Blackboard, I swear you'll have his blackboard from that club yet.

What will I do?

Come on Ray, man, tell me what will I do?

Oh, you see how far gone he is, he can't remember.

I've had no more than you.

Oh, no more than us.

Put together, huh?

Hey, ho.

Hey.

Did you, ho?

If all the world would pay for it, and all the sea were inked,

and all the trees were bread and cheese,

what would we do for drink?

You know, you're a different man these days are needing.

So what does this say, Johnson?

Load of hack and make it up.

Mm, it's from your mama, dear boy, to say,

why not she say, oh, that she's gone to Brighton

for a few days holiday and gives you the address of her, too?

Poor mother.

I know.

Brighton does the same for me.

No, you don't understand.

We shouldn't mock.

Listen to this, my lord.

Come into the pavilion theater in three weeks' time,

Mr. Fergus Doyle's traveling theatrical company.

MUSIC PLAYS

AIDS.

I doubt he'll ever find us.

Can't just have vanished.

Lying low, I'd say.

Ah.

But where?

Nothing from any of the agents?

No.

No divide all the small ports, too?

I've not evired everybody.

He's got to stop to call up somewhere.

Why aren't we hearing everything?

If you don't stop worrying about it.

Of course, I would be that the servants

of the fathers aren't extensive.

But you will be surprised how economical

on staff such residents can be.

One good woman and two girls and the place

will seem to run itself, I do assure you.

I must warn you, ma'am.

The place will need money spending on it.

Replumbing at the very least.

Oh, but, sir, the modest price does, of course,

reflect that we recognize that some work may be desirable.

I am not sure that this is only did

and would consider the price of that modest,

particularly for a mere leasehold.

Oh, sir.

I do consider the desirability of the neighborhood.

I like it.

I do.

I like it best of everything we've looked at so far.

Ideal as a family residence, no doubt.

That's exactly the kind of home I want the children to have.

Not some huge soulless institution.

So long as you're sure they won't be cramped?

Well, there were six bedrooms.

Mom, how many children do you have?

Not yet.

But I don't envisage more than 12 or 15.

Mrs. O'neading is to run a home for children.

Ah.

If it's for our tender to fit your chilli and railway

you've come for, you've hardly given us enough time.

We won't in possession of all the figures until Wednesday.

Would I press you so unreasonably?

Besides, I greatly doubt I shall find myself

disposed of what girls wear.

Ours may not be the lowest price.

In which case I shall content myself

with the knowledge that I'm also buying the not inconsiderable

bonus of forging closer ties with you.

Isn't that a mighty responsible, sir?

A coming from a man whose first duty

must be to his profit and loss account.

In such a soulless fellow perhaps,

but not in any lover of great beauty.

And isn't that just as irresponsible?

Spoken to a married woman.

Sometimes I do indeed wonder how Sir Daniel

can bear to be from your side.

He knows better than to force his presence where it isn't

welcome.

And I don't thank you for requiring me to say it.

So if that's all you've come for?

No, I came to beg of favor, but I probably

forfeited any right to ask it now.

Now you're going to make me feel a church.

There's a case of wine at present lying in Gibraltar,

which I must have in this country by the 20th of next month.

I wondered if you had a vessel near enough to carry it for me.

A single case of wine.

What?

Well, I can recommend any number of wine merchants.

Well, this happens to be rather a special case.

I should hope so.

It's to be for some of these birthday.

Even so, there are regular steamship

rounds from Gibraltar.

Oh, I know, but such a delicate cargo.

I wouldn't care to entrust it to just anybody.

The Mersey Maiden is due through the straights

within a week.

Will that do?

Oh, as long as the wine is in my hands by the 20th?

Oh, it will be.

I promise.

As a result of things we have heard, you understand,

we thought it prudent to seek an interview simply

in order to ascertain the truth.

Well, you'd better tell me what you've heard.

That you intend to turn the house into a home

for the children of Luce.

Of Luce, women got brilliant without fear

knowing that this is the sort of woman they may accidentally

meet.

