QUARTET
3
00:00:41,935 --> 00:00:45,167
Subtitles by Seglora
4
00:02:16,022 --> 00:02:20,305
The star of this film is not an
actor or an actress but a writer
5
00:02:20,305 --> 00:02:25,075
I know there was so help to make it,
take pleasure and paying tribute to him
6
00:02:25,536 --> 00:02:32,090
William Somerset Maugham born in Paris
in 1874 is the author of 24 novels
7
00:02:32,384 --> 00:02:36,217
24 plays and upwards
about 100 short stories
8
00:02:36,781 --> 00:02:39,552
This is what he says
about his life and work
9
00:02:40,548 --> 00:02:44,309
One way or another I've used in my writings
10
00:02:44,309 --> 00:02:48,736
pretty well everything that had
happened to me in the course of my life
11
00:02:49,408 --> 00:02:51,506
Sometimes an experience of my own
12
00:02:52,465 --> 00:02:54,638
has provided me with an idea
13
00:02:55,127 --> 00:02:59,480
and I just had to invent the
incidence to illustrate it
14
00:03:00,232 --> 00:03:07,602
but more often I've taken people
I've known either slightly or intimately
15
00:03:08,184 --> 00:03:15,389
and used them as a foundation for a
characters of my own inventions
16
00:03:15,973 --> 00:03:21,838
but to tell you the truth fact and
fiction is so intermingled in my work
17
00:03:22,881 --> 00:03:26,551
that now looking back I can hardly
distinguish one from the other
18
00:03:28,074 --> 00:03:30,894
In my twenties critics said I was brutal
19
00:03:30,894 --> 00:03:33,230
In my thirties they said I was flippant
20
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:36,447
In my forties they said I was cynical
21
00:03:36,447 --> 00:03:39,397
In my fifties they said I was competent
22
00:03:40,013 --> 00:03:42,995
and then in my sixties they
said I was superficial
23
00:03:44,564 --> 00:03:47,797
I went my own way with
a shrug of the shoulders
24
00:03:48,996 --> 00:03:51,691
Following the path I've had to traced
25
00:03:51,691 --> 00:03:58,422
and trying with my work to fill out the
pattern of life that I've made for myself
26
00:03:59,626 --> 00:04:03,750
Quartet is a collection of four of
Somerset Maugham's favorite stories
27
00:04:04,631 --> 00:04:07,858
The first you'll see is The Facts of Life
28
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:15,115
It was Henry Garnet's habit to drop in
at his club after dinner to play bridge.
29
00:04:15,642 --> 00:04:19,542
He was a pleasant man to play with
he knew the game well
30
00:04:19,542 --> 00:04:22,748
and you could be sure he would
make the best of his cards
31
00:04:23,989 --> 00:04:25,626
-Come on Henry
-Yes
32
00:04:25,626 --> 00:04:27,216
It's you to play
33
00:04:27,216 --> 00:04:30,000
What? Me? Oh,sorry
34
00:04:30,933 --> 00:04:34,082
What? The rest of mine I think,
that's makes it game and rubber
35
00:04:34,739 --> 00:04:36,507
Why on earth didn't you play your count?
36
00:04:36,512 --> 00:04:37,195
I beg you pardon
37
00:04:37,195 --> 00:04:39,067
They would have been two
down if you counted
38
00:04:39,098 --> 00:04:40,214
I hadn't got one
39
00:04:40,214 --> 00:04:41,392
Of course you have
40
00:04:42,909 --> 00:04:44,655
There you are ace of hearts
41
00:04:44,755 --> 00:04:46,689
You suggesting that I'm
not speaking the truth
42
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,956
Oh,my dear chap
43
00:04:48,842 --> 00:04:51,283
Let's cut the inquiry and
play another rubber
44
00:04:51,283 --> 00:04:52,977
You can leave me out,if you don't
mind,I'm not in the mood
45
00:04:53,050 --> 00:04:55,058
-I'm sorry Leslie
-That's all right,old man
46
00:04:56,512 --> 00:04:57,351
What's the trouble?
47
00:04:57,351 --> 00:04:59,202
As a matter of fact I
am a devil of temper
48
00:04:59,698 --> 00:05:00,845
What about?
49
00:05:01,006 --> 00:05:02,179
I had the most upsetting day
50
00:05:02,690 --> 00:05:03,441
Lizzie?
51
00:05:03,441 --> 00:05:06,022
No.Not exactly.If you don't mind
I'd rather like to tell you
52
00:05:06,058 --> 00:05:07,471
Only don't let it go any further
53
00:05:07,565 --> 00:05:09,551
-Of course not
-I should hate it around the club
54
00:05:09,614 --> 00:05:11,037
Much better get it off your chest
55
00:05:11,282 --> 00:05:13,086
Well,it's about my boy Nickie
56
00:05:14,530 --> 00:05:15,568
Say it again Walters
57
00:05:16,011 --> 00:05:17,611
He did very well in that tournament
58
00:05:20,312 --> 00:05:21,402
Yes
59
00:05:21,996 --> 00:05:24,566
It was tennis that started
the whole trouble
60
00:05:25,296 --> 00:05:27,507
My wife and I was down Wimbledon last month
61
00:05:27,621 --> 00:05:30,098
and found out sitting next to old Franklin
62
00:05:30,103 --> 00:05:31,370
I don't know if you know him
63
00:05:31,386 --> 00:05:34,263
but he is sort of fool bar
tennis at the Cambridge
64
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,299
So naturally I asked him how
my boy is getting on
65
00:05:39,055 --> 00:05:40,541
How is Nickie's game coming along?
66
00:05:40,541 --> 00:05:41,432
Not too badly
67
00:05:41,432 --> 00:05:43,606
Any chance of him chosen
to the Vaster team?
68
00:05:43,606 --> 00:05:46,511
Perhaps.He is a bit more
experienced you know
69
00:05:46,511 --> 00:05:47,814
-Yes
-Good shot
70
00:05:50,708 --> 00:05:53,899
Why don't you let him come down
to Monte Carlo to play in the tournament?
71
00:05:53,904 --> 00:05:55,744
Hasn't the British team been chosen?
72
00:05:55,786 --> 00:05:57,027
Yes it has
73
00:05:58,690 --> 00:06:00,650
But the man we are relying
on has let us down
74
00:06:00,650 --> 00:06:02,235
and Nickie just about to fill the bill
75
00:06:02,292 --> 00:06:03,346
Now what do you say?
76
00:06:03,346 --> 00:06:05,222
Well I'd rather he didn't,
if you don't mind
77
00:06:05,238 --> 00:06:07,006
The first place he is not good enough yet
78
00:06:07,021 --> 00:06:09,466
and the second I don't like the
idea of the young boy 19
79
00:06:09,545 --> 00:06:12,470
traipsing around Monte Carlo
with nobody looking after him
80
00:06:12,470 --> 00:06:14,864
I should be there I am going
as non playing Captain
81
00:06:17,666 --> 00:06:19,610
You'll be too busy to bother about Nickie
82
00:06:20,656 --> 00:06:21,474
Just as you say
83
00:06:31,755 --> 00:06:33,523
If you change your mind give me a ring
84
00:06:33,653 --> 00:06:35,896
we shall not decide before next
Wednesday's meeting
85
00:06:36,613 --> 00:06:38,064
-Good bye Mrs Garnet
-Good bye
86
00:06:40,245 --> 00:06:42,761
Have some thinking Nickie is good
enough for Monte Carlo
87
00:06:42,761 --> 00:06:44,392
Yes.He is coming along well
88
00:06:45,601 --> 00:06:46,995
Why not let him go Henry?
89
00:06:46,995 --> 00:06:49,383
Oh,no,certainly not,he's too young
90
00:06:49,383 --> 00:06:51,627
Nickie is not the sort getting
into any mischief
91
00:06:51,627 --> 00:06:54,016
It's not just that but there
is his work to consider
92
00:06:54,016 --> 00:06:55,569
the bad thing to cut the end of term
93
00:06:55,595 --> 00:06:57,333
He'll only miss three days
94
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:59,526
-Do let him?
-No,certainly not..
95
00:06:59,526 --> 00:07:01,716
..I've made up my mind
96
00:07:02,321 --> 00:07:04,589
You know it is awfully decent
of you too let me go Dad
97
00:07:05,171 --> 00:07:06,821
Your mother was rather against it but
98
00:07:06,923 --> 00:07:08,392
I managed to talk her into it
99
00:07:08,392 --> 00:07:09,822
Thanks Dad,you're a sport
100
00:07:10,245 --> 00:07:11,633
You will behave when you are away
101
00:07:11,633 --> 00:07:12,787
Of course I will
102
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:14,515
I don't want to play the heavy father
103
00:07:14,586 --> 00:07:16,982
but this is the first time you've
been abroad on your own
104
00:07:17,033 --> 00:07:18,428
and I wouldn't like you to get into a mess
105
00:07:18,515 --> 00:07:19,326
Don't worry I won't
106
00:07:19,338 --> 00:07:20,104
That's right
107
00:07:20,416 --> 00:07:23,831
Look Nickie when I was at your age
my father gave me three bits of advice
108
00:07:23,831 --> 00:07:26,186
And I've lived up to them ever
since and I hope you will
109
00:07:26,226 --> 00:07:29,355
The first is gambling,don't gamble,whatever
anybody else say you would do
110
00:07:29,958 --> 00:07:33,241
The second is money,don't lend
money not in any circumstances
111
00:07:33,856 --> 00:07:36,500
And the third is women,don't have
anything to do with women
112
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:39,436
now if you lay off these few things
you won't go far wrong
113
00:07:39,436 --> 00:07:41,139
so be a good boy and try to remember
114
00:07:41,139 --> 00:07:43,340
-No,dad,I won't forget,I promise
-That's right
115
00:07:45,204 --> 00:07:47,036
-Give them a run for their money
-I'll try
116
00:07:48,019 --> 00:07:49,485
-Good Bye ,Dad
-Good Bye,boy
117
00:07:49,889 --> 00:07:52,068
The boy didn't not disgrace himself
in the tournament
118
00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:53,885
He did very well according to the papers
119
00:07:53,949 --> 00:07:55,983
Yes,of course he didn't beat
the top class men
120
00:07:55,983 --> 00:07:59,996
he got in the semi final in the double,he
ran the Australian number two to three sets
121
00:07:59,996 --> 00:08:03,272
oh no,not bad at all,I couldn't
wished him to do better
122
00:08:03,989 --> 00:08:06,737
It was after the tournament
that the trouble began
123
00:08:07,128 --> 00:08:09,095
There was an official dinner
for the players
124
00:08:09,095 --> 00:08:11,523
and after that they all
went to the sporting club
125
00:08:14,952 --> 00:08:15,975
Les jeux sont faites
126
00:08:20,563 --> 00:08:21,435
Rien va plus
127
00:08:28,029 --> 00:08:30,692
25 rouge
128
00:08:35,116 --> 00:08:36,836
Monsieurs,dames faites vos jeux
129
00:08:37,546 --> 00:08:40,819
-Hello
-Hello
130
00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:47,433
Les jeux son faites
131
00:08:51,942 --> 00:08:53,984
-31
-31,bien,Madame
132
00:08:54,399 --> 00:08:55,305
Rien va plus
133
00:09:03,521 --> 00:09:05,605
20,noire
134
00:09:06,654 --> 00:09:08,240
Watched you ,Nickey,doing any good
135
00:09:08,987 --> 00:09:09,931
I haven't been playing
136
00:09:10,022 --> 00:09:11,969
You'll have on little flutter before you go
137
00:09:12,511 --> 00:09:15,961
Yes,I suppose so,my father was not any
too keen of me coming here at all
138
00:09:15,961 --> 00:09:17,720
He particularly warned me against gambling
139
00:09:17,785 --> 00:09:19,379
Fear not gambling if you when to stop
140
00:09:19,385 --> 00:09:21,959
I had ago with 1000 francs
and lost and that's that
141
00:09:22,015 --> 00:09:24,977
You're crazy if you leave Monte
without trying your luck once
142
00:09:25,081 --> 00:09:27,430
Surely your father wouldn't mind
you losing 1000 francs
143
00:09:27,565 --> 00:09:29,014
It's only just over one quid
144
00:09:29,479 --> 00:09:31,090
I don't think he suppose he would
145
00:09:31,173 --> 00:09:32,659
After all I promised not to gamble
146
00:09:32,690 --> 00:09:34,286
I only promised not to forgive his advice
147
00:09:34,327 --> 00:09:36,183
Try number eleven I
didn't loss maybe it will win
148
00:09:36,183 --> 00:09:37,987
No I'll try 19
149
00:09:43,634 --> 00:09:45,245
-Excuse moi
-Sorry
150
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:54,473
Les jeux son faites
151
00:09:59,759 --> 00:10:00,802
Rien va plus
152
00:10:09,415 --> 00:10:12,188
19 rouge
153
00:10:12,277 --> 00:10:13,241
Its' yours Nickey
154
00:10:15,134 --> 00:10:16,510
Look at all the chips you won
155
00:10:18,622 --> 00:10:19,539
Les jeux son faites
156
00:10:23,168 --> 00:10:24,690
You’re like in it have another go
157
00:10:24,768 --> 00:10:27,234
No thanks I'm not to attempt
the providence a second time
158
00:10:28,555 --> 00:10:29,655
You won again young man
159
00:10:30,134 --> 00:10:32,121
-No,I haven't put anything on
-Yes you have..
160
00:10:32,178 --> 00:10:35,139
Your original stake they always leave
it on unless you ask for it back
161
00:10:35,139 --> 00:10:37,157
-Didn't you know that?
-No,how much is it?
162
00:10:37,694 --> 00:10:39,279
Another 35000 francs
163
00:10:39,294 --> 00:10:41,098
I see you've got enough to buy a motorbike
164
00:10:43,241 --> 00:10:44,070
And your stake
165
00:10:44,070 --> 00:10:45,066
Oh yes of course
166
00:10:46,135 --> 00:10:48,069
-You are in luck
-Yes I can hardly believe it..
167
00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:49,461
it's the first time I ever played
168
00:10:50,540 --> 00:10:51,828
That's explains it
169
00:10:51,828 --> 00:10:54,351
Would you like lend me 10000 francs
170
00:10:54,883 --> 00:10:57,318
I will bring it back to you in half an hour
171
00:10:57,318 --> 00:10:59,773
-All right
-Thank you so much
172
00:11:01,186 --> 00:11:02,500
You will never see that again
173
00:11:02,933 --> 00:11:05,091
No,don't suppose I shall,how silly of me
174
00:11:05,649 --> 00:11:08,120
My father particularly warned me
not to lend anybody money
175
00:11:08,647 --> 00:11:12,036
However I've still got 60000 francs left
and that's 60000 more than I expected
176
00:11:12,489 --> 00:11:13,704
Beginner's luck old boy
177
00:11:14,298 --> 00:11:15,508
Well,I'm for bed,coming?
178
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,657
No,I just take a walk around
I'll be along in a few minutes
179
00:11:21,941 --> 00:11:22,807
Les jeux sont faites
180
00:11:25,445 --> 00:11:26,430
Riens va plus
181
00:11:28,886 --> 00:11:29,975
20 noire
182
00:11:31,477 --> 00:11:34,198
95-100000 francs,Monsieur
183
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,909
Hello I've been looking for you everywhere
184
00:11:41,909 --> 00:11:42,717
Hello
185
00:11:42,717 --> 00:11:44,448
I was afraid you had gone
186
00:11:44,980 --> 00:11:48,431
Here's the 10000 francs and thank
you very much for lending it to me
187
00:11:49,568 --> 00:11:50,496
What's the matter?
188
00:11:51,028 --> 00:11:54,510
I'm so sorry to tell you the truth I did
not expect to see this money again
189
00:11:54,625 --> 00:11:56,142
What did you take me for?
190
00:11:56,627 --> 00:11:57,962
Did you think I was a thief?
191
00:11:58,233 --> 00:11:59,182
No,of course not
192
00:11:59,182 --> 00:12:01,955
Do I look like someone who would
cheat you of your money?
193
00:12:02,516 --> 00:12:03,449
No,not at this
194
00:12:03,449 --> 00:12:06,187
My husband is in the
administration in Morocco
195
00:12:06,187 --> 00:12:08,882
and I've come to Monte Carlo
for a few weeks
196
00:12:08,882 --> 00:12:11,030
because he thought I needed a change
197
00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:13,574
It was awfully good of you
come chasing out of me like that
198
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:15,415
You shouldn't have bothered
really I was just going
199
00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:16,030
Already?
200
00:12:16,087 --> 00:12:18,397
Yes I have to catch a plane by home
by seven o'clock in the morning
201
00:12:18,397 --> 00:12:21,556
Oh,yes of course the tournament
ended today,didn't it?
202
00:12:22,343 --> 00:12:24,147
I saw you play two or three times
203
00:12:24,147 --> 00:12:24,987
Did you?
204
00:12:26,326 --> 00:12:27,792
I do not know why you noticed me
205
00:12:28,193 --> 00:12:29,846
You have a beautiful style
206
00:12:30,565 --> 00:12:32,103
and you look so sweet in your shorts
207
00:12:32,103 --> 00:12:32,838
Thank you
208
00:12:32,838 --> 00:12:35,966
-Do you know La petite Maison?
-No,I can't say that I do
209
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:38,354
But you mustn't leave Monte
without going there
210
00:12:38,896 --> 00:12:43,119
Why not come and dance a little,I'm so
hungry,I should adore some bacon and eggs
211
00:12:43,187 --> 00:12:44,944
Then you shall have some bacon and eggs
212
00:14:13,408 --> 00:14:14,659
Would you like some champagne?
213
00:14:15,378 --> 00:14:17,333
-I would adore champagne
-Champagne?
214
00:14:17,657 --> 00:14:20,800
You shouldn't,Nickie,you shouldn't
waste your money on me
215
00:14:20,915 --> 00:14:22,418
I'm like a millionaire tonight
216
00:14:22,438 --> 00:14:24,065
How much did you win?
217
00:14:24,675 --> 00:14:25,301
Quite a bit
218
00:14:25,358 --> 00:14:28,721
Must have been thrilling seeing
your number keep on winning
219
00:14:28,924 --> 00:14:31,187
There wasn't the same number
no not all the times
220
00:14:31,187 --> 00:14:32,886
-I started with 19
-Why 19?
221
00:14:33,856 --> 00:14:35,295
Because that's my age
222
00:14:35,358 --> 00:14:38,209
But after it won twice I couldn't
reasonably expect it to win again
223
00:14:38,298 --> 00:14:41,953
So I switched to 16,that's
my oldest sister's age
224
00:14:41,953 --> 00:14:44,033
that wasn't any good,then I tried 12
225
00:14:44,069 --> 00:14:46,744
that's my youngest sister's age
that was not any good either
226
00:14:47,245 --> 00:14:49,284
The I simply shut my eyes
and tried anything
227
00:14:49,738 --> 00:14:51,369
-It was 20
-My age
228
00:14:51,369 --> 00:14:52,245
Is it?
229
00:14:52,944 --> 00:14:55,102
Well,it was lucky won everything
back and some more
230
00:14:55,624 --> 00:14:58,830
Then I had my ups and downs in the
end my pockets was bulging with chips
231
00:14:59,258 --> 00:15:02,182
I was amazed by that chap started
counting others 5000 francs notes
232
00:15:02,182 --> 00:15:04,367
-How many?
