00:02:05 I never saw a man meet death with finer courage.

00:02:12 Don't let her stay in there too long.

00:02:28 [Music]
00:02:37 Dear, is father, is father well now?
00:02:43 Yes, dear, he's well. He's quite well.
00:02:47 We have no one left now but each other.
00:02:51 No one at all.
00:02:56 Oh, my baby.
00:02:59 [Music]
00:03:19 Strawberry, fresh strawberry.
00:03:24 Strawberry, fresh strawberry.
00:03:35 You'll be pleased, Mary, won't you?
00:03:37 Oh, darling, just think of him getting the like of that for his birthday.
00:03:40 He'll be the happiest boy in all Brooklyn till he falls off of it.
00:03:45 Dear?
00:03:50 Dear?
00:03:51 All right, Betty.
00:03:53 Oh, dearest, look, look.
00:03:56 Mary's father, Michael, has made it for me.
00:03:58 And Mary's given me this book.
00:04:00 It's The Adventures of Robin Hood and His Merry Men.
00:04:03 Listen, back, Violet.
00:04:06 Touch Maid Marian at your peril.
00:04:08 However merry you be, I defy you all.
00:04:11 See, dearest, you're Maid Marian and I'm Robin Hood.
00:04:14 They crowd around you.
00:04:16 I'll never leave your side, however many there are.
00:04:18 Now, dearest, you cry out, "Help me, Robin!"
00:04:21 Help me, Robin Hood.
00:04:22 Help, help, help.
00:04:23 Violet, now I've got you.
00:04:26 There.
00:04:31 Isn't that wonderful?
00:04:33 You like it?
00:04:36 Oh, my.
00:04:39 Of all the events in my life, this is the most magnificent.
00:04:45 Do you really like it, darling?
00:04:47 It's what you wanted?
00:04:48 It's exactly what I wanted.
00:04:50 Oh, I do hope it is.
00:04:52 Only you will be careful, won't you, and not let it run away with you or anything.
00:04:55 I suppose I'm about the safest bicycle rider in the whole of Brooklyn.
00:04:59 Ah, do you mind that now?
00:05:02 Can I ride it now, dearest?
00:05:04 Can I do now?
00:05:05 Oh.
00:05:06 I can't wait one minute.
00:05:08 Bob has to see us, and Dick.
00:05:10 Can I go now, dearest?
00:05:12 At once?
00:05:13 Yes, dear, only do be careful.
00:05:17 There we are.
00:05:18 Oh, you're so beautiful.
00:05:20 Betty, Betty, do be careful of the streetcars.
00:05:23 You should get off the sidewalk.
00:05:25 Oh, I'll see you.
00:05:26 Wait a minute.
00:05:27 Wait a minute.
00:05:28 Goodbye, dear.
00:05:29 Goodbye.
00:05:31 Get love, get love, careful, get love, careful, careful, careful.
00:05:40 Good morning, Mrs. McGilligaddy.
00:05:42 Good morning, Shetty.
00:05:43 A very good morning.
00:05:44 How are your bones today, Mrs. McGilligaddy?
00:05:46 Oh, none too good after the rainstorm yesterday.
00:05:49 Oh, they gave last night something cruel.
00:05:52 Tires me up at last, the rain, yes.
00:05:55 Does it?
00:05:56 How very peculiar.
00:05:57 But, uh, it's a fine day to go bicycle riding.
00:06:01 Oh, I suppose so.
00:06:03 For them that has bicycles and can ride them.
00:06:05 I suppose everybody who has a new bicycle will take it out and ride it today.
00:06:10 Glory be to goodness, and whose bicycle might that be?
00:06:14 It's mine.
00:06:15 It's my birthday present from the earth.
00:06:17 Oh, it's a daisy.
00:06:19 Fine enough for the president to ride.
00:06:21 And it has all the latest improvements.
00:06:24 Oh, sure it sounds like the bells of St. Patrick's.
00:06:27 Sure it's the luckiest boy in the world, child.
00:06:31 Well, I'll have to be going.
00:06:34 Oh, I nearly forgot.
00:06:36 Please choose my apple now, Mrs. McGilligaddy.
00:06:38 But would you mind keeping it for me until I get back?
00:06:41 Sure.
00:06:42 [Music]
00:07:06 [Whistling]
00:07:14 [Singing]
00:07:23 Hey, Boise, where'd you get the ice wagon?
00:07:25 I'd like to get the ice.
00:07:27 Give us a little ride, will you, bub?
00:07:29 I'm sorry, no.
00:07:31 Aw, scared I'll get it dirty?
00:07:32 No, but I'd rather ride it myself.
00:07:34 All right, Boise, you're the best.
00:07:37 Hey, English, when did you get back from dear old London?
00:07:39 I'm not English.
00:07:40 I'm an American.
00:07:41 Now, where'd you get that kind of gab?
00:07:43 My father was English.
00:07:44 He was sending me for your affair.
00:07:46 Oh, does your mother know you're out?
00:07:48 Don't you dare talk about my mother.
00:07:49 Mama said.
00:07:50 Mama said.
00:07:51 Mama said.
00:07:54 I think you'd better take your hand off that wheel.
00:07:57 Want to make anything out of it?
00:07:58 I want to make you get out of the way.
00:08:00 [Laughter]
00:08:03 You don't dance, you sissy cat.
00:08:05 Sissy cat!
00:08:07 [Laughter]
00:08:11 Wait a minute, Betty.
00:08:12 Don't let him bluff you.
00:08:13 I'll be right there.
00:08:14 [Laughter]
00:08:21 [Coughing]
00:08:27 [Indistinct chatter]
00:08:42 Ow, ow, let go!
00:08:44 [Indistinct chatter]
00:08:48 Go on, Dick.
00:08:49 Strike him on the smooth.
00:08:52 Hit him with the right.
00:08:53 Knock him with the left.
00:08:54 Hit him with the right, Betty.
00:08:55 [Indistinct chatter]
00:09:00 Come on, leave it.
00:09:01 Come on.
00:09:02 Get out of here.
00:09:03 Hey, you young devil, get out of here.
00:09:05 Get out.
00:09:06 [Music]
00:09:14 Oh, why couldn't that copper leave us alone?
00:09:16 We had him late.
00:09:17 Thanks terribly for coming to my rescue, Dick.
00:09:20 Aw, Nix, that makes us even for me giving you the munch.
00:09:22 They didn't even scratch it.
00:09:24 Gee, Wilkers, what'd you swipe there?
00:09:27 The heirs gave it to me.
00:09:28 Isn't it magnificent?
00:09:29 It's a lot if I lose it.
00:09:31 I want you to be the very first person to ride on it.
00:09:33 Aw, thanks.
00:09:34 [Laughter]
00:09:36 [Music]
00:09:41 Aw.
00:09:42 [Music]
00:09:47 Thank you very much for your assistance, Sister O'Brien.
00:09:50 It's a pleasure, Freddie, my lad.
00:09:52 Of course, I think we might have won anyway.
00:09:55 Sure, and don't I know it?
00:09:57 But I have to keep you from permitting murder.
00:10:00 I tell you what, Dick.
00:10:01 I'll just go once around the block, and then you can ride it down to Mr. Hobbs' store.
00:10:05 Make it later, 'cause right away I gotta go see my brother Ben off.
00:10:07 He's going out west.
00:10:09 Where's he?
00:10:10 Where? Texas?
00:10:11 No, Chicago.
00:10:12 Oh, that'll be splendid.
00:10:13 Riding mustangs and shooting bears.
00:10:15 [Music]
00:10:18 [Whistle]
00:10:19 There's my brother Ben now.
00:10:21 Come on, Dick.
00:10:22 I've got to leave.
00:10:26 Well, come on down to Mr. Storff's quickly if you can.
00:10:37 What do you say to a little birthday party?
00:10:39 Ginger pop, cookies, and some candy.
00:10:41 That would be perfect, Mr. Hobbs.
00:10:44 Only, um...
00:10:45 Only?
00:10:46 Well, uh, Dick's coming very soon.
00:10:49 And I was thinking, uh, if we could wait...
00:10:52 I guess there'll be enough to go around.
00:10:56 There's a lump coming, I think.
00:10:58 Quite a big one.
00:11:00 What are you reading, Mr. Hobbs?
00:11:02 Ah, that's the way they go on now.
00:11:05 British aristocracy.
00:11:07 I've got no use for 'em.
00:11:09 Earls and marquises going around as if they was lords of creation, wearing their coronets.
00:11:15 Did you ever know any marquises, Mr. Hobbs?
00:11:17 Or earls?
00:11:18 I should say not.
00:11:20 I'd just like to catch one of them inside here, that's all.
00:11:23 I'll have no grasping parents sitting around on my cracker barrels.