There would be no more risk of that

than if they were going shopping or walking in the park.

This is on our own doorstep, Mrs. Andidi.

And I promise you, there will be no disorderedliness.

No nuisance.

If one of those women gets herself with child,

the best thing she can do is throw it into the Mersey.

If any woman gets herself with child, Mr. Barber,

some man is responsible.

Perhaps you're just afraid that one of the mothers

might recognize you.

How dare you.

And how dare you come into my house and try to bully me?

We are here.

This is a need in objects to our intrusion here very well.

But, Mom, we object to your purpose

intrusion in our lives, too.

And I do not agree that there will be any.

I had so hoped to avoid further unpleasantness.

Our own my business and my wife runs hot.

Oh, come, come and need it.

You really mean to imply that you have no influence over your wife, sir?

I didn't say that.

Then, surely, at least there must be some financial constraints

who might apply.

Well, you see, it's her money is using.

A woman she'd do as her husband tells her you could demand

that she gives up the whole crack-brained scheme.

I suppose I could.

And will you?

No.

You mean you're prepared to condone your wife's scheme,

regardless of the consequences?

Well, whether I do or whether I don't is my business.

But I'll tell you this, gentlemen.

Ah, don't take kindly.

To anybody telling me what my wife shall I shall not do now,

a good day to him.

It is done.

Here's to a thousand miles of Chilean railway.

I can freight it.

I only hope you can build it.

His partnership with you always such a teasing business.

Is that how you regard us as a partnership?

As the presumption offend you?

Not offend.

Not yet.

Clearly, and I do think of you as a friend.

Why does that amuse you?

It relieves me.

Because it suggests it isn't you that I'm danger of offending.

Not really you.

Only the conventions.

Which we must all live by.

What will you rank yourself with as sheep?

I think you forget how much I have to lose.

No.

But to live and risk no part of yourself might lose you so much more.

Antafioooo must alone.

Yes?

Yes Executive Gardens.

that they do in there.

How long will it take?

Three to four weeks.

Well, surely we can divert another ship.

I see.

Yes.

Thank you.

I've still undecided whether those contraptions

aren't more of an irritation than the convenience.

Well, they certainly bring bad news all the sooner.

One of my steamships has had to dock at Fagera

to have a broken propeller shaft mended.

It may take several weeks.

I'm sorry, I hope it wasn't carrying anything perishable.

It's carrying your wine.

Then it can't possibly be here by the 20th.

Well, unless I can find another carrier.

For whom was it a present?

My father.

It's his birthday on the 20th.

A case of port.

Now, what's so important about a case of port?

Look, all that matters is that that wine gets here by the 20th

and the mercy maiden is laid up in Fagera.

Now, do you have a vessel that could pick it up?

Well, haven't you?

James, would I be asking?

Oh, why me?

I'd have thought another steam line would be more.

It's sort of favour, I can just ask anyone.

And it is particularly important to me.

Oh, why?

It's a present.

Oh, for?

Charles Marston's father.

Marston?

Oh, look, James, I knew you and he hunt exactly on the best of turns.

No, why the devil are you buying him presents?

Listen from me, James.

It's a present from Charles to his father.

It's worse.

Why should I do Charles Marston's favour?

I'm asking you to do it for me.

Look, I promised to get the wine here by the 20th

and I don't relish the prospect of breaking that promise.

Well, I don't know what possessed you in the first place.

Because he's a valuable customer and I can't afford to lose.

Well, I'm expecting a cargo to implant for Portugal.

Could be this week, could be next.

Well, I can't wait that long.

Well, if you're prepared to pay for me to go out there and balance...

I'll pay you for bringing the wine back.

What do you expect me to go all the way out there, just for now?

It's a favour, James.

Well, come down to expensive what you call favours.

Please.

No.

Oh, when I get my cargo to implant, then I'll pick it up for you.

Look, wine won't fall for the keeping.

Not the first time somebody's birthday presents being a bit late.

