:50:01
You're listening now, aren't you?
:50:05
You are an eavesdropping,
drunken scoundrel.

:50:10
I deny the charge,
but ask regardless, what of it?

:50:14
I'm back, Mr. Nickleby.
:50:20
What have we now?
:50:24
Do you know who this is?
:50:26
We are satisfied
Mr. Brooker speaks the truth.

:50:29
A common thief.
:50:31
A beggar. A convict!
:50:35
Were you not once married?
:50:41
What?
:50:55
There's no crime in that.
:50:57
But you desired the marriage
to be kept secret...

:51:00
for if your wife's father had known...
:51:02
he would have changed his will
and denied you his fortune.

:51:11
Mr. Brooker also tells us
your wife had a child.

:51:15
Your child.
:51:19
Because the marriage was secret,
this, too, had to be kept secret...

:51:23
and you sent her away.
:51:24
Hush, my dear.
:51:27
Don't mind it now.
:51:29
Let me raise your head.
:51:34
There.
:51:39
So the child was put out to nurse, far away.
:51:43
His mother never saw him,
and she grew tired of the deception.

:51:49
So she eloped with another man.
:51:51
Soon thereafter, she came into her money.
:51:56
You, naturally, pursued her...
:51:59
leaving me in charge of the boy.
