:24:01
Can I leave you for a minute. It's one of my
clients. One of the biggest foundry owners.
:24:07
- That's all right, Joe.
- Back in a jiffy.
:24:10
- Joe's a card, isn't he?
- Yes.
:24:14
- Hello, Mr Millington.
- Hello, Gowlan. Anything good?
:24:18
A whisper about Rock Boy for the 3.30.
:24:21
Rock Boy, eh?
Laura, I believe you've met Joe Gowlan.
:24:25
We did meet at the Spring Handicap,
but I doubt you'll remember.
:24:29
- Of course. Won't you sit down?
- Well, I...
:24:32
- Have a drink.
- Thank you, Mr Millington.
:24:35
Smart lad. Wasting his time
in bookmaking. What was that horse?
:24:39
- Rock Boy, Mr Millington.
- Pretty girl, Mr Gowlan. Your fiancée?
:24:44
No, you've got the wrong end of the stick.
She's with a friend of mine from university.
:24:50
Oh.
:24:52
Stanley, weren't you saying something
about Mr Gowlan?
:24:57
I'm sorry. I thought you did.
Something about the Carnport works.
:25:02
Yes. Someone was telling me...
I forget who.
:25:06
I believe you know something
about coal, Gowlan.
:25:10
Nothing except I was born and bred on it.
:25:13
- I need a buyer for my Carnport works.
- I wouldn't say no.
:25:18
It may be possible, but don't count on it.
:25:22
- All I need's a start, you see...
- I know. You're a smart lad.
:25:26
You see...
:25:28
There's one thing I've got my heart set on.
I suppose you'd call it coal.
:25:35
- Coal?
- Coal mines.
:25:37
I'm trying to arrange a university debate
on the private ownership of coal mines.
:25:42
Of course. A very good thing.
:25:45
No, Miss Sunley.
I'm going to speak against it.
:25:49
Naturally, David.
I think it would be a very good thing.
:25:57
It's been ever so nice meeting you.
You'll be having letters after your name.
