00:00I owe you my life.
00:01Oh, no, Dr. Crowley...
00:02Dr. Crowley has many gifts, but he doesn't have your hands.
00:07I know I must have talked incessantly during my delirium.
00:10I hope I said nothing foolish, nothing, uh...
00:13Nothing.
00:14Thank you. One never knows.
00:18You eager to be home?
00:19Yes.
00:20Do you have friends, relatives to meet you?
00:22No. We were many years in Jamaica, my husband and I.
00:25It was quite impossible to keep in touch.
00:27Oh, then forgive me, but, uh, where will you go?
00:31To Minton Street.
00:33Minton Street?
00:34It's in Kensington, just off the high street.
00:36I have a small property there. My late husband left it to me.
00:40Property? How fortunate.
00:41Oh, nothing imposing, of course. It's quite small, really.
00:45Very, very small, I think.
00:48Again, Mr. Bess.
00:50Yes.
00:51May I lean against your shoulder?
00:53Of course.
00:58You sit here. I'll get some cream.
01:00No, no, thank you. I feel much better.
01:02Goodbye, Mrs. Howard.
01:03But, Mr. Bess...
01:04I'll never forget your kindness.
01:05Perhaps we'll run into each other again. I do hope so.
01:08Goodbye and thank you a thousand times.
01:15What is it, Marcus?
01:17We're out of luck, Olivia.
01:19Something I depended on has fallen through.
01:21Well, only temporarily, I'm sure.
01:22No, permanently this time.
01:24Haven't any money, no prospect of any.
01:26Haven't a suit.
01:28Have to get away.
01:30Away?
01:32Yes, Australia, South Africa, somewhere.
01:35No, Mark, no.
01:37We'll not be parted now.
01:39What do you suggest?
01:41I've never really loved a man before.
01:44Nor been loved in return.
01:47I've never known what it was.
01:49Now I know.
01:51Nothing shall take it from me.
01:53Nothing.
01:56Nothing.
02:01Did you watch?
