You will be rich
one day.

:20:03
That is not the point.
:20:07
Not the point.

Lucinda had never been on a boat.
:20:22
She had never been
to Sydney.

:20:25
She carried with her a bank draft
for her entire fortune...

:20:29
as well as an itchy impatience to grasp
what her mother had called...

:20:33
the working world.
:20:39
When Lucinda exploded her present
of the Prince Rupert's drop...

:20:43
it was not something
she easily forgot.

:20:47
She knew that glass
is a thing in disguise...

:20:49
is not solid at all,
but a liquid.

:20:52
And even while it is as frail as the ice
on a Parramatta puddle...

:20:56
it is stronger
than Sydney sandstone.

:21:02
It was as good a material
as any to build a life on.

:21:25
Thank you.
:21:29
One is more
than enough, miss.

:21:32
Oh.
:21:36
Good luck, miss.
:21:48
This Frenchman, Leplastrier...
:21:51
Ifhe expects to find
an expert on glass...

:21:53
I am afraid he'll find
only an enthusiast.

:21:56
However, he has found out my little hobby,
and I shall try to advise.