-20
233
00:15:04,930 --> 00:15:06,400
Hundred thousands francs
234
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,604
Isn't it marvelous
235
00:15:07,604 --> 00:15:09,846
Enough to by a motorbike with,
would what do you want?
236
00:15:11,442 --> 00:15:13,058
Here is to Nickie on his motorbike
237
00:15:13,715 --> 00:15:14,533
Cheers
238
00:15:16,905 --> 00:15:20,080
The funny thing is my father didn't want
me to come to Monte Carlo at all
239
00:15:20,737 --> 00:15:21,681
But why not?
240
00:15:21,681 --> 00:15:23,949
He thought I was too young and innocent
241
00:15:25,393 --> 00:15:27,661
But here is the joke,he gave me
three bits of advice
242
00:15:28,354 --> 00:15:31,383
He said,don't gamble but I did
and I won 100000 francs
243
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,811
He said don't lend anybody any money and
I did quite a lot to a complete stranger
244
00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:39,292
You came hunting for me to pay it back
245
00:15:41,112 --> 00:15:42,035
Poor old Dad
246
00:15:42,259 --> 00:15:45,465
He's not a bad sort,really,he means well
247
00:15:45,465 --> 00:15:48,124
his stances a bit early
Victorian that's all
248
00:15:48,729 --> 00:15:50,512
What was the third bit of advice?
249
00:15:52,227 --> 00:15:55,986
He said don't have anything
to do with women
250
00:15:56,586 --> 00:15:59,604
He was right about that Nickie,so right
251
00:15:59,604 --> 00:16:02,514
Monte Carlo is the worst place in the world
252
00:16:02,514 --> 00:16:05,699
for the kind of women your father meant
253
00:16:06,351 --> 00:16:11,116
Adventuresses,they are everywhere,
even here in this room
254
00:16:12,185 --> 00:16:16,126
And yet if you are sensible
you can recognize them
255
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:19,843
And if you can recognize them,you are safe
256
00:16:20,349 --> 00:16:22,127
Because you can avoid them
257
00:16:23,754 --> 00:16:25,688
So be careful about that,Nickie
258
00:16:25,688 --> 00:16:29,958
not only because of your father,
but for your own sake
259
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:33,190
Shall we dance?
260
00:17:02,740 --> 00:17:04,075
You dance beautifully
261
00:17:04,508 --> 00:17:07,073
I don't really,you are just
so easy to dance with
262
00:17:07,829 --> 00:17:11,807
Have you ever been turned?
You are very good looking
263
00:17:13,095 --> 00:17:14,393
No.I don't think I have
264
00:17:14,841 --> 00:17:16,040
But you are,you know
265
00:17:20,904 --> 00:17:22,395
Now it's time for us to go
266
00:17:26,165 --> 00:17:28,209
It's sweet of you having been so nice to me
267
00:17:28,683 --> 00:17:31,509
I shall write and tell my husband
it will make him jealous
268
00:17:31,889 --> 00:17:33,777
It was nice of you to come,I've loved it
269
00:17:34,006 --> 00:17:35,226
What time do you go tomorrow?
270
00:17:35,654 --> 00:17:37,530
My plane leaves at 7 am.I shall be up at 6
271
00:17:38,693 --> 00:17:41,128
In three hour's time.Where are you staying?
272
00:17:41,128 --> 00:17:43,062
A quiet little place 40 Rue de Lyon
273
00:17:43,062 --> 00:17:44,402
40 Rue de Lyon
274
00:17:45,293 --> 00:17:47,129
Good Night and thanks awfully
275
00:17:47,129 --> 00:17:48,724
It you would like you can drop me
276
00:17:48,724 --> 00:17:50,470
-and take you on
-Fine
277
00:17:59,339 --> 00:18:02,811
Tomorrow you'll be gone,and
I shall be alone again
278
00:18:03,541 --> 00:18:05,324
Maybe I'll manage another trip
279
00:18:05,324 --> 00:18:06,784
I'd love to come again
280
00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:08,332
I shall not be here
281
00:18:09,015 --> 00:18:11,069
I return to my home in Morocco next week
282
00:18:12,430 --> 00:18:15,297
We shall never meet again Nickie
283
00:18:16,971 --> 00:18:20,876
Unless perhaps I can persuade my
husband to take me to England one day
284
00:18:21,084 --> 00:18:23,978
the tennis at Wimbledon
then we shall see you play
285
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,032
I am not near Wimbledon yet
286
00:18:26,220 --> 00:18:28,983
But you are Nickie,they
were all saying so today
287
00:18:29,374 --> 00:18:32,778
Everyone sitting near me
said how well you played
288
00:18:33,274 --> 00:18:36,490
That's awfully kind of you
but it's not quite true
289
00:18:43,539 --> 00:18:46,068
It's over Nickie so quickly
290
00:18:46,068 --> 00:18:47,496
Well Yes
291
00:18:48,372 --> 00:18:50,306
I'll just pay him off I'll walk from here
292
00:18:54,456 --> 00:18:57,339
The air will do me good.How far
is the hotel Faunon?
293
00:18:58,283 --> 00:19:00,342
Faunon? Are you staying there?
294
00:19:00,342 --> 00:19:01,797
Well,there is all the English team
295
00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,616
But Nickie it is nearly half past three
296
00:19:03,945 --> 00:19:04,982
But I can get in
297
00:19:05,076 --> 00:19:08,429
But the Faunon is the sleepiest
old hotel in Monte Carlo
298
00:19:08,429 --> 00:19:10,926
Although the english colonels
and the wise stay there
299
00:19:10,978 --> 00:19:12,198
Don't tell me,I've seen them
300
00:19:12,771 --> 00:19:14,852
At 12 o'clock locked up
and everyone is in bed
301
00:19:14,982 --> 00:19:17,714
You will have to ring and knock
until you wake up the whole hotel
302
00:19:18,798 --> 00:19:20,107
I'll just have to that's all
303
00:19:20,962 --> 00:19:24,810
I know a way Nickie,in the sitting room
on my sleep there is a couch
304
00:19:25,211 --> 00:19:29,043
You could sleep there,and go back
to your hotel at 6 o'clock when it's open
305
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,118
I couldn't really
306
00:19:31,118 --> 00:19:35,341
You can it's a leap from the
doorstep for the the hall
307
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,839
Come along Nickie
308
00:19:51,706 --> 00:19:52,942
In here
309
00:20:11,685 --> 00:20:13,410
Don't worry about making up a bed
310
00:20:14,067 --> 00:20:15,235
A blanket would do
311
00:20:17,284 --> 00:20:19,776
Very well then
312
00:20:34,624 --> 00:20:36,042
Now you would like a night cap
313
00:20:37,872 --> 00:20:41,986
No thanks I'll turn in if you don't mind
314
00:20:42,987 --> 00:20:45,218
Are you sure you have everything you wanted
315
00:20:46,490 --> 00:20:47,371
Yes thanks
316
00:20:48,550 --> 00:20:49,535
Quite sure
317
00:20:51,579 --> 00:20:55,078
-Then Good Night Nickie
-Good Night,Jeanne
318
00:23:20,077 --> 00:23:21,115
Nickie
319
00:23:23,278 --> 00:23:24,253
Is that you Jeanne?
320
00:23:24,253 --> 00:23:27,897
Wake up,sleepy,it is past six,your
plane leaves at seven you said
321
00:23:27,897 --> 00:23:30,468
Good Lord,gone six? Excuse
me I'll have to rush
322
00:23:30,567 --> 00:23:31,682
I'll make you some coffee
323
00:23:31,719 --> 00:23:33,914
That's awfully sweet of you
but please don't bother
324
00:23:34,540 --> 00:23:37,595
Oh,it's a little thing in return
for the lovely evening
325
00:23:38,049 --> 00:23:39,321
No.I really haven't got time
326
00:23:40,411 --> 00:23:41,845
Did you sleep well?
327
00:23:42,324 --> 00:23:43,935
Like a log,I would have slept to nine
328
00:23:43,935 --> 00:23:45,828
and missed my plane if
you had not called me
329
00:23:45,864 --> 00:23:47,762
How long does it take
me to get to my hotel?
330
00:23:47,819 --> 00:23:50,431
You'll not get a taxi at this hour,
you can walk in 10 minutes
331
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,220
-But you must hurry
-I say I must
332
00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:54,373
But I got to get my things
back and the bill paid
333
00:24:03,789 --> 00:24:06,865
Good Lord,my precious note case
all those lovely bank notes
334
00:24:07,433 --> 00:24:08,481
Mustn't lose them
335
00:24:09,263 --> 00:24:13,684
You silly boy as if I would
not have sent it to you
336
00:24:13,694 --> 00:24:15,441
It's a pity I have to rush off like this
337
00:24:15,592 --> 00:24:17,604
I say thanks awful for
letting me have the room
338
00:24:18,663 --> 00:24:22,109
Nickie,I will not forget that
lovely evening you gave me
339
00:24:22,656 --> 00:24:26,327
You are a sweet little boy
and a wonderful presence
340
00:24:26,327 --> 00:24:28,647
Kiss me,before you go
341
00:24:33,349 --> 00:24:35,258
Bon voyage,Mon Cheri
342
00:24:37,030 --> 00:24:37,969
Good Luck
343
00:24:49,391 --> 00:24:51,237
She took me in first time I saw her
344
00:24:51,487 --> 00:24:55,074
Of course I knew she was a gambler but
she was decently dressed and not made up
345
00:24:55,074 --> 00:24:56,628
I didn't she think she was that sort
346
00:24:56,716 --> 00:24:57,858
She took me into it first
347
00:24:57,926 --> 00:25:00,345
I bet she does that every night
with some mug or another
348
00:25:00,345 --> 00:25:02,013
She didn't get a mug last night anyway
349
00:25:02,384 --> 00:25:03,223
How much was it?
350
00:25:03,223 --> 00:25:04,073
100000 francs
351
00:25:04,902 --> 00:25:06,554
I say it,about hundred pounds
352
00:25:06,627 --> 00:25:08,077
Yes enough to buy a motorbike with
353
00:25:08,301 --> 00:25:09,354
-Is it all there?
-Must be
354
00:25:09,391 --> 00:25:12,060
She might have taken some for safety
and put it somewhere else
355
00:25:13,426 --> 00:25:14,583
Don't think she had time
356
00:25:19,901 --> 00:25:20,699
25000
357
00:25:23,556 --> 00:25:24,166
50000
358
00:25:26,590 --> 00:25:27,367
75000
359
00:25:29,807 --> 00:25:32,471
Hundred,there is more than 100000 here
360
00:25:34,921 --> 00:25:35,750
125000
361
00:25:40,771 --> 00:25:41,756
Blow me down
362
00:25:42,387 --> 00:25:43,185
You know what?
363
00:25:43,842 --> 00:25:46,443
That flower pot was her money
box you got all her loot as well
364
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:47,794
Damn nearly to buy a car
365
00:25:53,028 --> 00:25:56,156
What infuriated me was that the boy
was so damned pleased with himself
366
00:25:56,740 --> 00:25:58,904
He looked at me with those
great big innocent eyes
367
00:25:59,456 --> 00:26:02,511
You know father I think it is something
wrong with that advice of yours
368
00:26:03,565 --> 00:26:06,734
It's all very well for you to laugh but
that boy respected me he looked up to me
369
00:26:06,734 --> 00:26:08,585
took everything I said as the Gospel truth
370
00:26:09,065 --> 00:26:11,208
now he looks at me as I
was a dribbling old fool
371
00:26:11,609 --> 00:26:14,336
You do look a bit of a damned fool,old man
372
00:26:14,461 --> 00:26:15,874
There is no denying it is there?
373
00:26:15,874 --> 00:26:18,179
He doesn't realize it was a fluke
374
00:26:18,831 --> 00:26:21,379
He thinks it's his own
cleverness,might ruin him
375
00:26:21,379 --> 00:26:24,524
Now you are the men of the world,
what am I going to do?
376
00:26:25,117 --> 00:26:28,130
If you take my advice,you have
another drink and forget it all about it
377
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,543
In my opinion the boy is born lucky,
378
00:26:30,543 --> 00:26:33,912
and in the long run that's better
then being born clever or rich
379
00:26:33,912 --> 00:26:35,679
He'll be all right,you mark my word
380
00:26:36,610 --> 00:26:39,789
If you don't mind me saying so the
mistake you made in the first place
381
00:26:39,789 --> 00:26:43,321
was to learn tennis,things like that
would never happen to a cricketer
382
00:26:47,858 --> 00:26:49,487
The alien corn
383
00:26:51,205 --> 00:26:54,958
The celebrations at Tilby's of
George Bland's twenty first birthday
384
00:26:54,958 --> 00:26:59,132
were conducted in accordance with
the usage of English county families
385
00:26:59,669 --> 00:27:02,013
There was a dance in marquees
on the lawn fornthe tenants
386
00:27:02,013 --> 00:27:05,334
and a dinner party and
a ball for the gentry
387
00:27:06,025 --> 00:27:10,139
Since I was not there,I only know
from hearsay what happened
388
00:27:10,139 --> 00:27:12,604
when the birthday celebrations were over
389
00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:15,846
-Hello,not in bed yet?
-No
390
00:27:17,190 --> 00:27:19,033
I just came in to say good night
391
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:21,874
Beautiful night too,isn't?
392
00:27:24,213 --> 00:27:26,041
I've never seen the place looking lovelier
393
00:27:27,807 --> 00:27:30,456
Seven generations from father to son
394
00:27:32,197 --> 00:27:34,271
-That's something,isn't?
-Yes
395
00:27:35,473 --> 00:27:37,797
We must have a talk about
your future one of these days
396
00:27:37,797 --> 00:27:39,053
Yes,I'd like to
397
00:27:39,607 --> 00:27:41,078
You know that you are a lucky devil
398
00:27:41,078 --> 00:27:45,239
Up in the your age I was not up
to any good even if I wanted to
399
00:27:46,242 --> 00:27:50,053
Your last year in Oxford the the
diplomatic corps if you like
400
00:27:50,771 --> 00:27:53,076
Or the House of Commons if you
never mind the politics
401
00:27:54,435 --> 00:27:57,732
Of course your mother would like to
see you in the Grenadier Guards,I know
402
00:27:58,038 --> 00:28:00,250
And your uncle would like you
in the City with him
403
00:28:00,250 --> 00:28:01,389
As a matter of fact father
404
00:28:01,478 --> 00:28:03,868
I've been thinking about
this pretty carefully recently
405
00:28:04,049 --> 00:28:06,291
and I, I finally made up my
mind what I want to be
406
00:28:06,662 --> 00:28:07,865
Oh,what's that
407
00:28:08,766 --> 00:28:10,361
A pianist
408
00:28:10,999 --> 00:28:12,807
-What
-I want to play the piano
409
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,094
Of course,you can play the
piano any time you like
410
00:28:16,826 --> 00:28:18,599
I was talking about your career
411
00:28:18,630 --> 00:28:19,850
That's what I meant
412
00:28:19,850 --> 00:28:21,681
I want to be a professional pianist
413
00:28:23,374 --> 00:28:25,253
I've loved it ever since I was a small boy
414
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:28,296
Sometimes I've giving it up,
something new came along
415
00:28:28,296 --> 00:28:29,943
but I always went back to it
416
00:28:30,334 --> 00:28:33,435
and even at Oxford I practiced
sometimes all through the night
417
00:28:34,823 --> 00:28:38,295
Now I know quite definitely that's
what I want to get my life to go on
418
00:28:39,798 --> 00:28:41,638
George,I don't think I quite understand
419
00:28:43,083 --> 00:28:45,455
I used to be fond of fishing
when I was a boy
420
00:28:46,164 --> 00:28:49,816
I didn't become a professional
fisherman,I didn't give my life to it
421
00:28:50,191 --> 00:28:52,430
Fishing and music aren't quite
the same thing,father
422
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:54,118
I mean music is an art
423
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:56,469
Fishing is an art too,if it comes to that
424
00:28:58,539 --> 00:29:00,542
How can you give your life to music?
425
00:29:01,554 --> 00:29:03,083
You can't play the piano all day
426
00:29:03,378 --> 00:29:04,864
It will drive everybody crazy
427
00:29:05,730 --> 00:29:08,538
If you love music as much as I do
you have to give your life to it
428
00:29:11,941 --> 00:29:12,612
Look George
429
00:29:12,612 --> 00:29:14,947
I shouldn't brought up something
about your future this time of night
430
00:29:14,947 --> 00:29:17,499
We are both too tired to think sensibly
431
00:29:17,499 --> 00:29:19,630
Listen,let's talk about it
in the morning,shall we?
432
00:29:19,630 --> 00:29:22,432
I'm awfully glad you did bring it up
because I want to talk about it
433
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:24,079
Being tired doesn't make ny difference
434
00:29:24,318 --> 00:29:27,753
No.Not now.Some other time.Tomorrow
435
00:29:29,247 --> 00:29:31,707
-Good night old chap
-Good night ,Father
436
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:38,859
Good night
437
00:29:48,088 --> 00:29:52,145
He can't have meant it seriously,
he must have been joking
438
00:29:52,722 --> 00:29:55,113
No.He wasn't joking,he was dead serious
439
00:29:55,424 --> 00:29:57,825
He wants to be a professional piano player
440
00:29:58,358 --> 00:30:00,253
Do you mean that he
wants to play in cinemas?
441
00:30:00,903 --> 00:30:03,209
They don't have pianos in cinemas,now Uncle
442
00:30:03,209 --> 00:30:04,781
The pictures talk
443
00:30:05,198 --> 00:30:06,863
Where on earth does he want to play
444
00:30:06,863 --> 00:30:08,852
I can't see what put the idea into his head
445
00:30:08,852 --> 00:30:11,129
He is always enjoyed playing the piano
446
00:30:11,129 --> 00:30:13,827
ever since he was old enough
to sit on the piano stool
447
00:30:13,827 --> 00:30:16,269
But he is not good enough
to win a farthing at it
448
00:30:16,660 --> 00:30:18,327
Of course if you refused to let him
449
00:30:18,327 --> 00:30:19,955
I don't see how I can,really
450
00:30:20,035 --> 00:30:22,235
After all the boy is 21 and he
is his own master
451
00:30:22,543 --> 00:30:24,366
Mind you I'm confused about other things
452
00:30:25,978 --> 00:30:27,928
-Good Morning everybody
-Good Morning,George
453
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,240
-Sorry I'm late mother
-Did you sleep well?
454
00:30:30,306 --> 00:30:31,405
Like a top,did you?
455
00:30:31,908 --> 00:30:34,062
Dreamt of blue rockets chasing me
456
00:30:34,422 --> 00:30:35,523
Too much champagne
457
00:30:36,058 --> 00:30:37,698
-George?
