03:03that very bench is a measure of my innocence. You've sat with Nan Drury on our bench, the bench on which
03:09you've made the most passionate declarations. I seem to recall most of the passion was on your
03:13side. You came at me like an express locomotive. Nan Drury, insipid little seeded little daughter of
03:18Mr Drury of Drury and Dean, the insipid little seeded estate agents. The talk in the town is that
03:24he's going bankrupt. If you're looking for a diary there, you're making a mistake. I'm looking for
03:28nothing. She has nothing to do with it. Kind to keep her out of it. I most certainly will if you
03:32will. As for being seen, I was at the station the other day to meet the Brighton train. I had a
03:37parcel to collect. Well? I saw you get off the train with Bill Frankel, the news agent. I'm not surprised
03:43we got into the same compartment at Brighton. No. No, you can't put me in the wrong. I really am more
03:51disappointed in you by the minute. Good. It'll make things easier then, won't it? I said I was
03:55disappointed in you. I didn't say I no longer wanted you. I intend to have you, my dear. The law protects
04:01women in my situation. The law? If I don't hear from you within the next three days that this
04:06letter was all a mistake, I should put the matter into the hands of my solicitors. I shall sue you
04:11for breach of promise. But you can't do that. On the contrary, nothing would be simpler. This letter
04:15alone, quite apart from anything else, would be sufficient for any British jury. I should get
04:19substantial damages. But you wouldn't do it. Oh, wouldn't I? The squalor of the courts, kisses,
04:25described, money, claimed, love letters, read out. Oh, it's unthinkable. Don't think about
04:30it then. There's a very simple way not to. Forget this conversation and marry me as planned. Are
04:34you telling me you'd be willing to marry a man whom you would always know you had forced
04:37into it? A man who would remember the vile threats who used to coerce him whenever he looked
04:41at you? Never you mind about my willingness. You've known well enough what that's been for
04:45the last six months. You just make up your mind about your willingness. You can't bring
04:49a dead love back to life by menaces. You leave me to what I can do and what I can't
04:53do. I mean, what do you really want? Do you really want me just sordidly to marry you
04:57on top of all this? Or would you prefer your big haul of damages? Shant you be disappointed,
05:03in fact, if all I let you get out of me is a ten-shilling gold ring and a blasphemous
05:06marriage service? For it would be blasphemous, I do assure you, between you and me. And then
05:11after the service, what? I take it you wouldn't for a moment suggest after that act of profanity
05:16that we should actually live together? That's as much my dream as it's ever been.
05:23You can't force yourself. You can't make yourself fond of someone. Or can you keep yourself fond
05:46of someone? The heart has its mysteries, as the poet says. Not that it's much good quoting
05:52poetry to Kate Cookham. I shouldn't think so either. Oh, I thought she was interested at
05:57first. She was very intellectual and sensitive. She's been governess to some quite distinguished
06:03families, you know. And after all, she takes private classes now in literature and history
06:08for bigger girls. She seemed quite the blue-stocking that was at first. Then it became very hard
06:15and practical and commonplace. She wanted to help me in the bookshop. She even suggested
06:22that she had an undiscovered talent for commerce. You must have felt very trapped. Trapped?
06:28Your affections had started to wane. But you were committed. Exactly. Your affections had already
06:45started to wane before I came into your life. Precisely so. And it's for exactly that reason
06:54that I feel you can be so impartial in your advice. Oh, I must say, in a fix like this,
06:59it's very comfortable to have a woman to talk to. There's so much more delicate in these
07:05matters. It's almost as though I came into the bookshop that day for a purpose. To give
07:16you guidance in your time of trouble. What are you going to do?
07:21How could she? How could she stoop to the vulgarist process known to law, the ultimate
07:29vileness between man and woman? I expect your feeling you didn't really know her. Vulgarity,
07:36it's the thing I've hated most and tried hardest to keep out of my life. Oh, I'm sure you've
07:41succeeded. I know I'm in a dismal, downtrodden sphere enough. There are few things more lacking
07:47indignity than a threadbare business, but I have got taste. I have got a sense of the gentle
07:54thing and the aristocratic thing. That she should behave like a vindictive barmaid.
08:01That seems to be what hurts most, doesn't it? That you could be so wrong about her.