Well, James, I just hope that you never need a favour from me.

In view of the large amount of washing, there will be.

I think you should consider building on a proper wash house at the back here.

For I doubt you'll be.

I think you should consider building on a proper wash house at the back here.

For I doubt the old copper would prove where it would on its own.

You put me to shame, Dr. Porgnid, it hadn't occurred.

Oh, if you and Mr. O'Nedin had it...

Well, that is to say.

If you and Mr. O'Nedin had been blessed with children, no doubt you would have anticipated me.

Well, soon I shall have more than I know what to do with.

And I hope I'll learn.

Hello, Mrs. O'Nedin.

Hello.

Mum.

Mrs. O'Nedin.

Good morning.

You must forgive me, Mum, but it appears I was somewhat precipitous in allowing you the key.

I fear I must ask for it back, and for you both to leave.

I am instructed that the sale just cannot proceed.

It's instructed, so by whom?

Lord Horkmore, no less.

What is he to do with anything?

He owns the freehold of this house, as indeed he does the whole neighbourhood.

But we're not trying to buy the freehold.

But he does have the power to obstruct the sale of any leasehold on properties he owns.

Should he consider a particular sale...

undesirable?

I see.

Well...

when you toast your victory, you will be able to get the money.

When you toast your victory, I hope you'll always remember it whose expense it was won.

Children.

Little children.

You can't help how they come into this world, or who their parents are.

I am sorry.

I have tried. There just appears to be no one who can guarantee to get the wine here by the 20th.

Highly your fault.

Well, I feel as though it is.

You did, of course, know that your ship's propeller shaft would suddenly break.

Brandi?

Thank you.

Will it be a great disappointment?

Perhaps you think it petty, but we're a very close clan, we are marzons.

We tend to set great store by anniversaries.

Father will be 70 next month.

Thank you.

It doesn't seem petty at all.

You must meet him, and mother.

Though you might not take to her.

But I guarantee you'll be beguiled by him as he will be by you.

Being no mean connoisseur of female beauty.

Well, no doubt the occasion will arise. One day.

Is the port of vintage he particularly admired?

Oh, yes, indeed.

In 1790, for the very first time, port was shipped to this country in bottles.

Not casks.

Father was fortunate enough to inherit some of those very bottles from an uncle's cellar.

When he drank the last six years ago, and every sip was a sweet torment to him,

knowing that once that bottle was gone, he drank away history.

And lying aboard your shipping for Guerra is probably the most valuable case of port wine in the world.

Does your father know?

What a lovely present.

Oh. He deserves it.

He's the sort of man who earns his central respect rather than demands it.

I don't think my brothers or I ever even contemplated buying our father a present.

He didn't care about us and we didn't care about him.

And my son never bought Daniel any presents either.

Elizabeth, I'm sorry. I didn't think that that...

I'll have that wine here for you by the 20th.

Trust me.

No, plenty.

If he has the right to say, who shall buy those houses?

No, shut.

He has, I've checked.

Well, there's little point in carrying on farting then.

Soon you start looking for another house, look at that.

Have you any idea how many houses I've looked at since I started?

Besides, suppose I did find somewhere else just as good who to say that all this won't happen again.

No.

I shall write to Lord Horkmore. He must be to all the truth.

Won't do no good.

Then I shall go and see him.

I must do something.

That way, I thought being alone needed meant one never gave in.

At least that's what you've always told me.

It's no good.

Still waiting for me, Cargor of Tin Plate.

I think I'm going to change your mind for you, James.

Not unless you're prepared to pay for me to guard and balance, Jean-

I've just received a cable from one of my masters in Fagera to say that the Mersey Maiden has had to dock alongside another steamship, also undergoing repairs.

And the name of this other steamship is the Black Pearl.

You wouldn't try to trick me, you know, would you?

Would I be so foolish?

Fagera.

Of course you do, really.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure.

Fagera.

Of course you do realize that it will cost me money to guard that and balance.

