[Music] you we hate this up the door teen 90s win all night first kick I knew what love was a knife tasted ecstasy but I thought we cuddled since the Diana Giovanni I'm suave although we'll turned 40 and don't need sympathy so I'm not a filly I screened a picatinny can you direct me to Hindhead you mrs. Allison's this is mrs. Allison's D perhaps MA are you miss Vivian yes I'm afraid I hear you see my name is Frank I do indeed miss Warren has your mother arrived is she coming didn't you expect this no oh no goodness me I hope I'm not mistaken the day that would be just like me you know your mother arranged that she was to come down from London and I was to come over from Horschel to be introduced to you she did did she hmm my mother is rather a trick of taking me by surprise to see how I behaved myself when she's not here I suppose I fancy I shall take my mother very much by surprise one of these days if she makes arrangements that concern me without consulting me beforehand well she hasn't capped I'm really very sorry oh it's not your fault mr. parade is it I'm very glad you've come you're the only one of my mother's friends I've ever asked her to bring to see me oh now that's really very good of you miss Warren would you like to come on indoors would you rather sit out well oh now do let me take the hard chair I like hot chair so do I sit down mr. Prez no by the way hadn't we better go and meet your mother at the station why she knows the way yes I suppose she does do you know you're just like what I expected I hope you're disposed to be friends with me thank you my dear ms well and thank you dear me I'm so glad your mother hasn't spoiled you how well in making you too conventional you know my dear miss Warren I'm a born anarchist I hate Authority it spoils relations between parent and child even mother and daughter now I was always afraid your mother would strain her Authority by making you very conventional I'm so glad it's such a relief to find that she hasn't Oh have I been behaving unconventionally oh no oh dear no at least not conventionally unconventionally you understand but he was so charming of you to say that you were disposed to be friends to me you modern young ladies are splendid perfectly splendid hmm When I was your age young men and women were afraid of each other there was no good fellowship nothing was real only gallantry copied out of novels and as vulgar and effective this could be mainly reserved gentlemanly chivalry always saying no when you met yes simple purgatory of his shines and sear Souls yes I imagine there must have been a frightful waste of time especially woman's time Oh waste of life waste of everything the things are improving you know I've been in a positive state of excitement about meeting you ever since your magnificent achievements at Cambridge I think I'm heard of in my day it was perfectly splendid of you tying with the third Wrangler just the right place you know the first Wrangler is always a dreamy Morvan fellow in whom the thing is pushed to the length of a disease it doesn't pay I wouldn't do it again for the same money the same money I did it for fifty pounds fifty pounds yes fifty pounds Oh perhaps you don't know how it was well mrs. Latham my two trip noonim had told my mother that I could distinguished myself in the mathematical Tripos if I went in for it in earnest well the papers were just full then a Philippa Somers meeting the senior Wrangler well you remember it of course but anyhow she did and nothing would please my mother but that I should do the same thing well I told her flat that it wasn't worth my while to face the grind because I wasn't going in for teaching but I offered to try for fourth Wrangler or there abouts for 50 pounds well she closed with me on that after a bit of grumbling and I was better than my bargain but I wouldn't do it again for the same money two hundred pounds were been here at the mark don't miss me very practical way of looking at it did you expect to find me a nun practical person but surely isn't it practical to consider not only the work these honors cost but also the culture they bring culture my dear mister pray do you know what the mathematical Tripos means it means grind grind grind for six to eight hours a day at mathematics and nothing but mathematics I'm supposed to know something about science but I know nothing but the mathematics is involves I could make calculations for engineers electricians insurance companies and so on but I know next to nothing about engineering electricity or insurance I didn't even know arithmetic well outside mathematics lawn tennis eating sleeping cycling and walking I'm a more ignorant barbarian than any woman could possibly be you hadn't gone in for the trials wicked monstrous rascally system I knew it I felt at once that it meant destroying everything that makes womanhood beautiful oh I don't object it on that score in the least now I shall put it a fairly good account I assure you in what way I shall set up in chambers in the city and where could actuarial calculations and conveyancing and a cover of that I'll do some law with one eye on the stock exchange all the time I've come down here by myself to read law not for a holiday as my mother imagines I hate holidays you make my blood run cold I have no romance no beauty in your life oh I don't care for I I assure you we can't mean that yes I do I like working and getting paid for it and when I'm tired of working I like a comfortable chair a cigar a little whiskey and a novel with a good detective story in it I don't believe it I'm an artist and I can't believe it I refuse to believe it it's just that you haven't discovered yet what a wonderful world art can open up to you yes I have last May I spent six weeks in London with the Nuria Fraser muammar thought we were doing a round of sightseeing together but actually I was the denorios chambers and Chancery Lane working out at actuarial calculations for her and helping her as well as a greenhorn Court and in the evenings we smoked and talked and never thought of going out except for exercise and I never enjoyed myself more in my life I'd clean up all my expenses and got initiated into the business without a fee into the bargain but bless my heart and soul miss wanted you for that discovering art that wasn't the beginning I went up to town on the invitation some artistic people who lived in Fitz John's Avenue or one of the girls was a noonim champ and they took me to the National Gallery the Opera and to a concert where the band played Beethoven Wagner all evening and I wouldn't go through that again for anything you could offer me well I helped out for civilities sake until the third day and then I said plump out I couldn't stand anymore I went back to Chancery Lane now you know the sort of perfectly splendid modern young lady I am how do you think I'll get on with my mother well I hope not so much what you hope it's what you believe I want to know well frankly