Welcome back to talks about this school

BUZZER

Herner!

Kelly with her.

A wonderful display of that mystic.

Woman.

Just look at that dress.

Shameous.

Elizabeth!

Welcome home.

When did you get it?

You look splendid.

It's absolutely the latest fashion direct from Paris.

Do say you like it, out of it.

Only a blind man could fail to express his admiration.

Miss Callan, what's the matter?

Thank you for entertaining voyage, Mr. Fogarty.

My pleasure, Mrs. Fraser.

Of course, I shall never wear a crinlin again.

They are so de monde.

What was that wretch doing aboard your ship?

She was a passenger.

Pass and you're indeed.

Now let me tell you, Daniel Fogarty.

No, Miss Emmett Callan, I will not permit you to tell me.

Not here, not in public.

You wish to raise your voice like a fish wife, then do so in the privacy of my office.

There's nothing more than a long fortune of coincidence.

You would not trust her an inch.

On the way back from Paris, she took passage aboard the first ship bound for Liverpool.

She is a faithless creature and has proved so in the past as you well know.

And it got preserved me from spiteful and jealous women.

I had reason for jealousy once.

Or do you choose to forget that she was once carrying your child?

I would forget the sooner we are not so bent on constantly reminding me.

One reminder, sir, has a romantic notion that our holiday hoist got the discretion of the name of womanhood.

We will board the ship for a day and a night.

In the company of twenty seamen and seven other passengers.

And I can assure you that at all times both Mrs. Fraser and myself behaved with the utmost circumspection.

You sure it was not but a coincidence?

Of course it was a...

Although I wouldn't put it past James or Needing.

What?

Well, the end of the phrase would like nothing better than to cause a rift between you and I.

Mr. And Eden's away.

And Mr. Fraser is too honorable a gentleman to risk his wife's reputation.

Then it was a coincidence. Are we agreed?

Sorry, Daniel. I know I'm green-eyed with jealousy but I can't help it.

For Emma.

Well, there's only one way you can save me from the wiles of designing women.

You must... you must name the day.

I do wish you had consulted me earlier, Mrs. Orni, Dean.

It was nothing, Doctor. Just a stitch. Slatter deck of stomach cramps.

Would you imagine to be one of the disorders to which your sex is subject, hmm?

Yes.

Well, not hide it from me, Mrs. Orni, Dean.

This disorder is a more serious nature and is directly connected with your recent miscarriage.

And you know your medical history over the past four years has been, well, not good.

Oh, that was nothing.

Pain Mrs. Orni did in his part of God's mercy.

And we ignore his warnings at our peril.

You have a fine house, servants to do your bidding.

You're more fortunate the most.

Yes. James is a good husband.

And an affectionate one?

We hold each other in very high regard.

If that is your meaning.

That is not my meaning.

Oh.

I will speak plainly, Mrs. Orni, Dean.

And in no circumstances must you bear children.

I cannot have a child.

Ever.

I did not say that. I said you must not.

But my husband, he so longs for his son.

Out of the question. I'm sorry.

Can I say? How can I possibly tell him?

I can spare you that embarrassment.

When Mr. Orni didn't get back. No!

I shall tell him myself when he's returned.

The visiting ship to the only hospitality we have in this Godforsaken port.

You've been to Santa Barbara for a cat.

No, no. This is my first experience.

I'll make it your last. Thank you.

I've known worse.

Ah, they're Veenell. Every last one of them Veenell.

I think your pardon, Captain, was a boat repression.

That'll be his nips.

He's over.

Sayibin Salim.

Calls himself a sheep.

What do you call him?

A scoundrel, sir.

A scoundrel.

Sheik Sayibin Salim.

Salah, Captain O'Nita.

Greetings, your excellent sir.

Captain Frank's.

It is a pleasure to meet you again.

It's a one-sided pleasure. When do I start discharging cargo?

The last Captain, the letters are not yet free of their other...

There'll be no more presence, no more backsheesh.

Is that clear?

Such small offerings as you have made from the goodness of your heart

have the blessings of Allah.

Not another dime.

Now you start your boys alloting my ships right now.

Or you're gonna have my console breathing down your neck?

Sheik.

Good day, Captain.

