"Dear Kate...
:18:55
"My first morning here began with the news
that the pump had frozen...
:18:58
"but events soon distracted me. "
:19:00
- Smike!
- Who are you after?
:19:03
It's brimstone morning,
and I can't find the school spoon.
:19:06
We purify the boys' blood
now and then, Nickleby.
:19:10
Purify, fiddlesticks!
:19:14
We give the boys brimstone and treacle,
Mr. Knuckleboy...
:19:17
because if we didn't,
they'd always be ailing.
:19:21
It spoils their appetites and comes cheaper
than breakfast and dinner.
:19:25
You might say it does them good
and us good at the same time.
:19:29
Smike!
:19:34
- Where's the school spoon?
- Please, ma'am.
:19:38
Please.
:19:46
Don't contradict your mistress.
:19:50
Take it.
:19:52
Take it. Be thankful.
:19:54
A most invaluable woman that.
I don't know her equal.
:19:58
Nor I.
