Yes? Who is it?

Amy? Yes, Doctor?

Oh, is anything wrong?

No, no.

I heard you cry out.

Oh!

Yes, yes, I did.

It was stupid of me. It was, um... It was a mouse.

It ran over my foot.

A mouse?

Yes.

It's a mouse.

Did I wake the children?

Well, I hope not. I've got to be up at six o 'clock to catch that train.

We'd better get a cat.

For the mouse.

What do you want?

I'm in trouble.

What trouble?

Money. Oh, Edwin, it's always money.

Don't try and lecture me, Antony. Lecture you? You're not a child, you're

Or you're supposed to be one. Look, I promised at this time... Oh, Edwin, I

remember so many promises.

Look, I've had a lot of bad luck lately.

Everything seems to have gone wrong.

Now Comber's after me.

Comber?

Jack Cumber.

He's a bookie over at Windlesham.

I owe him 50 pounds.

50 pounds?

His tufts are after me. Shh.

I swear I'll let you have it back. I just need the time.

No.

Why not? You've let me have money before.

Not 50 pounds.

I promise.

Don't you understand?

I haven't got it.

You mean you won't help me?

They may be waiting for me in my lodgings. But you can't stay here.

Couldn't I sleep in the barn?

Oh, very well, but you'll have to go first thing in the morning.

I remember things, too.

I was there when you promised Mother.

Don't you worry, Martha, you said.

I'll be here if ever he needs anything.

I owe it to you.

Do you remember that, Aunt Amy?

are. Well, you don't look it. I was up long before you were anyway.

Father? Yes, Kevin, what is it? Shall I take my fishing rod with me? No, of

course not. There isn't a river for miles.

Where did I put my rod? There you go. You're always losing things. No, I'm

Oh, here they are. Come on, come on, you two. Mr. Williams will be here any

moment. Vicky, have you seen my kite?

No.

Have you seen Kevin's kite, Amy?

up there, Vicki?

Kevin's kite.

Have you seen it? At the cupboard under the stairs.

Thanks.

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, of course.

No, you're not.

Amy!

Now, now, don't you take any notice.

Morning, Doctor.

Nice day for the trip. I must go and say goodbye to Black Beauty. No!

Mr. Williams is here.

Well, goodbye then, Vicki, and have a nice holiday.

Come on, come on.

All aboard!

What

about

Edmund Porgrave?

Did he pay up? He wasn't there, Mr. Comber.

The landlady said the bed hadn't been slept in.

Gone into hiding, eh?

Looks like it.

Dig him out.

Teach him a lesson.

Come on, Dan. Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Has Beauty run away?

No, Robbie.

Then where is he?

He's been borrowed.

Does Dr. Gordon know? No, not yet.

If someone borrowed my fishing rod without asking me, I wouldn't just be

I'd be furious.

Look, Robbie.

I want you to do something for me, and it's very important.

It's the matter of life and death. Yes. Look, I have to go out, and I want you

to wait here until Dr.

Gordon gets back.

Will you do that for me? Yes, Miss Winthrop. And tell him I've gone to get

Beauty.

Miss Winthrop.

Yes. We're looking for your nephew, Miss Winthrop.

Well, who might you be?

We thought you might know of his whereabouts.

Well, I don't. It's business, isn't it, Gus?

Oh, yeah.

Well, I can't help you.

Petit. Then I wish to pass.

Certainly. Certainly.

Gus.

She knows.

And she'll lead us to him.

Now where?

Did she say where?

No, just that he'd been borrowed and she'd gone to fetch him.

I don't understand it.

She was in a hurry.

What could she mean?

I've borrowed the horse.

Bring the 50 to Rice and Chalk Pit by 11.

If not, I'll sell him.

Ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty -five, thirty pounds.

You do understand this closes your account, Miss Winthrop?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

Yes. Well?

I need 20 pounds.

And?

You see, I have to find 50 pounds.

I've only got 30, so I must have the other 20.

Hmm.

20.

Get it from the ring?

Sixteen. But I must have twenty.

Please. I'm not a registered charity, you know.

Oh, I know that. Yes.

Sixteen, then.

All right.

All right. Twenty.

She's tricked us. She ain't here.

Come on.

And now, gentlemen, we have another fine and very sound man.

Delightful by name and delightful by nature, gentlemen.

From the stable of Mr. Cole.

A man whose reputation we all know and respect.

Now then, gentlemen, full of quality, lovely action, 60 -year -old.

All start with 50.

No, not worth it. There's nothing here that interests me.

Where's she off to now?

The horse sale. Yes. Do you know where it's held?

It's auction yard, ma 'am, but surely you don't want to go there.

Yes, and quickly.

What's she going there for?

She's not going there to buy a horse, is she?

Paul Gray.

Come on.

Yes.

Please.

What's his name?

White Star.

Over there.

He ain't a racehorse, ma 'am.

Come on, then.

Fifteen guineas. And a half. And a half.

And a half over there.

Fifteen and a half guineas.

Sixteen. Sixteen guineas. Sixteen on bed. Seventeen. Thank you, sir.

17 guineas.

Sure. 18. 18 guineas. Do I see 18 and a half? 18 and a half it is.

19 and 19. Now anything of this history? Would you make your bids a little

clearer? Thank you. 19.

Thank you, sir. And your name?

Mr. Redmond, Highways Park.

Mr. Hewitt, put up the black stallion, will you?

Yes, I thought you'd be interested in him.

Right, your honor, Mr. Tillman.

Put up the black stallion.

White!

Star, gentlemen.

Present owner, extremely reluctant to sell. And no wonder, gentlemen, no

What shape, what shoulders and back. Here's real quality, gentlemen.

Plenty of bone, good temperament.

Who's to be 20 guineas?

20, I bet.

See this, X.

High and majestic, see for yourself.

Any advance on 24?

Go to 24.

25, 26, 26, give me. 27, give me.

28.

Oh, no.

You mustn't.

29, 29, 30.

And one.

As I said, gentlemen, the present owner is extremely reluctant to sell. And I

can't elaborate on the reasons why, gentlemen, but they are genuine.

You have my word for it. 31 guillis for this beautiful black stallion.

Come along. We can't let him go at this price, gentlemen. It's laughable.

34. Oh, give me 35. 35, I'm better with.

36. No!

36 guillis.

Aunt Amy.

Please, don't give me away. Why shouldn't I? It will mean prison.

Please.

Do I hear 37?

Do I hear 37 on my left there?

36 guineas, 36 I'm bidding. Any advance on 36 guineas? 37, please.

Are you bidding, ma 'am? Yes, I am.

time at 55 guineas. Going for the second time at 55 guineas.

Stop!

No, sir, what's the matter there?

We're doing business here, sir. You can't interfere with the sale of a horse

this manner.

This is my horse.

He's not for sale.

His name is Black Beauty.

What about my money, Paul Grave?

Don't you lay a finger on him.

Come with me.

Hey, missus. Dr. Gordon. Dr.

Gordon. Excuse me.

This is my nephew, Edwin.

I tried to save him from disgrace, but I was wrong.

He should be punished. He owes me 50 pounds.

And you're no better than he is.

Setting your ruffs on him like hounds after a fox.

I was desperate.

If it wasn't for Amy here, I'd... What about my 50 pounds?

You'll get your money.

I'll see to that.

Edwin will pay you back every penny.

By earning it honestly.

Won't you, Edwin?

I... Whoa,

boy.

Won't you, Edwin?

Yes. All right.

Thank you.