Pleasure.

The Americans are a fourth-right race,

but they do have an unhappy tendency of exporting their virtues

as well as their goods.

Wise man acknowledges the customs of a strange country.

Well, your excellency, will you take a seat?

Thank you.

Can I offer you some refreshment?

I regret my religion forbids the taking of alcohol.

Well, man, doesn't but I never did take much to John Barleycorn.

This climate.

I prefer lemonade.

That I find most unusual to a captain.

It is my experience that most Europeans drink not so much to satisfy their thirst,

but to inflame their passions.

It is unwritten that the fruit of the zacham tree

shall truly be the food of sinners.

Like scalding water, it shall simmer in his belly.

You are a true believer, Captain?

Oh, no, I'm not of the thing.

It is also written.

He, the to reveal is the Koran, shows the piety of his heart.

Ah, well, I bought a bit more than piety.

Have you finest America?

Twenty such roles.

There's a gift for your excellency.

Also for your excellency?

A small gift smells even the path of the ranches.

Most thoughtful, Captain.

What for, Captain?

How many bearers of Mericani do you have for sale?

Twelve thousand such roles.

Two hundred cases of muskets and ammunition.

All at a fair price.

A fair price, Captain, is one that gives satisfaction to both parties.

What is your first price?

Well, now.

For how many roles?

Back here, back here.

Mr. O'Nedin.

Yes, that's right.

Mr. Robert O'Nedin.

Yes, I am.

My name is Mitchell, sir.

My card.

Mr. Mitchell, you're a tea merchant then.

Yes, but that is not the purpose of my business.

I'd hope to have the privilege of meeting Mr. James, O'Nedin.

Oh, well, I'm afraid you've made a fruitless journey, sir.

My brother is away.

Yes, I understand.

That's why I came to see you.

Oh.

Well, if I can't be of any assistance, I...

Yes, I'm a shareholder of the O'Nedin steamship line.

Oh, well, sir.

Mr. Mitchell, I am very pleased to make your acquaintance.

Yes, during my brother's absence, I am responsible for the business affairs of the company.

A responsibility you share with a Mr. Fraser and your chairman, Mr. Fogarty.

That's quite right, yes.

Oh, George.

I do only inline directors normally conduct their business in the street, Mr. O'Nedin.

I do ask your pardon, sir.

Would you come this way, please?

This is my wife, Mr. Mitchell.

You do?

My pleasure indeed, ma'am.

You'll find us in a pretty pickle of my brain.

Tea, please, Rachel.

You must have to say, oh, Mr. Scholz.

Oh, Mr. Scholz.

Oh, Mr. Scholz.

Oh, Mr. Scholz.

Oh, Mr. Scholz.

Mr. Scholz.

Mr. Scholz.

Mr. Scholz.

Mr. Scholz.

Oh, I do apologise for the disorder, Mr. Mitchell.

Oh, one of the contrary, it's I should apologise for calling a section inconvenient moment.

I do understand, Mrs. O'Nedin, that business does not stand upon ceremony.

Oh, would you care for a glass of wine, sir?

That's very kind of it.

Excuse me.

It is so inconvenient to simply have no way to turn.

Excuse me.

Oh, Rachel.

So you're a shareholder, you said, then, Mr. Mitchell.

Well, you've invested wisely, sir.

I think not, sir.

The company has us yet paid not one penny, in dividends.

Oh, well, it will, sir.

It will, but not until the ship is launched.

And if you'll forgive me saying so, Mr. O'Nedin, that seems to be taking an unconscionably long time.

Your health, sir.

Yes, well, of course, erm,

Mr. Fraser is our designer, and I can assure you that I have the utmost confidence in him.

Yes, I have taken the liberty of calling upon Mr. Fraser, and indeed upon Mr. Fogarty,

but neither gentleman was at home.

The matter, therefore, rests with you, Mr. O'Nedin.

Oh, oh.

What matter?

Oh, unforgivably remiss of me.

No, I wish to dispose of my shares.

Oh, oh, well, then, if that is your wish, sir, far be it from me to, er...

How many shares do you have on offer?

Five thousand.

Five thousand?

But that's the five percent that James needs in order to regain control of the company.

