[Music]

my castaway this week is a public

intellectual philosopher and activist he

says that he sees himself as a

provocateur and a secret of Truth and

his new publication the revolutionist

handbook sets out a new direction for

the country and indeed for all of

Western Society he is John Tanner hi

Kirsty hi and welcome so before we get

to that new book John tell me what's

your first record well all my life I've

been fascinated by The Legend of Don

Juan

so my first choice is the Overture to

Mozart's Don Giovanni

[Music]

Mr Robinson well

well

Octavius

it's the common lot we must all face it

sometime sit down you must face it Mr

ramston but I owed him a great deal he

did everything for me that my father

could have done if he had lived he had

no son of his own you see he had

daughters and yet he was as good to my

sisters to me

and his death was so sudden yeah I'd

always intended to thank him to let him

know that I'd not taken all his care of

me as a matter of course but I waited

for an opportunity

and now he's dead

without a moment's warning he will never

know what I felt how do we do that

octavis he may know it you if we cannot

tell come come don't grieve that's right

let me tell you something to consult the

last time I saw him it was In This Very

Room he said to me TV is a generous lad

and the soul of honor and when I see how

little consideration other men get from

their sons I realize how much better

than a son he's been to me now that

doesn't that do you good Mr Ramen he

used to say to me that he'd only met one

man in the world who was the soul of

honor and that was robot ramsden oh that

was his partiality we were very old

friends you know but there was something

else

say about you I I wonder whether I want

to tell you or not you know best it was

something about his daughter about Anne

oh do you tell me that Mr ramston well

he said he was glad after all that you

were not his son because he thought that

someday and he'll do

well perhaps I shouldn't have told you

if only I thought I had a chance

you know Mr

Durant care about money or about what

people

and I can't bring myself to take an

interest in the business of struggling

for them well Anne has a most Exquisite

nature but she's so accustomed to being

the thick of that sort of thing that she

thinks a man's character incomplete if

he's not ambitious

he knows that if she married me she

would have to reason herself out of

being ashamed of me for not being a big

success of some kind

nonsense you're too modest you're

besides she's a wonderful beautiful girl

her father's wish would be sacred to her

you know I don't believe she's ever once

given her own wish as a reason for doing

anything or not doing it is always

father wishes me to or mother wouldn't

like it is really almost a fault in her

I've often told her she must learn to

think for herself I couldn't ask her to

marry me because her father wished it Mr

ramsden

Phil

perhaps not um

no no of course I know I see that no you

certainly couldn't but um

when you you win her on your own terms

it'll be a great happiness to her to

fulfill her father's desires as well

you'll ask her won't you at all events I

promise you I shall never ask anyone

else

she'll accept you my boy although you

have one great drawback what drawback is

that Mr ramsden

should rather say which of my many

drawbacks I'll tell you Octavius

yeah I have in my hand the most infamous

the most scandalous and most mischievous

the most blaggardly text

I've not read it

I wouldn't soil my mind with such filth

but I've read about the paper save it

the title is quite enough for me the

revolutionist book and pocket companion

Anna m-i-r-c

member of the idol Rich class

under my roof no Octavius

I know my dead friend was right when he

said you were a generous lad I know you

feel bound to stand by this town but I

ask you to consider the altered

circumstances now you were treated as a

son in my friend's house you lived there

your friends could not be turned from

the door this Tanner was in and out of

there almost from his childhood well

well and his father was alive that was

his business not mine but now Tana is a

grown man and Annie a grown woman and

her father is gone we don't as yet know

the exact terms of his will be often

talked it over with me and I have no

doubt that the will appoint me as any

guardian and trustee now I tell you once

and for all I can't and I won't have any

placed in such a position that you must

out of regard for you suffer the

intimacy of this fellow Terror it's not

fair it's not right it's not kind oh

what are you gonna do about it but Anne

herself has told Jack that whatever his

opinions are he will always be welcome

because he knew her dear father

God is mad but her damn duty to her

parents

excuse me octaves you you know that I am

not a bigoted or a Prejudice man

[Music]

plain

black Ransom but I draw the line at

anarchism and free love and that sort of

thing

now environmentally trustive and his

inheritance she will have to learn that

she has a duty to me I won't have it I

will not have it she must forbid John

Tyler's house and so much

Mr Tanner wish to see you sir

antenna Jack

how dense the timer calling me uh see I

tell it to you I'm sorry you are turning

my friend from your door like that he's

he's not at the door sir he's

there with Miss

he came with Mrs Whitfield and miss Ann

and Miss Robinson sir oh that's very

like Jack Mr ramston you must see him

even if it's only to turn him out

downstairs and ask Mr Tanner to be good

enough to step down here well I must say

we're all a confounded pieces of

impertinence well if these are Anarchist

manners I hope you like him

but Ali with him yes that's just what

surprises me he's so desperately afraid

of Anne there must be something the

matter do you know what this is a it's a

copy of whitfield's Will and got it this

morning when you see Anne you mean I

presume Miss Whitfield I mean uh and

your and Tafe is Anna now Heaven helped

me my end what do you mean mean do you

know who is appointed Anne's guardian

and trustee by this will I believe I am

you you and I man I I

both of us you that's impossible it's

only two hideously true

[Music]

ramsden get me out of it somehow you

don't know Anne as well as I do she'll

commit every crime a respectable woman

can and justify every one of them by

saying it was the wish of her Guardians

she'll put everything on us and we'll

have no more control over her than a

couple of mice over a cat Jack I wish

you wouldn't talk like that about Anne

this chapter in love with her that's

another complication well

she'll either jilt him and say I didn't

approve of him or marry him and say you

ordered her to

I tell you this is the most staggering

blow that's ever fallen on a man of my

age and temperament let me see that will

I cannot believe that my old friend

Whitfield would have shown such a want

of reason but still associate me it's

all my own doing that's the horrible

irony of it he told me one day that you

were to be Anne's guardian and like a

fool I began arguing with him about the

Folly of leaving a young woman under the

control of an old man with obsolete

ideas

my ideas are so totally I just finished

writing an article called down with

government by the gray head and I was

full of arguments and illustrations I

said the proper thing was to combine the

experience of an old hand with the

Vitality of a young one hang me if he

didn't take me at my word and alter his

will it's dated only a fortnight after

that conversation appointing me joint

Guardian with you I shall refuse to act

oh what's the good of that I've been

refusing all the way from Richmond

and keeps on saying that of course she's

only an orphan that's the latest game

and orphan it's like hearing a

battleship talk about being at the mercy

of wins and waves

this is not fair Jack she has lost her

father and you ought to stand by her

stand by her what danger is she in she

has the lore on her side she has popular

sentiment on her side she has plenty of

money and no conscience all she wants

with me is to load up all her moral

responsibilities on me and do what she

likes at the expense of my character I

can't control her and she can compromise

me as much as she likes I might as well

be her husband

and refuse to accept the guardianship I

shall certainly refuse to hold him

jointly with you yes and what would she

say to that what does she say to it just

that her father's wishes are sacred to

her and though she should always look up

to me as her guardian whether I care to

face the responsibility or not refuse

you might as well refuse to accept the

Embraces of a Bella constrictor who

wants to get around your neck this sort

of talk is not kind to me Jack if you

loved a woman I would not compare her to

a boa constrictor in your presence

however much I might dislike her I do

not believe that Whitfield was in his

right senses when he made that will

you've admitted that he made it under

your influence you won't be pretty well

obliged to me for my influence he leaves

you two hundred thousand for your

trouble he leaves TV a trust for his

sister and 500 000 for himself I can't

take it he was too good to us he won't

get it my boy if ramsden upsets the will

oh I see you've got me in a cliff still

he leaves me nothing but the

responsibility of Anne's morals on the

grounds that I have already more money

than is good for me that shows he had

his wits about him doesn't it I admit

that Mr Robinson I think you are

prejudiced against Jack he is a man of

honor and incapable of abusing his

position oh don't David you're not I'm

not a man of honor I'm a man struck down

by a dead handy

you must marry her after all and take

her off my hands and I had my heart set

on saving you from her Jack you talk of

saving me from my highest happiness yes

a lifetime of happiness if it were only

the first half hours happened this TV

I'd buy it for you with my last penny

with a lifetime of happiness no man

alive could bear it

[Applause]