00:11:26 Perhaps they wouldn't be earls if they knew any better.
00:11:29 Oh, wouldn't they, though?
00:11:31 They're just glory in it.
00:11:32 It's in 'em.
00:11:35 They're a bad lot.
00:11:37 Here you are, Dick.
00:11:39 Just in time for Betty's birthday feast.
00:11:41 Gimini, ginger pop, and everything.
00:11:43 Here's to your health, Betty.
00:11:45 Many happy birthdays.
00:11:46 Thank you very much, Mr. Hobbs.
00:11:49 Why, Mary!
00:11:52 Come on, home, darling.
00:11:53 The mistress is wanting you.
00:11:54 Oh, glory be.
00:11:55 Would you look at your face.
00:11:57 I'm very sorry, Mr. Hobbs, but I shall be able to stay for the feast.
00:12:01 Is there anything wrong with you?
00:12:03 Ah, not at all.
00:12:04 Sure there's nothing the matter with her.
00:12:05 What's happened, Mary?
00:12:06 Don't be asking me any questions.
00:12:09 Well, strange things happen at the wedding.
00:12:13 If you'll forgive me, Mrs. Errol, you must not disregard the great position to which your son has fallen heir
00:12:19 through the death of his uncle, your late husband's brother.
00:12:22 But what it amounts to, Mr. Havisham, is that you want to take my boy away from me.
00:12:26 Mrs. Errol, you must remember that I'm acting quite impersonally and simply as a lawyer of the Earl of Dorincourt.
00:12:32 The Earl of Dorincourt disowned his son, and has refused to recognize his grandson until now.
00:12:39 Why should I give up my boy?
00:12:41 I'm afraid I've been very stupid, Mrs. Errol.
00:12:43 I should have told you.
00:12:44 My instructions are that you shall accompany Lord Fontoretto.
00:12:48 Oh.
00:12:49 Now, I must remind you that Lord Dorincourt is not very friendly, don't you?
00:12:54 He's an old man, and has always had very strong prejudices against America and Americans.
00:13:00 He was bitterly opposed to his son's marriage.
00:13:03 He's fixed on his determination not to see you.
00:13:07 You live at the lodge.
00:13:09 A suitable income will be provided for you.
00:13:12 The only stipulation is that you make no attempt to visit your son at the castle,
00:13:18 nor even enter the park gates.
00:13:24 There's your sister, Mary.
00:13:26 Hello, Bridget.
00:13:28 What's the matter?
00:13:30 This is Michael.
00:13:31 He's murdered.
00:13:32 We have no money.
00:13:33 We can't pay the rent.
00:13:35 I don't know what to do.
00:13:36 Now, Bridget, I've more important things to attend to.
00:13:44 I wonder what your husband's wishes would have been in this matter.
00:13:50 You... you knew my husband?
00:13:53 Yes, I knew Captain Errol well, and liked him as everybody did.
00:13:59 He was greatly attached to his old home.
00:14:02 Yes, I know.
00:14:05 He, above everyone, would have appreciated what this means to your son,
00:14:09 the very great advantages he'll have.
00:14:13 Yes, you're right.
00:14:17 My husband would have wished it.
00:14:21 Mr. Havisham, I must ask you to let me tell Freddy about this in my own way and in my own time.
00:14:27 He must never know his grandfather dislikes me.
00:14:30 If he did, it would make it harder for them to be friends.
00:14:33 Very well.
00:14:35 Your son will thank you for this when he's a man.
00:14:38 I hope his grandfather would love Freddy.
00:14:41 He has a very affectionate nature and has always been loved.
00:14:54 This is Mr. Havisham, dear, whom your grandfather has sent to see us,
00:14:58 all the way from England.
00:15:00 How do you do, sir?
00:15:02 So this is little Lord Forthroy.
00:15:16 You see, dear, your grandfather has no more children now, and he's very lonely.
00:15:21 So he wanted to go and live with him in England.
00:15:24 Because he's an Earl, and you are his heir, you will have a new name, Lord Forthroy.
00:15:31 And someday you will be the Earl of Dorincourt.
00:15:34 Oh, dearest, do I have to be an Earl?
00:15:37 None of the boys are Earls.
00:15:38 Can't I not be one?
00:15:40 I'm afraid it can't be helped, dear.
00:15:42 Just think, dear, soon we'll be starting for England.
00:15:46 Do we have to go to England, dearest?
00:15:48 I'd much rather not.
00:15:51 Oh, what will Mr. Havisham say?
00:16:00 Anything else, ma'am?
00:16:01 Uh, how much is your table butter?
00:16:03 Thirteen cents a pound, ma'am.
00:16:04 Thirteen?
00:16:05 Why, the last I bought was only twelve and a half cents.
00:16:08 That must have been last month.
00:16:09 It's thirteen today.
00:16:10 Oh, indeed.
00:16:11 Well, never mind the butter.
00:16:13 Heavens and earth, if prices go any higher, we'll all starve to death.
00:16:18 Say?
00:16:19 Good day, ma'am.
00:16:21 Hello, Setty.
00:16:22 What's the matter?
00:16:24 Mr. Hobbs, do you remember what we were talking about yesterday morning?
00:16:31 It seems to me we were talking about England.
00:16:34 Yes, yes, and Earl, don't you remember?
00:16:38 Oh, yes.
00:16:39 We did touch him up a little, that's all.
00:16:42 You said you wouldn't have him sitting around on your cracker barrel.
00:16:45 So I did, and I meant it, too.
00:16:48 Just let him try it, that's all.
00:16:52 Mr. Hobbs, one is sitting on this barrel now.
00:17:01 What?
00:17:04 Yes, I am one, or I'm going to be.
00:17:07 I won't deceive you, Mr. Hobbs.
00:17:12 It's the heat.
00:17:18 It is a hot day.
00:17:23 How do you feel?
00:17:24 Got any pain?
00:17:26 Thank you, I'm all right.
00:17:28 I'm sorry to say it's true, Mr. Hobbs.
00:17:31 Mr. Havisham, he's a lawyer, came all the way from England to tell us about it.
00:17:35 My grandfather sent him.
00:17:41 I'm afraid, Mr. Havisham, our American food must seem very strange to you.
00:17:44 A little, ma'am.
00:17:45 I find that muffins are biscuits and biscuits are cookies.
00:17:49 But the cooking's excellent.
00:17:51 And after all, it's a company that makes a meal exquisite, not food.
00:17:55 Thank you, Mr. Havisham.
00:17:57 When you're an earl, you'll give splendid dinners in one of the most beautiful castles in England.
00:18:04 You know, I'm not sure I know exactly what an earl is.
00:18:08 I think if anybody's going to be one, he ought to know, don't you?
00:18:11 Would you mind explaining it to me?
00:18:14 Well, someone is made an earl generally because he's done some service to his sub or some great deed.
00:18:21 Oh, that's like the president.
00:18:23 Oh, is it? Is that why your presidents are elected?
00:18:25 Yes, sir.
00:18:26 When a man is very good and knows a great deal, he's elected president.
00:18:30 And they have talks like the session, and bands, and everybody makes speeches.
00:18:35 I used to think perhaps I might like to be president, but I never thought of being an earl.
00:18:40 Being an earl is rather different from being a president.
00:18:43 An earl is generally of very ancient lineage.
00:18:47 What's that?
00:18:49 Very old family, extremely old.
00:18:52 Oh, that's like the apple woman.
00:18:55 She's a hundred, I should think.
00:18:57 She's of such ancient lineage, it'll surprise you how she can stand up.
00:19:04 I used to feel sorry for anyone who's so poor and has such ancient lineage.
00:19:08 Her house has gone into her bones and the rain makes it worse.
00:19:13 When I said ancient lineage, I didn't mean old age.
00:19:16 The first earl of Dahlengort was created an earl hundreds of years ago.
00:19:21 Well, well, that was a long time ago, wasn't it, dear?
00:19:24 Yes, dear.
00:19:25 Many earls have been very brave men and have fought in great battles.
00:19:29 I should like to do that myself.
00:19:31 My father was a soldier and a very brave man, as brave as George Washington.
00:19:36 I'm glad earls are brave. That's a great bounty.
00:19:39 Would you excuse me a moment, please? There's someone I must see.
00:19:43 Oh, certainly, of course.
00:19:48 There's another advantage of being an earl.
00:19:52 Some of them have a great deal of money.
00:19:55 That's a good thing to have.
00:19:57 I wish I had a great deal of money.
00:20:00 Do you? Why?
00:20:01 Well, there's so many things a person can do with money.
00:20:04 If I were very rich, I'd buy the apple woman a little tent to put her stall in, the stove.
00:20:09 And I'd give her a shawl, because then her bones wouldn't feel so badly.
00:20:14 And what else would you do if you were rich?