Thank you, sir.

I'm sorry, I'm not working on that, right?

Thank you, sir.

So you have shares on offer, sir?

And what price are you asking?

Are there an offer to the highest bidder?

Oh, good morning.

Good morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Fraser.

Yes?

I just come from Mr. Robert O'Nedin's premises.

My name is Mitchell.

The highest bidder. It's outrageous.

Well, who can blame the man?

He knows well enough that whoever gains control of those shares gains control of the company.

Well, we can't possibly afford to buy this.

Oh, it's out of the question.

I mean, all these extensive repairs and alterations will take every penny of our capital.

Oh, where is James? Why isn't he here?

That foggy will seize this opportunity with both hands.

You mark my words, and James has nobody to blame but himself.

Excuse me.

No, no, no, no. You find a way of forcing the blame onto me.

You mark my words.

Well, what can you do?

The price that Mr. Mitchell is asking is quite beyond our reach.

Well, even if we had them money, I mean, I mean, foggy to you without bidders.

Well, sir, there's only one thing for it.

What do you think you know of now?

Well, I have to send a cable to James, tell him to come home straight away.

And whatever happens, Mr. Mitchell must not find out that we don't have the money.

But he'll call again.

Of course he will, but we won't be here.

What?

We're taking our holiday, and we're taking it now.

I approached the other shareholders and persuaded them to sell to me,

and now you're offering them for ten thousand pounds.

When you paid only two thousand five hundred for them.

Well, they controlled those shares, madam.

They controlled the company.

Your husband's position, I would have thought they, some of ten thousand pounds,

a remarkable small amount to pay in the furtherance of a lifetime's ambition.

I don't know what my partner's reaction to your offer would be,

but in my opinion, the shares are not worth half that sum.

Well, what do you suppose?

They might be worth to, um, Mr. Fogarty.

Have you already approached him?

Not yet.

But you intend to.

Well, obviously.

I must warn you, sir, that Mr. Fogarty is a man with a heasty temper.

Should you have the temerity to approach him the way you've approached me,

he may very well picture through the nearest window.

I shall simply have to take that risk.

Have a good day to you, sir.

At just a moment, Mr. Mitchell,

it would appear, sir, that you're not particularly well informed.

The struggle for control of the O'nead In line is between James O'nead In and Daniel Fogarty.

Will those two gentlemen hold the purse strings?

So you've nothing to lose, and perhaps much to gain by awaiting James O'nead In's return.

Thank you, Mrs. Fraser.

Perhaps I might take your advice.

Oh, good day to you.

I cannot see what you hoped again, beyond setting James and Fogarty at one another's throats.

James has yet to be bested in a bargain.

He will rest those shares from Mr. Mitchell by fair means or foul.

I don't know how anyone can possibly work enough, hand-of-home you.

It applies the imagination.

And that heat, it must ruin the pitch.

Listen.

What is it?

The steam hammer.

It started on the keel.

Why, Mr. Fogarty?

The overstep your authority, Fraser.

Ah, the great pan-jan from himself.

Hot foot from the guards in a dam.

I understand that you've given instructions on behalf of the company to lay at the keel of Miss Steamship, the works in progress.

On whose authorization may contract stipulates the time to design and build a steamship.

The designs are completed, but the specifications have yet to be agreed upon.

There have been agreed upon.

Between myself and Mr. Robert and Eden.

Robert.

We're merely carrying our generous instructions.

Do you have these instructions in writing?

Robert, can't.

I'd take it up with him if I were you.

Come with me.

Not so fast, Fraser.

You're disturbing the company's seat.

If you'd oblige me by removing your hand, I'll overlook your borish behavior for once.

If you pair of louts must braw, kindly do it in pride.

I'll put your arm, if you please.

The innit is settled.

Yes, we are agreed.

However, having disposed of one cargo, I should much like to pick off another.

For the purchase of which you will require my good offices?

For which you will be rewarded, amply.

It is a pleasure to transact business with one of such delicate understanding.

Come.

Well, that's a requirement.

Corporal.

Hides.

Ivory.

It should all be arranged.

And in return, you shall perform for me one small service.

Oh.

A party of my countrymen wish to make the Holy Pilgrimage to Mecca.

