1
00:01:49,901 --> 00:01:51,118
And now my mind is made up.

2
00:01:51,194 --> 00:01:52,195
Oh, Lucy.

3
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:53,451
I never heard
of such a thing.

4
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:54,782
Oh, Lucy, Lucy.

5
00:01:54,865 --> 00:01:56,788
Please don't make it
more difficult.

6
00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:59,746
I know you've tried to be
generous and kind,

7
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:02,206
but it simply won't work,
my living here.

8
00:02:03,206 --> 00:02:04,298
Eva, speak to her.

9
00:02:04,374 --> 00:02:05,375
Are you serious, Lucy?

10
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:06,631
Yes, Eva, I am.

11
00:02:06,710 --> 00:02:08,963
And poor Edwin
barely cold in his grave.

12
00:02:09,046 --> 00:02:10,798
He's been dead
almost a year now.

13
00:02:10,881 --> 00:02:13,885
Still you might have some consideration
for your husband's memory.

14
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:17,141
I don't see what Edwin's
got to do with this.

15
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:20,269
I'm not leaving him,
I'm leaving you.

16
00:02:20,349 --> 00:02:24,229
Oh! After all we've
tried to do for her.

17
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:26,655
You mustn't think
I'm not grateful.

18
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:29,153
You've both been
so very kind to me,

19
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:31,610
but I'm not really
a member of the family,

20
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:35,118
except for marrying your son,
and now he's gone.

21
00:02:35,197 --> 00:02:36,665
I have my own life to live,

22
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:38,663
and you have yours,

23
00:02:38,742 --> 00:02:40,744
and they simply
won't mix.

24
00:02:41,370 --> 00:02:43,668
I've never had
a life of my own.

25
00:02:43,747 --> 00:02:48,628
It's been Edwin's life
and yours and Eva's,

26
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:50,883
never my own.

27
00:02:50,962 --> 00:02:52,339
Stop sniveling, Mother.

28
00:02:52,422 --> 00:02:54,174
If she's determined
to make a fool of herself,

29
00:02:54,257 --> 00:02:55,634
there's nothing
we can do about it.

30
00:02:55,717 --> 00:02:59,642
But what will I have to
remind me of poor Edwin?

31
00:03:00,263 --> 00:03:03,016
Lucy, have you
considered Anna?

32
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:05,102
Yes, Eva, I have.

33
00:03:05,185 --> 00:03:08,439
You're willing to take responsibility
for what might become of her?

34
00:03:08,522 --> 00:03:10,399
She's my daughter, Eva.

35
00:03:10,482 --> 00:03:12,610
And what do you
mean by that?

36
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:14,115
Only what I said.

37
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:16,788
You're insinuating
that I interfere with Anna.

38
00:03:17,531 --> 00:03:19,329
Don't deny it, Lucy.

39
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:22,536
Don't deny it, I say!

40
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:24,879
I'm not denying it, Eva.

41
00:03:27,457 --> 00:03:30,677
Please, can't we discuss this
without quarreling?

42
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:33,175
I'm sure I don't know
how you'll manage, Lucy.

43
00:03:33,255 --> 00:03:34,552
You haven't any money.

44
00:03:34,631 --> 00:03:37,180
I have the income
from Edwin's gold shares.

45
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:40,684
Anna and I can live
quite cheaply with Martha.

46
00:03:40,762 --> 00:03:42,935
Do you mean you're
taking Martha Huggins?

47
00:03:43,014 --> 00:03:46,689
And why not? She was with me
before I came to live with you.

48
00:03:46,768 --> 00:03:48,145
Of all the ungrateful...

49
00:03:48,228 --> 00:03:52,153
Please, Eva. I'm sorry,
but I've made up my mind.

50
00:03:52,232 --> 00:03:55,657
But where, Lucy,
where can you go?

51
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,367
The seaside, I think.

52
00:03:58,447 --> 00:04:01,246
I've always wanted
to live by the sea.

53
00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:02,416
Oh, goody.

54
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:06,250
Well, that's all I have to say.

55
00:04:06,496 --> 00:04:08,089
I should think
it's quite enough.

56
00:04:08,165 --> 00:04:10,588
Apparently there's
nothing we can do about it,

57
00:04:10,667 --> 00:04:12,169
but when you realize
your mistake

58
00:04:12,252 --> 00:04:14,175
and try to come
crawling back to us,

59
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:16,177
don't expect
any encouragement from me.

60
00:04:16,256 --> 00:04:18,008
I won't, Eva.

61
00:04:28,226 --> 00:04:30,695
Well, it's done.

62
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:33,570
Oh, it's a blooming
revolution, that's what.

63
00:04:46,787 --> 00:04:49,882
Isn't Whitecliff beautiful,
Martha?

64
00:05:09,059 --> 00:05:11,608
Oh, I am sorry.

65
00:05:12,229 --> 00:05:13,697
It's quite all right.

66
00:05:13,772 --> 00:05:15,024
Are you Mr. Itchen?

67
00:05:15,106 --> 00:05:17,029
Mr. Itchen passed on
30 years ago.

68
00:05:17,108 --> 00:05:18,325
May he rest in peace.

69
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:20,369
- Mr. Boles?
- Likewise.

70
00:05:20,445 --> 00:05:21,822
Then you're Mr. Coombe.

71
00:05:21,905 --> 00:05:23,031
Junior.

72
00:05:23,114 --> 00:05:25,913
Of course. You answered my letter.
Please eat.

73
00:05:25,992 --> 00:05:27,039
Thank you.

74
00:05:27,118 --> 00:05:28,335
I'm Mrs. Muir.

75
00:05:28,411 --> 00:05:31,460
Mrs. Muir, of course.
You were desirous of renting a house.

76
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:32,712
Yes.

77
00:05:32,791 --> 00:05:34,839
Well, I've selected
several prospects

78
00:05:34,918 --> 00:05:38,889
suitable to a young lady
in bereaved circumstances.

79
00:05:41,299 --> 00:05:44,178
Bowles Yard. Seaside villa.
Three beds, two recept,

80
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:46,184
complete offices,
company's gas and water,

81
00:05:46,263 --> 00:05:49,062
ideally sits near bus stops,
modern drains, private garden,

82
00:05:49,140 --> 00:05:51,689
£120. £10 deposit.

83
00:05:51,768 --> 00:05:53,691
I'm afraid that's
a little too expensive.

84
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:54,862
Right.

85
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:01,945
Labernum Mount.
First-class residential street,

86
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,451
four bed, one recept,
sun parlor, offices,

87
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:07,455
company's gas and water,
beautifully planted, short walk...

88
00:06:07,534 --> 00:06:10,208
This one. Gull Cottage.

89
00:06:10,287 --> 00:06:12,961
- What was that, madam?
- This house. Gull Cottage.

90
00:06:13,039 --> 00:06:14,712
It's exactly the sort of
place I'm looking for.

91
00:06:14,791 --> 00:06:17,590
Gull Cottage. Oh, no, no.
That wouldn't suit you at all.

92
00:06:17,669 --> 00:06:20,468
Labernum Mount.
First-class residential street,

93
00:06:20,547 --> 00:06:22,470
four bed, one recept,
sun parlor, offices,

94
00:06:22,549 --> 00:06:23,971
company's gas and water...

95
00:06:24,050 --> 00:06:27,475
And only £52. That's very
little for a furnished house.

96
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:28,976
It's a ridiculous price.

97
00:06:29,055 --> 00:06:31,478
I suppose there's something wrong.

98
00:06:32,475 --> 00:06:33,818
Is it the drains?

99
00:06:34,477 --> 00:06:37,071
When ltchen, Boles, & Coombe
put up a house for rent,

100
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:40,526
you may be sure there is
nothing wrong with the drains.

101
00:06:40,609 --> 00:06:42,077
Then why shouldn't it suit me?

102
00:06:42,152 --> 00:06:45,497
My dear young lady, you must
allow me to be the judge of that.

103
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:47,574
Now where were we?
Oh, yes. Labernum Mount.

104
00:06:47,657 --> 00:06:49,580
Beautifully planted,
short walk from...

105
00:06:49,659 --> 00:06:51,582
But if I'm going to
live in the house,

106
00:06:51,661 --> 00:06:53,083
I should be the judge.

107
00:06:53,163 --> 00:06:54,756
You'll only waste your time.

108
00:06:54,831 --> 00:06:56,583
But it's my time.

109
00:06:56,666 --> 00:06:59,089
I believe there's another
house agency in Whitecliff.

110
00:06:59,169 --> 00:07:02,389
Perhaps they have
Gull Cottage listed, too.

111
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:05,225
Very well, madam, if you insist.

112
00:07:10,221 --> 00:07:12,895
I shall drive you to Gull Cottage
in my motorcar.

113
00:07:12,974 --> 00:07:15,022
That's very good of you,
Mr. Coombe.

114
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:55,900
Mrs. Muir.

115
00:07:57,060 --> 00:08:00,781
It's only a short drive
to Labernum Mount.

116
00:08:00,855 --> 00:08:02,823
But I want to see the inside.

117
00:08:02,899 --> 00:08:04,321
The inside?

118
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:07,826
Of course.
What on earth's the matter?

119
00:08:07,904 --> 00:08:09,998
Very well.
If you insist.

120
00:08:30,635 --> 00:08:31,807
Terribly dusty.

121
00:08:31,886 --> 00:08:33,559
The house has been empty
for nearly four years.

122
00:08:33,638 --> 00:08:34,639
Oh.

123
00:08:34,931 --> 00:08:37,104
Office is back there.
Living on the right.

124
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,106
Dining off the living.

125
00:08:49,988 --> 00:08:53,117
Oh. Of course. It's a painting.

126
00:08:55,452 --> 00:08:57,375
I thought for a moment...

127
00:08:59,372 --> 00:09:00,794
Who is it?

128
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,220
The former owner,
a Captain Gregg.

129
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:06,717
A sea captain.

130
00:09:07,589 --> 00:09:10,012
That explains the scheme
of decoration, doesn't it?

131
00:09:10,091 --> 00:09:11,559
Which is in frightful taste.

132
00:09:11,634 --> 00:09:13,762
I don't agree with you.

133
00:09:13,845 --> 00:09:15,893
It's really a lovely room,

134
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:17,895
and most of the furniture
will do as it is.

135
00:09:17,974 --> 00:09:20,693
Mrs. Muir, I must beg of you
not to be so precipitous.

136
00:09:20,769 --> 00:09:23,443
I assure you this house
will not suit you at all.

137
00:09:23,521 --> 00:09:27,697
Oh, but it does.
it suits me perfectly.

138
00:09:27,776 --> 00:09:29,528
What a hideous tree.

139
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:31,822
What kind of a tree is it?

140
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:34,158
I believe it is called
a monkey puzzle tree.

141
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,366
Why?

142
00:09:35,450 --> 00:09:38,829
Because it defies the efforts
of monkeys to climb it, presumably.

143
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:42,007
Why, it ruins the view.
I'll have it chopped down.

144
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,343
Did you say something,
Mr. Coombe?

145
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:50,844
No, I did not.

146
00:09:54,344 --> 00:09:56,688
Well, I think I'd better
see the rest of it.

147
00:09:56,763 --> 00:09:58,686
As you wish, Mrs. Muir.

148
00:10:27,710 --> 00:10:29,132
What on earth?

149
00:10:29,212 --> 00:10:30,555
What, Mrs. Muir?

150
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:34,055
That table. I thought you
said no one had been here.

151
00:10:34,134 --> 00:10:35,477
I said nothing of the sort.

152
00:10:35,552 --> 00:10:38,055
I said the house had been empty.
It has.

153
00:10:38,138 --> 00:10:39,606
A charwoman was here last week.

154
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:41,809
Well, she must have left
in a frightful hurry.

155
00:10:41,891 --> 00:10:43,188
That she did.

156
00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:44,360
Did she tell you why?

157
00:10:44,435 --> 00:10:45,482
She told me nothing.

158
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:48,486
She returned the key to the office
whilst I was out.

159
00:10:50,984 --> 00:10:52,076
Mrs. Muir, I...

160
00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:54,575
I know, it won't suit me.
But it does.

161
00:10:58,074 --> 00:11:00,293
I'd like to see the upstairs.

162
00:11:00,910 --> 00:11:02,912
The upstairs.

163
00:11:24,100 --> 00:11:25,977
The, uh, main bedroom.

164
00:11:41,242 --> 00:11:42,585
Of course.

165
00:11:43,703 --> 00:11:45,797
He liked to watch the ships.

166
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:47,040
Hmm.

167
00:11:47,123 --> 00:11:48,625
But what...

168
00:11:50,084 --> 00:11:53,714
That's what it is.
You're clean.

169
00:11:53,796 --> 00:11:55,389
I beg your pardon,
Mrs. Muir.

170
00:11:55,465 --> 00:11:58,184
Oh, not you, Mr. Coombe,
the telescope.

171
00:12:01,804 --> 00:12:03,681
Did you laugh,
Mr. Coombe?

172
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:08,190
Mr. Coombe?

173
00:12:25,995 --> 00:12:28,248
You would come.
I didn't want to show it to you,

174
00:12:28,331 --> 00:12:30,004
but, oh, no, no,
you had to see it.

175
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:34,088
Haunted.
How perfectly fascinating.

176
00:12:34,837 --> 00:12:35,963
Fascinating?

177
00:12:36,673 --> 00:12:40,098
I suppose it's fascinating that
this house is driving me to drink.

178
00:12:40,176 --> 00:12:42,725
To drink!
Four times I've rented it

179
00:12:42,804 --> 00:12:45,728
and four times the tenants have left
after the very first night.

180
00:12:45,807 --> 00:12:48,230
The owner's in Australia,
Captain Gregg's cousin.

181
00:12:48,309 --> 00:12:50,937
I've written to him, cabled him
begging him to release me,

182
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:53,148
but he only replies,
"Rely on you."

183
00:12:53,231 --> 00:12:54,904
Well, I don't want
to be relied on.

184
00:12:55,024 --> 00:12:57,243
I never want to see
this house again.

185
00:12:57,318 --> 00:12:59,741
I wish Captain Gregg
had lived to be 100.

186
00:12:59,821 --> 00:13:01,744
I wish he'd never been born.

187
00:13:01,823 --> 00:13:03,666
I'm terribly sorry,
Mr. Coombe.

188
00:13:03,741 --> 00:13:06,665
Well, at least you know now
why it won't suit you.

189
00:13:06,744 --> 00:13:09,372
Yes, I suppose so.

190
00:13:10,915 --> 00:13:13,919
Why does he haunt?
Was he murdered?

191
00:13:14,002 --> 00:13:16,050
No, he committed suicide.

192
00:13:17,088 --> 00:13:18,681
I wonder why.

193
00:13:18,756 --> 00:13:21,475
To save someone the trouble
of assassinating him, no doubt.

194
00:13:21,551 --> 00:13:23,645
Come.
We'll go to Labernum Mount.

195
00:13:27,598 --> 00:13:29,271
Mrs. Muir.

196
00:13:30,351 --> 00:13:32,570
Mrs. Muir, if you please.

197
00:13:33,479 --> 00:13:36,983
You'll probably think it very
silly of me, Mr. Coombe,

198
00:13:37,066 --> 00:13:40,195
but I've decided to take
Gull Cottage after all.

199
00:13:40,278 --> 00:13:43,578
I mean, if everyone rushes off
at the slightest sound,

200
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:45,704
of course the house
gets a bad name.

201
00:13:45,783 --> 00:13:47,456
But it's too ridiculous, really,

202
00:13:47,535 --> 00:13:49,708
in the 20th century,
to believe in apparitions

203
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:51,505
and all that
medieval nonsense.

204
00:13:51,581 --> 00:13:53,128
But you heard him laugh.

205
00:13:53,207 --> 00:13:55,710
I heard what might
have been a laugh.

206
00:13:55,793 --> 00:13:58,216
It might have been the wind
roaring down the chimney.

207
00:13:58,296 --> 00:14:00,719
If I may so say, Mrs. Muir,
fiddlesticks.

208
00:14:00,798 --> 00:14:02,675
I want Gull Cottage.

209
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:06,684
In my opinion, you are the most
obstinate young woman I have ever met.

210
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:08,185
Thank you, Mr. Coombe.

211
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:11,518
I've always wanted
to be considered obstinate.

212
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:14,195
Very well, Mrs. Muir,

213
00:14:14,270 --> 00:14:17,695
on the understanding
that I disclaim all responsibility

214
00:14:17,774 --> 00:14:19,697
of what may happen,

215
00:14:19,776 --> 00:14:21,699
you shall have Gull Cottage.

216
00:14:32,705 --> 00:14:35,128
Don't you dare come in.

217
00:14:38,461 --> 00:14:41,681
Bringing your muddy feet
through my nice clean kitchen.

218
00:14:41,756 --> 00:14:43,599
Landlubber.

219
00:14:43,674 --> 00:14:45,517
There.

220
00:14:45,593 --> 00:14:48,221
Nothing like soap and water
to make everything shipshape

221
00:14:48,304 --> 00:14:49,726
in Bristol fashion.

222
00:14:49,806 --> 00:14:51,228
Yes.

223
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:53,230
What did you say, Martha?

224
00:14:53,309 --> 00:14:55,232
Why, I said...

225
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:57,237
What did I say?