00:20:17 I'd buy dearest all sorts of beautiful things.
00:20:20 Dearest?
00:20:21 I call mother dearest, because father did.
00:20:23 And Miss Dick...
00:20:24 And who's Dick?
00:20:26 Dick's a bootleg.
00:20:27 I'd buy him some new cloths and brushes and a new fire and start him up there.
00:20:32 He says that's all he wants, is to start up there.
00:20:35 Hmm. Is there anything else?
00:20:38 Well, I think Mr. Hobbs would like a gold watch and chain.
00:20:41 But what would you get just for yourself if you were rich?
00:20:46 Isn't there one particular thing you've dreamed of having?
00:20:50 Yes.
00:20:53 Holy...
00:20:56 I suppose that would be too much to even dream about.
00:21:01 I'm so sorry.
00:21:04 A poor woman who was in trouble came to see me.
00:21:07 Oh, is it Bridget?
00:21:08 Yes, dear.
00:21:09 I wish we could do something for her.
00:21:12 She has six children and her husband is out of work.
00:21:15 He has inflammatory rheumatism, and that's the kind of rheumatism that's dreadful.
00:21:19 Before I left Orincourt Castle, the Earl said that if you expressed any wishes,
00:21:24 I was to gratify them and give you anything you desired.
00:21:30 Now, here...
00:21:32 Here are five pounds.
00:21:34 And your money, $25.
00:21:37 If you have any desire to assist this poor woman, I'm sure your grandfather would wish it.
00:21:43 Can I have it now?
00:21:45 Can I give it to her this minute?
00:21:49 May I be excused, dear?
00:21:51 Yes, dear.
00:21:52 Bridget!
00:21:53 Bridget!
00:21:54 Wait a minute!
00:21:55 Here's the money my grandfather gave to me.
00:21:57 For you.
00:22:00 That's a great deal of money, Mr. Havisham.
00:22:02 We've never had very much.
00:22:04 I'm just beginning to realize the great power said he will have.
00:22:09 Such a child still.
00:22:10 I'm a little afraid.
00:22:12 I think from what I've seen of him, that you have nothing to fear.
00:22:15 Oh, I hope not.
00:22:17 He mustn't be spoiled by all these wonderful changes.
00:22:24 She cried.
00:22:27 She said she was crying for joy.
00:22:31 I never saw anyone cry for joy before.
00:22:37 My grandfather must be a very good man.
00:22:43 He's a much more agreeable being than I thought he was going to be.
00:22:48 In fact, I'm almost quite glad I'm going to be one.
00:22:53 [music]
00:23:16 We always liked that little house, didn't we, dearest?
00:23:20 We always will like it.
00:23:23 Yes, darling.
00:23:24 Yes.
00:23:25 [music]
00:23:41 I've come to say goodbye.
00:23:43 I have to go to England to be a lord, and I shouldn't like to have to have your bones on my mind every time it rains.
00:23:48 Oh, bless your dear little heart with all your kindness to me.
00:23:51 This board is as quiet as anything.
00:23:56 Can I give you a kiss, my love?
00:23:58 Of course.
00:24:05 Here's an apple to eat on the board.
00:24:08 Thank you very much.
00:24:10 Oh, Norda, where's your pay?
00:24:13 As me late husband used to say, this one's on the house.
00:24:17 Thank you again.
00:24:19 Well, goodbye.
00:24:21 Goodbye, darling.
00:24:23 [music]
00:24:51 Well?
00:24:55 Well.
00:24:58 Well?
00:25:02 Well.
00:25:05 Well, goodbye.
00:25:08 I hope trade will be good.
00:25:11 Gee, if trade gets any better, I'll be rolling around in diamonds and coils.
00:25:15 That would be splendid, wouldn't it?
00:25:18 I hope you have every sort of luck and happiness.
00:25:21 Thanks, same to you, and I hope you think about us sometime when you're way over there, as they say, on foreign sorrows.
00:25:30 I'll think about you all the time, and I'll write to you.
00:25:33 You must write to me.
00:25:36 Here's where you send your letter.
00:25:40 Gee, I wish you wasn't going away.
00:25:46 Thanks, mister, for all the swell things you've done for him.
00:25:49 He frightened me to death. He's a game little kid.
00:25:54 Gee, I almost forgot.
00:25:58 Here, I bought this for you.
00:26:01 It's a handkerchief. You can use it when you get among them swells.
00:26:06 Oh, Dick, it's beautiful.
00:26:08 It's, it's, it's extraordinary.
00:26:11 I'll use it always.
00:26:15 Thank you, Dick. Thank you very much.
00:26:20 Well, goodbye.
00:26:24 Well, goodbye.
00:26:34 Would you mind very much not going in with me? I think this time I'd better be alone.
00:26:39 Certainly, I quite understand.
00:26:46 This is for you, Mr. Hobbs.
00:26:57 It'll look fine when you're smoking it.
00:27:03 Why, city, that's just what I wanted for a long time.
00:27:08 This is my real present, Mr. Hobbs.
00:27:31 There's something written on it, inside the case.
00:27:35 I told the man what to say. You read it.
00:27:45 "From his oldest friend, Lord Ponderoy, to Mr. Hobbs,
00:27:54 when this you see, remember me.
00:28:04 When this you see, remember me."
00:28:11 I don't want you to forget me.
00:28:13 Oh, I won't forget you.
00:28:15 Don't you go and forget me when you go over there amongst those British aristocracy.
00:28:19 I shouldn't forget you, whoever I was among.
00:28:22 I hope you'll come to see me.
00:28:25 Perhaps my grandfather will write me back to you.
00:28:29 You, you wouldn't mind him being an Earl, would you?
00:28:32 I mean, you wouldn't stay away just because he was one.
00:28:36 Oh, I'll come and see you.
00:28:42 I, I won't be able to help myself.
00:29:04 [Music]
00:29:28 [Laughter]
00:29:38 [Music]
00:30:01 Is this Dorincourt Castle, dearest?
00:30:03 No, this is Fort Lodge, where your...
00:30:09 See, it's Mary!
00:30:10 We had a splendid time in London, Mary.
00:30:12 Oh.
00:30:15 I'm so glad you came before us, Mary.
00:30:18 We don't feel so strange finding you here to welcome us.
00:30:20 Oh, it's such a great happiness I wish you, ma'am, in your lovely new home.
00:30:28 This is Mrs. Baines, the cook, ma'am, and that's Susan, the parlour maid.
00:30:34 I'm sure we'll do everything, ma'am, to make you comfortable.
00:30:38 Oh, I'm sure you will.
00:30:47 I must say goodbye.
00:30:49 The carriage is waiting to take me to the castle.
00:30:51 I'm still the Earl of your safe arrival.
00:30:54 You needn't go tonight.
00:30:57 I'd so like to have him with me my first night here.
00:31:00 No, I'm sure Lord Dorincourt won't expect his grandson tonight.
00:31:04 Tomorrow will be time enough.
00:31:07 I dread simply telling him that we're not going to live together anymore.
00:31:13 I'm a coward, I know, putting it off so long.
00:31:16 But it's the most difficult and cruel thing I've ever had to do.
00:31:26 I wish you'd tell his lordship, please, that I'd rather not have the money.
00:31:31 You mean the income he wishes to settle on?
00:31:34 I have a little money of my own, quite enough to live simply on.
00:31:38 I'd not accept the house, of course, because that makes it possible to move near Feddy.
00:31:42 I'm grateful to him for that, but...
00:31:44 He'd be very angry.
00:31:46 He won't understand it at all.
00:31:49 I think he will understand.
00:31:53 He must understand that I can't accept money from a man who...
00:31:57 hates me so much...
00:32:00 that he's separating me from my boy.
00:32:03 I'll deliver your message.
00:32:17 I think it's beautiful here, don't you, dear?
00:32:25 Feddy, darling, there's something I must tell you.
00:32:29 You're not going to understand it, I know.
00:32:33 But I want you to believe me, as you always have, when I tell you it's for the best.
00:32:40 Tomorrow, Mr. Havisham will take you to your grandfather.
00:32:45 You will live with him at the castle.
00:32:48 But I shall not go with you.
00:32:52 This pretty house will be my home, and Mary will be here to look after me.
00:32:56 But, dearest, you don't mean...
00:33:01 You can't mean that we're not going to be together, just as we've always been?
00:33:07 Oh, no, I can't. I couldn't.
00:33:11 I won't. I won't.
00:33:16 Feddy, you must be brave and sensible.
00:33:21 If there are some things you can't understand now, you'll understand them later.
00:33:28 It's best for you to live there. There are good reasons why it is.
00:33:34 You mean you want me to go away from you?
00:33:38 Of course not, darling.
00:33:42 But now you're growing older, and we must trust, help one another without asking any questions.