08:10What shall you do? What I shall not do is give in. How could I live with a woman I now
08:16hate to the depths of my being? Oh, she has me in her trap and I dare say I shall not escape
08:21without losing a limb, but I'd not marry her now if she were the last woman on the planet.
08:25I expect you feel you're well out of it.
08:43If only I were out of it, dearest Nan.
08:47She's not done her worst with me yet. I still squirming her grip.
08:51When shall you see her?
08:55She's given me three days in which to surrender.
09:03Four hundred pounds?
09:05You must be mad.
09:07My solicitors, with counsel's opinion behind them,
09:10tell me there's not a jury in the land, but would give me six if it came to court.
09:14Here's their assessment.
09:15You can read it for yourself.
09:17I'm the recipient already of one of their bullying letters.
09:20You'll receive the formal documents, instructions, how, where and when to pay and so on, within the next few days.
09:27But where, in the name of lifelong ruin, am I to get four hundred pounds?
09:31You know my circumstances. You know what this place makes.
09:34You know the whole business isn't worth four hundred.
09:36That's your lookout. You should have thought of that before you betrayed me.
09:39Of course, if I may call your attention to it once more, there is an alternative.
09:47I'd rather starve to death than come within a mile of you.
09:49I'm glad you told her that.
09:59Of course, you'd rather have starved.
10:01Nan, my dearest love.
10:05Starvation is something one might well have to get used to.
10:09Oh, hush.
10:10A beautiful, gentlemanly person like you is not made for that.
10:15You'll find a way.
10:17I'll have to mortgage the shop.
10:18Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
10:48oh but dearest wouldn't it be an idea for you to talk to a solicitor too I mean
10:56since she has it would only be a waste of money Nan Kate Cookham will have made
11:01sure of that happy wedding day Mrs. Dodd happy nuptials to you Mr. Dodd
11:17all the happiness in the world my dear it's not quite the send-off I should have
11:23wished for a daughter of mine but since the business collapsed father you know I
11:27never wanted a big wedding not even when I was a little girl I know that
11:40I secreted a little something in the cupboard here before we set off for the
11:44registry office it's only sherry I'm afraid well that's very kind of you Ned you
11:49shouldn't have you know you've got grit Herbert Dodd not many men would do what
11:56you've done marrying the daughter of a bankrupt father when you've got
12:01business bodies of your own love and honor they they go together don't they bad is it
12:10I have mortgaged the shop I've mortgaged the stock and still I've been able to raise only 200 out of
12:17the four and I don't even know how I'm gonna pay the interest on the mortgages the business won't
12:21stand it or anything like it the woman knows it yet still the damn letters from her solicitors more
12:26more more more I wish I could help yeah drink this up and forget about it for a bit that's why if we're
12:38blessed with children I pray for daughters if I've no business to leave to a son and
12:42I'm pretty sure I shan't have I'd rather have a daughter I know how you feel old man anyway
12:50they seem very very cruel they're not the cruel ones they're only following instructions
13:01her instructions I'm told she's living in London now in style on us
13:07shall we be able to keep our little flat here over the shop we shall have to it's all we've got left
13:14dearest since she took legal advice I wonder that you didn't do the same
13:27before being sure I mean that you stood no chance perhaps your people would see things differently
13:36from hers all any lawyer would have wanted to do would have been to drag me into court to fight it
13:41out but might they not have told you that she could never take you into court with that letter
13:47that letter was a gift to any jury oh no I'd I'd have ended up in court never fear at least I've
13:52avoided that final degradation yes I'm sure you're right dearest anyway I am sure you always take
13:59too gloomy of you I'm sure everything's going to turn out well first isn't it yes of course it is dearest
14:09man right that's the last of them then gov
14:19I'll put it on the car I'll use it here and smooth it
14:23there there it's all right it's all right my dear I shall get a job as a
14:53publisher's representative selling to bookshops I shall probably make my fortune
14:58shan't I Jenny hey yes yes of course you shall I mean if you don't know about books who does
15:07that way I shall be able to keep up the mortgage on our little flat
15:10you have decided to mortgage to the flat then after all I must my dear the vultures are still
15:18at me I must try to get together another fifty fifty where will it ever end what are you going
15:29to do about the rest I don't know Nan I don't know can't you tell her through her solicitors what
15:39she's doing to us I'd rather lie in the gutter like an Indian beggar first I wonder you didn't
15:49take advice as she did
15:56if only you checked
16:15only made sure she was within her rights
16:19that's all I say
16:21I sent her the 20
16:23that's 300 she's had now
16:26and that's all she's getting
16:28she's simply not strong enough
16:46not well nourished enough
16:49to pull through
16:50you look all in yourself
16:54isn't there someone else
16:56who could sit with her for a bit
16:57some other member of the family
16:59there was
17:00she would have been nine now
17:03same thing influenza
17:05if you take an advice
17:15she was
17:17she's
17:19she's
17:21she's
17:23she's
17:25she's
17:27she's
17:29So, let's go.
