feeling responsible for our mother's

death

Hilda's had a nervous breakdown in

London but Canon insists on visiting her

[Music]

[Music]

you know there is less ways I've got

about again today Hey well it must mean

you're on the mend I mean it must

nothing it and I can't tell you how glad

we are how very glad my wife and I are

to see you're getting on so well very

very glad indeed not feeling quite

tip-top yet I suppose but I'm we'll take

care of that believe me yeah you know

these these breakdowns can be very

serious things very sapping very

weakening things and the doctors they

don't know half as much about them as

they'd have you believe

oh we know they say we know but half the

time what are they lost in a fog you

need to be careful young lady believe me

there are far too few of you handsome

young things about to have one is

feeling up quite at their best

don't miss Lacy's at that I don't know

if you know anything about this there's

no reason why your shortage of course

but yeah I've got a long story short the

fact of the matter is we are having a

little difficulty they really can't

understand why I mean it's hardly as if

we are new to all this I mean we stayed

in boarding houses before well a

boarding house isn't hotel also have

well the hotels mainly but we have

stayed in both we like staying in them

you may say that they are our way of

life never before if we come across

anything quite like this mr. bad word

I don't think of course you don't

there's no reason why are you sure no

reason at all but what I would ask you

to understand mr. space is that we are

both very fond of miss Gayley she's a

dear sweet woman and we're very fond

about we're very fond indeed and the

last thing we wanted was an altercation

but then on the other hand we must point

out our rights having to look at it one

way we we pay for our rights now miss

Gayley as we both know is fresh this

business and I wanted to succeed Oh

believe me I wanted to succeed but she's

not going to succeed if she treats her

guests like naughty children is she and

of course I mean she didn't mean to give

us notice to leave that was all just

done in the heat of the moment but as my

dear wife says it make miss Gayley

cannot bring herself to apologize we

shall simply have to find somewhere else

and you must admit mr. Smith it would be

a shame no my my true and honest feeling

about miss Gayley is that when she's had

a little more experience

and if you listen to the advice

yesterday carefully doesn't your budget

can be potentially

they're beautiful flowers I hopefully uh

you've been talking to him haven't you

no I was sitting there and he came and

talked to me notice they've got to go

hi Donna Alice no insulting as well it's

my decision if they stay here or not put

up with it I won't I think I shall go

back up to my room aren't you gonna stay

down for lunch

I don't really feel like it I can hire

you I do hope not I don't feel like

talking that's all of course you must do

what you feel like doing I told you

didn't I that's what you must do is just

as George did say you wanted to seem

special

don't you did tell me to arrange things

as I want it of course but George isn't

still you must do what you feel like

doing

mr. thank you headed up to the cabbie

how far can you take me for a bob

you mean 9 pence so he says I opens now

you're going to tip don't you agree

we've got a wonderful way of putting

things Healthe ibis if you agree with

what you said

london is too big mm-hm except for the

owner of a boarding house eh well I must

confess a big or not I like it mmm tell

me what do you think of London these

days miss Harris oh yeah I'm not really

the one to ask

oh I'm sure you are I so seldom go I

have Hornsby myself well in that case

Halsey is London for me about five

pounds a gallon haven't you any loyalty

to them the five times most about word

are the provinces you don't go to the

provinces you come away from them true I

think we've all finished I'll ring for

headed to clear myself into gesture like

this no take your time take your time

there's no hurry

is there Sarah everything's very easy

yeah no talking so much I thought you'd

finished that sorry proved to me you

sailor knows that I always talk too much

there we are that the laughter bit bond

very delicious it was good it all right

I'm sure there's more if you want it oh

I think we should go to the drawing room

and the ghoul excuse us oh girl - Chum

you all go into the drawing thank you

will you play for us oh I don't think I

will ask I mean after all I was playing

all the morning but I'm sure everyone

liked to Yahoo what about you will you

care to hear mrs. Duncan there you are

popular why don't you please stand when

I

I wonder if there's somewhere we could

talk with Lesley is that aisle one or

two things I should like to talk to you

about well there is that the little room

you could go in there people do say it's

the most charming room in the house

six months ago

I didn't know this house

it's all because I went to see him one

afternoon

[Music]

I'm so sorry I had to get my bag and I I

wanted have a brief word at Sarah

afraid you're still looking a little

paler with less weight no better thank

you I was most distressed when I heard

what had happened as you probably know I

have tried to see you several times the

to inquire after your health and to see

if there was anything I could do but

well Sarah said you weren't feeling up

to it and quite obviously I didn't want

to oppress myself

well I I had to talk business with

yourself I suppose I might as well begin

him yes have you decided what you're

going to do I'm not going back to the

paper no I suppose not but are you

thinking of coming back to turn hill how

do I know you must have thought about it

because if you aren't

it's no use you're keeping that house of

yours empty well you must remember it's

just as you left it and the things in it

aren't taking any good either

I don't see that it matters to anyone

but me I don't know what you would say

I'll be plotting together but I'm sure I

don't wish to interfere in your affairs

with sierra's I have to interfere

unfortunately had a famous time I'm

having away but not yours I only

promised your uncle

[Music]

