: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.
:52:02
I was told to bring him here, which I did,
keeping him in the garret.
:52:06
Neglect made him sickly.
:52:09
Mr. Brooker consulted a doctor...
:52:11
who said he must be removed from the city
for a change of air...
:52:15
or he would die.
:52:19
But he did die. I know that.
:52:23
At last I can say it.
:52:25
I told you that the boy had died,
but he had not.
:52:32
I had heard, like most men,
of Yorkshire schools.
:52:36
So I took the child to one
kept by a man named Squeers.
:52:41
I was able to pay the fees myself,
but then my troubles took over...
:52:44
and I was sent away out of this country.
:52:47
When I returned, nearly eight years later,
I sought you out.
:52:51
But you repulsed me.
:52:53
So I found out your clerk...
:52:56
and showed him there were good reasons
for communicating with me.
:52:59
I told him my story.
