12,170
Is that agreed?

1464
02:08:17,290 --> 02:08:18,290
Yes, sir.

1465
02:08:18,990 --> 02:08:25,650
On your honor... as a gentleman... On my
honor as a

1466
02:08:25,650 --> 02:08:26,650
gentleman...

1467
02:08:37,860 --> 02:08:41,860
Neatly, smoothly keep your eyes on your
work. I determined to go down to Kent to

1468
02:08:41,860 --> 02:08:42,860
see my aunt.

1469
02:08:44,500 --> 02:08:48,340
Imagine my astonishment, then, to find
that very person waiting for me in my

1470
02:08:48,340 --> 02:08:49,340
rooms.

1471
02:08:51,220 --> 02:08:52,220
My dear aunt.

1472
02:08:54,700 --> 02:08:56,020
What an unexpected pleasure.

1473
02:08:56,500 --> 02:08:57,500
Trot.

1474
02:08:57,640 --> 02:08:58,640
How are you?

1475
02:08:59,460 --> 02:09:00,820
Mr. Dick, how do you do, sir?

1476
02:09:01,020 --> 02:09:02,020
How do you do, sir?

1477
02:09:03,860 --> 02:09:05,680
Aunt, wouldn't you be more comfortable
on the sofa?

1478
02:09:06,300 --> 02:09:07,300
No, no.

1479
02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:11,540
No, I prefer to sit upon my property. As
you wish.

1480
02:09:13,920 --> 02:09:14,920
Well?

1481
02:09:15,660 --> 02:09:19,300
Trot, have you got to be firm and
self-reliant?

1482
02:09:20,300 --> 02:09:22,340
I hope so. What do you think?

1483
02:09:23,440 --> 02:09:24,440
I think so.

1484
02:09:25,220 --> 02:09:31,060
Oh, then why, my love, do you think
Betsy Trotwood prefers to sit upon this

1485
02:09:31,060 --> 02:09:32,060
property of hers?

1486
02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:33,280
I don't know.

1487
02:09:33,520 --> 02:09:35,220
Because it's all she's got.

1488
02:09:37,400 --> 02:09:39,020
Because she's ruined.

1489
02:09:39,900 --> 02:09:40,900
Ruined?

1490
02:09:41,220 --> 02:09:43,260
Betsy Trotwood had a certain property.

1491
02:09:44,100 --> 02:09:49,320
Against the advice of her man of
business, I allude to Mr. Wickfield, she

1492
02:09:49,320 --> 02:09:51,640
invested in a gold mining venture and
lost.

1493
02:09:52,080 --> 02:09:55,040
Then she invested in a banking venture
and lost again.

1494
02:09:55,780 --> 02:10:00,680
Finally, she invested in a shipping
venture and was suckinson straight to

1495
02:10:00,680 --> 02:10:01,680
the bottom.

1496
02:10:05,520 --> 02:10:08,080
I have considered the position,
Copperfield.

1497
02:10:10,440 --> 02:10:16,160
I have even discussed the matter with,
um... Mr.

1498
02:10:16,460 --> 02:10:17,460
Jorkins.

1499
02:10:18,940 --> 02:10:25,940
Prima facie, I can see no grounds, legal
grounds, that is, to

1500
02:10:25,940 --> 02:10:32,760
cancel the agreement your aunt signed or
to return to her the money she paid.

1501
02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:33,960
Of course.

1502
02:10:34,600 --> 02:10:37,100
if it was left to me alone.

1503
02:10:38,080 --> 02:10:41,340
But, you know, Mr.

1504
02:10:42,180 --> 02:10:47,060
Jorkins... It's then, though, I want...
I'll return later.

1505
02:10:47,780 --> 02:10:51,240
You won't mind if I put my case directly
to Mr. Jorkins, sir?

1506
02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:55,410
Bye! All means.

1507
02:10:57,030 --> 02:11:03,370
But please excuse me. I have an
appointment at the Lord Chancellor's

1508
02:11:03,370 --> 02:11:04,370
office.

1509
02:11:04,990 --> 02:11:06,530
I must be going.

1510
02:11:07,630 --> 02:11:10,830
I'm sorry to say I can't advance your
object, Copperfield.

1511
02:11:11,270 --> 02:11:14,370
And I, too, have an appointment at the
bank.

1512
02:11:15,190 --> 02:11:16,650
Sir. Sir.

1513
02:11:18,770 --> 02:11:21,110
My aunt can no longer give me an
allowance.

1514
02:11:21,530 --> 02:11:25,580
If I'm obliged to continue working
here... With no salary, how am I to

1515
02:11:25,580 --> 02:11:28,900
live? I see your difficulty,
Copperfield. Indeed, I do.

1516
02:11:29,340 --> 02:11:33,320
But if Mr. Spenlow objects...
Personally, he does not object, sir.

1517
02:11:34,020 --> 02:11:35,020
Personally?

1518
02:11:36,380 --> 02:11:40,080
Personally. Oh, but I assure you, there
is an objection.

1519
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:42,680
It's hopeless, I'm afraid.

1520
02:11:43,420 --> 02:11:45,860
And now I really have got an appointment
at the bank.

1521
02:11:50,210 --> 02:11:53,690
Well, if they won't, they won't. There's
nothing to be done about it.

1522
02:11:54,670 --> 02:11:59,190
Therefore, let us look the case of Betsy
Trotwood in the face and see how it

1523
02:11:59,190 --> 02:12:01,030
stands. Mr. Dick!

1524
02:12:01,470 --> 02:12:02,470
Mr.

1525
02:12:03,130 --> 02:12:05,010
Dick has his hundred a year, thank God.

1526
02:12:05,770 --> 02:12:08,870
I have a little ready money in the
cottage, that's all.

1527
02:12:09,090 --> 02:12:10,870
The cottage must be left, Aunt. Oh.

1528
02:12:12,650 --> 02:12:13,650
Oh.

1529
02:12:13,930 --> 02:12:18,430
There is a small room upstairs I could
take for Mr. Dick.

1530
02:12:18,810 --> 02:12:19,810
Yes?

1531
02:12:20,300 --> 02:12:21,420
You could have my bedroom.