226
00:14:57,313 --> 00:14:59,236
Shipshape in Bristol fashion.

227
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:02,068
I've never heard you use
that expression before.

228
00:15:02,443 --> 00:15:03,410
Huh.

229
00:15:03,486 --> 00:15:05,363
Must have been
the sea air.

230
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:07,661
Come along, Mrs. Muir.

231
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,333
I'll have that iron,
if you please.

232
00:15:09,409 --> 00:15:10,752
But I've nearly finished.

233
00:15:10,827 --> 00:15:13,376
You've done enough
hard work for today.

234
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:15,752
Besides, you know,
you're supposed not to be...

235
00:15:15,832 --> 00:15:18,176
If you're going to start
telling me I'm not strong,

236
00:15:18,251 --> 00:15:20,970
I'll pack you off back to London
on the first train.

237
00:15:21,045 --> 00:15:23,173
Dear old London,
how I miss it.

238
00:15:23,256 --> 00:15:25,600
Now come along,
upstairs to your room

239
00:15:25,675 --> 00:15:28,098
and a bit of shut-eye
before tea.

240
00:15:30,054 --> 00:15:31,852
I feel so useless.

241
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:35,018
Here I am nearly
halfway through life,

242
00:15:35,101 --> 00:15:36,648
and what have I done?

243
00:15:36,727 --> 00:15:38,195
I know what I done,
all right.

244
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:41,241
Cooked enough steaks
to choke an hippopotamus

245
00:15:41,315 --> 00:15:44,285
and kept the name of Huggins
as fair as the day I found it.

246
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,204
You've led
a very useful life, Martha.

247
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,203
I have nothing to show
for all my years.

248
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,626
I suppose you call
Miss Anna nothing.

249
00:15:51,701 --> 00:15:54,955
Oh, heavens.
I can't take any credit for her.

250
00:15:55,037 --> 00:15:57,210
She just happened.

251
00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:58,633
Yes.

252
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,427
That's what my old mum
always used to say.

253
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,379
I was the 11th.

254
00:16:07,133 --> 00:16:08,134
Oh!

255
00:16:08,217 --> 00:16:09,343
Hurt yourself?

256
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:10,553
Here, let's have a look.

257
00:16:10,636 --> 00:16:12,934
It's nothing,
just a scrape.

258
00:16:13,055 --> 00:16:16,229
But I am tired.
I think I will take a little rest.

259
00:16:18,144 --> 00:16:21,068
Begging your pardon,
Your Highness.

260
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:25,701
There.

261
00:16:27,236 --> 00:16:30,160
This will keep you
nice and warm.

262
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:33,998
Thanks, Martha,
you're an angel.

263
00:16:35,244 --> 00:16:37,997
Ain't noticed any wings
sproutin' lately.

264
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:45,588
I'll call you in plenty
of time for tea.

265
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:34,326
It's you.

266
00:18:35,364 --> 00:18:37,958
I crept up, not
wanting to wake you

267
00:18:38,034 --> 00:18:40,332
in case you
was still asleep.

268
00:18:41,245 --> 00:18:42,667
Tea's all ready.

269
00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:45,717
Miss Anna will have it all
cleared off in no time

270
00:18:45,791 --> 00:18:47,168
if you don't hurry.

271
00:18:47,251 --> 00:18:48,798
I've got a nice bit
of fresh fish for you, too.

272
00:18:48,878 --> 00:18:52,303
Martha, I had such a curious dream.

273
00:18:53,591 --> 00:18:56,219
Did I close the window
before I went to sleep?

274
00:18:56,302 --> 00:19:00,182
You did, and scraped your finger.
Don't you remember?

275
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:01,811
It's shut now, ain't it?

276
00:19:02,767 --> 00:19:04,144
Yes.

277
00:19:08,439 --> 00:19:09,907
It's shut now.

278
00:19:25,247 --> 00:19:26,999
Sleep tight.

279
00:19:27,083 --> 00:19:30,633
Good night, Mummy.
I love the sea, and so does Rummy.

280
00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:32,133
And so do I.

281
00:19:50,606 --> 00:19:52,700
I put hot water bottles
on the kitchen table, ma'am,

282
00:19:52,775 --> 00:19:54,118
and the kettle's
on the stove.

283
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,285
Thank you, Martha.

284
00:19:55,361 --> 00:19:57,113
- Good night, ma'am.
- Good night.

285
00:19:58,280 --> 00:19:59,782
Should I leave this on,
ma'am?

286
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,993
No. This will do nicely.

287
00:21:38,714 --> 00:21:40,808
I know you're here.

288
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,354
I say, I know you're here.

289
00:21:51,727 --> 00:21:55,527
What's wrong?
Are you afraid to speak up?

290
00:21:56,982 --> 00:22:00,077
Is that all you're good for,
to frighten women?

291
00:22:01,695 --> 00:22:03,493
Well, I'm not afraid of you.

292
00:22:05,449 --> 00:22:07,872
Whoever heard
of a cowardly ghost?

293
00:22:10,496 --> 00:22:12,214
Now if the demonstration is over,

294
00:22:12,289 --> 00:22:14,838
I'll thank you not to interfere
while I boil some water

295
00:22:14,917 --> 00:22:16,635
for my hot water bottle.

296
00:22:16,710 --> 00:22:18,712
Light the candle.

297
00:22:20,381 --> 00:22:22,634
Go ahead, light it.

298
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:27,685
How can I when you keep
blowing out the match?

299
00:22:27,763 --> 00:22:30,357
Light the blasted candle!

300
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:48,454
Well?

301
00:22:51,287 --> 00:22:54,666
You'll forgive me
if I take a moment

302
00:22:54,748 --> 00:22:57,592
to get accustomed to you.

303
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:03,640
You're Captain Gregg.

304
00:23:04,341 --> 00:23:05,638
Aye.

305
00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:08,766
I'm sorry I called you names,

306
00:23:09,805 --> 00:23:11,933
coward and so forth.

307
00:23:12,016 --> 00:23:15,145
I didn't really believe in you,
or I wouldn't have.

308
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,068
It must have been
embarrassing to you.

309
00:23:18,147 --> 00:23:19,569
Why?

310
00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:23,528
Why, I mean because
of the way you died.

311
00:23:26,822 --> 00:23:28,790
The way I died, madam?

312
00:23:28,866 --> 00:23:32,166
I mean because
you committed suicide.

313
00:23:33,495 --> 00:23:35,623
What made you think
I committed suicide?

314
00:23:35,706 --> 00:23:36,798
Mr. Coombe said...

315
00:23:36,874 --> 00:23:40,128
Coombe's a fool.
They're all fools.

316
00:23:40,210 --> 00:23:43,635
I went to sleep in front of that
confounded gas heater in my bedroom,

317
00:23:43,714 --> 00:23:47,685
and I must have kicked the gas on
with my foot in my sleep.

318
00:23:48,177 --> 00:23:50,475
It was a stormy night like this

319
00:23:50,554 --> 00:23:53,228
with half a gale blowing from
the south-southwest into my windows,

320
00:23:53,307 --> 00:23:55,651
so I shut them as
any sensible man would.

321
00:23:55,726 --> 00:23:56,943
Wouldn't you?

322
00:23:57,019 --> 00:23:59,693
Yes, I suppose so.

323
00:24:00,022 --> 00:24:02,150
Then the coroner's jury
brought in a suicide

324
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:04,610
because me blasted
charwoman testified

325
00:24:04,693 --> 00:24:06,616
I always slept
with me windows open.

326
00:24:07,112 --> 00:24:09,661
How the devil should
she know how I slept?

327
00:24:09,740 --> 00:24:11,538
I'm so glad.

328
00:24:12,326 --> 00:24:14,875
Do you have a strange
sense of humor, madam?

329
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:18,174
I mean because you
didn't commit suicide,

330
00:24:19,041 --> 00:24:22,090
but if you didn't,
why do you haunt?

331
00:24:22,169 --> 00:24:25,093
Because I have plans
for me house

332
00:24:25,172 --> 00:24:27,095
which don't include
a pack of strangers barging in

333
00:24:27,174 --> 00:24:28,300
and making themselves at home.

334
00:24:28,384 --> 00:24:30,307
Then you were trying
to frighten me away.

335
00:24:30,386 --> 00:24:34,607
You call that trying?
I'd barely started.

336
00:24:34,682 --> 00:24:36,935
No, that was enough
for all the others.

337
00:24:37,017 --> 00:24:39,315
They didn't want any part of it,
let me tell you.

338
00:24:39,395 --> 00:24:40,988
Didn't even stop
to weigh anchor.

339
00:24:41,063 --> 00:24:43,157
They just cut their cables and ran.

340
00:24:43,232 --> 00:24:45,951
I think it's very mean
of you frightening people,

341
00:24:46,026 --> 00:24:47,619
childish, too.

342
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:49,618
In your case,
I'm prepared to admit

343
00:24:49,697 --> 00:24:52,621
I charted the course
with regret.

344
00:24:52,700 --> 00:24:54,623
You're not a bad-looking
woman, you know,

345
00:24:54,702 --> 00:24:56,625
especially
when you're asleep.

346
00:24:56,704 --> 00:25:00,129
So you were in my room
this afternoon.

347
00:25:00,207 --> 00:25:01,675
My room, madam.

348
00:25:01,750 --> 00:25:05,550
I thought I'd dreamed it.
Did you open the window to frighten me?

349
00:25:05,629 --> 00:25:07,802
I opened the window because
I didn't want another accident

350
00:25:07,881 --> 00:25:09,679
with the blasted gas.

351
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:12,269
Women are such fools.

352
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:16,732
You, of all people,
should not have brought that up.

353
00:25:18,017 --> 00:25:20,770
I wouldn't call that remark
in the best of taste.

354
00:25:20,853 --> 00:25:23,276
Well, I'm sure it
was very kind of you,

355
00:25:23,355 --> 00:25:26,780
but I am quite capable
of taking care of myself.

356
00:25:27,693 --> 00:25:30,116
Now, if you don't mind.

357
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:44,297
Well, what's the matter now?

358
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,629
I just wanted to see
if you were really there.

359
00:25:46,754 --> 00:25:48,677
Of course I'm really here,

360
00:25:48,756 --> 00:25:51,475
and I'll still be here when
you've packed up and gone.

361
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,179
But I'm not going.

362
00:25:55,262 --> 00:25:57,515
The house suits me perfectly.

363
00:25:57,598 --> 00:26:00,067
My dear woman,
it's not your house.

364
00:26:00,142 --> 00:26:01,769
It is as long as I pay rent.

365
00:26:01,852 --> 00:26:04,071
Pay rent to me blasted cousin!

366
00:26:04,146 --> 00:26:05,398
He's the legal owner.

367
00:26:05,481 --> 00:26:07,529
Legal owner be hanged!

368
00:26:07,608 --> 00:26:09,030
It's my house,

369
00:26:09,818 --> 00:26:12,571
and I want it turned into a home
for retired seamen.

370
00:26:12,654 --> 00:26:14,531
Then you should have
said so in your will.

371
00:26:14,615 --> 00:26:16,367
- I didn't leave a will.
- Why not'?

372
00:26:16,450 --> 00:26:19,920
I didn't expect to kick
the blasted gas on with me foot!

373
00:26:19,995 --> 00:26:23,670
I won't be shouted at. Everyone shouts
at me and orders me about,

374
00:26:23,749 --> 00:26:24,966
and I'm sick of it,
do you hear?

375
00:26:25,042 --> 00:26:26,419
Blast! Blast! Blast!

376
00:26:26,502 --> 00:26:27,879
Temper.

377
00:26:27,961 --> 00:26:30,760
Or laughed at, either.
I won't leave this house.

378
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:33,843
You can't make me leave it.
I won't!

379
00:26:36,512 --> 00:26:38,560
Here, belay that.

380
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:40,899
Stop it now,
do you hear me?

381
00:26:41,767 --> 00:26:45,112
If there's one thing I can't stand,
it's a woman crying.

382
00:26:45,187 --> 00:26:47,656
Stop it! Blast it all, madam.

383
00:26:47,731 --> 00:26:51,076
I love this house.
I thought I must stay here

384
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:53,074
the moment I saw it.

385
00:26:53,153 --> 00:26:54,575
I can't explain it.

386
00:26:54,655 --> 00:26:57,078
It was as if the house itself
were welcoming me,

387
00:26:57,157 --> 00:27:00,752
asking me to rescue it
from being so empty.

388
00:27:01,662 --> 00:27:03,756
You can't understand that, can you?

389
00:27:03,831 --> 00:27:06,710
I suppose you think
I'm just a silly woman,

390
00:27:07,709 --> 00:27:10,053
but that's the way I feel.

391
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:14,717
Well, there might be
some truth in it at that.

392
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,019
I felt that way
about a ship once,

393
00:27:17,094 --> 00:27:19,096
my first command.

394
00:27:19,179 --> 00:27:21,352
Found her rusting
in the Mersey,

395
00:27:21,431 --> 00:27:24,355
gear all foul
and a pigsty below.

396
00:27:27,312 --> 00:27:30,031
Always swore she sailed
twice as sweetly for me

397
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:32,030
as she would
for any other master

398
00:27:32,109 --> 00:27:34,077
out of gratitude.

399
00:27:35,571 --> 00:27:38,791
Well, you love the house.
That counts for you.

400
00:27:39,116 --> 00:27:41,118
And you've got spunk.
You didn't frighten like the others.

401
00:27:41,201 --> 00:27:43,124
That counts for you, too.

402
00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:45,706
You may stay.

403
00:27:45,914 --> 00:27:47,131
On trial.

404
00:27:47,207 --> 00:27:48,299
Oh, thank you.

405
00:27:48,375 --> 00:27:49,877
Keep your distance,
madam.

406
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,463
I'm sorry.
You made me so happy.

407
00:27:52,546 --> 00:27:54,173
No intention
of making you happy.

408
00:27:54,256 --> 00:27:56,634
I merely want to do
what's best for the house.

409
00:27:56,717 --> 00:28:00,017
Then we're agreed, and you'll go
right away and leave us alone.

410
00:28:01,180 --> 00:28:04,605
I will not go right away.
Why should I?

411
00:28:05,392 --> 00:28:07,611
Because of Anna,
my little girl.

412
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,609
I don't want her frightened
into fits.

413
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:11,611
I never frighten little
girls into fits.

414
00:28:11,690 --> 00:28:14,614
Think of the bad language
she'd learn and the morals.

415
00:28:14,693 --> 00:28:17,617
Confound it, madam,
my language is most controlled,

416
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:19,118
and as for me morals,

417
00:28:19,198 --> 00:28:22,122
I lived a man's life,
and I'm not ashamed of it.

418
00:28:22,201 --> 00:28:23,623
I can assure you

419
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:26,125
no woman's ever been
the worse for knowing me,

420
00:28:26,205 --> 00:28:28,879
and I'd like to know how many
mealy-mouthed bluenoses

421
00:28:28,957 --> 00:28:30,129
can say the same.

422
00:28:30,209 --> 00:28:33,133
She's much too young
to see ghosts.

423
00:28:33,212 --> 00:28:35,635
Very well.
I'll make a bargain with you.

424
00:28:36,506 --> 00:28:37,632
Leave me bedroom as it is,

425
00:28:37,716 --> 00:28:40,139
and I'll promise not to go
into any other room in the house.

426
00:28:40,219 --> 00:28:42,142
And your brat need never know
anything about me.

427
00:28:42,221 --> 00:28:44,895
But if you keep the best bedroom,
where should I sleep?

428
00:28:44,973 --> 00:28:46,896
In the best bedroom.

429
00:28:47,643 --> 00:28:48,644
But...

430
00:28:49,311 --> 00:28:51,405
In heaven's name, madam, why not?

431
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,232
Why, bless my soul, I'm a spirit.

432
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:55,738
I have no body.
I haven't had one for four years,

433
00:28:55,817 --> 00:28:56,989
is that clear?

434
00:28:57,069 --> 00:28:58,286
But I can see you.

435
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:00,160
All you see is an illusion.

436
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:02,412
It's like a blasted lantern slide.

437
00:29:02,491 --> 00:29:05,495
Well, it's not very convincing,

438
00:29:05,577 --> 00:29:07,295
but I suppose it's all right.

439
00:29:07,371 --> 00:29:10,375
Then it's settled.
I'm probably making a mistake.

440
00:29:10,457 --> 00:29:12,380
I always was a fool
for a helpless woman.

441
00:29:12,459 --> 00:29:13,881
I'm not helpless.

442
00:29:14,378 --> 00:29:15,925
If you're so confoundedly
competent,

443
00:29:16,004 --> 00:29:17,972
you'll notice your kettle's
about to boil over.

444
00:29:18,632 --> 00:29:20,350
So it is.

445
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:24,847
One thing more.

446
00:29:24,930 --> 00:29:27,103
I want me painting hung in the bedroom,

447
00:29:27,182 --> 00:29:29,105
the one that's in the living room.

448
00:29:29,184 --> 00:29:31,937
Must I?
It's a very poor painting.

449
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,781
It's my painting.
I didn't invite your criticism.

450
00:29:34,856 --> 00:29:37,109
I make that part of the bargain.

451
00:29:37,192 --> 00:29:40,913
I want you to put it there now, tonight.
Good night.

452
00:29:40,988 --> 00:29:42,365
Good night.

453
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:46,122
I mean,
it doesn't do you justice and...

