complaint that doesn't help her to stand

the pain from the rheumatism and the

sciatica it'll come and go all the time

on the other hand it's unlikely she'll

ever be completely cured thank you

didn't make a full pass this afternoon

when I carried in the new mates drunk I

had the feeling you weren't too pleased

with me oh no you're quite mistaken

much else left for us widowers but to

give a helping hand wherever we can yes

it's just cowardice that's all

there's so much else I could do I know

there is I've got money

I've got freedom I've got ambition

haven't I well why don't I learn to use

them instead of this I'm giving up I'm

giving in

I wasted her life I was one of the first

women to write shorthand in all five

towns one of the first in England I

shouldn't be surprised well if I can do

that I can do anything

what am i doing I'm getting married

that's all

I don't care

he loves me

and I want him this time next week

bring the trunks

I take mrs. cannons handbag resume yes

and well about she's miss Gayley she's

in the palace yes sir it's us George I

must speak you that's something

can you come down into the parlor is it

that urgent oh yes I'm so glad you're

Becca I truly am no I know Hilda is

anxious to wash and change her clothes

Sarah we've been traveling since we left

Dublin yesterday I think you should shut

the door till you tell us Sarah

we can't it's not my fault George I

didn't start anything

her bedroom was filthy I told her so I

told me you wouldn't tolerate guests

coming into dust like that she didn't

see it she said if you stood on a chair

you seemed I said if you run your hand

up there you'd have [ __ ] it I said I'm

not have my wardrobes with dust on top I

put my hand up there for her to see and

when I bought it down it was black as

parable I told her she must go right to

round the house and run I hand over the

table every water there was I am

responsible for the state of these

bedrooms I said now none of them dusty

owe any price it was just like a girl

former pop bank

she was I've never heard anyone use

language like that behold I was good

here

she's in some baggage that's what she is

she leaving she's gone there not any

sort of notice she took her trunk and

went well can be helped we can manage

without getting anybody else for the

moment how many are there in besides the

watching sir mr. Bart wood it's the but

- it's gone - good well gone with flora

he's taking a room for her in the town

that's why she was so

oh I guess it

I think

I'll write to her mother well perhaps

around hands got more sense if you like

what do you say I say you can write if

you like but don't you think we ought to

write certainly if you like but it won't

do any good

you don't suppose I was gonna come down

here to you

and even if she did it is you huh oh

just let me dry my shoulder yeah

well I'd best be off my record ever try

and fix up about those shares are you

quite sure that's what you want what

those proponents shares in the hotel

continental yes if you think so what I

do know I do but it's your money that

will be buying them and those railway

shares you've got now I'm bringing you

in quite a good return but of course

what you got to do is to balance that

against the fascination of a new hotel

and the possibility of a small fortune

I'd rather do what you think well you

know what I think then that's what we

must do good I shall be very long but if

you'd rather not wait tea for me oh I

shall wait you can see mr. Bob wood in

the time I might I know where to catch

him my fancy where Oh one of those

places where we men gather you know how

should I know

a woman well anyway I dare say I shall

run into mr. Bob wood and what shall you

say - what can I say to him it's no

business of mine you know except that

we've lost a decent servant and I expect

that was Sarah's fault she's no use

whatsoever with the servants now Sarah

isn't well I shall never speak to mr.

output again there's nothing wrong with

I think it's scandalous his behavior

simply wicked it really is a man like

him his wife hasn't been dead about four

months it's disgusting

you may depend upon it she asked for it

she asked for it now you keep your hair

on

you don't understand don't die does he

have to be so coarse and insensitive

sometimes I knew that's how he'd react I

knew I knew I know him don't I

I've been married only two weeks and I

know him through and

when he touches my shoulders

Oh

and when I rush this this will be the

first meal we've had together in this

house I love my best friend

they'll watch me all the time I know he

will

he loves me completely he's

totally mine

well I have to go through that I'm not

responsible for what you said but you be

careful for what I say is what is

otherwise what about the woman he

married in Devonshire Laurie was me she

saw her

did you know she's out there inquiring

after a beautiful ass when she was lying

low and they make it our all in the sack

nobody's bought his wife own a nice

house this is and I took no I've been in

some to be back so they can put her soon

I should think

[Music]

