You

Oh

I don't know if I can afford a price here in Liverpool today.

We've done business together now for years.

I hope we will again.

Leave me.

You know, better price.

Sats.

There are a fund loaded.

So, did it agree?

No, there's not.

I bet you could die.

Up with it.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, here.

Captain Baines.

Sir, can't hold this jute back on board again.

What?

What?

You heard me.

But why, sir?

So when is the plastic jute falling in Liverpool?

We'll take it on the scratch.

If you say so, sir, lay there, Charlie.

Look out, man!

Come on!

You're all right.

Not the wind out of me, sir.

Yeah.

Give me a hand.

Oh, oh, oh.

What is it for?

We are.

This is my, isn't it?

183, it's 22, 10.

Hey.

You should have a clerk to do that.

Claps cost money.

What are you doing, Sir?

Well, I hear you're going to open another workshop down on the key.

You must be employing at least 30 women.

Yes, I am, but there's not as much profit as I hoped.

Well, why is that?

The tone sacks you must buy for a song, and the cost of repairing them is trifling, surely.

Three aprons?

Three aprons?

Oh, letty.

You must be out of your mind.

My semstraces work 60 hours for 15 shillings a week.

I only hope they don't get to hear of the rates you're paying.

Sarah, I can't stay long, the estimator's docked.

Then I'll come straight to the points.

My committee is raising funds for his demons.

And you want James to contribute?

Well, after all, he does make his livelihood from them.

That's true.

Well, I'll have a word with him.

Look, for a substantial contribution, his name would go down on the list of benefactors.

Say that, huh?

Huh, that must be Robert with a carriage.

I told him I'd be here.

Oh, thank goodness you're still here, letty.

I don't wish to distress you, but I understand there's been an accident on board the Estellosa.

Thank you for coming so promptly, Dr. Watson.

Good night.

How does it feel?

It hurts a bit.

But the butler I'mma so dull the pains.

Got me a lodgings ashore.

Yeah.

There's no need, I can stay here.

A couple of times, open down the ship's ladder and you'll soon bust the other out.

Oh, I can manage.

Come on, man, I'll spell a shoulder, you good.

Warm bed, some good food, you'll soon be fit again.

You know, you feel enough in the answer.

Who will let him do, he's just turned me soft.

Here, if it's money, you're worried about something.

No, no, no, no, not bad, sir.

I've got a few pounds put away for a rainy day.

Well, the trouble with you is your so thick skin that you don't know when it's raining.

James?

James?

Down here.

James, are you all right?

Hi.

It's Captain Banks, yeah.

Well, thank heaven, you're all right.

Oh, I'm sorry, Captain Banks.

That must have sounded very unfeeling of me.

There's no need to worry about me, Miss God.

I've just been told I got aye to sit and say, I'm nauseous.

Daniel, have you sent William on some errand?

No.

Does he still resisting your attempts to make a horseman out of him?

Yeah, I'll stand woody if you might have taken over the day to day running at the office.

Well, Steve and I have time on my hands.

Well, you fill your time riding and arranging dinner parties.

William doesn't.

He's growing restless and it could lead him into mischief.

Now, as we're opening this new office in London, why don't we send him there?

What?

Well, put him in charge of it.

Give him a chance of responsibility.

William, run the London office.

Well, Elizabeth, in a few years, he'll be running phrases.

Well, yes, I know, but London.

Now, don't worry, Mr. Fowler's promised to keep an eye on him.

You've spoken to Mr. Fowler of this?

Yes.

I see.

So, having first gained the approval of a clerk, you then dained to consult me.

After all, I am only the boy's mother.

Elizabeth...

Daniel, you go too far.

Give you an inch and you take a mile. You want everything your way.

Arrange my life, arrange my son's life, arrange the business.

Elizabeth, will you listen?

I will not.

We must discuss this.

There you go again. Tell you what to do.

Well, it's a high time.

Someone did.

I thought we employed a housekeeper to do that.

Well, if you must know, I've got the board sitting about waiting for you.

I've got you, said you've been gone.

Well, now, that's not the only good bit of news.

After I left Harris, I went to the club.

I met old George Avery.

Now, he's gone over to steam, as you know, entirely so.

Whoa!

He's got a couple of ships laid up in Scotland.