1532
02:12:22,460 --> 02:12:23,560
I'll take the sofa.

1533
02:12:24,960 --> 02:12:28,420
As to money, well, there's my book.

1534
02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:33,520
If I can only get a good price for that,
I can be free of Doctor's Commons and

1535
02:12:33,520 --> 02:12:34,960
marry Dora into the bargain.

1536
02:12:37,420 --> 02:12:38,420
Trot.

1537
02:12:39,000 --> 02:12:40,700
Oh, trot.

1538
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:42,120
Quiet down.

1539
02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:47,420
Trot. You fancy yourself in love.

1540
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:49,960
I adore her with my whole soul.

1541
02:12:50,960 --> 02:12:51,960
Doros Bedlow?

1542
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:58,180
She's... She's very fascinating, I
suppose. My dear aunt, nobody can form

1543
02:12:58,180 --> 02:13:00,380
the least idea of what she is. Not
silly?

1544
02:13:00,680 --> 02:13:04,700
Silly. Not light-headed? Light-headed.
Well, I only ask.

1545
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:10,420
In any case, we must meet reverses
boldly and not suffer them to frighten

1546
02:13:10,420 --> 02:13:14,300
us. We must learn to act the play out.
We must live misfortune downtrod.

1547
02:13:16,300 --> 02:13:20,580
I went down to Kent, quickly concluded
the business of the cottage, then went

1548
02:13:20,580 --> 02:13:23,620
to Mr. Wickfield's house, where I was to
dine with him and Agnes.

1549
02:13:32,800 --> 02:13:37,780
Ah, my dear Copperfield! I am extremely
glad to see you.

1550
02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:44,560
How do you find law, Mr. McCorber? Does
it suit you?

1551
02:13:45,230 --> 02:13:49,490
To a man possessed of the higher
imaginative powers, it is limiting.

1552
02:13:49,910 --> 02:13:55,330
In professional correspondence, the mind
is not at liberty to soar to any very

1553
02:13:55,330 --> 02:13:57,190
exalted form of expression.

1554
02:13:57,810 --> 02:14:01,250
Mrs. McCormack's well, I hope? Oh, very
well, thank God, and would be delighted

1555
02:14:01,250 --> 02:14:05,590
to receive you under our own roof.
Pending an elevation to more ambitious

1556
02:14:05,590 --> 02:14:10,870
domiciliary accommodation, we occupy the
humble abode that formerly gave shelter

1557
02:14:10,870 --> 02:14:13,590
to my employer, Ip, and his mother.
What?

1558
02:14:14,280 --> 02:14:15,620
Where's Uriah living? Here.

1559
02:14:16,620 --> 02:14:17,620
And his mother?

1560
02:14:18,140 --> 02:14:19,140
In this house?

1561
02:14:19,940 --> 02:14:20,940
Trotwood.

1562
02:14:21,560 --> 02:14:26,340
The sight of her instantly put Uriah
Heep and all his works out of my mind.

1563
02:14:26,980 --> 02:14:28,620
I could not think of her troubles.

1564
02:14:29,300 --> 02:14:30,300
Only of mine.

1565
02:14:32,360 --> 02:14:33,960
I think I shall go mad, Agnes.

1566
02:14:35,600 --> 02:14:37,320
I love her to distraction.

1567
02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:39,960
I can't eat or sleep for love of her.

1568
02:14:40,380 --> 02:14:41,900
And her father won't let me see her.

1569
02:14:42,670 --> 02:14:44,110
I can't write to her.

1570
02:14:46,730 --> 02:14:53,650
If there was one gleam of hope, but
there's none, my whole soul is

1571
02:14:53,650 --> 02:14:55,490
being crushed under the burden of this.

1572
02:14:55,730 --> 02:14:56,970
I want to kill myself.

1573
02:14:59,170 --> 02:15:04,210
Or throw all to perdition and carry her
away, elope with her. Please don't speak

1574
02:15:04,210 --> 02:15:05,770
of such things. You torture me.

1575
02:15:08,210 --> 02:15:09,210
Torture you?

1576
02:15:10,410 --> 02:15:11,410
Well, what do you mean?

1577
02:15:12,450 --> 02:15:13,450
Agnes?

1578
02:15:13,750 --> 02:15:16,490
What is it? What mustn't I talk of?
Dearest sister.

1579
02:15:17,790 --> 02:15:18,790
Please.

1580
02:15:20,210 --> 02:15:21,210
Tell me.

1581
02:15:27,870 --> 02:15:32,450
I don't care to hear you talk of wild,
impossible things, Trot.

1582
02:15:34,170 --> 02:15:35,310
Of elopement.

1583
02:15:36,950 --> 02:15:38,930
Of ruining yourself and her.

1584
02:15:42,320 --> 02:15:47,380
Cutting yourself off from those who love
you.

1585
02:15:51,860 --> 02:15:52,860
Dearest Agnes.

1586
02:15:55,940 --> 02:15:57,040
Do you think I do?

1587
02:15:58,360 --> 02:15:58,920
I

1588
02:15:58,920 --> 02:16:07,560
don't

1589
02:16:07,560 --> 02:16:08,560
know, Trot.

1590
02:16:15,690 --> 02:16:17,930
Abandon my aunt, to whom I owe
everything?

1591
02:16:22,290 --> 02:16:23,290
Never.

1592
02:16:31,990 --> 02:16:37,730
And yet, sometimes at dead of night,
when I cannot sleep,

1593
02:16:38,090 --> 02:16:43,250
I seem to hear a demon voice whisper.

1594
02:16:45,870 --> 02:16:47,190
if only you had the courage.

1595
02:16:52,930 --> 02:16:57,030
It was only when Uriah and his mother
joined us for dinner that the full

1596
02:16:57,030 --> 02:17:00,990
extent of his baneful power over that
household became apparent to me.

1597
02:17:02,389 --> 02:17:06,590
It was with some pain that I observed
the frequency with which Mr. Wickfield

1598
02:17:06,590 --> 02:17:07,910
refilled his own glass.

1599
02:17:21,799 --> 02:17:22,799
Shall we withdraw, Mum?