17:59do you mind if I sit down
18:29no please don't let me chase you away this is a public bench is it not
18:39then may we not both enjoy it
18:43I'll go away if you wish me to I mean now now that you've seen that I'm here I
19:00wanted you to know that I was here I didn't want us to meet accidentally I
19:06thought of writing to you and then I was afraid that if I wrote you might refuse
19:11so knowing that you must come here I thought of this way I've waited several
19:22days for you to come but I'll do as you wish you want me to go I'll go but in
19:29that case I should like to come back I came down I came from town on purpose to
19:43see you and staying on and I have great patience and I'll give you time
19:51and you may I say it's important now that I do see you I see how inevitable it
20:01was inevitable I mean I really couldn't not have come
20:07but I don't expect you to understand that until you get used to the idea get
20:15used to what idea of my being here in the town after ten years I see you're
20:26thinking of coming back here to live I'm not entirely sure you find the place
20:30greatly changed not to the better either oh really oh it's going down and down and
20:36down it's going so fast heaven only knows when it will stop mind you I'd not
20:42abandon it myself I like the place still with all its faults I suppose one gets
20:48used to the old town clerk died you know you remember him old Paxley he was a good
20:54man for the town got a new chap in now one of these fellas with modern ideas I'm
20:59told he's not the same article at all I'm told council don't know where they are
21:03with him half the time I wanted to ask they pulled down the old market cross in
21:08the square you know oh four years ago in his place they put up one of those nasty
21:14hotels for visitors the council's whole policy seems to be to cater for cheap
21:19excursionists I'm staying at the Royal oh are you now have you ever been in it it's
21:33once I had to deliver a set of books to a rich lady who was staying there she
21:39wanted to take them back to London I remember she left without settling with
21:42me she sent me her cheque from London four months later you should have charged her
21:48interest did they have the Bijou theater on the end of the pier ten years ago and I don't
22:01remember I think it's in a very poor way now the company who run it are in a very precarious state
22:08I understand very precarious financial state people here won't support anything that's at least bit
22:13artistic I sometimes wonder what they want out of life half the time I wonder if I might prevail on
22:19you to come to Sunday tea with me tomorrow at five the Royal yes I gave up my modest but rather
22:31interesting little old book business ever so long ago you know if you can come I shall be at home I came
22:50down as I said for the sole purpose of seeing you but I leave you to decide how you feel about it I can
22:57quite understand that it might take some thinking about I know that I still owe you a large sum of
23:03money if you've come to see me about that I may as well tell you here now that I shall be able to
23:08meet my full obligation in the future as little as I've met it in the past I shall never be able
23:13to pay up that balance
23:27you must think about it take your time but I shall be at home
23:42are you married no I'm not married oh I see
23:57there
24:03yeah
24:12yeah
24:22yeah
24:24you decided then I wouldn't miss it now for the world I have concluded that she
24:38wants something from me I thought that the least I can do is to listen to what
24:43she has to say I shouldn't have thought you'd have wanted any commerce at all
24:47with that woman she killed your wife and my daughter and my granddaughter as sure as
24:54heads lay eggs if I'm to have my revenge I've also reason that I must know at what
24:59point to attack she'll give me an opening to that end when she tells me what she
25:03wants no she a woman like that my nan might have done your nan she was unguarded
25:10as a kitten for this one to want something from someone is already to put
25:15yourself a little in their hands besides I've decided it's an adventure and when
25:20in my benighted life have I ever had anything remotely resembling an adventure
25:24especially one with sweet revenge at the end and then we told him it was a
25:32court-martial offense if the supplies weren't found and lo and behold they
25:37turned up the very next day well that's quartermasters for you they sound rather
25:42enterprising to me if you please madam mr. Dodd
25:52mr. Dodd how nice of you've come captain Roper mr. Herbert Dodd how do you do how do you do
26:01well then goodbye till next time captain oh yes indeed oh thank you very much for the tea it was extremely
26:12pleasant
26:19goodbye to you sir
26:30he's an acquaintance but he's a bore he turned up without being invited and I told him before you
