saying things that have fella somehow

mrs. Robbins is having a tennis party on

Monday and she wants us all to go over

you to Hilda

I should have brought her in to meet you

any she was in such a hurry but whose

mr.radha was all her husband's a big

coal owner in Cardiff but she's a niece

or something to the governor of Dartmoor

Prison and she's apparently helping to

keep house for dear uncle just now there

take us over the prison before tennis

it's awfully interesting Harry and I

have been once

this your colonel or two what the heck

is that well it's just no good unless

you keep it up and something interesting

edge hello there having fun unusual to

see you about this time of day I'm gonna

point them with Jimmy or grieve I guess

I heard you taken over the family

business

well now that Johnny's gone is the only

architecting the family left yes

okay I gotta by to apologize because it

was suggested the apology didn't mean

what he said but on the other hand mine

I gave a fence in the office the other

half

oh of course not no I think I did give

her fenced it was his claim okay good

heavens no you didn't say anything

offensive another good man ruined by

women I don't imagine she noticed a

judge from what she's saying she did oh

you know ILDA no I know myself and I

said attack him that situation I should

have been more careful

I wonder beerus you by pressing it where

is mrs. kanga she gone to Devon she was

taking Janet down to stay with Eliseo

Janet's sister you know yes of course

they live on dartboard are they uh the

edge Adamo but you'll notice the

difference from the five towns there how

long is she staying oh it's all quite

assorted a few days no more I'm

surprised you didn't take the chance to

pop down yourself strange you should say

that came last need that seems

invitation er are you going dono

couldn't possibly explosion what's to do

you must be very badly organised

you're telling me it'll all come to a

halt because you're away for a couple of

days and of course not it's just Daniel

I'm not one for jaunting about you know

yeah so I've noticed it's high time you

made a start it's quite a bit of world

outside these towns um I don't think

I'll start exploring this weekend though

well I must be off and see Jimmy looking

forward that what a trouble yeah oh just

want to do papers to clear up about the

works rather do business with Johnny

though yes anyone had any news of him

and mrs. Kris not as far as I know

what's Janet gonna do about somewhere to

live goodness only knows stay with Alisa

and I expect what else can she do poor

girl

all of a sudden she's a resident maid

now and yes I'm taking the book uh yes

really - OH

how much is this all in order I trust

seems to be I'll send you a check for

the outstanding amount doesn't seem to

be much left for you to pay well this

should clear it all up Charlie good of

course you can't expect me to be too

bright about it mind your new works was

Johnny's private project I don't seem to

recall is consulting me once perhaps he

felt I wasn't capable of handling it

well if that was the case I think he

might have hung on until he'd properly

finished the paperwork I suppose

everyone in the town's expects this

business to bust no I'm in charge what

makes you say that oh come along play

anga find you it all surprises me a bit

sitting in this office which has weren't

so private the old man would scream if I

looked in the door well father was a

great man in his way and I'm not

but even great men of their failings as

you found what do you mean oh don't

worry I'm not being disloyal but I saw

those accounts for the ass we built for

your father it's not that he was a

deceitful man he just enjoyed spending

money on his family

there wasn't much vibe for John achier

not when he died perhaps but she wanted

for nothing while he was alive and I

shall do what I can for her out of this

unless the towns are right and I sink

the ship let's hope not then shall we

now that tone you use then clay anger at

the full ring of five towns morality I

don't think there's any need to be

insulting weren't you insulting me I

certainly didn't mean to you know I

can't help noticing that most people I

made seem to untreatable boy who needs a

stiffening lecture to put him wrong I'm

no kid Jimmy if you make assumptions

like that you'll find it - difficult to

do business with anyone oh if that isn't

a lecture then ever knows what is I

merely meant doesn't matter let me make

my position clear I'm married to

Elizabeth

what are the stories that go around I

have to take it to the theater at least

one night a week every other night I

must play cards with her and her friends

she's drunk here she's drunk there she's

a downright bad lot who's dragging me

down with her

well even supposing a small part of it's

true I gather you Sora one night of the

Theatre Royal so there's no point

denying she likes a drink well so do I

like a drink and although from time to

time I may wish that things were

different I decided to settle for a life

I've got I'd never be able to make a

life of this office I'd never be able to

make a life of work not now I wouldn't

so I must make my life the life I've got

day Orwell lente when with a slice of

look I should get the odd Commission to

design the odd shed I'm not at all a bad

architect when I'm pressed but if it

beats me

then it's beaten me and on every lecture

in these towns will make an ape with a

difference to that my life is my wife

and it's the life I've got

it's the life I've got Tavi mansion

Saturday dearest Edwin I've just

received your telegram saying that you

could not come down here please change

your mind I do so if you will I think

you should bring your dress clothes as

always passionate love from your wife

the order I should say that's an apology

I should say it is

[Music]