1600
02:17:29,719 --> 02:17:31,020
Don't sit too long tonight, Papa.

1601
02:17:55,520 --> 02:18:01,799
You know, we seldom see our present
visitor, and I should propose

1602
02:18:01,799 --> 02:18:04,820
to give him welcome in a glass.

1603
02:18:05,660 --> 02:18:10,780
Mr Copperfield, your health and
happiness.

1604
02:18:14,440 --> 02:18:18,320
Oh, come, fellow partner, I'll give you
another one.

1605
02:18:20,540 --> 02:18:22,200
To Agnes Wickfield.

1606
02:18:27,530 --> 02:18:32,670
Agnes Wickfield is, I am safe to say,
the divinest of her sex.

1607
02:18:36,070 --> 02:18:38,650
I'll speak out among friends, I hope.

1608
02:18:39,490 --> 02:18:42,969
To be her father is a proud distinction.

1609
02:18:44,469 --> 02:18:48,990
But to be her husband... What?

1610
02:18:49,910 --> 02:18:52,490
What? Sit down, Wickfield.

1611
02:18:53,530 --> 02:18:59,540
If I say... I have an ambition to make
your Agnes my Agnes. I have as good a

1612
02:18:59,540 --> 02:19:00,660
right as any man.

1613
02:19:01,219 --> 02:19:05,660
I dare swear I have a better right to
you.

1614
02:19:06,440 --> 02:19:07,440
To you!

1615
02:19:07,660 --> 02:19:08,660
Mr. Whitefield!

1616
02:19:08,840 --> 02:19:09,840
Leave me go!

1617
02:19:10,120 --> 02:19:11,600
Take care, Whitefield.

1618
02:19:12,639 --> 02:19:14,860
That man is my torture.

1619
02:19:16,080 --> 02:19:19,260
Step by step he has robbed me of my name
and reputation.

1620
02:19:20,040 --> 02:19:24,719
My peace and quiet, my house, my home! I
have kept your name and reputation for

1621
02:19:24,719 --> 02:19:28,100
me. And your peace and quiet, and your
house and home!

1622
02:19:28,379 --> 02:19:29,379
Mr Whitfield!

1623
02:19:29,820 --> 02:19:31,020
Think of Agnes.

1624
02:19:31,940 --> 02:19:33,059
Think of your daughter.

1625
02:19:33,379 --> 02:19:34,379
What's happened, I heard?

1626
02:19:59,370 --> 02:20:00,370
Make it all smooth tomorrow.

1627
02:20:01,790 --> 02:20:06,870
Mr. Wickfield understands his interests
when he's not in liquor.

1628
02:20:08,430 --> 02:20:15,370
Have you sometimes plucked a pear before
it

1629
02:20:15,370 --> 02:20:16,830
was ripe, Mr. Cockfield?

1630
02:20:19,590 --> 02:20:21,930
No? No, I did that.

1631
02:20:22,930 --> 02:20:23,930
Just now.

1632
02:20:25,450 --> 02:20:27,090
But it'll ripen yet.

1633
02:20:30,570 --> 02:20:31,710
Only needs attending to.

1634
02:20:35,970 --> 02:20:36,970
Anyway.

1635
02:20:40,130 --> 02:20:41,270
Be careful.

1636
02:20:42,110 --> 02:20:44,350
Copperfield. I could ruin him, you know.

1637
02:20:44,890 --> 02:20:47,270
Wickfield. Oh, yes. Send him to prison.

1638
02:20:47,830 --> 02:20:48,830
You lie.

1639
02:20:48,870 --> 02:20:49,870
Do lie.

1640
02:20:51,150 --> 02:20:52,150
Ask him, then.

1641
02:20:52,250 --> 02:20:53,250
Go on.

1642
02:21:19,630 --> 02:21:20,630
Can I do nothing?

1643
02:21:22,250 --> 02:21:25,070
I have burdened you with my own sorrows.

1644
02:21:25,750 --> 02:21:26,750
No.

1645
02:21:27,190 --> 02:21:31,130
Agnes, you'd never sacrifice yourself
out of a sense of duty.

1646
02:21:32,750 --> 02:21:35,050
You'd never bestow your hand on that
man.

1647
02:21:35,910 --> 02:21:37,490
I would kill myself first.

1648
02:21:40,010 --> 02:21:42,770
You think perhaps I shall never bestow
my hand on any man?

1649
02:21:57,200 --> 02:22:03,580
It was then, at that moment, that I
knew, if only dimly, what my true

1650
02:22:03,580 --> 02:22:04,680
feeling for her was.

1651
02:22:05,640 --> 02:22:07,760
I said nothing. What could I say?

1652
02:22:09,000 --> 02:22:13,140
In any case, the hand of fate was about
to reach out.

1653
02:22:52,750 --> 02:22:53,750
Dead.

1654
02:22:56,330 --> 02:22:57,330
Hart.

1655
02:22:59,050 --> 02:23:02,230
These are the articles you signed with
Mr. Spenlow.

1656
02:23:02,690 --> 02:23:06,650
Now that he is... Dead, Mr. Jokins?

1657
02:23:08,130 --> 02:23:12,050
Precisely, yes. Now that he is... What
you mentioned.

1658
02:23:12,610 --> 02:23:14,450
The articles cease and determine.

1659
02:23:15,130 --> 02:23:17,630
So also does your employment here.

1660
02:23:19,130 --> 02:23:21,310
In ordinary circumstances, your...

1661
02:23:21,530 --> 02:23:26,030
Aunt would be entitled to have part of
the money she laid down, reimbursed by

1662
02:23:26,030 --> 02:23:30,990
the estate of the... Of the deceased,
Mr. Jorgen.

1663
02:23:32,230 --> 02:23:33,230
Precisely, yes.

1664
02:23:33,630 --> 02:23:36,330
By the... what you mentioned.

1665
02:23:37,350 --> 02:23:42,650
But alas, the circumstances are not
ordinary. Very, very far from ordinary.

1666
02:23:44,350 --> 02:23:45,470
There is no money.

1667
02:23:45,870 --> 02:23:46,870
There must be some.