I think your mother's going to be a little disappointed not from any shortcomings on your part you know I don't need that you are so very different from our ideal how what her ideal do you mean her ideal of me yes well what on earth is it like well you must have observed as well that people who are dissatisfied with their own bringing up generally believe that the world would be alright if everybody were brought up quite differently now your mother's life has been I suppose suppose anything mister prayed I hardly know my mother since I was a child I've lived in England at school or college or with people paid to take charge me I've been boarded out all my life my mother's lived in Vienna or Brussels and never let me go to her I only see her when she visits England for a few days oh I don't complain it's been very pleasant because people have been very nice and there's always been plenty of money for things to go smoothly but don't imagine I know anything about my mother I know far less than you do in that case nonsense we're talking of course you and your mother will get on capitally charming little place you have here rather a violent change of subject mister prayed why weren't my mother's life bare being talked about oh no you really mustn't say that isn't it natural that I should show a certain delicacy in speaking to my old friend's daughter about her behind her back your no mother we'll have plenty of opportunity to talk about her when she comes no she won't talk about it either however I dare say you have good reasons for telling me nothing but mark this mister prayed I bet there'll be a battle royal when she hears about my Chancery Lane project I'm afraid there will well I shall win besides I have no mistress to keep up and it seems that she has I've used that advantage over her if necessary oh no no no you not do such a thing then tell me why not I really cannot I appeal to your good feeling besides you may be too bold your mother's not to be trifled with when she's angry oh you can't frighten me mister prayed in that month that Chancery Lane I had the opportunity of taking the measure of one or two women very like my mother you may back me to win but if I hit harder in my ignorance than I need remember that it was you who refused to enlighten me now let's drop the subject one word miss Warren I had better tell you it's very difficult oh how do mater mr. Pratt's been here this Harper waiting for you should have the gumption to know I was coming by the 3:10 train so maybe put your hat on there you'll get sunburned oh I forgot to introduce you the George Cross my little vivvy may I shake hands with a young lady I've known by reputation very long as the daughter of one of my oldest friends if you like I can get a couple of chairs George what do you think of it well she has a Papa fist did you shake hands with the pred yes it's a parcel prison no allow me oh no that's the George help you with the chairs all right good night some tea I expect oh I'm dying for dr. drew no Tim Pratt II yeah he looks cheerful don't he he's been wearing my life at these three years Ted that little girl of mine shown to him and now that I've done it he's quite out of countenance come on sit up George take your stick out of your mouth I think you know if you don't mind my saying so we'd better stop thinking of her as a little girl you see she's really distinguished yourself and I'm not sure what I've seen it should not older than any other older than any of us has been stuffing you nicely for their impertinence yes young people are particularly sensitive about those sort of seniors young people have to get all that nonsense taken out of them and a good deal more besides now don't you interfere patty I know how to treat my own child as well as you do what's the matter with him don't you take it like that for you're afraid of brain what me freedom dear old pretty fly wouldn't be afraid of him you're afraid of him mind your own business not to any of your sulks on me because I'm not afraid of you anyhow if you can't make yourself agreeable you better go home oh come on crabby you wanna afraid I'll go Leah you think I'm offended my dear Kitty you please don't imagine that pray does but you know I sometimes notice things that escape you and although you've never taken my advice you sometimes admit after that you ought to have taken it what do you notice now only that vivvy is a grown woman pray Kitty treat her with every respect respect I treat my own daughter with respect what next play yes dearie ah don't be cross ready I say prayed yes I'm asking a rather particular question certainly did Kitty ever tell you that girl's father is never unem suspicionless - it might be none look I know you might feel bad not to tell if she had said anything to you but it's very awkward to be uncertain about it now it should be easy to tell every day yeah we don't exactly know what to feel the board there what difference does that make we take it on our own merit then you know you know did you not hear me i look here prayed I ask who's a particular favor to me now if you do know I only say if you know and you might at least set my mind at rest about her the fact is I feel attractive do you mean to be alarmed there's a perfectly innocent feeling that's what puzzles me about it well I know I mean I might be a father you impossible you never said no not I know no more about it than you any more than you me a little Christmas there's not the least resemblance well after that is no resemblance between her and a mother that I'm using I think she's not your daughter is she really no wrong nothing's Brina it's perfectly allowable between two men of the world now listen to me my dear cops I have nothing to do with that side of mrs. Warren's life never had she has never spoken to me about you Nicole I never spoken to her about your delicacy will tell you there's a handsome needs some friends about well not on that footing with her the effect of her own beauty will become a torment to her if she were not able to escape from it occasionally you probably are much more confidential terms with Kitty that I am sure you can ask her the question yourself with my headmaster then I'll fling up to keep the child herself well since you are at all events old enough to be her father I don't mind agreeing that we treat miss Vivian a parental way as a young girl whom we should feel bound to protect and help what do you say well I know older than you if you down to that yes you are my dear fellow we were born old I was born a boy I've never been able to feel the assurance of a grown-up man in my life which is calling us my father he's right to here to be with my people it's awesome for the sake of economy things came to a crisis in July if I'd had to pay my debts stony broken consequence am i yes afternoon with what you know Vinnie is jolly girl teaching at a shoot with this episode Johnny to find you here prayed I'm an old friend of her mother mrs.

