:02:34
What happens when the light first pierces...
:02:36
the dark dampness
in which we have waited?
:02:40
We are slapped and cut loose.
:02:45
If we are lucky,
someone is there to catch us...
:02:49
and persuade us that we are safe.
:02:54
But are we safe?
:02:56
What happens if, too early,
we lose a parent?
:03:01
That party on whom we rely
for only everything?
:03:06
Why, we are cut loose again...
:03:09
and we wonder, even dread...
:03:13
whose hands will catch us now.
:03:21
There once lived a man
named Nicholas Nickleby.
:03:25
Unambitious in business...
:03:26
he devoted himself
to the happiness of his family.
:03:30
But he is not the Nicholas Nickleby
you have come to hear about.
:03:35
That Nicholas Nickleby is here.
:03:39
And here.
:03:43
And here.
:03:44
- Said your prayers?
- Yes.
:03:47
I prayed that I should have this day...
:03:49
the same day we had today,
all the rest of my life.
:03:53
But someday you will find someone
who will have...
:03:56
a greater hold on your affections than I do.