-Yes.Mother
458
00:30:37,779 --> 00:30:40,166
Your father has been telling
me this extraordinary story
459
00:30:40,166 --> 00:30:43,328
about you wanting to be
a professional pianist
460
00:30:44,472 --> 00:30:46,242
I can only hope he was joking
461
00:30:46,530 --> 00:30:47,899
No,Mother,I am afraid he wasn't
462
00:30:48,681 --> 00:30:49,901
I'm quite sincere about it
463
00:30:50,802 --> 00:30:52,757
I don't want to get back
to Oxford next term
464
00:30:53,394 --> 00:30:55,535
I want to go to Paris to study there
465
00:30:55,936 --> 00:30:58,814
Good Heavens,you've got a chance
of a cricket blue next year
466
00:30:59,170 --> 00:31:00,704
You might even play for the county
467
00:31:01,149 --> 00:31:02,677
Yes I declined,I'm sorry about that
468
00:31:03,199 --> 00:31:05,476
I'm fond of cricket but
my career comes first
469
00:31:07,260 --> 00:31:08,429
Look here,George
470
00:31:08,429 --> 00:31:10,286
You are the heir of a great estate
471
00:31:10,286 --> 00:31:12,560
One day you will succeed me here
472
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,285
with all the duties and responsibilities
473
00:31:14,285 --> 00:31:16,567
that our family has held in
two different generations
474
00:31:17,781 --> 00:31:21,007
Thousands youngsters at your age would
give their eyes to be in your position
475
00:31:21,007 --> 00:31:24,753
If you sit there and talk about
giving your life to the piano
476
00:31:25,665 --> 00:31:26,648
I'm sorry father
477
00:31:26,648 --> 00:31:30,549
You see if I wasn't terribly keen about
music I would be very contended here
478
00:31:31,333 --> 00:31:35,274
I love this house,I love the country,
I love the people
479
00:31:35,932 --> 00:31:39,126
but I'd never be happy,I couldn't be
happy without music,honestly
480
00:31:39,623 --> 00:31:41,548
I didn't expect you to take kindly to it
481
00:31:42,282 --> 00:31:44,704
Music isn't exactly a strong
point in our family
482
00:31:45,104 --> 00:31:46,419
It's got nothing to do with it.
483
00:31:46,419 --> 00:31:48,638
I should say just the same thing
if you wanted to an acrobat
484
00:31:48,641 --> 00:31:51,356
or a juggler or any damned poor
thing unworthy of your position
485
00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:53,648
I'd like to leave for Paris next week
486
00:31:53,779 --> 00:31:54,972
You won't
487
00:31:55,659 --> 00:31:57,366
I shall pay for this nonsense also
488
00:31:58,701 --> 00:32:02,670
No I don't expect you to pay for it,
why should you,if you disapprove of it
489
00:32:03,058 --> 00:32:04,227
How are you going to live?
490
00:32:04,825 --> 00:32:07,708
I've saved a bit of my fare
give English lessons for my keep
491
00:32:07,751 --> 00:32:09,309
I wonder how long that will get you
492
00:32:09,876 --> 00:32:10,985
Others can do it,I can
493
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:13,816
Now look George.Don't let it be hasty
494
00:32:14,543 --> 00:32:18,063
I came down here for your coming of age
with a nice solid present to offer you
495
00:32:18,735 --> 00:32:22,531
A junior partnership in the family
business 2000 £ a year and a flat in town
496
00:32:22,924 --> 00:32:23,956
No thank you,Uncle John
497
00:32:23,956 --> 00:32:26,031
My dear chap,in three years time
498
00:32:26,031 --> 00:32:28,867
you'll take my place as Conservative
Candidate for Barking
499
00:32:29,225 --> 00:32:32,032
A safe seat and you carry
on the family tradition
500
00:32:32,032 --> 00:32:33,929
Awfully good of you,Uncle but..
501
00:32:34,596 --> 00:32:35,908
I've quite made up my mind
502
00:32:36,877 --> 00:32:38,030
I want to be a pianist
503
00:32:41,796 --> 00:32:44,682
No Uncle.I think you went
about it at the wrong way
504
00:32:45,270 --> 00:32:47,480
So it's my fault,I'm to blame
505
00:32:47,867 --> 00:32:49,618
Would you mind if I suggested something?
506
00:32:49,717 --> 00:32:50,393
No,I won't
507
00:32:51,303 --> 00:32:53,218
George is stubborn, pigheaded
508
00:32:53,218 --> 00:32:55,924
The more you try to stop him,
the more he want to do it
509
00:32:56,048 --> 00:32:58,478
If you get in a flak now and
cut him off without a penny
510
00:32:58,478 --> 00:33:00,184
he'll starve rather than give in
511
00:33:00,621 --> 00:33:01,176
Well.What?
512
00:33:02,283 --> 00:33:05,061
Give him a fair chance make
him a small allowance
513
00:33:05,571 --> 00:33:07,388
Enough to live on and pay his fees in Paris
514
00:33:07,983 --> 00:33:10,879
Let him study there for
2 years on one condition
515
00:33:10,879 --> 00:33:13,467
At the end the 2 years he must come back
516
00:33:13,467 --> 00:33:16,987
and let some competent unprejudiced
person here him play
517
00:33:17,030 --> 00:33:18,094
What good would that do?
518
00:33:18,656 --> 00:33:19,952
Tell him if that person says
519
00:33:19,952 --> 00:33:23,178
" He shows real promise to
become a first class pianist"
520
00:33:23,585 --> 00:33:24,897
Then he can go ahead
521
00:33:24,897 --> 00:33:29,051
if not he most abide by the decision and
promise faithfully to give up all thoughts
522
00:33:29,051 --> 00:33:32,194
of making music his
profession,isn't that fair?
523
00:33:32,985 --> 00:33:34,099
What do you say Uncle?
524
00:33:34,435 --> 00:33:36,232
Remember he'll go whatever you say
525
00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:37,955
Well,what can I say?
526
00:33:38,662 --> 00:33:40,997
Look,if he agrees with the
terms you suggested
527
00:33:41,809 --> 00:33:45,239
All right,I'll give him 5 pounds a
week,pay his fees and his lodgings
528
00:33:45,627 --> 00:33:46,810
May I get him to agree
529
00:33:47,305 --> 00:33:48,408
What do you think,Dear
530
00:33:48,408 --> 00:33:50,215
I think Paula is right
531
00:33:50,215 --> 00:33:50,853
All right
532
00:33:51,677 --> 00:33:53,512
Hurry back and tell us what he says
533
00:33:55,697 --> 00:33:58,189
We'll be in the hall,come on John,
you've had quite enough
534
00:34:06,585 --> 00:34:07,925
George I want to talk to you
535
00:34:07,925 --> 00:34:09,302
No,but Paula I've made up my mind
536
00:34:09,302 --> 00:34:11,954
I know but I persuaded
your father to let you go
537
00:34:12,648 --> 00:34:13,541
You what?
538
00:34:13,897 --> 00:34:15,681
He agrees to you going
to Paris for 2 years
539
00:34:15,681 --> 00:34:17,687
and make you a small allowance
540
00:34:17,687 --> 00:34:19,931
but at the end of that time
you've got to give it up
541
00:34:19,961 --> 00:34:23,771
unless an expert says you got a good
chance of making a first class pianist
542
00:34:24,309 --> 00:34:26,194
-What do you say?
-I say yes,of course
543
00:34:26,275 --> 00:34:28,434
-You are very sure of yourself?
-I know I can do it
544
00:34:28,492 --> 00:34:29,656
I'll tell your father then
545
00:34:29,713 --> 00:34:31,024
Paula
546
00:34:31,484 --> 00:34:33,185
You've been absolutely wonderful
547
00:34:35,124 --> 00:34:35,785
Thanks
548
00:34:35,785 --> 00:34:37,084
It's that the best you can do?
549
00:34:37,699 --> 00:34:38,453
I'm sorry
550
00:34:38,453 --> 00:34:40,318
Tell me,silly, that you are not in the mood
551
00:34:40,756 --> 00:34:44,446
George,there is no room for anything
else in your life but music is it?
552
00:34:45,035 --> 00:34:48,056
-Well at the moment..
-All right you need not say why
553
00:34:49,361 --> 00:34:50,709
Paula I am terribly fond of you
554
00:34:51,490 --> 00:34:54,645
I am not fond of you,I happen to love you
555
00:34:55,919 --> 00:34:57,711
But I'll probably get over it
556
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,292
It's all right,you needn't say anything
he agrees to everything
557
00:35:20,894 --> 00:35:23,274
2 years in Paris then the
agreed judge to give a verdict
558
00:35:23,274 --> 00:35:25,853
But is it definite that he gives up
the piano if the verdict goes against him?
559
00:35:25,853 --> 00:35:27,009
-Yes
-Good
560
00:35:27,317 --> 00:35:29,520
-When does he start?
-Tomorrow morning
561
00:35:38,504 --> 00:35:41,078
Dite mois et Monsieur George
Bland habite ici?
562
00:35:41,377 --> 00:35:45,793
Monsieur George Bland? Au troisieme
au fond le corridor la port en face
563
00:35:45,793 --> 00:35:46,910
Merci
564
00:35:58,245 --> 00:36:02,344
-Hello George.How are you?
-Hello Paula,come on in
565
00:36:07,583 --> 00:36:10,241
-This is it
-You live alone here?
566
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,919
Yes,Madame Vours comes in twice
a week to help me clear up
567
00:36:13,571 --> 00:36:15,071
I get my own breakfast and lunch
568
00:36:15,393 --> 00:36:16,130
And you cook?
569
00:36:16,641 --> 00:36:18,751
No.Here you are.Sit down
570
00:36:18,751 --> 00:36:19,580
Thanks
571
00:36:19,761 --> 00:36:21,928
I just have bread and cheese
and beer for lunch
572
00:36:21,929 --> 00:36:24,242
I dine out with a couple of
fellows who live round here
573
00:36:24,926 --> 00:36:26,147
What are you doing over here?
574
00:36:26,235 --> 00:36:27,646
There is another month you know?
575
00:36:27,646 --> 00:36:29,336
I know I haven't come to drag you back
576
00:36:29,336 --> 00:36:32,323
I've to go to Rome and I promised your
mother to look you up on my way
577
00:36:32,338 --> 00:36:33,354
How is she?How's everybody?
578
00:36:33,354 --> 00:36:34,391
All right
579
00:36:34,918 --> 00:36:35,964
I'll miss you naturally
580
00:36:36,016 --> 00:36:38,897
I think they rather expected you
to turn up any month or so
581
00:36:39,626 --> 00:36:41,540
Good Lord,it is hard work but I love it
582
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:42,887
You've got a good teacher?
583
00:36:43,322 --> 00:36:45,319
Yes,he is a bit hard to
please but he is good
584
00:36:45,319 --> 00:36:48,015
Of course the trouble is that I only
get a couple of lesson a week,you see
585
00:36:48,079 --> 00:36:50,003
The rest of it all practice 10 hour a day
586
00:36:50,451 --> 00:36:51,434
Are you satisfied?
587
00:36:51,583 --> 00:36:52,411
I think so
588
00:36:53,135 --> 00:36:54,251
Aren't you playing for me?
589
00:36:56,702 --> 00:36:59,010
You know I'm a bit tired I'd
rather busy day today
590
00:36:59,010 --> 00:37:00,362
Please
591
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:07,737
Sorry that was no good
592
00:38:07,859 --> 00:38:10,065
I'm not in the mood.I play
for you in the morning
593
00:38:10,325 --> 00:38:11,543
It sounded all right to me
594
00:38:11,872 --> 00:38:13,496
No,I can play much better than that
595
00:38:14,977 --> 00:38:17,414
George,there was something
I wanted to tell you
596
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,911
It was agreed that someone that
someone should judge your playing
597
00:38:19,911 --> 00:38:21,193
when you come home next month
598
00:38:21,759 --> 00:38:23,659
Through a friend of mine I met Lea Makart
599
00:38:23,659 --> 00:38:26,300
and explained what happened
and she promised to come
600
00:38:27,346 --> 00:38:28,542
That's wonderful
601
00:38:28,681 --> 00:38:30,081
Will you accept her judgment?
602
00:38:31,055 --> 00:38:33,676
Of course,she is the finest
woman pianist in Europe
603
00:38:34,192 --> 00:38:34,841
She is terrific
604
00:38:35,437 --> 00:38:38,191
Of course I've never actually met
her but I go to all her concerts
605
00:38:40,668 --> 00:38:41,927
Do my father and mother agree?
606
00:38:42,388 --> 00:38:44,229
They think she is a bit too arty
607
00:38:44,229 --> 00:38:47,403
they are scared that she'll be
too much on your side but they agreed
608
00:38:49,091 --> 00:38:50,914
You'll explain that I am only a beginner
609
00:38:51,226 --> 00:38:52,868
I'll tell her everything
610
00:38:54,191 --> 00:38:57,297
I know I can do it,I can
feel it in my bones
611
00:38:57,843 --> 00:38:59,754
-George
-Yes
612
00:39:00,061 --> 00:39:01,559
I was just wondering what you'd do
613
00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:03,696
if you were not able to
carry on with your music
614
00:39:04,781 --> 00:39:06,428
I don't know,not even thought about it
615
00:39:07,220 --> 00:39:09,617
Might be a good idea to
have some other interests
616
00:39:09,617 --> 00:39:12,768
-Such as what?
-You'll never thought of falling in love
617
00:39:15,205 --> 00:39:17,480
Yes,but that will have to wait
618
00:39:17,564 --> 00:39:19,471
Don't let it wait too long
619
00:39:24,714 --> 00:39:27,514
-Hello
-Paula I'm so glad you come
620
00:39:27,624 --> 00:39:28,816
Is the great lady here yet?
621
00:39:28,816 --> 00:39:31,308
Not yet.George has driven
to the station to meet her
622
00:39:31,728 --> 00:39:33,478
-I didn't want him to
-Why not?
623
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,778
The boy can be very charming when
wants to be, too charming
624
00:39:37,374 --> 00:39:39,354
I'm so afraid he persuade
her he is a genius
625
00:39:39,354 --> 00:39:40,737
I think she will be fair
626
00:39:41,413 --> 00:39:43,697
I do hope she think he is no good
627
00:39:44,029 --> 00:39:45,763
It'll be such relief to all of us
628
00:39:46,263 --> 00:39:48,896
I'm afraid it will be a terrible
disappointment to him
629
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,329
Life's full of disappointments one
just learns to put up with them
630
00:39:53,890 --> 00:39:55,397
That sounds like the car now
631
00:39:57,131 --> 00:39:58,366
Come along
632
00:40:10,446 --> 00:40:11,353
Here is my mother now
633
00:40:12,483 --> 00:40:13,572
Mother this is Lea Markat
634
00:40:13,572 --> 00:40:15,384
-How do you do
-How do you do
635
00:40:15,384 --> 00:40:16,862
-Paula you know
-Yes,of course
636
00:40:16,862 --> 00:40:18,071
And this is my father
637
00:40:19,173 --> 00:40:20,635
-How do you do
-How do you do
638
00:40:20,635 --> 00:40:22,775
-It was good of you to come
-I was glad to
639
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:25,351
I'm always glad to have
those who wish to play
640
00:40:25,416 --> 00:40:26,784
You would find this a little odd
641
00:40:27,370 --> 00:40:28,205
Not at all
642
00:40:28,641 --> 00:40:30,171
You see this is the only fair way
643
00:40:30,745 --> 00:40:33,337
I mean if he is any good,
we can't stand in his way
644
00:40:34,213 --> 00:40:38,016
and if he is not it is better first
class plumber than a second class pianist
645
00:40:38,433 --> 00:40:39,720
Much better
646
00:40:40,962 --> 00:40:42,523
I was telling him in the car
647
00:40:42,523 --> 00:40:46,614
he must be prepared for at least
another 5-6 years study
648
00:40:46,614 --> 00:40:49,099
-But as much as that?
-Oh.Yes
649
00:40:49,262 --> 00:40:52,406
Madame Makart suggest I go to
Rome to study under her master
650
00:40:52,459 --> 00:40:54,610
That's provided that you are
good enough of course
651
00:40:55,340 --> 00:40:56,760
Would you like some tea Madame?
652
00:40:57,345 --> 00:41:00,992
-No thank you.Not one of my bad habits
-A little drink perhaps
653
00:41:00,992 --> 00:41:05,164
No I've concert tonight,so I cannot
stay as long as I should wish
654
00:41:05,164 --> 00:41:06,685
Then we better go in at once
655
00:41:13,404 --> 00:41:14,649
Where would you like to sit
656
00:41:16,523 --> 00:41:18,442
-May I sit here?
-Please do
657
00:41:22,529 --> 00:41:24,184
Well now,you are ready
658
00:42:21,832 --> 00:42:24,013
-Yes of course
-Sure you can do it?
659
00:42:24,013 --> 00:42:26,145
-I know I can
-Then I'll tell your father
660
00:42:26,145 --> 00:42:29,614
Paula,you've been absolutely wonderful
661
00:42:32,115 --> 00:42:33,483
That the best you can do?
662
00:42:34,147 --> 00:42:36,365
Tell me I know that you are not in mood
663
00:42:37,229 --> 00:42:38,542
I know that it was not good,
664
00:42:38,542 --> 00:42:41,046
I'm not in the mood,I'll play
for you in the morning
665
00:42:41,449 --> 00:42:42,514
Sounded all right to me
666
00:42:43,190 --> 00:42:44,748
No,I can play much better than that
667
00:42:46,422 --> 00:42:48,418
-George
-Yes
668
00:42:48,786 --> 00:42:52,396
I was just wondering what you'll do if you
weren't able to carry on with your music
669
00:42:53,171 --> 00:42:55,103
I don't know,never even thought about it
670
00:42:55,103 --> 00:42:58,125
Might be a good idea to
have some other interests
671
00:42:58,205 --> 00:43:01,364
-Such as what
-Never thought of falling in love
672
00:43:03,579 --> 00:43:08,572
-Yes That'll have to wait
-Don't let it wait too long
673
00:44:10,267 --> 00:44:12,427
What exactly is it you wish me to tell you
674
00:44:15,001 --> 00:44:19,841
Has I any chance to becoming,
in time,a pianist of the first rank?
675
00:44:22,288 --> 00:44:24,333
Not in a thousand years
676
00:44:28,818 --> 00:44:31,638
Of course I can see that you
worked very hard
677
00:44:31,638 --> 00:44:39,296
and you have acquired technique
and brilliance but you lack magic
678
00:44:40,352 --> 00:44:43,449
The quality that is a combination
of soul and fire
679
00:44:43,449 --> 00:44:47,039
without which no artist
can reach the heights
680
00:44:48,427 --> 00:44:52,595
I'm sorry but your playing is square
681
00:44:54,460 --> 00:44:56,782
If I thought you have in
you the makings of an artist
682
00:44:56,782 --> 00:45:00,516
I shouldn't hesitate to beseech
you to give up everything for art's sake
683
00:45:02,077 --> 00:45:04,124
Art is the only thing that matters
684
00:45:05,581 --> 00:45:13,527
In comparison with art,wealth,
rank,power aren't worth that
685
00:45:14,816 --> 00:45:16,632
But don't think your work has been wasted
686
00:45:17,561 --> 00:45:19,857
It will always be a pleasure
to play the piano
687
00:45:20,563 --> 00:45:22,994
and it will enable you to appreciate great
playing
688
00:45:22,994 --> 00:45:26,235
as no ordinary person can hope to do
689
00:45:27,136 --> 00:45:33,104
I don't think that you can ever hope to be
anything more than a very competent amateur
690
00:45:34,403 --> 00:45:36,514
and I don't need to tell you
691
00:45:36,514 --> 00:45:42,006
that in art the difference between an
amateur and a professional is measurable
692
00:45:43,135 --> 00:45:46,909
But don't take my opinion alone
after all I'm not infallible
693
00:45:47,340 --> 00:45:48,464
Ask someone else
694
00:45:49,111 --> 00:45:53,109
That won't be necessary,I am quite
content to accept your verdict
695
00:45:53,976 --> 00:45:56,124
It was very good of you to
come down to judge me
696
00:45:56,124 --> 00:45:58,007
Especially one who is so busy
697
00:45:59,810 --> 00:46:02,142
Would you do one more thing
for me before you go?
