:53:00
- Oh?
- Yes. Mr Strother's given me notice.
:53:03
I heard he wasn't satisfied. It's a
disappointment after the trouble I've taken.
:53:10
I was producing results.
:53:13
But if the school doesn't consider you
efficient... I'll give you another chance.
:53:18
- Thank you, Mr Barras.
- You can't expect the same terms.
:53:22
What did I offer?
:53:24
Half a crown a lesson,
three lessons a week.
:53:28
Tell you what I'll do. I'll give you
ten shillings a week for five lessons.
:53:33
You can start tonight.
Arrange it with my son. Good afternoon.
:53:38
Thank you.
:53:42
- I didn't know you were waiting.
- That's all right, Mr Barras.
:53:46
- You're running Millington's now?
- And a partnership in the offing.
:53:51
- I like to see one of my own men get on.
- Proud of it, Mr Barras.
:53:56
- Davey Fenwick. How are you?
- Fine, Joe.
:54:00
- How are you doing?
- Just pulled off a big deal.
:54:02
I like to see a man getting on.
Remember me to... Jenny.
:54:15
- It's been kept quiet?
- You don't want the men to know?
:54:19
Maybe they wouldn't understand
with all this about Scupper Flats.
:54:23
If I know where to find the best
coking coal, it's my duty to my firm.
:54:27
There's no reason why anyone should
know. You worried about young Fenwick?
:54:33
- You know him very well.
- I did and I didn't.
:54:36
He's headstrong.
Just lost his schoolmaster job.
:54:40
- Got the sack?
- Pity. He had brains.
:54:42
Shame he threw himself away
over a bit of a lass.
:54:46
I'll drop in on them and cheer him up.
Poor fellow, losing his job and all.
:54:53
J...
:54:54
How can we live on ten shillings a week?
:54:57
I'll get another post somewhere.
I'll advertise in Tynecastle.