[Music]

what's up or price the husband coming

under his TA no tea no light almost

broke me neck down on the basement

stairs

what are you sitting here for now look

here I've signed the transfer for those

hotel continental shares and I've paid

the check

so it's Domino nap how does it feel

having an interest in a concern like

that hey I had another look as I was

coming along the kingsroad eight stories

bathrooms on every floor oh to be just

about the most wonderful thing that'll

ever come to this town but on our way

now you see we shall have that continent

for one day for ourselves hey what is it

what's that oh you don't mean to say

that seer has been making yourself

disagreeable already hasn't she told you

no really she had it's Louisa oh she

made a fearful scene with Sara on the

stairs she said the most awful things

for instance well she said you had a

wife living in Devonshire

and who were told of that sorry

indeed

I suppose there's no good

shilly-shallying about I have got a wife

living and she's in Devonshire

I expect you've been inquiring internal

to see if I was still in the land of the

living probably wants to get married

again herself what's the use of me

saying I'm sorry I acted for the best

chances were ten thousand to one against

for being spotted well anyway you never

know your look although until re of

course when he was suggested we should

have that girl down here I knew there

was a danger but I conclude it

I said nothing have possibly had if she

hadn't come that woman could have

inquired after me internal till she was

all blue without you hearing about it

what it's my fault I've even found out

miss do anything I don't guilty of

and look at it look at it

that was a long time ago considering I

was 22 yes why did you leave her why did

I leave it because I had to

I've got as a solicitor's clerk in

lovers in Torquay she was a client we

met about me I'm only telling you she

was a spinster had one of those big

houses on the hill behind the town she

wanted me and she got me and didn't care

who knew it the wedding was in the

talkie directory

I told her I hadn't got any relations

she was jolly glad how old was she young

she'd never seen 36 again the day I

married here good-looking well-dressed

very stylish and all that carried me off

my feet of course there was the money me

as well out with all the little I'm

about it she made me an absolute present

to 4,000 pounds assisting on doing kind

of never asked course I know I married

for money it happens to use sometimes as

well as to girls they may be disgusting

but it's no more disgusting for the one

than for the other besides I didn't

realize that it was a a sale and

purchase at the time

only lasted about 10 days I couldn't

stand it so I told her so I kept it

she started in action for restitution of

conjugal rights but she soon got out of

that wouldn't ever four thousand pounds

man simply wouldn't she was a terror but

I was in there for her

well I kept it 4,000 pounds in a lot of

brass that's how I started business

internal if you want to know

you may depend I never laid on not in

the five towns about my beautiful

marriage

that's the tale you've got to remember I

was 22

why did you keep little from me keep

from me

oh this about you being married why did

I keep it from you I'll tell you why I

kept it from you because I knew that if

I told you I wouldn't stand a chance

with a girl like you I knew it would be

all over if I so much as breathe the

hint of it I don't suppose you've got

the slightest idea how standoffish you

are me look if I told you I wanted you

and then that I got a wife living what

would you have said I don't know no but

I know no Hilda nobody can fool about

with you

now that first night in this house

upstairs house as near as damn it to

coming up with it all and taking my

chance with you but I didn't I saw it

would be no use now that one the first

time I'd of course it's all my fault

but this all my fault I know what to

excuse myself have nothing to say for

myself isn't that enough I'm ashamed and

that'll be ashamed I'd give anything to

be able to undo it

of course I'm completely done for

but what is to be done

I suppose I mustn't stay here

do you welcome with me

Ouiser I won't you run down to the Kings

Island pitch me a cap yes I suppose I

can count on you not to hand me over to

the police please

why whatever it's a three years job you

know at least never heard of the word

bigamy what can you do I can disappear

that's what I can do

I don't see myself in prison

I went over Stafford prison once the

governor showed a few of us around and

I'd I don't see myself in prison you'll

be alright from that and so on those

continental shares should do well enough

but I should advise you to get away from

here and not come back any sooner than

you

you told nobody outside Brighton live

you what about us

I have told no one but Sarah yes but one

or two others have found out silk you

can get away yes I think that's the best

thing for you the Hilda less ways again

Sidda will have to manage this place as

best she can be a handsome income for a

my did put it on the chicky stair hotel

and so on will have to be for who did

you

largely attended meeting of the Masters

was held in the Queen's Hall Hanbridge

this afternoon there are unanimous

decision after fully considering the

various suggestions made in the signal

and other papers being that in the

present conditions of trade there was no

solution to the difficulty except that

of the returned by the men to work at

the prices and conditions of last year

it was further intimated that if

necessary the manufactures would not

resume work until March next a large

crowd of serious-looking operatives had

assembled outside the hotel awaiting the

result of the meeting for particulars

will appear in tomorrow signal how

beautifully clearly arrayed dua is that

all there is about it yes they didn't

seem to think is very important but half

the people are starving whose fault is

it if they do starve it's a shame you

know the men broke the award not long

since what can you do with such people