[Music]

the man's mad of course what's the point

of just saying he'll arrive on Sunday

what time I'm a train I should like to

know he'd hardly arrived now will he

Harry surely the last trains in there

never was a last train at any rate not

one you could have got him I didn't

chose the Bristol to Plymouth route but

if I redid out-of-date Bradshaw we've

had some changes on that line recently

if old Abram was using an out-of-date

branch or I've got the old one in the

study I'll just pop in and search it out

there's no deceiving Harry when it comes

to trains you work out just what train

ed wins on him he'll be there to meet

him I've never known him wrong

oh we just like any station in Bursley

it had the wrong timetable but when do

if he should get to Bristol Plymouth and

find that there are no trains to bring

him to Tavistock why don't tell my folks

oh yes I suppose he will do you make him

jacket for my smallest nephew she made

another one just before her operation I

think she imagines that otherwise they'd

all run about naked horrible quite well

that's what I used to say your mother

you determined to make me feel very old

go on I'm just trying to make you have a

rest that's all oh no the light knitting

you know maybe used to I think I've

discovered the secret of its attraction

you just won the impression of being

busy while at the same time keeping

one's mind quite free anyway I must have

something to do no certainly need why

about something to do when you've been

here for a while and met all our friends

you'll be wishing that life isn't so

hectic as it is many's the day I just

settle down in the garden and all I need

to do is laze the day away or play with

the children and of course someone calls

we must give them tea and then there are

plans made to go to them and so it goes

on all summer and for a good deal of the

winter to certainly wish I could live

down here Janet well I'm not living here

you know I'm just staying

oh yes Andrew shall stay for a long long

time as I've said I must just run up to

see if the children receive I know

there's a nanny and I'm a worrying mummy

but I just can't feel happy unless I

look for myself this are very kind yes I

possibly stay here with them Hilda why

not not love them very much love

visiting them must have my own life

somehow you know God better do we use

these are real Inca I've got to find her

I don't know how can you possibly talk

like that I've done tube I've done

nothing yes you have do we care for work

here

what makes you say that nothing really

it's just you have so much he knows it

very very happy take care of it all no

you just stop where's the leash yeah

gone upstairs to see the children were

asleep she does that every night and the

others are well and when did use the old

timetable because there was a late train

from Plymouth to Tavistock but there

isn't a late train anymore so Edwin

would have arrived in Plymouth at 8:53

you'll then have discovered he was stuck

in the fountain hotel the Royal I hope

the others aren't too hot then tomorrow

morning you'll catch the 8th one from

Plymouth and be in Tavistock at 8:59 you

get the surprise of his life when I meet

him at the station how on earth did you

know I'd be on this trend he'll say aha

I shall say deduction that's all you

ought to come home to breakfast then

have a rest then set off to visit

Dartmoor Prison we've got things

organized for you old man will you come

with me Hilda and witness my [ __ ] no I

stay here and wait for him

visit the prison Gilda's man she's quite

mad but coolest way be messed about by

trains spent the night in the worse

she's planned something as sickening as

that it's man quite man more bidding a

word well we shall see

oh yes we shall have this thing out and

about those sacred letters do shift to

be shown she's married to me I say Bobby

tell her this here we're here and then

I'll take you up to the bedroom thank

you you've gotta end it two women

they're clever all right now we shan't

have a reunion with everyone there yeah

and she's got an excuse for not go into

the prison

never get a man think it up something

like that

Oh

now he's going to be annoyed again poor

boy Oh

so you've got headache I'm so glad

you've come dearest what about Georgia

well as it was left to me to decide I

thought I better ask Maggie to come in

the house much better than packing him

off to Auntie Anne's game of course then

you got my letter in time not until

Saturday afternoon oh and he's a letter

for you

well that's doing it now what's she

gonna do now she can't keep it a secret