So, I'm buying him off him. Or a song.

So, apart from the jute, it's been a mouth.

Let's do it.

Jute?

Hi. I've discovered why the plasma cargo's gone down.

Some idiot has been mending all sacks.

If they ever discovered his meeting like this,

they'd probably ship me after Australia or Jamaica or somewhere.

What'd you go?

It hasn't happened.

But if it didn't happen,

then I'd say yes.

I'd say yes.

There you go.

It's just a thing.

They'd probably ship me after Australia, or Jamaica, or somewhere.

What'd you go?

It hasn't happened.

But if it doesn't happen,

then it won't happen.

What's your fault?

It's just a thing.

It's a thing.

Well, the thing is you'd have to do with it.

It's just a thing.

It hasn't happened.

But if it did, would you go?

Or would you fight to go and see me?

Well...

Yes!

Yes, of course!

Well...

Perhaps we should tell our parents.

Yes, but when the time is right, that's more important.

Oh, William...

I do love you.

Oh!

Robert, it's magnificent!

Hi.

Yes, it's a monument to a lifetime's hard work.

That is something to be proud of.

And so you should be.

I only wish Samuel could see it.

Oh, he shall. I've engaged a photographer.

When it's only right that he should see his inheritance,

he can compare it with what he sees in America.

Oh, I'm so glad he settled down so well over there.

He seems to be enjoying it.

You'll do miss him.

Oh, come on, Sarah. We both know he's capable of standing on his own two feet.

Oh, thank goodness for my committee work.

Otherwise, I'd be forever worrying about him.

Well, by the way, I've put your name down on my subscription list.

Subscription for what?

I told you last week for the Siemens home.

Oh, there's one across the river.

I know that, but we need one in the dock area.

Oh, you'll be lucky if you found a site for that.

I found it.

And I've been delegated to negotiate for it.

I'll be seeing James tomorrow.

Once James got to do with it.

He owns the building.

Now, what shall I put you down for?

50 or 100 guineas.

10.

10?

Oh, Robert.

You're a substantial figure in Liverpool.

And for a subscription of 50 guineas,

your name would go down on the list of benefactors

and be published in the newspapers for all to see.

Oh, what did it now?

I did the dinner.

Yes, of course.

Close the door, please.

Elizabeth, I know that changeability is part of your charm.

Daniel, we have a very serious problem on our hands.

The business?

No, William.

He's upstairs changing for dinner,

so we don't have much time.

Well...

William spent...

Oh, he's my son as well.

Anyway, why talk of marriage?

That's quite out of the question.

Cousins do marry.

You know full well that any child of such a union could be...

Well, that's, uh...

That's a chance and a thousand.

It's a chance.

I refuse to take.

No, the answer is quite simple.

We follow your suggestion and we send him away to London.

Oh, now that it suits your book.

I want you to tell him about it tonight.

Sorry if I kept you waiting, Mama.

I didn't realize you were dining with this, sir.

Oh, neither did I until an hour ago.

William, your father has some very important news for you.

There are news that we'll keep until after dinner, Elizabeth.

You.

Mound and sucks out there in the stable.

Oh, Lettie's got another building on the key as well.

Oh, has she?

And tell me, how many women do you employ?

30, but I'd like to take on more.

Oh, Lettie was thinking of using that old warehouse of yours on Perk Street.

Oh, was she?

Well, that old warehouse is worth a lot of money.

But it's falling down, even the bank can't sell it.

It happens to be on a site that the harbor board will be wanting in a few years' time.

Oh, yes, but in the meantime...

I'll go halfway across the world.

Fitchback a cargo and jute only to find the jute!

You are, Charlotte. I told you it'd blame me.

Well, of course I blame you.

How else do you account for the fall and the price?

Oh, James, I've thought about that.

And I can't believe my few...

Don't you realize that others have began to follow suit?

Shall I bring in the coffee?

It's always the same.

Whenever I try to do anything on my own...

Well, why'd you have to do anything on your own?

Well, what am I supposed to do?

Play Keep House for a man who's never here,

play Mother to Charlotte?

Well, why?

Look, why can't you just be a...

Be a woman?

Gonna bring the coffee in, Charlotte.

Oh, if only you two are SUBSCRIBING it!