00:33:49 You know, Feddy, your grandfather loves you, wants you to love him.
00:33:54 He's so kind, he wants you to be happy and to make other people happy.
00:33:59 But, dearest, I can't be happy without you.
00:34:04 But you won't be without me all the time.
00:34:07 I'm not far from the castle here. You'll run in and see me every day.
00:34:12 You'll love the castle. There'll always be something new and interesting to tell me.
00:34:17 And I'll have things to tell you. Oh, Feddy, we'll have such good times together.
00:34:22 We'll be finding things out, both of us.
00:34:26 We'll be exploring.
00:34:29 Yes, like... like Mr. Stanley and Mr. Livingstone.
00:34:34 It'll be exciting.
00:34:38 And every night, when it grows dark, I'll put a candle in the window to guide you through the jungle, Mr. Stanley.
00:34:49 [Music]
00:35:13 [Footsteps]
00:35:31 Ah, Newick, how's his lordship?
00:35:33 In a rare mood this evening, he is. He told me to evict all the tenants if they weren't paid up.
00:35:38 Oh, I dare say that'll be a job to your liking.
00:35:49 Oh, sir.
00:35:50 Ah, Burbess. Glad to see you again.
00:35:52 I'm very glad to see you, sir.
00:35:56 Oh, India, don't wash your clothes. Bring my clothes.
00:36:02 Oh, yes, sir. These last few weeks have been the worst I've ever known, sir.
00:36:09 I am surrounded by a lot of incompetent people. Shut the door, you blothead!
00:36:15 I can't stand him no longer, Mr. Burbess. He's too much for any man.
00:36:19 Cursing and swearing and calling people out with names like he does. And it ain't just today, it's every day.
00:36:24 Thomas, you brought in the 63 fort. You prefer the 51.
00:36:28 Oh, I didn't know he didn't say.
00:36:30 I'm sick of the bottle.
00:36:32 Oh, I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't mean to.
00:36:37 I can't seem to find a more amiable and affectionate of a grandfather.
00:36:41 In fact, he already regards you as a wonder of generosity.
00:36:50 Ah, you don't, huh?
00:36:56 I would suggest, my lord, that Fontaroy's impression of you depends entirely upon yourself.
00:37:03 I make a further suggestion that you'll succeed better with him if you take care not to speak slightly to him and his mother.
00:37:11 Oh, you're a nine.
00:37:13 Nevertheless, those nine years have been spent at his mother's side. She had all his affection.
00:37:20 Hm. Well, that leaves me generous, eh? Hm.
00:37:36 [Groans]
00:37:45 [Music]
00:38:07 Ah, service. This is Lord Fontaroy.
00:38:10 My lord.
00:38:11 How do you do?
00:38:12 Thank you, my lord.
00:38:30 My lord.
00:38:37 This is Lord Fontaroy.
00:38:39 Lord Fontaroy, this is Mrs. Mellon, the housekeeper.
00:38:42 How do you do, ma'am?
00:38:43 I shouldn't know his lordship anywhere, sir. He has detracted faith and way.
00:38:49 Oh, wasn't it you who sent Kat?
00:38:51 I'm never so much obliged to you, ma'am.
00:38:55 How do you do?
00:38:58 He's a great lady, sir.
00:39:00 Where's his lordship?
00:39:01 In the library, sir.
00:39:03 Lord Fontaroy is with him alone.
00:39:26 Lord Fontaroy, my lord.
00:39:43 You will.
00:39:44 Come back, sir.
00:39:53 How do you do, sir?
00:40:09 Are you the Earl?
00:40:11 I'm your grandson, Mr. Havensenbrock.
00:40:14 I'm Lord Fontaroy.
00:40:22 You look quite well.
00:40:24 I'm very glad to see you.
00:40:26 Ah, you're glad to see me, are you?
00:40:29 Yes, very.
00:40:38 I kept wondering what you would look like, if you'd be anything like my father.
00:40:42 Oh, am I?
00:40:44 Well, I don't think you are, very.
00:40:46 You're disappointed, I suppose.
00:40:48 Oh, no.
00:40:49 Of course you would enjoy the way your grandfather looked, even if he wasn't like your father.
00:40:54 You know how it is yourself about marrying your relations.
00:40:58 Eh?
00:40:59 I'm not sure that I do.
00:41:01 Oh, any boy would love his grandfather, especially one who's been as kind to him as you've been.
00:41:06 Oh, so I've been kind to you, have I?
00:41:08 Yes.
00:41:09 I never so much obliged to you about Bridget and the Apple Woman and Dick.
00:41:13 Who's Dick?
00:41:14 Apple Woman?
00:41:15 They were particular friends of mine.
00:41:17 You know, they were the ones who gave me all that money for us.
00:41:20 The money you told Mr. Havisham to give me, if I wanted it.
00:41:23 Oh, the money you were to spend as you liked, eh?
00:41:26 So you spent it all on these people, did you?
00:41:29 Bridget, Dick, and the Apple Woman.
00:41:32 Yes, and I gave Mr. Hobbs a gold watch and chain and the pipe.
00:41:36 I put some poetry in the watch.
00:41:39 It was, "When this you see, remember me."
00:41:45 I'm going to miss Mr. Hobbs very much.
00:41:48 Who is Mr. Hobbs?
00:41:50 He was our grocer. Fancy vegetables and groceries, you know.
00:41:54 He's my closest friend.
00:41:57 Mr. Hobbs is a very clever man.
00:41:59 Do you know he can recite the Declaration of Independence right through?
00:42:04 Oh.
00:42:06 What's the matter?
00:42:08 I just remembered you might not like to hear about the Declaration of Independence.
00:42:12 I forgot you were an Englishman.
00:42:15 I forgot you were English too, didn't you?
00:42:17 Oh, no. I'm an American.
00:42:19 You are English.
00:42:21 Your father was an Englishman.
00:42:23 I was born in America.
00:42:24 You have to be an American if you're born in America.
00:42:27 You don't...
00:42:28 I beg your pardon for contradicting you.
00:42:31 Mr. Hobbs says that if there's ever to be another war, that I should have to be an American.
00:42:35 But I promised him that if there were to be another war, I should try to stop it.
00:42:39 You would, would you?
00:42:42 Very great friend.
00:42:44 He was the best friend I had, except...
00:42:46 What are you thinking of?
00:42:56 I was thinking of Darius.
00:42:59 Who is Darius?
00:43:01 She is my mother.
00:43:07 I... I think I'd better get up and walk up and down.
00:43:11 He's a very nice dog.
00:43:24 He is my friend.
00:43:26 He knows how I feel.
00:43:28 How do you feel?
00:43:32 Come here.
00:43:39 You see, I never was away from my own house before.
00:43:59 It makes a person feel a strange feeling when he has to stay all night in another person's castle instead of his own house.
00:44:08 But Darius was not very far away from me.
00:44:11 She told me to remember that.
00:44:14 And after all, I'm nine years old.
00:44:17 And I can look at the picture she leaves me.
00:44:21 Look.
00:44:23 You press the spring and it opens.
00:44:25 And there she is.
00:44:29 And I suppose you think you're very fond of her.
00:44:45 Yes, I do think so and it's true.
00:44:48 Mr. Hobson and the others were my friends.
00:44:51 Darius is my close friend.
00:44:54 My father left her to me to take care of.
00:44:58 When I'm a man, I'm going to work and earn money for her.
00:45:02 Oh. What do you think of doing?
00:45:05 Well, I did think of going into business with Mr. Hobbs.
00:45:09 I should like to be president.
00:45:12 We'll send you to the House of Lords instead.
00:45:16 Well, if I couldn't be president and if that's a good business, I shouldn't mind.
00:45:21 The grocery business is dull sometimes.
00:45:25 Yes, the House of Lords.
00:45:28 But it's the business that every Earl of Darrington goes into.
00:45:32 I shall have to talk to Dearest about it.
00:45:36 [Music]
00:45:42 [Music]
00:46:11 Good night.
00:46:14 God keep you all the night.
00:46:18 Morning, Thomas.
00:46:21 Good morning, sir.
00:46:22 Is the Lordship?
00:46:24 In the library, sir.
00:46:25 And such goings-on I never heard in all my life.
00:46:27 Do you think it'll be all right for me to see him?
00:46:29 Oh, yes, sir. He's expecting you.
00:46:38 Ah.
00:46:41 Ah.
00:46:49 Ah.
00:46:50 Morning, Mordant.
00:46:52 Found a new employment, you see.
00:46:55 Any good at marbles, Mordant?
00:46:57 My muscles are a little stiff, my lord, but I'll see what I can do.
00:47:02 Oh, pity about that. I'd forgotten about your age.
00:47:05 [Chuckles]
00:47:08 Oh.
