you

Hildur has told no one of her marriage

to George Kennan or that he was already

married at the time deserted by him she

returns to Bursley

I'm ordered to tell you that mr. or

grief will be down in a few minutes

though I've no idea you were in

personally came today mrs. or grief

isn't very well I'm afraid of mr. no sir

Tommy I'm sorry

that's ordered to take you into the

breakfast-room Janice and Alyssa have

gone to Hill port to see some of Edie's

relations Edie's Tom's field so you know

so of course Tom's there too um Jimmy

and Johnny are at their club

I see sir I'm afraid you've chosen a

disappointing night oh no I mean of

course you would have known I was coming

some time if you've been calling here

recently

ah but you say I haven't been calling

here recently I suppose you've never

thought about me once since I left

nice I have I mean but you've never

inquired about me yes half only once

how do you know how's Janet that's

nothing to go by why didn't the number

of times I've inquired I'll do something

cor I'll say something before I leave

here tonight just to show up

I wish I'll change my frock I've just

been reading about the strike

you've soon got into local politics I

got the wrong teen night as it was

coming up here and I landed up at shore

port instead of bleakridge and while I

was waiting there for a cab I was

talking to a young woman who was a

painter appeals she had such trouble

with her chest poor thing I felt so

sorry for her

well when I was driving up here I saw

some of the men I should think I saw

2,000 of them they'd just been to a

meeting the cab I said yes there was a

meeting an Enbridge the night they

looked so depressed and so cold

some of them hadn't any coach you could

tell how hungry they were just by

looking at them will they win depends on

the weather

you see if it was June instead of

November but then it isn't June the

Potters wages are settled every year in

November so if there is to be a strike

it can only begin in November but didn't

the men ask for the time of year to be

changed yes but you don't suppose the

masters are gonna agree to that do you

why not

because it gives them such a pool I

think it's a shame

mr. brief says the men broke the last

award well yes in a way they did um

please tell me about it

well it's arbitration you see

arbitration yes that's how it started

anyway a few years ago they went into

arbitration who did the Masters and the

men well I think it was the men Oh

Astrid first yes it was why did they do

that because business was good and

prices were high and they thought they

should have more money you see did they

get it oh yes then why should the men go

on strike well then there was a slump

and prices came down and the master said

wages must come down as well tie wages

to prices that's what they said so they

all decided to go to arbitration again

Lord hath certain was the umpire and

he's he's the man the Potters really 8

he said wages should be cut by a penny

in the shilling hasit ins penny that's

what the men call it now anyway

of course the men want that penny back

though into arbitration again last year

and again they lost and this year the

men's leaders want to try it again but

this year you see the men said no they

said they don't trust the Masters or the

arbitrators they say the Masters can

afford to pay back that penny but

they're not being honest about the

profits they make so that's it so they

went on strike

suppose you're like all the rest I like

all the rest against men mr. Aubrey vis

and he says your father is very strongly

against them no Kia what earthly right

have you got I suppose it arm like all

the rest very sorry I knew all the time

you weren't my father's against them but

I'm not my father

I think it's all wrong to tie wages to

prices why shouldn't they tell prices to

wages that's what I should like to know

and if you ask me I should tell you what

I think to workmen on strike are always

in the right but bottom I mean you've

only got to look at them in a crowd

together they don't starve themselves

for fun and what does your father say to

that Oh him and me we don't argue about

these things why not Wow because we

don't you're not ashamed of your

opinions I you know all the time I'm not

don't you

don't you

I'll tell you what I am ashamed of I'm

ashamed of seeing my father lose his

temper so you know

I have never met anybody like you before

no never

I'm outside the same of you nothing

well why'd we we thought forgotten this

but that's always the way with neighbors

indeed it's true he scarcely ever comes

to see us except when you're here

study your own study on mr. Aubrey I do

I miss his or grace feeling better

well she suffers a lot with her ass well

you know but I think she's taken a turn