Pilgrims?

Oh, board of British.

It's not the harbor of Zanzibar, full of dows only to eager for such traffic.

A dow will carry but a dozen.

And the journey north to the port of Jiddah is long and arduous.

What would they have fair be?

We would have to discuss that, of course.

Just pilgrims?

No freight, no cargo.

But, of course.

Well, I had hope to go south via the Cape, you know, and then on home.

Why not to return by way of Suiz?

Our sailing ship pulled us out.

Out of the question.

Meat is not unknown.

A steam tug could tow your ship through the canal.

A steam tug?

That would blow pretty all in my profits.

It would considerably shorten your journey.

Well, I thought I'd stop off at Natale, top off with cotton, you know.

Egyptian cotton is of better quality and is available at port site.

And I could drop off your pilgrims on the way.

Exactly.

Side.

Well, as your profit in this.

I mean, are not pilgrims poor men who shift for themselves, right?

Indeed.

But these have booked passage through me.

And what do you charge them for taking them to Jiddah?

Two pounds ahead would be your payment.

Two pounds ahead?

No worth of trouble.

For 250 pilgrims, Captain.

Hmm.

Eat a telegraph address to you.

Just come by way of your consulate.

By your dolt.

By once, whatever the cost.

Get our excellence, say.

I almost returned to Liverpool at once.

Then you must go by way of suis.

It seems I'll otherwise has resolved our problem.

Very well, I'll take your pilgrims.

Four pounds ahead.

Agreed.

Cash in advance.

You've been brought, low daughter.

Very low.

Oh, nonsense, father.

It's nothing more than a woman's ailment.

I should be up and about shortly.

It was all this rubbish you were dosing yourself with pills and potions, quackery and mumbo,

not worth the powder and shots.

What you want is a glass of brand-aid porche go.

There would be the colour back in your cheeks.

Robert was kind enough to bring me a bottle of medicinal wine.

No doubt sampled the contents himself first.

Pause, life pill.

From sad.

Gotta teach a prolonged life animate to be chosen and invigorate the body.

Eternal life until it's a box.

Tough easy, Nick's here.

From Mr. Baines.

Well, recall how even that spoon needs to be when I was a boy.

It's the new little arm, father.

You'll outlive us all.

What, Ailesie child?

What really Ailesie?

I've told you.

So you have.

But at times you can be as close mouths as that husband of yours.

Where that devil is he?

On his way home.

Robert sent him a telegraph.

Robert, regard for the rogue, but I'll give a giddy at this moment to see him standing in that doorway.

Did he pass me my purse?

Yeah.

Here.

Good luck, money.

I lost all taste for charity.

It's not charity.

You know perfectly well that James and I were first married.

He struck a bargain that you would not want in your old age.

Well, he's kept to that bargain.

I'll round him that.

I've everything I need and nothing I want.

I'll become a well-dressed beggar with his hand eternally outstretched.

Would you prefer a settlement, say two guineas each and every week?

Well, he'd never agree to that.

It'll be arranged in writing this time.

You're writing?

Why unrighted?

For your own peace, Amanda, course, why else?

For yours, perhaps.

Your disembling child.

Oh, teh-y guineen, go, father.

I know it must be burning a hole in your pocket.

That silly law of mine is kept to the letter of his bargain simply because you've always been here to see that he does.

Is that your fear?

I don't know what you mean.

Oh, oh, my mitts.

Can you pass my mitts, l? Is that a little brown bottle?

Well, all of them is the pain that's about as that then.

Oh.

Oh, they're chir- there, there, there.

There.

The time for prayer approaches.

Would you be kind enough to indicate the direction of Mecca, Captain?

Thank you, Captain.

Allah will reward you.

You might use your influence and ask for some win.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

You might use your influence and ask for some win.

The wind blows, where and when are our wins?

These pilgrims of yours, all Negroes, all true believers are equally the eyes of Allah.

Your true believers are going to have some difficulty directing their prayers, aren't they?

Directing?

What old?

Being enclosed, as they are, how can they tell north from south or east from west?

They are instructive.

Sayeed, if you've turned me into a slaver, not Allah had better be forgiving and merciful.

I won't.