00:47:10 This is the new Lord Fauntleroy.
00:47:12 Fauntleroy, this is Mr. Mordant, rector of the parish.
00:47:15 I'm very glad to make your acquaintance, sir.
00:47:17 I'm delighted to make your acquaintance, Lord Fauntleroy.
00:47:20 Well, what is it this morning, Mordant?
00:47:22 Who's in trouble now?
00:47:24 It's one of your tenants, Mordant.
00:47:26 He gives a wretched farce.
00:47:27 Lewis has told him that if he doesn't pay the rent, he must leave the place.
00:47:31 The bad tenant.
00:47:33 Always behind, you tell me.
00:47:35 He's devoted to his wife and children.
00:47:37 If the farm is taken from him, they may literally starve.
00:47:41 Just like Michael.
00:47:44 Oh.
00:47:46 Forgot we had a philanthropist here.
00:47:50 Come here.
00:47:54 What will you do in this case?
00:47:56 Well, if I were very rich, I should let him stay and give him things for his children.
00:48:00 Nonsense.
00:48:01 You're Lord Fauntleroy.
00:48:03 Time you learned to deal with these situations.
00:48:06 You can write, can't you?
00:48:08 Yes, but not very well.
00:48:10 Well, go over to the desk and write me with his orders.
00:48:18 Now, what must I say?
00:48:20 You must say...
00:48:23 What begins is not to be interfered with for the present.
00:48:33 And sign it, Fauntleroy.
00:48:40 Do you think it will do?
00:48:51 Yes.
00:48:53 Higgins will find it entirely satisfactory.
00:48:56 Mr. Hobbs always signs his letters that way, and I thought I'd better say please.
00:49:01 Is that exactly the right way to spell interfered?
00:49:05 Well, it's not exactly the way it's spelled in the dictionary, but...
00:49:09 I was afraid of that.
00:49:11 No, Higgins won't complain of the spelling.
00:49:13 I think you must be the best person in the whole world.
00:49:16 Don't you, Mr. Mordrant?
00:49:19 I shall write and tell Mr. Hobbs.
00:49:22 Oh, and what will you tell him?
00:49:24 I shall tell him I think you're the kindest man I ever heard of.
00:49:27 That you're always thinking of other people and making them happy.
00:49:31 And...
00:49:36 And that I hope when I grow up I shall be just like you.
00:49:40 Just like me.
00:49:44 There you are, Mordrant.
00:49:46 Say, Grandmere here.
00:49:47 I will indeed. This is good news.
00:49:49 Thank you, my lord.
00:49:50 Don't thank me. Thank Wanderer.
00:49:53 Thank you.
00:49:54 Goodbye, sir.
00:49:56 Goodbye.
00:50:04 May I go to see Dearest now?
00:50:06 I think she'll be waiting for me.
00:50:08 There's something for you to see in the stables first.
00:50:11 Ring the bell.
00:50:12 In the stables?
00:50:16 If you please.
00:50:18 I'm very much obliged.
00:50:20 But I think I'd better see it tomorrow.
00:50:23 She'll be expecting me all the time.
00:50:26 Very well. We'll order the carriage.
00:50:30 You don't care to see what's in the stables?
00:50:32 Oh, I do. I do.
00:50:35 Oh, it doesn't matter.
00:50:36 It's only a pony.
00:50:40 A pony?
00:50:41 Whose pony is it?
00:50:42 Yours.
00:50:44 Mine?
00:50:45 Yes.
00:50:47 Oh, I never thought I'd have a pony.
00:50:49 I never thought that.
00:50:51 How glad Dearest will be.
00:50:55 You give me everything, don't you?
00:50:58 Wouldn't you like to see it?
00:51:00 Of course I want to see it.
00:51:02 I want to see it so much I can hardly wait.
00:51:07 But I'm afraid there isn't time.
00:51:13 You must see your mother this afternoon.
00:51:15 You can't put it off till tomorrow.
00:51:18 Why, she's been thinking about me all morning.
00:51:21 And I've been thinking about her.
00:51:23 Oh, perhaps.
00:51:26 I'll ring the bell.
00:51:29 [music]
00:51:50 Let me give you your stick.
00:51:51 Just lean on me when you get out.
00:51:53 I'm not going to get out.
00:51:55 Not-- not to see Dearest?
00:51:58 Dearest will excuse me.
00:52:00 Go and tell her that not even your new pony
00:52:02 will keep you away.
00:52:09 She'll be disappointed.
00:52:11 She'll want to see you very much.
00:52:13 I'm afraid not.
00:52:15 The carriage will call for you as we come back.
00:52:18 Drive on, Jeffreys.
00:52:43 It's a shame.
00:52:44 Parted from his own mother.
00:52:47 The cook at Court Lodge was telling Sarah
00:52:49 she'd never have worked for a sweeter lady than Mrs. Errol.
00:52:53 A letter was written by the little gentleman his own self,
00:52:57 sighing with his name to him.
00:52:59 Hauntlegroy has loved his life.
00:53:03 The little sweetest.
00:53:05 Ay, that's the mother.
00:53:06 Pretty young thing, too.
00:53:10 Good morning, ma'am.
00:53:11 Good morning.
00:53:13 God bless you, ma'am.
00:53:15 Thank you.
00:53:18 Good morning, ma'am.
00:53:19 Good morning.
00:53:22 It is lordship coming to services.
00:53:25 That's a new notion.
00:53:33 They say even his gout's improving.
00:53:36 Look at the young lord.
00:53:37 He's Captain Cedric all over again.
00:53:40 Captain's daughter of a life.
00:53:45 How glad the people are to see you.
00:53:47 Take off your hat, Padre Roy.
00:53:48 They're bowing to you.
00:53:50 To me?
00:53:53 How do you do?
00:53:54 Good morning, ma'am.
00:53:57 God bless you, lordship.
00:53:59 Long life to you.
00:54:00 Thank you.

00:57:32 You miss your mother very much?
00:57:35 Yes, sir.
00:57:36 I miss her all the time.
00:57:40 You don't miss her, do you?
00:57:42 I don't know her.
00:57:45 I know.
00:57:46 And that's what makes me wonder.
00:57:48 She told me not to ask any questions, and I won't.
00:57:51 You see her almost every day, don't you?
00:57:54 Isn't that enough?
00:57:56 We used to see each other all the time.
00:57:59 And we could tell each other things without waiting.
00:58:02 Don't you ever forget about her?
00:58:04 No, sir.
00:58:05 Never.
00:58:07 I shouldn't forget about you, you know.
00:58:11 If I didn't live with you, I should think about you all the more.
00:58:21 On my word, I believe you would.
00:58:23 [music]
00:58:33 [music]
00:58:43 [music]
00:58:55 He is such a good Earl.
00:58:57 He reminds me of you.
00:58:59 He is a universal favorite.
00:59:03 Well, reminds me of you.
00:59:06 Think of that now.
00:59:08 He's known this Earl only a little while, and we...
00:59:11 we was lifetime acquaintances.
00:59:14 I don't know as I want him to be reminded of me by this Earl.
00:59:18 They've been using influence on him, I bet you.
00:59:20 You're right.
00:59:21 They got twisty ways, those aristocrats.
00:59:24 They'd wheel their little finger around your heart as soon as look at you.
00:59:27 All for their own purposes, mind.
00:59:30 It's a pity they're making an oil out of him.
00:59:32 Yeah.
00:59:34 He would have been a shining light in the grocery business.
00:59:38 A shining light.
00:59:40 Do you know any particulars about that stuff like castles and oils?
00:59:44 No, not much.
00:59:46 Except they're haughty and mean.
00:59:50 Sure is a Jim Dandy letter he wrote.
00:59:52 Almost as good as seeing him.
00:59:53 Only it ain't, of course.
00:59:55 Oh, he was a pom-daisy of a kid.
00:59:57 I bet you sometimes he wishes he was back here.
01:00:00 I do.
01:00:02 Lonely?
01:00:03 Oh, not so bad.
01:00:05 Where you living now?
01:00:07 Me and two other fellas, we got a room in a lodging house.
01:00:10 The other two fellas, they get drunk and fighting, but it's cheap.
01:00:13 Oh, that's no sort of a place for a lad like you to be living.
01:00:17 Now look here.
01:00:18 I got a clean, dry loft over my stable.
01:00:21 And there's an old bed you can have.
01:00:23 Why don't you come here and stay?
01:00:25 Won't cost you a cent.
01:00:27 Gee, you mean that, Mr. Hobbs?
01:00:29 Why, certainly I do.
01:00:30 Yahoo!
01:00:31 Gee, Mr. Hobbs talking about oils.
01:00:33 You ain't no oil, you're a prince.
01:00:36 Oh, sure.
