I've only got one more delivery. We can go home together if you like. Yes.

No, I mean no. I have to go home.

I have to check something and then I have to work.

What's that?

This?

Yes.

Nothing.

I'll tell you soon.

Maybe the key to a golden future.

Mad as a Hatter.

Good afternoon, Manfred.

Good afternoon, Dr. Gordy.

Good afternoon, Jenny.

You seem very excited.

Can I have tomorrow if I do all the work today?

Of course you can. You don't have to ask.

I wonder what he needs that night for.

Perhaps he's not certain where he is.

Mail call.

Good afternoon, Pamper.

Why are we all... Always last.

Thank you.

One for me, from Grandfather Fordham, and one for you, from Grandfather

Thank you, Vicki.

Nothing for you, Manfred.

Except a blue -toothed sausage a mile long and a life -size statue of the

Kaiser.

Manfred?

Yes, I get the work done.

Tomorrow I... Yes, tomorrow is all right.

Thank you.

Dearest darling Victoria, my dear Jennifer.

Morning, Manfred.

Good morning.

What's in the parcel?

Nothing.

Then why hide?

Excuse me, I have to prepare for the journey.

What journey? The journey I take.

To the picnic.

You're acting very strangely.

I am not.

Is it a secret?

I will tell you afterwards.

Oh, why can't you tell me now?

Because I'm going now.

Please, Manfred.

No. Please.

You must promise to not tell anyone at all. Not a living soul. Cross my heart.

The key to a golden future.

Lost gold mines of Australasia.

Oh, really, Manfred?

This one. Dooney's glory hole is in this area.

Yes, but no one knows where.

I know where.

For ten years, old Dooney worked his mind and paid for everything in gold.

he'd tell no one where it is.

It had to be pumped out. That is all that is known.

Yesterday, two boys take this to Hildeburton for scrap iron.

I was there. I buy it.

They found it where no mines are marked. How far away is it?

Six miles down the coast.

I want to go there before they tell anyone else. Can I come with you?

No. Please, Manfred.

No. I did my lessons yesterday. Mr. Burton doesn't need me until this

No. Please.

Is my granddaughter attending lessons?

Is my granddaughter getting enough exercise?

I think the South American cruise is an excellent idea.

She doesn't want to go.

Yes.

But he keeps asking, and sooner or later... Um, I thought if you don't

might go with Manfred. I should be back by one.

I've done all my work. You were going to help me mix the medicines, remember?

Oh.

Oh, go on.

I'll get my gloves.

It'll be a nice ride.

Raise your hand. Come on.

You're still upset, aren't you?

I'm not.

You were simmering all night.

I'm going to write Lord Fordham a very sharp letter.

You're so patronising.

Honestly, men.

The older they get, the more pompous they become.

Oh, do they now?

Sorry.

Why didn't you let me help?

No, no, I'm all right.

You go on reading.

What are you reading?

Oh, I found it in the barn. The number of lost gold mines there are.

Excuse me. Hmm?

Doonies.

Just think, Vicky, by tomorrow, Beauty may have horseshoes of solid gold.

Lead on, Manfred.

Up there, Penny Millett.

50 guineas on the hoof.

Who?

It appears to be what he brought home yesterday.

I've seen one of these in mine working.

But surely it doesn't amount to much. Manfred's really quite sensible.

Yes, well, the lure of gold has a way of doing things to common sense.

And Vicky wouldn't need much persuading.

I'm supposing you're right. What harm is there?

Frank Coates told me about Dooney's mine.

Dooney went in to work it every week.

One week, he never came back.

Should be here.

Nothing here that looks like a gold mine.

Maybe this is where the pump handle comes from.

So the mine might be around here somewhere.

Where?

This is Mr. Dooney's glory hole.

You have no heart?

No.

No gold, Memphis.

Well, I can find the mine.

That's something to tell people about.

Manfred was routing around in me scrap arm when the kids brought it in.

What did they say where they found it? Oh, I don't know.

Somewhere up the two -mile gully. I paid them a penny for it.

A penny too much.

And I sold it to Manfred for threepence.

Where do these boys live?

About five miles up. They're through most days.

They bring in eggs.

They said they'd bring some in today.

As government representative for pest control, I pay a bounty on starling

which they, of course, spend on lollies.

I should be here around now.

Hank, I'll wait.

Be careful.

Why?

My fault is weak in things, I think.

What is that?

time ago, Vicky.

Yes, and it might happen to us.

Manfred, we have to get out.

Judy's up there.

He'd go back to the farm if I told him to.

Oh!

Albert? Where's your friend George?

Him that found the pom -pam book?

He can't come, Mrs. Burton. He's got a hoping car.

Oh.

Wait for what? The roof to cave in?

Beauty may not find someone in time.

What else can we do?

Find a way out.

I'm broke here.

All sorts of other things.

where he got it.

He said he found it.

You won't get a penny of the egg money until you've answered all the questions

properly. Come, you. Mr. Burton.

He said he found it by a little hole.

And that little hole's a pickle.

Can we have our money now?

Do you want me to get the men together?

We don't know that there's anything real.

it, don't you?

I think I'll have a look myself first.

Vicky on Black Beauty can't come to any...

It's a chance we'll have to take.

Come on!

You think?

Quickly.

You first.

No time to be late. Get up there now.

to see you both.

Beauty.

You were irresponsible, stupid, and reckless.

You showed a complete immaturity and disregard for the consequences.

I should send you on your way, Manfred. And I would.

Only I know how persuasive this young madam can be. Stop, lady!

engaged a housekeeper, Miss Winthrop.

It was the best decision I ever made.

Of course, Jenny didn't like it. She thought Miss Winthrop was a terrible,

bossy woman. Didn't like her at all.

You see, Amy, Miss Winthrop, took the place of Jenny's mother, and she

didn't want anybody doing that.

She felt that that was being disloyal to her mother's memory.

What Jenny had to find out for herself was that loving a second mother

didn't mean giving up her love for the first.

I've never thought that. Oh, no, you've never wanted to.

Neither did she.

Now, what would have happened if you'd wandered off and got into trouble like

that?

What would your mother have said?

She would have been very, very cross.

Because she loved you and cared for you.

I've been so selfish.

No. Yes.

Not just with Jenny, but with you.

You are part of our family.

Yes.

I'm very sorry to have caused you so much trouble.

Jenny?

I will go in the morning.

No!

No, I think you've both learned a lesson.

There's no easy path to riches, Manfred. Anybody who thinks differently is very

silly indeed.

Very silly.

Yes.

Whatever scraps of gold you found are now buried under tons of rubble.

No.

I get it before I climb the rope.

I'm not that silly.