And do you realize that if it weren't for me, you might never have found that?

All right, all right.

I'll go out there, pick up your wine.

And have it back here by the 20th?

Aye, aye.

I'm grateful.

I know Charles will be.

You're not getting too tangled up with that Charles Martin, are you?

Whatever you have against him, James, is your affair.

I value his friendship.

What does it say?

Safe.

What does that word imply?

No doubt.

If your husband weren't in London and looked like stain there.

Don't interfere, James.

I'm only thinking of you.

Oh, no.

Tell him, Doctor.

Surely he can't be ready to sail yet.

It is not an easy judgment.

You've prodded and poked me hard enough.

It is sooner than I would honestly recommend.

But you are adamant that there's been no more pain.

I have been saying that for the past two weeks.

So if it is genuinely important for you to go.

Thank you, Doctor.

Why is it so important?

Well, for more reasons than I can tell you now.

Look, will you give that to Dawkins, please?

It's just a back-up, Martin.

I tell him that when he gets a cable from me to give that to Martin personally.

James, what are you up to?

Just want to do some one of favour.

In fact, this trip, if everything goes well, will be doing just about everyone of favour.

I can tell from your face how much you've missed it.

You look like someone who's just been released from prison.

What's this important card going on waiting for us in for Gary?

Okay, support why.

Are you allowed?

You're the doctor on board, the ship captain.

Very.

I'm not sure why I should be glad to have you breathing down my neck again,

but I suppose I better say it.

Welcome back.

You better then.

How long do you reckon it'll take us to get there?

We'll be back long before the 20th, don't you worry.

That's not what I ask.

Well, if there's weather holds six days, seven.

You get five.

Oh, wine won't go off just for the sake of a day.

I want to make sure I get there in time to pick up a passenger.

That's not.

I see someone important, is it?

My daughter.

Your brother?

Well, I must thank you for that.

He certainly wouldn't have done such a favour for me.

The only favour my brother is doing anyone is for himself.

Even so.

May I take you out to supper?

I think not.

Thank you.

Good night.

Here.

That's a valuable instrument. What the devil's eating is doing with that?

What does it look like?

You'll teach him how to use that.

He learns damn fast, too.

He's a brightest lad I've known in years.

What's the problem with that?

What does it look like?

You'll teach him how to use that.

He learns damn fast, too.

He's a brightest lad I've known in years.

Dear Madam, I hope you will believe that I understand the sincerity of your good intentions,

but you in turn must understand that my own responsibilities allow me little discretion in this matter.

Inappropically placed, concerned for my tenants' peace of mind, must with regret reaffirm my earlier decision.

Horkmore.

It came this morning.

Rather as I feared it would be.

I had hoped for better.

But do you think if I were to go and see him?

I'm afraid this is one battle we must reconcile ourselves to losing.

That's just what James said.

I do believe that one of the reasons he was so keen to go on this trip is that he wouldn't have to concern himself over all this.

Just when I need all the help I can get, he decides.

You've got to know what to do.

Danny!

What the devil is this?

I lent it to him.

Oh, well, if the lad wants to learn.

Oh, all right then.

Another two flag, or it's already.

Oh, do you think?

Right.

Or would you fly when you want to call a pilot?

Oh, that's a...

Pants up its eight.

Nonsense.

Just shove a pilot jack on your forehead.

That's all.

He's right.

Bong Kong.

Shove a pilot jack on your forehead.

That's all you need.

Only if you're in own waters.

I mean, you're going to Maccabir and Mokka Juba.

They likely wouldn't know what a pilot jack is.

You go into Maccabir or Mokka Juba, and they likely wouldn't know what a pilot is.

A pilot jack went out years ago.

Look, I've been sailing now.

Oh, you're as long as me.

Doesn't mean to say that you know everything you know.

Or the number of times you've accused me of being old-fashioned.

You've found dangled signals.

They're more trouble than they were.

I suppose you'd like to go back to Westing Sales up there.