now surely

did you bring your dress clothes of

course but why is that telling what

she'll ever do dear mrs. Claire Hanna

I'm writing at once to tell you the news

it is not official yet and I pray to God

day and night that it is true and that

nothing will happen at the last moment

to prevent it I traveled to London

myself this week and had an interview

with a junior but I gather a permanent

and important official at the Home

Office

this man has assured me that my

husband's innocence is established and

that some time or another he will be

issued but the Queen's pardon pray with

me that it is soon although as I have

discovered with the past year or so

nothing is done in a hurry but the

government especially if it be to admit

their own mistakes I cannot thank you

enough you see what is here it's about

George Cannon it appears that he was

quite innocent in that banknote affair

it's his wife who's been writing to me

about it a little why she should but you

didn't of course I had to reply you

never said anything to me about it worry

you dearest I knew you had quite enough

on your mind with the works besides I

have no right to worry you with a thing

like that but of course I can show you

all her letters I've kept them will you

pass me my handbag on the chest

it's unanswerable it's insincere it's

gone committed but its own answerable I

can take the letters out if you want to

read them now oh no no all this time

she'll want some end link I can see that

a woman never forgets the first man I

suppose he is innocent

where is he now

young I believe so I thought they

shifted the mek to London before they

release them I expect they will do then

they have moved him already I expect

that's breakfast

you're better stick where you are

oh no I shall be alright soon I'm going

to get up in about a half an hour I'll

actually get out to go into the prison

Oh Edwin I must go I told them I should

go told them you should go what in the

name of heaven does that matter are you

absolutely mad must go it's nothing but

more business more business

well I shan't a bit oh sure let you go

and that's flat

hello Hilda they are up car stay in bed

all day hey day gone vanished

Joey filly caught again this afternoon

oh yes we do me good

hot circle circles come to see anything

stare Louganis area

what promise the five towers gone bear

do this little goofy Ritchie's

properties do you dial every one of them

here

I could live over and we'd have children

what turned life be for all of us

[Applause]

[Applause]

there's the prison

Wow why shouldn't you visit it if she

wants to she can't possibly meet him

where's the arm I am sorry the governor

has been called away he was very much

looking forward to showing you around

himself but mr. Jenkins

yeah he's a very senior official and I

know my uncle thinks very highly of him

he will escort you best give it a Miss

if I'm to open the tennis oh yes if they

have kids we need you here besides

you've seen it before

oh yes I think I'd rather play I think

I'll stay too if you don't mind mrs.

Radha was I'd like to play a set myself

later on I think I'd rather rest if I'm

to do that I quite understand it's all

gebe I know you haven't been very well

well I shall go to keep Hilde company

I've seen it all before of course but

it's quite interesting enough to see

again well um

in that case I'll stay with Miss or

grave you'll stay here mr. play huh yes

I think I shall but you can't miss

seeing the prison you can't come to

Princeton miss going round the prison

not when the chance is there well I

think oh it's only wonderful experience

believe me it is simply wonderful

so interesting - what do you say mrs.

clay Hana please come Edwin you won't be

alone you know your level is here with

you should like you to come

it was 1809 by French prisoners of war

for the French and the Americans it was

first used for criminals in 1850 when

Australia objective driven being

transported their clever choice of

location that's last oh yes

Parker is subjective spare the humble

Virgil in a place on this stinking

Charles

[Music]

[Music]

what about escapes now anybody get away

never my impossible I suppose I mean

even when they're working at stone

quarries or on the mall Ward is a pretty

good shot sir

pretty good mind you know of course what

I'm telling you is confidential if one

of our Dartmouth all came on suddenly

and kind friends outside had hidden a

lot of clothes and theoretic man might

get worried - difficult we didn't want a

miracle to succeed in this countryside

nobody ever has mr.