you both do what you are to me Amina gave you the chance of being what you are what chance would I that shame bad daughter stop I never intended to set myself above you in any way you wouldn't act me with a conventional authority of a mother I defended myself with a conventional superiority of a respectable woman frankly I'm not going to stand any more of your nonsense and as soon as you drop it I won't expect you to stand any of mine I will always respect your right for your own opinions and your own way of life young opinions in my own way of life listen to her talking do you think I was brought up like you able to pick and choose my own way of life do you think I did what I did because I liked it or thought it right rather have gone to college and Mina and Lady if I'd had the chance everybody has a choice mother the poorest girl alive may not be able to choose between being Queen of England or principle of noonim but you can choose between Brad picking and flower selling according to her taste people always blame their circumstances for what they are I don't believe in circumstances the people will get on in this world are the ones that go out and look for the right circumstances and if they can't find them make them oh it's easy to talk isn't it very easy Pia would you like to know what my circumstances were I think you better tell me where'd you sit down I'll sit down she'll be afraid do you know what your grandmother was no no you don't pull I do she called us up a widow and had a fried fish shop down by the mint and kept herself and four daughters out of it two of us were sisters that was me and mizzen we were both good-looking and well-made I suppose our father was a well-fed man mother always pretended he was a gentleman but I don't know now the other two were only half sisters and the size at least are looking hard working honest poor creatures they were the respectable ones well what did they get by the respectability I'll tell you one of them worked in a white LED Factory 12 hours a day for nine shillings a week until she died of lead poisoning and expected the other hands a little paralyzed she died now the other was always held up to us as a model because she married a government labor and the depth of fiddling yard and kept his room and three children neat and tidy on eighteen shillings a week no he took to drink now that was worth being respectable for wasn't it did you and your sister think so what this didn't I can tell you had more spinet we both went to a church school but that was part of the ladylike airs we gave ourselves to be superior to the children the wit nowhere and knew nothing and we stayed there Toulouse went out one night and never came back I know the school mr. thought I'd soon follow her example for the clergyman was always telling me that lizard end up by jumping off Waterloo Bridge Oh poor fool Laurie knew about it I was more afraid of the white bed factory than I was at the river and so would you a bit in my case now that clergyman got me a situation as a scullery maid and a temperance restaurant where they sent out for anything you liked and I was a waitress and I went to the bar at Waterloo station 14 hours a day serving drinks washing glasses for four shillings a week and my board that was considered a great promotion for me and one cold wretched night when I was so tired I could hardly keep myself awake who should come in for half a scotch but Lizzie in a long fur cloak the elegant comfortable and with a lot of sovereigns in her purse my aunt Liz yes and a very good after have to she's living down the Winchester now close to the cathedral one of the most respectable ladies there she chaperones the girls to the County ball if you please no River for Liz thank you you know you remind me of Elizabeth it was the first grade businesswoman saved money from the beginning and never let herself look we don't do like what she was well when she saw I'd grown up good looking she said to me across the back what are you doing there you little fool wearing out your health and your appearance for other people's profit see Liz was saving money then to take a place for herself in Brussels and she thought that we too could say faster than one so she left me some money gave me a chance I saved steadily I first paid her back and I went into business with her as our partner Wow why shouldn't I have done it that house in Brussels real high-class much better place for a girl to be and then that Factory what and Jane got poisoned one of our girls was ever treated as I was treated in the scullery of that temperance place nor the Waterloo bar or at home would you have had me stay in them and become a worn-out old Drudge before I was 14 no but why choose that business surely good management and saving money will succeed in any business saving money but where's a woman to get the money to save in any other business could you save out of four shillings a week and keep yourself dressed as well not you well of course if you're a plain woman encountered anything mortal you got to turn for music or the stage or newspaper writing well that's different neither Liz know I had any turn for such things as all we had was our appearance now turn for pleasing men do you think we were such fools as to let other people trade in our good looks by employing us as sales girls waitresses barmaids when we could trade in them ourselves and get all the profits instead of starvation wages ah not likely it was certainly quite justified from the business point of view from any other point of view what's any respectable girl brought up to do but catch some rich man's fancy and get the benefit of his money by marrying a marriage ceremony could make any difference to the right or wrong other thing the Apocrypha in this world makes me sick there's an eye at a work and save and calculate just like anyone else elsewise we be in sport of some drunken good-for-nothing wastrel of a woman that thinks a knuckle last forever i despise such people no character there's anything I hate in a