454
00:30:03,176 --> 00:30:05,304
You might at least have
turned the light back on

455
00:30:05,387 --> 00:30:06,809
before you left.

456
00:30:48,263 --> 00:30:50,186
Such nonsense.

457
00:31:57,124 --> 00:31:59,752
<i>My dear,
never let anyone tell you</i>

458
00:31:59,835 --> 00:32:01,382
<i>to be ashamed of your figure!</i>

459
00:32:11,805 --> 00:32:14,729
There!
That's the last of them.

460
00:32:16,351 --> 00:32:18,399
Never held
with mourning meself.

461
00:32:18,478 --> 00:32:20,901
I always say life's
black enough as it is

462
00:32:20,981 --> 00:32:22,574
without dressing in it, too.

463
00:32:22,649 --> 00:32:24,071
Cheer up, Martha.

464
00:32:24,151 --> 00:32:25,573
Life isn't as bad as that.

465
00:32:25,652 --> 00:32:27,074
Who said it was?

466
00:32:32,659 --> 00:32:33,876
Good afternoon.

467
00:32:33,952 --> 00:32:36,501
What have you done
with me monkey puzzle tree?

468
00:32:36,580 --> 00:32:39,379
I expect it's chopped
for firewood by now.

469
00:32:39,458 --> 00:32:40,880
Hang it all, madam!

470
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:43,382
I planted that tree
with me own two hands.

471
00:32:43,462 --> 00:32:44,805
Why?

472
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,759
Because I wanted a monkey puzzle
tree in me garden!

473
00:32:47,841 --> 00:32:50,811
Think how much prettier
a bed of roses will look there.

474
00:32:50,886 --> 00:32:52,354
I hate roses!

475
00:32:52,846 --> 00:32:55,816
I hope the whole blasted bed
dies of blight!

476
00:32:55,891 --> 00:32:58,815
I wish you wouldn't swear.
It's so ugly.

477
00:32:58,894 --> 00:33:00,487
If you think that's ugly,

478
00:33:00,562 --> 00:33:03,361
it's a good thing
you can't read me thoughts.

479
00:33:04,733 --> 00:33:07,953
You seem to be very
earthly for a spirit.

480
00:33:08,028 --> 00:33:11,282
And you, madam, are enough
to make a saint take to blasphemy!

481
00:33:11,656 --> 00:33:13,374
Blasted women!

482
00:33:13,450 --> 00:33:15,953
Always make trouble
when you allow one aboard.

483
00:33:16,036 --> 00:33:18,130
Captain Gregg,
if you insist on haunting me,

484
00:33:18,205 --> 00:33:19,798
you might at least be
more agreeable about it.

485
00:33:19,873 --> 00:33:20,874
Why should I be agreeable?

486
00:33:20,957 --> 00:33:22,800
Well, as long as we're living...

487
00:33:23,084 --> 00:33:25,803
I mean, if we're to be
thrown together so much,

488
00:33:25,879 --> 00:33:28,132
life's too short to be forever
barking at each other.

489
00:33:28,256 --> 00:33:30,725
Your life may be short, madam.

490
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,474
I have an unlimited time
at my disposal.

491
00:33:33,553 --> 00:33:35,476
There you go arguing again.

492
00:33:35,555 --> 00:33:38,809
Try to say something
pleasant for a change.

493
00:33:38,934 --> 00:33:40,026
Hmm.

494
00:33:43,063 --> 00:33:44,656
Uh, that's a...

495
00:33:44,856 --> 00:33:46,483
That's a pretty rig you have on.

496
00:33:46,566 --> 00:33:47,658
Thank you, sir.

497
00:33:47,734 --> 00:33:49,031
Much better than
smothering yourself

498
00:33:49,110 --> 00:33:50,703
in all that ugly black crepe.

499
00:33:50,779 --> 00:33:52,702
I happen to have been wearing
mourning for my husband.

500
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:54,579
Whom you didn't love.

501
00:33:59,788 --> 00:34:01,335
How dare you say that!

502
00:34:01,414 --> 00:34:03,382
Because it's true.
You were fond of him perhaps,

503
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:05,381
but you didn't love him.

504
00:34:06,169 --> 00:34:07,386
I suppose you're jealous

505
00:34:07,462 --> 00:34:09,760
because no one
put on mourning for you.

506
00:34:09,839 --> 00:34:12,012
That shows how little
you know about it.

507
00:34:12,092 --> 00:34:15,312
Some poor, misguided female no doubt.

508
00:34:15,637 --> 00:34:18,516
Three poor,
misguided females to be exact.

509
00:34:18,598 --> 00:34:20,942
I should think
you'd be ashamed of it

510
00:34:21,017 --> 00:34:22,644
instead of boasting
about it.

511
00:34:22,727 --> 00:34:24,570
Why?
They misguided themselves.

512
00:34:24,646 --> 00:34:26,148
I never raised a finger to help them.

513
00:34:26,231 --> 00:34:28,484
That's not what
I've heard about sailors.

514
00:34:28,567 --> 00:34:30,740
Seamen, confound it!

515
00:34:30,819 --> 00:34:33,413
Sailor is a landlubber's word.

516
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,991
Why did you marry him?

517
00:34:36,074 --> 00:34:37,166
Edwin?

518
00:34:39,202 --> 00:34:41,000
I don't really know.

519
00:34:42,747 --> 00:34:44,169
He was an architect.

520
00:34:44,249 --> 00:34:45,842
He came down to plan an addition

521
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:48,340
to my father's library.

522
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,173
I was only 17.

523
00:34:51,256 --> 00:34:53,679
I remember
I'd just finished a novel

524
00:34:53,758 --> 00:34:56,011
in which the heroine was
kissed in the rose garden

525
00:34:56,094 --> 00:34:58,517
and lived happily ever after.

526
00:34:58,597 --> 00:35:01,191
So when Edwin kissed me
in the orchard...

527
00:35:01,266 --> 00:35:02,688
But it was different

528
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:04,861
after you left the orchard.

529
00:35:06,521 --> 00:35:08,114
He didn't beat you, did he?

530
00:35:08,189 --> 00:35:09,736
Oh, no!

531
00:35:10,692 --> 00:35:13,821
Poor Edwin.
He never did anything.

532
00:35:14,529 --> 00:35:17,829
I'm afraid he wasn't even
a very good architect.

533
00:35:18,700 --> 00:35:21,499
He couldn't have designed
a house like this.

534
00:35:22,412 --> 00:35:23,709
Who did?

535
00:35:23,913 --> 00:35:25,381
I did.

536
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:29,002
It reminds me of something...

537
00:35:29,669 --> 00:35:32,764
An old song, or a poem.

538
00:35:32,881 --> 00:35:35,134
"Magic easements,
opening on the foam

539
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:37,969
"of perilous seas,
in faery lands forlorn."

540
00:35:38,053 --> 00:35:39,475
That's Keats, isn't it?

541
00:35:39,554 --> 00:35:40,976
<i>The Nightingale.</i>

542
00:35:41,056 --> 00:35:45,027
Strange to find a sea captain
quoting Keats.

543
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,029
Oh, life's slow at sea.

544
00:35:49,397 --> 00:35:52,025
Plenty of time for reading
in the off watches.

545
00:35:53,193 --> 00:35:54,740
How romantic.

546
00:35:55,570 --> 00:35:58,665
Reading lyric poetry
up in the crow's-nest

547
00:35:58,740 --> 00:36:00,663
with the sheets bellying in the wind.

548
00:36:00,742 --> 00:36:02,836
Sails, blast it all, madam!

549
00:36:02,911 --> 00:36:05,414
A sheet's a line, a rope.

550
00:36:05,622 --> 00:36:07,670
Ropes can't belly.

551
00:36:08,416 --> 00:36:10,965
I don't know anything
about the sea

552
00:36:11,044 --> 00:36:12,717
except that it is romantic.

553
00:36:12,796 --> 00:36:14,673
That's what
all landsmen think.

554
00:36:14,756 --> 00:36:16,349
Seamen know better.

555
00:36:16,424 --> 00:36:17,971
Then why do they
go to sea?

556
00:36:18,051 --> 00:36:20,850
Because they haven't
the sense to stay ashore.

557
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:22,977
Heaven help
the ordinary seaman.

558
00:36:23,056 --> 00:36:24,899
Were you ever one?

559
00:36:24,974 --> 00:36:27,602
For several years,
while I learnt me trade.

560
00:36:28,603 --> 00:36:32,403
It's hard to imagine you
being an ordinary anything.

561
00:36:42,450 --> 00:36:44,168
You got callers.

562
00:36:46,746 --> 00:36:49,169
Oh, dear!
Whatever can they want?

563
00:36:49,249 --> 00:36:50,421
Who is it?

564
00:36:50,500 --> 00:36:52,798
My blasted in-laws!

565
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,348
But she's resting, ma'am.

566
00:36:57,465 --> 00:36:58,842
Then we'll go up.

567
00:36:59,843 --> 00:37:02,847
Quick! Hide or go away or decompose.

568
00:37:02,929 --> 00:37:04,522
Dematerialize, madam.

569
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:05,849
Whatever it is,
do it quickly.

570
00:37:05,932 --> 00:37:08,606
No fear.
They can't see me or hear me

571
00:37:08,685 --> 00:37:10,437
unless I choose
that they should.

572
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,614
Oh, then please don't choose.
I'll get rid of them.

573
00:37:12,689 --> 00:37:14,908
Why don't you let me?
I've had plenty of practice.

574
00:37:14,983 --> 00:37:17,236
Say the word,
and I'll keelhaul them.

575
00:37:17,318 --> 00:37:19,116
No. You're not to do anything!

576
00:37:19,195 --> 00:37:20,617
Well, Lucy.

577
00:37:20,697 --> 00:37:22,495
Talking to herself.

578
00:37:23,032 --> 00:37:25,831
Oh, my poor Lucy.

579
00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:28,247
You look so pale.

580
00:37:28,329 --> 00:37:30,582
- Well! What an ugly room!
- It isn't really.

581
00:37:30,665 --> 00:37:32,258
Whatever do you want
with that telescope?

582
00:37:32,333 --> 00:37:33,960
I like to look at the stars.

583
00:37:34,043 --> 00:37:35,260
You never liked
to look at the stars

584
00:37:35,336 --> 00:37:36,462
when you lived with us.

585
00:37:36,546 --> 00:37:38,173
Sit down, Mother.

586
00:37:39,758 --> 00:37:41,681
And what a hideous painting.

587
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:43,478
Anyone with a face
like yours, madam,

588
00:37:43,553 --> 00:37:45,647
should steer clear of
expressing such opinions.

589
00:37:45,722 --> 00:37:47,269
Why on earth don't you
take it down?

590
00:37:48,224 --> 00:37:50,022
Because I like it, Eva.

591
00:37:50,101 --> 00:37:51,944
I'm very fond of it,
really I am.

592
00:37:53,104 --> 00:37:54,902
Liar.

593
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:56,983
Of course.
If you want a portrait

594
00:37:57,066 --> 00:37:59,114
of a strange man
in your room,

595
00:37:59,194 --> 00:38:01,037
well, that's up to you.

596
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:04,662
I'm sure you didn't come here
merely to criticize the decorations.

597
00:38:04,741 --> 00:38:06,118
No, we did not.

598
00:38:06,201 --> 00:38:08,750
Oh, poor Lucy,
we've such bad news for you.

599
00:38:08,828 --> 00:38:11,126
I suppose it's all for the best,
everything considered.

600
00:38:11,206 --> 00:38:12,298
Don't you, Eva?

601
00:38:12,373 --> 00:38:14,125
And in my opinion,
we're just in time.

602
00:38:14,209 --> 00:38:17,133
So perhaps our bad news
is good news after all,

603
00:38:17,212 --> 00:38:19,635
and now we can all
go home and live together

604
00:38:19,714 --> 00:38:23,139
and forget all this nonsense
about living alone.

605
00:38:23,218 --> 00:38:24,344
What news is this?

606
00:38:24,761 --> 00:38:25,853
Your gold mine, Lucy.

607
00:38:25,929 --> 00:38:27,146
It's petered out.

608
00:38:27,222 --> 00:38:28,644
They've stopped
paying dividends.

609
00:38:28,723 --> 00:38:30,350
<i>It was in The Times
this morning.</i>

610
00:38:32,185 --> 00:38:33,232
Oh.

611
00:38:37,649 --> 00:38:38,821
Uh...

612
00:38:39,067 --> 00:38:40,660
Avast now.

613
00:38:40,735 --> 00:38:42,658
Don't make a scene
in front of these swabs.

614
00:38:42,737 --> 00:38:44,330
I don't intend
to make a scene.

615
00:38:44,405 --> 00:38:47,659
Of course you don't.

616
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:51,167
You're my brave little girl,
that's what you are.

617
00:38:51,246 --> 00:38:55,001
- Oh, Lucy. My little Lucy.
- Please.

618
00:38:55,083 --> 00:38:56,835
Make her stop that
eternal caterwauling

619
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:58,010
or I will take a hand!

620
00:38:58,086 --> 00:39:00,054
- You keep out of this!
- Oh, Lucy!

621
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:02,844
Oh, blast!

622
00:39:02,924 --> 00:39:04,926
Oh! Did you hear her, Eva?

623
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,977
Yes, I heard her.
Stop sniveling, Mother.

624
00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:08,930
If that's what you want,
we will keep out of it.

625
00:39:09,013 --> 00:39:10,060
I didn't mean you.

626
00:39:10,139 --> 00:39:11,482
Then just whom
did you mean?

627
00:39:11,558 --> 00:39:13,652
Well, I could explain, I suppose,

628
00:39:13,726 --> 00:39:15,649
but you wouldn't believe me.

629
00:39:15,728 --> 00:39:17,150
All I know is
that you're acting

630
00:39:17,230 --> 00:39:18,652
in a most peculiar fashion.

631
00:39:18,731 --> 00:39:20,153
The only charitable explanation

632
00:39:20,233 --> 00:39:22,156
is that the solitude
has preyed on your mind.

633
00:39:22,235 --> 00:39:23,953
She thinks you've got
bats in your belfry.

634
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:25,154
Oh, pipe down!

635
00:39:25,238 --> 00:39:27,661
I mean, I want to think.

636
00:39:28,116 --> 00:39:30,710
Very well, I will pipe down,
as you put it,

637
00:39:30,785 --> 00:39:32,162
but it should be
perfectly obvious

638
00:39:32,245 --> 00:39:33,337
that with your income gone

639
00:39:33,413 --> 00:39:35,006
there's only one course
for you to follow,

640
00:39:35,081 --> 00:39:36,754
and that is to come
home now, with us.

641
00:39:36,833 --> 00:39:39,086
You mean give up this house?

642
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:42,092
Naturally. it was idiotic
to take it in the first place,

643
00:39:42,171 --> 00:39:45,471
and now that you're a pauper,
how can you possibly stay?

644
00:39:50,138 --> 00:39:52,106
Don't do it, Lucy.

645
00:39:53,725 --> 00:39:55,568
Do you want me to stay?

646
00:39:55,643 --> 00:39:56,610
Yes.

647
00:39:56,686 --> 00:39:58,108
Do you really mean it?

648
00:39:58,187 --> 00:39:59,564
Of course I mean it.

649
00:39:59,647 --> 00:40:01,741
Tell them to shove off.

650
00:40:01,816 --> 00:40:03,989
We'll think of something.

651
00:40:05,528 --> 00:40:08,281
I'm sorry.
It's very kind of you to want me back,

652
00:40:08,364 --> 00:40:10,742
but I'm going to stay.
I'll manage somehow.

653
00:40:10,825 --> 00:40:13,999
So, please be good enough
to shove off.

654
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:17,416
Very well. You're obviously insane,

655
00:40:17,498 --> 00:40:19,751
and I for one want nothing more
to do with you.

656
00:40:19,834 --> 00:40:21,302
Come, Mother.

657
00:40:29,677 --> 00:40:31,099
Captain Gregg...

658
00:40:31,179 --> 00:40:33,181
Captain Gregg, where are you?

659
00:40:37,769 --> 00:40:39,567
Don't forget your promise.

660
00:40:42,273 --> 00:40:44,150
It's too ridiculous!

661
00:40:44,609 --> 00:40:47,032
I'm going to give her
one more chance.

662
00:40:48,112 --> 00:40:49,534
Stop pulling me, Mother.

663
00:40:49,614 --> 00:40:51,366
I'm not pulling you, Eva.

664
00:40:53,117 --> 00:40:54,209
Stop it, I say!

665
00:40:54,285 --> 00:40:56,208
I'm not touching you, Eva.

666
00:40:56,287 --> 00:40:58,381
- Off we go!
- Let me go!

667
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:23,273
Mummy's coming aboard
in a motorcar.

668
00:41:23,398 --> 00:41:25,651
Mr. Coombe
is invited for tea.

669
00:41:28,277 --> 00:41:31,156
I'm so glad you found
the house suitable after all.

670
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,662
I'm convinced now that
we were unduly concerned

671
00:41:33,741 --> 00:41:36,164
about the possibility
of a ghost haunting it.

672
00:41:36,244 --> 00:41:38,167
As you say, how could
such things exist

673
00:41:38,246 --> 00:41:39,498
in the 20th century?

674
00:41:39,580 --> 00:41:41,924
Indeed. How could they?