I am proud of your contempt for my

character and opinions your own are set

forth in here I believe what do you

think of them choose apples I would read

such material and then why did you buy

it I did not buy it it was sent to me by

some foolish lady who seems to admire

your views I was about to dispose it

when Octavius interrupted me I shall do

so now with your permission ah you have

no more manners than I have myself

however that saves ceremony between us

what do you intend to do about this will

make a suggestion certainly Octavius

I'll be forgetting that Anne herself

might have some wishes in this matter I

quite intended and his wishes shall be

consulted in every reasonable way but

she is a very young and inexperienced

woman at ramsden I begin to pity you I

don't want to know how you feel towards

me Mr Turner and we'll do just exactly

what she likes and what's more she'll

Force us to advise her to do it and

she'll put the blame on us if it turns

out badly so as Tavia is longing to see

her I am not Hey You Lie Dave you are so

let's have her down and ask her what she

intends us to do off the duty and

fetcher and don't belong for the

strained relations between ramsden and

myself will make the interval rather

painful

never mind then Mr ramsden is not

serious Mr Tanner you are the most

impudent person I have ever met I know

it ramsden yes even I cannot wholly

conquer shame we live in an atmosphere

of Shame we're ashamed of everything

that's real about us ashamed of

ourselves of our relatives of our

incomes of our accents of our opinions

of our experience just as we're ashamed

of our naked skins the more things a man

is ashamed of the more respectable he is

why you're ashamed to buy my book you're

ashamed to read it the only thing you're

not ashamed of is to judge me for it

without having read it and that only

means you're ashamed to have heterodox

opinions look at the effect I produce

because my fairy Godmother withheld from

me this gift of shame I have every

possible virtue imagine how do you think

so well of yourself all you mean by that

is that you think I ought to be ashamed

of talking about my virtues you don't

mean that I haven't got them you know

perfectly well that I am a sober and

honest citizen as yourself as truthful

personally and much more truthful

politically and moral denied it I will

not allow you or any man to treat me as

if I was a mere member of the British

public

[Music]

tempted prejudices I scorn its Anonymous

I demand the right to think for myself

oh you pose as an advanced man let me

tell you I was an advanced man before

you were born

I knew it was a long time ago

because ever I was I'd go more advanced

every day more advanced in years

Polonius Polonius

so you're Hamlet I suppose fair I'm only

the most impotent man you've ever met

that's your notion of a thoroughly bad

character when you want to give me a

piece of your mind you ask yourself

answer Justin upright man what's the

worst you can barely say of me Thief

liar forger adulterer perjurer Glutton

drunkard not one of these names fit me

you have to fall back on my deficiency

and shame well

yeah I admit it I even congratulate

myself but if I were ashamed of my real

self I would cut a stupider figure as

any of the rest of you cultivate a

little impudence ramsden and you'll

become quite a remarkable man you have

no desire for that sort of notoriety

bless you I knew that answer would come

you'd be ashamed to say anything else

I'm sorry Annie to force business

Hollywood and sad time like the present

but your poor dear father's will has

raised a very serious question you read

it I believe

I I must say I am surprised to find Mr

Turner named as joint Guardian with

myself of you and Rhoda I I don't know

that I can concern consent to act under

such conditions Mr Tanner has I

understand some objection also but I do

not profess to understand this nature he

will no doubt speak for himself but we

are agreed that we can decide nothing

until we know your views

I'm afraid I shall have to ask you to

choose between my soul Guardianship and

that of Mr Tanner for I fear it is

impossible for us to undertake a joint

original now and I do beg you not to put

it on me I have no opinion on the

subject and if I had it would probably

not be attended to I am quite content

with whatever you three think best mama

knows that she is not strong enough to

Bear the whole responsibility for me and

Rhoda without some help and advice Rhoda

must have a guardian and though I am

older I do not think any young unmarried

woman should be left quite to her own

guidance I hope you agree with me granny

granny do you intend to call your

Guardians grandma oh don't be foolish

Jack Mr ramsden has always been Grandpa

bar robot to me I'm Granny's Annie and

he is Annie's granny

my first learned to speak I hope you're

satisfied Mr Turner go on Annie I quite

agree with you well

if I am to have Guardians

when I set aside anybody who my dear

father appointed for me you you prove of

your father's choices it is not for me

to approve or disapprove I accept it my

father loved me and you best what was

good for me of course I understand your

feelings and it is what I should have

expected of you under does you credit

but it does not settle the question so

completely as you think let me put a

case to you suppose you were to discover

that I had been guilty of some

disgraceful action that I was not a man

your poor dear father took me for would

you still consider it right that I

should be rude as guardian I can't

imagine you doing anything disgraceful

granny you haven't done anything of the

sort have you no sir well then

you are both so full of natural and

affectionate and feel his family matters

that it is very hard to put the

situation fairly before you such my

friend you're not putting the situation

fairly before them well put it yourself

I will and random things I'm not fit to

be your guardian and I quite agree with

him he considers that if your father had

read my writing he wouldn't have

appointed me that's the disgraceful

action he's been talking about he thinks

it's your duty for Rhoda's sake to ask

him to act alone and to make me withdraw

say the word and I will but I haven't

read your work Jack then read it at once

and decide

if you don't wish it if one Guardian is

to forbid you to read the other

Guardians work how are we to settle it

suppose I order you to read it what

about your duty to me I'm sure you would

never purposely force me into a painful

dilemma

yes and it's all very well

as I said quite natural and becoming but

you must make a choice one way or the

other we are as much of a violent

reviewer I feel like

I'm dreams to decide

if you two men won't carry them out I

must say it is rather hard that you

should put the responsibility on and it

seems to me that people are always

putting things on other people in this

world I greatly object to act with Mr

channel that is all why what's the

matter with poor Jack My Views are too

advanced for him they are not I don't

know what nonsense

[Music]

himself who has made all the difficulty

come Jack

be kind to me in my sorrow

you don't refuse to accept me do you

no

[Music]

I let myself in for it so

I suppose I must face it

help and advise me and Jack the Giant

Killer and Jack's Inseparable friend

Ricky Ticky TV now that you are Anne's

guardian and trustee Mr Amsterdam I wish

you would speak to her about her habit

of giving people nicknames they can't be

expected to like it how can you say such

a thing mama oh I wonder can you be

right have I been inconsiderate do you

want to be treated like a grown-up man

[Music]

oh please call me Ricky Dicky TV

Octavius would hurt me cruelly you know

I'm beginning to think that Granny is

rather a piece of impertinence but I

never dreamed of it's hurting you my

dear any nonsense I insist on granny I

won't answer to any other name but

anything you all spoil me except Jack

I think you ought to call me Mr Tanner

[Music]