1668
02:23:47,530 --> 02:23:48,530
Not a penny.

1669
02:23:49,310 --> 02:23:51,070
Mr. Spenlow had, it seemed...

1670
02:23:51,280 --> 02:23:54,380
been running through money far in excess
of his income.

1671
02:23:55,600 --> 02:23:56,600
The house?

1672
02:23:57,280 --> 02:23:59,420
Rented. The carriage?

1673
02:24:00,080 --> 02:24:01,080
Hired.

1674
02:24:01,820 --> 02:24:04,400
Then what is to become of Miss Spendlow?

1675
02:24:36,590 --> 02:24:37,650
It's dreadful, sir.

1676
02:25:08,620 --> 02:25:10,360
With this ring I thee wed.

1677
02:25:10,780 --> 02:25:13,000
With this ring I thee wed.

1678
02:25:13,500 --> 02:25:15,400
With my body I thee worship.

1679
02:25:15,980 --> 02:25:17,640
With my body I thee worship.

1680
02:25:17,960 --> 02:25:21,100
And with all my worldly goods I thee
endow.

1681
02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:23,860
And with all my worldly goods I thee
endow.

1682
02:25:24,240 --> 02:25:28,440
In the name of the Father, and the Son,
and the Holy Ghost.

1683
02:25:28,740 --> 02:25:32,920
Amen. In the name of the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost.

1684
02:25:33,500 --> 02:25:34,500
Amen.

1685
02:26:13,130 --> 02:26:14,890
Are you happy now, you foolish boy?

1686
02:26:15,610 --> 02:26:16,610
Very.

1687
02:26:16,990 --> 02:26:18,150
Very, very happy.

1688
02:26:31,350 --> 02:26:32,550
But was I happy?

1689
02:26:33,310 --> 02:26:34,510
I sold my book.

1690
02:26:34,970 --> 02:26:36,990
The price was not great, but sufficient.

1691
02:26:38,090 --> 02:26:40,550
Dora and I took a cottage on the
northern height of London.

1692
02:26:41,050 --> 02:26:43,690
while my aunt and Mr. Dix stayed on in
my old lodgings.

1693
02:26:44,270 --> 02:26:48,530
We had a slattern of a servant called
Mary Ann, whose written recommendation

1694
02:26:48,530 --> 02:26:51,850
proved to be a greater work of fiction
than I would ever dare attempt.

1695
02:26:52,470 --> 02:26:57,010
Her expenditure was quite phenomenal,
but we never had anything in the house.

1696
02:26:57,830 --> 02:26:58,970
They won't come right.

1697
02:27:00,210 --> 02:27:01,210
Horrid bills.

1698
02:27:02,250 --> 02:27:04,470
Horrid, horrid numbers. They won't do
anything I want.

1699
02:27:05,010 --> 02:27:08,150
They make my head ache so, and you do
nothing to help me, you nasty husband.

1700
02:27:14,030 --> 02:27:15,230
Is it a dreadful muddle?

1701
02:27:18,290 --> 02:27:19,570
It's a bitter one, my love.

1702
02:27:21,190 --> 02:27:22,210
I'll see to this tomorrow.

1703
02:27:23,670 --> 02:27:27,230
Why not now and teach me? Because I'm
behind with my writing.

1704
02:27:28,190 --> 02:27:30,910
I believe you care more for your horrid
books than you do for me.

1705
02:27:31,250 --> 02:27:34,870
Dora. If you could have married one of
your books, I dare say you would have in

1706
02:27:34,870 --> 02:27:38,150
preference to me. How many times do I
have to tell you that this is our bread

1707
02:27:38,150 --> 02:27:39,150
and butter?

1708
02:27:40,410 --> 02:27:42,550
If I can't have peace to write, we
starve.

1709
02:27:42,940 --> 02:27:43,940
And my aunt with us.

1710
02:27:47,780 --> 02:27:48,780
Dora!

1711
02:27:49,060 --> 02:27:50,060
Dora!

1712
02:27:51,260 --> 02:27:52,280
Mary, on the door!

1713
02:27:52,560 --> 02:27:53,560
She's found.

1714
02:27:54,260 --> 02:27:56,020
My darling girl is found.

1715
02:27:57,420 --> 02:27:58,660
She left him.

1716
02:27:59,260 --> 02:28:01,300
Steerforth. I am.

1717
02:28:01,800 --> 02:28:06,180
She made her own poor solitary course to
London. Being close to death.

1718
02:28:06,480 --> 02:28:07,419
Mr. Peggity.

1719
02:28:07,420 --> 02:28:09,200
Oh, she'll live, sir.

1720
02:28:10,540 --> 02:28:11,820
Now she will.

1721
02:28:13,100 --> 02:28:18,080
But feeling herself close to death, she
wrote to Yarmouth and they passed one

1722
02:28:18,080 --> 02:28:19,080
word to me.

1723
02:28:19,220 --> 02:28:20,220
Where is she now?

1724
02:28:21,060 --> 02:28:23,040
Well, here, sir. In London.

1725
02:28:23,800 --> 02:28:26,600
Still weak, sir, in her health.

1726
02:28:27,440 --> 02:28:28,860
But I'll nurse her.

1727
02:28:29,640 --> 02:28:33,580
And when she's well, I'll take her away.

1728
02:28:35,180 --> 02:28:36,200
Far away.

1729
02:28:40,360 --> 02:28:42,520
I had word again from Yarmouth today,
sir.

1730
02:28:43,600 --> 02:28:49,220
He's going there, in that boat of his
from Grimsby, to seek her out.

1731
02:28:51,720 --> 02:28:55,800
Will you go down there, sir?

1732
02:28:58,280 --> 02:28:59,840
Of course, Mr. Begarty.

1733
02:29:00,680 --> 02:29:01,680
Anything.

1734
02:29:02,420 --> 02:29:03,660
Will you tell him?

1735
02:29:04,860 --> 02:29:07,360
My niece will never look upon his face
again.

1736
02:29:07,900 --> 02:29:09,320
No bearing company.

1737
02:29:09,850 --> 02:29:10,850
I will.

1738
02:29:11,410 --> 02:29:13,990
I travelled all night through a great
storm.