Look, after Nonsense in here, wouldn't be necessary if you know how to sail aboard.

You tell that to the folks whose lives it sails.

Oh, I'm saying, is to the lad.

Give it to me.

Hello.

Who is calling, please?

The Viscount Master.

Would you please tell your master that Lady Foggity is not at home?

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

I'm not.

Thank you.

That's right, nice and gentle.

Perfect, perfect.

That's you, that's you.

Mr. Maynes.

Mr. Bidey.

I know.

Stay with us today, Ma'am.

Mr. Bide, just one day.

I know I spoke to Captain Clegg, Master of your sister, Steamer.

I damn fool.

He could have done so much to delay them.

How?

I don't know.

Foulterpies screws or something.

How do I?

You could have done something.

Anyway, I know where he's bound.

I so know.

Hi.

My dear.

Hi.

So everybody tells me.

All right then.

That's where we go.

My dear.

We're catching there.

I thought that wine had to be in Liverpool by the 20th.

Look, I'm one day behind Seth Burgess.

Now I'm not coming that close just to sell home again.

No cables on his way to Mr. Dogen's coming.

My dear.

All right.

I suppose there's one thing to be said to the sea.

It's not quite so smelly.

Did forger a smell?

I didn't notice.

Yes, it did.

Well, I'm sorry you didn't like it, but you're fine.

I'm sorry you didn't like it.

But you'll find in these hot places, they do smell.

Well, not if they're civilized.

I'm afraid you'll have to teach your nose to be less sensitive, my dear,

because we go where the car goes on. Civilized or no?

Father rarely sets foot outside his chambers nowadays.

Not unless it's to go to the club, thank you.

So I hope you won't take us a slight, my coming in place of him.

No, I think I'm rather relieved actually.

Your father's always given me very good advice,

but he usually manages to include a lecture on some worthy matter,

such as thrift or the Christian duty of the strong to provide employment for the week.

Knowing him, he probably includes it in his fees.

I take it you know my position.

I think so.

It's quite simple.

Charlotte has left me.

I'm sorry.

Oh no, don't be on the contrary. I realize now what a blessing it is.

It isn't everyone who's given the opportunity to start again.

So now I just want to be rid of her legally.

Divorced.

Well, happily that's not as difficult as it used to be.

I don't care what it costs.

What were the circumstances of her leaving?

She went off with the captain of a steam tramp.

When you say, went off, what exactly do you mean?

Well, what do you think?

Where is she living now?

On his ship.

So they are living as man and wife?

I presume so.

Presume?

Well, isn't it obvious?

I'm afraid not in the eyes of the Lord, isn't it?

And where exactly is this ship?

God knows.

So in fact, you have no actual proof of any infidelity.

Not any likelihood of obtaining it.

She left me to go off with him. Now she's living with him.

What more do you need?

Someone who's prepared to swear on oath,

that they have spent the night together in the same room.

Dammit, I thought you said divorce was easier.

Surely there must be other ways?

Only one.

And that's to stay apart for seven years.

Seven years?

During which time you have to be very careful of your own behavior.

No indiscretions.

You're not afraid to be a very careful of your own behavior.

No indiscretions.

Please don't be alarmed.

You mustn't blame your servants.

I'm afraid I used the deceit to be admitted.

Your powers of persuasion must be remarkable.

They're under instructions not to admit you at all.

Why?

What have I done?

You're out to me on the telephone. You never answered my notes.

Yet I thought we were friends.

You have caused me more doubt and confusion than I could ever consider charitable in a friend.

If that so distresses me.

I know much.

Yes.

Yes.

Oh.

It isn't something I find easy to confront.

Elizabeth.

You're an honorable woman.

A married woman married to a very important man.

I wouldn't trespass on your honor lightly.

If only you had.

We could have had our pleasure and been ourselves again.

I love you.

No, I...

I worship you.

I've never known such pain of longing, such ache of loving.

And but a match.

In all things.

I know that.

Oh God help me. Do you think I don't know that?

I'm not sure.