Miss ancestor Don Juan Don Juan oh is

there any harm in it I didn't know well

I certainly won't call you that then may

I call you jack until I can think of

something else oh for heaven so don't

try to invent anything worse I

capitulate I consent to Jack I embraced

Jack here ended my first and last

attempt to assert my authority you see

Mama they all really like to have pets

name well I think you might at least

drop them until we're out of mourning

how could

how control as usual ramsden we're

beaten smashed non-antotized like her

mother stutter

Katie

do you want to count for something in

the world

I want to count for something as a poet

I want to write a great play with Anne

as the heroine yes I confess it take

care Toby the play with arms the heroine

is all right but if you're not very

careful by Heaven she will marry you no

such luck Chuck oh why man your head is

in the lioness's mouth you're half

swallowed already in three bites bite

one Ricky bite two Ticky bite three

Tavian down again

the same to everybody Jack you know her

ways yes she breaks everybody's back

with the

with the soul but the quest

the quest will she eat my own opinion is

that she means to eat you it is horrible

to talk like that about her when she's

upstairs crying for her father

but I do so want her to eat me that I

can pay your brutalities because they

give me hope TV that's the devilish side

of a woman's Fascination she makes you

will your own destruction

it's not destruction it's fulfillment

yes of her purpose and that purpose is

neither her happiness nor yours but

Nature's Vitality in a woman is a Blind

Fury of creation she sacrifices herself

to it do you think she'll hesitate to

sacrifice you it is just because she is

self-sacrificing that you will not

sacrifice though she loves that's the

profoundest of mistakes David it is a

self-sacrificing women who sacrifice

others most recklessly because

which they are kind in little things

because they have a purpose which is not

their purpose but that of the whole

universe a man is nothing to them but an

instrument of that purpose don't be

ungenerous Jack they take the tenderest

care of us yes as a soldier takes care

of his rifle

or a musician of his violin but do they

allow us any purpose or freedom of our

own will they lend us to one another cam

the strongest man escaped from them when

once he is appropriated they tremble

when we're in danger and they weep when

we die but the tears are not for us but

for a father wasted a son's breeding

thrown away they accuse us of treating

them as a mere means to our pleasure but

how can so feeble and transient of folly

as man's selfish pleasure enslave a

woman as the whole purpose of nature

embodied in a woman can enslave a man

what matter if the slavery makes us

happy well no matter at all if you have

no purpose of your own and are like most

men the mere breadwinner but you TB are

an artist that is you have a purpose as

absorbing and as unscrupulous as a

woman's purpose not unscrupulous quite

unscrupulous the true artist will let

his wife starve his children go barefoot

his mother drudged for his living at 70

sooner than work at anything but his art

to him in his half-liver sector half

vampire he gets into intimate relations

with them to study them to strip the

mask of convention from them to surprise

their inmost secrets knowing that they

have the power to Rouse his deepest

creative energies to rescue him from his

cold reason to make him see visions and

and dream dreams to inspire him as he

calls it he persuades women but then

they do this for their own purpose

whilst he really means them to do it for

his

since marriage began the great artist

has been known as a bad husband but he's

worse he's a child robber a bloodsucker

a hypocrite and a cheat perish the race

and wither a thousand women if only the

sacrifice of them enable him to act

hamnet better

to pay to find a picture write a deeper

poem a greater play a profounder

philosophy for Mark utaby the artist's

work is to show us ourselves as we

really are our minds are nothing but

this knowledge of ourselves and he who

adds a job to such knowledge creates new

mind as surely as any woman creates new

men in the Rage of that creation he is

as ruthless as the woman as dangerous to

her a she to him and that's horribly

fascinating of all human struggles there

is none so treacherous and remorseless

as the struggle between the artist man

and the mother woman which shall use up

the other that's the issue between them

and it is all the deadlier because in

your romanticist can't they love one

another

even if it was so and I don't admit it

for a moment it is out of the deadliest

struggles that we get the noblest

characters remember that next time you

meet a grizzly bear or a Bengal tiger

Davey I meant where there is love Jack

oh the tiger will love you there's no

love sincere than the love of food

and loves you that way she patted your

cheek as if it were a nicely underdone

chocolate foreign

I should have to run away from you if I

did not make it a fixed rule not to mind

anything you say you come up with

perfectly revolting things sometimes

I hardly expected to find you still here

Mr Tanner am I in the way good morning

hello Guardian stop Jack granny he must

know sooner or later

Octavius I have a very serious piece of

news for you it is of the most private

and delicate nature of the most painful

nature too I am sorry to say do you wish

Mr Tanner to be present whilst I explain

I have no secrets from Jack before you

decide that finally let me say that the

news concerns your sister and that it is

terrible news fine

what has happened is it badly hurt has

there been an accident if she did

nothing of it and will you have the

common Humanity to tell us what the

matter is we can't

Violet has done something Dreadful

is that what you meant Mr Randstad yes

I'm afraid Violet did not really go to

Eastbourne three weeks ago

when we thought she was with her cousins

and yesterday she called on a

gynecologist in High Street

Mrs pariameter there by chance and so

the whole thing has come out who is the

scoundrel she won't tell us what a

frightful thing Dreadful appalling worse

than death

what would you not give Toby to turn it

into a railway accident with all her

bones broken or something equally

respectable

Jack rueful good Heavens man what are

you crying for here is a woman whom we

are supposed to be making bad watercolor

sketches

chatting about a concerts and parties

wasting her life and her money we

suddenly learn that she's turned from

these sillinesses to the Fulfillment of

her highest purpose and greatest

function to increase multiply and

replenish the Earth and instead of

admiring her courage and rejoicing in

her Instinct here you are all pulling

long faces and looking ashamed and

disguised as if she had committed the

vilest of Christ he will not have these

Abominations added in my house look if

you insult me again I'll take you with

your word now leave your house and where

is violet now why are you going to

happen of course I'm going to she wants

help she wants money she wants respect

and congratulations she wants every

chance for her child she does not seem

likely to get it from you she shout for

me don't be so headstrong Jack is

upstairs what

under ransed and sacred roof

to do your miserable Duty ramsden Hunter

out into the street I cleanse your

threshold from her contamination I'll

call for a cab granny you mustn't do

that I'll take her away Mr ramston she

had no right to come to your house

too ready to help her I I could test

against just how dare you until these

monsters intentions to me I protest

against the diamond and put down my last

penny to save her from being driven to

run to you for protection

oh it's all right then he's not going to

act up to his principles it's agreed we

all stand by violet

man

Marion County shall we shall not support

to me he shall obtain us and they will

speak like a man so you don't think I'm

a scoundrel after all looks a scoundrel

he's a heartless download damn scoundrel

a bigger Pub Nanny but I can say another

so we're to marry your sister to a damn

scoundrel by way of reforming her

character on myself I think you're all

mad don't be absurd Jack of course

you're quite right TV but we don't know

who he is violet won't tell us why does

it matter who he is he's done his part

and violet must do the rest that's Lucid

there is a rascal in ambits The

Libertine we are not to learn who he is

in our influence

introduce him into our homes trust our

daughters with it granny don't talk so

loud it's most shocking we must all

admit that but if Violet won't tell us

what can we do nothing simply nothing

I'm not so sure of that if any man has

paid Violet any any special attention we

can easily find that out if there is any

man of notoriously loose principles

Among Us yes I repeat if there is any

man of notoriously loose principles

notoriously lacking in self-control

you dare to suggest that I am capable of

such an ax my dear ramsden this is an

act of which every man is capable

that is what comes of getting across

purposes with nature the suspicion

you've just fine with me clings to us

all oh come till you don't look so

bewildered it might have been me it

might have been ramsden just as it might

have been anybody if it had what could

be do but lie and protesters random's

going to protect I I still hit himself

[Music]

and yet you know perfectly well he's

innocent David there is an element of

Truth in what you say gruesless you made

distorted to gratify your malicious

humor

I hope Octavius no suspicion of me is

possible

You Know Not For a Moment

[Music]