1739
02:29:14,730 --> 02:29:18,290
Gusts of rain were sweeping in from the
coast like shells of steel.

1740
02:29:19,790 --> 02:29:23,650
By the time I came to Yarmouth, it had
finally blown itself out.

1741
02:29:25,230 --> 02:29:26,710
Master Davy!

1742
02:29:28,130 --> 02:29:29,930
Davy, my darling boy!

1743
02:29:30,970 --> 02:29:33,530
What brings you here? You sent my word.

1744
02:29:35,030 --> 02:29:36,030
Dear Lord.

1745
02:29:36,610 --> 02:29:37,610
What is it?

1746
02:29:38,650 --> 02:29:39,650
He came to meet him.

1747
02:29:40,770 --> 02:29:44,010
Steerforth. Oh, dear Lord.

1748
02:29:44,610 --> 02:29:45,790
Peggy, what is it?

1749
02:30:04,710 --> 02:30:07,530
His boat foundered in the storm.

1750
02:30:08,400 --> 02:30:09,480
close to shore.

1751
02:30:10,680 --> 02:30:17,620
I saw her as she rolled and dashed like
a

1752
02:30:17,620 --> 02:30:19,080
desperate creature driven mad.

1753
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:24,820
And a wave like a high green hillside

1754
02:30:24,820 --> 02:30:29,740
broke her to pieces.

1755
02:30:34,860 --> 02:30:37,320
He lay as if asleep.

1756
02:30:38,320 --> 02:30:40,360
as I had often seen him lie at school.

1757
02:30:51,860 --> 02:30:55,380
It was a winter of bitter, unrelenting
cold.

1758
02:30:57,120 --> 02:31:00,120
Dora was constantly ailing and often
confined to bed.

1759
02:31:03,660 --> 02:31:08,280
And then, one morning, I received a
letter in the familiar flamboyant hand

1760
02:31:08,280 --> 02:31:09,400
of Mr. Macorber.

1761
02:31:13,820 --> 02:31:14,820
Marianne!

1762
02:31:23,400 --> 02:31:24,660
My dear Anne, try this.

1763
02:31:25,360 --> 02:31:26,520
He's had the same.

1764
02:31:27,300 --> 02:31:28,620
Come in, come.

1765
02:31:35,310 --> 02:31:36,930
Most secret and confidential.

1766
02:31:37,830 --> 02:31:43,130
My dear Copperfield, what you hold in
your hand is the explosion of a volcano

1767
02:31:43,130 --> 02:31:44,130
long suppressed.

1768
02:31:44,330 --> 02:31:49,430
The result of an internal contest more
easily conceived than described.

1769
02:31:49,890 --> 02:31:55,370
But now the struggle is over. I will put
my hand in no man's hand. Until I have

1770
02:31:55,370 --> 02:31:58,950
blown to fragments a detestable serpent.
Uriah Heep!

1771
02:31:59,370 --> 02:32:01,850
Mr. McCorber summons us to Canterbury.

1772
02:32:02,110 --> 02:32:03,110
And we're going.

1773
02:32:13,230 --> 02:32:14,169
He's here.

1774
02:32:14,170 --> 02:32:18,950
Ladies and gentlemen, I trust you will
shortly witness an eruption.

1775
02:32:19,430 --> 02:32:23,950
Mr Copperfield, Mr Trattles, remember
when I give the word, pounce.

1776
02:32:37,190 --> 02:32:38,190
Wow.

1777
02:32:38,710 --> 02:32:41,970
Here is an unexpected pleasure.

1778
02:32:43,210 --> 02:32:45,450
To see so many old friends.

1779
02:32:47,470 --> 02:32:49,370
Why aren't you at your desk, McCobber?

1780
02:32:49,690 --> 02:32:50,690
Run along.

1781
02:32:50,710 --> 02:32:52,930
Go on, run along. I'll talk to you
presently.

1782
02:32:53,330 --> 02:32:58,530
If there is a scoundrel on this earth of
whom I have already talked too much,

1783
02:32:58,630 --> 02:33:01,270
that scoundrel's name is he!

1784
02:33:03,730 --> 02:33:04,730
Mr. Wickfield?

1785
02:33:05,440 --> 02:33:09,640
Would you have the goodness to make
known to present company what, in a

1786
02:33:09,640 --> 02:33:13,820
moment of unadulterated despair and
benightedness of soul, you confided to

1787
02:33:13,820 --> 02:33:18,520
me? In short, the circumstances
pertaining to the loss of the

1788
02:33:18,520 --> 02:33:19,680
Richborough diamonds.

1789
02:33:26,740 --> 02:33:31,420
These valuable jewels were entrusted to
me by a client, Sir George Richborough.

1790
02:33:32,460 --> 02:33:38,820
At his direction, I took them to London
to be sold. In London, I... I mislaid

1791
02:33:38,820 --> 02:33:39,820
them. No.

1792
02:33:40,400 --> 02:33:42,500
You were drunk, Mr. Wickfield.

1793
02:33:44,040 --> 02:33:45,300
And you lost them.

1794
02:33:45,820 --> 02:33:47,420
Or they were stolen from you.

1795
02:33:47,820 --> 02:33:48,820
Stolen?

1796
02:33:50,340 --> 02:33:54,580
Present company will oblige me by
retaining that word.

1797
02:33:56,020 --> 02:34:00,480
Like a fool, instead of going to my
client and placing the facts...

1798
02:34:01,030 --> 02:34:03,510
Honestly, before him, I attempted to
cover up the loss.

1799
02:34:05,130 --> 02:34:08,330
I... I had to borrow the money to pay
Sir George.

1800
02:34:08,830 --> 02:34:12,450
But enough. No, no, I must go on. Then
sit, I beg you. Give me your hand.

1801
02:34:13,750 --> 02:34:19,810
The interest on the loan was crippling.
I... I soon became mired in debt.

1802
02:34:21,130 --> 02:34:27,990
In the end, to maintain secrecy, I was
mad enough to... to borrow the money

1803
02:34:27,990 --> 02:34:29,730
from my own clerk, Uriah Heep.