Britu, bring in that chicken as well.

Were you? It's on bottom shelf, they're looking.

Oh, yes. The cargo manifest of the charlotte road, scuffed in veins.

Load of bricks for the Isle of Man.

Yes, that's right, Captain.

Oh, thank you. Another fruit.

Mr. Needon's special treat.

We clear on the next tides.

That's right, Captain.

Ten doors.

Now, what are you waiting for?

What are you returning, cargo?

Well, Rachel, do slice that ham thing, love, will you?

What?

Return cargo.

Well, whatever we can pick up.

Is this all right, then?

In my brother's absence, Captain Baines, I'm responsible for ship management.

I shall therefore take this journey with you, just to keep an eye on things.

But if it's only a load of house bricks...

When we reach the Isle of Man, Captain Baines, I will conduct the business affairs.

Mr. James has always trusted me, sir.

I do wash your hands, girl.

We're combining business with pleasure, Captain Baines.

Pleasure, ma'am.

Yes.

During these extensive alterations, we are taking a well-earned holiday, Captain Baines.

So I will thank you to see that our luggage is safely stowed aboard the Charlotte Roads. Thank you.

Right. Standby's and we're ship.

Down, down, Quartermaster.

What are you doing?

I'm taking advantage of the offshore wind.

But, Captain, the port of Jitter lies in that direction.

Ah, but the wind is blowing in that direction.

But if we keep on this course, we cannot put into Jitter.

Well, if you're excellency so aptly put it, the wind blows, whether, other, will.

But you signed a contract and gave your work.

Yeah, to carry pilgrims. You lied to me.

You falsified the contract, therefore I'm no longer bound by the turns.

Then you have no choice, Captain. There's no port open to you, but Jitter.

My country's law is bare down heavily upon those of traffic and slaves.

You put both me and my ship at risk.

Not input into Jitter, Captain. There is no risk under Arabian law.

Only profit, eh?

You ship them out at four pounds ahead and then sell them for forty.

Well, that is business. We can come to an arrangement.

We shall, sir. We shall.

You make me run a double risk.

Let me see now. Under Zanzibar law, you are allowed to keep slaves,

but you must not export them or import.

Pendulatives for such transgressions are quite severe.

You're not thinking of returning them to Zanzibar.

Risk being held by British or American worship.

Within it would seem your choice is limited.

Put into Jitter, Captain. Take your profit and thank Allah for his beneficent mercy.

Once, I'm not concerned with profit.

It's easy to be noble when you've been paid in advance.

I shall put them ashore on the coast of Africa.

Let them take their chance. They will starve.

And you will give them money. Help pay their passage on?

He pay their passage.

Why not? You'll drop into this.

I will not give them money.

Nukas, I shall put you ashore with them.

They will kill me.

As your excellency, sir, I'll be observed. Your choice is limited.

Oh.

Are they you paying stay aboard until soo is?

For tomorrow I put you ashore with your own pilgrim.

I prefer Swiss.

But, Captain, do not ever return to Zanzibar.

I'll be here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I'll be here.

I'll be here.

Let's go.

Hey, sir.

I've seen a friend, Mr Mitchell.

Ten thousand pounds, yes, for them.

Precisely the summy name to me.

Obviously, you had to refuse.

I've found the money.

But he wanted to try me, you see, if I'd offer him more.

And did you?

No, he said he'd wait until James all need him returns.

He tends to play off against each other.

Well, I'm in Nori.

I've waited long enough for those shares. I can wait a few weeks more.

Here we are then.

Now, drink this down. It's best beef tea. I made it myself.

Oh, thank you, Elizabeth.

We'll have you on your feet and some colour in your cheeks by the time James is home.

I hope so. I hate being a burden. Nonsense.

Now, for the latest gossip.

Emma Callan and Daniel Fogarty are to be married on October the 15th.

At last, and we're all to be invited, so you'll have to be well for that.

Come here.

Oh, show the lady in, please, Nanny.

Oh, Emma Callan. No doubt she's here to receive our congratulations.

Oh, Elizabeth.

Oh, my dear, Mrs. Enidin. How are you?

Oh, thank you.

Daniel and I were so anxious when we heard of your illness.