I think he suspects me just a little

Jack you couldn't

why not

why not oh I'll tell you why not first

you'd feel bound to quarrel with me

second Valor doesn't like me third if I

had the honor of being the father of

Violet's child I should boast of it

instead of denying it so be easy our

friendship's not in danger I should have

put away the suspicion with horror if

only you would think and feel naturally

about it I beg your pardon my pardon

nonsense now let's sit down and have a

family counselor

[Music]

what's happening upstairs

is in the utility room by herself of

course well why not in the sitting room

oh don't be absurd Jack Miss ramsness in

the sitting room with my mother

considering what to do oh the utility

room is the penitentiary I suppose and

the prisoners waiting to be brought

before her judges the old cat you are at

present a guest beneath beneath of one

of the old cats my sister is the

Mistress of this house she had put me in

the utility room too if she dared

ramsden however I withdraw cats cats

would have more sense and as your

guardian I order you to go to valid at

once and be particularly kind to her I

have seen her Jack and I'm sorry to say

I'm afraid she's going to be rather

obstinate I think tavior to speak to her

how can I speak to her about such a

thing oh don't break down Ricky try to

bear it for all us

old plays and poems of Texas come on

face it like a man oh dear brother poor

dear friends of the family poor dear

everybody except the woman who's going

to risk her life to create another life

Davey don't you be a selfish ass away

with you and talk to violism bring her

down here if she cares to come tell her

we'll stand by her

hard to know what to do when one wishes

earnestly to do right my dear TV your

Pious English habit of regarding the

world as a moral gymnasium occasionally

it leads you to think about your own

confounded principles when you should be

thinking about other people's

Necessities the need of the present hour

is a happy mother and a healthy baby

bend your energies on that and you'll

see your way clearly enough

and morality and what is to become of

that morality can go to its father the

devil I thought so morality is sent to

the devil to please our Libertines so

that is to be the future of England oh

England will survive your disapproval

meanwhile I understand that you agree

with me as to the Practical course we're

to take not in your spirit not for your

reasons granny

had to tell them what we intend to do

you're a good girl

thank you

Jack

mine's being made responsible for me I

hope the latest addition to your

collection of scapegoats

to be friends with me you need not go

begging for my regard how unreal are

moral judgments are you seem to me to

have absolutely no conscience only

hypocrisy and you can't see the

difference there's a sort of Fascination

about you I always attend to you somehow

I should miss you if I lost you yep

Jack we have

them since we were children

do you remember stop I remember oh I

yesterday we were often very silly it's

over let me forget it oh was it a Happy

Time sit down and behave yourself

no doubt it was a happy time for you you

were a good girl and never compromised

yourself but tell me this did you ever

really know a good boy

of cool boys are foolish sometimes but

Davey was always a really good boy yes

you're right for some reason you never

tempted TV 10

yes my dear lady Mephistopheles tempted

you were insately curious as to what a

boy might be capable of and diabolically

clever at getting through his garden

surprising his inmost secrets

all because you used to tell me long

stories of the wicked things you had

done silly boys tricks and you call such

things in most Secrets boy secrets are

just like men's and you know what they

are no I don't

what are they praying

they tell

a course now I swear I told you things I

told no one else you lured me into a

compact by which we were to have no

secrets from one another we were to tell

one another everything I didn't notice

that you never told me anything

[Music]

