:03:02
How awfully funny.
:03:04
What is wrong with that, young man?
I bet I got it right.
:03:07
Smashing.
:03:09
Has it suddenly turned chilly?
:03:11
I do hope we won't have
any unseasonable cold spells.
:03:15
They bring on so much influenza.
:03:17
And the whole of our family
is susceptible to it.
:03:20
My aunt died of influenza, so they said.
:03:24
But it's my belief they done
the old woman in.
:03:29
Done her in?
:03:31
Yes, Lord love you.
:03:33
Why should she die of influenza...
:03:35
...when she'd come through diphtheria
right enough the year before.
:03:39
Fairly blue with it she was.
:03:42
They all thought she was dead.
:03:44
But my father, he kept ladling gin
down her throat.
:03:52
Then she come to so sudden
she bit the bowl off the spoon.
:03:58
Dear me!
:04:00
Now what call would a woman
with that strength in her...
:04:04
...have to die of influenza?
:04:06
And what become of her new straw hat
that should have come to me?
:04:13
Somebody pinched it.
:04:16
And what I say is:
:04:18
Them 'as pinched it, done her in.
:04:22
Done her in? "Done her in," did you say?
:04:25
Whatever does it mean?
:04:27
That's the new small talk.
"To do somebody in" means to kill them.
:04:32
But you surely don't believe
your aunt was killed?
:04:36
Do I not?
:04:37
Them she lived with would have killed her
for a hatpin, let alone a hat.
:04:42
But it can't have been right
for your father...
:04:45
...to pour spirits down her throat like that.
:04:48
It might have killed her.
:04:49
Not her. Gin was mother's milk to her.
:04:53
Besides, he poured so much down
his own throat he knew the good of it.
:04:59
Do you mean that he drank?