698
00:46:02,676 --> 00:46:03,490
What is it?
699
00:46:06,115 --> 00:46:07,477
Would you play to me?
700
00:49:16,281 --> 00:49:19,981
-Thank you Madame
-I'm afraid I must go now
701
00:49:19,981 --> 00:49:22,064
That was a very great pleasure
702
00:49:22,064 --> 00:49:23,894
Yes,please
703
00:50:30,522 --> 00:50:31,309
Come in
704
00:50:33,101 --> 00:50:34,087
Hello
705
00:50:35,180 --> 00:50:36,018
George
706
00:50:36,102 --> 00:50:38,786
It's all right,don't get any ideas
into your head I'm cleaning
707
00:50:39,035 --> 00:50:42,476
So I got to become a country gentleman,
I might as well get some practice in it
708
00:50:43,131 --> 00:50:45,553
The others have gone over
to the cricket,won't you come?
709
00:50:46,782 --> 00:50:48,242
No.I don't think I will,thank you
710
00:50:49,370 --> 00:50:51,596
We shouldn't be indoors
on a lovely day like this
711
00:50:53,060 --> 00:50:55,191
No,I know I will go out
for a stroll later on
712
00:50:55,635 --> 00:50:57,000
Shall I wait and come with you?
713
00:50:58,925 --> 00:51:03,004
-No I..
-All right,darling,I know how you feel
714
00:51:06,856 --> 00:51:12,125
George.Remember what we were saying
in Paris about having some other interests
715
00:51:12,409 --> 00:51:13,262
Yes
716
00:51:16,199 --> 00:51:17,734
Don't let it wait too long
717
00:51:20,128 --> 00:51:20,956
I won't
718
00:51:45,884 --> 00:51:47,819
As I told you at the opening of this
inquiry
719
00:51:47,819 --> 00:51:50,679
a majority verdict is sufficient from you
720
00:51:51,076 --> 00:51:52,436
Now you've heard all evidence,
721
00:51:52,436 --> 00:51:55,362
if you wish to retire to consider
your verdict you may do so
722
00:52:00,620 --> 00:52:02,407
There will be no need to retire .Sir
723
00:52:03,117 --> 00:52:06,744
We had a talk during the recess,
and we're agreed,unanimous
724
00:52:08,009 --> 00:52:12,157
We are in the opinion ,Sir,that the
young gentleman shoot himself accidental
725
00:52:12,902 --> 00:52:15,086
He must be cleaning his gun not knowing
726
00:52:15,086 --> 00:52:18,231
he left it loaded from the
end of last season
727
00:52:19,390 --> 00:52:23,256
As that business about the music,Sir,we
don't attach much importance to that
728
00:52:24,044 --> 00:52:26,917
A young gentleman of Master
George's position,Sir,
729
00:52:26,917 --> 00:52:31,278
would never go and shoot himself just
because he did not play the piano good
730
00:52:32,212 --> 00:52:33,667
Thank You
731
00:52:36,538 --> 00:52:37,105
The Kite
732
00:52:39,746 --> 00:52:43,403
I know this is an odd story.
I don't understand it myself
733
00:52:43,403 --> 00:52:47,522
and if I set it down in black and white
,it is only with the faint hope
734
00:52:47,522 --> 00:52:51,115
that when I have written it,
I may get a clearer view of it
735
00:52:51,199 --> 00:52:54,415
or rather with the hope
some reader better acquainted
736
00:52:54,506 --> 00:53:00,157
with the complications of human nature
than I am may offer me an explanation
737
00:53:01,223 --> 00:53:04,093
It was told me one evening by
my friend Ned Preston
738
00:53:05,135 --> 00:53:09,267
Ned was a prison visitor,
he took his duty very seriously
739
00:53:09,267 --> 00:53:12,076
and made prisoner's troubles his own
740
00:53:16,034 --> 00:53:16,824
Come in
741
00:53:17,701 --> 00:53:18,803
Mr Preston,Sir
742
00:53:19,669 --> 00:53:21,193
-Oh,hello,Preston
-Hello
743
00:53:21,608 --> 00:53:24,328
-Didn't expect you until tomorrow.Sit down
-Thanks
744
00:53:24,792 --> 00:53:27,879
Here I am a day early,I got a conference
at the Home Office tomorrow
745
00:53:28,435 --> 00:53:29,447
Anything for me?
746
00:53:30,665 --> 00:53:33,814
Here are the new arrivals,and
Soames get out tomorrow
747
00:53:33,913 --> 00:53:35,300
Yes I will have a word with him
748
00:53:36,064 --> 00:53:37,882
I'll see these others too,anything else?
749
00:53:38,522 --> 00:53:42,912
Yes I'd like you to see number
142 name of Sunbury
750
00:53:42,912 --> 00:53:43,872
What is in for?
751
00:53:45,433 --> 00:53:47,321
It's a queer case
752
00:53:47,321 --> 00:53:50,381
I'd rather you saw him first,
see what you nail him
753
00:53:51,842 --> 00:53:53,998
142 Sunbury
754
00:53:56,305 --> 00:53:58,813
142 Sunbury.Visit him,Sir
755
00:54:01,977 --> 00:54:03,770
-Good Afternoon
-Good Afternoon
756
00:54:03,848 --> 00:54:06,400
My name is Preston,I am one what
they call a prison visitor
757
00:54:06,877 --> 00:54:08,828
Oh,yes.Won't you sit down?
758
00:54:09,716 --> 00:54:10,784
Thank you
759
00:54:12,875 --> 00:54:15,487
I'm sorry I can't offer you
a fag or a glass of beer
760
00:54:15,487 --> 00:54:16,355
That's all right
761
00:54:16,355 --> 00:54:19,331
-Lovely day it has been
-Yes,it has been very nice
762
00:54:19,466 --> 00:54:22,110
Just the right sort of wind.
Steady northwest
763
00:54:22,552 --> 00:54:25,599
Gusty enough to make you watch even
not strong enough to tears thing up
764
00:54:26,554 --> 00:54:27,539
Tear what up?
765
00:54:28,736 --> 00:54:31,520
Nothing.What can I do for you ,Mr?
766
00:54:31,608 --> 00:54:34,725
That's what can I do for you Sunbury,
that's why I've come to see you about
767
00:54:34,781 --> 00:54:38,423
As I understand it you left your young
wife and you refused to provide for her
768
00:54:38,423 --> 00:54:39,369
That's right
769
00:54:39,643 --> 00:54:40,873
But you can't let us down
770
00:54:40,873 --> 00:54:41,793
Why not?
771
00:54:42,046 --> 00:54:45,375
Why not? Good Heavens,what's
she had done to deserve that
772
00:54:46,421 --> 00:54:50,007
She has done something I
never forget to my dying day
773
00:54:50,007 --> 00:54:51,132
What was that?
774
00:54:52,546 --> 00:54:53,904
She smashed my kite
775
00:54:54,491 --> 00:54:55,268
She what?
776
00:54:55,975 --> 00:54:57,341
She smashed my kite
777
00:55:01,339 --> 00:55:03,538
That's seemed to be a clear
thing for the boy to say
778
00:55:03,598 --> 00:55:06,299
So I said "What's she ever do to harm you?"
779
00:55:06,332 --> 00:55:08,662
And he said "She smashed my kite"
780
00:55:09,473 --> 00:55:12,007
-That's right
-You knew about it?
781
00:55:12,535 --> 00:55:13,967
Yes.He told me the same thing..
782
00:55:13,967 --> 00:55:18,768
..said he'd been interested in kites
ever since he was a kid at 7 or 8
783
00:55:19,236 --> 00:55:23,160
And his parents took him for a walk
on the common one Saturday afternoon
784
00:55:24,286 --> 00:55:28,795
There were plenty of kites at that day
more than he'd ever seen one time before
785
00:55:29,145 --> 00:55:30,602
And they fascinated Herbert
786
00:55:31,001 --> 00:55:35,875
According to Mr Sunbury a new kite flying
club had just been started around there
787
00:55:35,875 --> 00:55:39,280
and was becoming very popular
with the locals
788
00:55:39,602 --> 00:55:41,933
And the more he watched,
the more Herbert was certain
789
00:55:41,933 --> 00:55:45,439
nothing would give him greater pleasure
in this world than a kite of his own
790
00:55:46,362 --> 00:55:48,870
So he broached his mother on
the delicate subject
791
00:55:49,603 --> 00:55:53,793
And was told that he was a good boy and
brushed his teeth regularly every morning
792
00:55:54,438 --> 00:55:56,721
He might get a surprise at Christmas
793
00:55:58,501 --> 00:56:02,669
The thrill of that first kite was
something Herbert never quite forgot
794
00:56:04,455 --> 00:56:06,439
He couldn't get out the flight fast enough
795
00:56:09,315 --> 00:56:13,886
You know how it is,some kids collect
butterflies or postage stamps
796
00:56:14,419 --> 00:56:17,460
some are mad about fretwork,
Sunbury flew kites
797
00:56:18,218 --> 00:56:20,067
In fact became a sort of fashion with him
798
00:56:20,888 --> 00:56:22,344
and his parents
799
00:56:27,624 --> 00:56:29,896
Herbert,aren't you going to have your tea?
800
00:56:32,701 --> 00:56:34,224
Yes.Sorry Mum
801
00:56:34,687 --> 00:56:37,134
-What's your doing?
-I'm designing a new kite
802
00:56:37,227 --> 00:56:38,445
Designing one?
803
00:56:38,941 --> 00:56:42,488
Sure,I reckon if we could
build a kite like this
804
00:56:43,166 --> 00:56:47,008
Only about six feet long,we could lick
anything else on the common
805
00:56:47,530 --> 00:56:49,589
-It's a queer shape isn't?
-That's the idea
806
00:56:49,589 --> 00:56:53,161
so it will take the wind,
here and here,you see
807
00:56:53,161 --> 00:56:54,722
Why don't you make it Herbert?
808
00:56:55,678 --> 00:56:58,167
-It would cost a bit
-How much?
809
00:56:58,167 --> 00:57:00,995
About 5£ even if we built it ourselves
810
00:57:02,056 --> 00:57:03,553
I don't mind bringing half
811
00:57:03,903 --> 00:57:05,470
Getting extravagant don't you?
812
00:57:05,470 --> 00:57:09,380
Not at all,if Herbert got a brilliant new
design,it's that worth to back him up
813
00:57:09,916 --> 00:57:11,034
I can manage 30 shillings
814
00:57:11,037 --> 00:57:13,609
You don't need to find anything,
you just do the work
815
00:57:13,609 --> 00:57:15,406
and your father and I will find the cash
816
00:57:15,572 --> 00:57:16,502
-You will?
-Beatrice
817
00:57:16,502 --> 00:57:18,593
It's all right I got a little put aside
818
00:57:18,804 --> 00:57:21,096
You get started on it right away
819
00:57:31,779 --> 00:57:34,071
-Tea is ready
-All right,Mum,just coming
820
00:57:34,566 --> 00:57:35,747
How is it going on?
821
00:57:35,747 --> 00:57:37,853
-Pretty well
-We just finished the first drawing..
822
00:57:37,853 --> 00:57:40,224
...and we will be able to start
construction next week
823
00:57:40,224 --> 00:57:42,075
You better come and have your tea now
824
00:57:42,075 --> 00:57:43,080
Right old Mum
825
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:46,296
Oh,Mum,I've asked a young lady
to tea tomorrow,is that all right?
826
00:57:46,307 --> 00:57:47,997
You've done what?
827
00:57:47,997 --> 00:57:49,426
I've asked a young lady to tea
828
00:57:49,449 --> 00:57:52,597
-Who is she?
-Her name is Baker,Betty Baker..
829
00:57:52,597 --> 00:57:54,990
..I met her at the pictures,
she was sitting next to me
830
00:57:54,990 --> 00:57:56,739
She dropped her bag and I picked it up
831
00:57:56,792 --> 00:57:59,423
She said "Thank you" so
naturally we got talking
832
00:57:59,423 --> 00:58:03,255
And you fell for an old trick like that,
dropped her bag indeed
833
00:58:03,255 --> 00:58:06,462
Oh,no you are mistaken,Mum,
she is a nice girl,really,she is
834
00:58:06,466 --> 00:58:08,139
When did all this happen?
835
00:58:08,531 --> 00:58:09,784
About three months ago
836
00:58:10,313 --> 00:58:12,889
You met her three months ago,
and asked her to tea tomorrow
837
00:58:12,889 --> 00:58:14,558
I've seen her since of course
838
00:58:14,558 --> 00:58:17,692
on that day I asked her if she'd
come to the pictures with me on Tuesdays
839
00:58:17,716 --> 00:58:19,711
and she said she didn't know,
perhaps she would,perhaps she wouldn't
840
00:58:19,806 --> 00:58:21,501
-She came all right
-Of course she did.
841
00:58:21,546 --> 00:58:23,042
..I've could have told you that
842
00:58:23,065 --> 00:58:26,356
Look,Mum,I don't want to force her on you,
if you don't want her to come to tea
843
00:58:26,436 --> 00:58:29,248
I can tell her you don't feel very
well and take her somewhere else
844
00:58:29,719 --> 00:58:32,382
You do as you please,
I've no patience with you
845
00:58:34,953 --> 00:58:36,114
What's the matter with her?
846
00:58:36,623 --> 00:58:38,754
She will be all right when she
gets used to the idea
847
00:58:39,013 --> 00:58:40,679
She doesn't like strangers,that's all
848
00:58:49,654 --> 00:58:52,067
My Dear,quite a spread
849
00:58:52,594 --> 00:58:55,123
I wasn't going to let her think
that we are just nobodies
850
00:58:58,650 --> 00:58:59,975
I wonder what she would be like
851
00:59:00,445 --> 00:59:01,390
Indeed you are
852
00:59:01,390 --> 00:59:04,271
I don't know,Herbert got his head
screwed on the right way
853
00:59:04,271 --> 00:59:06,105
No, he is just a child
854
00:59:06,105 --> 00:59:09,519
any designing cheek of a girl,
could trip him around the little finger
855
00:59:09,565 --> 00:59:10,701
We better wait and see
856
00:59:11,175 --> 00:59:14,205
We won't have to wait long,here they are
857
00:59:18,778 --> 00:59:20,870
Just a sec,let's see if I am all right
858
00:59:25,159 --> 00:59:26,707
-How do I look?
-Fine
859
00:59:31,663 --> 00:59:32,777
This is Betty Dad
860
00:59:33,082 --> 00:59:35,510
Pleased to meet you,Betty,come inside
861
00:59:43,363 --> 00:59:44,413
This is Betty,Mum
862
00:59:44,909 --> 00:59:48,087
-Miss Baker ,I presume?
-That's right.But you can call me Betty
863
00:59:48,087 --> 00:59:50,498
I think the acquaintance is
a little short for that.
864
00:59:50,498 --> 00:59:52,334
Won't you sit down,Miss Baker?
865
00:59:52,545 --> 00:59:55,737
Samuel,dear,will you ask Miss Baker if
she have have some bread and butter
866
00:59:55,737 --> 00:59:57,035
or a piece of cake
867
00:59:57,035 --> 01:00:00,401
Have both,Miss Baker,I like to
see people eat hearty
868
01:00:01,171 --> 01:00:02,243
Tea,Miss Baker?
869
01:00:02,300 --> 01:00:04,858
-Thank you
-Milk and sugar?
870
01:00:04,858 --> 01:00:05,718
Yes,please
871
01:00:05,718 --> 01:00:08,061
-Two lumps?
-Thank you
872
01:00:08,914 --> 01:00:09,742
Thank you,dear
873
01:00:12,798 --> 01:00:13,750
I am sorry
874
01:00:13,750 --> 01:00:16,560
It doesn't matter at all,
I'll give you another piece
875
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:18,999
Don't bother please,
I'm sure the floor is quite clean
876
01:00:19,374 --> 01:00:20,475
I should hope so.
877
01:00:20,475 --> 01:00:23,833
I wouldn't dream of letting you
have some cake that's been on the floor
878
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:26,394
I don't really want anymore.Really I don't.
879
01:00:26,394 --> 01:00:29,421
I am sorry you don't like my cake,
it takes all right to me
880
01:00:29,421 --> 01:00:32,249
It is not that,it is just..
that I am not hungry
881
01:00:32,249 --> 01:00:35,701
I never have a big tea,
I am down for a fag Bert
882
01:00:36,596 --> 01:00:38,686
A cigarette for Miss Baker,Herbert
883
01:00:38,686 --> 01:00:41,606
We prefer to call our son
Herbert,Miss Baker
884
01:00:41,606 --> 01:00:44,998
I know. When he told me his name was
Herbert,I nearly burst out laughing
885
01:00:44,998 --> 01:00:48,034
Have you seen anybody called Heerbert,
got to scream I call it
886
01:00:48,327 --> 01:00:49,818
I think it is a very nice name,
887
01:00:49,818 --> 01:00:52,701
but of course it all depends of
what part of people one is
888
01:00:54,557 --> 01:00:56,472
If you see what I mean
889
01:01:04,410 --> 01:01:06,586
Why don't you sit down and stop worrying?
890
01:01:06,941 --> 01:01:10,500
How can I,when I think Herbert
being mixed up with a girl like that
891
01:01:10,500 --> 01:01:13,384
I don't know,she is a pretty
little thing in her way
892
01:01:13,411 --> 01:01:15,702
I'll give my foot for that
all powder and paint
893
01:01:15,878 --> 01:01:18,819
She looks very different with her
face washed and without a perm
894
01:01:19,222 --> 01:01:21,844
Common net I would call her,common as dirt
895
01:01:22,562 --> 01:01:24,746
There he is now,don't go upsetting him
896
01:01:24,746 --> 01:01:27,057
I think I know how to treat
my own son,thank you
897
01:01:37,119 --> 01:01:38,629
What's the matter with you?
898
01:01:38,629 --> 01:01:40,429
What do you think,I'm fed up
899
01:01:40,492 --> 01:01:43,188
Now Herbert,you didn't know
to talk to mother like that
900
01:01:43,188 --> 01:01:44,682
She shouldn't treat Betty like that
901
01:01:44,785 --> 01:01:46,649
-Like what?
-You know what I mean
902
01:01:46,649 --> 01:01:48,442
I do not know what you mean,Herbert
903
01:01:49,166 --> 01:01:52,284
and all I have to say is,that
I'm surprised that a son of mine
904
01:01:52,284 --> 01:01:55,654
should insult his mother by bringing
a woman like that into the house
905
01:01:55,685 --> 01:01:56,575
What's wrong with Betty?