hey Jack he wanted to talk about

yourself true horribly true yeah what a

devil of a child you must have been to

have known that weakness and to play on

it for the satisfaction of your own

curiosity I wanted to brag to you to

make myself interesting and I found

myself doing all sorts of mischievous

things simply to have something to tell

you about I I fought with boys I didn't

hate I lied about things I might just as

well have told the truth about I stole

things I didn't want I kissed girls I

didn't care for it was all bravado

passionless and therefore unreal I never

told of you jack no but if it wanted to

stop me you would have told of me you

wanted me to go on no that's not who

brutal vulgar things I always hope to be

something really heroic at last

excuse me Jack but the things you did

were never a bit like the things I

wanted you to do they often gave me

great uneasiness but I could not tell on

you and get you into trouble and you

really your own boy I knew you'd grow

out of them well perhaps I was wrong oh

do not give way to remorse and at least

19 20th of the exports I confess to you

are pure lies I still noticed that you

didn't like the true stories of course I

knew that some of the things couldn't

have happened but you're going to remind

me that some of the most disgraceful

ones did I don't want to remind you of

anything but I knew the people they

happened to and heard about them yes but

even the true stories were touched up

for telling perhaps it was as well for

me that I romanced a bit for on the one

occasion when I told you the truth you

threatened to tell of me oh never never

won yes you did do you remember a

dark-eyed girl named Rachel rose tree

I got up a love affair with her we met

one night in the garden and walked about

very uncomfortably with our arms around

one another

and were most

conscientiously romantic

if that lover had gone on it would have

bored me to death but it didn't go on

because the next thing that happened was

that Rachel cut me because she found out

that I had told you how did she find it

out from you you went to her and held

the guilty secret over her head leading

her a life of abject Terror and

humiliation by threatening to tell them

and a very good thing for her too it was

my duty to stop her misconduct and she

is thankful to me for it even now is she

she ought to be at all events it was not

your duty to stop my misconduct I

suppose I did stop it by stopping her

are you sure of that you stopped my

telling you about my Adventures but how

do you know that you stopped the

adventures

do you mean to say you went on in the

same way with other girls no

I'd had enough of that sort of romantic

Tom full movie with Rachel and why did

you did you break off our confidences

and become quite strange to me

and just then that I got something that

I wanted to keep all to myself instead

of sharing it with you I was should

never have asked

for the box of sweets and it was

something that you would never have let

me call my own

my soul

oh doobie sensible Jack

the most solemn Earnest earn you didn't

notice at that time that you were

getting a soul too but you were

it was not for nothing that you suddenly

found you had a moral duty to chastise

and reform Rachel up to that time I had

played the boy Buccaneer with no more

conscience than a fox in a poultry farm

but now I began to have Scruples to feel

obligations to find that veracity and

honor were no longer goody goody

expressions in the mouths of grown-up

people but compelling principles in

myself you were beginning to be a man

and I to be a woman are you sure it was

not that we were beginning to be

something more

I mean what does the beginning of

manhood and Womanhood mean in most

people's mouths you know

it means the beginning of love

but love began long before that for me

love played its part in the earliest

dreams and Follies and romances I can

remember may I say the earliest Follies

and romances we can remember though we

didn't understand it at the time no Anne

the change that came to me was the birth

in me of

moral passion

and I declare that according to my

experience moral passion is the only

real passion all passions ought to be

moral Jack

ought do you think anything is strong

enough to impose oughts on a passion

except the stronger passion still our

moral sense controls passion Jack don't

be stupid uh moral sense and it's not

that a passion is the devil to have all

the passions as well as all the good

Tunes

if it were not a passion if it were not

the mightiest of the passions all the

other passions would sweep it away like

a leaf before a hurricane it is the

birth of that passion that turns a child

into a man there are other passions Jack

very strong ones all the other passions

they were in me before but they were

they were idle and dangerous mere Idol

Curiosities habits fancies and

superstitions grotesque and ridiculous

to the mature intelligence when they

suddenly began to shine like newly lit

Flames it was by no light of their own

but by the radiance of the dawning moral

passion that passion dignified them gave

them conscience and meaning found them a

mob of appetites and organized them into

an army of purposes and principles my

soul was born of that passion I noticed

that you got more sense you were

dreadfully disruptive boy before that

distractive stuff I was only a mischief

I'm 10 times more destructive now than I

was then a moral passion has taken my

destructiveness in hand and directed it

to moral lands I've become a reformer

and like all reformers an iconoclast I I

shatter creds I demolished I'm afraid

I'm too feminine to see any sense in

destruction destruction can only destroy

yes that's why it's so useful

construction covers the ground with

institutions made by Busy Bodies

destruction clears it and gives us

breathing space and Liberty it's no use

yet

that's because you confuse construction

and destruction with creation and murder

they're quite different I adore creation

and I abhor murder yes I adore it in

tree and flower in bird and bees even in

you

it was the creative Instinct that led

you to attach me to you by bombs that

have left their mark on me to this day

yes and the old childish compact between

us was an unconscious love compact yes

where are your principles

serious or are you not

do you mean about the moral passion no

no no the other one the

oh God you're so silly one never knows

how to take you you must take me quite

seriously I am your guardian and it is

my duty to improve your mind

of compact is over then is it I suppose

you grew tired of me no but the moral

passion made our childish relations

impossible a jealous sense of my new

individuality arose in me you hated to

be treated as a boy any longer called

Jack I'd become a new person and those

that knew the old person laughed at me

you became frightfully self-conscious

when you go to heaven and you'll be

frankly conscious of your wings for the

first year or so when you meet your

relatives there and they persist in

cheating news if he was still Immortal

you won't be able to Bear them you'll

try to get into a circle that's never

known you except us the names

vanity that made you run away from us

after all then yes send me my vanity as

you call it well you needn't have kept

away from me on that account from you

above all others you fought harder than

anybody against my emancipation how

wrong you are

I would have done anything for you

anything except Let Me Get Loose from

you that's what all women do if we try

to go well you do not want us to go

there's no law to prevent us but the

moment we take the first step your

breasts are under our foot as it

descends your bodies under our Wheels as

we start no woman shall ever enslave me

in that way I'm sorry you thought my

influence a bad one I don't say it was a

bad one but bad or good I did not choose

to be cut to your measure and I won't be

cut to it nobody wants you to jack I

assure you really on my word I don't

mind your queer opinions one little bit

you know we have all been brought up to

have advanced opinions why do you

persist in thinking me so narrow-minded

I

mean because you found out that it

doesn't matter the Bella constrictor

doesn't mind the opinions of the Stag

one little bit where munchy's got her

coils around it

oh now I understand why you

granny told me doesn't it feel nice and

soft yeah you scandalous woman will you

fell away even your hip hop I'm never

hypocritical with you Jack

oh you angry perhaps I shouldn't have

done that

why should you not if it amuses you well

because

because I suppose what you really meant

by the boa constrictor was this

magnificent

now just I think if I mentioned this

episode not a soul would believe me

except the people who'd cut me for

telling whilst if you accused me of it

nobody would believe my denial

incorrigible Jack

but you should not just about our

affection for one another nobody could

possibly misunderstand it

you do not misunderstand it I hope my

blood interprets for me now foreign

I feel the coils tightening around my

very self but you're only playing with

me do you think I have designs on TV I

know you have take care Jack you may

make Toby very unhappy if you mislead

him about me never fear he'll not Escape

you I wonder are you really a clever man

why this sudden misgiving on the subject

well you seem to understand all the

things I don't understand but are a

perfect baby in the things I do

understand I understand how TV feels for

you and you think you understand how I

feel for Taylor don't you I know

perfectly well what's going to happen to

poor David will be very unhappy yes but

he won't know it poor Devil he's a

thousand times too good for you that's

why he's going to make the mistake of

his life about you I think men make more

mistakes by being too clever than by

being too good there's always one who

kisses and one who only allows the Kiss

TV will kiss and you will only turn the

chief and you'll throw him over if

anybody better turns up you have no

right

things they are not they are not true

and not

give it about me that's not

it's not forgive my brutalities and

they're level but this wicked world not

at you all the same I wish random would

come back I never feel safe with you

[Music]

you Triumph in it openly and shamelessly

Triumph in it what a shocking flirt you

are Jack a flirt oh

you're always abusing and offending

people but you never really mean to let

go your hold of them I'll call them back

this conversation has already gone

further than I intended

I know you wish me to take Violet away

from Miss ramston I will no I don't what

is the use of saying no Roebuck Octavius

knows I wouldn't turn any truly contrite

or repentant woman from your doors but

when a woman is not only Wicked but

intends to go on being Wicked she and I

part company oh miss Ramsey what do you

mean what is violet say violet is

certainly very obstinate I don't

understand it but I do it's as plain as

the nose on your face Roebuck Violet

doesn't want to be separated from this

man whoever he is oh surely surely

Octavius did you speak to her she won't

tell us anything she won't make any

Arrangement until she's consulted

somebody it can't be anybody else but

the scoundrel who's betrayed her well

let her consult him where's the

difficulty the difficulty Mr Jack is

that when I offered to help her I didn't

offer to become an accomplice she either

pledges her word never to see that man

again or else she finds some new friends

and the sooner the better

the cab is at a door what Cab For Miss

Robinson oh all right she has sent for a

cab I wanted to Center that cab half an

hour ago well I'm glad she understands

the position she has placed herself in I

don't like her going away in this

fashion Susan we are better not do

anything hard no no no I thank you again

and again but miss ramsden is quite

right Violet cannot expect to stay well

hadn't you better go with her Tate she

won't have me of course she won't she's

going straight to that man as a natural

result of a virtuous reception here yeah

and there is some truth in it I wish you

could reconcile it with your principles

to be a little patient with this poor

girl she's very young and has a time for

everything oh she will get all the

sympathy she wants from the men I'm

surprised

the most favorably

I have only looked in to tell Miss

ramsden that she will find her birthday

present to me the filigree bracelet in

the utility room do come in Violet and

talk to us sensibly thank you I've had

quite enough of the family conversation

this morning so has your mother and she

has gone home crying

at all events I have found out what some

of my pretended friends are worth

goodbye no no one moment I have

something to say which I beg you to hear

I am all together on your side in this

matter I congratulate you with a

sincerest respect on Having the courage

to do what you have done you are

entirely in the right and the family is

entirely in the rocks

and the table of course why should they

not they don't know don't know what they

don't know that I am in the right I mean

oh they know it in their hearts so they

think themselves down to blame him by

their silly superstitions about morality

and propriety and so forth but I know

and the whole world really knows that it

dare not say so that you were right to

follow your instinct that vitality and

bravery are the greatest qualities a

woman can have and motherhood a solemn

initiation into Womanhood and the fact

if you're not being married matters not

one scrap either to your own Worth or to

our real regard for you you think me a

wicked woman like the rest

you think I have not only been wild but

that I share your abominable opinions

Miss rampton I have borne your hard

words because I knew you would be sorry

for them when you found out the truth

but I went there such a horrible insult

is to be complimented by Jack on being

one of the riches of whom he approves

I have kept my marriage a secret for my

husband's sake but now I claim my right

as a married woman not to be insulted

you um married yes

not one of you even asked me

I am utterly crushed

I meant well I apologize absolutely

apologize I hope you'll be more careful

in future about the things you say of

course one is not taken seriously but

they are very disagreeable and rather in

bad taste I have no defense I shall know

better in future than to take a new

woman's path

we have all disgraced ourselves in your

eyes except Anne she befriended you for

her sake forgive us yes and has been

very kind but then Anne knew oh

[Music]

boy that is my business Miss ramsden and

not yours I have my reasons for keeping

my marriage a secret for the present

what I can say is that we are extremely

sorry Violet I'm shocked to think of how

we have treated I beg your pardon Violet

I can say no more of course what you say

puts a very different complexion on the

matter all the same I owe it to myself

you only an apology Miss ramsden that's

what you owe both to yourself and to me

if you were a married woman you would

not like sitting in the utility room and

being treated like a naughty Child by

old ladies without any serious duties

and responsibilities don't hit us when

we're down violet

we seem to have made fools of ourselves

but really it was you who made fools of

us it was no business of yours Jack in

any case no business of mine my ramsden

as good as accused me of being the

unknown gentleman you

are Infamous how abominable

you have all been talking about me

if my husband knew it he would never let

me speak to any of you again

I think you might have spared me at

least but I assure you I I never at

least it's a monstrous perversion of

something like this you don't need to

apologize robot she brought it all on

herself it's for her to apologize for

having deceived her I can make

allowances for you miss ramsden you

cannot understand how I feel on this

subject though I should have expected

rather better taste from people of

Greater experience

however I quite feel that you have all

placed yourselves in a very painful

position and the most truly considerate

thing for me to do is to go at once good

morning

well I must say

I don't think she was quite Fortress you

must cower before the wedding ring like

the rest of us Rams done

the cup of our ignominy is full

[Music]