26:34came that I was expecting a gentleman with whom I should wish to be alone
26:38and anyway he'd had his tea no but he hadn't had his tea
26:45well at any rate you must have yours I've come as you've seen but um
26:51I've come to understand and if you require to be alone with me and if I am to break bread with you
26:57it seems to me that I must first know exactly where I am and to what you assume I commit myself
27:02you commit yourself to nothing you're perfectly free it's only I who am not free
27:12now won't you please sit down please have some tea
27:17do
27:28you are not free
27:30I'm tied to this
27:32but this is luxury and riches
27:35don't riches liberate
27:37riches
27:38yes you always used quaint phrases well if you prefer it then you obviously got a lot of money
27:45yes
27:47I've got money
27:49it intrigues you of course and you wonder about it and I wanted you to wonder
27:53it was to make you take in that fact that I came
27:57so now you know
27:58you you came to show me you got pots of money
28:00I have enough
28:02enough
28:03I should think so
28:05enough for what I wanted
28:07I don't always live like this I'm too thrifty for that
28:10but I can if I want to
28:13I came to the best hotel on purpose
28:16I wanted to show you I could
28:19now do you understand
28:21understand
28:23but it wasn't wasted
28:24what I did
28:30what I did here all those years ago
28:32you mean when you made me pay you
28:33the 300
28:35all I could get from you as you reminded me yesterday so I had to give up the rest
28:42that was the idea I had
28:44to bleed me quite to death
28:46to make you raise money
28:48since you had to you had to you did so what better proof could there be
28:51oh I did oh yes I did indeed
28:56well then
28:58here it is
29:01it isn't lost
29:02here it is
29:04my poor agonized old money
29:07my blood
29:08it's my blood too now
29:10I took it from you but this
29:13the fact that one can live like this
29:16that's what I've made of it
29:17that was the idea I had
29:22to have everything in the world at my wretched expense
29:25to make you use your money in a way you'd never have used it yourself
29:28my money
29:29do you do you know what my life has been
29:31of unique conception how I have lived woman
29:35my wife died attended by a charity doctor
29:37she was a beautiful girl when I married her
29:42when she died she looked like an old woman
29:45she became an old woman she died an old woman
29:48because I wasn't able to give her enough
29:52food or warmth or anything that a man is supposed to provide for his woman
29:59my daughter jenny she died too
30:02she was never very strong
30:03she died because I wasn't able to provide for her the way
30:09her father is supposed to provide for his child
30:14and all because you had your idea
30:20I did it for you
30:21I did it for you
30:27for me
30:28don't you understand
30:31for what other reason could it have been
30:33for grasp greed and vindictiveness
30:37no
30:38if it was for me would you kindly enlighten me as to what good it has ever done me
30:44it will do you good now
30:46and am I to understand that your notion is to repay me
30:56my intention is to repay you with interest
31:01oh
31:02I wanted to take care of you
31:14it was what I first wanted
31:17it was all I wanted
31:19it was what you consented to
31:22and I'd have done it
31:24oh I'd have done it
31:26I'd have loved you and helped you
31:28and guarded you and you'd have had no trouble in your life
31:32you'd have been safe and easy and comfortable
31:37you swore that you cared for me
31:39you wrote it and made me believe it
31:42you pledged me your honor and your faith
31:47then you turned and changed suddenly from one day to the next
31:50everything altered
31:52you broke your vows
31:54you as good as told me you only wanted a break with me
31:56you faced me with dislike
31:59behaved as if you hated me
32:01you'd met a girl of great beauty I admit
32:03who made me seem a fright in a ball
32:05no
32:05yes
32:06no no never never
32:09I'd never seen her at that time and didn't even dream of her
32:14it was you who became sharp and harsh with me
32:16and then I saw you get off the train with bill franklin
32:19I thought that was the reason
32:20and I spoke to nan as a confidante in my misery
32:24you saw me get out of a compartment once
32:27with mr. bill franklin
32:30it was your faces
32:34you were laughing
32:37well never mind
32:39I dare say we will never know the real truth of it neither of us
32:45but we shall have our versions
32:47sometimes it seems a long time ago
32:50sometimes it doesn't
32:53it's always seemed like yesterday to me
32:57well let's say that there wasn't much difference
33:00whether it was for another woman or because of a false imagining on your part
33:04or that you suddenly found me plain and simply loathed me for myself
33:07the effect was the same
33:09I was out in the cold
33:10and nothing is more hopeless than complaining that someone doesn't love you anymore