woman its want of character but come now mother frankly isn't it part of what you call good character and a woman that she should greatly dislike such a way of making a living of course beauty everybody dislikes having to work and make money have to do it just the same pity the poor girl tired I'd blow spirits having to try to please her man she doesn't get to his drawers for some half-drunken fool thinks it's making himself agreeable when he's teasing and worrying and disgusting a woman said that hardly any money can pay her for putting up with it but she has to bear with disagreeable make the rap for the smooth why it's just like a nurse in a hospital or anyone else doesn't work that any woman would do for pleasure goodness knows that he had the past people talking suppose it was a bed of roses still you consider it worthwhile it pays hmm of course it's worthwhile for a poor girl it's far better than any other employment open door was itself not worthwhile for a lady well if you talk to it you'd be a fool I have been a fool have had taken to anything else but mother suppose we were both as poor as your whereas those wretched old days are you sure you wouldn't advise me to try the Waterloo bar or marry a labourer or even going to a factory of course not but what sort of a mother do you take me for how could you keep your self-respect in such starvation and slavery but some woman was what's life worth without self-respect why am i independent able to give my daughter a first grade education when other women were just as good opportunities are in the data because I knew how to respect myself and to control myself now why is Liz locked up to a cathedral huh what the same reason oh don't you be led astray by people who don't know the world my girl the only way for a woman to provide decently for herself is to be good to some man that can afford to be good to her and if she's in his own station of life they'll never make him marry her but if she's far beneath him she don't expect it well why should she well it wouldn't be for her own happiness you ask any lady in London society that has daughters and she'll tell you the same except I tell you straight and she'll tell you crooked that's all the difference mother you're a wonderful woman and stronger than all England and are you really and truly not one bit doubtful or or ashamed of course dear it's only good manners to be ashamed of it what's expected from women that women have to pretend to feel a good deal that they don't feel Liz used to be so angry with me for bumping up the truth about it but John Liz was such a perfect lady divers always a bit of a Vulgarian you know I used to be so pleased when you sent me your photos to see that you were growing up like Liz just a lady like determine way when they were a bit ashamed really when I consider I have the right to be proud of how I managed everything so respectably never had a word against us other girls were so well taken care of some of them did very well one method and ambassador no no I dared talk of such things whatever would they think of us ah you know but even being an Indian sleepy after all I believe it is I who will not sleep tonight better let some fresh air in before I lock up Oh beautiful night look yes - don't catch your death of cold from the night air nonsense everything I say is nonsense according to you oh that's not so you've got completely the better of me tonight though I meant it to be the other way now let's be good friends so it was the other way well I should have to give in to it I always got the worst of it families and I suppose will be the same with you well never mind good night dear old mother I brought you up well didn't idea it you did you'll be kind to your poor old mother for it won't you I will good night dear blessings on my own

whiskey and a few hundred items and did not observe that Sir George drank excessively you are in no condition to a governor you mean to say that I I never saw a benefice Claire German less sober the anecdotes you told about your past career was so awful but I really don't think trade would have passed the night under your roof if it hadn't been for the way here my mother took to one another

perfectly honest I didn't one of the other but when I say a thing I mean it when I feel a sentiment I feel it in earnest and what I value I pay hard money for I mean that's the sort of man I am it does you great credit I'm sure oh I didn't mean to praise myself I mean I have my faults heaven knows I mean there has more sensible than that than I am and I know I'm not perfect that's one of the advantages of being a middle-aged man you see but I'm not a young man and I know it but my code is a simple one and I think a good one honor between man and man fidelity between man and woman and no can't about this religion or that religion but an honest belief the things are making but good on though the power not ourselves that makes for righteousness a oh we're certainly not ourselves of course well I mean you understand what I mean well no I'm that's the practical matters you may have an idea that I've found any money about him but I haven't I'm richer today than when I first came another property I've used my knowledge of the world we invest my money in ways that other men are they were looked so well whatever else I may be I'm lam safe man from the money pondered on well it's very good of you to tell me all this George well you don't even pretend you don't see what I'm driving at and I want to settle down with a lady Crofts I suppose you think me very blunt no not at all I thank you for being so definitely businesslike about at all and I very much appreciate the offer hmm the money the position lady Crofts and so on but I think I'll say no if you don't mind I'd rather not though I'm in no hurry I mean this is just to let you know in case young gardeners you try and trap you we leave the question open I know good deal older than you 25 years a quarter of a century I shan't live forever I'll take care that you're well off when I'm