:39:06
Smike is gone.
:39:11
Bless you, dear boy.
:39:16
Thank God for you, Newman.
:39:19
Always there to catch me.
:39:22
But what brings you here?
:39:24
The young lady
for whom you've come to care so deeply...
:39:28
- Is she in danger?
- She's to be married...
:39:30
- To Sir Mulberry Hawk.
- What?
:39:33
Before I tell you this,
promise you won't do anything rash.
:39:36
Tell me.
:39:38
It was your uncle. It was his idea.
:39:40
I overheard it,
and I'm sure he did it to wound you.
:39:44
I've so much more to tell you about him
and your dear friend Smike.
:39:48
Your uncle doesn't know it yet,
but he has just lost £10,000.
:40:02
What are you doing here?
:40:03
I come to offer aid
to the unhappy subject of your treachery:
:40:07
- Madeline Bray.
- Do you know her?
:40:12
I beg you for a moment alone.
:40:15
You were betrayed and sold for money.
:40:17
This web is of my own weaving.
I know what I am doing and why.
:40:21
I know why, too.
It only deepens my esteem for you.
:40:25
But you cannot degrade yourself
in your esteem...
:40:27
by giving yourself away
as payment for another man's debt.
:40:31
I will not disguise from you, sir,
that I have undergone some...
:40:37
pain of mind.
:40:41
I do not love the gentleman.
:40:45
This he knows,
and knowing, still offers me his hand.
:40:49
By accepting, I can free my father...
:40:51
Does your own happiness matter so little?
:40:54
Father is all that remains of my family.
:40:57
That is why I have come to offer you
a place in our home.