33:14no I didn't intend to cause you pain
33:17do you remember that sonnet of shakespeare's the one you used to read to me
33:20love is not love that alters when it alteration finds
33:24I found that was true
33:27you're telling me you ruined me out of love
33:32all I ever wanted exclusively and passionately from the first day I met you was to take care of you
33:38I was denied the opportunity it was snatched away from me so I had to find another way
33:43another way another way to secure your future for you
33:46what I had no money whatever then nothing of my own it wasn't with mine I could do it
33:50but I could do it with yours I knew I could if I could once get it out of you
33:54you put my life up at the sale room
33:56but using your money for you and using you yourself for your own futures I should have done
34:01had you married me that was my motive
34:05and as I've told you without your quite seeming to understand it I've brought it all back to you
34:13everything every penny I squeezed out of you multiplied many times over
34:20I don't think you can think about that
34:35how could I not think about it in a way they helped pay for what you're offering me now
34:39they went without they died
34:42my poor loyal man with only her one question the only question she ever reproached me with
34:47what question can you give me your word of honor that if I had taken decent advice
34:56I mightn't have defied you
35:01certainly you could have defied me
35:05they would have told me you had no legal case
35:09they would have told you that I had nothing
35:17but she would have told you that it's not an evidence
35:39here you know I have never done that well you've got to do something old man you can't sit here
35:56and mope and torment yourself the way you're doing where's your revenge then what's about
36:04suppresses revenge how can you take revenge on a woman who's offering you money in handfuls what
36:09can you do to hurt her you can take it that wouldn't hurt her that's what she wants you know in a way
36:16it's it's it's incredibly incredibly romantic to the fact that she still loves you oh romantic
36:26no no no no hermit fair's fair think of her as we may she's a staunchman she sticks she's terrifying
36:36she's the strangest mixture of tenderness and patience and cruelty the world ever saw she's
36:42like a fairy tale and a nightmare rolled into one well the fairy tale part of it I can understand
36:48that I mean an under clerk at the gas board suddenly being offered a fortune but I'm hanged if I can see
36:56any nightmare in it oh by the way old man do you mind if I dust down here tonight troubles with the
37:04landlady in the what troubles with the landlady oh no no of course not no the nightmare is how can I
37:14accept a fortune with them staring at me my lovely nan my lovely jenny who died because of what she
37:22brought on us indirectly on my very indirect directly she didn't breathe the sickness on
37:31them she didn't know you were going to be a failure you know that's the strangest part of all I think she
37:38did I believe that's that's why she thought I needed her in the first place perhaps she did
37:46I'll not take her money I thought it was your money I'll not betray nan and jenny I'll not give up
37:53my bitterness and hatred she can sit there in the royal hotel among her plushes and her bronzes for
37:5810 years I'll I'll not come near her again you're sure you wouldn't no hang you no no
38:06you've done well I'll save that for you I mean holding up the way you have
38:32it's been a week now I have thought you'd have thought what oh just plain simple curiosity old
38:42man I mean the desire to know how did she do it turning your money into a fortune
38:50that'd be a trick worth hearing about all the same even if you did nothing about it I'm not
38:58interested how can you say you're not interested I grant you full marks for holding up but I've
39:04got eyes in my head but I can see what it's costing you it's costing me nothing the main thing is it's
39:10going to cost you your job taking time off day after day to roam about the town and the promenade
39:18like a tiger the gas ball will stand for that it's marvelous you know Ned Drury what a tender interest
39:27you're taking in me since the prospect of money gleamed in my life now that's not
39:32fair I've always stuck by you bonds of marriage two derelicts washed up on the
39:43beach of life together I've always looked out for you I'm sorry I was a terrible thing to say I know
39:52you have you're right the whole thing is a mortal strain it takes nerve to do what
40:00you're doing I know I've seen you I've watched you walk past the Royal Hotel I have a dozen times on your
40:10wanderings not once not once you so much as turned your head to look at it you've had no sign for me none
40:20nothing at all not a flicker no for all you know she may have gone back to London the