gone don't you think you better take your answer there's no chance of me changing it well no matter I could tell you some things to change your mind fast enough but I won't as I'd rather win you by honest a fictional I was a good friend of your mother's you asked her with her I wasn't and she'd never have made the money to pay for your education if it hadn't be the Nile I smell weed not to mention the money I advanced her yeah there's not many men that would have stood by her like I have I put no less than 40,000 pounds into it from first to last do you mean to say you are my mother's business partner yes now just think of all the trouble and the explanations it would save if they were to keep the whole thing in the families of this week mm-hmm and you ask your mother whether she'd like to have to explain all our affairs to a perfect stranger oh I see no difficulty there cuz I understand that the business is wound up and the money invested well wind up a business that's paying 35% in the worst years mom live here who told you that do you mean that it's still what business you're talking about well the fact is it's on what would be considered exactly a high-class business in my set well that's the country's head you know our said it'll be everything better than my offer well your mother's being an it is pebbly straight and honest I've known her for many years and I can save her she'd cut off a hands or than touch anything that wasn't what it ought to be well I'll tell you all about it if you like I don't know whether you've ever found in traveling how hard it is to find a really comfortable private Attell yes go on well that's what it is I mean your mother has a genius for managing such things we've got to in Ostend well in Brussels one in Vienna and two in the past because there are others besides ourselves and if the behold messes the candle and your mother's invaluable as managing director and we've noticed I dare say she travels a good deal but you see you can't mention such things in society he once laid out the word hotel and everybody thinks were giving a public house I wouldn't like people to say that of your matter would you I mean that's why we've been so reserved about it by the way you'll keep it just settle for insurance since it's been a secret so long it'll better remain so and this is the business you invite me to join you in don't know my wife shall be trouble with business you'll not be in it's more than you've always been I always been what you mean well only that you've always lived on it may be paid for your education only dress you have on you man don't you turn up your nose of business miss bethere where would you new numbs and your guns be without it take care I know what this business is your partner my mother why just so well she ought to have had more consideration for you we might never have told you I think you would have done when we were married it would have been a convenient weapon to break me in with I never intended that on my word as a gentleman I didn't it wouldn't matter if you did I hope you understand that after this afternoon our acquaintance ceases but why is it for helping your mother my mother was a poor woman I had no reasonable choice you were a rich gentleman who did the same thing for the sake of 35 percent I think you're a pretty common sort of scoundrel that's my opinion of you let him go if little Missy go it it does me no harm and it amuses you devil shouldn't I invest my money that way I take the interest on my capital like other people I hope you didn't think I'd dirty my own hands with a work they'll come you wouldn't refuse the acquaintance of my mother's chasm that you could Belgravia because some of the rents he gets around in queer ways but you wouldn't cut the Archbishop of Canterbury I suppose because the ecclesiastical commissioners are some publicans and sinners amongst their tenants remember your cross scholarship at Munim well that was founded by my brother the MP now he gets his 22% out of a factory with over 600 girls in it not one of them earning enough money to live on how do you suppose they managed when they no family to fall back on well ask him did you expect me to turn my back on 35 percent when everyone else is pocketing what they can like sensible men we no such fool if you're going to pick and choose your acquaintances on moral principles you better get clear out of this country unless you want to catch yourself out of all decent society and you might go on to point out but I never asked where the money I spent came from I believe em as bad as you well of course you are but a very good thing to me what harm does it do after all so you don't think me such a scoundrel now you come to think it over I've shared profits with you I've admitted you just now to the familiarity of letting you know what I think of you a bad sort I mean I don't go in for being super fine intellectually but I got plenty of honest human feeling and the old Crofts breed comes out in a sort of instinctive hatred of anything low in which I'm sure you're sympathize with man believe me miss Vivian the world is not a bad place as the procas make out provided you don't fly openly in the face of society society doesn't ask any awkward questions and he makes precious short work of the cattle do now there's no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses you see in the class of people I can introduce you to no lady or gentleman would so far forget themselves or to discuss my business affairs or your mother's no one can offer you a safer position I suppose you think you're getting on famously with me don't you well I better myself you think better of me now the new first did you think you were thinking about when I think about the society that tolerates you the laws the protect you how helpless 910 girls would be in the hands of my mother there's a mentionable woman and her capitalist bully damn you would it not I feel among the Damned already put up with that from you what do you have the rival vehicle shall I operate