675
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,550
Still, you must admit
it's a very isolated location,

676
00:41:45,628 --> 00:41:48,177
and I've often thought of you
out here alone

677
00:41:48,256 --> 00:41:52,181
without the protection of a man,
the right man, could offer you.

678
00:42:29,922 --> 00:42:32,016
I only hope when
I reach the afterlife

679
00:42:32,091 --> 00:42:33,684
I have a little more dignity.

680
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:34,852
Dignity?

681
00:42:34,927 --> 00:42:36,520
Do you call it dignified
to throw yourself

682
00:42:36,596 --> 00:42:38,724
at a herring-gutted swab
like that?

683
00:42:38,806 --> 00:42:41,525
I asked Mr. Coombe here
because he's the logical man

684
00:42:41,601 --> 00:42:44,024
to help me find lodgers
for the summer.

685
00:42:44,103 --> 00:42:45,275
Lodgers?

686
00:42:45,646 --> 00:42:46,738
Oh.

687
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:50,030
Here, weigh your anchor.

688
00:42:50,109 --> 00:42:52,703
Forgive me, my dear.
I've been seriously misled.

689
00:42:52,779 --> 00:42:55,202
I thought you wanted
to sign him on for a husband.

690
00:42:55,281 --> 00:42:57,704
Mr. Coombe?
That walrus!

691
00:42:57,784 --> 00:43:00,708
It's my experience that women
will do anything for money.

692
00:43:00,787 --> 00:43:04,291
Now you and your blasted
experiences have ruined everything.

693
00:43:04,373 --> 00:43:06,546
No. No. No.
There's no harm done.

694
00:43:06,626 --> 00:43:09,049
I couldn't allow you to
take in lodgers in any case.

695
00:43:09,128 --> 00:43:10,630
They're worse
than passengers at sea.

696
00:43:10,713 --> 00:43:12,340
It's them or starve.

697
00:43:12,882 --> 00:43:14,759
Not at all, my dear.

698
00:43:14,842 --> 00:43:17,265
I've solved all your problems.

699
00:43:17,345 --> 00:43:19,063
You're going to write a book.

700
00:43:21,099 --> 00:43:23,101
A book?

701
00:43:23,184 --> 00:43:25,186
But I couldn't.

702
00:43:26,145 --> 00:43:28,523
I find it hard enough
to write a postcard.

703
00:43:28,606 --> 00:43:30,279
No, but I can.

704
00:43:30,358 --> 00:43:32,531
I can write a book,

705
00:43:32,610 --> 00:43:34,612
and you can put it
down on paper for me.

706
00:43:34,695 --> 00:43:36,117
What will the book be about?

707
00:43:36,197 --> 00:43:38,291
Me. The story of me life.

708
00:43:38,366 --> 00:43:41,620
And we'll call it, uh, let's see.

709
00:43:41,702 --> 00:43:43,454
We'll call it, uh,

710
00:43:43,913 --> 00:43:45,586
<i>Blood and Swash.</i>

711
00:43:46,749 --> 00:43:49,673
<i>Yes. Blood and Swash by Captain X.</i>

712
00:43:49,752 --> 00:43:51,971
I don't think that's
at all a nice title.

713
00:43:52,046 --> 00:43:53,468
It's not meant to be.

714
00:43:53,548 --> 00:43:56,472
It's meant to be sensational,
like the subject.

715
00:43:56,551 --> 00:43:59,100
But it takes months
to write a book.

716
00:43:59,178 --> 00:44:01,055
What are we to live on
in the meantime?

717
00:44:01,139 --> 00:44:03,016
- You have jewelry?
- A little.

718
00:44:03,099 --> 00:44:04,316
Pawn it.

719
00:44:04,392 --> 00:44:05,814
But I couldn't!

720
00:44:05,893 --> 00:44:08,191
Blast your eyes, madam.
Will you understand?

721
00:44:08,271 --> 00:44:10,194
You're trying to
crawl off a lee shore.

722
00:44:10,273 --> 00:44:11,399
Can't afford to be squeamish.

723
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:13,701
I do understand,
and don't swear at me.

724
00:44:13,776 --> 00:44:16,199
Start with that
ugly broach.

725
00:44:16,279 --> 00:44:18,202
But Edwin's mother
gave it to me.

726
00:44:18,281 --> 00:44:19,703
All the more reason
to pawn it.

727
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:23,412
You don't like Edwin's mother,
and you hate her broach.

728
00:44:23,494 --> 00:44:24,495
Hmm.

729
00:44:24,579 --> 00:44:26,297
Really, Captain Gregg.
I'll have you know

730
00:44:26,372 --> 00:44:28,045
I'm very fond
of my mother-in-law.

731
00:44:28,749 --> 00:44:30,626
Very well. if you're
so fond of her,

732
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:32,132
you can go back
and live with her.

733
00:44:40,928 --> 00:44:43,351
I think I can get
about £10 for it.

734
00:44:43,431 --> 00:44:46,810
Ah. I'm glad you're
going to be sensible,

735
00:44:46,893 --> 00:44:48,816
and since we're
to be collaborators,

736
00:44:48,895 --> 00:44:50,863
you can call me Daniel.

737
00:44:51,856 --> 00:44:53,233
That's very good of you.

738
00:44:53,316 --> 00:44:56,115
And I shall call you Lucia.

739
00:44:56,819 --> 00:44:58,287
My name is Lucy.

740
00:44:58,362 --> 00:45:00,831
It doesn't do you justice,
my dear.

741
00:45:00,907 --> 00:45:03,330
Women named Lucy are always
being imposed upon,

742
00:45:03,409 --> 00:45:06,663
but Lucia, now there's
a name for an amazon,

743
00:45:06,746 --> 00:45:08,248
for a queen.

744
00:45:08,331 --> 00:45:10,754
I don't feel much
like a queen.

745
00:45:10,833 --> 00:45:13,552
I feel frightened
and confused

746
00:45:13,628 --> 00:45:15,756
and wondering what
the future will bring.

747
00:45:15,838 --> 00:45:17,260
Don't you trust me?

748
00:45:17,340 --> 00:45:20,264
Oh, I do, Daniel,
when I'm talking to you.

749
00:45:20,343 --> 00:45:22,766
When you're not here, I...

750
00:45:22,845 --> 00:45:25,598
Well, it's asking a great deal
to expect anyone

751
00:45:25,681 --> 00:45:28,776
to trust her whole
future to a...

752
00:45:28,851 --> 00:45:30,444
To someone who isn't real.

753
00:45:30,519 --> 00:45:31,771
But I am real.

754
00:45:31,854 --> 00:45:34,482
I'm here because
you believe I'm here.

755
00:45:36,192 --> 00:45:38,286
And keep on believing,

756
00:45:38,361 --> 00:45:40,489
and I'll always
be real to you.

757
00:45:41,322 --> 00:45:42,869
Yes, Daniel.

758
00:46:14,647 --> 00:46:16,570
Well, what's the matter?

759
00:46:20,152 --> 00:46:21,574
You haven't finished
the sentence.

760
00:46:21,654 --> 00:46:23,452
I know. It's...

761
00:46:23,531 --> 00:46:25,579
It's that word.

762
00:46:25,658 --> 00:46:27,581
I've never written
such a word.

763
00:46:27,660 --> 00:46:29,082
It's a perfectly good word.

764
00:46:29,161 --> 00:46:31,084
I think it's a horrid word.

765
00:46:31,163 --> 00:46:33,086
It means what it says,
doesn't it?

766
00:46:33,165 --> 00:46:34,587
All too clearly.

767
00:46:34,667 --> 00:46:36,089
What word do you use

768
00:46:36,168 --> 00:46:37,590
if you wanted to
convey that meaning?

769
00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:38,762
I don't use any!

770
00:46:38,838 --> 00:46:39,885
Well, hang it all, Lucia.

771
00:46:39,964 --> 00:46:42,092
If you're going to be prudish,
we'll never get the book written.

772
00:46:42,174 --> 00:46:44,552
Now, put it down
the way I give it to you.

773
00:46:50,766 --> 00:46:52,609
Good.

774
00:46:52,685 --> 00:46:55,609
Now, at this point,
having had a drink,

775
00:46:55,688 --> 00:46:58,111
I went upstairs.

776
00:46:58,190 --> 00:46:59,442
Why?

777
00:46:59,525 --> 00:47:00,617
Why what?

778
00:47:00,693 --> 00:47:02,616
Why did you go upstairs?

779
00:47:02,695 --> 00:47:04,618
Because I saw no harm in it.

780
00:47:04,697 --> 00:47:06,950
You must have been
very young and foolish.

781
00:47:07,033 --> 00:47:08,535
I was young,
but I was never foolish.

782
00:47:08,617 --> 00:47:10,335
Inexperienced, perhaps,

783
00:47:10,411 --> 00:47:14,041
curious, as young men are,
eager for adventure.

784
00:47:14,123 --> 00:47:16,046
I matured early.

785
00:47:16,125 --> 00:47:18,048
I wish I'd known you then.

786
00:47:18,127 --> 00:47:19,549
How old were you, Daniel?

787
00:47:19,628 --> 00:47:22,051
16.
It was me first voyage.

788
00:47:22,131 --> 00:47:23,599
Only 16.

789
00:47:24,425 --> 00:47:26,052
I suppose you'd
run away from home.

790
00:47:26,135 --> 00:47:28,058
Yes. I was an orphan.

791
00:47:28,137 --> 00:47:32,267
Brought up by a maiden aunt
in a country village.

792
00:47:32,350 --> 00:47:34,569
Now, let's get on with it.
Where was I?

793
00:47:34,643 --> 00:47:35,815
Upstairs.

794
00:47:35,895 --> 00:47:37,522
Ah. yes!

795
00:47:37,605 --> 00:47:40,859
The customs of Marseilles
are different to any...

796
00:47:40,941 --> 00:47:42,363
Different from.

797
00:47:42,443 --> 00:47:44,366
To or from, who cares?

798
00:47:44,445 --> 00:47:46,618
This isn't a blasted
literary epic.

799
00:47:46,697 --> 00:47:49,041
It's the unvarnished story
of a seaman's life.

800
00:47:49,116 --> 00:47:51,539
It certainly is unvarnished.

801
00:47:51,619 --> 00:47:53,792
Well, smear on
your own varnish.

802
00:47:53,871 --> 00:47:55,293
Change the grammar
all you please,

803
00:47:55,373 --> 00:47:57,296
but leave the guts in it.

804
00:48:00,211 --> 00:48:01,303
I think it would be nice

805
00:48:01,379 --> 00:48:03,973
if we included a chapter
about your early life,

806
00:48:05,299 --> 00:48:06,551
your school days.

807
00:48:06,634 --> 00:48:09,854
I never went to school.
I was educated by the vicar.

808
00:48:09,929 --> 00:48:12,523
Poor man.
He must have had a dreadful time.

809
00:48:12,598 --> 00:48:15,021
He enjoyed every minute of it,

810
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:18,730
except for the time
I put a snake in this bed.

811
00:48:18,813 --> 00:48:20,941
You must have been
a horrid little boy.

812
00:48:21,023 --> 00:48:22,741
I suppose you were
a model of all the virtues

813
00:48:22,817 --> 00:48:24,945
- when you were 12.
- Certainly I was.

814
00:48:25,027 --> 00:48:27,246
I won a prize
for deportment at school.

815
00:48:27,321 --> 00:48:29,244
Hmm, I can see you.

816
00:48:29,323 --> 00:48:31,075
Fat little girl
in hair ribbons.

817
00:48:31,158 --> 00:48:33,377
- I wasn't fat. I was skinny.
- Just as bad.

818
00:48:33,452 --> 00:48:34,749
And I wore my hair in braids.

819
00:48:34,829 --> 00:48:36,251
And a thousand freckles.

820
00:48:38,249 --> 00:48:40,752
You still have freckles.

821
00:48:40,835 --> 00:48:42,758
Only seven of them,

822
00:48:42,837 --> 00:48:45,465
and I'm told
they're most becoming.

823
00:48:46,841 --> 00:48:49,310
They are at that.

824
00:48:52,138 --> 00:48:54,516
Good heavens! 11:00.

825
00:48:56,183 --> 00:48:58,777
I had no idea
it was so late.

826
00:48:58,853 --> 00:49:01,777
Yes. You had better be
getting some sleep.

827
00:49:01,856 --> 00:49:03,574
We'll put in
a full day tomorrow.

828
00:49:05,860 --> 00:49:10,240
Daniel, what did your aunt do
when you ran away to sea?

829
00:49:10,322 --> 00:49:12,575
Oh, probably thanked heaven
there was no one around

830
00:49:12,658 --> 00:49:14,877
to fill her house
with mongrel puppies

831
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:16,920
and track mud
on her carpets.

832
00:49:16,996 --> 00:49:18,794
Did she write to you?

833
00:49:18,873 --> 00:49:21,251
Every Sunday for seven years.

834
00:49:21,333 --> 00:49:24,257
I was at sea
when she died.

835
00:49:24,336 --> 00:49:26,213
It was the year
I got me mate's ticket.

836
00:49:33,345 --> 00:49:35,643
What are you
thinking about, Lucia?

837
00:49:35,723 --> 00:49:38,897
I'm thinking how lonely
she must have felt

838
00:49:38,976 --> 00:49:41,570
with her clean carpets.

839
00:50:21,310 --> 00:50:22,812
Seen that Coombe
in the village.

840
00:50:22,895 --> 00:50:24,192
He give me this for you.

841
00:50:24,271 --> 00:50:26,023
Thanks, Martha.

842
00:50:26,106 --> 00:50:28,359
It's another demand
for payment of the rent.

843
00:50:28,442 --> 00:50:30,365
He did say something
about sending the bailiffs

844
00:50:30,444 --> 00:50:31,866
to put us out.

845
00:50:32,780 --> 00:50:34,703
I've got a little money
put by, ma'am.

846
00:50:34,782 --> 00:50:36,750
There ain't been nothing
to spend it on here.

847
00:50:36,825 --> 00:50:38,293
Thank you, Martha,

848
00:50:38,369 --> 00:50:40,292
but I wouldn't dream
of taking it.

849
00:50:40,371 --> 00:50:42,294
We'll manage somehow.

850
00:50:42,790 --> 00:50:44,258
Yes, ma'am.

851
00:50:51,507 --> 00:50:53,726
It's unimportant.
Don't worry about it.

852
00:50:53,801 --> 00:50:55,223
What if he sends the bailiffs?

853
00:50:55,302 --> 00:50:56,724
I'll handle them.

854
00:50:56,804 --> 00:51:00,183
Bailiffs are nothing
but sea lawyers come ashore.

855
00:51:00,266 --> 00:51:02,189
I'm so tired, Daniel.

856
00:51:02,268 --> 00:51:04,691
I can't see straight
or think straight.

857
00:51:04,770 --> 00:51:06,192
Now then,

858
00:51:06,272 --> 00:51:08,741
there's only one more
chapter to do.

859
00:51:08,816 --> 00:51:10,784
Better be at it.

860
00:51:13,279 --> 00:51:14,451
Lucia!

861
00:51:16,282 --> 00:51:18,205
I'm ready, Daniel.

862
00:51:18,284 --> 00:51:19,706
Good, my dear.

863
00:51:23,914 --> 00:51:24,915
To all who follow

864
00:51:24,999 --> 00:51:28,219
the hard and honorable
profession of the sea,

865
00:51:28,294 --> 00:51:31,218
to the after-guard
and forecastle alike,

866
00:51:31,297 --> 00:51:35,222
to masters, mates,
and engineers,

867
00:51:35,301 --> 00:51:38,225
to able-bodied
and ordinary seamen,

868
00:51:38,304 --> 00:51:41,729
to stokers, apprentices,
ship's boys,

869
00:51:41,807 --> 00:51:44,731
carpenters, sailmakers,
and sea cooks,

870
00:51:45,769 --> 00:51:47,692
I dedicate this volume.

871
00:51:49,648 --> 00:51:50,740
The end.

872
00:51:50,816 --> 00:51:52,238
The end.

873
00:51:52,318 --> 00:51:55,242
Now, tomorrow
you'll take it to the publishers.

874
00:51:55,321 --> 00:51:57,449
I hope they like it.

875
00:51:57,531 --> 00:51:58,874
They must like it.

876
00:51:58,949 --> 00:52:00,667
They will.

877
00:52:00,743 --> 00:52:02,666
It's strange. I...

878
00:52:02,745 --> 00:52:05,669
I didn't think so at first.

879
00:52:05,748 --> 00:52:08,672
Somehow it's a very wise book.

880
00:52:08,751 --> 00:52:12,005
It has elements of wisdom
in it, my dear.

881
00:52:12,087 --> 00:52:13,634
I didn't lead
a very wise life myself,

882
00:52:13,714 --> 00:52:17,309
but it was a full one
and a grown-up one.

883
00:52:19,595 --> 00:52:23,441
You come of age very quickly
through shipwreck and disaster.

884
00:52:24,433 --> 00:52:27,061
I never understood
the sea before,

885
00:52:27,144 --> 00:52:29,238
or the men who go to sea.

886
00:52:30,689 --> 00:52:32,612
Why did you write
the book, Daniel?

887
00:52:32,691 --> 00:52:34,944
It wasn't merely to
save the house for me.

888
00:52:35,027 --> 00:52:36,119
Partly that.

