compelled to send you there if you don't

drive more carefully remember Mr Steven

Hof is a very nervous

passenger may I come in of course you

may Julia Julia do you think you ought

to be out alone I me with this terrible

criminal the spine breaker still at

large oh don't worry about me Matthew

I'm old enough to look after myself no

spine breaker is going to get his hands

on me besides he only murders very

wealthy people but joking apart Julia

this man really exists as we've all had

ample proof I hear there was another

poor creature found murdered yesterday

with the same terrible marks on his body

oh I know Mr Trimble but I'll be all

right really I only just came for a

moment to see father but I can't get any

answer from his door let me TR all

right can't you knock any louder than

that yes but I don't want your father to

come too soon you're wasting your time

my boy am I oh well perhaps not but I

just remember that your father told me

he had some important business which

would keep him until late afternoon if

you wouldd like to come in and wait oh

thank you Mr Trimble I won't

wait I really must be going must you yes

I've got to get ready for my party

tonight and there's so much to do don't

be late will you I should be the first

one there the early bird you know how

many dancers do I get how many do you

want all of them grey

what are you dreaming about Matthew oh

everything yes things certain seem to

have moved in the right direction since

you took over that

warehouse nothing like having young

blood in a business you can't have them

too young I say tmbl and son a father

Yes my boy Trimble and Son perhaps you

putting that sign in the new door soon

what moved from here away from me old

friend Steven Hawk not after all he's

done for us he has been wonderful hasn't

he

without his money to build that new

Warehouse where would we be yes my boy

when people talk of Flint harded money

lenders they can't have met

Steven that sounds like Steven coming

back

I thought I'd like to inquire how you

got on today hey what's that I mean with

the business deal in the city oh not as

well as I had anticipated some little

whipper snapper chose to interfere dear

me I am sorry but it only proves what I

was saying to my son just now a great

mistake to put anybody into business too

young you're quite right but he's a good

lad I'm glad you like him it may

influence Julia Julia haven't you ever

noticed that he and she you mean he

wants to take her from me but you

wouldn't object if he made her happy I'm

jealous of everything concerning Julia

yes you couldn't love her more even if

she were your own child you're the only

one who knows she isn't and sometimes

I'm sorry I told even you you know that

I shall never say a word be careful you

don't

all I've done I've done for her sake so

that she may never know poverty or want

after I am

gone I hope she'll always remember that

no matter what she hears about me at any

time why my old friend you talk as if

you were a criminal that's how most

people regard money lenders isn't it not

when they want to borrow of course only

when the time comes to repay you mustn't

say that Steven I don't know what some

people would do without without your

help ourselves for instance Julia's

friends are my

friends all oh by the way Julia was here

to see you she seems very excited about

her party tonight happy a you spoil her

Steven she's my one weakness and you

should see all the grand people I have

come into her party like Lord brickhaven

marus of powers Countess peringer that's

just a few so useful to me in my

business you know

people with plenty of money plenty of

jewels I like to know them to know their

habits and you'll be surprised the

business I do with them not here of

course but in their own

homes alone well I leave you I expect

you're busy my you do meet with some

important

people I beg your pardon sir well I

should think so

too I heard you are honoring me with a

visit today sir Franklin well what is

it it's just a little matter Mr Hawk not

foolish enough to ask me to lend you

more money I hope no I fear that would

be useless then perhaps you've come to

repay me some of the money you owe well

uh not exactly oh then what is it my

friend it's about Lord Brick Haven oh

yes I'm looking forward to seeing his

lordship tonight I hope you ask him to

wear his famous emerald ring you know

what pleasure the sight of precious

stones always give me but uh his

lordship is not coming no no no you're

joking my friend I shall be bitterly

disappointed if he is not with us and

you wouldn't have me disappointed eh

it's not my fault I did my best but he's

due at bath tomorrow evening he's due at

my party tonight he never promised I

requested it's not much I ask of you but

what I ask I expect what you're breaking

my wrist I apologize but Lord Brick

Haven must be there and his famous

Emerald with him it will lent tone to my

party you understand how how fool idiot

don't have you no brains can a Coachman

be bribed have you never heard of

accidents on the road trees that have

haded to fall SE is there or else

[Music]

Lord Brick Haven and his Emerald HH so

they're the next I hear that Emerald's

worth

10,000 you hear a lot my dear Nathaniel

values are sometimes a trifle

exaggerated we shall find out a due

course what it will fch lots of people

would pay almost as much to know who the

spine breaker really is yes but you

wouldn't be so ill advised as to accept

their offers would you nean no no no no

no let it it' remain a nice little

secret just between us two I'll never

split don't worry about that you have to

be careful what are you sniveling about

Mr Sir Franklin supposing he spots out a

little game supposing you're always

supposing this or supposing that that's

all very well but and remember you're

not paid to give advice you're paid to

do as you're told all right have you

done as you're told what about the

Widow's senson hold up Lock Stock and

Barrel and are six miserable children

turned out into the street good that'll

prove to her that Steven Hawk is not to

be trifled with what do they think I am

philanthropist how much did her Goods

realize £17 10 Shillings is that all

sold up all she had the next woman who

comes to borrow 1010 I must see she has

more security where is

it money has a nice feel about it hey

Nathaniel

yes but a nice large Emerald has a nicer

feeling

eh

come come

[Music]