Well, in other...

Now see what you've done.

All you want me for is a doormat.

Oh, rubbish.

Is it?

You don't like me doing anything on my own.

You've been grudged me the success I've had with the mill.

No, I do not.

And Williams' engine, you treated as a joke.

Well, so it was, just playing a being an engineer.

I'd have few good ideas of support.

Well, he would have had much...

Ah, you mean like a...

No.

No, that I can't be.

I certainly have no intention of being a pale reflection of Anne or Needin.

Well, it's about time I did something about that.

She's been watching over me ever since I've stepped foot into this house.

Yeah, what are you doing?

She's dead, James! Dead to everyone except you!

You put that picture back!

No!

What...

I know I dare you still love her so deeply here.

How don't?

No.

I believe that where it is.

James, I've always known I could never take our place.

I wanted to do so much and all I've done is hurt you.

I hate you. I'm sorry.

No, I deserved it.

No, no.

I don't forgive them.

17 years.

All the things are shut up, sir!

James!

I'm not Anne and I never will be.

But I'm here.

No.

London. But why?

Because London is the fastest growing port in the world.

The phrases can't afford to be left behind.

The experience will do you good?

No. No, I'm sorry, my mind. I don't wish to go.

Is there some special reason why you should remain in Liverpool?

Yes!

It's the head office of the company. I am to inherit.

I can gain all the experience I need here.

Or is there something else behind this suggestion?

It wasn't a suggestion.

What do you mean?

I thought that as you were here so often, say you might find my presence an embarrassment.

Don't be so impertinent to your father.

My father, yes, mother, but not your husband.

That's where the difficulty lies for you as well as me.

Go to your room this instant.

And you can start packing immediately.

You'll leave for London first thing on Monday.

Elizabeth...

I will not tolerate such rudeness. Go to your room!

I don't think that was very wise.

You realize what the boy was implying?

Well, of course I do.

But you allowed yourself to get diverted.

Your prime objective is to ease William away from Charlotte, but gently.

And by forcing them apart, you'll only increase their determination to go on seeing each other.

Well, in that case, I shall probably go to London with William.

Why?

Take him out and about. Introduce him to more suitable young ladies.

In any event, you don't need me here.

Well, I most certainly do.

Nonsense. You can run the office perfectly well without me.

I'm not talking about the office, Elizabeth. I'm talking about us.

Oh, damn it, woman, what do I have to do to prove that it's you I care about?

I want you to be my wife.

And you want William to accept you as a father?

Well, if possible, yes. Is that so wrong?

No.

No.

It's just that I've worked for everything I have.

I don't think I could ever be entirely dependent on any man.

And if I surrender to you, Daniel, that's exactly what I'd be.

Dependent.

It has to be close to the waterfront, in an area that a seamen frequent.

And as the harbor board have brought up all the available sites,

the committee have agreed that that old warehouse of yours on Burnt Street

would make an ideal place for a seamen's home.

I see.

And just how much is your committee prepared to offer me for it, huh?

Offer?

Ah.

You didn't expect to get it for now, did you?

Well, as the place is almost falling down, we thought you might make it over as a gift.

A gift?

Oh.

Oh, what do you think, Miss Gaunt?

Well, it's a very worthy cause, but isn't it a foundation home across the river?

Yes, there is.

But if we had another seamen's home, we could stamp out those dreadful crimping houses forever.

Now, what do you say, James?

I'm sorry, Sarah, but I have a use for the building.

Oh, no, James. This is much more important, James. Let's say I have it.

Most of it.

Very well then.

You can have it.

Oh, thank you, James.

For £10,000.

What?

Oh, yes.

As you said, it's a very rare sight.

But, James, £10,000, that's a ridiculous sum.

James, you can't miss.

Most certainly do.

I'm sure Sarah's committee can raise them on a while.

There's plenty of people in Liverpool only willing to give to charity.

He's his their conscience, raises their prestige.

I had hoped you might be one of them.

Well, I might be plenty of things, Sarah, but I'm not a hypocrite.

James, I don't really need that building.

Well, I've been thinking about it, and...

Well, I think you could make a profit out of that place.

I need to be sarcastic.

I'm not.

It's showing you my faith in you.

£10,000, Sarah.

