:10:00
Rather, I beg your pardon, Major Dobbin,
since better men than you are dead...
:10:04
and you've stepped
into their shoes.
Better men are dead.
:10:07
I wish to speak of one.
Make it short, sir.
:10:09
You are aware his widow
has been left a pauper.
:10:12
I do not know his widow.
Nor wish to.
:10:14
And what of his child?
:10:18
Will you not wish to know that?
:10:22
It's just another consequence
of George's disobedience and folly.
:10:29
She would have me give you this.
If it's a message from that woman,
I do not wish to read it.
:10:32
It is a message from your son, sir.
:10:36
She has carried it for you
from that day to this.
:10:47
"Forgive me if you can.
:10:49
"And try to remember
your loving and grateful son.
:10:52
George. '"
Georgy!
:10:56
My boy!
:10:59
My darling boy!
:11:11
- Isn't he an angel?
- An angel.
:11:15
When George died I thought,
:11:17
I will never have room in my heart
for anyone else.
:11:23
We weren't expecting you today.
:11:33
I've come to tell you
I've put in for a transfer.
:11:37
- I embark next week for Bombay.
- Bombay?
:11:42
Heavens. Why Bombay?
:11:44
Because it is as far away
from here as I could manage.
:11:49
I see.
:11:53
But I will resign my commission,
and I will stay in England...
:11:59
- if you ask me to.
- If I ask you to?