906
01:01:56,575 --> 01:01:57,831
Would you like me to tell you?
907
01:01:58,877 --> 01:02:00,278
-Yes
-She is common and cheap..
908
01:02:00,278 --> 01:02:02,509
cheap as dirt
-You've no right to say that
909
01:02:03,038 --> 01:02:05,182
I've the right to say what
I like in my own house
910
01:02:05,262 --> 01:02:08,457
and let me tell you this,she is never
going to set foot in this house again
911
01:02:08,488 --> 01:02:09,313
Not if I know it
912
01:02:09,313 --> 01:02:13,053
Before you start saying that you
may as well know I'm engaged to her
913
01:02:13,053 --> 01:02:14,818
-You are..
-I've been thinking about it..
914
01:02:14,823 --> 01:02:17,895
..for a long time,she was so
upset tonight,I felt sorry for her
915
01:02:17,895 --> 01:02:19,066
so I popped the question
916
01:02:19,362 --> 01:02:21,458
I'd a really job persuading her,
I can tell you
917
01:02:21,458 --> 01:02:26,062
You fool,you fool
918
01:02:31,075 --> 01:02:34,450
-Herbert.Twenty past
-Just coming
919
01:02:36,179 --> 01:02:37,270
You'll miss your train
920
01:02:38,677 --> 01:02:40,274
Wish I had Saturday mornings off
921
01:02:41,045 --> 01:02:42,772
You will when you are in my age
922
01:02:43,115 --> 01:02:44,389
-You're off Herbert
-Yes Mum
923
01:02:44,389 --> 01:02:47,909
I'll make you an half half Monday when
we could have a nice afternoon flying
924
01:02:47,916 --> 01:02:50,355
I supposed to tell you,I shan't
be coming this afternoon
925
01:02:50,361 --> 01:02:51,043
Why not Herbert?
926
01:02:51,097 --> 01:02:52,175
I am going to see the rooms
927
01:02:52,175 --> 01:02:54,145
-What rooms?
-For Betty and me
928
01:02:54,239 --> 01:02:56,413
What do you want the rooms
for until you are married?
929
01:02:56,413 --> 01:02:57,870
We will be married in the week after next
930
01:02:57,962 --> 01:02:59,667
I found a half a house in Debny street
931
01:02:59,667 --> 01:03:02,087
and I'm furnishing it out of
my post office savings money
932
01:03:02,087 --> 01:03:02,944
No Herbert don't..
933
01:03:04,570 --> 01:03:06,279
Come on Mum,don't take it so hard
934
01:03:06,279 --> 01:03:08,437
Things will never be the same again
935
01:03:08,975 --> 01:03:11,909
Of course they will,you'll like Betty
once you get to know her
936
01:03:11,909 --> 01:03:15,735
She's a nice girl,really she is,you
must just give her a chance
937
01:03:18,294 --> 01:03:22,412
We can still go on flying our kite on
Saturday afternoons,just like we always did
938
01:03:23,104 --> 01:03:26,441
Betty can't see anything in kite flying
yet but she'll come round to it
939
01:03:26,529 --> 01:03:28,206
Even if she doesn't I'll come
940
01:03:28,307 --> 01:03:32,194
If you marry that woman,Herbert,
you'll never fly the new kite,for there
941
01:03:32,288 --> 01:03:34,524
Why not? It's mine isn't it?
You gave it to me
942
01:03:34,550 --> 01:03:37,588
No.I never did.I said we put up the
money if you did the work,
943
01:03:37,588 --> 01:03:40,305
I didn't say anything
about giving it to you
944
01:03:40,305 --> 01:03:44,152
All right then.You can keep it.Betty says
kite flying is a kid's game anyway
945
01:03:44,152 --> 01:03:46,769
and I ought to be shamed of
myself flying the kite at my age
946
01:03:47,313 --> 01:03:48,207
She's quite right
947
01:04:04,374 --> 01:04:05,811
-Hello Dad
-Hello Herbert
948
01:04:06,899 --> 01:04:08,111
Had a good honeymoon?
949
01:04:08,111 --> 01:04:08,891
Fine.Thanks
950
01:04:08,891 --> 01:04:10,857
Sorry about the wedding, son
951
01:04:10,971 --> 01:04:12,302
I would have come all right,
952
01:04:12,302 --> 01:04:15,720
see no reasons for making more troubles
in the world when there is enough already
953
01:04:15,936 --> 01:04:17,530
-But you know what your Mum is
-I know
954
01:04:17,991 --> 01:04:18,755
I'm sorry too
955
01:04:18,755 --> 01:04:21,349
-How are you settling in?
-All right
956
01:04:21,349 --> 01:04:23,592
How is everything at home?
957
01:04:23,592 --> 01:04:25,062
All right,we miss you
958
01:04:26,518 --> 01:04:28,258
Are you still flying Saturday afternoons?
959
01:04:28,730 --> 01:04:30,660
Yes.It is not the same,
of course, without you
960
01:04:30,836 --> 01:04:32,670
But we try and get the old spirit going
961
01:04:33,300 --> 01:04:35,194
I wonder why don't you
buy a kite of your own
962
01:04:35,295 --> 01:04:36,517
You were always so keen on it
963
01:04:36,574 --> 01:04:38,335
I know but Betty doesn't see nothing in it
964
01:04:39,183 --> 01:04:40,261
Kites cost money
965
01:04:56,707 --> 01:04:58,863
-Shan't be long Betty
-Where are you going Bert
966
01:04:58,887 --> 01:05:00,446
Just for a walk to get some fresh air
967
01:05:00,446 --> 01:05:03,560
You won't be late,will you? I don't want
to miss the start of the pictures
968
01:05:05,140 --> 01:05:06,891
I'll ask you to be here at sharp of five
969
01:05:07,149 --> 01:05:08,018
All right
970
01:05:30,217 --> 01:05:32,457
It's no good.I'll never get it to fly
971
01:05:33,111 --> 01:05:34,840
-Just one more try
-I can't
972
01:05:35,910 --> 01:05:36,711
I'm puffed out
973
01:05:37,117 --> 01:05:39,242
We need Herbert on a job like this
974
01:05:39,242 --> 01:05:42,949
I say.Don't look now.Pretend you're
packing up the kites for tea.
975
01:05:42,949 --> 01:05:44,772
-Do you see what I see?
-Where?
976
01:05:45,466 --> 01:05:46,767
Over there.Under the tree
977
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:49,829
It's Herbert
978
01:05:49,829 --> 01:05:51,699
Pretend you haven’t seen him for the moment
979
01:05:52,171 --> 01:05:54,662
-What's the idea?
-Try the kite once more..
980
01:05:54,662 --> 01:05:57,589
..this time so you end up
over there by the trees
981
01:05:58,100 --> 01:06:00,986
-It's no good,it won't work
-We can but try
982
01:06:01,185 --> 01:06:02,643
I'll tell you I am puffed out
983
01:06:02,643 --> 01:06:05,747
-You want me to do it?
-No.Of course not.I'll manage
984
01:06:35,613 --> 01:06:38,264
-Hello Dad,so you finished it
-Hello Herbert
985
01:06:39,025 --> 01:06:42,353
Yes.I had it made exactly like your design
986
01:06:42,353 --> 01:06:44,978
but it doesn't work.There is
something wrong
987
01:06:44,978 --> 01:06:46,752
Why?.It is clear as daylight what's wrong
988
01:06:47,036 --> 01:06:48,872
-What?
-You got it rigged too low
989
01:06:50,556 --> 01:06:52,008
There.That's right
990
01:06:52,121 --> 01:06:54,506
I can't Herbert.I am puffed out.
991
01:06:54,506 --> 01:06:56,240
Give it to me
992
01:07:22,554 --> 01:07:24,667
Look it up,Flora
993
01:07:24,667 --> 01:07:26,435
Of course it is up.What did you expect?
994
01:07:26,462 --> 01:07:28,265
Before you had a bit
of trouble haven't you?
995
01:07:28,285 --> 01:07:30,300
That it is only because it
is an experimental
996
01:07:30,824 --> 01:07:32,644
This is only a small scale
model,you know
997
01:07:32,644 --> 01:07:35,807
Once we have got this right we are going
to build the big one,six feet long
998
01:07:35,888 --> 01:07:37,507
We reckon that will go up 2 miles
999
01:07:37,507 --> 01:07:39,708
2 miles.You don't say so
1000
01:07:48,598 --> 01:07:51,709
It will be a huge thing you know,
you won't be able to fly it yourself
1001
01:07:51,986 --> 01:07:53,749
We never thought of flying it ourselves,
1002
01:07:53,749 --> 01:07:57,055
you'll have to lend a hand over to
at least until it has proofed itself
1003
01:07:57,055 --> 01:07:59,841
I tell you what I do,I'll lengthen
it just here ,see
1004
01:07:59,841 --> 01:08:01,904
and lightning it just there
1005
01:08:01,904 --> 01:08:03,204
Where is the other drawing,dad
1006
01:08:03,974 --> 01:08:04,867
Here
1007
01:08:05,931 --> 01:08:07,400
Wait a minute I'll put the light on
1008
01:08:07,663 --> 01:08:08,739
It's getting a bit dark
1009
01:08:08,739 --> 01:08:09,805
What's the time?
1010
01:08:10,278 --> 01:08:11,082
It's after seven
1011
01:08:11,606 --> 01:08:14,163
Gosh,I can't talk now,I'll come
and talk about it next week
1012
01:08:14,163 --> 01:08:16,166
-But Herbert
-Sorry I've to go.Bye
1013
01:08:29,673 --> 01:08:30,953
So you finally got back
1014
01:08:30,953 --> 01:08:33,044
I am sorry,Betty, but I didn't
realize that it was so late
1015
01:08:33,139 --> 01:08:34,790
You missed the start of the
big picture,you know that,don't you?
1016
01:08:34,884 --> 01:08:36,208
I'm terribly sorry,really I am
1017
01:08:36,208 --> 01:08:40,251
-Where have you been?
-I met some fellows,we got talking
1018
01:08:40,773 --> 01:08:42,806
-What fellows?
-Just some chaps I know
1019
01:08:42,855 --> 01:08:44,312
Why don't you tell me the truth
1020
01:08:44,312 --> 01:08:46,091
You were on the common
flying that kite,weren't you?
1021
01:08:46,091 --> 01:08:47,400
-No
-Don't lie to me Bert
1022
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:48,855
-I am not
-Oh,yes you are
1023
01:08:48,910 --> 01:08:51,027
I followed you to the Downs
and saw what happened
1024
01:08:51,054 --> 01:08:53,346
Flying a kite,you were,you a grown man
1025
01:08:53,731 --> 01:08:54,975
Contemptible I would call it
1026
01:08:57,779 --> 01:09:01,325
I don't care what you call it,I like it
and if you don't like it you can lump it
1027
01:09:01,325 --> 01:09:02,968
I tell you straight I won't have it
1028
01:09:02,968 --> 01:09:05,152
I am not going to have you
make a fool of yourself
1029
01:09:05,193 --> 01:09:07,660
I've flown kites on Saturday afternoons
ever since I was a kid
1030
01:09:07,660 --> 01:09:09,967
I'm going on flying them
as long as I want to
1031
01:09:09,967 --> 01:09:11,608
Do as that mother of yours
1032
01:09:11,608 --> 01:09:13,557
You went back this afternoon,didn't you?
1033
01:09:13,710 --> 01:09:14,524
Suppose I did
1034
01:09:14,524 --> 01:09:16,821
She is just trying to get you
away from me,that's all
1035
01:09:16,892 --> 01:09:18,638
If you were a man,you would never speak to
her again,
1036
01:09:18,638 --> 01:09:20,186
not after the way she has treated me
1037
01:09:20,490 --> 01:09:24,095
She is my mother,and I've every right to
see her,just whenever I want to
1038
01:09:25,866 --> 01:09:29,173
Bert,why do we have to
quarrel about silly kites
1039
01:09:30,391 --> 01:09:32,216
I didn't want to quarrel
1040
01:09:34,188 --> 01:09:38,005
It is just so lonely sitting here,all that
time waiting for you to come in
1041
01:09:38,683 --> 01:09:42,683
I'm sorry Betty I didn't mean
to be late,honestly,I didn't
1042
01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:44,478
It won't happen again
1043
01:09:47,663 --> 01:09:49,847
Oh,Bert,I do love you so
1044
01:09:57,454 --> 01:09:58,583
Hello,Herbert
1045
01:09:58,711 --> 01:09:59,514
Hello dad
1046
01:10:00,407 --> 01:10:01,883
-Haven't seen you lately
-No
1047
01:10:03,825 --> 01:10:06,226
Lovely flying weather we had
these last two Saturdays
1048
01:10:07,086 --> 01:10:07,968
We looked out for you
1049
01:10:07,968 --> 01:10:09,395
I took Betty to the pictures
1050
01:10:09,395 --> 01:10:12,686
Pity,wasting a fine Saturday
afternoon in the pictures
1051
01:10:12,695 --> 01:10:14,342
She likes to go on Saturday afternoons
1052
01:10:15,522 --> 01:10:17,236
-A new kite came today
-It did?
1053
01:10:17,285 --> 01:10:19,777
We had it built at Martin's just
the way you designed it
1054
01:10:19,777 --> 01:10:21,403
-How does she look?
-Grand
1055
01:10:21,967 --> 01:10:24,830
Your mum says,of course we charge
you to come and help us with it
1056
01:10:24,854 --> 01:10:27,620
But no one has got the right to
come between the man and his wife
1057
01:10:27,687 --> 01:10:31,132
If you're afraid of Betty,
kicking up a rump or something
1058
01:10:31,132 --> 01:10:32,088
You'd better not come
1059
01:10:32,692 --> 01:10:35,296
There is a young fellow on the
Common,Bill Perkins,you know
1060
01:10:36,066 --> 01:10:37,143
He is just mad about it
1061
01:10:37,173 --> 01:10:39,449
He says he can fly if anyone can't
1062
01:10:39,449 --> 01:10:42,644
What does Bill Perkins know
about a kite I designed?
1063
01:10:43,261 --> 01:10:45,014
Your mum and I cannot manage it alone
1064
01:10:45,567 --> 01:10:47,826
We must just take the best
help we can get,that's all
1065
01:10:48,925 --> 01:10:51,299
You think it over,if you don't
come we understand
1066
01:10:55,769 --> 01:10:56,694
What do you like see?
1067
01:10:56,694 --> 01:10:59,908
There is Margret Lockwood at the Palace
and John Mills at the Majestic
1068
01:10:59,908 --> 01:11:03,036
Look,Betty couldn't we go to the
second show after the tea about 6 ?
1069
01:11:03,036 --> 01:11:05,056
-Why?
-It's a lovely day
1070
01:11:05,286 --> 01:11:08,972
It seems a pity to sit inside in the dark,
when the sun is shining outside
1071
01:11:08,972 --> 01:11:10,954
Why don't you stop lying
and tell me the truth
1072
01:11:11,087 --> 01:11:12,387
It's that kite,isn't it?
1073
01:11:12,387 --> 01:11:13,140
Supposing it is
1074
01:11:13,140 --> 01:11:14,363
Bert, you promised me three weeks ago
1075
01:11:14,363 --> 01:11:17,049
you wouldn't make a fool of yourself
with that kid's game again
1076
01:11:17,094 --> 01:11:20,638
I know but this happens to be a special
type,one I designed myself for Mum and Dad
1077
01:11:20,638 --> 01:11:22,103
They've been flying kites for you
1078
01:11:22,108 --> 01:11:23,172
Why can't they do it themselves?
1079
01:11:23,172 --> 01:11:25,466
Because it is too big,until I show them how
1080
01:11:25,726 --> 01:11:27,108
and there is more to it than that
1081
01:11:27,108 --> 01:11:30,492
It is a new idea,everybody on
the common is excited about it
1082
01:11:30,591 --> 01:11:33,375
If it is successful,our Payton would
make a lot of money out of it
1083
01:11:33,771 --> 01:11:36,284
Who says you would get mad it.
Making money out of kites
1084
01:11:36,492 --> 01:11:38,145
Look Betty why don't you come yourself?
1085
01:11:38,145 --> 01:11:39,480
It's good fun,really it is
1086
01:11:39,699 --> 01:11:43,296
I told you why.I'm not going to have
people laughing at me and you either
1087
01:11:46,893 --> 01:11:49,401
I am going,and if you don't
like it you can lump it
1088
01:11:49,516 --> 01:11:50,840
And sit here for hours alone
1089
01:11:50,908 --> 01:11:52,957
If you don't want to come
that is your look out
1090
01:11:53,024 --> 01:11:54,349
I'm not coming and that's that
1091
01:11:55,511 --> 01:11:57,148
Look Betty,just this once
1092
01:11:57,253 --> 01:11:59,880
What you say now,once you
started it will go on for years
1093
01:11:59,964 --> 01:12:02,039
I've had about as much
of it as I can stand,
1094
01:12:02,039 --> 01:12:03,697
and you're married to me
and not that damned kite
1095
01:12:03,790 --> 01:12:06,491
If you don't want to come you
needn't,you can stop me going
1096
01:12:07,085 --> 01:12:08,097
We'll see about that
1097
01:12:08,368 --> 01:12:09,098
Come on let me by
1098
01:12:09,134 --> 01:12:10,474
If you move that kite I warn you
1099
01:12:10,573 --> 01:12:12,480
You want me to give you a scuff on the jaw
1100
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:13,695
You go and needn't come back
1101
01:12:13,716 --> 01:12:14,800
I'll come back when I choose
1102
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,912
I mean it ,if you don't I
give you up for good
1103
01:12:16,912 --> 01:12:18,247
Get out of my way
1104
01:12:21,343 --> 01:12:23,022
Leave me alone,leave me alone
1105
01:12:42,750 --> 01:12:43,803
I don't believe it
1106
01:12:44,924 --> 01:12:46,853
Hi,kids,come and have
a look at this format
1107
01:12:47,077 --> 01:12:48,480
How are you going to get it up?
1108
01:12:48,480 --> 01:12:50,263
It will fly all right,you wait
1109
01:12:50,518 --> 01:12:51,858
Come on let's see it
1110
01:12:51,858 --> 01:12:53,699
Where is my son? Here he is now
1111
01:12:53,959 --> 01:12:55,054
My son Herbert designed it
1112
01:12:55,054 --> 01:12:56,347
Come on Herbert
1113
01:12:56,368 --> 01:12:57,499
-Ready?
-Yes
1114
01:14:06,377 --> 01:14:08,410
Betty.Are you in there?
1115
01:14:10,292 --> 01:14:11,397
Betty
1116
01:14:35,890 --> 01:14:37,637
All right,Samuel,I'll answer it
1117
01:14:45,004 --> 01:14:46,521
Hello Herbert
1118
01:14:46,521 --> 01:14:48,205
I've come home,Mum
1119
01:14:48,205 --> 01:14:49,790
Your's room is ready for you
1120
01:14:51,109 --> 01:14:53,106
Take your things upstairs
and then come down
1121
01:14:53,460 --> 01:14:55,029
We're just sitting down for supper
1122
01:14:56,635 --> 01:14:59,112
Samuel,run out and get a quarter of beer
1123
01:15:00,394 --> 01:15:01,489
Herbert has come home
1124
01:15:05,556 --> 01:15:07,234
Well you have had it now Herbert
1125
01:15:07,396 --> 01:15:09,554
I always take it that she
was no wife for you
1126
01:15:09,554 --> 01:15:11,040
It was her who had done it not me
1127
01:15:11,165 --> 01:15:14,465
It was her.It was all over
and done with it now
1128
01:15:14,804 --> 01:15:17,813
It will be nice to sleep again in your
own little bed again,won't it?
