:07:02
Please, Mr. Nickleby, do you wish my father
to go to debtor's prison?

:07:05
Where your father sleeps, Miss Bray,
is of no concern to me.

:07:09
Father tells me the interest
is what makes the debt so unmanageable.

:07:12
- Could you not stop it?
- Tell him...

:07:14
to repay the loan.
That will stop the interest right away.

:07:36
You must bear up against sorrow, ma'am.
:07:40
I always do.
:07:41
Mine was no common loss.
:07:44
It was no uncommon loss.
:07:47
Husbands die every day.
:07:51
And wives.
:07:52
Brothers also.
:07:54
Yes, and puppies, too.
:07:57
Ma'am, you did not mention
what my brother's complaint was.

:08:00
We feel he died of a broken heart.
:08:04
Pooh, there's no such thing.
:08:06
Indeed, if you have no heart to break.
:08:10
In your letter, you said
the creditors had administered...

:08:13
and nothing was left for you?
:08:15
We tried to sell the house...
:08:17
but no one seemed to want
a little home like ours.

:08:20
So you spent what little remained
coming all the way to London...

:08:23
to see what I could do for you?
:08:27
It was your brother's dying wish...
:08:29
that you might do something
for his children.

:08:32
How is it, when a man dies
without property of his own...

:08:34
he thinks he has the right
to dispose of others'?

:08:37
What a feckless, inconsiderate man.
:08:39
Our father, your brother, had a noble heart.
:08:43
Which beats no more.
:08:46
You, girl...
:08:48
you haven't been brought up
too delicately...

:08:50
to apprentice at some boarding school,
have you?

:08:53
Uncle...
:08:55
I will try to do anything
to gain me a home and bread.