40:26first night she may well have done so you've lost everything forever I'll have kept myself
40:36respect somehow I've always managed to keep that I've never given in to her on anything ever
40:44she's still here how do you know that well the underporter there's a friend of mine I inquired of him
41:05you shouldn't have done that no no no don't worry she won't find out I hardly imagine she's the type of
41:12woman that even passed the time of day that underporter in any way if she did hear about the inquiry she'd
41:19hardly connected with you yes I suppose you're right and I begin to be in danger of investing her with
41:26the powers of a witch thank you what do you suppose she's hanging on for her idea she calls it she has to
41:34follow it through she's always been like that I must be broken down you know you're always
41:41talking about going to see her but if she should come to you come to me she did it once finding you
41:50there on the bench last week I mean what's to stop her from doing it again once she knows you're not
41:56going to see her what's to stop her seeking you out again I know her she'd not do that a second
42:03time she might to boast she did if she came to me again and it's an impossible if it would mean she
42:13felt absolutely sure of success she's not a woman to feel herself to have failed twice it would mean
42:19she took my refusal for hollow heroics of vain parade that my need my misery my inability to go
42:28on hating my pathetic response like a stray mongrel to the least little pat on the head would this
42:33time bring me down and bring me to heel it would mean she assumed I was tired and frightened that I woke
42:45every morning with my stomach in a knot of wretchedness that I went to bed every night as to a refuge I hoped
42:54would turn into eternity it would mean she felt I go through life lost in a fog of terror she would assume
43:05all that what yes yeah it would mean that she'd done so yes what would you do if she did come
43:17I'd turn my back on her and walk straight away
43:23I'm scared to have that no you mind yeah
43:33yeah
43:35yeah
43:37yeah
43:39yeah
43:41yeah
43:43yeah
43:45yeah
43:47yeah
43:49yeah
43:51I've opened an account for you at the local branch of the bank I use in London
44:11it's all in there for you you only have to draw draw yes that's what people do when they have money they
44:20draw it out and use it
44:24please won't you come and sit down I have all the details for you we can hardly go into it standing here
44:38supposing I choose not to draw supposing I just leave it all there to gather dust
44:42that's your choice of course but what it will gather will not be dust but interest
44:46the problem as it were will grow bigger and not smaller
44:50supposing I just give it all the way to charity
44:52that too is your privilege at least you'd have made your own decision about your own money
44:56now this is the statement of account
44:58this is the form of credit I've arranged for you
45:06here's your checkbook
45:08you'll have to provide them with a specimen signature of course
45:10I should have thought you'd have
45:12I should have thought you'd have
45:14given up I should have thought you'd have gone away
45:16oh come now Herbert Dodd
45:18as if you didn't know by what accord
45:20you hold me
45:22you knew I wouldn't go away
45:24you knew that if I was silent it was
45:26because I was busy on your behalf
45:28swear to you I thought nothing
45:30of the kind
45:32you certainly knew where you could find me this morning
45:34as I equally certainly knew where I should find you
45:36I had no idea in the world I'd find you here
45:38this has been my haunt over the years not yours
45:40it's been my habit of a lifetime
45:42to come here every Sunday morning that
45:44seemed too beautiful to be shut in church
45:46I hadn't dreamed that you'd been here
45:48had I thought so I wouldn't have come
45:50and it was you who came to me just now wasn't it

46:49don't we discuss it further
46:51it seems so abrupt now that it's done
46:54well it's not abrupt for me
46:56it's the end of a long journey
46:59but it's only abrupt as all arrivals are
47:02but it isn't an arrival
47:03it's a departure
47:04yes it's that too
47:07but if you go
47:10shan't I see you again
47:12do you like to see me
47:18where did it all come from

47:34it's all I made every penny
47:36you must have slaves
47:38yes I slaved
47:39but no more than you
47:41I told you a long time ago I had a talent for commerce
47:44I can't take all this
47:48what will you live on
47:50oh I've learned to live on very little
47:52every penny that wasn't working for you I begrudged bitterly
47:55it's odd isn't it
48:01the saying is money isn't everything
48:04it's it's an enormous thing of course
48:10it isn't everything is it
48:14there are demons it won't buy off

48:31I've no need to be at the centre now

48:46they do say it's awfully sunny and nice
48:49oh yes it's very nice