1129
01:15:18,449 --> 01:15:19,987
A bed you've been used all your life
1130
01:15:20,383 --> 01:15:21,603
She will try and get him back
1131
01:15:21,785 --> 01:15:23,219
In fact no chance get him back
1132
01:15:23,219 --> 01:15:25,112
Of course you have to provide for her
1133
01:15:25,523 --> 01:15:27,765
Why should he? She trapped
him into marrying her
1134
01:15:27,958 --> 01:15:29,934
Now she turned him out of
the home he made her
1135
01:15:30,263 --> 01:15:32,817
I'll give her what's right as long
as she leaves me alone
1136
01:15:34,809 --> 01:15:37,937
Good Night Mum.I'm tired.I'll be
glad of a good night's rest
1137
01:15:37,937 --> 01:15:42,024
In your own nice comfortable bed.
Good Night Herbert dear
1138
01:15:42,817 --> 01:15:43,515
Good Night Dad
1139
01:15:44,787 --> 01:15:46,920
Tomorrow is Sunday,so you
needn't hurry to get up
1140
01:15:47,353 --> 01:15:49,167
I'll bring you a nice cup of tea in bed
1141
01:16:15,730 --> 01:16:16,866
-Hello Mum
-Hello Dear
1142
01:16:17,247 --> 01:16:18,300
Evening paper
1143
01:16:18,790 --> 01:16:20,005
What a lovely smell of toast
1144
01:16:20,354 --> 01:16:20,938
It's bun
1145
01:16:21,334 --> 01:16:24,421
Remind me of the old days,coming home
from school,smelling toasted buns
1146
01:16:24,421 --> 01:16:26,298
The old days are back again Herbert
1147
01:16:26,903 --> 01:16:27,711
Do you know what?
1148
01:16:27,711 --> 01:16:31,183
It took me a week to get your
coats back and your socks mended
1149
01:16:31,183 --> 01:16:33,060
They were in a state
1150
01:16:33,466 --> 01:16:36,339
You take your boots off and put
your slippers on I'll get your tea
1151
01:16:36,339 --> 01:16:38,660
No.I have to go down to the
post office before it shuts
1152
01:16:38,691 --> 01:16:40,099
I just got time for a cup of tea
1153
01:16:40,099 --> 01:16:41,866
What are you going to the post office for?
1154
01:16:41,939 --> 01:16:44,849
It's pay day and Betty knows.
I must send her something
1155
01:16:44,849 --> 01:16:48,717
Why should you? She is young and healthy.
Let her go out and earn her own living
1156
01:16:49,567 --> 01:16:52,294
She throw you out,she can't expect
you to work for her after that
1157
01:16:52,763 --> 01:16:56,073
He's got to do the right thing,Beatrice
whether is due to her or not
1158
01:16:56,636 --> 01:17:01,563
We talked it over in the train and I think
he ought to send her,say,35 shillings week
1159
01:17:03,424 --> 01:17:08,153
That's her.Leave it to me.I'll see to her
1160
01:17:17,183 --> 01:17:18,200
I want to see Bert
1161
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,649
-You can't.He's out
-No.He isn't
1162
01:17:19,659 --> 01:17:22,251
He went in with his Dad 5 minutes
ago and he hasn't come out again
1163
01:17:22,251 --> 01:17:23,684
He doesn't want to see you
1164
01:17:23,747 --> 01:17:26,041
And if you start making a fuss
I will call the police
1165
01:17:26,536 --> 01:17:27,600
I want my week's money
1166
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:29,336
That's all you ever wanted of him
1167
01:17:30,045 --> 01:17:32,453
-Here is 35 shilling
-35 shillings?
1168
01:17:33,173 --> 01:17:34,857
The rent is 12 shillings a week
1169
01:17:34,899 --> 01:17:38,251
That's all you going to get.He has to pay
his board and lodging here hasn't he?
1170
01:17:38,251 --> 01:17:40,383
And then there is the installment
on the furniture
1171
01:17:40,884 --> 01:17:42,265
We'll see to that when time comes
1172
01:17:42,933 --> 01:17:44,512
Do you want the money or don't you?
1173
01:17:44,945 --> 01:17:46,780
-I want to see Bert
-You can't
1174
01:17:47,375 --> 01:17:49,867
There's your money.Now be off with you.
1175
01:17:54,303 --> 01:17:55,946
I settled her hush all right
1176
01:17:58,646 --> 01:18:01,571
Leave it alone.Don't answer
1177
01:18:02,358 --> 01:18:03,855
And don't let them buns get cold
1178
01:18:19,308 --> 01:18:20,668
-Hello Bert
-Hello
1179
01:18:21,002 --> 01:18:23,020
I want to talk to my husband
alone,Mr Sunbury
1180
01:18:23,020 --> 01:18:25,705
There is nothing you have to say
to me which my dad can't hear
1181
01:18:26,002 --> 01:18:26,925
All right then
1182
01:18:28,098 --> 01:18:29,547
I want you to come back home Bert.
1183
01:18:29,547 --> 01:18:32,091
I didn't mean it that night
when I packed your bag
1184
01:18:32,216 --> 01:18:33,530
I merely did it to frighten you
1185
01:18:34,130 --> 01:18:36,893
I was in a temper.I'm sorry for what I did
1186
01:18:37,341 --> 01:18:39,505
It is also silly to quarreling
about of a kite
1187
01:18:39,541 --> 01:18:40,777
I'm not coming back,you see
1188
01:18:40,777 --> 01:18:43,488
when you turned me out,you did the
best turn you could have done me
1189
01:18:43,488 --> 01:18:44,750
-Bert
-You got my letter,didn't you?
1190
01:18:44,776 --> 01:18:45,996
So long as you stay away from me
1191
01:18:45,996 --> 01:18:48,712
I'll send you 35 shillings postal
order every Friday night
1192
01:18:48,712 --> 01:18:51,350
and I pay the installments on the
furniture when they become due
1193
01:18:51,553 --> 01:18:54,228
The downside fare you deserve,
I've got my train to catch
1194
01:18:54,641 --> 01:18:57,529
But I love you Bert,if you want
to play with your silly old kite,
1195
01:18:57,529 --> 01:18:59,959
you can fly it,I don't care
as long as you come back
1196
01:19:00,032 --> 01:19:01,408
No thanks.I know that I am well off
1197
01:19:01,408 --> 01:19:03,796
and I've had enough of marriage
to last me a lifetime
1198
01:19:16,418 --> 01:19:17,601
I'll tell
1199
01:19:28,972 --> 01:19:31,391
-Yes
-Good Evening .I'm for the Advertiser
1200
01:19:31,391 --> 01:19:34,128
-Could I speak to Mr Sunbury
-I am Mr Sunbury
1201
01:19:34,603 --> 01:19:36,756
-Mr Herbert Sunbury?
-No.That's my son
1202
01:19:37,116 --> 01:19:38,278
What do you want with him?
1203
01:19:38,435 --> 01:19:40,703
My editor wants me to write
a piece about his kite
1204
01:19:40,703 --> 01:19:43,956
I gather something quite
new,isn't that right?
1205
01:19:44,759 --> 01:19:47,110
-Just a minute.I'll call him
-Thanks
1206
01:19:48,116 --> 01:19:51,719
Herbert.There is a reporter here,he
wants to talk to you about the kite
1207
01:19:55,926 --> 01:19:57,480
Good Evening.Sorry to trouble you
1208
01:19:57,480 --> 01:20:00,243
but my editor wants a few details
about your new kite
1209
01:20:00,311 --> 01:20:01,004
No troubles
1210
01:20:01,004 --> 01:20:03,194
We had a report that it's
something rather special
1211
01:20:03,194 --> 01:20:04,727
-It is
-Good.Now tell me..
1212
01:20:04,727 --> 01:20:06,551
How it is different from any other kite?
1213
01:20:06,551 --> 01:20:08,944
-It's the design
-Design?
1214
01:20:08,944 --> 01:20:11,150
Oh,yes,of course.Could I see it?
1215
01:20:11,499 --> 01:20:13,266
Yes.If you like.I'll get it.
1216
01:20:15,670 --> 01:20:17,140
Won't you step inside for a minute?
1217
01:20:18,198 --> 01:20:19,340
Thank you very much
1218
01:20:51,028 --> 01:20:54,443
I do wish Herbert had come back.
I don't like him rushing off like that
1219
01:20:54,625 --> 01:20:56,596
He was upset,wouldn't you've been?
1220
01:20:56,607 --> 01:20:58,358
I only hope he doesn't do any mischief
1221
01:20:59,036 --> 01:21:00,308
We don't even know it was her
1222
01:21:00,939 --> 01:21:01,898
Who else could it be?
1223
01:21:02,232 --> 01:21:04,135
She must have watched me going out shopping
1224
01:21:04,135 --> 01:21:05,746
and then slipped in the side way
1225
01:21:06,549 --> 01:21:09,640
It's not so much the damage
it's the adjustments
1226
01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:11,809
the weeks of work he put into it
1227
01:21:12,164 --> 01:21:14,838
Even if we built another he might
never get it right again
1228
01:21:17,539 --> 01:21:20,584
She did it all right.Told me straight out.
Proud of it,she was
1229
01:21:20,599 --> 01:21:23,008
She said she would do it again
if she had got the chance
1230
01:21:23,008 --> 01:21:24,045
What did you say?
1231
01:21:24,223 --> 01:21:26,412
I didn't trust myself to
say a word I came away
1232
01:21:26,824 --> 01:21:28,967
It wouldn't take me much to wring her neck
1233
01:21:29,415 --> 01:21:30,953
Even if I had to swing for it
1234
01:21:31,642 --> 01:21:32,507
I know one thing now,
1235
01:21:32,507 --> 01:21:35,218
she is not going to get another
penny out of me as long as I live
1236
01:21:35,270 --> 01:21:36,829
-She'll take it to court
-Let her
1237
01:21:36,996 --> 01:21:40,405
Installments on the furniture is next week
and in your clothes I wouldn't pay it
1238
01:21:40,628 --> 01:21:42,191
Then they would just take it away
1239
01:21:42,191 --> 01:21:44,208
and all money he has paid on it
would have been wasted
1240
01:21:44,208 --> 01:21:45,989
What of it.He is rid her for good,
1241
01:21:45,989 --> 01:21:48,680
and we've got him back and
that's the chief thing
1242
01:21:49,109 --> 01:21:50,309
I don't care about the money
1243
01:21:50,309 --> 01:21:54,687
but I give all I got to see her face when
they come to take away the furniture
1244
01:21:55,342 --> 01:21:56,811
It meant a lot to her,that did
1245
01:21:58,029 --> 01:21:59,065
And that piano
1246
01:21:59,668 --> 01:22:01,356
She fell in love with that piano
1247
01:22:05,913 --> 01:22:08,634
Of course he didn't pay the installments
and he didn't pay her
1248
01:22:09,165 --> 01:22:11,746
When the Magistrate made an order
he didn’t pay that either
1249
01:22:12,193 --> 01:22:13,843
So eventually he landed up here
1250
01:22:14,852 --> 01:22:16,979
I've talked to him but I
can't just get anywhere
1251
01:22:17,045 --> 01:22:18,117
What do you make of him?
1252
01:22:18,445 --> 01:22:20,317
What's the girl like,do you know her?
1253
01:22:20,317 --> 01:22:22,217
Not bad at all.I've seen her
1254
01:22:22,623 --> 01:22:25,622
No.There is nothing wrong with her
except she is jealous of his kite
1255
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:27,987
There must be something about kite flying.
1256
01:22:27,987 --> 01:22:30,922
Something too deep for us poor
laymen to understand
1257
01:22:30,922 --> 01:22:33,127
-Yes.Maybe -That's the
life of it,can't see why
1258
01:22:33,873 --> 01:22:37,860
I don't know perhaps it gives him a sense
of pride to watch the things he's made
1259
01:22:37,860 --> 01:22:39,559
soaring up into the clouds
1260
01:22:41,168 --> 01:22:44,930
or maybe in some queer way he
identify himself with the kite
1261
01:22:45,517 --> 01:22:48,164
You know escaping from the
restrictions of life on earth
1262
01:22:48,406 --> 01:22:49,900
That's a bit fanciful isn't it?
1263
01:22:49,900 --> 01:22:52,005
People are fanciful much
more than you'd think
1264
01:22:54,565 --> 01:22:59,224
I can tell you this, to him his kite
represent an ideal of some kind
1265
01:23:00,345 --> 01:23:02,346
When once a man is bitten by an ideal
1266
01:23:02,346 --> 01:23:05,250
not all the king's doctors
nor the king's surgeons
1267
01:23:05,250 --> 01:23:06,970
could do anything to cure him of it
1268
01:23:07,069 --> 01:23:08,629
Then what is he going to do about it
1269
01:23:09,411 --> 01:23:10,236
Nothing
1270
01:23:12,178 --> 01:23:15,045
That's the end of the story
as Ned Preston told it to me
1271
01:23:15,719 --> 01:23:18,384
and I never knew what
happened to Herbert and Betty
1272
01:23:18,978 --> 01:23:20,591
Perhaps it was something like this
1273
01:23:28,351 --> 01:23:30,067
-Mrs Sunbury
-That's right
1274
01:23:30,421 --> 01:23:32,319
I'd like to talk to you
for a minute if I may
1275
01:23:32,538 --> 01:23:33,097
What about?
1276
01:23:33,646 --> 01:23:35,787
Your husband
1277
01:23:35,787 --> 01:23:37,189
Did he send you here?
1278
01:23:37,548 --> 01:23:39,174
No.It was my own idea
1279
01:23:39,556 --> 01:23:41,907
My name is Preston,I am what
they call a prison visitor
1280
01:23:41,907 --> 01:23:44,052
You better come in
1281
01:23:44,601 --> 01:23:45,203
Thank you
1282
01:23:49,254 --> 01:23:52,847
I've just seen your husband,Mrs Sunbury,
he is inside again you know
1283
01:23:53,295 --> 01:23:53,901
Yes I know
1284
01:23:54,592 --> 01:23:56,367
I see this rather a pity,don't you think?
1285
01:23:56,811 --> 01:23:58,900
-It's not my fault
-No.Of course not
1286
01:23:58,900 --> 01:24:00,127
Nobody is suggesting it is
1287
01:24:00,596 --> 01:24:02,448
What do you want me to do about it?
1288
01:24:03,943 --> 01:24:05,563
Mrs Sunbury would you take him back?
1289
01:24:08,901 --> 01:24:10,345
I don't know
1290
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:12,224
Would you think about it?
1291
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:13,645
What’s the point of thinking about it
1292
01:24:13,645 --> 01:24:15,673
He wouldn't come back,
even if I asked him to
1293
01:24:15,673 --> 01:24:18,452
But supposing he would,would you take him?
1294
01:24:18,998 --> 01:24:20,795
Yes.I think so
1295
01:24:20,795 --> 01:24:23,282
Right.Then I want you listen carefully
1296
01:24:33,904 --> 01:24:35,795
-Come on young fellow,helas
-Come on where?
1297
01:24:35,795 --> 01:24:36,602
You're going out
1298
01:24:36,602 --> 01:24:38,157
But I'm not due out until tomorrow
1299
01:24:38,157 --> 01:24:41,908
It's no good arguing,the Governor says you
are going out this afternoon,so out you go
1300
01:24:42,152 --> 01:24:42,743
All right
1301
01:24:43,227 --> 01:24:44,816
-Don't you want to go out?
-Not much
1302
01:24:45,522 --> 01:24:48,738
-You're a queer,you are
-What's the good,I'll only be back again
1303
01:24:48,738 --> 01:24:51,191
next week
1304
01:25:58,852 --> 01:25:59,719
The colonel's lady
1305
01:26:02,606 --> 01:26:04,369
The Peregrines were having a breakfast.
1306
01:26:04,369 --> 01:26:09,453
Though they were alone and the table
was long,they sat at opposite end of it
1307
01:26:09,453 --> 01:26:14,701
George Peregrine was as usual
comfortably absorbed in his Times
1308
01:26:14,701 --> 01:26:17,314
The butler brought in the morning post
1309
01:26:17,926 --> 01:26:21,144
Tell Somerset that I want a car at eleven
I am going to the agriculture show
1310
01:26:21,144 --> 01:26:21,904
Yes,Sir
1311
01:26:25,866 --> 01:26:26,930
Let me open it for you
1312
01:26:27,936 --> 01:26:29,694
You know I hate to see people cut strings
1313
01:26:49,177 --> 01:26:50,907
There are all the same
1314
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,330
Why on earth do you want six
copies of the same book for
1315
01:26:56,144 --> 01:26:57,356
Poetry
1316
01:26:59,235 --> 01:27:03,506
Through Pyramides Decay by EK Hamilton
1317
01:27:04,007 --> 01:27:05,387
That's your maiden name
1318
01:27:07,566 --> 01:27:09,374
You don't mean to say that you wrote it?
1319
01:27:09,864 --> 01:27:11,698
-Yes
-What poetry?
1320
01:27:13,144 --> 01:27:13,750
Yes
1321
01:27:14,540 --> 01:27:15,328
You never told me
1322
01:27:15,328 --> 01:27:17,039
You are a slyboots
1323
01:27:17,499 --> 01:27:19,476
I didn't think it would interest
you very much
1324
01:27:21,667 --> 01:27:23,154
Would you like a copy?
1325
01:27:24,868 --> 01:27:26,257
Poetry is not much in my line
1326
01:27:26,583 --> 01:27:29,911
But I would like a copy I'll take
it to my study and look at it
1327
01:27:33,026 --> 01:27:34,025
Quite like a real book
1328
01:27:34,681 --> 01:27:37,100
Must have cost you quite
a bit to get this printed
1329
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,479
I was lucky,I sent it to a
publisher and he took it
1330
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,110
In fact he paid a small advance
1331
01:27:44,315 --> 01:27:46,047
25 £
1332
01:27:46,627 --> 01:27:48,226
You don't say
1333
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:50,323
Really
1334
01:27:52,265 --> 01:27:53,027
Bless us all
1335
01:28:24,959 --> 01:28:26,305
Mr Bannock to see you,Sir
1336
01:28:27,355 --> 01:28:28,129
Show him in
1337
01:28:35,420 --> 01:28:36,299
Oh,Good Morning Danny
1338
01:28:36,665 --> 01:28:37,550
Good Morning Colonel
1339
01:28:37,550 --> 01:28:40,812
I got those forms for your new barn,
there are some details you have to fill in
1340
01:28:41,226 --> 01:28:43,867
I've put pencil across the
questions that you must answer
1341
01:28:43,867 --> 01:28:45,109
Thank you Sir
1342
01:28:45,848 --> 01:28:47,637
Have you got time to look at that bull,Sir
1343
01:28:47,637 --> 01:28:54,069
Not today I'm afraid.I've got to be
at the Agricultural Show half past eleven
1344
01:28:54,069 --> 01:28:56,020
and there's a County
Committee this afternoon
1345
01:28:56,020 --> 01:28:58,765
If you are going by the lane,Sir,
it will only take five minutes
1346
01:29:02,214 --> 01:29:04,614
All right,I'll have a look on
my way to the show
1347
01:29:04,625 --> 01:29:05,994
-It has to be quick
-Thank you
1348
01:29:12,020 --> 01:29:14,105
-Good Morning, Bannock
-Good Morning,Madame
1349
01:29:14,278 --> 01:29:15,129
You are off,Sir?