[Music]

thank you

foreign

all right now you're all right now

[Music]

well you had enough of it huh well I may

as well walk to the house and stretch my

legs and calm my nerves a little I

suppose you know that we have come from

Hyde Park corner to Richmond in 14

minutes I'd have done it in under 10 if

we had a clear road all the way why do

you do it is it for love of sport or for

the fun of terrifying your unfortunate

employer what are you afraid of the

police and breaking my neck

well if you like easy game you know you

could have taken the bus it's cheaper

you pay me to save your time and to give

you the value of your car I'm the slave

of that card of you too I dream of the

accursive thing at night oh you'll get

over that what if you're going up to the

house may I ask how long you're going to

stay there um because if you mean to put

in the old morning talking to the ladies

I'll put the car in a stable and make

myself comfortable if not I'll keep the

car and a guy about here till you can't

a better way here we shall belong as a

young American gentleman the Mr Malone

who's driving Tavia down in his new

American Sports Car American sports car

what racing us down from London or

perhaps they're here already if I'd have

known it why don't you tell me Mr Tanner

because I've been told that this car is

capable of 150 miles an hour and I

already know what you're capable of when

there's a rival car on the road no Henry

there are things it's not good for you

to know and this is one of them however

cheer up we're going to have a day after

your own heart the American is to take

TV Violet and Anne we're to take

Miss Rhoda that's Anne's sister isn't it

yes well and Anna self is going in the

other car she ain't coming with you

where the devil should she come with me

TV will be in the other car

oh we've lost the race thank heaven well

Tavi is the American Car a success I

think so we came from Hyde Park corner

here

in nine minutes

[Music]

how long were you oh about three

quarters of an hour now now it's a come

now we've done it easy and under 10. oh

by the way let me introduce you Mr

Octavius Robinson Mr Henry straight

Henry pleased to meet you sir

you call it Henry but I don't mind bless

you you think you're simply bad tasting

me to tease him TV but you're wrong this

man takes more trouble to drop his H's

than ever his father did to pick them up

it's a mark of caste to him I've never

met anybody more swollen with the pride

of class than Henry is look easy easy a

little moderation Mr Tanner a little

moderation TV observe you would tell me

to go easy on him but this man has been

educated what's more he knows that we

haven't what was that school of yours

Henry Sherbrooke sherbrook Road would

any of us say rugby Harrow eaten in that

tone of intellect or snobberish

another town that's not the school that

does it it's the university not Oxford

Cambridge Dunham Dublin or Glasgow no TV

Greenwich London Metropolitan City lit I

don't know half a confounded names these

are his universities you despise Oxford

Henry don't you no I don't very nice

sort of place Oxford I should think if

you like that sort of place they teach

you how to be a gentleman there if you

could send Henry's Soul the depth at his

contempt for a gentlemen the arrogance

of his pride in being an engineer would

appall you he positively likes the car

to break down because it brings out my

gentlemanly helplessness and his workmen

like skill and resource look never you

mind him Mr Robinson he likes to talk we

know him don't we ah but there's a great

Truth at the bottom of what he says I

believe most intensely in the Dignity of

Labor because you've never done any Mr

Robbins

[Music]

business is to do away with labor over

Heaven's Sake don't start upon political

economy he knows all about it and we

don't you're only a poetic socialist

David he's a scientific one well yes

this conversation is very improving but

you guys want to talk about your ladies

huh I know

[Music]

that's a very momentous social

phenomenon what is Henry is Henry is the

new man I see nothing new about him

except your way of teasing him

I don't want to talk about him just now

I want to speak to you about Anne well

what about Anne have you proposed to her

I was brute enough to do so last night

Brut enough what do you mean oh Jack no

we man are all toss and we never

understand how Exquisite a woman's

sensibilities are

done such a thing done what you modeling

idiot

I am an idiot

oh Jack if you had heard her voice if

you'd seen her tears I've lean awake all

night thinking of them if she approached

me I could have bought it better tears

that's dangerous what did she say she

asked me how she could think of anything

now but

her dear father

Like a Man Tammy even if you feel it

like an ass

[Music]