You haven't met your sea room will you bangs?

I can see her.

Bring her around the point, mister.

She's brought a signal gun.

I'm not sure.

Hi.

There's a good example of what I met.

What does J over D signify?

J over D is standing into danger.

I wish they knew they'd call it a signal as well as you.

Damn full, do we not stand again any danger?

It's not J over D, Governor, it's P over D.

Nonsense.

T is on positive.

And that means that they need medical assistance.

I know what it means.

Looks like they lost their mind, sir, I know.

Damn fools are still standing on.

The famous, sir.

Tell this lad what signals they're flying.

P over D.

They're in need of medical help, urgent.

I knew I was right.

Now listen here, bangs.

If I don't get them a deer and time to cut Seth Burgess.

Now, fly in that signal because they mean it.

Not like some people I know.

That was different.

That's his Navy.

But I master this ship and know what in need of help gets ignored.

I wasn't saying it, nor, though.

I mistake that.

Now, Sman, bring her around.

All right, lads.

Get ready to take off some caverns.

The

Winking man is.

What's the trouble then?

Captain Mangle is out in the woods.

He's got gangrene.

You'll have to take it off, then.

He needs a surgeon.

We've got no morphine.

Gable what the main cell found to me poor before us.

We're not stopping until we get to Madeira.

Take him with us.

All right, we'll take him on board.

Tom, don't get a bunk made up in the spare cabin.

I'll take him.

If he lives, we'll leave him in Madeira.

I think we've wasted enough time now, don't you, Baine?

Who's gonna do it then?

You were the one that insisted on taking him on board.

So you can take his hand off.

I'll sail the ship.

Right.

You all right?

Yeah.

You still want to be a master?

All right.

All right, now then.

When you've cleared her up here, I want you to stay and keep an eye on him.

From the smell of him, I should say his crew must have filled him up with branding.

Now, if so, that molfing will be a master.

All right.

All right, now then.

When you've cleared her up here, I want you to stay and keep an eye on him.

Don't you want him to stay and keep an eye on him?

I don't want him to stay and keep an eye on him.

I'll take him back to the branding.

Now, if so, that molfing will make him vomit.

Now, if he does, he'll get him over on his side quick because I don't want him choking.

All right?

Oh.

And there was I schooling myself to be patient for this evening.

I received this morning a letter from your brother, delivered personally by his chief clock dorkings.

I should like to read it to you.

Dear Maasden, knowing how much you value a certain case of port wine,

I should be obliged if by whatever means necessary you would persuade Lord Horkmore,

who is as I have discovered a friend of yours, to sell to my wife the lease on the property she wishes to buy.

If by the time that we dork this has not been accomplished, I greatly fear scenes reminiscent of the Boston Tea Party.

I'm sure Elizabeth will explain.

You're so needed.

How could he?

Oh, how could he?

How is he then?

I don't know. Not too good.

Maybe you're right.

Bangs!

How is that going to be there all day or do we get our own fiddles?

We've got trouble. There's gangrene in his arm.

Is it bad?

We'll be with the time we get to Madeira.

Well, it'll just have to take a chance as I can't wait till they take him into part.

Look, I shall lose Seth Burgess for sure.

You must see that.

Oh, I do. I'm not sure where we will all that time.

By Count Mastin.

Mrs. O'Nedin.

To what do I owe this honor?

I understand from Lady Fogarty, ma'am, that you have plans to open a home for children.

Wake up, we got any more?

Now what?

Well, it's no good. It's spreading out his arm.

Then you'll have to take his arm off.

You're on one of my ships, taking you to Lisbon.

Get you to a surgeon.

Lisbon? I thought we'd show some Captain Burgess to Madeira.

You are.

Burgess?

You weren't never going to Madeira.

It was just a story you put about.

Where is he headed?

Into the Mediterranean.

How do you know?

Who was drinking in...

In Figueira...

All one night.

I've never met a man in his cup yet.

This could keep a secret.

Oh, no.

Bones?