Well, it's not a bad sum for a doorknob, does it?

Doorknob, what's he talking about?

I think he was trying to pay me a compliment, Sarah.

Charlotte.

Charlotte?

Charlotte?

I didn't know who it was, so I hid.

I got in my told letter.

I was going to the shop.

Now, what's happened?

I'm being sent away.

No.

To London.

Well, when?

Our wages, I think, I'll leave on Monday.

Why?

You think I could have discovered even meeting or something?

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

I don't think so.

It's for business reasons.

It's so cruel.

I know.

Of course I know.

I don't want to go.

But now I've had time to think it over.

I can see their reasons.

I mean, the city of London is the commercial centre of the world.

William, you do want to...

Charlotte, I don't.

I told you so.

Well, then tell them about us.

As further if we can be betrove, surely they won't send you away to London.

I didn't think your father would like the idea, Charlotte.

You don't love me, do you?

You say you do when it comes to asking my father?

I didn't say that I wouldn't.

Then you will.

I decided that the man is right.

Of course.

Now I must go before I missed.

Come to tea.

Let you own mind.

Will you father do you own?

Oh, of course not. Bye-bye.

That's most impressive.

I congratulate you, Robert.

You obviously put a great deal of thought into this.

Oh, I have indeed.

There won't be another place like that in the north of England.

You're going to cost you a pretty penny?

Fifty thousand pounds.

And that's for the building alone.

I've already forked out five thousand from the side.

Time was you to lay in a wake at night because you'd bought it ten pounds.

Ah, that's true enough.

Perhaps I have changed, annual.

At least I've come to realize that the one thing I'm good at is shopkeeping.

If I am to be a shopkeeper, then I'm going to be the biggest.

And the best. Thank you.

Well, here's to your new department store.

Oh, thank you.

How much do you want to borrow from me, Robert?

Borrow. Oh, nothing.

No, I've already arranged alone with Harris at the bank.

No, I simply thought that as you have so much financial interest in my affairs, that it was only courteous to let you know what is proposed.

Of course, I would prefer it if I was under no financial obligation to you.

Yes, that's true.

Are you a gambling man, Robert?

Well, just a few shillings on the national at entry, you know.

But...

Go on.

Go on.

Heads of terms.

Heads?

Congratulations, you've won.

I've won what?

No, good business, man, should also be a good gambler.

You're no longer owe me a penny.

There's £10,000 here.

You can't just throw it away.

I don't believe it.

There's a catch in that somewhere.

No catch.

There's got to be.

In all my life, nobody has ever given me out for now.

Well, there's a first time for everything.

You see, your sister is always accusing me of only thinking about business and money.

I intend to prove for wrong.

You've certainly done that with a vengeance.

It'll give me great pleasure to tell us.

Good. I was hoping you might.

Are you quite sure?

The agreement is terminated.

Then I got to figure it in thinking and ended up by fighting myself here.

Yes, time passes.

Wonderful, join you.

No, a car snark. Come on.

Goodbye.

You've forgiven us, but it's missing you.

Lord, bless your mother. It was a long time ago, and it never doesn't need good to go on a harboring a grudge.

Some people do.

At the end of all twisted inside.

Is this part of your figuring?

Right.

Sally?

A beautiful lady, but I've quite fallen in love with her.

It's a fissure, man. I've been thinking about you.

I'm becoming a fisher and you.

You're not there, perhaps, but it's no bad thing for a man to think of the future.

See, I have no intention of ending up like some masses I know, sitting on a key and gazing out to see,

waiting for someone to buy him a glass of porter for the price of a few yards.

No, I'll not finish up living on memories and charity.

I can't see that happening to you, Bates.

Oh, we're going to happen to anyone. Not you, of course, because you were all provided for.

Do you have any relatives?

You know, my niece died last year. It's inferior.

It took her and the children all in one week, so it was just me.

You know, it's Elizabeth.

If I had my time over him, there's just one thing I'd really like.

A son.

You'll never be feeling sorry for myself in a minute.

You count your blessings, Captain Baines.

You were born a man. You've no need to be dependent on anybody.

And he just tore it up.

He did?

Perhaps Elizabeth's driven him mad.

Well, nobody in their right mind knows.

It was a lack of pure philanthropy.

