One of our lads had an abscess last week.
:13:08
To see her operate on him with a penknife.
:13:12
And you? Have you recovered
from that scoundrel's attack?
:13:15
Only just.
:13:16
Your nephew is a vicious animal.
:13:19
That is why I asked you to come.
:13:22
Noggs...
:13:23
- See this package?
- It's big enough.
:13:25
Take it, please, at once.
:13:28
"Take it, please, at once."
:13:31
"At once, do you hear? If not sooner."
:13:37
He may be a little mad.
:13:40
I wanted to offer you...
:13:44
this as a recompense...
:13:47
to your troubles, though...
:13:50
it seems foolish...
:13:52
if the boy is unpunished.
:13:54
He might come after you again.
:13:56
Surely he's been punished by you.
:13:58
Our ties have been cut.
:13:59
I'm not sure
that he views that as a punishment.
:14:04
What about the other boy?
:14:06
- Smike?
- Yes.
:14:09
You said that my nephew
was quite attached to him.
:14:13
What do you know of him?
:14:15
Only that he came to us 12 or so years ago.
:14:18
The money was paid at first,
and then it stopped.
:14:22
But I kept the lad out of charity...
:14:25
which coincided with a period
of usefulness on his part.
:14:28
- No parents then?
- No.
:14:30
- No person with any claim on him?
- No.
:14:34
So he's yours.
:14:36
And he's been stolen.
:14:37
Would it not be well within your rights
to take him?
:14:40
That would settle your score
with my nephew.
:14:43
Wounding him, not through force...
:14:48
but through his own affections.
:14:52
Capturing wayward boys
is something of a specialty.
:14:58
It's most kind of you
to join me on my errands.
