catch in these bars land

what you're saying is the idea of this

visit of yours this afternoon

i don't know father the um

the chapman's just inviting me around

for tea i go back to university next

week i

suppose it was to say goodbye oh well i

suppose it's a little more than that

charlie there's more to marriage than a

bit of romance you know

now just consider how valuable the two

families of substance a union like that

can be

let me down

get back here for five o'clock i'll have

a last ready and waiting

don't worry should be no hardship

what did you want me for nothing mother

he was just talking about my visit to

the chaplains

and what did the great man have to say

about that

yeah he asked me what i thought about

victoria chapman oh

so it's out in the open

i don't like the idea she's a bit too

versed in the ways of the world that one

he thinks we'd make a good match oh he

does does he

as though he cares about your happiness

any more than hal

chapman cares about hers

charlie wake up the chapmans are always

short of money and your father's greedy

for land

each one wants what the other has and

not for their families either

but for their own self-importance

if you want to see that kind of marriage

just look at your father and me

men men

why do you let him bully you stand up

for yourself

boy stand up for yourself

come on

thanks for coming over charlie let's

have some dude

forward to the new term

bull's backside

whatever she wants

you're her next poor old thing no me

nilly not me

promise

marrying you

miss you my god you're drunk

you just brush that straw off you and

you get back to the house and go out the

back stairs to your room you're not fit

to be seen

charlie and i are friends we've always

been friends

she doesn't care a bit about him and you

victoria

this is going to be my engagement party

are we making an announcement

or not with him in that state

go on get back to the house

well that's for you even no father to

guide you

so you better listen to me lad you just

get yourself off home

we'll give it out that you've been taken

poorly but if you're not here first

thing tomorrow morning to sort all this

out

so i i don't think i want to get married

just yet

you don't have to you just have to get

engaged

i was at the chapman's last night i saw

polly

yeah said you'd advise her

it's true is it you mean to marry her

i do sir

and by what right slater do you have to

marry her right

let's not talk about rights you wanted

her didn't you

for years you wanted her but you didn't

have the guts to take not even when your

father offered her on a plate

oh hi she told me i had to be a reason

why bully boy arthur throttled your old

man

watch your tongue slater god how i used

to envy you me without a father

and you given everything and what did

you do

you watched him but your own father

murdered

and covered it up later not to save

arthur's skin no but a shine in polly's

eyes

and it was all for now she's coming to

me

and you you loser you have luster you

lose everything before you're finished

everything get out good cut the knot

i'll go and be glad to

but you charlie mcfell you may never see

me again in this life

but you'll always carry the fear of me

because i know how your father died

and you'll know that i could let the cat

out of that bag

anytime i like

[Music]

so

well mr macbell

what a pickle we found ourselves in

you know i was thought you rather weak

charming and attractive but weak

but maybe you're a little stronger than

i thought

drinking in the heal off with my little

sister

she ought to have her ears boxed i don't

know how that happened

you couldn't possibly care for nelly

could you no of course not

not in that way she's only a baby no and

you're so mature

don't worry charlie i'm mature enough

for both of us

so what are we going to do about this

engagement

well we've never really talked about it

i thought we've been seeing each other

because that's what our families want

but we have to decide don't we what we

want

why charlie that's quite eloquent for

you

there is something else i'm never sure

how you feel about the others

what others victoria you know what

others

you're very beautiful and it's natural

that men should want to chase you

but i do need to know

are you interested in them or me i've

never been interested in marriage or

settling down

but now i think i am i want my

independence

charlie mother rules the roost here

we could have a much better life on her

own

and that is what your father wants isn't

it hmm

quiet so you see you'll be giving

pleasure all round

and talking of pleasure

oh god charlie you'll have to do better

than that

[Music]

there we go

[Music]

thank you

[Music]

oh

[Music]

ah

[Music]

you
