:10:01
and take care of mother,
Kate, and Smike myself.
:10:04
- But I grow desperate.
- Now, don't say another word.
:10:15
My boy.
:10:19
My good sir,
would you be so good as to wait here?
:10:25
- Brother Ned?
- Yes, brother Charles?
:10:28
I've found someone for the position. We
should make inquiries into his statements.
:10:32
If confirmed, I'm hopeful they will be,
we should assist him.
:10:35
It's enough for me that if you say he should
be assisted, then we shall assist him.
:10:40
He has a mother, sister,
and friend in need of support...
:10:43
as well as the demands of his own stomach.
:10:45
Compared to us, dear brother,
he appears to have no stomach at all.
:10:48
Frank, where are those cakes?
:10:50
- Mr. Nickleby, my brother, Ned.
- How do you do, sir?
:10:54
Thank you, Frank.
:10:59
- My friend.
- Thank you.
:11:01
Would you give us a moment
to discuss your salary?
:11:05
Now then...
:11:06
I suppose we should ascertain
his previous...
:11:08
His previous stipend, of course.
:11:10
Forgive me, sir, your previous salary was?
:11:17
£1 a week, sir.
:11:19
An annual salary of £52.
:11:23
That's rather an unsuitable
emolument for a boy.
:11:25
For such a talented, prospective youth.
:11:33
Mr. Nickleby, we would like to offer you
a position here...
:11:36
working alongside our nephew, Frank.
:11:38
Based on the feeling I had during our walk...
:11:40
as well as by the rapidity
with which you ate that cake...
:11:45
we'd like to begin you on a salary
of £120 a year.
:11:54
Is it not enough?
:11:55
- We won't wait long before improving it.
- No.
:11:59
It is the generosity of it that undoes me.