told me that you wanted to try alright

alright I ought to have known that you

would be likely to be upset I reckon I

know a bit about what worry is myself

well let's forget about your own house

in less sway Street for the time being I

can sell they called a Street property

for you if you want me to and at a

pretty good price too well sooner or

later the town will have to buy up the

whole of that side of the street anyway

you may remember last year I told your

mother that I thought I had a customer

for it that she wasn't having in it

remember well you know what the net

rents are you have had them every month

I dare say the purchase money if it's

carefully invested will bring in as much

but even if it doesn't bring in quite as

much you must remember colder Street is

going down it's becoming more and more

of a slum and there'll always be

problems with the tenants of that class

I wish I could tell everything

everything less way Street as well then

I should be absolutely free you can and

take it from me 10 years hence those

less way Street houses won't be worth or

they are today supposing that you could

sell how much would I get it I mean

income

about three pounds a week well that's

quite enough for me to live on oh yes

yes and of course you would still have

the capital or yes yes I'd rather have

it like that I know I would that I could

cut myself off from everything there and

we'll just pick me shake yes yes there

should be no problem at all to get you a

three pounds a week but perhaps it will

be better if you waited a little while

yeah thought about it a bit longer look

quite decided I have anyway

now I have some papers here which you

will have to sign no ink of course

indelible ego pencil it'll do that

how's the Chronicle getting on oh I

suppose you found a new secretary no no

I told them they'd have to manage with

that one

it's no fun starting a new paper in a

godforsaken hole like the five towns I

can tell you that no fun at all well

yeah I think you can manage on here

unless you'd rather go downstairs yep

well private here

now there are two documents as you see

an informal sale note and an authority

the sale note is your confirmation that

you wish to sell and the authority is

the document which gives me permission

to act on your behalf

do understand that else anyone anywhere

I've marked the cross where you should

sign

he'll make a profit from this

if he's in trouble it'll help him

yeah that's car Keeks signature of

course as you know the practice is in

his name

get in my hands now no way stick I

nearly touched his arm

Oh how are you you poor dear why didn't

you answer my letter I found you anyway

just a few minutes that's all miss

Gayley said you were engaged on a

business matter oh she should have said

I sitting here on your own it wasn't on

[Music]

[Music]

picnics ready is called feeding the

swans it's something look at the title

of the book it's called the girls

weekday book by mrs. completely

published by the religious tracts is

that you look at this title that our

daughters may be as cornerstones

polished after the similitude of a

palace some cxl one thing twelve ever

seen anything like you know is did you

find it oh it was with a lot of other

things at the bottom of mother's

wardrobe she must have had it since she

was a girl

thank you look at this at the table of

contents one thing at a time

respectful ministers frightening was

words of Scripture goosh and suave

conscientious regards truth mmm-hmm

sensibility and gentle is contrasted

with affectation curiosity and

instability of worldly possessions silly

book some horrible book represents

everything I did test goodness is from a

time that's finished and gone oh it

isn't you know this time still here you

can hear that sort of preaching any day

in these time I don't want to hear it

I'm sure of that

mmm let me have a look

laughing oh come on

I would rather sit quietly around this

fire and talk with dear mama then go to

the grandest ball that ever was known

[Music]

come on I found it very well then mmm

you can't find anything oh yes I can

just at random in here up one word more

do not rest in your religious

impressions you have perhaps been the

subject of terror on account of sin your

mind your mind has been solemnized by

some event in Providence by an alarming

fit of sickness or the death of a

relative or a companion this is indeed

to be reckoned a great mercy but then

the danger is lest you should rest here

lest those tears and terrors and

resolutions should be only the evidence

on which you venture to conclude on the

safety of your immortal state what is

your present condition

well I said it was a silly book and it

is what is your present condition come

on

let's work as weak and pack everything

up and get back to Billy quick

but you're looking so miserable for not

miserable

look who's avea aged is it a suppose I

bought furniture for Trafalgar Road

house or so that to sell sounds very

nice you'll say I want you to go to an

bridge tomorrow about boss talks order

hush with the setting moon I said to the

lily with whom she has hopped to be gay

when will the dancers leave her alone

she is weary of dance and play now half

to the setting moon are gone and half to

the rising day low on the sand and loud

on the stone the last wheel echoes away

I said to the Rose the brief night goes

in babble and revel and wine Oh young

lord lover what size are those for one

that will never be thine but mine so I

swear to the Rose forever and ever mine

and the soul of the Rose went into my

blood as the music clashed in the hall

along by the garden lake I stood for I

heard your review let fall from the lake

to the meadow and unto the wood our wood

the Bible if he doesn't want to know

Yassin they calls himself a liberal but

I'm afraid is a regular old Tory father

time once when they nearly turned me out

in my own house

Edwin are you a Bradlaugh man all I can

say is you can't help what you believe

you can't make yourself believe anything

and I don't see why you should either

there's no virtue in believing you

mustn't take mother too seriously she

only puts on that expression to keep

worse things from being said she's past

being upset she's been through too much

haven't you poor dear Oh Edwin so you're

against me - oh well this is no place