Thank you for your concern, Ms. Callan. I've every reason to believe the patient will recover.

Oh, good morning, Mrs. Fraser. Good morning, Mrs. Callan.

What a dazzling gown. Such bold stripes. Did you make it yourself?

No, I had my dressmaker copy it from... from a London model.

The style does require an elegant carriage, of course.

Is there any news of Mr. Enidin?

Yes, he's on his way home from Zanzibar.

So you can tell Mr. Fogarty not to count his chickens.

Indeed. But is that not a long voyage?

Oh, no. James is coming home by way of the Suez Canal.

Tokebort. I'll make up pretty profit out of the canal.

I'll be back.

Off to see the sights, sir. Ma'am?

Sure, walk to stretch our limbs, Mr. Beams.

It was a terrible journey. Terrible!

Well, sir. I found us a return card.

Oh, ready?

I trust you've not committed us, Mr. Beams.

Ma'am? My husband will wish to inspect the goods for himself.

Hi. If you'll follow me, sir. Ma'am, I'm sure you'll be more than sorry, sir.

Well, my wife comes from farming stock, Mr. Beams.

I think we ought to take a closer look at your bargain.

You would do well, Mr. Beams, in future to leave business affairs to me.

Why is that, sir?

The flock is infected.

Hey, those sheep have, Mr. Beams, what we in farming circles call foot rot.

What's he doing in the Isle of Man?

He said he was entitled to a holiday and he'd be back in about a month's time.

Even the bills to pay themselves, I suppose. Somebody's got to deal with them.

If you forgive me, ma'am.

Should you be bothering yourself when you're just up from your bed?

What am I to do? Sit and watch them pile up?

Now then, you brought back a cargo of oats, barley, potatoes and monks, cloth.

It's like mutton's, but Mr. Robert Rickner had something wrong with her feet.

Well, he better discharge the cargo into our warehouse as quickly as possible, Mr. Beams.

Very good, ma'am.

If you don't mind me saying so, I think it's you that needs the holiday.

Everyone's all free with their advice. You, my father, the doctor, a business won't run itself.

Well, if Mr. James was here, he'd insist.

Well, he soon will be here, Mr. Beams.

Well, Emma, what do you think of the Pandora?

She's quite beautiful.

I've had a completely refitted and re-rigged.

She'll show a clean perd of eels to any ship out a little.

The Pandora? It's a pretty name.

All like a rich man's yacht that a working ship?

Such luxury. And who is to command this jewel of the seas?

Me.

You.

She's the set sail for the Mediterranean.

How would you like to spend your honeymoon aboard her?

Oh, Daniel. Well, that would be the most perfect beginning.

And I accused you of being unromantic.

What cargo are you carrying, sir?

A cargo Egyptian cotton.

If you just sign this paper, this clearance won't take long.

And the other form, if you will, sir. Just sign that, please, sir.

Now, what's all this about?

Easy stealth and fainting fits.

Nothing more than a gout of the stomach.

Is that what the doctor said?

So many words.

What were his words?

Female complaint.

Here.

What treatment did you recommend?

Time.

Sir.

Did you have a successful voyage, James?

Time.

If that's the best you can do, we'll get a second opinion.

I have a patent medicine which I'm taking regularly and the advised arrest.

It could be a range.

Here.

How would you like to go to Hagg?

Take the water, eh?

Take the...

James, think of the cocks.

I am.

To pay a man for a professional advice and then not take it, that's poor, business.

I can rest just as easily at home.

And I have a poor enough opinion of medicinal waters without wanting to sample them.

But you know, if you have to sample them...

Tell me about the Suez Canal.

This is one of the eight wonders of the world. What's it really?

No, just a ditch. Nothing more.

Now you tell me.

What's all this about a need in shares being on offer, eh?

It's true, James.

A man named Mitchell holds the balance of 5,000 shares.

He's only waiting for your returns so that your own Fogarty can bid against each other.

Oh, then the sooner the better.

I'll arrange for the three of us to make this afternoon.

I doubt Mr Fogarty, you'll be available.

Oh, why not?

I've just come from his wedding.

So, uh...

Fogarty now is Callin' Uncompany.

The wealth of that company in his hands.