it's the old game she's not tired of

playing with you yet beautiful Jack

don't you suppose this eternal shallow

cynicism of yours has any real bearing

on a nature like hers did she say

anything else yes

and that is why I expose myself and her

to your ridicule by telling you what

past no dear David not ridicule on niana

however no matter and go on her sense of

Duty is so devout you're so perfect I

know go on you see under this new

Arrangement you and ramsden are

Guardians and she considers that all her

duty to her father is now transferred to

you

she said she thought I ought to have

spoken to you both in the first instance

of course she's right

and somehow it seems rather absurd that

I am to come to you and formally ask to

be received as a Suitor for her hand I'm

glad that love is not totally

extinguished your sense of humor Tavi

that answer won't satisfy her my

official answer is obviously bless you

my children may you be happy I wish

you'd stop playing the fool about this

Jack if it's not serious to you it is to

me and to her you know very well that

she's as free to choose as you however

say what you want me to do I want you to

tell her

sincerely and earnestly

what you think about me

to tell her you can trust her to me that

is if you feel you can I've

missed her to you what worries me is the

idea of trusting you to her

have you read matalink's book about the

bee I'm not discussing literature be

just a little patient with me I'm not

discussing literature the book about the

bee is Natural History it's an awful

lesson to mankind you think that you are

Anne Suter that you are the pursuer and

she the pursued that it is your part to

woo to persuade to Prevail to overcome

fool

the pursued the markdown Quarry the

destined pray you need not sit looking

longingly at the beat through the wires

of the Trap the door is open and will

remain so until it shuts behind you

forever

I wish I could believe that Riley as you

put it

but I cannot write without inspiration

and nobody can give me that except Dan

well haven't you better get it from her

at a safe distance

petrarch didn't see half as much of

Laura nor Dante of Beatrice as you see a

van now and they wrote first-rate poetry

at least so I'm told they never expose

their idolatry to the test of domestic

familiarity and it lasted them to their

graves Marianne and at the end of a week

you'll find no more inspiration in her

than in a plate of muffins

you think I shall Tire oh not at all you

don't get tired of muffins but you don't

find inspiration in them

all right

and and you won't in her when she ceases

to be a poet's dream and becomes a solid

11 stone wife you'll be forced to dream

about somebody else and then they'll be

around

this sort of talk is no use Jack you

don't understand

you have never been in love I I've never

been out of it why I am in love even

with Anne but I am neither the slave of

Love nor it's you go to the B thou poet

consider her ways and be wise by Heaven

tavey if women could do without our work

and we ate their children's bread

instead of making it they would kill us

as the spider kills her mate or as the

bees kill the Drone and they'd be right

if we were good for nothing but love oh

if only we were gonna

there's nothing like love there's

nothing else but love

the world would be a dream of sordid

horror and this this is the man who asks

me to get in the hand of my trustee TV I

think we were changed in our cradles and

that you were the real descendant of Don

Juan

to say anything like that to her don't

be afraid she has mocked you for her own

and nothing will stop her now you are

doomed now would you believe leave it Mr

Robinson while we're at motor and we're

taking these two papers the Ft for him

and the mirror for me and you think I

ever get to see my paper not likely he

grabs the mirror for himself and needs

me to stodge myself at the financial

times so there are no winners in the Ft

Henry don't oh with betting table motor

record to his weakness what's the latest

look

Paris to biscroft at 80 mile an hour

average not cat in a Mediterranean how

many kills two silly sheep oh what's it

matter sheep don't cost a lot they were

glad to have the price of them without

the trouble of selling them to the

butcher all the same to see there'll be

a clamor against it presently and in the

Algerian government will stop it and our

chance will be gone this is what makes

me fairly mad Mr Tanner won't do a good

run while he can alright alright Henry

we'll go out for half an hour presently

half an hour

oh I say what's the matter

um Rhoda was to have come with me for a

ride in the car she says here that Anne

forbids her to go out with me

does she give any reason reason an

insult is not a reason Rhoda says quote

and forbids me to be alone with you on

any occasion she says you are not a fit

person for a young girl to be with

what do you think of your Paragon now

you must remember that Anne has a very

heavy responsibility now that her father

is dead and Mrs Whitfield is too weak to

control Rhoda in short

I understand her you must admit that

your views are hardly suited for the

formation of a young girl's mind and

character I admit nothing of the sort I

admit that the formation of a young

lady's mind usually consists in telling

a lies but I object to the particular

lie but I'm in the habit of abusing the

confidence of girls and gentlemen

attack

I've come to tell you that Paul Rhoda

has got one of her headaches and cannot

go out with you today in the car

cruel disappointment to her poor child

what do you say now TV

surely you cannot misunderstand Jack

and Anna's showing you the kindest

consideration even at the cost of

deceiving you what do you mean would you

like to cure Rhoda's headache

then tell her what you said just now and

add that you arrived about two minutes

after I had received her text and read

it

with full particulars

never mind him and no you're right quite

right Jack and zomi doing her Duty and

you know it doing it in the kindest way

too oh how kind you are Toby how helpful

how well you understand I tighten the

coils

you love her TV don't you she knows I do

oh I give you leave I'm your guardian

and I commit you to Davey's care for the

next hour no Jack I must speak to you

about Rhoda Ricky will you go back to

the house and entertain your American

friend he's rather on Mama's hand so

early in the morning she wants to finish

her housekeeping I fly you dearest down

oh yeah

[Music]

no look here Anne this time you've

landed yourself and if David were not in

love with you past all salvation he'd

have found out what an incorrigible liar

you are you misunderstand Jack I didn't

dare tell tavie the truth no your daring

is generally in the opposite direction

what the devil do you mean by telling

Rhoda that I'm too vicious to associate

with her how can I ever have any human

or decent relations with her again now

that you've poisoned her mind in this

this abominable way I know you're

incapable of Behaving Badly Jack then

why did you lie to her I had to had to

mother made me ah I might have known it

the mother always the mother I love my

mother Jack is that any reason why we're

not to call your soul your own the law

for father and son and mother and

daughter is not the law of love it is

the law of revolution of emancipation of

killing the old and enemy than you

it's it I tell you the first duty of

manhood and Womanhood is is a

declaration of independence I suppose

you will go in seriously for politics

someday Jack what what's that got to do

with what I've been saying

look so well talk talk it means nothing

to you but talk well get back to your

mother and help with a poison Road as

imagination as she has poisoned yours

it's the tame elephants who enjoy

capturing the Wild Ones

yesterday I was a boa constricted today

I'm an elephant yes so pack your trunk

and be gone I've known

practicable what can I do do break your

chains go your way according to your own

conscience and not according to your

mother's get your mind clean and

vigorous and learn to enjoy a fast ride

in a motor car instead of seeing nothing

in it but an excuse for a detestable

Intrigue come with me Tamar say and

across to Algiers and to bistra at 150

miles an hour come right down to the

cape if you like that will be a

declaration of independence with a

Vengeance you can write a book about it

afterwards it'll finish your mother and

it'll make a woman of you I don't think

there would be any harm in that jack it

would be delightful thank you a thousand

times Jackal come you'll come of course

[Music]

now look here

if there's no harm in it there's no

point in doing it

third you are you don't want to

compromise me do you yes that's the

whole sense of my proposal you are

talking the greatest nonsense and you

know it you would never do anything to

hurt me well if you don't want to be

compromised then don't come yes I will

come Jack since you wish it you are my

guardian and think we ought to see more

of one another and come to know one

another better it's very thoughtful and

very kind of you jack to offer me this

lovely holiday especially after what I

said about Rhoda you really are good

much better than you think so when do we

start

what do you think

Jack is going to take me to nice in his

motor car isn't it lovely

Mrs Whitfield objects I'm sure she

objects doesn't she Rams I should dig it

very lightly indeed you don't object to

your mother I object why should I I

think it will do you good Anne I meant

to ask you to take Rhoda out for a run

occasionally she has too much in the

house but it will do when you come back

[Music]

a bit of oh I forgot you've not met Mr

Malone

um Mr Tanner my guardian Mr Hector

Malone pleased to meet you Mr Turner I

should like to suggest an extension of

the traveling party to nice if I may oh

we're all coming that's understood isn't

it I also am the modest possessor of

emoticon if Miss Robinson would allow me

the pleasure of taking her my car is at

her service violet

come mother we mislead them to discuss

the arrangements I'm a c to my traveling

kit I think I may go so far as to say

that I can depend on Miss Robinson's

consent I'm afraid we must leave Violet

behind there are circumstances which

make it impossible for her to come on

such an expedition two American that's a

young lady have a chaperone it's not

that Malona at least not all together

indeed may I ask what other objection

applies

oh tell him tell him we shall never be

able to keep the secret unless everybody

knows what it is

uh Mr Malone if you go to nice with

Violet you go with another man's wife

she's married you don't tell me so we do

in confidence her marriage has not yet

been made known she desires it shall not

be mentioned for the present I shall

respect the ladies wishing but would it

be Indiscreet to ask who her husband is

in case I might have an opportunity of

Consulting him about this trip we don't

know who he is oh in that case I have no

more to say

[Music]

you must think this very strange a

little singular pardon me for saying so

the young lady was married secretly her

husband has forbidden her it seems to

declare his name well it's only right to

tell you since you're interested in the

violent I hope this is not a

disappointment to you well it is a blow

I can hardly understand how a man can

leave a wife in such a position surely

it's not customary it's not manly it's

not considerate we feel about as you may

imagine pretty deeply it's some young

fool who has not enough experience to

know what mystifications of this kind

can lead to I hope so a man he'd be very

young and pretty foolish too to be

excused such conduct you take a very

lenient view Mr Ramson too leaning in my

mind surely marriage should ennoble a

man well

am I together from that cassination that

you don't agree with me Mr Ten get

married and try you may find it

delightful for a while you certainly

won't find it in no blue well well we

think in America that a woman's moral

number is higher than a man's and that

the pure nature of a woman lifts a man

right out of himself and makes him

better than he was Sir it does no wonder

American women prefer to live in Europe

foreign

it's more comfortable than standing all

their lives on an altar to be worshiped

however Violet's husband has not been

ennobled so what's to be done I can't

dismiss this man's conduct as lightly as

you do Mr Tanner however I'll say no

more whoever he is he's Miss Robinson's

husband and I should be glad for her

sake to think better off I'm very sorry

Malone very sorry okay fella Robinson

talk about something else Violet's

coming from the house I should have

steam it a very sweet favorite man if

you would take the opportunity to let me

have a few words with the lady alone I

shall have to cry off this trip and it's

a rather deals

assistant

are they looking

no

[Music]