889
00:52:36,195 --> 00:52:40,621
For you and the retired seamen
you'll leave it to in your will,

890
00:52:40,699 --> 00:52:43,623
but mostly to help
people understand,

891
00:52:43,702 --> 00:52:45,670
to make them understand.

892
00:52:45,746 --> 00:52:48,215
All those
comfortable swabs

893
00:52:48,290 --> 00:52:50,713
who sit at home
in their beam-ends

894
00:52:50,793 --> 00:52:51,965
reveling in the luxuries

895
00:52:52,044 --> 00:52:55,218
that seamen risk their lives
to bring to them,

896
00:52:55,297 --> 00:52:56,423
and despising
the poor devils

897
00:52:56,507 --> 00:52:58,760
if they so much as touch
a drop of rum,

898
00:53:00,094 --> 00:53:04,019
and even sneering at people
who try to do them some good

899
00:53:04,098 --> 00:53:06,100
like you and me.

900
00:53:10,938 --> 00:53:12,986
Well, uh.

901
00:53:13,065 --> 00:53:15,488
Tomorrow, the publishers.

902
00:53:15,567 --> 00:53:17,990
Tacket and Sproule
in Great Smith Street.

903
00:53:18,070 --> 00:53:19,993
Now be sure you see
Sproule.

904
00:53:20,072 --> 00:53:22,325
He owned a small
sailing yacht.

905
00:53:22,408 --> 00:53:24,502
He came in fourth
in a club regatta once

906
00:53:24,576 --> 00:53:27,876
and fancies himself as the very devil
of a seafaring man.

907
00:53:29,748 --> 00:53:33,503
To tell you the truth, he doesn't know
a crossjack from a scuttlebutt.

908
00:53:33,585 --> 00:53:35,007
Yes, Daniel.

909
00:53:48,267 --> 00:53:50,019
Ship out there.

910
00:53:50,102 --> 00:53:52,025
Too close, by the sound.

911
00:53:52,104 --> 00:53:54,357
It's the loneliest sound,

912
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,535
like a child lost
and crying in the dark.

913
00:53:57,609 --> 00:53:59,611
Hmm, he's lost, all right,

914
00:53:59,695 --> 00:54:01,948
with a captain cursing a blue streak

915
00:54:02,030 --> 00:54:03,452
and wondering why
he ever went to sea

916
00:54:03,532 --> 00:54:05,284
instead of opening
a grocer's shop

917
00:54:05,367 --> 00:54:07,165
like a sensible man.

918
00:54:08,537 --> 00:54:11,290
Fog in the channel
is treacherous.

919
00:54:11,373 --> 00:54:13,296
I'd rather face
a northeaster.

920
00:54:13,375 --> 00:54:15,969
Still, it's honest, the sea.

921
00:54:16,044 --> 00:54:19,014
It makes you face things honestly,
doesn't it?

922
00:54:20,382 --> 00:54:22,976
There's something on your mind.

923
00:54:23,051 --> 00:54:24,098
Yes.

924
00:54:25,554 --> 00:54:27,977
What's to become of us, Daniel?

925
00:54:28,056 --> 00:54:29,478
Of you and me?

926
00:54:29,558 --> 00:54:31,981
Nothing can become of me.

927
00:54:32,060 --> 00:54:35,485
Everything's happened
that can happen.

928
00:54:35,564 --> 00:54:37,532
But not to me.

929
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:39,993
When we were
writing the book,

930
00:54:40,068 --> 00:54:41,490
I was happy.

931
00:54:41,570 --> 00:54:43,538
We were accomplishing
something together.

932
00:54:44,907 --> 00:54:47,877
Now, when I try to
think about the future,

933
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:51,000
it's all dark and confused,

934
00:54:51,079 --> 00:54:54,549
like trying to see into the fog.

935
00:54:56,585 --> 00:54:59,714
You've been working too hard,
cooped up in the house too long.

936
00:54:59,797 --> 00:55:01,470
You need a change of scene.

937
00:55:01,548 --> 00:55:02,765
But I love it here.

938
00:55:02,841 --> 00:55:04,434
You should be out
in the world more,

939
00:55:04,510 --> 00:55:05,932
meeting people.

940
00:55:08,388 --> 00:55:09,731
Seeing men.

941
00:55:09,807 --> 00:55:11,809
I have no desire
to see men.

942
00:55:11,892 --> 00:55:13,860
You should, Lucia.

943
00:55:13,936 --> 00:55:17,657
You're a confoundedly
attractive woman,

944
00:55:17,731 --> 00:55:19,984
or hadn't you noticed?

945
00:55:20,067 --> 00:55:23,287
Really, my dear,
you owe it to yourself.

946
00:55:25,572 --> 00:55:26,994
Yes, Daniel.

947
00:55:30,577 --> 00:55:31,669
Good night.

948
00:55:31,745 --> 00:55:32,997
Good night.

949
00:55:35,582 --> 00:55:37,175
My dear.

950
00:55:56,603 --> 00:55:59,777
Oh, Daniel, I'm afraid
we've got ourselves

951
00:55:59,857 --> 00:56:01,951
into an awful fix.

952
00:56:45,235 --> 00:56:47,488
I should like to see
Mr. Sproule, please.

953
00:56:47,571 --> 00:56:49,073
I see you're back,
Mr. Fairley.

954
00:56:49,156 --> 00:56:50,248
Obviously.

955
00:56:50,324 --> 00:56:51,997
Have you decided to wait?

956
00:56:52,075 --> 00:56:53,998
Forever if I must.

957
00:56:54,077 --> 00:56:56,830
I should like to see
Mr. Sproule, please.

958
00:56:56,914 --> 00:56:59,008
Can't see Mr. Sproule
without an appointment.

959
00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:00,925
But I have a manuscript.

960
00:57:01,001 --> 00:57:03,720
So you have a manuscript.
Most unusual.

961
00:57:03,795 --> 00:57:06,344
No more so than your adenoids
and your bad manners.

962
00:57:06,423 --> 00:57:08,596
Now, take the lady's name.

963
00:57:08,675 --> 00:57:09,801
Leave your name.

964
00:57:09,885 --> 00:57:11,432
Mrs. Edwin Muir.

965
00:57:11,511 --> 00:57:12,933
Mrs...

966
00:57:13,013 --> 00:57:16,608
Mrs. Edwin Muir.

967
00:57:16,683 --> 00:57:19,937
Gull Cottage,
Whitecliff-by-the-sea.

968
00:57:20,020 --> 00:57:22,944
Can't I have just a few moments
with Mr. Sproule now?

969
00:57:23,023 --> 00:57:24,991
I've come all the way in
from Whitecliff.

970
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:27,577
All for now.

971
00:57:39,539 --> 00:57:41,792
Is it a cookbook?

972
00:57:41,875 --> 00:57:45,129
I hope not another "life of Byron".

973
00:57:45,212 --> 00:57:47,214
Or is it
a book of dreams?

974
00:57:50,050 --> 00:57:51,472
You're trying
to give me a hint.

975
00:57:51,551 --> 00:57:53,019
Has it something
to do with ice?

976
00:57:56,890 --> 00:57:59,439
Is it really very important
for you to see old Sproule?

977
00:57:59,518 --> 00:58:00,940
Yes, so important.

978
00:58:01,019 --> 00:58:02,441
Then see him you shall,

979
00:58:02,521 --> 00:58:05,491
and it is your good fortune
that I'm not only irresponsible,

980
00:58:05,565 --> 00:58:06,987
but also unreasonable.

981
00:58:07,067 --> 00:58:08,159
I don't understand.

982
00:58:08,235 --> 00:58:10,112
I had an appointment
at 11 :00.

983
00:58:10,195 --> 00:58:12,448
I arrived at 10:30
and wouldn't wait.

984
00:58:12,531 --> 00:58:15,455
I'm only here now
because I followed you back.

985
00:58:15,534 --> 00:58:17,252
So you may have
my appointment,

986
00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:19,079
for which you
are just in time.

987
00:58:19,162 --> 00:58:21,005
That's very good of you,
but I'm afraid I can't...

988
00:58:21,081 --> 00:58:22,924
Now, my dear young woman,

989
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,219
if you will set aside
your book of social graces

990
00:58:25,293 --> 00:58:27,011
for just long enough
to seize an opportunity

991
00:58:27,087 --> 00:58:28,964
that you want very much

992
00:58:29,047 --> 00:58:32,642
by merely indulging a small
natural selfish instinct.

993
00:58:32,718 --> 00:58:35,141
Without doubt, sir, you are
the most forward gentleman

994
00:58:35,220 --> 00:58:36,472
I have ever encountered.

995
00:58:36,555 --> 00:58:37,977
Without doubt.

996
00:58:38,056 --> 00:58:39,478
Mr. Fairley.

997
00:58:39,558 --> 00:58:41,981
- Forward.
- No, no. I couldn't.

998
00:58:42,060 --> 00:58:44,233
- It's quite all right.
- No, really.

999
00:58:46,565 --> 00:58:48,067
Here now...

1000
00:58:48,150 --> 00:58:51,074
She's mad about you.
Couldn't you tell?

1001
00:58:51,153 --> 00:58:52,700
Come in, Fairley.
Come in.

1002
00:58:52,779 --> 00:58:54,156
Your new book is terrible,

1003
00:58:54,239 --> 00:58:57,288
the most awful trash
I've had on my desk since...

1004
00:58:57,784 --> 00:58:58,876
Who are you?

1005
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,498
I'm... That is...

1006
00:59:02,581 --> 00:59:03,673
Who let you in?

1007
00:59:03,749 --> 00:59:06,377
Why, the gentleman outside
said it was all right.

1008
00:59:06,460 --> 00:59:08,383
He did, did he?

1009
00:59:08,462 --> 00:59:09,930
Well, it isn't all right,

1010
00:59:10,005 --> 00:59:11,552
and I'll trouble you
take yourself elsewhere.

1011
00:59:11,631 --> 00:59:13,929
Please, Mr. Sproule.

1012
00:59:14,009 --> 00:59:16,728
I simply had to get in
to see you.

1013
00:59:16,803 --> 00:59:17,929
I have a manuscript.

1014
00:59:18,013 --> 00:59:19,811
Of course you have.

1015
00:59:19,890 --> 00:59:22,734
20 million discontented females
in the British Isles

1016
00:59:22,809 --> 00:59:24,903
and every blessed one of them
is writing a novel.

1017
00:59:24,978 --> 00:59:27,231
Don't tell me what's in it.
I know.

1018
00:59:27,314 --> 00:59:29,908
Bless my soul, madam,
I've got to publish this bilge

1019
00:59:29,983 --> 00:59:32,702
in order to stay in business,
but I don't have to read it.

1020
00:59:32,778 --> 00:59:34,405
No, madam, I do not.

1021
00:59:34,488 --> 00:59:36,741
And now if you'll pardon me,
I'm busy.

1022
00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:39,167
<i>Come back here,
you blasted grampus!</i>

1023
00:59:45,165 --> 00:59:46,462
Madam.

1024
00:59:49,336 --> 00:59:51,179
You're such
a nice-looking woman, too.

1025
00:59:51,254 --> 00:59:54,098
I'm terribly sorry,
Mr. Sproule.

1026
00:59:54,174 --> 00:59:56,097
I didn't mean to say that,

1027
00:59:56,176 --> 00:59:58,099
but you're all wrong
about the book.

1028
00:59:58,178 --> 01:00:01,102
It isn't what you think at all.

1029
01:00:01,181 --> 01:00:02,774
It's a biography.

1030
01:00:02,849 --> 01:00:05,602
It's the unvarnished record
of a sailor's life.

1031
01:00:05,685 --> 01:00:07,653
A sailor's life, eh?

1032
01:00:10,565 --> 01:00:12,488
I ask your pardon, madam,

1033
01:00:12,567 --> 01:00:13,944
but what do you know
about sailors?

1034
01:00:14,027 --> 01:00:15,950
A great deal, believe me.

1035
01:00:16,029 --> 01:00:17,030
Hmm.

1036
01:00:18,073 --> 01:00:20,542
Unvarnished, you say?

1037
01:00:21,118 --> 01:00:24,668
Well, perhaps I have time
for a few pages, at that.

1038
01:00:37,592 --> 01:00:40,095
- What's your name?
- Mrs. Muir.

1039
01:00:55,152 --> 01:00:58,031
I have been waiting here
for three hours.

1040
01:00:58,113 --> 01:00:59,990
I consider it outrageous!

1041
01:01:12,127 --> 01:01:13,549
Still in there?

1042
01:01:13,628 --> 01:01:15,255
Sent luncheon in at 2:00.

1043
01:01:15,338 --> 01:01:16,715
For two?

1044
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:29,945
Well! You're not going to pretend
that you wrote this.

1045
01:01:30,020 --> 01:01:31,146
No.

1046
01:01:31,229 --> 01:01:33,197
No. It's a man's book,

1047
01:01:33,273 --> 01:01:35,196
and what a man.

1048
01:01:35,275 --> 01:01:37,653
Is he your husband,
Mrs. Muir?

1049
01:01:37,736 --> 01:01:39,283
Oh, no.

1050
01:01:40,822 --> 01:01:44,497
This Captain X,
I'd like very much to meet him.

1051
01:01:44,576 --> 01:01:47,170
I'm afraid
that's impossible.

1052
01:01:47,245 --> 01:01:48,838
He's away.

1053
01:01:48,914 --> 01:01:50,006
On a voyage, of course.

1054
01:01:50,081 --> 01:01:52,925
Yes. A very long voyage.

1055
01:01:53,001 --> 01:01:56,175
Bless my soul,
what a yarn!

1056
01:01:56,254 --> 01:01:58,552
What a life!

1057
01:01:58,632 --> 01:02:00,054
I'll tell you a secret.

1058
01:02:00,133 --> 01:02:03,057
If I hadn't had a mother
and two sisters to support,

1059
01:02:03,136 --> 01:02:05,059
I'd have gone
to sea myself.

1060
01:02:05,138 --> 01:02:08,062
Bless my soul,
to live like that!

1061
01:02:08,141 --> 01:02:10,644
Instead of sitting there
turning out

1062
01:02:10,727 --> 01:02:13,150
indigestible reading matter
for a bilious public.

1063
01:02:14,481 --> 01:02:16,859
Of course we'll publish it,
Mrs. Muir.

1064
01:02:16,942 --> 01:02:18,740
Now, you're empowered by
the captain to act for him?

1065
01:02:18,818 --> 01:02:20,741
Yes. He's given me the rights.

1066
01:02:20,820 --> 01:02:22,743
Good. Well, my dear,

1067
01:02:22,822 --> 01:02:25,666
you presented me
with a most enjoyable day.

1068
01:02:25,742 --> 01:02:28,165
Bless my soul,
yes, remarkable.

1069
01:02:28,245 --> 01:02:30,247
Now, you just leave
everything to me

1070
01:02:30,330 --> 01:02:32,674
and be happy that
you know such a man.

1071
01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:35,047
There aren't many
like him these days.

1072
01:02:35,126 --> 01:02:36,594
You appreciate that?

1073
01:02:36,670 --> 01:02:38,172
Yes, I think so.

1074
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:41,175
Well, goodbye, Mr. Sproule.

1075
01:02:41,258 --> 01:02:42,726
Goodbye, Mrs. Muir.

1076
01:02:42,801 --> 01:02:43,927
Goodbye.

1077
01:02:50,350 --> 01:02:52,023
Mr. Fairley.

1078
01:02:52,143 --> 01:02:53,565
Coming.

1079
01:03:08,702 --> 01:03:09,919
It's easy to understand

1080
01:03:09,995 --> 01:03:12,464
why the most beautiful poems
about England in the spring

1081
01:03:12,539 --> 01:03:14,883
were written by poets
living in Italy at the time.

1082
01:03:14,958 --> 01:03:16,130
How do you do?

1083
01:03:16,209 --> 01:03:17,836
I'm not a poet,
but I've got an umbrella,

1084
01:03:17,919 --> 01:03:19,387
and your hat,
if I may say so,

1085
01:03:19,462 --> 01:03:21,885
is singularly inadequate
under the circumstances.

1086
01:03:21,965 --> 01:03:25,139
I didn't bargain
for this blasted rain.

1087
01:03:25,218 --> 01:03:26,765
That is, I'm afraid
I shall be late

1088
01:03:26,845 --> 01:03:29,644
and miss the last train
for home.

1089
01:03:29,723 --> 01:03:31,475
I could call you a cab,

1090
01:03:32,851 --> 01:03:34,774
if you ask nicely.

1091
01:03:37,897 --> 01:03:39,899
Oy! Cab!

1092
01:03:53,455 --> 01:03:55,298
- Where to?
- Victoria.

1093
01:03:55,373 --> 01:03:57,796
Victoria. What a coincidence.
Victoria, cabby.

1094
01:04:02,464 --> 01:04:05,092
I know you won't mind
sharing my cab with me, will you?

1095
01:04:05,175 --> 01:04:06,768
Not at all.

1096
01:04:10,138 --> 01:04:12,561
The word you're looking for is "brass."

1097
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:14,062
Brass?

1098
01:04:14,142 --> 01:04:15,314
To describe my behavior and me.

1099
01:04:15,393 --> 01:04:17,020
You don't approve of either, do you?

1100
01:04:17,103 --> 01:04:18,571
Not very much.