1350
01:29:15,129 --> 01:29:17,690
Yes.Just going to look at this
bull that Bannock wants to buy
1351
01:29:17,778 --> 01:29:18,958
Just before I go to the show
1352
01:29:18,967 --> 01:29:20,059
Will you be back for tea?
1353
01:29:21,090 --> 01:29:24,608
No.It's the country agricultural committee
1354
01:29:24,608 --> 01:29:26,548
Look.Don't wait for me if I'm late
1355
01:29:26,548 --> 01:29:27,317
No.All right
1356
01:29:28,041 --> 01:29:29,064
Just a second
1357
01:29:29,963 --> 01:29:30,830
Ivy
1358
01:29:33,944 --> 01:29:34,795
I read your book
1359
01:29:34,795 --> 01:29:38,095
-Already?
-Gone down quite after breakfast
1360
01:29:38,095 --> 01:29:40,731
Didn't take long.There
isn't much of it.Is it?
1361
01:29:41,192 --> 01:29:43,076
No.Not very much
1362
01:29:43,567 --> 01:29:45,534
A bit of a swift charging 8shil 6p for that
1363
01:29:46,164 --> 01:29:47,322
It's only 80 pages
1364
01:29:47,650 --> 01:29:49,953
Yes.Did you like it?
1365
01:29:51,839 --> 01:29:53,020
Jolly good
1366
01:29:53,478 --> 01:29:55,954
It's not quite my stuff,
you know.Jolly good.
1367
01:29:55,954 --> 01:29:57,619
I am glad you liked it,dear
1368
01:29:58,228 --> 01:29:59,731
-Good bye
-Good bye
1369
01:30:29,987 --> 01:30:31,606
Hello George,how are you?
1370
01:30:32,309 --> 01:30:33,367
I am very well,thanks
1371
01:30:34,357 --> 01:30:36,158
We were only talking about you this morning
1372
01:30:36,626 --> 01:30:37,768
or rather about your wife
1373
01:30:38,517 --> 01:30:39,282
My wife?
1374
01:30:39,833 --> 01:30:41,821
Yes.By jove,what a success
1375
01:30:41,821 --> 01:30:44,337
And I've never read such
notices for a book of poetry
1376
01:30:45,152 --> 01:30:46,596
Didn't know that you read poetry
1377
01:30:47,192 --> 01:30:49,265
No I don't do it my self.My wife does
1378
01:30:49,595 --> 01:30:52,381
she belongs to one of those book's bazaar
and get all the new stuff
1379
01:30:53,025 --> 01:30:53,709
Next
1380
01:30:53,709 --> 01:30:56,963
It got into her eyes yesterday.Read it in a swift
and said it was magnificient
1381
01:30:58,077 --> 01:31:00,403
Hardly suitable for children.
You know what I mean
1382
01:31:00,954 --> 01:31:02,173
What the devil do you mean?
1383
01:31:02,682 --> 01:31:04,242
What do you think about it yourself?
1384
01:31:05,739 --> 01:31:07,645
How do you know that my
wife wrote it anyway
1385
01:31:07,950 --> 01:31:10,241
They are in good libraries
tell my Mrs last week
1386
01:31:11,456 --> 01:31:13,223
It is in Telegraph today I just read it
1387
01:31:16,218 --> 01:31:19,367
Yes.Here it is.The name of Cathrine
Hamilton confuses
1388
01:31:19,367 --> 01:31:23,345
the identity of Mrs George Peregrine
of Manor House,Langley,Warwickshire
1389
01:31:23,855 --> 01:31:26,408
She is a daughter of the late
General Sir Richard Hamilton
1390
01:31:26,408 --> 01:31:30,607
who is remembered for his gallant
defense of Nuri in the second Afghan war
1391
01:31:32,046 --> 01:31:33,606
Not a mention of you,old boy
1392
01:31:35,170 --> 01:31:36,612
Yes what do you think of it all?
1393
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:45,208
You know.I don't believe you've read it
1394
01:31:45,314 --> 01:31:47,142
If you were chairman of seven committees,
1395
01:31:47,142 --> 01:31:49,458
president of three clubs and
goodness know of what else
1396
01:31:50,563 --> 01:31:52,084
You know I don't get time for poetry
1397
01:32:13,871 --> 01:32:16,291
-Hello George
-Hello my dear
1398
01:32:16,351 --> 01:32:18,087
I began to think that you were not coming
1399
01:32:18,876 --> 01:32:20,045
I'm fine,Daphne
1400
01:32:23,502 --> 01:32:25,205
I had a dickens of a day
1401
01:32:25,282 --> 01:32:26,479
been on a bench all morning,
1402
01:32:27,568 --> 01:32:30,731
one of those beastly husband
and wife cases went on for hours
1403
01:32:31,165 --> 01:32:33,507
I missed the train and had to
come up on the 4 o'clock
1404
01:32:33,507 --> 01:32:34,855
Then you will be needing a drink
1405
01:32:35,637 --> 01:32:36,503
What shall we do?
1406
01:32:37,262 --> 01:32:40,017
Would you like to have supper
at Mario's and go on to the Milroy
1407
01:32:40,110 --> 01:32:40,887
That would be nice
1408
01:32:41,783 --> 01:32:43,278
But don't let us stay out too late
1409
01:32:46,273 --> 01:32:48,508
-How have you been?
-Lonely
1410
01:32:48,937 --> 01:32:50,943
I'm sorry I just couldn't make it last week
1411
01:32:51,896 --> 01:32:53,966
-I'm a busy man you know
-Too busy
1412
01:32:54,724 --> 01:32:57,745
Never mind.We'll make up for it tonight
1413
01:33:00,340 --> 01:33:03,933
By the way is it your wife who has written
that book they are all talking about
1414
01:33:04,236 --> 01:33:05,365
What on earth do you mean?
1415
01:33:05,872 --> 01:33:08,674
A man I know,he is a critic,took me
out to dinner the other night
1416
01:33:08,723 --> 01:33:10,528
He had a couple of books with him,you know
1417
01:33:10,976 --> 01:33:11,582
Review copies
1418
01:33:11,918 --> 01:33:13,575
So I asked him to give me one to read
1419
01:33:14,125 --> 01:33:17,955
And he said ,no you wouldn't
like these about poetry
1420
01:33:18,322 --> 01:33:21,249
I am not much of hand in poetry
in the ordinary way
1421
01:33:21,249 --> 01:33:23,175
So I told him he could keep them
1422
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:25,348
However,just as he was going
1423
01:33:25,348 --> 01:33:27,108
he seemed to change his mind,and he says
1424
01:33:27,128 --> 01:33:29,668
you might like to try this
one is damned good
1425
01:33:29,906 --> 01:33:31,402
It's selling like a hot cake
1426
01:33:32,010 --> 01:33:34,836
And do you know,he was absolutely
right,I just couldn't put it down
1427
01:33:36,192 --> 01:33:36,994
Who is it by?
1428
01:33:37,277 --> 01:33:41,407
A woman called Hamilton but my friends
say that he real name was Peregrine tonight
1429
01:33:41,477 --> 01:33:46,061
That's odd,because I know some Peregrines
and it is not a very common name is it?
1430
01:33:46,855 --> 01:33:48,505
Might be it couldn't be the same one
1431
01:33:48,505 --> 01:33:52,153
this woman was married to a colonel type
who lived near Worcester
1432
01:33:52,153 --> 01:33:54,977
I just assumed that you didn't
talk about me to your friends
1433
01:33:55,398 --> 01:33:59,320
Who would you take me for darling
I just said no can't be the same one
1434
01:34:00,168 --> 01:34:02,855
My friends say he is supposed
to be a regular Colonel Blimp
1435
01:34:04,930 --> 01:34:06,480
You can tell them better than that
1436
01:34:07,914 --> 01:34:09,446
And if my wife had written the book
1437
01:34:09,446 --> 01:34:12,608
I should be the first to
know about it,wouldn't I?
1438
01:34:14,078 --> 01:34:15,247
I suppose you would
1439
01:34:16,398 --> 01:34:18,922
Let's not waste time on trivials
1440
01:34:51,553 --> 01:34:53,259
No.I haven't seen for some time now
1441
01:34:53,681 --> 01:34:56,919
I heard the other day that he hadn't
been too well,I hope he is all right
1442
01:34:58,058 --> 01:35:01,527
Peregrine.How do you like
being the husband of a celebrity?
1443
01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:03,597
I don't know what you are talking about
1444
01:35:03,597 --> 01:35:06,749
Oh,dear boy,the secret is out
it is the days Telegraph
1445
01:35:07,633 --> 01:35:10,172
Amazing for a book of poetry
to get reviews like that
1446
01:35:10,172 --> 01:35:10,931
selling like hot cakes
1447
01:35:12,012 --> 01:35:13,741
Peregrine,forgive my butting in
1448
01:35:14,260 --> 01:35:16,130
I say I have Henry Dashwood
lunching with me
1449
01:35:16,238 --> 01:35:18,431
He heard you were here,
he so much likes to meet you
1450
01:35:18,547 --> 01:35:19,558
Who is Henry Dashwood?
1451
01:35:19,754 --> 01:35:22,452
No,what do you do in you
leisure time in the country all the time
1452
01:35:22,623 --> 01:35:24,694
Henry Dashwood only about
the best critic we got
1453
01:35:24,694 --> 01:35:27,512
Hen wrote a wonderful review for
your wife's book in the Spectator
1454
01:35:27,558 --> 01:35:29,383
Come along,old man,you can't disappoint him
1455
01:35:36,805 --> 01:35:41,167
Henry,this is Catherine Hamilton's husband,
Colonel Peregrine Henry Dashwood
1456
01:35:41,167 --> 01:35:42,693
-How do you do
-I am delighted
1457
01:35:43,517 --> 01:35:47,461
Is Mrs Peregrine in London by any chance?
I shall so much like to meet her
1458
01:35:47,461 --> 01:35:49,996
My wife doesn't like London
she prefers the country
1459
01:35:49,996 --> 01:35:51,316
You're a pity
1460
01:35:52,300 --> 01:35:55,888
She appeared in the last night's review
1461
01:35:59,296 --> 01:36:01,311
I was completely bowled
by her book you know
1462
01:36:02,018 --> 01:36:06,012
It's fresh and original,very modern
without being obscure
1463
01:36:06,404 --> 01:36:07,572
Yes.I suppose it is
1464
01:36:08,968 --> 01:36:12,713
She seems as much at home in
free verse as in classical meter
1465
01:36:13,353 --> 01:36:16,758
In fact I should go so far to
say that probably short lyrics of her
1466
01:36:16,758 --> 01:36:18,988
might have been written by Landor
1467
01:36:19,551 --> 01:36:20,376
Really
1468
01:36:21,816 --> 01:36:26,162
What makes the book so outstanding
is the passion and the throbs in every line
1469
01:36:27,194 --> 01:36:29,662
Naked earthy passions
1470
01:36:30,054 --> 01:36:33,708
Of course deep sincere emotions
like that is completely tragic
1471
01:36:34,609 --> 01:36:36,377
Oh my dear colonel how right Heine was
1472
01:36:36,377 --> 01:36:41,595
when he said that poets make
little songs out of great sorrows
1473
01:36:41,688 --> 01:36:46,980
You know,now and then,I read and reread
those heart rendering pages,
1474
01:36:46,980 --> 01:36:49,288
I thought of Sappho
1475
01:36:51,300 --> 01:36:55,218
It is jolly nice of you to be so nice
about my wife's little book
1476
01:36:56,397 --> 01:36:57,775
I'm sure she will be delighted
1477
01:37:02,352 --> 01:37:03,154
Idiot
1478
01:37:06,986 --> 01:37:08,800
Colonel Peregrine isn't it?
1479
01:37:09,140 --> 01:37:11,295
-I wonder if you remember me
-Of course
1480
01:37:12,744 --> 01:37:13,756
Duke of Heverel
1481
01:37:14,487 --> 01:37:16,071
We met last year in Turnbull
1482
01:37:16,980 --> 01:37:17,969
I remember it very well
1483
01:37:17,969 --> 01:37:21,431
We were so sorry your wife couldn't
come to us for the weekend
1484
01:37:21,485 --> 01:37:23,406
We are expecting rather
a nice lot of people
1485
01:37:24,440 --> 01:37:25,910
Yes.It is a pity
1486
01:37:27,365 --> 01:37:32,052
Still I suppose everybody is after her
so we can only say better luck next time
1487
01:37:50,058 --> 01:37:52,720
You can put the car away for
the night Thank you,Good Night
1488
01:38:00,162 --> 01:38:01,978
-Can I get you something Sir?
-No thanks
1489
01:38:02,147 --> 01:38:03,471
I had some dinner on the train
1490
01:38:03,900 --> 01:38:06,374
-Very good,Sir
-You can go to bed
1491
01:38:07,201 --> 01:38:08,828
-Good night Sir
-Good night
1492
01:39:19,446 --> 01:39:21,016
-Good Morning Susan
-Good Morning Sir
1493
01:39:27,454 --> 01:39:29,040
-Good Morning West
-Good Morning Sir
1494
01:39:29,783 --> 01:39:33,250
-Good Morning George.How was town?
-Oh,the same as usual
1495
01:39:34,603 --> 01:39:36,005
I just got the last train home
1496
01:40:00,291 --> 01:40:02,815
Look here Ivy What is all this about
1497
01:40:02,815 --> 01:40:04,928
our being asked to Heverel
castle and you refusing
1498
01:40:05,170 --> 01:40:06,807
I thought it would only bore you
1499
01:40:07,983 --> 01:40:10,125
Bore me? When we have never
been asked before
1500
01:40:10,125 --> 01:40:12,416
Good Heavens and he is Lord
Lieutenant of the county
1501
01:40:12,416 --> 01:40:15,675
and quite apart from this having
the finest shootings for miles around
1502
01:40:16,229 --> 01:40:19,011
I didn't think of that.I am sorry.
1503
01:40:23,589 --> 01:40:25,453
I suppose I was asked
1504
01:40:26,395 --> 01:40:28,236
Well as matter of fact you weren't
1505
01:40:28,569 --> 01:40:31,256
I think it is extremely rude to ask
you without asking me
1506
01:40:31,645 --> 01:40:33,901
I suppose they thought it was
not your sort of a party
1507
01:40:34,466 --> 01:40:37,287
The Duchess is rather fond of writers
and people like that you know
1508
01:40:37,287 --> 01:40:40,994
Henry Dashwood the critic is going and for
some reasons he wants to meet me
1509
01:40:42,654 --> 01:40:45,578
It was nice of you to refuse Ivy
1510
01:40:46,249 --> 01:40:47,365
It was the least I can do
1511
01:40:48,673 --> 01:40:50,936
George.My publisher rang up yesterday.
1512
01:40:50,936 --> 01:40:53,596
They are giving a little party
for me on Wednesday
1513
01:40:53,691 --> 01:40:55,394
And of course I want you to come too
1514
01:40:55,727 --> 01:40:57,531
I don't think that's quite my mark,you know
1515
01:40:58,190 --> 01:40:59,373
Sounds a crushing bore
1516
01:41:00,943 --> 01:41:04,095
I would like you to come.We can go
out to London in the morning
1517
01:41:04,178 --> 01:41:08,849
Can't manage that I am afraid.
Wednesday is the Hunting committee 3 o'clock
1518
01:41:08,849 --> 01:41:11,220
I couldn't be able to go town to 7 o'clock
1519
01:41:12,044 --> 01:41:15,489
I'll tell you what,you make a day of it
I'll come up to the party
1520
01:41:16,192 --> 01:41:17,271
It would be sweet of you
1521
01:41:17,271 --> 01:41:20,888
Not at all.I got to be in town
on Thursday anyway
1522
01:41:39,745 --> 01:41:40,982
-Colonel Peregrine?
-Yes
1523
01:41:40,982 --> 01:41:44,599
My name is Martin and
your wife's publisher.I'm so glad..
1524
01:41:44,607 --> 01:41:45,538
You were able to come
1525
01:41:46,906 --> 01:41:49,617
I think Mrs Peregrine is over here,yes
1526
01:41:51,105 --> 01:41:54,788
You know we haven’t had a success like
this in a book of poems for 20 years
1527
01:41:55,009 --> 01:41:56,411
I've never seen such reviews
1528
01:41:56,603 --> 01:41:57,404
Oh John
1529
01:41:57,866 --> 01:42:01,124
Let me introduce colonel Peregrine
Katherine Hamilton's husband
1530
01:42:01,724 --> 01:42:03,888
This is John Coleman of our New York Office
1531
01:42:04,913 --> 01:42:06,844
You must be a very proud
man Colonel Peregrine
1532
01:42:06,912 --> 01:42:08,362
Oh,yes I’m.Of course
1533
01:42:08,683 --> 01:42:11,051
This book of your wife as
something out of this world
1534
01:42:11,217 --> 01:42:12,841
It will be a smash hit back home too
1535
01:42:13,179 --> 01:42:15,081
It's the biggest thing we handled in years
1536
01:42:16,276 --> 01:42:17,558
Oh,wait,Steve
1537
01:42:20,195 --> 01:42:22,448
Are you really EK Hamilton's husband?
1538
01:42:22,669 --> 01:42:24,678
You know I think you are a
very privileged person
1539
01:42:24,740 --> 01:42:27,166
to be able to sit at the feet
of such a genius
1540
01:42:27,166 --> 01:42:30,170
I don't know when I was so
moved by her book
1541
01:42:30,418 --> 01:42:32,339
I read it through twice the
distinguished settings
1542
01:42:32,339 --> 01:42:36,757
and now I never let a day pass
without reading at least once
1543
01:42:36,757 --> 01:42:38,798
Oh,really.How nice.Excuse me
1544
01:42:45,383 --> 01:42:47,101
I have to lock the room when I read it,
1545
01:42:47,197 --> 01:42:49,361
Make you quite naked
if you know what I mean
1546
01:42:49,588 --> 01:42:52,484
Well I must say I keep my bok off
I don't want my husband to find it
1547
01:42:52,507 --> 01:42:53,517
Might give him ideas
1548
01:42:53,748 --> 01:42:55,251
But that's what I find so fascinating
1549
01:42:55,251 --> 01:42:57,192
apparently her husband doesn't
mind it at all
1550
01:42:57,207 --> 01:42:57,932
He must surely
1551
01:42:58,151 --> 01:43:00,023
But he can't do he is actually here tonight
1552
01:43:00,063 --> 01:43:02,427
-You are not serious
-Yes.As a matter of fact I've seen him
1553
01:43:02,457 --> 01:43:04,274
Johnny pointed him out to me.He is
1554
01:43:20,053 --> 01:43:24,291
You're wonderful dear.Make quite a hit.