[Applause]

what do you think of it da marvelous not

bad for a miserable little money lender

I wish shipping agents could make as

much money as money lenders Lord brick

Haven I'm glad you were able to Prevail

upon Lord Brick Haven to stay in town

this evening yes but what a risk the

confounded Coachman nearly caught me one

should always take risks after all what

is life but one big

risk delighted to see you Lord Bri Haven

he was beginning to be afraid we should

not have the pleasure of your company

this evening I really should be on the

bathro at this moment but an accident

happened to the wheel of my coach and

before my fool Coachman had finished

repairing it it was too late to start

tonight then we are all indebted to your

F

coach ah Julia my dear enjoy yourself

wonderfully thank you Father you have

there a jewel for men to CET so for that

matter have you m my Emerald you mean h

yes but I do vow you have the rarer

Jewel of the two I agree with you my

Lord but to possess both

that would indeed be paradise again I

agree with you

Mil may I I have the pleasure I'm afraid

I've already promised Mr

[Music]

trim did you notice that our friend

Archer doesn't look too pleased so it

seems the gossips tell me that he hopes

to be your son-in-law Mr H and the

gossips as usual are mad my son-in-law

lecherous brute there is scarcely

anything that he cannot possess once he

sets his mind to it you find that my

daughter is the one thing that is beyond

his reach you are a brave man my friend

to talk like that of arer if he heard

where would you be in one of his filthy

state prisons I imagine but rather that

than he should marry my

[Music]

daughter they seem to be dancing a lot

together tonight yes they make a lovely

pair you'd like to see them married

wouldn't you indeed I would wouldn't you

perhaps when he's made some money a most

delightful evening I'm so glad you're

appreciated with all this youth about it

makes one feel young again yes I was

just remarking you look at least 60

years younger than when I saw you last

God bless my soul I'm I'm only 51 sir

you surprise me yes I feel the

recurrence of spring in my veins you

know I believe it's the sight of your

daughter that has done the trick how so

sir this party is to celebrate her 18th

birthday isn't it that is so sir 18 is

about the right age for a girl to

marry I fancy them young my

friend you appreciate my meaning you do

us too much honor sir then I take your

decision to be in the affirmative I fear

we are unworthy sir do you mean that you

refuse no no no no of course not sir

perhaps you'd allow me to call on you

one night alone then we could get to

grips with the matter oh yes to clinch

the bargain as well clinch is the word

sir then you will back me up definitely

you'll find me behind you

[Music]

isn't my mistress looking lovely tonight

I hadn't noticed I got other things to

look for you must be very tired wouldn't

you like to sit down well that would be

nice oh you've got no romance in you I

can imagine myself out there dancing in

the arms of a man well I

can't you appear warm sir why not go out

on the balcony it will be lovely in the

Moonlight my again yes uh perhaps you'll

join me if your lordship will excuse me

the night a my bronchitis but later on

air

[Music]

hands you seen him oh of course not

nobody sees him and lives no

yes and I want to say how much I

sympathize with you too yes I am to be

congratulated upon my bargain but for

strength to my friend I'd rather didn't

premonition that he was going to be

violent death he said it contained a

great secret really I wonder what that

can be but the will cannot be open till

after the funeral tomorrow then the

secret is a secret still in but ought me

Tomkins there a stranger here sir yeah

will you be here long I have no idea ah

good morning sir At Your Service you

wish to see me join me to magav I thank

you sir don't mind if I do I'm looking

for two friends of mine and my have

reason to believe passed this way

recently I many pass this way many on

you with their company for the night no

sir I've had no guests for quite a while

but most of the two that were here an

hour ago quiet girl what's this my

friend come on come to hello what's the

matter let me look at your

arm uh who gave you that and who are you

to ask a friend was looking for one with

just such a grip hey are you sure you're

a friend he said he had many

enemies which purse would you say was

the bigger this one or the one he gave

you why this to be sure it outweighs the

other by quite a lot I to be sure take

it as a souvenir of me oh thank you sir

now which way did my friends go well I

promise not to tell no need to tell

can't you

point I to be sure

I'm afraid Mr Archer you have called it

a bad time my father is away from home

then I've come at a good time for it was

you I wish to see about what oh M to

pass the time of day should we sit down

if you intend staying long enough to

make it worth your while thank you they

tell me that young meth Trimble is also

away from hope why' you mention him so

you are quite without male protection

you seem very well informed Mr Archer

may I offer my my services oh thank you

I have no need of them that remains to

be seen It's A peculiar coincidence that

both your father and your sweetheart are

away from home at the same time I don't

see why unless perhaps they are

traveling together they are not doing

that or unless one is in search of the

other for his Revenge Revenge for what

his father's murder but his father was

murdered by that monster who murdered

Lord Brick Haven in the garden of this

very house and whom sir Franklin hiad

has declared to be but he was raving he

didn't know what he said surely no one

believed it one or two do

Matthew tremble for one but he couldn't

believe anything so stupid so absurd has

he said nothing to

you then that's what he

meant but his mind must be unhinged well

have to marry him I don't know geez Emma

it's sufficient for you that I'm going

to marry him but Mr Matthews he loved

you and loves you still no that's all

over and done just like one of those

soap bubbles we used to blow all

beautiful colors nothing inside bubbles

that disappear into nothing as if they'

never been and Mr Archer what sort of a

bubble do you call him more like a

bladder of L I think oh why did Mr

Matthew go away and leave you like this

I told you he had something to do well

whatever it is he seems to have done it

all right oh no no don't say that please

God that's not true

this now but a few weeks ago when you

were going away who was it insisted that

with's end my father just been killed

track down the man who' done it that

seemed to me more important than did you

look at me

Julia Julia you know who your father

really

is yes but I can only think of him for

all his kindness to me I would give

anything to save him Julia Julia my

darling listen to

me I know that he's the notorious spine

Breer that he ought to be dead a 100

times but I also know that his death

cannot bring my father back to life

this house before I left and start our

lives all over again

together

together oh no what am I thinking about

promise

love him I tell you Julia tell me the

truth am I responsible to you for my

actions let me go Julia you said just

now that you'd do anything to save your

father that has nothing to do with it I
