1:25:01
They all thought she was dead.
1:25:03
But my father, he kept ladling gin
down her throat.

1:25:12
Then she come to so sudden
she bit the bowl off the spoon.

1:25:17
Dear me!
1:25:20
Now what call would a woman
with that strength in her...

1:25:23
...have to die of influenza?
1:25:25
And what become of her new straw hat
that should have come to me?

1:25:32
Somebody pinched it.
1:25:35
And what I say is:
1:25:37
Them 'as pinched it, done her in.
1:25:41
Done her in? "Done her in", did you say?
1:25:45
Whatever does it mean?
1:25:46
That's the new small talk.
"To do somebody in" means to kill them.

1:25:51
But you surely don't believe
your aunt was killed?

1:25:55
Do I not?
1:25:56
Them she lived with would have killed her
for a hatpin, let alone a hat.

1:26:01
But it can't have been right
for your father...

1:26:04
...to pour spirits down her throat like that.
1:26:07
It might have killed her.
1:26:09
Not her. Gin was mother's milk to her.
1:26:13
Besides, he poured so much down
his own throat he knew the good of it.

1:26:18
Do you mean that he drank?
1:26:20
Drank? My word. Something chronic.
1:26:26
Here, what are you sniggering at?
1:26:30
The new small talk.
You do it so awfully well.

1:26:33
Well, if I was doing it proper,
what was you sniggering at?

1:26:38
Have I said anything I oughtn't?
1:26:42
Not at all, my dear.
1:26:43
Well, that's a mercy anyhow.
1:26:48
I don't know if there's time
before the next race to place a bet...

1:26:52
...but come, my dear.
1:26:54
I have a bet on number seven.
I should be so happy if you would take it.

1:26:57
You'll enjoy the race ever so much more.
1:26:59
That's very kind of you.
