:14:04
What about the other boy?
:14:06
- Smike?
- Yes.

:14:09
You said that my nephew
was quite attached to him.

:14:13
What do you know of him?
:14:15
Only that he came to us 12 or so years ago.
:14:18
The money was paid at first,
and then it stopped.

:14:22
But I kept the lad out of charity...
:14:25
which coincided with a period
of usefulness on his part.

:14:28
- No parents then?
- No.

:14:30
- No person with any claim on him?
- No.

:14:34
So he's yours.
:14:36
And he's been stolen.
:14:37
Would it not be well within your rights
to take him?

:14:40
That would settle your score
with my nephew.

:14:43
Wounding him, not through force...
:14:48
but through his own affections.
:14:52
Capturing wayward boys
is something of a specialty.

:14:58
It's most kind of you
to join me on my errands.

:15:00
Ribbons for sale.
:15:02
- Oh, dear.
- What is it?

:15:04
Father used to tell me...
:15:06
there were girls who sold ribbons
on the streets in London...

:15:09
and that if we ever came here,
he would buy me some as a remembrance.

:15:15
Ribbons for sale.
:15:24
How much, please?
:15:25
Twopence for the pink ones.
Penny for the others.

:15:27
I'll take the pink one, please.
:15:30
Thank you.
:15:41
Help!
:15:44
Somebody! Help!
:15:52
It's Smike. He's been taken.
:15:58
It must be the wretched Squeers.
He was with your uncle.