only for the gate bed I assure you so you wouldn't have to wait I think I showed great insight into your character not for two pins I'd take that gun away from you and crack it across your head I never so careless in handling firearms the show to be a fatal accident the reprimand from the coroner's jury for my negligence calm down Frank it's not necessary Oh much more supportable night to catch him in a trap Crofts there are 15 cartridges in this magazine and I'm a dead shot at the present distance and as an object of your size don't be afraid I'm not going to touch you so magnanimous all of you under the circumstances thank you I just tell you this before I go it may interest you since you're so fond of each other mr. Frank may I introduce you to your half-sister the eldest daughter of the Reverend Samuel Gardner miss Vivian your half-brother good morning you'll testify before the jury that it wasn't accident well you gave me ever such a turn suppose you'd have gone off did you think we'd been relieved to have some sharp physical pain going through me take it ever so easy with remember even if the rifle scared that fellow into telling the truth for the first time in his life it only makes us a babes in a wooden Ernest can I be covered up with these oh no not that anything but that it makes my flesh sweet

nice man don't do it in the longest I know they objected the smell in the office we've had to take the cigarettes look good what I want to know what you've done what arrangements you've made everything was arranged 20 minutes after I arrived her Nora had found the business far too much for this year and she's on the point of sending for me and proposing a partnership but I walked in the door and told her I hadn't a farthing to my name so I've installed myself and sent her off for two weeks holiday what happened in hazel now and I left nothing at all I told Anu come too tired on particular business well well either they were too flabbergasted to say anything or else crops have prepared your mother anyway she didn't say anything coughs didn't say anything and Prady only stared after to you they got up and we're haven't seen him since well that's alright do you intend to stick in this confounded place yes these last two days are giving me back all my strength and self possession I'll never take a holiday again as long as I live - you look quite happy and as hard as net well for me that I am you must have an explanation we parted the other day under a complete misunderstanding all right clearly tap you remember what Crofts told us yes well that revelation was supposed to bring about a complete change in the nature of our feelings for one another it places on a footing of brother and sister yes have you ever had a brother no no I have lots of sisters so the fraternal feeling is quite familiar to me and I assure you that my feeling for you is not the least in the world like it girls will go their way I'll go mine we shan't care if we never see one another again but as to you I can't be easy if I have to pass a week without seeing you that's not brother and sister it's exactly what I felt an hour before Crofts made his revelation in shorts dear viv it's laughs young dream the same feeling Frank the but your father - my mother's feet is that it I very strongly object so having my feelings compared to any that the Reverend Samuel is capable of uttering and I object still more of any comparison of you to your mother besides I didn't believe the story I taxed my father with his no I obtained from him what I consider tantamount to a denial What did he say he said he's sure there must be some mistake and you believe him well I don't think his words against crafts what does it make any real difference in your imagination or conscience for in fact it makes no real difference I'm whatever to me not to me oh this is ever so surprising I thought our whole relations were altered in your imagination and conscience as you put it the moment those words were out of that brutes muzzle not at all I didn't believe him I only wish I could hey I think brother and sister would be a very suitable relationship for us do you really mean that it's the inner relationship I care for even if I could afford another I mean that idea of live why didn't you say so before never say so I have a persecuting you I understand of course you understand what oh I'm not a fool in the ordinary sense only in a scriptural sense of doing all the things a wise man declared to be folly and after trying them himself on the most extensive scale I see I am no longer my villains little boy don't be allowed I shall never call you villains again at least until you get tired of your new little boy whoever he may be my new little boy must be a new little boy always happens that way no other way in fact no other way that you know unfortunately for you oh my curse upon your collar wary be oh it sprayed he's going to Italy this afternoon last if you could call go met him in we can continue our conversation after his departure for Italy I I'm going to stay out how do you do my dear miss Warren I start in an hour from Hoban viaduct I wish I could persuade you to try Italy what for why situate yourself with beauty and romance of course there's no use Patti then he's a little fearless time she is indifferent to my romance and insensible mr. prayed once and for all there is no beauty and romance in life for me life is what it is and I'm prepared to meet it as it is you would not say that you came with me to Verona and on to Venice you would cry with delight of living in such a beautiful world this is ever so eloquent Prady keep it up oh I assure you I have cried I shall cry again I hope at 50 and your age miss Warren you would not even need to go as far as Verona your spirits will absolutely fly up at the mere sight of Ostend you would be charmed with a happy air that gaiety the verbosity of Brussels can you find no better example of your beauty and romance than Brussels to talk today about of course it's very different from Verona I