1804
02:34:32,270 --> 02:34:33,910
ever since I had been in his power.

1805
02:34:34,230 --> 02:34:35,390
Dearest Papa, enough.

1806
02:34:36,930 --> 02:34:42,190
Present company may now wish to consider
an alternative interpretation.

1807
02:34:44,790 --> 02:34:46,610
Elucidated by Mr.

1808
02:34:46,830 --> 02:34:50,930
Wickfield, the Jewess were stolen.

1809
02:34:51,430 --> 02:34:56,590
Stolen by the transcendent and immortal
hypocrite and perjurer, he.

1810
02:34:58,030 --> 02:35:00,930
You know, you're all words, Macorber.

1811
02:35:02,860 --> 02:35:04,840
Windy, empty words.

1812
02:35:06,900 --> 02:35:07,900
Where's your proof?

1813
02:35:08,440 --> 02:35:12,920
The consummate scoundrel, the
intolerable ruffian, the interminable

1814
02:35:12,920 --> 02:35:16,260
cheat and liar, the abandoned rascal
heap demands proof.

1815
02:35:16,740 --> 02:35:18,600
I say to him, here's proof.

1816
02:35:19,100 --> 02:35:22,880
That is my swan box. How dare you touch
it?

1817
02:35:23,140 --> 02:35:24,580
Yuri, Yuri, be humble.

1818
02:35:24,800 --> 02:35:29,800
Yuri, Yuri, be humble. Get out, Mama. Be
humble, Yuri. Make terms.

1819
02:35:30,500 --> 02:35:31,500
Inquire, I say.

1820
02:35:31,850 --> 02:35:34,230
I'll humble them. Will you, Goliath?

1821
02:35:35,050 --> 02:35:38,030
No, I couldn't. Stay away, macabre.

1822
02:35:40,150 --> 02:35:46,870
I'll sue for this, macabre. I'll kill
you. Be humble, Lurie. My Uriah means

1823
02:35:46,870 --> 02:35:47,870
to be humble.

1824
02:35:47,910 --> 02:35:50,490
Don't mind what he says, good gentleman.

1825
02:35:50,830 --> 02:35:51,830
Hold your tongue, mother.

1826
02:35:55,950 --> 02:35:56,950
Ah.

1827
02:35:57,850 --> 02:36:00,030
Oh. The rich for diamonds.

1828
02:36:04,970 --> 02:36:06,010
How did you know that was there?

1829
02:36:12,510 --> 02:36:19,390
I never meant no

1830
02:36:19,390 --> 02:36:20,390
harm, Yuri.

1831
02:36:21,750 --> 02:36:23,310
You betrayed me!

1832
02:36:23,790 --> 02:36:24,790
No, never.

1833
02:36:25,110 --> 02:36:26,530
I'd die first.

1834
02:36:29,610 --> 02:36:33,270
I only wanted to see how they'd look
above my neck.

1835
02:36:36,010 --> 02:36:40,610
I only took him out for a moment to try
him.

1836
02:36:41,270 --> 02:36:42,550
It is true.

1837
02:36:43,370 --> 02:36:46,670
I was at hand, privily and secretly.

1838
02:36:47,090 --> 02:36:52,530
It was only a moment, but enough to
prove beyond a poor adventure the

1839
02:36:52,530 --> 02:36:57,250
monstrous stratagem by which, in short,
to prove your guilt.

1840
02:37:00,950 --> 02:37:03,150
Stop! My lord!

1841
02:37:42,830 --> 02:37:43,830
It's all here.

1842
02:37:44,550 --> 02:37:46,870
Every penny he embezzled and stole.

1843
02:37:47,130 --> 02:37:48,390
He hoarded it all.

1844
02:37:48,870 --> 02:37:50,250
My property.

1845
02:37:51,690 --> 02:37:53,150
I've got it back.

1846
02:37:53,930 --> 02:37:55,830
But, aunt, I thought you said you'd lost
it.

1847
02:37:56,170 --> 02:37:59,210
It was all invested here with Mr
Whitfield.

1848
02:37:59,770 --> 02:38:04,270
I thought it was he that made off with
it. That's why I kept silent. That's why

1849
02:38:04,270 --> 02:38:05,390
I made up that story.

1850
02:38:05,970 --> 02:38:07,390
It was noble of you, ma'am.

1851
02:38:08,950 --> 02:38:10,270
You saved his reputation.

1852
02:38:12,430 --> 02:38:14,590
Which is the same as saying that you've
saved his life.

1853
02:38:14,850 --> 02:38:15,850
Is he sleeping?

1854
02:38:17,230 --> 02:38:18,530
How can I ever thank you?

1855
02:38:23,750 --> 02:38:26,090
Some people David knows, you're my
friends.

1856
02:38:26,610 --> 02:38:28,590
They're going out to Australia shortly.

1857
02:38:29,350 --> 02:38:30,390
Australia? Australia.

1858
02:38:30,890 --> 02:38:33,930
You could go on the same ship. What do
you think of that idea?

1859
02:38:35,150 --> 02:38:36,170
Capital, ma'am.

1860
02:38:36,410 --> 02:38:38,390
But there's the rub, ma'am. Capital.

1861
02:38:38,990 --> 02:38:39,990
We have none.

1862
02:38:44,150 --> 02:38:48,070
Your husband has done a great service,
Mrs. McCorver.

1863
02:38:49,070 --> 02:38:51,950
If you lack money, I'll furnish it.

1864
02:38:52,950 --> 02:38:58,220
I could not receive it as a gift, ma'am.
Mr. Macorber's pride would not permit

1865
02:38:58,220 --> 02:39:04,680
it. If, however, a sufficient sum could
be advanced, say, at 5% interest per

1866
02:39:04,680 --> 02:39:11,480
annum per my personal liability, say, my
notes of hand at 12, 18, and 24 months,

1867
02:39:11,640 --> 02:39:15,080
respectively, to allow time for
something to turn up.

1868
02:39:17,180 --> 02:39:18,180
Here.

1869
02:39:19,560 --> 02:39:23,260
I have a strong conviction that
Australia will prove to be the

1870
02:39:23,260 --> 02:39:25,500
legitimate sphere of action for me and
mine.

