Mrs. Nolan, l feel
1:59:09
that there's no disrespect in
my speaking my mind at this time.

1:59:13
And l feel that a decent time has
elapsed since the passing of

1:59:19
Mrs. McShane, God rest her soul.
1:59:24
Oh, l didn't know, Mr. McShane,
l'm sorry.

1:59:27
Well, l said nothing, Mrs. Nolan,
1:59:29
because it was near the time
of your own bereavement.

1:59:31
And l didn't wish to...
1:59:33
Well, l know that is barely six
months since your own husband too,

1:59:38
left this world, rest his soul.
1:59:43
But, when you feel, a decent
interval has elapsed,

1:59:47
l'm asking to keep company with you,
Catherine Nolan,

1:59:51
with the object of a wedding,
when a decent time has elapsed.

1:59:59
And for my part, l'll be glad to
keep company with you, Mr. McShane,

2:00:04
not for the help you can give us,
because

2:00:07
we know we can manage some way,
but,

2:00:12
because you're a good man,
Mr. McShane.

2:00:21
Ah, and there's ah, there's one more
thing. Their father was a fine man.

2:00:29
And l'd have no wish to be trying
take his place.

2:00:33
lt would be more my intention to be
like a real good friend.

2:00:41
As the eldest, would you be
approving?

2:00:47
Yes, Mr. McShane.
2:00:53
l was thinking, it wouldn't be right
for me to ask the two eldest to

2:00:58
take my name.
2:00:59
But the little one, the one who has
never looked on her father.