for the better good and you're working

as usual auntie

I've done what I could with Hilda there

steadily we have to help up with Janet

she would stay here and chatter about

strikes mr. Clair how that agrees with

me oh you don't have to tell me I could

see you to his thick as thieves about it

and she told you she wants to go for a

printing works no but I should be

pleased to show her over ours anytime

good ah Luke I must be awfully special

to wait until Janet gets back the piece

of food good no it really I must go well

well only let you go if we have your

promise your visitors tomorrow evening

oh I can't turn what I mean is I

shouldn't like to promise just in case I

see so tonight my satisfies for six

months no no no it's just I couldn't be

yes the hill poor choral society can't

decide whether it sounds grand or

ridiculous anyway they're setting up a

committee to look into it they've asked

me to be a member what did you say no I

said yes that's good I say it'll be nice

to have some more music round here

sounds very exciting

well we are see there's a tea party

tomorrow for a preliminary meeting so I

should have an idea what it's going to

be like then no these committees can be

oh yes

hmm

DAP thickness me I reckon shade look

something there

that's cold

I don't think so father come tell daddy

well and your [ __ ] spreading it all

through the outside yes I told you

yesterday about wearing your overcoat

just think it's the middle of summer or

what are you could surf in and welcome

if he's surfing alone but we law that to

suffer and all on account of you being a

damn fool

and that's sympathy from me I'll tell

you that for no pay

well I know one thing he doesn't better

than me I shocked around there just

stayed and does my cold and read one

thing I know

leyland it has to be women stories gets

back from his office it's a nice it was

25 to say oh damn hope you about it to

get something yes thank you I know give

me that umbrella Tosh you just be

uncomfortable if you walk around wet

like that

I just take this up but okay go across

the yard to the printed shop right Oh

father

this is Miss les weighs much less

where's my father she she's come to new

grounds you wanted to see a print he

works he said better brother

however for it

any mr. Edwin this is some of the type

James I wonder if you do oh yes as mr.

Edwin says miss these are types here old

roman blazer quite a call for them for

all kinds of things

upper case is the Capitals lower case is

the smaller letters that's right me sir

sorry I used to be a short time

secretary oh did you mace yes in a

newspaper office all right daresay as

you all know all about it then I know

just that they used to say Elsie when

they wanted me to use a small letter

that's because it comes from a lowercase

that's it now you'll note e says the

boxes at different sizes letter a is

kept in biggest box because it's the

letter most commonly used to say with

the other letters the biggest boxes for

the letters we use most frequent that's

exactly eat as mr. Edwin says now if you

can imagine as I am the compositor I

will place myself in front of the center

of the box now this here is the

composing stick st. now I hold the

composing stick in my left hand so now

I've so arranged it that the letters

that I use most hey I owe you and H are

good and convenient for my picking or

pan that's my right hand see this saves

time when conveying letter from box to

stick thus what a fairly rapid movement

I begin to set up words as I walked

just a Natomas that's all I suppose your

printers did something special to

celebrate the 400th anniversary of the

invention of printing what was that two

or three years ago perhaps four I'm

afraid we didn't oh I think they made

quite a fuss written remnant actually I

don't know very much about it but the

other day I happen to be reading the new

history of printing cons wicks oh yes

would you look at some of the machinery

perhaps you like showbiz less much yeah

she'd be waiting about printing because

I'm a don't be daft she's a girl who's

interested in everything that's all I'm

a spy history printed itself is worked

by ham this is the bed or coughing you

see now the type is locked up in special

chases and secured by clumps that's here

and here

the type is inked by hand as well

and a sheet is placed in the type and

the Tim pond close this here is the Tim

pond

it's the Tim pond you say now the bed is

wound into machine Laver is pushed

there you are

a perfect impression every time we'd

only what's known as jobbing work

circulars posters memorandums cards

invoices letter heads commercial you see

every order in jobbing work is different

now so you wanted to print say a

circular first of all you'd select the

type you'd select

[Music]

[Music]