1871
02:39:25,720 --> 02:39:29,940
In short, that something of an
extraordinary nature will turn up upon

1872
02:39:29,940 --> 02:39:31,200
that wild and distant shore.

1873
02:39:41,560 --> 02:39:45,460
I now approach an event so painful...

1874
02:39:46,220 --> 02:39:50,200
that from the beginning of this
narrative I have seen it loom larger and

1875
02:39:50,200 --> 02:39:56,240
larger as I advanced, like a tall tree
in a plane, throwing its shadow over

1876
02:39:56,240 --> 02:39:57,240
all. Dora!

1877
02:40:03,400 --> 02:40:08,140
It was the servant, Marianne, who had
robbed us and then run off, leaving Dora

1878
02:40:08,140 --> 02:40:10,140
alone in a state of terror and distress.

1879
02:40:12,620 --> 02:40:13,620
Dora!

1880
02:40:34,350 --> 02:40:35,850
I'll come back first thing in the
morning.

1881
02:40:36,970 --> 02:40:39,830
But if there's any change, send round
for me immediately.

1882
02:40:42,770 --> 02:40:43,210
Over

1883
02:40:43,210 --> 02:40:51,310
the

1884
02:40:51,310 --> 02:40:52,750
next few days she grew worse.

1885
02:40:53,130 --> 02:40:56,650
She wanted very much to see Agnes, so I
sent word to Canterbury.

1886
02:41:28,590 --> 02:41:32,530
Lady... I want to say something.

1887
02:41:33,430 --> 02:41:35,430
I've often thought of saying lately.

1888
02:41:35,670 --> 02:41:36,810
You were mine.

1889
02:41:41,190 --> 02:41:46,670
I think I was too young to be your wife.

1890
02:41:49,230 --> 02:41:51,970
Not in years only, but...

1891
02:42:03,370 --> 02:42:04,510
You silly little creature.

1892
02:42:05,810 --> 02:42:07,830
Not fit to be a wife.

1893
02:42:08,050 --> 02:42:09,530
As fit as I to be a husband.

1894
02:42:13,870 --> 02:42:15,930
It's much better this way.

1895
02:42:18,450 --> 02:42:25,450
In the end I would have wearied you and
disappointed you. What are you saying?

1896
02:42:33,420 --> 02:42:35,040
Will you send her up to me?

1897
02:42:37,160 --> 02:42:40,200
I want to see her quite alone.

1898
02:43:52,940 --> 02:43:59,940
O holy and merciful saviour, thou most
worthy judge eternal, suffer us not at

1899
02:43:59,940 --> 02:44:03,460
our last hour, or any pains of death to
fall from thee.

1900
02:44:05,320 --> 02:44:10,660
Forasmuch as it hath pleased almighty
God to take unto himself the soul of our

1901
02:44:10,660 --> 02:44:15,740
dear sister here departed, we therefore
commit her body to the ground.

1902
02:44:20,740 --> 02:44:22,000
Earth to earth.

1903
02:44:23,010 --> 02:44:26,410
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

1904
02:44:34,650 --> 02:44:40,930
I fled from the cold grave where my wife
lay, from the aunt to whom I owed my

1905
02:44:40,930 --> 02:44:46,290
very existence, and from the woman who
had all my heart.

1906
02:44:56,200 --> 02:45:00,180
But three years I wandered through
Europe until finally I settled in

1907
02:45:00,180 --> 02:45:01,180
Switzerland.

1908
02:45:02,420 --> 02:45:03,940
I wrote more books.

1909
02:45:05,120 --> 02:45:10,640
My fame and reputation grew, but I had
no thought of ending the exile I had

1910
02:45:10,640 --> 02:45:15,960
chosen until one day the nightmare of my
past rose up again.

1911
02:45:22,860 --> 02:45:25,340
It was Murdston.

1912
02:45:25,660 --> 02:45:29,400
and his sister, sitting with an English
girl and her companion with whom I was

1913
02:45:29,400 --> 02:45:30,400
slightly acquainted.

1914
02:45:34,480 --> 02:45:35,480
Miss Horton.

1915
02:45:36,160 --> 02:45:37,160
Miss Skeggs.

1916
02:45:38,560 --> 02:45:41,240
I beg your pardon for this unceremonious
intrusion.

1917
02:45:41,520 --> 02:45:42,520
Mr. Copperfield.

1918
02:45:42,640 --> 02:45:44,360
Won't you do us the honor of joining us?

1919
02:45:46,320 --> 02:45:47,320
Thank you.

1920
02:45:47,680 --> 02:45:49,220
May I present... Mr.

1921
02:45:49,420 --> 02:45:52,360
Murdston and his sister are already
known to me.

1922
02:45:52,980 --> 02:45:53,980
Oh, Mia.

1923
02:45:54,080 --> 02:45:57,640
Distant acquaintances. We can agree on
that. Can we not, Mr. Copperfield?

1924
02:46:00,260 --> 02:46:01,760
No, ma'am. We cannot.

1925
02:46:03,440 --> 02:46:04,440
Not again.

1926
02:46:05,820 --> 02:46:06,820
Never again.

1927
02:46:08,420 --> 02:46:10,200
Mr. Murdstone is my stepfather.

1928
02:46:12,460 --> 02:46:14,440
He charmed my mother into marriage.

1929
02:46:14,800 --> 02:46:17,600
He wanted her fortune, small though it
was.

1930
02:46:18,060 --> 02:46:19,060
Overcare, sir.

1931
02:46:19,260 --> 02:46:20,840
That is what he is, this fellow.

1932
02:46:21,460 --> 02:46:22,860
A calculating...

1933
02:46:23,130 --> 02:46:28,730
cold-blooded fortune hunter without
honor, scruple, or mercy.

1934
02:46:30,810 --> 02:46:31,870
Be silent!

1935
02:46:32,110 --> 02:46:33,610
I have been silent too long.

1936
02:46:33,990 --> 02:46:35,750
I will be silent no more.

1937
02:46:36,110 --> 02:46:38,470
Edward, Edward, come away. Hold your
tongue.