And he is immensely wealthy.

Well, he won't be for long if he keeps on giving away his money like that.

Perhaps that's what he wants.

Well, I shall simply put his name at the head of my list.

That 10,000 is a godsend.

Now, if I can only persuade James to buy my leaving shares.

There's another one that's gone mad.

Do you know how much he wants for that old warehouse in Burke Street?

£10,000.

Does he be yours?

I'll not get it from my committee.

Well, that's a pity.

Why?

Well, because if he did, he could hardly refuse to buy my needing shares.

Now, goody.

Never mind, Sarah.

Don't give up.

You might find some philanthropist who's willing to give his money away.

James, all I ask is that you reconsider.

No business venture would be worth £10,000.

I know.

Well, then, let them have the building.

I will, if they pay my price.

You see, to spark what you say, I do put a value on you.

What a high one.

I know what you mean, and I'm very flattered.

How much you always value things in terms of money?

Why not?

Hmm.

A good way of measuring one's achievements.

Degrees of success, failure.

Money's quite a good yardstick, you know.

You know, I don't think I'll ever understand you.

You're yourself who's out there somewhere on the ocean.

A secret world that I know nothing about.

But why not find out?

Yeah.

You've never been to see of you.

No.

Well, then, a couple of weeks since Scotland, do you good?

Wouldn't do shall it any harm, either.

Well, you know what Aunt Mary wants her to go and stay there.

Oh, come on.

She can stay with Aunt Mary any time.

What do you say?

I'll think about it.

Oh, woman, I'll sell it to mother Marnie.

Well, by then, I will have thought about it.

Of course, as soon as the sailors come off a ship, the crimps pound some.

They fill them full of gin and then they introduce them to...

to, uh...

well, to...

one bed, good food, very little cost.

There'd be no profit made out of them.

And how much do you want?

Well, as much as you feel able to subscribe.

Of course, the property we're after, and it's the only available site.

That alone is going to cost £10,000.

What is it? A mansion?

In the country.

It's a derelict warehouse.

But they do tell me it's going to be valuable one day.

Very well.

I'll arrange that a banker's draft for £10,000 be sent to your committee.

However, there is one stipulation.

What?

We call it the Prince Albert Foundation Home for Seaman.

But there's one call that already across the river.

Yes.

And shortly there'll be several others.

Oh, come on, Robert.

Simon, I've got all day, you know.

This is a legal document, and knowing you, I intend to read every word of it.

Luke, I've explained to you what it's about.

I'm forming a company for those two ships that aren't by.

We'll still be in control.

No, I can't agree to that.

Well, it's not a wise move.

I'm not asking for your opinion.

No, you're asking for my signature.

Luke, I'm sailing to Scotland tomorrow.

Well, I hope you have a pleasant voyage.

Would you like a glass of wine before you go?

No.

If you so.

Robert, oh, Robert, you're not just yet.

But this gets out.

But we're not through yet.

Did you, where did you get what you went for?

Very much, sir.

Good.

Well, we're not belong.

Good day, James.

Mm-hmm.

No, don't, sir.

Are you sure you won't have a glass of wine?

It's an excellent, didn't it?

No, come on, let's get down to brass tacks.

What's your price?

Price.

Hmm.

I presume you want something in exchange for your signature.

Erm, no, I'm merely exercising my rights as a shareholder to say no.

Well, what if you weren't a shareholder?

But I am.

What's a vow to buy you out?

I'm not so sure that I want to be bought out.

No, the Canadian line for once is free of debt, and you're already buying a...

A little weight?

Yes.

You stop calling me child in front of William.

You're not careful, my girl. I'll call you something else.

William, I'll know.

I won't go.

Yes, you will.

It's either Scotland or Aunt Mary's.

And if you go there, I don't get to go to Scotland.

So just for once we'll do what I want.

Erm, sure, William, does the wish to hear us squabbling?

Oh, I'm sure he finds it quite enlightening.

Okay.

My hand.

Well, why shouldn't we get betrothed?

Because you're too young, that's why.

What?

The people get married at our age.

Charlotte, he's your cousin.

Our but was Queen Victoria's cousin.

That's royalty.

They do all sorts of strange things, and that's beside the point.

No, the point is he loves me and I love him.