01:00:37 I wonder whether he will have an American accent.
01:00:52 My dear, won't it be interesting if he has the dog called Eyebrow?
01:00:56 When do we see the mother?
01:00:59 I wonder if she's supposed to be kept in the background.
01:01:02 [laughter]
01:01:03 Well, Molly Newton, is this the boy?
01:01:09 Yes, Constantia, this is the boy.
01:01:11 Fonteroy, this is your great aunt, Lady Laurie Dale.
01:01:14 How do you do, great aunt?
01:01:15 How do you do, young man?
01:01:17 You're like your father.
01:01:19 I loved you more than most people in this wicked world.
01:01:22 Oh, did you know my father?
01:01:23 Know him?
01:01:24 Of course I did.
01:01:26 Oh, then you must be dearer.
01:01:27 She will enormously like to talk to you about him.
01:01:31 You see, I was the only one she could talk about him to who knew him.
01:01:35 But I was so small.
01:01:37 Yes, Fonteroy, this is your great uncle, Sir Harry Laurie Dale.
01:01:40 How do you do, sir?
01:01:41 Here are your bonded horses.
01:01:43 I confess to you, Constantia, that what you'll probably see for yourself,
01:01:48 there's a risk of my becoming rather an old fool about him.
01:01:51 Becoming?
01:01:52 By the way, the mother, what does she think of you?
01:01:57 I don't know.
01:01:58 I'm daft.
01:01:59 You must come over to Laura Dale Park one day and see us.
01:02:02 There's some mad new cocker puppies in the kennels.
01:02:05 You shall have your picture.
01:02:07 Oh, thank you very much indeed, uncle.
01:02:09 Only Dougal might be offended.
01:02:11 You see, he's very fond of me, and I really shouldn't like to hurt his feelings.
01:02:15 [laughs]
01:02:16 Hurt his feelings.
01:02:18 That's a good one.
01:02:19 You hear that, Conner?
01:02:20 Hurt his feelings.
01:02:21 [laughs]
01:02:22 This is Miss Herbert, Fonteroy.
01:02:26 I want you to be great friends with her.
01:02:28 How do you do?
01:02:29 Have you met Dougal?
01:02:31 He shakes hands beautifully.
01:02:33 Shake hands with Miss Herbert, Dougal.
01:02:35 [laughs]
01:02:36 He's a great friend of mine.
01:02:39 I like making friends, don't you?
01:02:41 Yes, I do.
01:02:42 May I be your friend?
01:02:44 And Dougal's.
01:02:45 Oh, yes, if you please.
01:02:47 I'll get a lumbago for it, Gil.
01:02:49 Better, I hope.
01:02:50 Thanks.
01:02:51 Much better.
01:02:53 I've known Dorian Claude as well as anyone could know him for five and thirty years.
01:02:58 And that's the first time he's ever bothered to inquire about my health.
01:03:02 Most extraordinary.
01:03:04 Ah, have you come here late?
01:03:08 What's kept you?
01:03:09 I beg your pardon, my lord.
01:03:10 I was detained by extraordinary news.
01:03:12 News?
01:03:13 What?
01:03:14 What news?
01:03:15 Not now, if you don't mind.
01:03:16 Later, my lord, later.

01:04:10 Thank you, my dear.
01:04:11 Thank you.
01:04:12 Do you like music?
01:04:14 Yes, I like it when you sing it.
01:04:16 [laughter]
01:04:18 Dear me, Lord Fauntleroy.
01:04:19 Why do you look at me so?
01:04:21 I was thinking how beautiful you are.
01:04:23 Oh, Fauntleroy, make the most of your time.
01:04:25 When you're old, you'll not have the courage to say that.
01:04:27 Nobody could help saying it.
01:04:29 Don't you think she's pretty, too?
01:04:31 We are not allowed to say what we think.
01:04:33 Lord Fauntleroy should say what he thinks.
01:04:35 I'm sure he thinks what he says.
01:04:37 I think you're prettier than anyone I ever saw, except here.
01:04:41 I think she is the prettiest person in the world.
01:04:44 I'm sure she is.
01:04:46 And I must tell her how kind you've been to me.
01:04:49 I never was at a party before, and I've enjoyed myself so much.
01:04:54 Oh, I beg your pardon.
01:04:57 [laughter]
01:04:59 [laughter]
01:05:01 Good night, little Lord Fauntleroy.
01:05:06 Sleep well.
01:05:08 [chatter]
01:05:10 Good night.
01:05:19 I'm glad you came.
01:05:21 [chatter]
01:05:23 Well, Hamisham, what in the world's the matter?
01:05:31 Something serious must have happened to make you behave like this.
01:05:34 What is it?
01:05:35 It's bad news.
01:05:37 The very worst of news, my lord.
01:05:39 I'm sorry I have to be the bearer of it.
01:05:42 Why do you look at the boy so?
01:05:45 To hang over him like a bird of ill omen.
01:05:47 [chatter]
01:05:49 Has it anything to do with Fauntleroy?
01:05:54 My lord, I waste no words.
01:05:56 My news has everything to do with him.
01:05:58 If we're to believe it, it's not Lord Fauntleroy who lies asleep before us,
01:06:02 but only the son of Captain Errol.
01:06:04 The present Lord Fauntleroy is the son of your boy, Bevis,
01:06:07 and at this moment is in a lodging house in London.
01:06:10 What do you mean?
01:06:12 No man!
01:06:14 [chatter]
01:06:17 It's a lie!
01:06:19 An abominable lie!
01:06:23 If it's a lie, it's painfully like the truth.
01:06:26 A woman came to my chambers this morning and told me that she married your son, Bevis,
01:06:32 in London 11 years ago.
01:06:34 She showed me the marriage certificate.
01:06:36 The child was born shortly after Bevis deserted her and was taken by her to America.
01:06:40 Stop! The woman's obviously an imposter.
01:06:42 Such a trumped-up fraud.
01:06:44 I'm afraid not, my lord. I saw the boy's birth certificate.
01:06:47 She's, I'm afraid, a very ignorant person,
01:06:51 but she's consulted a lawyer who advises her that her son is, of course,
01:06:55 Lord Fauntleroy and the rightful heir.
01:06:57 She demands that his claim be immediately acknowledged.
01:06:59 I'll protest this to the last!
01:07:02 I'll disown Bevis' boy!
01:07:04 I'll have nothing to do with him or his mother!
01:07:06 You can't disown him, my lord.
01:07:08 Nothing we can do can keep the eldest son's child from his inheritance.
01:07:12 Hm?
01:07:13 What would you say?
01:07:23 She's an ignorant, vulgar person, eh?
01:07:26 She can hardly spell her own name.
01:07:29 She's obviously uneducated and openly mercenary.
01:07:32 And I... I objected to his mother.
01:07:40 Nice words. It's retribution.
01:07:43 If anyone had ever told me I could be fond of a child,
01:07:49 I wouldn't have believed them.
01:07:51 I always detested you.
01:07:55 I owned more than most.
01:07:58 But I am fond of him.
01:08:01 And oddly enough, he's fond of me.
01:08:08 You know, Havisham, I'm not popular.
01:08:12 I never was.
01:08:14 But he's fond of me.
01:08:17 Never was afraid of me.
01:08:20 Always trusted me.
01:08:23 Yes, Havisham.
01:08:28 He'd have filled my place better than I filled it.
01:08:34 He'd have been an honor to the name.
01:08:38 You rang, my lord?
01:08:43 Take...
01:08:46 Take Lord Fauntleroy to his room.
01:08:51 [Music]
01:09:10 What a pity. The boy's a thoroughbred if ever there was one.
01:09:14 I suppose you may say it's a judgment on my...
01:09:17 That boy. The first human being he ever loved.
01:09:22 Will Morrownooks take the case to the courts, do you think?
01:09:25 Can't tell his obstinacy enough.
01:09:27 Courts are the devil. You go in with your best suit, buckles on your shoes,
01:09:31 and come out as nature made you.
01:09:33 Bless my soul, Constantia.
01:09:35 Whoever would have dreamed that I'd have felt sorry for the old boy?
01:09:38 I wouldn't have minded our having a boy like that, Harry.
01:09:41 Yes. Bit of luck for us, old girl, if we had.
01:09:46 I'll tell you one thing.
01:09:48 If his little lordship loses his title, the village loses the best train it has.
01:09:52 Aye, that's right. And I'll tell you another thing.
01:09:55 It'll drive the Earl mad if this goes wrong for him.
01:09:57 Why he's been so proud of the boy, you'd hardly believe it if you knew him for what he was before.
01:10:02 And the new one's no lady, that's sure.
01:10:05 Bold-faced thing, that's what she is.
01:10:07 The dark-eyed, brazen-faced wench.
01:10:10 Isio, come in now with Mr. Albertson.