The girls were raving about you
1555
01:43:24,291 --> 01:43:25,888
They thought you were so handsome
1556
01:43:25,888 --> 01:43:29,930
-Girls? Old hags
-You bored?
1557
01:43:30,249 --> 01:43:30,891
Stiff
1558
01:43:31,730 --> 01:43:34,394
Do you mind if we wait and go on
the evening train tomorrow evening?
1559
01:43:34,394 --> 01:43:35,854
I have a few things I want to do
1560
01:43:36,903 --> 01:43:41,924
No.That would suit me very well.
One or two things I want to buy
1561
01:43:41,924 --> 01:43:48,048
I have a to get photographed.I hate
the idea but they think I ought to be
1562
01:43:48,725 --> 01:43:50,010
For America you know
1563
01:44:07,286 --> 01:44:08,357
Can I help you Sir?
1564
01:44:08,838 --> 01:44:10,593
No,I was just looking around.
1565
01:44:11,264 --> 01:44:14,819
By the way have you got a book
called "The pyramides decay"?
1566
01:44:14,819 --> 01:44:16,686
No I am sorry,Sir,we are
completely sold out
1567
01:44:16,711 --> 01:44:18,492
We are expecting a new edition any day now
1568
01:44:18,492 --> 01:44:19,583
Is there another edition then?
1569
01:44:19,583 --> 01:44:22,482
Yes.Sir,5th.Might be another away selling
1570
01:44:23,172 --> 01:44:25,296
-Can I order you a copy,Sir?
-Yes,please
1571
01:44:27,446 --> 01:44:30,286
Carol Peregrine,St James's Club
1572
01:44:31,023 --> 01:44:32,821
Why do you suppose it is such a success?
1573
01:44:33,305 --> 01:44:35,262
I've always been told that no
one reads poetry
1574
01:44:35,262 --> 01:44:39,392
No.This is good,you know,I read it
myself.It's the story they like
1575
01:44:39,392 --> 01:44:42,931
Sexy but tragic,hot stuff
but it's literature
1576
01:44:44,480 --> 01:44:45,074
I see
1577
01:44:45,113 --> 01:44:47,953
Of course this is only the flash in
the pan,if you know what I mean
1578
01:44:48,032 --> 01:44:51,545
The way I look at it she must have been
inspired by some personal experience
1579
01:44:51,545 --> 01:44:55,490
like husband with a fractured leg,
she'll never like anything else
1580
01:44:55,490 --> 01:44:57,976
Look here,you needn't worry
about that order.
1581
01:44:57,976 --> 01:44:59,952
I think I know where I can borrow a copy
1582
01:45:10,158 --> 01:45:12,877
George,I brought that book for you,
is that all you wanted me for?
1583
01:45:14,278 --> 01:45:16,901
No Daphne,no.Of course not
1584
01:45:18,302 --> 01:45:20,542
Look George I'm awfully good
at listening to husbands
1585
01:45:20,542 --> 01:45:22,612
whose wives don't understand them
1586
01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,104
As a matter of the fact it
was about the book
1587
01:45:27,266 --> 01:45:29,414
There was something a
young chap in a bookshop said
1588
01:45:31,218 --> 01:45:32,576
Something I noticed last night
1589
01:45:32,576 --> 01:45:33,721
What did he say?
1590
01:45:34,953 --> 01:45:40,805
Something about it being sexy,hot stuff
1591
01:45:40,805 --> 01:45:41,723
Well,this is it
1592
01:45:42,414 --> 01:45:43,927
I've will read it
1593
01:45:43,927 --> 01:45:46,677
George,you don't mean to
say that you haven't read it?
1594
01:45:47,904 --> 01:45:50,899
As a matter of fact no
1595
01:45:51,823 --> 01:45:53,352
George you're the end.
1596
01:45:53,352 --> 01:45:56,855
You mean your wife can write the
luscious book since "Lady Chatterley"
1597
01:45:56,855 --> 01:45:58,332
You don't even trouble to read it
1598
01:46:01,354 --> 01:46:03,989
Daphne. You read it?
1599
01:46:06,168 --> 01:46:07,096
What's it about?
1600
01:46:08,332 --> 01:46:09,903
You want me to tell you?
1601
01:46:10,494 --> 01:46:13,221
Really George I'd much rather
You will feel so
1602
01:46:15,367 --> 01:46:16,183
Please tell me.
1603
01:46:19,305 --> 01:46:20,353
Let's go over there
1604
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:30,143
-You're sure you want it?
-Yes.Please
1605
01:46:38,046 --> 01:46:39,460
Remember you asked for it
1606
01:46:41,030 --> 01:46:44,025
-Don't hold it against me afterward
-I won't
1607
01:46:47,524 --> 01:46:48,504
It's
1608
01:46:52,789 --> 01:46:54,973
It is sort of love story
1609
01:46:58,333 --> 01:47:00,376
Only it's all told in first person
1610
01:47:00,376 --> 01:47:03,601
so you believe it's actually happening
when you read it,you see what I mean?
1611
01:47:04,074 --> 01:47:07,252
The person who is telling the story
is a middle aged woman married
1612
01:47:07,252 --> 01:47:10,053
and she falls in love with a younger man
1613
01:47:10,666 --> 01:47:11,562
Much younger
1614
01:47:12,682 --> 01:47:14,921
And she first meets him,she likes him,
1615
01:47:14,921 --> 01:47:17,608
she doesn't believe he could
ever be interested in her
1616
01:47:18,016 --> 01:47:19,515
not in that way
1617
01:47:20,651 --> 01:47:22,449
One day he tells her that he is
1618
01:47:23,386 --> 01:47:27,005
and ask her to leave her husband
and go away with him
1619
01:47:28,037 --> 01:47:30,659
She is pretty much in love
with him by this time
1620
01:47:31,448 --> 01:47:34,632
She doesn't believe it can last,
so she says no
1621
01:47:36,176 --> 01:47:38,904
It doesn't make any difference
to the young man
1622
01:47:39,461 --> 01:47:40,996
He still keeps on seeing her
1623
01:47:40,996 --> 01:47:45,729
and soon they reach the stage
they can't do without each other
1624
01:47:47,508 --> 01:47:48,768
But they don't
1625
01:47:49,645 --> 01:47:53,486
She keeps telling herself it'll all
be over in a few weeks
1626
01:47:54,546 --> 01:47:55,962
It isn't
1627
01:47:56,749 --> 01:47:58,812
In fact it gets worse instead of better
1628
01:47:59,883 --> 01:48:02,099
Soon there are meetings two
or three times a week
1629
01:48:02,505 --> 01:48:05,381
In fact whenever she can manage
it without her husband knowing
1630
01:48:06,796 --> 01:48:12,825
And then just when she is sure is the real
thing,and she decide to go away with him
1631
01:48:14,389 --> 01:48:15,838
He get's killed
1632
01:48:16,519 --> 01:48:19,675
She just has to go on giving
dinner parties,
1633
01:48:19,675 --> 01:48:22,835
running the house as nothing had happened
1634
01:48:24,564 --> 01:48:25,429
That's all
1635
01:48:27,298 --> 01:48:31,167
Except it makes you feel it's
actually happening to you,it so real
1636
01:48:31,223 --> 01:48:33,971
I don't mind telling you when I read
it I spent half the time crying
1637
01:48:33,971 --> 01:48:37,974
and half the time getting in a state
of..you know what I mean
1638
01:48:39,364 --> 01:48:40,705
She must have made it up
1639
01:48:41,290 --> 01:48:44,538
Read it,and ask yourself whether
anyone could have made it up
1640
01:48:45,681 --> 01:48:47,408
Ivy is too much of a lady
1641
01:48:48,789 --> 01:48:52,066
She couldn't do a thing like this
1642
01:48:55,813 --> 01:48:56,352
Let's go
1643
01:48:56,352 --> 01:48:58,372
Aren't you going to finish your drink?
1644
01:48:59,189 --> 01:49:00,456
I don't want it ,thanks
1645
01:49:03,485 --> 01:49:07,282
I'm sorry Daphne,I must get away
1646
01:49:30,368 --> 01:49:34,629
" This is magnificent but hardly suitable
for children,you know what I mean"
1647
01:49:35,401 --> 01:49:39,659
"It's selling like hot cake,
itchy,earthy passion"
1648
01:49:39,659 --> 01:49:44,721
"I would like my husband to
write it,sexy but tragic"
1649
01:49:45,185 --> 01:49:46,863
"Hot stuff but literature"
1650
01:49:55,342 --> 01:49:59,457
"Ivy is too much a lady,she
couldn't do a thing like this"
1651
01:51:17,035 --> 01:51:18,646
Mr Blane will see you now Sir
1652
01:51:19,246 --> 01:51:21,260
-Mr Blane will see you now
-Thanks
1653
01:51:26,012 --> 01:51:27,365
-Hello,George
-Hello,Harry
1654
01:51:27,365 --> 01:51:29,866
What brought you here?
Had a good time in London?
1655
01:51:29,866 --> 01:51:30,767
Yes.Thanks
1656
01:51:30,767 --> 01:51:32,840
I'm taking my Mrs up for a few
days next week
1657
01:51:33,839 --> 01:51:34,970
How is Ivy?
1658
01:51:35,454 --> 01:51:38,671
It's Ivy I've come to see you about
1659
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:41,221
Have you read her book?
1660
01:51:41,797 --> 01:51:43,013
Yes.A great success isn't it?
1661
01:51:44,763 --> 01:51:47,430
Since Ivy breaking up into
poetry,wonders will never cease
1662
01:51:47,547 --> 01:51:49,132
It's made me look as a perfect fool
1663
01:51:49,589 --> 01:51:51,615
Nonsense.No harm in writing a book
1664
01:51:51,615 --> 01:51:52,956
Isn't there?
1665
01:51:53,499 --> 01:51:55,283
When it's her own story?
1666
01:51:55,397 --> 01:51:56,225
Who says it is?
1667
01:51:56,225 --> 01:51:57,830
You know perfectly well that it is
1668
01:51:58,300 --> 01:51:59,681
and so does everyone else
1669
01:52:01,753 --> 01:52:05,938
I suppose I'm the only one who doesn't
know who her lover was
1670
01:52:06,652 --> 01:52:08,036
I wouldn't jump to conclusions
1671
01:52:08,036 --> 01:52:10,738
there is nothing to say that she
didn't make up the whole thing
1672
01:52:10,960 --> 01:52:14,388
I suppose she'd written a story about a
murderer,would that make her a murderess?
1673
01:52:14,721 --> 01:52:16,555
Look here,Harry,be honest with me
1674
01:52:16,555 --> 01:52:20,333
Can you look me in the eye and tell
me that you believe it's a made up story?
1675
01:52:21,706 --> 01:52:23,767
You've no right to ask me
a thing like that,George
1676
01:52:24,711 --> 01:52:25,450
Ask Ivy
1677
01:52:27,319 --> 01:52:29,113
-I dare not
-Why not?
1678
01:52:29,769 --> 01:52:31,437
I'm afraid she would tell me the truth
1679
01:52:33,661 --> 01:52:35,088
-Harry?
-Yes
1680
01:52:36,519 --> 01:52:37,724
Who was the chap?
1681
01:52:38,973 --> 01:52:42,619
I don't know.If I did I wouldn't tell you
1682
01:52:42,871 --> 01:52:45,628
I've got to know.I've got to
1683
01:52:46,739 --> 01:52:51,063
Look here.You have private
detectives you employ I suppose?
1684
01:52:51,392 --> 01:52:54,256
It doesn't look a pretty thing to put
detectives on to ones own wife
1685
01:52:54,256 --> 01:52:57,524
Which is not a pretty thing for her
to carry on an affair behind my back,is it?
1686
01:52:57,605 --> 01:52:58,966
In any case the man is dead
1687
01:52:59,389 --> 01:53:00,794
How can I be sure of that
1688
01:53:01,220 --> 01:53:03,546
Let me be the only untruthful
part in the whole book
1689
01:53:03,546 --> 01:53:05,690
I've got to know,Harry,you must help me
1690
01:53:05,690 --> 01:53:07,809
I won't do it,George,besides
1691
01:53:07,809 --> 01:53:09,520
if Ivy finds out that you've been putting
detectives on to her
1692
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:10,740
she'd probably leave you
1693
01:53:12,094 --> 01:53:13,039
You want that?
1694
01:53:13,993 --> 01:53:16,566
No,why should I?
1695
01:53:17,162 --> 01:53:21,024
She runs the house perfectly,
we never have any servant trouble
1696
01:53:22,123 --> 01:53:25,856
She's done wonders with the garden and
she is splendid with the village people
1697
01:53:25,961 --> 01:53:29,597
But how could I go on living with her when
she has been so grossly unfaithful to me
1698
01:53:30,018 --> 01:53:31,436
You don't know that for certain
1699
01:53:31,538 --> 01:53:33,726
Then why on earth did she
write that wretched book
1700
01:53:33,771 --> 01:53:35,638
I suppose she had some
very pointed experience
1701
01:53:35,638 --> 01:53:37,495
and it was a relief to get it off her chest
1702
01:53:37,502 --> 01:53:40,302
Why didn't she have the sense
to write it under an assumed name?
1703
01:53:40,992 --> 01:53:43,594
She used her maiden name and
expected that would be enough
1704
01:53:44,422 --> 01:53:47,138
And it would have been if the book
hadn't had this amazing vogue
1705
01:53:47,138 --> 01:53:49,287
What am I going to do Harry?
1706
01:53:50,360 --> 01:53:51,344
What would you do?
1707
01:53:53,621 --> 01:53:55,154
Nothing
1708
01:53:56,098 --> 01:53:56,939
Nothing?
1709
01:53:57,657 --> 01:54:00,781
But I can't overlook a thing like that,
I've been made a laughing stock
1710
01:54:00,781 --> 01:54:04,944
Nonsense,old boy,now listen,
the man is dead,
1711
01:54:04,944 --> 01:54:08,077
it all happened along time ago,forget it
1712
01:54:09,674 --> 01:54:12,297
Talk to people about Ivy's book,
rave about it
1713
01:54:12,814 --> 01:54:14,575
Let them know how proud you are of her
1714
01:54:15,832 --> 01:54:20,281
The world moves quickly and people's
memory is short,they’ll soon forget
1715
01:54:21,569 --> 01:54:23,570
-I shan't forget
-Yes you will
1716
01:54:23,927 --> 01:54:28,126
No,I shan't forget as long as I live
1717
01:54:30,927 --> 01:54:35,013
I suppose you're right,it's no
good crying over spilled milk
1718
01:54:37,415 --> 01:54:39,252
I'll take your advice
1719
01:54:40,538 --> 01:54:44,337
The truth is I don't know
what I do but I leave it
1720
01:54:51,292 --> 01:54:54,038
But there is one thing I shall never
understand to my dying day
1721
01:54:54,038 --> 01:54:57,175
What in the name of heaven did
the fellow ever see in her
1722
01:55:05,349 --> 01:55:07,490
I'm sorry you are angry
about the book George
1723
01:55:08,335 --> 01:55:11,191
If I had known what would happen
I'd never published it
1724
01:55:11,371 --> 01:55:12,958
What difference could that have made
1725
01:55:14,242 --> 01:55:16,080
It would have saved you being annoyed
1726
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:20,697
Annoyed? When a man learns that
his wife been unfaithful to him
1727
01:55:20,697 --> 01:55:22,645
When she publishes it to the whole world
1728
01:55:22,702 --> 01:55:25,349
That she has carried on a degrading
love affair behind his back
1729
01:55:26,107 --> 01:55:28,602
You expect him to no more then annoyed
1730
01:55:28,602 --> 01:55:29,978
-But George
-Ivy
1731
01:55:29,978 --> 01:55:34,374
In 30 years of married life we've
never sunk to vulgar quarreling
1732
01:55:35,866 --> 01:55:39,218
When this thing happened I
was stunned,amazed
1733
01:55:40,245 --> 01:55:42,889
These last few days I've
lived in a state of horror
1734
01:55:43,947 --> 01:55:45,286
and utter shame
1735
01:55:46,675 --> 01:55:50,595
Today I decided that silence was the only
decent and possible course for me
1736
01:55:51,396 --> 01:55:54,237
But now that you've spoken I shall speak
1737
01:55:54,555 --> 01:55:58,579
I'm entitled to ask one question
and to receive a trueful answer
1738
01:55:59,930 --> 01:56:03,691
Who was this man and is he really dead?
1739
01:56:04,511 --> 01:56:08,105
Because if,who was he? For heavens
sake tell me and have done with it
1740
01:56:09,634 --> 01:56:10,698
It was you
1741
01:56:12,051 --> 01:56:12,658
Me?
1742
01:56:14,427 --> 01:56:17,939
-Yes
-Don't insult me with lies
1743
01:56:17,939 --> 01:56:24,692
It was you,as you were,all those years
ago,in those happy days
1744
01:56:24,692 --> 01:56:28,729
when we first met,you loved me
1745
01:56:28,729 --> 01:56:31,582
But you said in this book that he died
1746
01:56:32,855 --> 01:56:36,352
He did.The man who loved me died
1747
01:56:38,673 --> 01:56:43,924
It was my fault, George, I didn't
understand all the things he was fond of
1748
01:56:44,786 --> 01:56:46,420
Farming,hunting,shooting
1749
01:56:47,150 --> 01:56:53,236
I couldn't get any children that he wanted
more than anything else in the world
1750
01:56:54,203 --> 01:56:56,107
I failed
1751
01:56:57,891 --> 01:57:04,323
And as time went by I only had the memory
of those few short years when I was happy
1752
01:57:05,291 --> 01:57:10,133
and I knew if those memories died,
everything was dead
1753
01:57:11,264 --> 01:57:16,322
and so I just wrote them
down,just as I felt them
1754
01:57:17,028 --> 01:57:18,417
That I might always have them
1755
01:57:20,199 --> 01:57:23,904
But you describe him, a young
man and yourself as old
1756
01:57:25,402 --> 01:57:27,397
I was old
1757
01:57:28,294 --> 01:57:34,426
But the man who loved me was young,
memories are always young
1758
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:37,121
Are you telling me the truth?
1759
01:57:39,932 --> 01:57:41,351
Do you believe I am?
1760
01:58:04,594 --> 01:58:06,577
Now you've seen all these stories
1761
01:58:06,577 --> 01:58:08,709
I should be happy if they've given you
1762
01:58:08,709 --> 01:58:11,774
as much pleasure to see
as they gave me to write
1763
01:58:12,379 --> 01:58:16,768
To start I told you that I'd
used in my writings
1764
01:58:16,768 --> 01:58:21,084
pretty well everything that has happened
to me in the course of my life
1765
01:58:21,946 --> 01:58:24,396
It's been a long one and varied one
1766
01:58:24,396 --> 01:58:28,046
I think I have learned a little
something about human nature
1767
01:58:28,645 --> 01:58:32,443
and I've tried to tell what
I knew to others
1768
01:58:32,443 --> 01:58:35,616
as honestly and as truthfully as I could
1769
01:58:37,616 --> 01:58:43,397
You,the public have been very kind to
me but sooner or later we must part
1770
01:58:44,063 --> 01:58:46,387
I hope we shall part good friends
1771
01:58:48,644 --> 01:58:58,031