have you been telling lies for my sake

why lying hardly describes it I overdo

it I get carried away in an ecstasy of

mendacity I wish you'd let me own up no

no Hector you promised me not to I'll

keep my promise until you Release Me

From it but but I feel mean lying to

those men denying my wife just dastardly

I wish her father were not so

unreasonable he's not unreasonable he's

right from his point of view he has a

prejudice against the English middle

class

it's too big too ridiculous you know how

I dislike saying such things you Hector

but if I with him

well no matter I know if you were to

marry the son of an English manufacturer

of office furniture your family would

consider it a misalliance and here's my

silly old dad who's the biggest office

furniture man in the world would show me

the door for marrying the most perfect

lady in England merely because she has

no title

of course it's just absurd but but I

tell you Violet I don't like deceiving

him I feel as if I was stealing his

money why won't you let me own up we

can't afford it you can be as romantic

as you please about love Hector but you

mustn't be romantic about money that's

very English

violet

dad's bound to find us out someday yes

later on of course

but don't let's go over this every time

we meet darling you promise all right

all right I and not you who suffer by

this concealment and after facing a

struggle and poverty and all that sort

of thing I simply will not do it it's

too silly you shall not I'll sort of

borrow the money from my dad until I get

up on my own feet then I can own up and

pay up at the same time do you need to

work do you want to spoil our marriage

I don't mean to let marriage spoil my

character your friend Mr Tanner has got

to laugh on me a bit already about that

at least I hate Jack Turner oh he's all

right he just needs the love of a good

woman to enable him besides he's

proposed a motoring trip to nice and I'm

gonna take you how Jolly yes but how are

we gonna manage you see they've warned

me off going with you so to speak they

told me in confidence that you're

married it's just the most overwhelming

confidence I've ever been honored great

success Mr Miller Mr ramsden is still

admiring oh well yeah well let's go bye

I beg your pardon Mr Malone I

ask

to be allowed

the pleasure of showing you my little

American sports car

Mr Robinson I should be very pleased

about this trip Henry yeah and is

supposed to be coming with me Tavi is to

be one of the party yes well if you can

manage her to be a good deal occupied

with me and leave Tavi a good deal

occupied with Anne he'll be deeply

grateful to you what about the ladies

views oh she's just as willing to be

less fatavious Dave is to be left to her

stop that aggravating noise what do you

mean by it

Henry I have ever been a warm advocate

of the spread of Music among the masses

but I object to you obliging the company

every time Anne's name is mentioned you

did it this morning too but it's not a

bit of you tavie may as well give it up

first as last why why

none of my business but you need to

start kidding me about it I'm not

kidding I don't know why all right very

well none of my business

trust Henry that as between employer and

engineer I shall always know how to keep

my proper distance and not intrude my

Private Affairs on you even our business

arrangements are subject to the approval

of your Trade union but don't abuse your

advantages they may

or of Beau Marche

I stand corrected beaumash airport now

you seem to think that what is too

delicate to be said can be whistled

unfortunately you're whistling though

melodious is unintelligible come there's

nobody listening neither my genteel

relatives nor the Secretary of your

confounded Union as man-to-man Henry why

do you think TV has no chance with Anne

because she's after someone else Bosh

who else you

me you mean to tell me you didn't know

come now Mr Tanner are you playing the

fool or do you mean it I ain't playing

no fool so this is playing as a nose on

your face excuse me you know Mr Tanner

but you ask me man to man so I told you

man to man

victim the destined praise I don't know

about the Bee or the spider but the

markdown victim that's what you are make

no mistakes hey and a jolly good job too

incompatible views of social democracy

comrades most of us are gentlemen and

Christians you ain't no Christian my

friend I am an exception to all rules

it's true I have the honor to be a Jew

but I am not a slave to any Superstition

but I am well aware that the ordinary

man even even the ordinary brigand who

can scarcely be called an ordinary man

is not a philosopher

common sense is good enough for him and

in our business Affairs common sense is

good enough for me well

chosen by the Moors is a very spot in

Spain easy to discuss abstruse questions

of political economy

way to be squandered by wealthy

vagabonds in the dins of fights at his

Mendoza president of the league of the

Sierra I am a brigade

I'm a gentleman I live by robbing the

poor shake hands

driver is free he can even expect a

traveling percentage of his employer's

Ransom if he will honor Us by accepting

it I see just to encourage me to come

about this way again well I'll think

about it

will you pray Duval Social Democrat oh

means you're sold out of the state and

the bourgeoisie compromise that's his

fate I understand what he say he says

own Motorcars like mine because I see

what we said over there but treat us

well we shall not prove ungrateful no

broiled rabbits or prickly pears you

know why male bread and cheese can be

prepared for already mummy now we're

talking are you all socialist here may I

ask oh no no no nothing is the kind I

assure you we naturally have modern

views as to the Justice of the existing

distribution of wealth otherwise we

should lose ourselves respect but

nothing you could take exception too I

had no intention of suggesting anything

discreditable in fact I'm a bit of a

socialist myself most rich men are I

noticed right so socialism must be

looking up though if your chaps are

taken to it that is true

a movement which is confined to

philosophers and honest men can never

exercise any real political influences

too few of them until a movement shows

itself capable of spreading among

brigands yeah I could never hope for a

political majority but I

will be frank with you

brigandi is

abnormal profession they attract two

classes those who are not good enough

for ordinary reports wildlife and those

who are too good for it we uh dragons

and scums they're great very filthy this

come very Superior take care some of the

Drexel here it does not matter if

Brigham things himself come and likes

you hear the others called drinks come

you're a witch the men want to ask a

blunt question it blunt as you please

how does it pay a man of your talent to

Shepherd such a flock as this on broiled

rabbit and prickly pears I've seen men

less gifted and I'll swear less honest

stopping at the Savoy on Foie Grant

champagne oh they've all had their turn

of the broiled rabbit just as I shall

have my eternity

indeed I have had a turn there already

as a waiter

a waiter you astonished me yes

perhaps my cosmopolitanism

shall I tell you the story of my life if

it's not too long I'll chat Henry you're

a Philistine you have no romance in you

you interest me extremely president

never mind Henry he can go to sleep the

woman I love oh it's a love story is it

I see do go on I was only afraid you

were going to talk about yourself I have

thrown myself away from her sake that's

why I am here but no matter I count the

world we're lost for her she had I

pledge you my word the most

magnificent head of hair I ever saw

to Perfection and her highly strong

temperament made her unstable

incalculable variable capricious cruel

in a word enchanting

and did she respond to your love will

they be here if she had

objective to marry a Jew on religious

grounds well she said that every Jew

considers in his heart that English

people are dirty in their habits dirty

yo they're extraordinary knowledge of

the world for it is undoubtedly true her

elaborate sanitary code mixes unduly

contemptuous of the Gentiles did you

ever hear that Henry yeah I heard my

sister say so she was a a cook in a

Jewish Family Once I could have gone

around any other objection for no woman

can stand his suspicion of indelicacy as

to her person main treaties were in vain

she always retorted that she was not

good enough for me and recommended that

I marry an accursive bar maid named

Rebecca Lazarus whom I loved

he's also suicide

she gave me a packet of beetle poison to

do with weed I hinted on Murder She went

into a hysterics and as I am a living

man I went to America so she might sleep

without dreaming I was stealing upstairs

to cut her throat

in America I went out west I fell in

with a man who was wanted by the police

for holding up trains it was he who had

the idea of holding up cars in the south

of Europe a welcome idea for a desperate

and disappointed man he gave me valuable

introductions to capitalists to the

right sword I filmed the Syndicate and

the present Enterprises he retirement I

became leader as a Jew always becomes

Leader by his brains and his imagination

everything I possess to be an Englishman
