:07:00
- Bellingen is approached by sea.
- Then I shall go by land.
:07:03
You cannot. It is largely
unmapped country.
:07:05
You think it is outside
my scope?
:07:08
- There is no shame in that.
- There is no truth in it, either.
:07:11
- I wager you I can do it.
You may nominate the date.
- This is madness.
:07:14
I am prepared
to wager you...
:07:16
that I can have the glass church
in Bellingen by, say...
:07:20
Good Friday.
:07:22
And what can you bet?
:07:28
- Ten guineas.
- No, that's not enough.
:07:32
What is enough?
:07:35
Your inheritance.
:07:38
My father may live
until he's 100.
:07:40
- He's not a rich man anyway.
- That makes no difference.
:07:42
- And you will bet? The same amount?
- Same.
:07:44
The same.
:07:47
My inheritance.
:07:49
- But you already have it.
- Yes.
:07:51
- Your works?
- Yes, everything.
:07:55
You... You will wager
all that?
:07:57
Yes.
:08:00
Five weeks without...
without even a game of penny poker...
:08:05
and... and now this.
:08:14
Very pretty, this fretwork.
:08:16
It is quite ingenious.
:08:18
Ah, here is my head clerk.
:08:21
Come in, Jeffris.
We have a question for you.
:08:24
Miss Leplastrier, Mr. Hopkins.
This is from the horse's mouth.
:08:28
Jeffris is quite the explorer.
:08:30
He has been there, up north,
on the road survey.
:08:34
- Wasn't it, Jeffris?
- Yes.
:08:36
He knows all
the ins and outs.
:08:40
Would that road
be of any use?
:08:43
If you were carrying cargo
of any sort...
:08:45
- it would be a fool's way to go.
- Oh.
:08:49
Well, we... Yes.
:08:51
We will have cargo, yes.
:08:54
- Then you must go by sea.
- Mr. Hopkins is set on going overland.
:08:59
- Is that so?
- Yes. Yes, I'm afraid it is.