1101
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:20,944
Still, in a way I should
be grateful to you.

1102
01:04:21,024 --> 01:04:23,868
Of course, why?

1103
01:04:23,943 --> 01:04:27,197
Because Mr. Sproule has agreed
to publish my book.

1104
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:30,033
Splendid. So the old boy

1105
01:04:30,116 --> 01:04:32,084
has developed a weakness
for feminine literature, has he?

1106
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,583
I can't say
that it's one of mine.

1107
01:04:34,662 --> 01:04:37,586
This book
might surprise you.

1108
01:04:37,665 --> 01:04:38,837
It's surprising enough

1109
01:04:38,917 --> 01:04:41,716
to find a lady author
infinitely more exciting

1110
01:04:41,795 --> 01:04:44,048
than her heroine
could possibly be.

1111
01:04:45,673 --> 01:04:48,096
Do you write, Mr...

1112
01:04:48,176 --> 01:04:50,645
My name is Miles Fairley.
Yes, I write a little.

1113
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:52,097
Children's books.

1114
01:04:52,180 --> 01:04:54,603
Children's books? You?

1115
01:04:54,682 --> 01:04:56,605
I should like to see one.

1116
01:04:56,684 --> 01:04:58,607
I'm afraid you already have.

1117
01:04:58,686 --> 01:05:02,566
I write under the name
of Uncle Neddy.

1118
01:05:02,649 --> 01:05:05,573
Uncle Neddy?
You're Uncle Neddy?

1119
01:05:05,652 --> 01:05:07,575
Ridiculous, isn't it?

1120
01:05:07,654 --> 01:05:10,578
Then all of your cynicism
must be nothing but a pose.

1121
01:05:10,657 --> 01:05:13,581
You're adored by half
the children in the world.

1122
01:05:13,660 --> 01:05:15,412
Uncle Neddy is a pose.

1123
01:05:15,495 --> 01:05:17,418
Deep in
my innermost heart,

1124
01:05:17,497 --> 01:05:19,420
I loathe
the little monsters.

1125
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:22,589
My little daughter
is not a monster,

1126
01:05:22,669 --> 01:05:24,592
and she'll be
very excited to know

1127
01:05:24,671 --> 01:05:27,094
I've been talking
to her favorite author.

1128
01:05:27,173 --> 01:05:30,097
I shall make an exception
of your daughter.

1129
01:05:30,176 --> 01:05:31,974
I'm looking forward
to meeting her

1130
01:05:32,053 --> 01:05:33,976
and your husband, too.

1131
01:05:34,055 --> 01:05:36,149
- My husband is dead.
- Oh.

1132
01:05:38,643 --> 01:05:39,735
Oh?

1133
01:05:41,020 --> 01:05:43,148
I do wish he'd hurry.

1134
01:05:44,524 --> 01:05:46,822
Well, there's no rush now.

1135
01:05:46,901 --> 01:05:49,029
We'll get there in time.

1136
01:05:54,242 --> 01:05:55,869
Here's an empty one.

1137
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:00,957
Well, goodbye, Mrs. Muir.

1138
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:03,134
Goodbye, Mr. Fairley,
and thank you very much.

1139
01:06:03,209 --> 01:06:05,052
Not at all.
Are you all right?

1140
01:06:05,128 --> 01:06:07,722
Yes, quite all right.
Thank you.

1141
01:06:08,923 --> 01:06:10,721
Cheero!

1142
01:06:41,915 --> 01:06:44,088
- "Cheero."
- Oh.

1143
01:06:44,792 --> 01:06:46,510
You've been eavesdropping.

1144
01:06:46,586 --> 01:06:48,509
"Feminine literature."

1145
01:06:48,588 --> 01:06:50,511
What's he mean,
"Feminine literature"?

1146
01:06:50,590 --> 01:06:52,513
He had no way of knowing
it's your book.

1147
01:06:52,592 --> 01:06:54,014
Brass, he says.

1148
01:06:54,093 --> 01:06:57,017
I'll polish his brass for him.

1149
01:06:57,096 --> 01:06:58,518
And the way he was
smirking at you,

1150
01:06:58,598 --> 01:07:00,441
like a cat
at a fishmonger's.

1151
01:07:00,517 --> 01:07:01,643
You should have
slapped his face.

1152
01:07:01,726 --> 01:07:05,447
Why?
I found him rather charming.

1153
01:07:05,522 --> 01:07:08,446
Rather charming.
Now you're starting to talk like him.

1154
01:07:08,525 --> 01:07:09,868
How in blazes do you
want me to talk?

1155
01:07:09,943 --> 01:07:10,990
That's better.

1156
01:07:11,069 --> 01:07:14,118
I think you're being
extremely childish.

1157
01:07:14,197 --> 01:07:15,449
I'm only trying to
protect you

1158
01:07:15,532 --> 01:07:16,624
from your
own worse instincts.

1159
01:07:16,699 --> 01:07:18,952
I'll manage my own instincts,
thank you.

1160
01:07:19,035 --> 01:07:20,207
What made you lie
to the blighter?

1161
01:07:20,286 --> 01:07:21,378
I didn't lie to him.

1162
01:07:21,454 --> 01:07:23,582
You did. You told him he was
Anna's favorite author.

1163
01:07:23,665 --> 01:07:26,214
You know perfectly well
she hates Uncle Neddy

1164
01:07:26,292 --> 01:07:29,421
<i>and reads nothing but Deadeye Dick,
the Rover of the Spanish Main.</i>

1165
01:07:29,504 --> 01:07:31,472
Well, I had to say something.

1166
01:07:31,548 --> 01:07:34,973
Hmm. You should have
pushed him out of the cab.

1167
01:07:35,051 --> 01:07:37,645
In another minute,
I would have.

1168
01:07:38,221 --> 01:07:40,940
Why, Daniel,
I believe you're jealous.

1169
01:07:41,015 --> 01:07:42,312
Of course
I'm not jealous!

1170
01:07:42,392 --> 01:07:44,986
Do you take me
for a blasted schoolboy?

1171
01:07:45,061 --> 01:07:47,610
Besides, jealousy
is a disease of the flesh.

1172
01:07:47,689 --> 01:07:50,442
I've never known you
to be so disagreeable,

1173
01:07:50,525 --> 01:07:52,323
today of all days.

1174
01:07:52,402 --> 01:07:54,279
What's so wonderful
about today?

1175
01:07:54,362 --> 01:07:55,784
The book, Daniel.

1176
01:07:55,863 --> 01:07:57,615
Mr. Sproule liked the book.

1177
01:07:57,699 --> 01:07:59,918
Of course he liked it.

1178
01:07:59,993 --> 01:08:02,416
And now I can buy
the house.

1179
01:08:05,999 --> 01:08:07,922
Just as we planned.

1180
01:08:08,001 --> 01:08:09,423
I'm not sure
I want you to have

1181
01:08:09,502 --> 01:08:11,095
the blasted house after all.

1182
01:08:11,170 --> 01:08:13,423
Oh, Daniel, please.

1183
01:08:13,506 --> 01:08:16,931
I suppose being a woman,
you can't help it.

1184
01:08:17,010 --> 01:08:18,432
Can't help what?

1185
01:08:18,511 --> 01:08:20,434
Making a fool of yourself.

1186
01:08:20,513 --> 01:08:22,936
Daniel, you stop sulking.

1187
01:08:23,016 --> 01:08:25,940
You yourself said that
I should mix with people,

1188
01:08:26,019 --> 01:08:28,613
that I should see men.

1189
01:08:28,688 --> 01:08:31,441
I said men, not perfumed
parlor snakes.

1190
01:08:31,524 --> 01:08:34,448
He's a man
and a very nice one.

1191
01:08:34,527 --> 01:08:37,406
Anyway, I shall never
see him again.

1192
01:08:37,864 --> 01:08:38,990
Hmm.

1193
01:08:40,199 --> 01:08:42,952
Cheer off, you blasted mud turtle!
There's no room!

1194
01:08:43,036 --> 01:08:45,038
I beg your pardon, madam.

1195
01:09:11,856 --> 01:09:14,780
Will my name stay there
forever, Mr. Scroggins?

1196
01:09:14,859 --> 01:09:16,782
Mmm-hmm.
Forever and a day,

1197
01:09:16,861 --> 01:09:18,329
and I've cut it
nice and deep

1198
01:09:18,404 --> 01:09:22,284
so all the ships at sea
can see it as they sail along.

1199
01:09:22,367 --> 01:09:24,790
My goodness!

1200
01:09:31,876 --> 01:09:33,093
Mummy!

1201
01:09:35,213 --> 01:09:38,433
Mummy, come and see
what Mr. Scroggins has done!

1202
01:09:38,508 --> 01:09:40,431
I'll be right out, darling!

1203
01:10:00,905 --> 01:10:03,033
Mr. Scroggins says
I'll always be here,

1204
01:10:03,116 --> 01:10:04,663
and all the captains
of all the ships

1205
01:10:04,742 --> 01:10:06,995
will look at me
through spyglasses.

1206
01:10:07,078 --> 01:10:09,422
Why, that's very thoughtful
of Mr. Scroggins.

1207
01:10:09,497 --> 01:10:10,999
Just think of all
the lovely shipwrecks

1208
01:10:11,082 --> 01:10:12,550
we'll have on this beach.

1209
01:10:12,625 --> 01:10:14,548
Now, in the meantime,
what do you say to getting dressed

1210
01:10:14,627 --> 01:10:15,799
and plotting
our course for home?

1211
01:10:15,878 --> 01:10:18,051
Oh, please, Mummy!
Mr. Scroggins and I

1212
01:10:18,131 --> 01:10:20,384
have got to build
a breakwater and a canal!

1213
01:10:20,466 --> 01:10:23,015
I'll be pleased
to bring her home, ma'am.

1214
01:10:23,094 --> 01:10:26,018
All right, Skipper,
but mind you're not too late.

1215
01:11:09,682 --> 01:11:12,481
Life is just one coincidence
after another, isn't it?

1216
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:14,904
Thank you for returning
my handkerchief, Mr. Fairley.

1217
01:11:14,979 --> 01:11:16,481
I feel rather ashamed
about having taken it.

1218
01:11:16,564 --> 01:11:17,736
You should be.

1219
01:11:17,815 --> 01:11:18,987
Only as a writer,
of course.

1220
01:11:19,066 --> 01:11:20,784
It was much
too obvious a device.

1221
01:11:20,860 --> 01:11:22,157
And in questionable taste.

1222
01:11:22,236 --> 01:11:23,829
But very necessary.

1223
01:11:23,905 --> 01:11:25,657
I wanted to have
something of you

1224
01:11:25,740 --> 01:11:27,413
until I saw you again.

1225
01:11:30,870 --> 01:11:33,339
You're quite accomplished,
aren't you?

1226
01:11:33,414 --> 01:11:35,166
I should think
being Uncle Neddy

1227
01:11:35,249 --> 01:11:37,172
would satisfy anyone.

1228
01:11:37,251 --> 01:11:39,424
No. I also paint,

1229
01:11:39,504 --> 01:11:41,177
under the name of Renoir.

1230
01:11:41,255 --> 01:11:42,677
You're such a fool.

1231
01:11:42,757 --> 01:11:44,304
That's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.

1232
01:11:44,383 --> 01:11:46,852
And what, if anything,
do you do as Miles Fairley?

1233
01:11:46,928 --> 01:11:48,680
Play the fool, generally.

1234
01:11:49,096 --> 01:11:50,814
Specifically, I behave
quite idiotically

1235
01:11:50,890 --> 01:11:53,143
towards a certain young lady
that I fell in love with

1236
01:11:53,226 --> 01:11:55,320
while passing on a stair.

1237
01:11:55,394 --> 01:11:56,987
Mr. Fairley, please.

1238
01:11:57,063 --> 01:11:58,986
I have no illusions
about my conduct.

1239
01:11:59,899 --> 01:12:02,573
Am I being unforgivably
offensive, Lucy?

1240
01:12:02,652 --> 01:12:04,029
Lucy?

1241
01:12:04,111 --> 01:12:06,034
That's your name.

1242
01:12:06,113 --> 01:12:09,538
It's been so long
since anyone called me that.

1243
01:12:09,617 --> 01:12:13,167
No, you've done nothing
really unforgivable.

1244
01:12:13,246 --> 01:12:16,045
It's just that I'm not...

1245
01:12:16,123 --> 01:12:18,626
Come and take a look
at my canvas.

1246
01:12:20,419 --> 01:12:22,638
Why, it's me.

1247
01:12:22,713 --> 01:12:25,136
You've been painting me.

1248
01:12:25,216 --> 01:12:26,889
You've been
watching me bathe.

1249
01:12:26,968 --> 01:12:29,437
But always from
a respectable distance.

1250
01:12:31,514 --> 01:12:34,358
Not too bad, is it?

1251
01:12:34,433 --> 01:12:37,778
I think
it's very flattering, really...

1252
01:12:38,729 --> 01:12:41,653
it will need
a thousand Renoirs.

1253
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,163
That was unforgivable,
wasn't it?

1254
01:12:52,952 --> 01:12:55,705
But I shall not go away,
even if you send me,

1255
01:12:55,788 --> 01:12:59,167
and I shall see you again,
even if you forbid it.

1256
01:12:59,250 --> 01:13:02,094
I'm sure I have no control
over where you go

1257
01:13:02,169 --> 01:13:04,592
or what you do.

1258
01:13:04,672 --> 01:13:06,640
Then you won't forbid it.

1259
01:13:31,324 --> 01:13:34,498
So now you've been kissed
in the orchard all over again.

1260
01:13:34,577 --> 01:13:35,999
You've been spying on me.

1261
01:13:36,078 --> 01:13:38,206
I merely happened to be
cruising in the vicinity.

1262
01:13:38,289 --> 01:13:39,415
I don't believe you.

1263
01:13:39,498 --> 01:13:40,875
Why did you let him?

1264
01:13:40,958 --> 01:13:44,132
I didn't.
He took me unaware.

1265
01:13:45,838 --> 01:13:47,715
My dear,
since Eve picked the apple,

1266
01:13:47,798 --> 01:13:50,722
no woman's ever been
taken entirely unawares.

1267
01:13:50,801 --> 01:13:52,849
Just what do you mean
to insinuate by that?

1268
01:13:52,929 --> 01:13:54,101
When a woman's kissed,

1269
01:13:54,180 --> 01:13:57,229
it's because deep down
she wants to be kissed.

1270
01:13:57,308 --> 01:13:59,481
That is nothing
but masculine conceit.

1271
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,528
Nevertheless, it's true.

1272
01:14:01,604 --> 01:14:02,776
Well, now what happens?

1273
01:14:02,855 --> 01:14:04,607
He'll stay, or he'll go away.

1274
01:14:04,690 --> 01:14:07,113
It doesn't matter to me
one way or the other.

1275
01:14:07,860 --> 01:14:10,329
I think it matters to you
more than you'll admit.

1276
01:14:10,738 --> 01:14:11,864
Isn't that so, Lucia?

1277
01:14:11,948 --> 01:14:13,495
Why bother
to ask me, Daniel?

1278
01:14:13,574 --> 01:14:16,544
You seem to know my mind
better than I do.

1279
01:14:17,244 --> 01:14:19,667
You don't like him, do you?

1280
01:14:19,747 --> 01:14:21,215
He puts brilliantine
on his hair.

1281
01:14:21,290 --> 01:14:22,462
Most men do.

1282
01:14:22,541 --> 01:14:25,215
And he uses perfume.
Blasted near drove me out of his room.

1283
01:14:25,294 --> 01:14:27,137
You shouldn't have been
in his room in the first place.

1284
01:14:27,213 --> 01:14:28,635
So you can find an excuse
for everything.

1285
01:14:28,714 --> 01:14:30,933
Only because you're
attacking him, Daniel.

1286
01:14:31,008 --> 01:14:33,136
I know.
It's a natural human reaction.

1287
01:14:33,219 --> 01:14:35,142
I wish you wouldn't be so superior

1288
01:14:35,221 --> 01:14:37,644
just because you're not alive.

1289
01:14:37,723 --> 01:14:39,725
And he is, very much so.

1290
01:14:39,809 --> 01:14:41,561
It's no crime to be alive.

1291
01:14:41,644 --> 01:14:44,864
No, my dear.
Sometimes it's a great inconvenience.

1292
01:14:44,939 --> 01:14:46,737
The living can be hurt.

1293
01:14:46,816 --> 01:14:48,568
I don't intend to be hurt.

1294
01:14:48,651 --> 01:14:51,495
No captain intends to pile his ship
up on a reef, but it happens.

1295
01:14:51,570 --> 01:14:53,618
You yourself said I should
go about in the world.

1296
01:14:53,698 --> 01:14:56,167
That means taking risks.

1297
01:14:56,242 --> 01:14:58,495
I know, my dear.

1298
01:14:58,577 --> 01:15:01,296
Real happiness is
worth almost any risk,

1299
01:15:01,372 --> 01:15:02,715
but be careful.

1300
01:15:03,666 --> 01:15:05,760
There may be
breakers ahead.

1301
01:15:08,254 --> 01:15:09,631
I will, Daniel.

1302
01:15:39,410 --> 01:15:41,833
- Hello, Martha.
- Hello.

1303
01:15:41,912 --> 01:15:43,334
Like my picture?

1304
01:15:43,414 --> 01:15:44,540
No.