don't see the beauty and romance come to much the same in both places my dear miss Warren I hmm she thinks your enthusiasm frivolous Patti she's had ever such a serious call say pray Duke all his good madness shall I take him away miss Warren I feel sure we've disturbed you at your work sit down I'm not ready to start work yet now you both think I've had an attack of nerves not a bit of it but there are two subjects I would like doctor who don't mind one is love's young dream in any shape or form and the other is the beauty and romance of life especially Ostend and the gaiety of Brussels you're welcome to any illusions you have left on the subjects I have none now if we three to remain friends I must be thought of as a woman of business permanently single and permanently unromantic I shall also remain permanently single until you change your mind Radek change the subject be eloquent about something else I'm free there's nothing else in the world I can talk about the gospel of Arts is the only one I can preach I know miss Warren is a great devotee of the gospel of getting on but we can't discuss that without hurting your feelings Frank's and you are determined not to get on don't lie my feelings give me some improving advice by all means it doesn't Hannah so much good come on viv let's have it all try and make it a successful man of me energy thrift foresight self-respect character don't you hate people who have no character oh stop stop let's have no more of that horrible can't mr. parade if there really are only those two Gospels left the new mayors we're all kill ourselves for the same taint is in both through and through there is a touch of poetry about you today viv which has hitherto been lacking my dear Frank hunt you a little hunt sympathetic no it's good for me stops me from being sentimental checks you're strong natural preventative that way daddy oh yes go on don't spare me I was sentimental for one moment in my life beautifully sentimental by moonlight sauce I do take care I don't give yourself away don't you think mr. prey doesn't know all about my mother you should have told me that morning mr. parade you're rather old-fashioned in your delicacies after all surely it is you who are being a little old-fashioned in your prejudices miss Warren I feel bound to tell you speaking as an artist and blim that most intimate human relationships are far beyond and above the scope of the law that though I know your mother was an unmarried woman I do not respect her the less on that account I respect her more yeah is that all you know certainly it is all then you know nothing your guess is our innocence itself compared to the truth oh not I hope not miss Warren you're not making it easy for me to tell you mr. preyed if there is anything worse that is anything else are you sure you are right to tell us oh sure but if I had the strength I would spend the rest of my life in telling everybody and stamping and branding it into them till they felt their part in the abomination as I feel mine there's nothing I despise more than the wicked convention that protects these things by forbidding women to mention them and yet I cannot tell you the two words that describe what my mother is a ringing in my ears and struggling on my tongue yet I cannot out of them the shame of them is too much for me come let me

out of it and I could see that he was quite afraid of you what did we not become what as if I should be afraid of you dearie of course I told him it was all comfortable and settled between us and that we were on the best of terms maybe what's the meaning of this but I got it from the bank this morning it's my monthly allowance was sent to me as usual I sent it back to be credited to your account and asked them to send your lodgement receipt in future I shall support myself well wasn't it enough well why didn't you tell me I'll double it don't what I was intending to double it only let me know how much there's nothing to do with it from this time on I go my own way in my own business among my own friends and you will go yours goodbye goodbye goodbye now don't pretend you don't understand it's another useless scene so George Cross has explained the whole business to me oh that's shitty I'm just so your heaviest tank I've had I thought it was ended but you said you didn't man excuse me I do mind yep I explained you explained how it came about you did not tell me it was still going on baby you know how rich I am I've no doubt you're very rich you know what you don't know what all that means you're too young it means a new dress every day it means theaters and parties every night means having the pick of all the gentlemen and your a but your feet he's a lovely house and plenty of servants it means a choices to eating and drinking it means everything you like but everything you want everything you can think of what are you here yet a mere Drudge toiling and morning early too late for a beer living and too cheap Bess's a year now you think it over shocked I can enter into your feelings I think they do you credit but you trust me you see no one will blame you you can take my word for that I know what young girls are I know you'll think better of it when you've turned it over in your mind so that's how it's done is it mother you must have said that to many a young woman to have it off so pet am I asking you to do Oh Phoebe listen to me you don't understand now you've been taught wrong on purpose you don't know what the world is really like taught wrong on purpose what do you mean I mean you're throwing away all your chances for nothing you think that people are what they pretend to be that the way you were taught at school to think right and proper is the way things really are but it's not it's only a pretense to keep the cowardly slavish come on none of people quiet Oh managing people they all know if they do as I do they think as I think I know plenty of them I know them to speak to to introduce you to and to make friends are for you yeah I don't mean anything wrong you see that's what