You think you do?

I know it may seem real.

You mean I have to wait till I'm as old as you?

I think we'd better wait and discuss this when you're in a more reasonable frame of night.

I hope you've both kissed and made up.

Yes, no. We'll get no help from Lessie.

Help?

When you ask to pay off my hand.

Look, I think you'd be the best.

I think you'd be very unwise.

Why?

Why should I tell you she'd wanted to?

She could have persuaded father.

Now listen, both of you.

You're both very young.

And I think your wisest cause will be to wait for a few years.

You see, it's always what they want.

William.

No, I'm afraid I'm rather inclined to agree with Charlotte, Miss Gordon.

At home, I'm always being told what to do, and it's always for my own good.

Oh, William, I knew he wouldn't go back on your word.

I'm sorry.

Time you were leaving, William.

He has something to ask you first, Papa.

Well,

I think I'm getting the hang of it.

But you've worked so hard all your life.

And so have you.

Would you mean fear is that you'll end up with nothing?

Am I right?

Well, it could happen.

I know.

And that is why I've made over half my phrases, shares, to you.

What?

I've realized how much you would hate being dependent on me.

And now you don't have to be.

Perhaps we might have dinner tonight.

Just the two of us.

Yeah, let's steal a home.

Oh, it's me.

Elizabeth, this nonsense has gone on far enough.

James, what's happened?

Well, well, tell your mother.

I simply asked if I might become betrothed to Charlotte.

You did what?

Without consulting us.

I warned you to keep him away from Charlotte some time ago.

Now, where our son is concerned, James, you don't tell us to do anything.

It's my daughter that he's been courting on the sly.

Did you deny it?

I am aware they've been seeing one another.

You knew about this, and you did nothing about it.

It's Charlotte that's been doing the enticing, not William.

So that's why I'm being packed off.

You keep quiet, I'll deal with you later.

I will not keep quiet.

If you imagine that I'm going to let you ruin my life and say nothing, then you're very much mistaken.

Go to your room.

You can talk from here to eternity, but Charlotte and I will get married whether you like it or not.

I said go to your room.

No.

Who do you think you are to order me around?

I'm your father. That's who I am.

Now, do as you're told.

I'm taking Charlotte with me to Scotland.

William is also being sent away.

We'd already decided upon that.

Where are you taking him?

You leave that to us, James.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him.

I will marry him. I will.

And I don't care what you're about to say.

You won't stop her.

Charlotte, don't be so silly.

You know, full well, you can't marry without your father's permission until you're 21.

But then you may feel very differently about William.

Never.

Well, if you feel that strongly, there's no need to get betrothed, is there?

See, that's not the point.

Are you afraid that William might change his mind?

Well?

He's a determined old man.

And as Charlotte seems equally determined to disregard our wishes, I see no alternative,

but to keep them apart for a while.

That's all my fault.

I should have kept a stricter eye on her.

No.

You can't be expected to be a governess and a businesswoman.

No more Ken Elizabeth would be expected to be a mother and run phrases.

Are they sending William away?

Aye.

So when you return from Scotland, you'll go and stay with your Aunt Mary.

I've sent her a telegraph.

Father, if you think that's never forgiven me for being born a girl.

Did you talk to him?

No.

He's locked himself in his room and as I have no intention of talking to a closed door,

I've left him to his solitude.

Besides which, you invite him to dinner.

Well, yes, but under the circumstances.

I think it's better if we leave him to think matters over.

In a few years, he'll be free to walk out of my life.

And I don't intend being left with just memories, Daniel.

Now, don't fuss, Sarah. It's only James I'm going to see.

But it's an occasion.

At least it is, in my eyes.

Only if that letter has arrived.

Now, you're absolutely sure you're posted.

I told you the secretary signed it and I posted it myself.

Good.

On second thought, Sarah.

It is an occasion and therefore I think we ought to celebrate it accordingly.

I think we'll take our luncheon at the Adelphi.

Will you book us a table there?

Aye.

Very best.

Oh, bad. It's all gone down to the ship, James.

Good.

I'll be down.

Sarah's committee have accepted.

Give him the £10,000.

For the warehouse.

It can be so stupid.

Oh, well, when you're spending all the people's money, you can be as stupid as you like.