1305
01:15:44,623 --> 01:15:46,500
That's honest, anyway.

1306
01:15:46,584 --> 01:15:48,678
It's indecent,
that's what it is.

1307
01:15:48,753 --> 01:15:52,257
Him painting you in your
bathing costume like you was a...

1308
01:15:52,339 --> 01:15:53,431
I don't know what.

1309
01:15:53,507 --> 01:15:57,353
Oh, come, Martha.
This is the 20th century.

1310
01:15:57,428 --> 01:16:00,932
We must rid ourselves
of the old fetishes and taboos.

1311
01:16:01,015 --> 01:16:03,188
Learnt a lot
of new words, ain't you?

1312
01:16:03,267 --> 01:16:04,644
We're never
too old to learn.

1313
01:16:04,727 --> 01:16:07,150
No. Nor to make fools
of ourselves either.

1314
01:16:07,271 --> 01:16:08,693
"Uncle Neddy."

1315
01:16:11,150 --> 01:16:14,996
All right, my girl.
Let's have it.

1316
01:16:15,071 --> 01:16:17,915
What's he up to?
What's he want with you?

1317
01:16:17,990 --> 01:16:20,334
Well, I rather think he's going
to ask me to marry him.

1318
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:21,831
And you'd be willing to.

1319
01:16:21,911 --> 01:16:23,834
I might.
Why shouldn't I?

1320
01:16:23,913 --> 01:16:26,587
Because he ain't good enough
for you, that's why not.

1321
01:16:26,665 --> 01:16:29,259
He's the kind of man
no decent woman would associate with.

1322
01:16:29,335 --> 01:16:30,803
Martha, what right have you
to talk like that?

1323
01:16:30,878 --> 01:16:32,300
Well, I got a right
to me own feelings,

1324
01:16:32,379 --> 01:16:34,097
and I got a feeling about him.

1325
01:16:34,173 --> 01:16:35,595
How dare you!

1326
01:16:36,383 --> 01:16:37,851
I'm sorry.

1327
01:16:38,803 --> 01:16:41,226
It's just that I've been
so worried about you lately.

1328
01:16:42,389 --> 01:16:45,814
Now, Martha.
There's nothing to worry about.

1329
01:16:45,893 --> 01:16:48,487
I know he isn't perfect.

1330
01:16:48,562 --> 01:16:52,817
Perhaps he's conceited
and erratic,

1331
01:16:52,900 --> 01:16:54,868
even childish,

1332
01:16:55,611 --> 01:16:56,737
but he's real.

1333
01:16:58,823 --> 01:17:00,166
Real?

1334
01:17:00,241 --> 01:17:02,994
I thought I was impervious
to emotion,

1335
01:17:03,077 --> 01:17:05,330
a respectable widow woman
with a growing child

1336
01:17:05,412 --> 01:17:07,380
and a hide
like a rhinoceros,

1337
01:17:08,415 --> 01:17:10,167
but I'm not.

1338
01:17:10,251 --> 01:17:13,004
I need companionship
and laughter

1339
01:17:13,087 --> 01:17:16,216
and all the things
a woman needs.

1340
01:17:17,758 --> 01:17:20,637
I suppose I need love.

1341
01:17:21,887 --> 01:17:25,232
Well, I hope
he can give it to you.

1342
01:17:26,517 --> 01:17:27,985
Now, suppose you
go on downstairs

1343
01:17:28,060 --> 01:17:29,903
and make us both
a cup of tea.

1344
01:17:31,939 --> 01:17:33,361
I'll finish up.

1345
01:17:33,440 --> 01:17:34,908
Yes, ma'am.

1346
01:17:53,961 --> 01:17:55,429
Well, Daniel,

1347
01:17:58,799 --> 01:18:01,302
haven't you anything to say?

1348
01:18:12,438 --> 01:18:13,690
Happy?

1349
01:18:13,772 --> 01:18:16,696
I've never
felt like this before.

1350
01:18:16,775 --> 01:18:18,027
How?

1351
01:18:18,110 --> 01:18:19,202
I don't know.

1352
01:18:19,278 --> 01:18:20,700
Tell me.

1353
01:18:22,990 --> 01:18:27,040
Like looking
down from high up,

1354
01:18:27,119 --> 01:18:29,417
all dizzy and unsure.

1355
01:18:29,496 --> 01:18:32,124
You won't fall.
I'll hold you.

1356
01:18:32,249 --> 01:18:34,877
It isn't right, it can't be,
to feel like this,

1357
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:37,383
like, I don't know.

1358
01:18:37,463 --> 01:18:40,387
It is right
because you're happy.

1359
01:18:45,804 --> 01:18:49,149
Martha's gone up.
It's Anna's bedtime.

1360
01:18:49,225 --> 01:18:51,819
Just this once,
pretend you've forgotten.

1361
01:18:51,894 --> 01:18:53,737
But I didn't.

1362
01:18:53,812 --> 01:18:55,530
Just this one night.

1363
01:18:56,899 --> 01:18:59,322
There'll be so many nights,
darling,

1364
01:18:59,401 --> 01:19:02,245
two lifetimes full,
till we're both old

1365
01:19:02,321 --> 01:19:05,291
and even Anna's
grown and married, too.

1366
01:19:06,450 --> 01:19:08,544
What's wrong?

1367
01:19:08,619 --> 01:19:10,246
I'm jealous.

1368
01:19:10,329 --> 01:19:11,922
I'm even jealous
of a little girl.

1369
01:19:11,997 --> 01:19:13,749
But she's my daughter.

1370
01:19:13,832 --> 01:19:15,755
I can't just forget
my duty to her.

1371
01:19:15,834 --> 01:19:16,926
When you're with me,

1372
01:19:17,002 --> 01:19:19,596
I want you to forget about
everyone else in the world,

1373
01:19:19,672 --> 01:19:21,345
your duty, and what
the world will say.

1374
01:19:21,465 --> 01:19:23,763
I think you
must be a magician.

1375
01:19:23,842 --> 01:19:26,265
You make it seem all wrong
to consider my duty

1376
01:19:26,345 --> 01:19:28,393
and only right that I...

1377
01:19:50,244 --> 01:19:53,999
I thought you were
one woman with sense,

1378
01:19:54,081 --> 01:19:56,550
but you're like
all the rest of them.

1379
01:19:57,126 --> 01:20:00,221
Fall for any man
who'll promise you the moon

1380
01:20:00,296 --> 01:20:03,391
and end by taking everything
you have to give.

1381
01:20:06,093 --> 01:20:09,142
Oh, don't trouble yourself,
my dear.

1382
01:20:09,221 --> 01:20:11,644
It's not your fault.

1383
01:20:11,724 --> 01:20:15,149
I should have known
it was on the chart.

1384
01:20:15,227 --> 01:20:16,353
You've made our choice,

1385
01:20:16,437 --> 01:20:18,155
the only choice
you could make.

1386
01:20:18,230 --> 01:20:19,652
You've chosen life,

1387
01:20:20,441 --> 01:20:23,320
and that's as it should be,

1388
01:20:23,402 --> 01:20:25,245
whatever the reckoning.

1389
01:20:26,238 --> 01:20:29,162
And that's why
I'm going away, my dear.

1390
01:20:29,241 --> 01:20:32,165
I can't help you now.

1391
01:20:32,244 --> 01:20:33,837
I can only confuse you more

1392
01:20:33,912 --> 01:20:37,337
and destroy whatever chance
you have left of happiness.

1393
01:20:38,250 --> 01:20:39,923
You must make your own life

1394
01:20:40,502 --> 01:20:42,345
amongst the living.

1395
01:20:44,298 --> 01:20:47,268
And whether you'll meet
fair winds or foul,

1396
01:20:49,094 --> 01:20:52,689
find your own way to harbor
in the end.

1397
01:20:58,437 --> 01:21:00,940
Lucia, listen to me.

1398
01:21:01,774 --> 01:21:04,152
Listen, my dear.

1399
01:21:04,234 --> 01:21:06,657
You've been dreaming,

1400
01:21:06,737 --> 01:21:08,660
dreaming of a sea captain

1401
01:21:08,739 --> 01:21:10,662
that haunted this house,

1402
01:21:10,741 --> 01:21:13,164
of talks you had with him,

1403
01:21:13,243 --> 01:21:16,668
even a book
you both wrote together,

1404
01:21:16,747 --> 01:21:21,674
but, Lucia,
you wrote the book,

1405
01:21:21,752 --> 01:21:25,177
you and no one else.

1406
01:21:26,382 --> 01:21:28,680
The book you imagined
from his house,

1407
01:21:28,759 --> 01:21:30,136
from his picture
on the wall,

1408
01:21:30,219 --> 01:21:33,143
from his gear
lying around in every room.

1409
01:21:37,768 --> 01:21:41,363
It's been a dream, Lucia.

1410
01:21:49,530 --> 01:21:52,830
And in the morning
and the years after,

1411
01:21:53,283 --> 01:21:56,412
you'll only remember it
as a dream,

1412
01:21:57,371 --> 01:21:59,624
and it'll die.

1413
01:21:59,706 --> 01:22:03,427
As all dreams
must die at waking.

1414
01:22:12,010 --> 01:22:14,763
How you'd have
loved the North Cape

1415
01:22:14,847 --> 01:22:17,316
and the fjords and
the midnight sun,

1416
01:22:17,391 --> 01:22:19,860
to sail across the reef
at Barbados,

1417
01:22:19,935 --> 01:22:22,939
where the blue water
turns to green,

1418
01:22:23,021 --> 01:22:24,113
to the Falklands

1419
01:22:24,189 --> 01:22:27,910
where a southerly gale
rips the whole sea white!

1420
01:22:28,026 --> 01:22:31,530
What we've missed, Lucia!

1421
01:22:33,198 --> 01:22:36,543
What we've both missed.

1422
01:22:39,455 --> 01:22:43,551
Goodbye, my darling.

1423
01:23:03,020 --> 01:23:06,650
Listen to this.
From Mr. Sproule.

1424
01:23:06,732 --> 01:23:09,485
It's about the book
I've written.

1425
01:23:09,568 --> 01:23:16,042
"Our check for £100
advance royalties

1426
01:23:16,116 --> 01:23:17,743
"as you requested."

1427
01:23:17,826 --> 01:23:20,170
You mean to tell me they paid you
good money for that?

1428
01:23:20,245 --> 01:23:22,668
Martha, have you
been reading my book?

1429
01:23:22,748 --> 01:23:23,920
I'm supposed
to dust in here,

1430
01:23:23,999 --> 01:23:25,922
and what falls under me eye
falls under me eye.

1431
01:23:26,001 --> 01:23:28,299
I'm surprised at you.
It's like eavesdropping.

1432
01:23:28,378 --> 01:23:32,178
I'm surprised at you.
Such language! Lummy.

1433
01:23:32,257 --> 01:23:34,180
Well, if you're writing
about a sea captain,

1434
01:23:34,259 --> 01:23:36,637
you have to use the sort
of language he would use.

1435
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,849
He'd have a hard time
living up to your idea of him.

1436
01:23:39,932 --> 01:23:44,187
Mr. Sproule wants me to come
into town to sign some papers,

1437
01:23:44,269 --> 01:23:47,193
but I can't possibly
leave here nowjust when...

1438
01:23:47,272 --> 01:23:48,694
Just when what?

1439
01:23:50,442 --> 01:23:52,194
I'm expecting Mr. Fairley.

1440
01:23:52,277 --> 01:23:53,699
We're having a picnic.

1441
01:23:54,154 --> 01:23:55,906
You mean he is.

1442
01:23:56,532 --> 01:23:59,035
I heard you, Martha.

1443
01:23:59,117 --> 01:24:02,291
Please remember
that I'm going to marry him.

1444
01:24:02,371 --> 01:24:03,793
Yes, ma'am.

1445
01:24:06,083 --> 01:24:07,881
By the way,
I've been thinking

1446
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:11,305
we might put that portrait
of Captain Gregg up in the attic.

1447
01:24:11,380 --> 01:24:13,223
Don't you like it anymore?

1448
01:24:13,298 --> 01:24:15,721
It was a silly idea
to hang it in here.

1449
01:24:15,801 --> 01:24:18,725
I don't know
what possessed me.

1450
01:24:18,804 --> 01:24:20,272
Atmosphere, I suppose.

1451
01:24:21,181 --> 01:24:22,854
Yes, ma'am.

1452
01:24:22,933 --> 01:24:25,436
I'll hang it in my room,
if you don't mind.

1453
01:24:25,519 --> 01:24:26,736
Of course not.

1454
01:24:26,812 --> 01:24:27,938
Perhaps you can
get Uncle Neddy

1455
01:24:28,021 --> 01:24:29,739
to paint one
of himself instead.

1456
01:24:29,815 --> 01:24:31,283
Martha!

1457
01:24:43,412 --> 01:24:44,834
"Dear Mr. Sproule,

1458
01:24:45,539 --> 01:24:49,840
"I find that I am unable to leave
Whiteclifi' this week

1459
01:24:50,294 --> 01:24:53,047
"and hope that you..."

1460
01:24:57,593 --> 01:25:00,517
A boy brought
a note for you.

1461
01:25:07,519 --> 01:25:09,988
A billet-doux,
I dare say.

1462
01:25:14,484 --> 01:25:15,906
Oh, how terrible.

1463
01:25:16,528 --> 01:25:20,374
Mr. Fairley has been called up
to London for a few days.

1464
01:25:20,449 --> 01:25:22,372
What's so terrible about that?

1465
01:25:36,882 --> 01:25:38,134
There!

1466
01:25:39,009 --> 01:25:40,761
Is that all,
Mr. Sproule?

1467
01:25:40,844 --> 01:25:44,018
Except to deposit the checks
to your account when they come in.

1468
01:25:44,097 --> 01:25:46,395
I congratulate you, my dear,

1469
01:25:46,475 --> 01:25:48,898
and I congratulate
the captain, too.

1470
01:25:48,977 --> 01:25:50,399
Oh, the captain.

1471
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:53,198
And I intend to hold you
to your promise to introduce us.

1472
01:25:53,273 --> 01:25:56,618
Oh, yes,
I did promise, didn't I?

1473
01:25:56,693 --> 01:25:57,740
You know,

1474
01:25:57,819 --> 01:26:00,447
someday when I've known you
a little longer, Mr. Sproule,

1475
01:26:00,572 --> 01:26:02,995
I'll tell you the truth
about the captain.

1476
01:26:03,075 --> 01:26:04,497
Goodbye
and thank you again.

1477
01:26:04,576 --> 01:26:06,249
Goodbye, Mrs. Muir.

1478
01:26:12,209 --> 01:26:14,758
Would you please give me
Mr. Fairley's address?

1479
01:26:14,836 --> 01:26:15,837
Miles Fairley?

1480
01:26:15,921 --> 01:26:17,389
Yes, please.

1481
01:26:20,384 --> 01:26:21,977
Here it is, Mrs. Muir.

1482
01:26:22,052 --> 01:26:23,975
Number 14,
Albemarle Street.

1483
01:26:24,054 --> 01:26:25,977
Thank you so much.

1484
01:26:51,081 --> 01:26:52,128
Yes, ma'am?

1485
01:26:52,207 --> 01:26:53,880
I'd like to see
Mr. Fairley, please.

1486
01:26:53,959 --> 01:26:55,256
Yes, ma'am.

1487
01:26:58,922 --> 01:27:00,048
What name, please?

1488
01:27:00,132 --> 01:27:01,179
It's Mrs. Muir.

1489
01:27:01,258 --> 01:27:04,182
Yes, ma'am.
Will you wait in there, please?

1490
01:27:32,122 --> 01:27:35,877
Mrs. Muir? The maid said
you wanted to see my husband.

1491
01:27:36,543 --> 01:27:38,511
Perhaps I can help you.

1492
01:27:38,587 --> 01:27:39,759
Husband?

1493
01:27:39,838 --> 01:27:41,636
Or if you don't mind waiting.

1494
01:27:41,715 --> 01:27:42,932
He should be back soon.

1495
01:27:43,008 --> 01:27:45,261
He's taking the children
to the park.

1496
01:27:45,343 --> 01:27:48,222
I've had them abroad for the past
few months. We just returned.

1497
01:27:48,305 --> 01:27:51,229
Miles is making up
for lost time.

1498
01:27:51,933 --> 01:27:53,355
Please sit down.

1499
01:27:54,394 --> 01:27:58,194
If you're a friend of his, you know
how fond he is of the children.

1500
01:27:59,775 --> 01:28:01,698
You are a friend of his,
aren't you?

1501
01:28:02,903 --> 01:28:04,450
I'm a writer.

1502
01:28:04,529 --> 01:28:07,999
We... Mr. Fairley and I have
the same publisher.

1503
01:28:08,742 --> 01:28:10,619
How exciting.

1504
01:28:10,702 --> 01:28:14,047
I don't often meet
one of Miles' literary friends.

1505
01:28:14,956 --> 01:28:16,629
You'll wait for him,
won't you?

1506
01:28:16,708 --> 01:28:19,882
I expect him back any minute,
and we'll have tea.

1507
01:28:20,462 --> 01:28:22,760
No, I'll go.

1508
01:28:22,839 --> 01:28:24,341
I'm afraid
I've made a mistake.

1509
01:28:24,424 --> 01:28:26,017
Mistake, Mrs. Muir?