01:10:14 Aye, sir.
01:10:16 You've someone here calling herself Lady Ponderoy. I want to see her.
01:10:23 Aye, come this way, my lord. This way, my lord.
01:10:26 Come in.
01:10:32 Earl of Darrington.
01:10:41 Please to meet you, I'm sure, my lord.
01:10:44 Bevenice.
01:10:53 Go shake hands with your grandpa.
01:11:03 Go shake hands with your grandpa.
01:11:06 So that's the way you're going to treat your grandson, is it?
01:11:25 You needn't try to look so fierce about it. He's your grandson, all right.
01:11:29 Yes, my lord. We have proof of the young gentleman's birth.
01:11:32 He is the son of the late Lord Ponderoy.
01:11:35 Allow me to introduce himself. Joshua Snade, at your service.
01:11:39 My card.
01:11:41 I've already had the pleasure of making Mr. Havisham's acquaintance.
01:11:46 Lady Ponderoy has placed all the evidence in my hands.
01:11:50 I can assure you, my lord, it is sufficient to justify her case should it come into court.
01:11:54 But may I suggest that we come to an arrangement and settle this matter amicably on a friendly basis?
01:12:02 Friendly? Ha! Look at him staring at me as though I was dirt. Me, his own daughter-in-law.
01:12:07 Oh, your son Bevis married me, all right. A fine rotter he was.
01:12:11 But he was the father of my boy, and I can prove it.
01:12:13 Lady Ponderoy, please.
01:12:14 You may think you can fight me, but a lot of good it'll do you.
01:12:17 They don't love you around here, and you know it.
01:12:19 I've heard plenty about you and your dirty, snobbish pride.
01:12:22 Plenty of pride you'll have when I'm finished with you.
01:12:25 Unless you want to climb down off your high horse and get reasonable with your own flesh and blood.
01:12:29 Lady Ponderoy, I'll be...
01:12:30 You shut up! I'll stop at nothing, do you hear?
01:12:32 I'll drag this case through every court in the land.
01:12:34 I'll let the whole world know what you are.
01:12:36 You and your precious son, Bevis.
01:12:39 Deserting me and his own child. A babe in arms.
01:12:43 How I've suffered, heaven only knows.
01:12:46 And you standing there looking at me and my boy as if we were scum.
01:12:49 You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
01:12:52 You say you married my ill-rested son.
01:12:54 If that's proved to be true, the law's on your side.
01:12:58 In that case, your son will be Lord Potteroy, and you will be provided for.
01:13:04 But I warn you, the matter will be sifted to the very bottom.
01:13:09 I'll only add that I want to see nothing of you or your boy as long as I live.
01:13:15 After my death, you can, unfortunately, do as you please.
01:13:22 Yes, you're exactly the kind of person that I should have expected my son, Bevis, to choose.
01:13:30 I'm afraid, Your Inquiry, there can be no two opinions.
01:13:43 At least, that's how I see it. You agree, Semple?
01:13:46 Yes, I'm afraid we can see it no other way.
01:13:49 But it's... it's monstrous!
01:13:52 That woman, that boy, are utterly unfit!
01:13:56 Alas, the law can take no conscience of such things.
01:13:59 I sympathize, darling, more than I can say.
01:14:02 Sympathize? What's the use of that?
01:14:04 If we take it to the courts, you think there can be only one resultant.
01:14:08 I'm afraid so. The birth certificate, everything we have, points the same way.
01:14:12 If we take it to the courts, you'll have the expense and the notoriety, and only, I fear, one possible result.
01:14:19 Perhaps the boy won't turn out so badly as you fear.
01:14:22 Perhaps you can do something with him.
01:14:24 That boy? That? Oh!
01:14:27 Who's the other one?
01:14:36 Yes.
01:14:40 I have no other cause but to accept your judgment.
01:14:45 Come, have a drink with us. And you, Mr. Semple.
01:14:49 It's the Earl, ma'am! The Earl himself!
01:15:02 Show him in.
01:15:05 Come.
01:15:07 Mrs. Errol, I believe?
01:15:26 Yes, I'm Mrs. Errol.
01:15:28 I'm Lord Dollencourt.
01:15:30 The boy is very like you.
01:15:34 You have often said so. I'm glad to think he's like his father, too.
01:15:38 Yes, he is. Like my son.
01:15:41 Won't you sit down?
01:15:44 Thank you.
01:15:46 I've come to tell you that I've had the very best, the highest legal opinion.
01:15:57 I'm sorry. This outrageous woman and her child!
01:16:02 Perhaps she cares for him as much as I care for Ceddy, Lord.
01:16:06 Her son is Lord Fortleroy. Mine's not.
01:16:09 Yes, I'm afraid you're right.
01:16:13 Perhaps you would prefer that Ceddy should not be the Earl of Dollencourt.
01:16:18 It's a very magnificent thing to be the Earl of Dollencourt, my Lord. I know that.
01:16:24 But all I care about is that Ceddy should be what his father was.
01:16:28 Great, just, and kind, always.
01:16:32 A striking contrast to what his grandfather is, eh?
01:16:37 I haven't had the pleasure of knowing his grandfather.
01:16:40 I know my little boy believes.
01:16:43 I know that Ceddy loves you.
01:16:46 Would he have loved me if you told him why I didn't receive you at the castle?
01:16:51 No. Honestly, I think not.
01:16:55 That's why I didn't wish him to know.
01:16:58 Well...
01:17:00 There's very few women who wouldn't have told him.
01:17:04 Yes. Ceddy is fond of me.
01:17:11 And I'm fond of him.
01:17:16 I can't say...
01:17:19 I was ever fond of anyone before.
01:17:23 But he pleased me from the first.
01:17:27 I'm an old man, and I was tired of midnight.
01:17:31 But he has given me something to live for.
01:17:34 More than that.
01:17:36 More than that.
01:17:38 I am proud of him.
01:17:41 I was satisfied to think that one day...
01:17:44 he'd be taking my place.
01:17:47 As head of the family.
01:17:51 I'm miserable.
01:17:54 Miserable.
01:17:58 Please sit down.
01:18:08 You've been so much trouble, you must be tired.
01:18:11 And you need all your strength.
01:18:14 Thank you.
01:18:17 Perhaps it's because I'm miserable...
01:18:20 that I've come to you.
01:18:23 I used to hate you.
01:18:26 I've been jealous of you.
01:18:28 This wretched, disgraceful business has changed all that.
01:18:32 And after seeing such a repulsive woman who...
01:18:36 Well, I felt it would be a relief to come to you.
01:18:40 I'm sorry.
01:18:42 Well, I felt it would be a relief to come to you.
01:18:46 I'm an absolute old fool, I suppose.
01:18:53 I know.
01:18:58 I've treated you badly.
01:19:01 But I've come to you because the boy cares for you.
01:19:05 And because I care for you.
01:19:10 Treat me as well as you can.
01:19:13 For the boy's sake.
01:19:16 Whatever happens, he shall be provided for.
01:19:31 Eddie shall be taken care of in our home and in the future.
01:19:35 Always.
01:19:36 Thank you.
01:19:39 You like the house?
01:19:42 Oh, very much.
01:19:44 It's a cheerful room.
01:19:47 May I come back again...
01:19:53 and talk this matter over?
01:19:55 As often as you wish.
01:19:58 As often as you wish.
01:20:01 You've heard bad news, haven't you?
01:20:24 Yes.
01:20:25 The worst.
01:20:27 And I'm not Lord Fauntleroy anymore, am I?
01:20:32 No.
01:20:33 She's beaten me.
01:20:36 Then the other boy...
01:20:39 he will have to be your boy now, won't he?
01:20:43 Like I was?
01:20:44 No!
01:20:45 He'll have to live in the castle as he's Lord Fauntleroy, won't he?
01:20:49 That common little brat shall never enter this place in my lifetime.
01:20:52 I'll take care of that.
01:20:54 Then I can still be your boy...
01:20:57 even if I'm not going to be the Earl...
01:21:00 just like I was before?
01:21:02 My boy.
01:21:04 Yes, you'll be my boy as long as I live.
01:21:08 And by Jove...
01:21:12 sometimes I think you're the only boy I've ever had.
01:21:15 Then I don't care about the Earl Parthen at all.
01:21:19 I thought, you see...
01:21:21 that the one that was going to be the Earl...
01:21:24 had to be your boy...
01:21:26 and that I couldn't be.
01:21:29 She'll never take anything from you that I can hold for you.
01:21:32 Come what may...
01:21:34 you shall have all that I can give.
01:21:36 All.
01:21:37 And dearest...
01:21:39 will her house be taken away from her?
01:21:42 No.
01:21:43 They can take nothing from her.
01:21:46 Nothing from either of you.