[Applause]

I suppose we still have a silence

absolutely absolutely

oh I've got to have discipline you know

it's much better for the prisoners in

the long run it shows them where they

are that's it this is one of the mother

plant at the Brisbane core no years went

too early

Oh perhaps we might be inside play hang

on

as I say this is one of our most modern

of course we don't really have time to

go over the buildings built for the

Napoleonic Wars not that we use those at

all

unless we're very full up they're

nothing like some bright and spacious as

these this may even be his self and they

may have been here for months for years

knowing he was innocent he may have

thought about me in this cell

Green Testament do you mean your

prisoners who can read Greek I'm stone

just shows the heights when soldiers

fall they often ask for things like that

on purpose they think it's effective

they're very naive you know in some way

it is tough children though make no

mistake about that

well shall we move along this is Pesce

mrs. Perrin I see what's the net for God

to provide against suicide yes good

clean as a new PIN isn't it can't risk

infection spreading through here

what other sort of work to begin do I

mean apart from the quarry isn't it

domestic I think you might be quite

surprised at that we have a tailor shop

first out do you mean you can trust them

with needles and scissors most of them

that's remarkable though it's discipline

that doesn't it's been unfairness a trip

prisoner has the right of personal

Appeals of a government and do they

appeal oh they come with their stories

of grievances which often aren't true

which are never true

they're always lies always it shows the

kind of material we have to deal with

suppose you can tell for certain when

they aren't telling the truth we can and

now I wonder what mrs. rather ones will

be thinking if I don't restore you to

her yes let's be all getting back she's

such a nice pitiable lady

it's fascinating place they're mostest

yeah I'd certainly care to study it is

greater than some time I'm sure that can

be arranged in fact I'd be most happy to

accompany thank you I look forward it's

a wonderful job you fellows do truly one

[Music]

[Music]

she depends on me my mom she has to

stand by

have you decided about dinner yes I

shall come down as you like to rest

right I'm sure they'll understand they

know you had a date this morning yes

well um I'll finish dressing then

go go go why must you do everything so

carefully

I'm alright nothing you want to talk

I'll go down there

[Music]

he's innocent

they can't keep

I should have screamed out in the prison

today I should have screamed out

edematous an innocent man he looked like

a beaten do you pardon him and when you

ruined him lovable no would never happen

he'd never do anything wrong

it'd never do anything dangerous he's

not a rebel I am

[Music]

yes I would rather he stayed in prison

it's only human ended but rather he

never been born

but don't control myself I swear I shall

there's no other way to keep control

over her

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

poor girl what are you doing sitting the

Penta right there I thought I'd ask for

some tea for you nearly the whole

blessed our soul wanted to come and see

you but I wouldn't a beat

[Music]

[Music]

did you recognize him

not quite but on you at once I could see

which of the men must be isn't it awful

yes suppose he is innocent

oh I do want you to read all those

letters you know the ones I had from

mrs. cannon Oh

mrs. Knopf what it meant to show them to

you thought the proof of his innocence

there yes I will read them but later

she's been wonderful quite wonderful she

travelled all over trying to find

witnesses then the chief witness died

and she had to find others then finally

a man who knows George cannon came out

of prison himself he'd been sentenced

for some other crime and he swore

affidavits to mr. cannons it's yes it

certainly sounds as if he's innocent

this time writing off something ought to

be done did you think something ought to

be done something has been done

something is being done something else

there's only one thing to be done wait

that's all it's not the slightest use

you're trying to rush these public

departments you can't do it you only get

annoyed for nothing at all you take that

from me my child I won't explain to you

about that ten times that's all right

that's all but I must tell you I had a

letter for mrs. cannon asking for money

she had spent so much trying to clear

her husband that she literally beggared

herself she needed ten pounds

desperately for legal expenses well felt

couldn't ask you for it not for that so

I borrowed it from Janet so I had to pay

back her tonight

I was Janet she seems to get splendidly

don't you think so

well then should we go home tomorrow

Oh times to Train

it's a very gloomy Canon by this time

next week you should be a free man again

would you expect me to say thank you for

that perhaps not but you're luckier than

some some men are innocent and serve

their full time I don't say that

officially mine every man behind bars is

officially guilty how else would a judge

keep his sanity quite anyway from what I

hear you must be very grateful to your

wife grateful to oh yes she'll expect

that all right what do you mean I intend

no offense officer but from now on or at

least from next week what I mean what I

think or what I do

are no concern of the police force

[Music]

you