1510
01:28:26,092 --> 01:28:28,060
Yes. I... I'm sorry.

1511
01:28:30,180 --> 01:28:32,649
I think I understand,
my dear,

1512
01:28:32,724 --> 01:28:34,397
and I'm sorry, too.

1513
01:28:34,476 --> 01:28:35,978
Truly I am.

1514
01:28:36,561 --> 01:28:40,862
You see, it isn't the first time
something like this has happened.

1515
01:28:46,822 --> 01:28:47,914
Mrs. Muir.

1516
01:29:36,872 --> 01:29:38,715
Come on in, ma'am.

1517
01:29:38,790 --> 01:29:41,714
I brought you
some nice hot milk.

1518
01:29:47,465 --> 01:29:49,138
There, there.

1519
01:29:49,759 --> 01:29:52,683
He ain't worth it.
Blast his hide.

1520
01:29:53,430 --> 01:29:55,478
He ain't worth it.

1521
01:30:27,172 --> 01:30:28,424
Where you been?

1522
01:30:28,506 --> 01:30:29,632
Just walking.

1523
01:30:29,716 --> 01:30:32,595
You've been doing a lot of walking
these last few months.

1524
01:30:32,677 --> 01:30:34,930
You mustn't go
tiring yourself out, now.

1525
01:30:35,013 --> 01:30:36,936
I'm not a bit tired.

1526
01:30:37,015 --> 01:30:38,267
Off to your room

1527
01:30:38,350 --> 01:30:41,320
and a nice bit
of shut-eye before tea.

1528
01:30:44,689 --> 01:30:47,192
Martha, do you know
what day this is?

1529
01:30:47,275 --> 01:30:48,697
Wash day.

1530
01:30:48,777 --> 01:30:53,078
Yes, but it was exactly a year ago
that we came here.

1531
01:30:53,156 --> 01:30:55,625
We went up
these stairs together,

1532
01:30:55,700 --> 01:30:58,294
and then I hurt my finger
on the window.

1533
01:30:58,370 --> 01:31:00,213
- Remember?
- Yes, ma'am.

1534
01:31:01,456 --> 01:31:03,299
Then I had a dream.

1535
01:31:03,375 --> 01:31:05,469
I remember you
telling me about it.

1536
01:31:06,252 --> 01:31:08,346
It was a very
strange dream,

1537
01:31:10,215 --> 01:31:12,013
the first of many dreams.

1538
01:31:13,176 --> 01:31:15,099
Now, then, off with your dress.

1539
01:31:16,137 --> 01:31:18,515
No. I'll rest in the big chair.

1540
01:31:18,598 --> 01:31:20,191
Whatever you say, ma'am.

1541
01:31:20,266 --> 01:31:21,893
Go on down, Rummy.

1542
01:31:26,314 --> 01:31:27,657
Thank you, Martha.

1543
01:31:28,358 --> 01:31:30,326
I'll call you in an hour.

1544
01:33:26,184 --> 01:33:27,231
Mummy!

1545
01:33:27,310 --> 01:33:29,404
Hello, Anna!

1546
01:33:38,404 --> 01:33:41,999
Anna! Darling!
This is a surprise.

1547
01:33:42,075 --> 01:33:43,372
How did you get off
from the university?

1548
01:33:43,451 --> 01:33:44,748
They don't know I'm away.

1549
01:33:44,828 --> 01:33:45,829
But...

1550
01:33:45,912 --> 01:33:47,539
Come on, Bill.
Don't be shy.

1551
01:33:47,622 --> 01:33:48,714
This is Bill, Mummy.

1552
01:33:48,790 --> 01:33:49,882
- How do you do?
- How do you do?

1553
01:33:49,958 --> 01:33:52,552
His real name is Sir Evelyn
Anthony Peregrine Scathe,

1554
01:33:52,627 --> 01:33:53,970
so of course
he's called Billy,

1555
01:33:54,045 --> 01:33:56,218
and we're thinking
of getting engaged.

1556
01:33:56,297 --> 01:33:57,469
Anna!

1557
01:33:57,549 --> 01:33:58,971
Well, I haven't even
asked her yet,

1558
01:33:59,050 --> 01:34:00,097
but if she keeps on
committing us,

1559
01:34:00,176 --> 01:34:01,268
I suppose I'll have to.

1560
01:34:01,344 --> 01:34:02,891
We've come for
your blessing, Mummy,

1561
01:34:02,971 --> 01:34:04,063
and we haven't had tea.

1562
01:34:04,139 --> 01:34:07,063
Anna, you quite take
my breath away.

1563
01:34:11,312 --> 01:34:13,314
Darling, you just make
yourself at home in there,

1564
01:34:13,398 --> 01:34:14,945
and we'll help Martha
with the tea.

1565
01:34:15,024 --> 01:34:17,493
- Well, if I'm not wanted.
- Oh.

1566
01:34:17,569 --> 01:34:20,118
We'll sing out
when we want you.

1567
01:34:20,196 --> 01:34:21,618
Come on, Mummy.

1568
01:34:25,827 --> 01:34:27,750
There will be
two more for tea, Martha.

1569
01:34:27,829 --> 01:34:28,830
Martha!

1570
01:34:28,913 --> 01:34:30,165
Miss Anna.

1571
01:34:30,248 --> 01:34:32,171
And you'll find a strange young man
in the living room.

1572
01:34:32,250 --> 01:34:33,217
Who?

1573
01:34:33,293 --> 01:34:35,216
Well, what do you think?

1574
01:34:35,295 --> 01:34:38,014
Gracious. You haven't
given me time to think.

1575
01:34:38,089 --> 01:34:40,217
I gather his name is
Sir Evelyn Scathe,

1576
01:34:40,300 --> 01:34:41,597
and you want to marry him.

1577
01:34:41,676 --> 01:34:42,848
Sir Evelyn?

1578
01:34:42,927 --> 01:34:44,520
I met him at a dance in London.

1579
01:34:44,596 --> 01:34:45,848
He's a sublieutenant in the navy.

1580
01:34:45,930 --> 01:34:48,228
You know my weakness
for sailormen.

1581
01:34:48,308 --> 01:34:49,685
Well, it's the first
I've heard of it.

1582
01:34:49,767 --> 01:34:51,769
It's a lifelong vice.

1583
01:34:51,853 --> 01:34:53,230
But what do you
want me to say?

1584
01:34:53,313 --> 01:34:54,940
Don't matter what you say.

1585
01:34:55,023 --> 01:34:57,151
She'll have her own way,
same as her mother.

1586
01:34:57,233 --> 01:34:58,985
Don't you go making eyes
at him, now.

1587
01:34:59,110 --> 01:35:02,740
Only a lieutenant?
Captains is more in my line.

1588
01:35:04,324 --> 01:35:06,543
I've never been
so happy in all my life.

1589
01:35:06,618 --> 01:35:08,086
Then I'm happy, too,

1590
01:35:08,620 --> 01:35:10,213
and I shan't waste time
with questions.

1591
01:35:10,288 --> 01:35:12,882
I knew you wouldn't,
and wait till you hear.

1592
01:35:12,957 --> 01:35:14,379
I've discussed it with Bill.

1593
01:35:14,459 --> 01:35:16,461
You're to come and live with us,
you and Martha.

1594
01:35:16,544 --> 01:35:17,966
No, darling.

1595
01:35:18,046 --> 01:35:19,468
But you must.

1596
01:35:19,547 --> 01:35:21,925
You've been alone
so much of your life.

1597
01:35:22,008 --> 01:35:26,479
You're very kind,
but it's hard to explain.

1598
01:35:27,347 --> 01:35:29,475
You can be much more alone
with other people

1599
01:35:29,557 --> 01:35:31,980
than you are by yourself,

1600
01:35:32,060 --> 01:35:34,313
even it's people you love.

1601
01:35:35,313 --> 01:35:37,236
That sounds all mixed-up,
doesn't it?

1602
01:35:37,315 --> 01:35:41,445
No, not a bit, but if you ever
change your mind...

1603
01:35:42,237 --> 01:35:44,331
Get a plate, darling.

1604
01:35:45,990 --> 01:35:47,958
And some extra cups.

1605
01:35:48,618 --> 01:35:50,666
No. I won't change my mind.

1606
01:35:51,329 --> 01:35:54,082
I love this house,
and I've been very happy here,

1607
01:35:54,165 --> 01:35:56,088
and I shall live here till I die.

1608
01:35:56,167 --> 01:35:57,589
With Captain Gregg?

1609
01:35:59,462 --> 01:36:00,884
What did you say?

1610
01:36:00,964 --> 01:36:03,308
With the ghost
of Captain Gregg?

1611
01:36:03,383 --> 01:36:05,385
Anna, what are you
talking about?

1612
01:36:05,468 --> 01:36:07,311
I knew the captain
very well.

1613
01:36:07,387 --> 01:36:08,434
When I was a little girl,

1614
01:36:08,513 --> 01:36:09,685
the first year we lived here,

1615
01:36:09,764 --> 01:36:11,766
we used to have
the most wonderful talks.

1616
01:36:11,849 --> 01:36:13,226
You didn't.

1617
01:36:13,351 --> 01:36:15,445
It was all a game
I made up, of course,

1618
01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,147
sort of a dream game,

1619
01:36:17,230 --> 01:36:19,824
but it was a very real
while it lasted,

1620
01:36:19,899 --> 01:36:22,118
and he stopped
coming suddenly.

1621
01:36:22,193 --> 01:36:25,242
I suppose I was growing too old
and sophisticated for him,

1622
01:36:25,321 --> 01:36:27,369
but I grieved and grieved.

1623
01:36:28,783 --> 01:36:31,707
I was hopelessly
in love with him.

1624
01:36:32,287 --> 01:36:35,211
Heavens.
You look as if you've seen a...

1625
01:36:36,207 --> 01:36:38,301
Don't tell me you saw him, too.

1626
01:36:38,376 --> 01:36:39,719
No.

1627
01:36:41,462 --> 01:36:43,339
No, not for years.

1628
01:36:43,423 --> 01:36:44,970
Then you did.

1629
01:36:45,049 --> 01:36:48,019
Oh, Mummy, you don't suppose
he really haunted us.

1630
01:36:48,094 --> 01:36:51,223
No, darling.
Things like that can't happen.

1631
01:36:52,223 --> 01:36:53,896
It was only a dream.

1632
01:36:55,351 --> 01:36:57,979
The same dream for both of us?

1633
01:36:58,062 --> 01:37:01,316
Perhaps I set you off
by telling you about my dreams.

1634
01:37:01,399 --> 01:37:03,276
Little girls are
very impressionable.

1635
01:37:03,359 --> 01:37:05,282
I don't remember
your telling me.

1636
01:37:05,361 --> 01:37:08,240
Tell me now.
I'd love to hear about them.

1637
01:37:08,323 --> 01:37:11,293
Well, I can't remember them
very well,

1638
01:37:11,367 --> 01:37:13,461
just bits and pieces,

1639
01:37:13,536 --> 01:37:15,288
a phrase here and there,
a look,

1640
01:37:15,371 --> 01:37:19,922
<i>and I think I dreamed most of my book
Blood and Swash.</i>

1641
01:37:20,001 --> 01:37:21,628
I must have.

1642
01:37:21,711 --> 01:37:24,965
I never could have
thought of it.

1643
01:37:25,423 --> 01:37:29,803
All these years, I...
I've tried to remember,

1644
01:37:29,886 --> 01:37:31,763
but I can't.

1645
01:37:31,846 --> 01:37:34,065
Do you know
what I think?

1646
01:37:34,140 --> 01:37:36,438
I think you
fell in love with him, too.

1647
01:37:36,517 --> 01:37:38,190
I did nothing
of the sort.

1648
01:37:38,269 --> 01:37:40,442
I wouldn't blame you
if you had.

1649
01:37:40,521 --> 01:37:42,944
When did you
stop seeing him?

1650
01:37:43,483 --> 01:37:48,080
After about a year,
I dreamed we quarreled,

1651
01:37:48,154 --> 01:37:50,373
and it was about a man.

1652
01:37:50,448 --> 01:37:51,825
Uncle Neddy.

1653
01:37:52,658 --> 01:37:54,205
Anna, did you know
that Miles and I...

1654
01:37:54,285 --> 01:37:56,583
I used to pray
you wouldn't marry him.

1655
01:37:56,662 --> 01:37:58,710
And you were so right.

1656
01:37:58,790 --> 01:38:02,135
I saw him about five years ago
at a dinner party.

1657
01:38:02,210 --> 01:38:06,465
He was bald and fat.
He drank too much, and then he cried.

1658
01:38:07,048 --> 01:38:10,803
It seems his wife finally had enough
and took the children away.

1659
01:38:11,969 --> 01:38:13,471
You never can tell, can you?

1660
01:38:14,764 --> 01:38:16,061
Once I thought I wanted

1661
01:38:16,140 --> 01:38:18,734
to spend the rest
of my life with him.

1662
01:38:20,353 --> 01:38:23,823
Perhaps he did exist, the captain.

1663
01:38:23,898 --> 01:38:26,572
Perhaps he did come back
and talk to us.

1664
01:38:26,651 --> 01:38:29,245
Wouldn't it be wonderful
if he had?

1665
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:31,994
Then you'd have something...
You know what I mean,

1666
01:38:32,073 --> 01:38:34,496
to look back on
with happiness.

1667
01:38:35,284 --> 01:38:37,912
No, darling.
He never existed.

1668
01:38:37,995 --> 01:38:39,872
We made him up,
you and I.

1669
01:38:40,540 --> 01:38:43,168
I just wasn't intended to have
that kind of happiness,

1670
01:38:43,251 --> 01:38:45,800
and I haven't missed it,
really I haven't.

1671
01:38:45,878 --> 01:38:47,846
I've been lonely
at times,

1672
01:38:47,922 --> 01:38:50,926
but there have been compensations.
You,

1673
01:38:51,008 --> 01:38:55,434
now Bill,
and dear Martha.

1674
01:38:55,513 --> 01:38:58,266
We sit and chatter
like a pair of parrots.

1675
01:39:01,519 --> 01:39:03,192
And this house,

1676
01:39:04,689 --> 01:39:07,112
and the sea
and the gulls,

1677
01:39:09,193 --> 01:39:11,161
and memories,

1678
01:39:13,030 --> 01:39:14,953
I have those, you know.

1679
01:39:15,032 --> 01:39:17,410
Even if it was a dream.

1680
01:39:18,536 --> 01:39:19,583
Now, come along,

1681
01:39:19,662 --> 01:39:21,915
and we'll join your young man
for some tea.

1682
01:40:52,797 --> 01:40:55,050
You, come in here.

1683
01:40:58,678 --> 01:41:00,976
Catch your death.

1684
01:41:02,431 --> 01:41:04,729
What were you
doing out there?

1685
01:41:04,809 --> 01:41:06,436
I don't know.

1686
01:41:06,519 --> 01:41:08,567
You know what
the doctor said.

1687
01:41:08,646 --> 01:41:10,740
Oh, bother the doctor.

1688
01:41:10,815 --> 01:41:12,237
He's an old woman.

1689
01:41:12,316 --> 01:41:15,536
Yeah, and you ain't
a young one anymore.

1690
01:41:16,696 --> 01:41:17,743
Here's a letter from Anna.

1691
01:41:17,822 --> 01:41:18,948
What she say?

1692
01:41:19,031 --> 01:41:21,910
Little Lucy's engaged

1693
01:41:21,993 --> 01:41:25,213
to the captain
of a transatlantic plane.

1694
01:41:25,288 --> 01:41:27,086
Anna's very happy
about it.

1695
01:41:27,164 --> 01:41:28,916
Says it must
run in the family.

1696
01:41:29,000 --> 01:41:31,628
Airplanes, not in my family,
they don't.

1697
01:41:31,711 --> 01:41:33,839
I suppose she means captains.

1698
01:41:37,383 --> 01:41:39,306
Here, drink your hot milk.

1699
01:41:39,385 --> 01:41:42,605
Not now, Martha.
I'm too tired,

1700
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:44,808
and I have a funny pain
in my arm.

1701
01:41:44,890 --> 01:41:46,938
No wonder,
standing out there in the fog.

1702
01:41:47,018 --> 01:41:48,440
Come on, drink it up.

1703
01:41:48,519 --> 01:41:50,521
Stop bossing me, Martha.

1704
01:41:50,605 --> 01:41:52,278
I don't want
any hot milk.

1705
01:41:52,356 --> 01:41:53,949
Now, now.
Don't get in a state.

1706
01:41:54,025 --> 01:41:58,701
I'm not in a state.
I just want to be left alone.

1707
01:41:58,779 --> 01:42:00,497
Bossing me.

1708
01:42:00,573 --> 01:42:04,794
Very well.
The bossing I never intended.

1709
01:42:05,703 --> 01:42:08,752
I only brought the milk
for your own good.

1710
01:42:11,542 --> 01:42:13,044
Bossing me.

1711
01:42:21,469 --> 01:42:23,563
I'm tired.

1712
01:42:51,582 --> 01:42:55,086
And now you'll never
be tired again.

1713
01:42:56,253 --> 01:42:57,630
Come, Lucia.

1714
01:42:58,798 --> 01:43:01,802
Come, my dear.

1715
01:43:45,344 --> 01:43:46,846
Martha.