you don't understand your heads full of ignorant ideas about me a lot of the people that ever talked you know about life what about people like me when do they ever meet me speak to me like a name Aliya but tell them about me the fools what they would have done anything if I hadn't paid them know if I told you I want you to be respectable haven't I brought you up to be respectable well how can you keep it up without my money my influence and Lizzie's friends can't you see you're cutting your own throat as well as breaking my heart and turning your back on me I recognize the Crofts philosophy of life mother I had it all from him that day of the gardener's oh you think I want to force that plate out old salt on you I don't leave me not on my oath I don't it wouldn't matter if you did you wouldn't succeed mother you don't know at all the kind of woman I am I don't object to the crafts of this world more than I do to any other costly built man of his class to tell you the truth I rather admire him for being strong-minded enough to join himself in his own way and make plenty of money instead of leading the usual hunting shooting tailoring dining out life of his set Milly cause all the rest to it and I'm perfectly aware that I've been brought up in the same circumstances as Liz and I've done exactly what she did I didn't think I'm any more prejudiced or straight-laced than you are I think I'm less I'm certainly less sentimental I've realized that fashionable morality as a mere pretence and if I took your money and spent the rest of my life and spending it fashionably I could be as worthless and vicious as any girl could wish to be and not have a word said to me about it but I don't want to be worthless I wouldn't enjoy trotting around the park to advertise my dressmaker and my carriage builder or being boarded the off Oprah to show off a shop window full of diamonds but I haven't finished why do you continue in a business now that you're independent of it your sister you told me is left that all behind her why don't you do the same well it's all very easy for Liz she like sighs has hired him and she has the air of being a lady got imagine me in a Cathedral town with the very books and the trees it find me out even if I could stand the dullness of it I must my love can excitement or I shall go melancholy merde yam what else is there for me to do the life suits me I'm fitful not for anything else and if I didn't do it somebody else would so I don't do any real harm by it yeah and then it brings in money I like making money no it's no good I can't give it up not for anyone but what need you know about it cuz I'll never mention she got keep crafts away I'm not trouble you much I'm constantly running about from one place to another look you'll be quitting me all together when I die I'm my mother's daughter I'm like you I must work and I must make more money than I spend but my work is not your work in my way not your way we must part it won't make any real difference instead of meeting for a few months in 20 years we'll never meet that's all I meant to be more with you I did indeed it's know you'll smother I won't be changed by a few cheap tears and entreaties any more than you would I daresay you call a mother's tears she cost you nothing and you asked me to give up the peace and quietness of my whole life in exchange what use would my company be to you if you could get it what if we two in common that could make either of us happy together mother and daughter and I want my daughter I'm a write to you who's to care for me when I old many girls have taken to me like daughters and cried at leaving me but I let them all go because I had you to look forward to I kept myself lonely for you you've no right to turn your back on me now refuse to do your duty as a dog my duty as a daughter I thought we'd come to that now once and for all mother you want a daughter and Frank wants a wife I don't want a mother and I don't want a husband I've spared neither Frank nor myself and sending him about his business do you think I should spare you I never sought you why you've no mercy for yourself or anyone else I know experience has done it for me I can tell them tell us past hard selfish woman when I see her well take me up stuff to yourself I don't want you but you listen to this do you know what I would do with you if you were the baby again I as short as as a heaven above us strangle me perhaps know I'd bring you up to be a real daughter to me not what you are now with your pride and your prejudice and your college education that you stole from me yes though you tonight if you can what was it but stealing I'd bring you up in my own house I would in one of your own houses you live to have your own daughter tear and trample on you as you trampled on me and you will you will no woman ever had luck with her mother's curse honor I wish you wouldn't rent mother it only hardens me now come I suppose I'm the only young woman you've had in your power you've done good to don't spoil it now it's too new the only one that's ever turned on me oh I tried honest work I was slaved him until I curse the day I ever heard of honest work I was a good mother and because I made my daughter a good woman she turns me out as if I was a leper oh I have my life to live over again I'd talk to that lying clergyman at school from this time forth so help me heaven in my last hour I'll do wrong nothing but wrong and I'll prosper on it yes it's better to choose your line and go through with it and if I'd been you I'd probably got exactly what you did but I wouldn't have chosen one life and believed in another you're a conventional woman at heart mother and that's why I'm bidding you would buy I'm right am I not right to throw away all my money no right to get rid of you I'd be a fool not to isn't that so yes if it comes to that I suppose you are but lord help the world if everyone took to doing the right thing rather than stay what I'm not wanted why don't you shake hands No thank you goodbye and goodbye [Music] [Applause]