1938
02:46:38,710 --> 02:46:42,490
He bullied and harried my poor, weak
mother into her grave.

1939
02:46:42,850 --> 02:46:46,630
Yes, she was weak, but it was not I who
preyed upon her weakness.

1940
02:46:46,930 --> 02:46:48,290
It was her own son.

1941
02:46:48,890 --> 02:46:53,010
who drained her of the strength that she
needed with his wild behavior and

1942
02:46:53,010 --> 02:46:54,030
importunate demands.

1943
02:46:54,570 --> 02:47:00,550
You killed her as deliberately and as
pitilessly as if you had thrust a knife

1944
02:47:00,550 --> 02:47:01,630
into her heart.

1945
02:47:04,730 --> 02:47:06,470
Repeat that in England, sir.

1946
02:47:07,730 --> 02:47:11,690
Repeat that in a place where you cannot
evade the laws of slander.

1947
02:47:11,910 --> 02:47:13,150
I'll do better than that.

1948
02:47:13,970 --> 02:47:15,090
I'll write it.

1949
02:47:18,640 --> 02:47:19,980
I have a certain fate.

1950
02:47:21,720 --> 02:47:22,720
I'll use it.

1951
02:47:23,420 --> 02:47:27,120
I'll make sure that you are yet more
widely known than I am.

1952
02:47:28,300 --> 02:47:32,620
Universally known as the black-hearted
thief and murderer that you are.

1953
02:47:43,020 --> 02:47:44,020
Edward.

1954
02:47:45,660 --> 02:47:46,900
Edward, come away.

1955
02:47:56,360 --> 02:48:00,160
Before another hour had passed, I was at
my desk composing this present

1956
02:48:00,160 --> 02:48:05,620
narrative. As I finished each page, no,
each sentence, each word, the black

1957
02:48:05,620 --> 02:48:10,380
night of my boyhood melted away until I
stood at last in the light, a man.

1958
02:48:13,880 --> 02:48:15,420
End it, I could not.

1959
02:48:16,600 --> 02:48:23,360
The ending, whatever it should be, happy
or sad, lay not in Switzerland, but in

1960
02:48:23,360 --> 02:48:24,360
England.

1961
02:48:44,760 --> 02:48:45,740
How is

1962
02:48:45,740 --> 02:48:53,740
Agnes?

1963
02:48:53,920 --> 02:48:55,540
Well, very well.

1964
02:48:56,190 --> 02:49:00,870
And as good and beautiful as ever. If I
knew higher praise, I would bestow it on

1965
02:49:00,870 --> 02:49:03,970
her. Has she any admirers?

1966
02:49:05,790 --> 02:49:06,790
Scores.

1967
02:49:07,190 --> 02:49:10,110
She could have been married 20 times
since you've been gone.

1968
02:49:10,570 --> 02:49:11,950
I wonder why she has not.

1969
02:49:13,370 --> 02:49:15,130
I suspect she has an attachment.

1970
02:49:15,990 --> 02:49:16,990
Do you know the man?

1971
02:49:18,090 --> 02:49:21,930
She's never confided in me, but I think
I know the man.

1972
02:49:23,850 --> 02:49:25,670
I think I know the man very well.

1973
02:49:29,530 --> 02:49:33,390
So, will you go over to Canterbury and
see her?

1974
02:49:35,670 --> 02:49:37,410
Are you sure she would welcome it?

1975
02:49:38,430 --> 02:49:41,270
Mr. Dick, what should he do?

1976
02:49:42,030 --> 02:49:44,410
Hire a horse and ride to Canterbury
tomorrow.

1977
02:49:57,480 --> 02:49:58,480
Oh, Trotwood, is it you?

1978
02:49:59,920 --> 02:50:01,480
Is it really you? It is.

1979
02:50:02,520 --> 02:50:03,660
How well you look. And you?

1980
02:50:04,500 --> 02:50:08,860
Did you... Agnes.

1981
02:50:10,600 --> 02:50:11,780
I went away.

1982
02:50:13,060 --> 02:50:14,420
I know why you went away.

1983
02:50:15,560 --> 02:50:16,560
Do you?

1984
02:50:19,280 --> 02:50:20,280
Yes.

1985
02:50:20,840 --> 02:50:22,820
I believe you know everything about me.

1986
02:50:23,960 --> 02:50:25,200
Not everything, perhaps.

1987
02:50:29,160 --> 02:50:30,160
I went away.

1988
02:50:32,040 --> 02:50:33,480
I went away loving you.

1989
02:50:34,800 --> 02:50:36,400
I stayed away loving you.

1990
02:50:37,760 --> 02:50:40,680
And now I return loving you.

1991
02:50:42,900 --> 02:50:43,900
Did you know that?

1992
02:50:46,220 --> 02:50:47,220
Yes.

1993
02:50:49,520 --> 02:50:52,240
I have kept my secret better than you
have kept yours.

1994
02:50:53,020 --> 02:50:54,020
Your secret?

1995
02:50:57,710 --> 02:50:59,070
I've loved you all my life.

1996
02:51:12,210 --> 02:51:18,730
Dearest, dearest Trot, there is one more
thing I have to tell you.

1997
02:51:21,730 --> 02:51:23,830
The day she died, Dora sent you for me.

1998
02:51:25,430 --> 02:51:26,650
I was with her at the end.

1999
02:51:29,640 --> 02:51:31,640
She made a last request to me.

2000
02:51:34,320 --> 02:51:37,040
That one day I would take her place by
your side.

2001
02:51:47,820 --> 02:51:48,820
Will you?

2002
02:51:52,660 --> 02:51:53,660
I will.

2003
02:52:23,600 --> 02:52:25,560
Here, I close this narrative.

2004
02:52:26,220 --> 02:52:28,100
Here, with Agnes at my side.

2005
02:52:29,520 --> 02:52:30,520
Agnes.

2006
02:52:31,300 --> 02:52:34,660
Agnes, Agnes, may you so be near me when
I close my life.

2007
02:52:35,500 --> 02:52:38,820
When realities are melting from me like
the shadows of this story.

2008
02:52:40,000 --> 02:52:42,280
May I find you near me still.
