:16:00
I didn't hear it all,
but they were speaking of Smike.

:16:03
- Newman, what shall we do?
- He stays at the Saracen's Head.

:16:09
Squeers, but no Smike.
:16:16
It's John Browdie.
:16:18
Is John Browdie good or bad?
:16:20
He gave me money
when he heard I'd beaten Squeers.

:16:22
He's very good.
:16:27
If it isn't...
:16:32
- What are you doing here?
- Tilda and I are on our honeymoon.

:16:35
Schoolmaster says this was a fine place
to stay. He's here as well.

:16:38
I know. You remember the boy
that was with me that night?

:16:41
Crippled lad? Of course.
:16:43
We suspect that Squeers has taken him,
just this day, by force.

:16:47
He's talked of nothing but revenge
since you left.

:16:50
Could you find out if he has him?
:16:52
Who do you suppose we've laid
our hands on, Wackford and me?

:16:55
In London?
Not that hateful, horrible Mr. Knuckleboy?

:16:58
No, but next door to him.
:17:00
- Smike?
- Aye!

:17:02
Me and young Wackford, we grabbed him!
:17:05
He was crying and begging me to let him go,
but I wouldn't.

:17:08
What have thee done with him?
:17:11
He's in the schoolmaster's room,
next to our room.

:17:13
- What is the way in?
- You must go through the inn...

:17:16
but the schoolmaster is sitting
in the front room, just by the stairs.

:17:19
Oh, dear, it's impossible.
:17:21
I could distract the schoolmaster.
Thee could slip past and go up to my room.

:17:26
There is a door
adjoining the schoolmaster's.

:17:28
Go through it, get the lad.
:17:30
I'll watch the stairs and again try
to distract him when thee come out.

:17:34
May I offer an opinion
with regards to this scheme?

:17:37
It seems foolhardy, redolent of danger...
:17:41
and doomed to failure.
Otherwise, I can find no fault with it.

:17:46
It is for Smike.
:17:51
Schoolmaster, I couldn't trouble thee
to take the head of the table, could I?

:17:56
I'd like to propose a toast to thee...
:17:59
and thy family.
To thee, Mr. Squeers and the lovely Fanny.
