they'll be reunited of course they will

sometimes life is beautiful I shall go

and see her tomorrow morning mother

don't you think you better wait it's so

many years since you saw her I shall go

and see you said a gala tomorrow morning

and let that be understood I don't need

my daughter to teach me when I ought to

go and see my friends and when I Orleans

I knew Sarah Galya before y'all mr.

Kenneth was wrong I shall tell Sarah

Geller she's got to reckon with me now

as you monster or not that's what I

don't ever see her again

shall you come into the parlor it'll be

turn 40 soon

there you are sorry

really beneath more out watching them

and no thank you fly

I think you're all right Caroline she

seems a promising little thing I think

there's the makings of a good servant in

her I can't tell you I relieved I am to

hear you say that Sarah yes it's true I

was thinking so myself but when it comes

to housekeeping you know I put your

judgement first we went without up but

two toasts for I don't know how long

because no girl we had could make it

properly but I really think this flurry

can and she does make quite a good pot

of tea no she does Caroline she makes a

good pot of tea and now you must eat

that cake up to its freshly made I can

tell it is yes I don't think I could

possibly manage any more though

so you'll think you have going to London

miss Gayley nah mind your business you

inquisitive little paws no no it's

well mr. kanin does seem full of it

I told you how fully was a bit didn't I

Caroline you know how it is where

anything

takes him do I know how he is a boarding

house he's got control of up there

something about it a bill of sale on the

furniture I think but perhaps you'll

know no I don't anyhow he spent on me

taking charge of this boarding house he

he will have it is just the thing for me

but I don't know everyone knows you're a

splendid housekeeper Oh where's mother

I remember the refreshments at your

annual dance

I always attended to those myself I

don't know anything about refreshments

that that says but I do know what your

housekeeping is that's what George says

he says he never had such meals than

such attention there's a years he lived

with me well I'm sure he must be sorry

many a time he ever left yeah many and

many a time no relations you know and

then mr. cannon has always had ideas

about boarding houses and furnished

rooms and so on he's always said there

was lots of money to be made if they

were only managed properly only they

never are he says it isn't as if I

didn't know what London is as he says I

did live there but it's such a long time

ago

come come Sarah it isn't as long ago as

all that seemed so long he's so set on

it why not well I don't know whether I

could now you're younger than I am and

I'm not going to have anyone making out

that I'm growing old no do finish that

bitter cake

No thank you Caroline I really couldn't

not but what I should be sorry to lose

you there's no friends like Oh friends

Helder do turn down its father used to

make the tea

[Music]

look at your heart those bars are too

cold boys

what's more of you please music we

should attempt the plot cut again master

or grieve will you be kind enough to ask

me to dance miss Gayley may have the

pleasure of taking this next dance with

you now will you ask me all over again

and try not to look as if you were

granting me a favor which made you

rather ashamed of yourself miss Gayley

may I have the pleasure of taking this

next dance with you thank you master

oh great of course you may yesterday she

didn't know where her next meal was to

come from now he's given her money with

Hannah rescued her and yet she's

terrified isn't she she's terrified of

him bill are you birdy

[Music]

you

[Music]

well I didn't expect to meet you here

Sally to have tea with me ah well I have

just come to have a private word with

mrs. les ways about putting one of her

Cola story tellers out onto the pavement

I'll leave no Sarah you do no such thing

you're most welcome to hear what mr.

cannon has to say I've got no secrets of

any sort from you well no secrets at all

now come on our mr. cannon do you take a

chair and I'm sure I can press you to a

cup of tea a cup of tea ah I have to

confess to you mrs. les ways that I have

not had a cup of tea this afternoon all

the more reason for you to have one now

come on yeah come on so sir please yes

mind you my tea can't stand up with

Sarris I must warn you of that before

you take a sit well Sally's tea is the

best I have ever tasted but I have a

positive feeling which is less ways that

yours will compare and I have a feeling

but you'd flatter grime and to go if

only I could oh no I should save that

was a perfection of color

now you're the judge Sally is that not a

perfect color for tea and now for the

colour it's the taste is cab

what kind of man say about tea like that

nothing I should think I know I can't

say it's better than selling it no not

in there but nectar it undoubtedly is uh

we push-ups in digs aren't used to tell

you like this that's the trouble with

boarding houses you know they don't look

after people properly Scott

there is a fortune to be made in one

that does hmm didn't I did Sally tell

you that I want her to run a boarding

house for me well yes she did she's the

ideal person to do it of course you are

aren't you Sally you admit it come on I

don't know oh my dear girl you're too

modest that's what's the matter with you

you are the ideal person everybody else

knows you are I believe me this is the

ideal place now look here look here

there it is this advertisement is from

the London Daily Telegraph horn Z best

part a highly recommended and refined

boarding house in which the rooms are

outstandingly comfortable and only

superior food is served as occasional

vacancies

oh no no no here read it for yourselves

that's what's so marvelous about it you

see it's a going concern

oh the proprietor isn't leaving because

he's losing money on earth he's had a

bit of bad luck with another enterprise

and he's pledged the contents of this

house as security at this very moment

that house is almost full oh it's a one

in a thousand chance I know it is and it

is sheer good fortune that that chance

is mine till you sell it if you agree to

run it goodness only knows what the

possibilities are it's there it's

waiting all you have to do is move in

and rule that there's only one thing you

can't do you can't delay a decision or

the chance will be lost

well what decision is there to make

you're bound to succeed you know you are

what a partnership it could be a

wonderful exciting family affair it's

for your sake Sal you know it really

doesn't matter to me don't you agree

with me mrs. Leslie Oh you you've only

got to open your mouth to talk anybody

into the middle of

no but really seriously well I think

it's worth considering there you are

I should be all unknown oh I should come

up with you and see you into the place

of course I'd have to go back again the

same night I'm so tremendously busy up

here just now with the with the paper

and so on yes I quite admit all you see

are you here here is another idea why

don't you ask mrs. les ways to come up

with you and stay for a week or two it

would be a rare change for her and

company for you pleasure I've only been

in London once and that was I've been no

use in London at my time of life I'm one

of your homestay Oh nonsense mrs. les

ways if we do either world of good and

it would make all the difference to

Sally would do go mother

yes and leave you here by yourself a

nice thing I shall be all right

Shirley oh well why not take your

daughter with you oh but I couldn't

leave my work just now the paper just

coming out you couldn't spare me oh yes

I could yes we shall manage all right so

there you are you see there's absolutely

nothing at all to India and you shall

have the company you want Sally it's

decided it's done it must be Sally you

know it must for your own sake why don't

you two talk it over after I've gone eh

only it's already decided don't you

forget that oh this is less ways I

almost forgot I came here on business

call the street number 24 I'm afraid

it's impossible to get any rent out of

those people there I'm sure you still

have to put them out well it is no

alternative I'm afraid have you got the

old rent book we could see if they ever

paid anything then is that all rent book