01:21:50 Come, come, come, come, come.
01:21:53 Time you were asleep.
01:21:56 [Music]
01:21:59 [Music]
01:22:26 Good night, Grandfather.
01:22:29 Good night, my boy.
01:22:32 The aged Earl remains secluded in his castle...
01:22:43 and refuses to have any communication with the rightful heir.
01:22:47 Ah, we know that, Doc.
01:22:48 They've been printing that for the past week.
01:22:50 Is there anything new about Setty?
01:22:52 Yes, here it says...
01:22:54 "The prospects do not look very bright...
01:22:57 for the false claimant, Cedric Earle of Brooklyn."
01:23:01 Oh, I'm jiggered.
01:23:04 At last they've succeeded in robbing him out of being an Earl.
01:23:11 I thought you was against Earl.
01:23:13 So I am.
01:23:15 Ain't it just like him...
01:23:17 cheating the poor kid out of his rightful estates?
01:23:20 Now what's going to become of him?
01:23:22 I know one thing. He's done everything in a whale for me...
01:23:24 and he can always come back here and have half of my shoe-shining business.
01:23:27 Well, now I'll tell you, Dick.
01:23:30 I'd always had it in my mind that...
01:23:32 Setty would come in with me some day.
01:23:35 He'd be a shining light in the grocer business.
01:23:38 The new lady, Fauntleroy, was formerly an actress.
01:23:43 She is said to have played in New York and London.
01:23:47 Continue down page five.
01:23:50 Here's a picture of her.
01:23:53 Holy mackerel!
01:23:59 What's the matter?
01:24:00 Here, look at this. It's her.
01:24:01 Her?
01:24:02 She ain't no aristocrat, she ain't.
01:24:04 I know her as good as I know you.
01:24:05 It's Minna, Ben's wife.
01:24:06 Your brother?
01:24:07 Sure.
01:24:08 You mean it's some kind of hocus-pocus?
01:24:09 Sure I do.
01:24:10 Well, I'm jiggered.
01:24:12 She was married before, but I never heard of her having no other kid but Ben's kid.
01:24:15 You mean the one Ben went out to Chicago to look for?
01:24:17 Sure.
01:24:18 Maybe she had another kid in England.
01:24:20 Maybe she did and maybe she didn't.
01:24:22 We ought to do something about this.
01:24:23 You're dead right we ought to.
01:24:25 But we've got to get the proper advice.
01:24:27 Gee, I wish I knew Alderman Murphy.
01:24:30 I know Alderman Murphy.
01:24:32 You do?
01:24:33 Yeah, come along. Let's go right now.
01:24:35 Them Earls, they've always had a spite against us Americans ever since the Revolution.
01:24:40 What a place.
01:24:44 What a hole.
01:24:47 I'm sick to death of it.
01:24:49 Cooped up here, week in and week out with nobody to talk to.
01:24:53 You're complimentary.
01:24:54 I wasn't meaning to be.
01:24:55 I'm grateful.
01:24:56 You're getting your money, aren't you?
01:24:57 Business is business, you know.
01:24:59 Business. I'm sick of business.
01:25:01 I want some fun.
01:25:02 Why don't you go up to London for a while?
01:25:04 London?
01:25:05 Not on your tin pipe.
01:25:07 Nothing but please that old devil up at the castle better than to see me clear out.
01:25:11 Well, I'll stay here, here in this rotten country pub.
01:25:15 You've lived in worse places in your time, I've no doubt.
01:25:18 That's none of your business.
01:25:20 You keep a civil tongue in your head or I'll hand you your walking papers.
01:25:22 I wouldn't.
01:25:24 What do you mean?
01:25:26 Just what I said.
01:25:28 I wouldn't try anything like that, Minna.
01:25:31 I'm Lady Fauntleroy to you.
01:25:34 Uh-huh.
01:25:35 Come in.
01:25:38 Why, it's Lord Stone.
01:25:44 Why, this is a pleasure, a real pleasure, I'm sure.
01:25:47 Won't you take a...
01:25:49 Hello, Minna.
01:25:52 Hi. Hello, Dick.
01:25:54 Hi, Ben.
01:26:05 What are you doing here?
01:26:07 Where have you been all this time?
01:26:09 You knew her?
01:26:11 Funny as he didn't, seeing as how he was my second husband.
01:26:14 Where is the child?
01:26:15 What child?
01:26:16 You know what child, our boy Tom.
01:26:18 Oh, Ben.
01:26:20 But you know.
01:26:21 You must have heard.
01:26:23 Someone must have told you.
01:26:25 I meant to write you but I didn't know where you were.
01:26:28 If that's true, who is this boy you've got with you?
01:26:31 That's none of your business, Ben Tipton.
01:26:33 Can I see him?
01:26:35 No, you can't.
01:26:36 Tell us please why Mr. Tipton should not see your boy.
01:26:40 Oh, hello, good Dick.
01:26:42 Well, I'll be digging.
01:26:45 Oh, look, I'm tired.
01:26:48 You're a dirty pair you are.
01:26:50 Coming all this way to spy on me, trying to do me hurt.
01:26:52 I'll have the law on you for the way you're hounding me.
01:26:54 You, you.
01:26:56 Hurry up.
01:26:57 Come here, Tom.
01:27:07 I knew nothing of it, my lord, I assure you.
01:27:09 There's a little matter of a forged birth certificate.
01:27:12 But I swear to you.
01:27:14 Never mind, Havisham.
01:27:15 I've had enough of this.
01:27:16 Too much.
01:27:17 The sooner the pair of you are out of this country, the better.
01:27:19 Come on, Havisham.
01:27:20 You'll be sorry for this, you will.
01:27:22 It's prosecution, that's what it is.
01:27:23 It's robbery.
01:27:25 It's prosecution, that's what it is.
01:27:26 It's robbery.
01:27:28 [rain falling]
01:27:31 [rain falling]
01:27:33 This will be somewhat in the manner of a museum, my lord.
01:27:59 Well, not exactly a museum, Mr. Harvest.
01:28:01 They're portraits of my ancestors.
01:28:04 Your ancestors?
01:28:06 All of them?
01:28:07 I'll be jiggy.
01:28:09 Your great uncle.
01:28:11 He must have had a family.
01:28:13 Did he raise them all?
01:28:14 I mean that they were earlier distinguished members of the family.
01:28:18 You know, Earl, I used to have a very poor opinion of you aristocracy.
01:28:24 But I've changed.
01:28:26 I'll take you for instance.
01:28:27 You're a pretty good sort even if you are an Earl.
01:28:30 I'm very gratified.
01:28:31 Bit gay, wasn't he?
01:28:37 Yes.
01:28:38 That's why I have the gout, Mr. Harvest.
01:28:40 Oh.
01:28:43 And it was all Earl.
01:28:47 He said he's going to be one.
01:28:49 And all this.
01:28:51 And he'll be worthy of it, Mr. Harvest.
01:28:53 Sure he will.
01:28:56 All these Earls.
01:28:58 You know, I wouldn't have minded being one myself.
01:29:03 Thank you very much.
01:29:14 It's such a lovely day.
01:29:16 I always like having birthdays.
01:29:19 But never one so much as this because you're all so kind to me.
01:29:23 My grandfather wants everybody to be happy and comfortable.
01:29:26 Now I want it too when I'm grown up.
01:29:28 I think that's all because I'm not very good at making speeches.
01:29:35 But I must say that I'm very much obliged to you for liking my birthday.
01:29:40 Ripping little nip-arm.
01:29:45 Ain't he a daisy?
01:29:47 I'll bet you boys will let him king someday.
01:29:52 I didn't know the little fella could talk so good.
01:29:54 Why, he makes a better speech than Alderman Murphy.
01:29:57 By Jove.
01:29:58 Well, I'll be jiggered.
01:30:01 And I have another birthday present for you.
01:30:04 Another one besides all the things this morning?
01:30:06 Yes.
01:30:07 The best of them all.
01:30:09 Oh, dearest!
01:30:13 Oh, dearest!
01:30:15 Oh, dearest, I was wanting you here.
01:30:21 I was wanting you here so terribly much.
01:30:23 Where are you, darling?
01:30:24 Ponderoy, your mother has come to live with us in the castle.
01:30:28 To live with us? To live with us for always?
01:30:31 Are you sure you really want this?
01:30:32 We've always wanted you.
01:30:34 But we weren't exactly aware of it.
01:30:36 Well, Mr. Hobbs, it's so nice having you here with us.
01:30:41 I dread to think of you ever going back to America.
01:30:44 Not to live there.
01:30:45 Not to live there.
01:30:46 America's a good enough country for them that's young and stern.
01:30:50 But there's faults in it.
01:30:51 There's not an aunt, sister, or mother.
01:30:53 Nor an Earl.