So how can you possibly hope to outbid him?

No, Daniel, no.

We're certainly not.

Emma, be reasonably, won't take long.

You intend to take yourself off to a business meeting on my wedding day and you ask me to be reasonable.

Emma.

Mr Mitchell's waited this long. She only can wait a little longer.

Not now, James, all need in, see, eh?

Look, if I'm not there, he'll persuade Mr Mitchell to sell in those shares.

I thought you said you could outbid him.

Well, I could outbid him if I'm not there.

But it is my wedding day.

Emma, my love.

I must be there, don't you see?

Whoever gains control of those shares gains control of the all-knee, didn't lie to me.

I don't know.

No longer my love, I promise.

Mr Mitchell, how did you acquire 5,000 shares?

Peace meal. I approached the other shareholders and bought them out.

I feel here, I feel there.

It took quite a risk, didn't you?

Well, I don't know.

You don't know?

If I'm there.

No, I don't know.

I'm not sure.

Mr Mitchell, how did you acquire 5,000 shares?

It took quite a risk, didn't you?

Well, it was a sporting risk.

Oh, yeah.

Gentlemen, shall we commence the bidding?

You paid 2,500 pounds for those shares.

I would say a reasonable offer would be 4,000 pounds?

I had in mind a figure near a 10,000.

You're a rogue, sir.

No, I wouldn't agree.

Mr. Mitchell strikes me every inch of sports.

He puts his money at risk, and now he

expects to reap the reward, eh?

Thank you, Mr. O'Neaden.

You're a gentleman after my own heart.

In return, let me make you a sporting gesture.

I'm prepared to accept an opening bid of 5,000 pounds.

That.

I'm 36.

Mr. O'Neaden?

Oh, no, bid.

I'm sorry this won't do at all.

Let me hear 7, sir.

Mr. O'Neaden, you disappoint me.

You do indeed.

Oh, come, sir.

Make a match of it.

I'll make you a sporting gesture.

Mr. Fogarty here, I imagine that he's

a better ships captain than myself.

About sale, you and I do the week you're needing.

No.

Would you care to put that to the test?

Well, the moment this business is concluded with pleasure.

You're in the tea business, I understand, Mr. Mitchell.

Yes, I am, and I don't see much of it.

What's on the tea, Clippers?

Sale very soon.

To collect the first of them season's new property.

Now, Mr. Fogarty here would like to substantiate his bowl.

Most I suggest that we sail with them, and each bring back

500 tons of tea, each, for you, free of freight charges.

In return to my share, holdings.

Good heavens, no, sir.

Such a venture would yield me less than the amount

I'd already been offered by Mr. Fogarty.

Just a minute.

I haven't finished.

Now, that cargo would bring you a profit of, say, 5,000 pounds.

Now, in addition, and here's your sportsmanship,

you sell your holding at the original price of 5,000 pounds

to whichever one of us gets back to Liverpool first.

That'll give him a profit at 10,000 pounds.

Well, hmm.

Not the sportsman that they're talking for, eh?

I shall leave you with Mr. Fogarty's first offer of 6,000.

Just one moment, sir.

A race.

A race.

One that you couldn't lose.

I like the notion, Mr. Fogarty, do you accept the challenge?

Both shares as good as mine.

So, the winner of the race gains control of the company.

That's right.

And the loser?

What?

He just loses the cost of the voyage.

One of your chances.

Oh, Fogarty's got nothing to touch the Osborne.

Fogarty's got the Pandora ready to sail at a moment's notice.

He's had a completely re-rigged.

I should say that she is the fastest ship out of Liverpool.

Then I'd better start packing right away.

Packing?

Yes, James.

You're not recovered well enough yet, don't to take a long voyage.

Dr. Hollister recommended a complete rest.

I intend to take his advice.

Heh.

Good.

She's recovered.

The

Pandora has to lock gates yet.

There's blood to wash.

Don't troop it, Victoria.

Mr. Babies.

Give a long hold out of us.

Go!

China fleet, Mr. Babies.

Right.

Look around.

Still west-southwest.

We'll head the pack.

All right, all right, sir.

Well, the race is on.

Not the usual race for us, Anne.

Much more at stake this time.

Hey?