Now, the point is, do I accept her?

To seriously mean you wouldn't accept £10,000 for my sake.

What I thought I'd made that clear yesterday.

Oh, for heaven's sake.

I can find somewhere else leaving if I can't.

It isn't the end of the world.

Of course you must accept.

Thought that this might be an opportune moment to continue our little conversation of years today.

Well, I got the smell of it of you.

Well, yes.

See, no zoo. Me that started the hair.

Oh, was it?

Well, I knew what all it would end up in.

Anyway, let's talk about my own eating share, eh?

Yeah. Well, £8,000, I said.

Yes, and I indicated that I was willing to let you have them for £20.

18, you said?

Yesterday.

James, I have just put £10,000 in your hands by means of Sarah's committee.

You were offering me 8. That makes 18.

And I'm asking for £20.

Oh, look, Robert, this is family.

No.

This is business.

Well, I can't give it to you because I haven't got it.

James, down in that harbour you've got three ships loading con goods.

Do you want me to tell you how much you've laid out on them cargos?

Because I can. So don't plead poverty with me.

You've been ferriton around my ships.

Our ships.

20, you said?

Is it a deal?

Good. Now we're both three men.

Send the papers around tomorrow.

Fine.

Oh, by the way.

It just occurred to me that, er, as you're going away and rather than you're closing all this house up,

Sarah and I could come and live here while we're looking for someone else to live.

You've got enough?

Ah, well, that's because I've got a little bit of brass in my pocket.

No?

Well, it was just a thought.

All right, then.

Ta. Good morning, that's it.

Come on, now.

Now, is that quite clear?

Crystal, clear, Mama.

Good.

Then I think we should say no more about the matter.

You seem to have taken it for granted that I agree.

I don't.

You will do as you're told.

No, Mama, I will not.

And either you nor my father can make me.

If you're not careful, my boy, it won't be London. You'll go to but Australia.

Yes. I thought that might be your reaction.

But then I'm only under your control until I'm 21.

Then phrases becomes mine.

But if you make me wait that long to marry Charlotte,

I shall make sure neither of you take a penny out of this business for the rest of your lives.

If you imagine for one minute that you can drive us.

You must first. I think we should hear him out.

You should.

I've had all night to think about this matter.

If I'm allowed to marry Charlotte now, I will sign over sufficient shares for you to have a controlling interest in the company.

Phrases will always be yours.

And if we refuse.

If you refuse, phrases will mean no more to you than the colours on the funnel of a steamship.

I see. Learn.

You will leave for London on Monday. On your own.

Well, he certainly knows what he wants.

Yes, sir.

Probably end up owning an empire.

It looks as though we'll end up owning 35% of nothing.

I never have believed willing to behave in such a...

Well, of course, he's over wrought. He'll come to his senses.

I think not Elizabeth. He's like you. He won't go back on his word.

He's a very determined young man.

James, once prophesied, I'd end up in a dressmaker's shop.

Perhaps I ought to start looking for suitable premises.

Why leave the world you know?

Elizabeth, there's a ship built his yard across the water.

It's run down going for the song.

We could build it up together. Just you and I.

Beakful potters.

Hey.

A bit of our dogs are stronger bored that cabbage, will you?

They must be here.

I definitely saw that some broader bored, Charlotte.

You couldn't leave shows the main chest.

Oh, for heaven's sake, girl, stop sulking.

You can't go to Scotland without me clothes.

She's not going to Scotland.

What?

I've just heard a telegram.

Art Mary's leaving for London and she wants Charlotte to join her there.

London?

I'm gonna go.

OK.

Johnson?

Get the gangplank in board.

I give the captain my compliments with you and tell him to put the sale at once.

How about a glass of wine?

I think I ought to get my things ashore first.

He'll be safe soon.

Plenty of time for that.

What was that?

What was what?

James, you can't sell yet.

You don't want to miss the tie, do we?

Oh, but I've got to get up.

James, you turn back this instant.

I was under the impression I wanted to come to Scotland with me.

But I can't come here now, Charlotte. It's not come.

Well, let me show you some of that secret world you said that I came from here.

I don't think I'm gonna let this sensation.

Well, I can't help that.

Oh.

No, can I promise you a calm passage?
