Cue-sheet for Mrs Morgan

 
(1, 0) 22 Is Mrs. Evans in please?
(Mrs Evans) {With a gesture of irritation.}
 
(Voice) In the bakehouse she is, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 28 Oh!
(1, 0) 29 Thank you.
(Mrs Evans) Dewch mewn!
 
(Mrs Evans) Dewch mewn!
(1, 0) 33 Oh, Mrs. Evans─
(Mrs Evans) It's you, Mrs. Morgan, is it?
 
(1, 0) 44 Is it─is it ready yet, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) Ready?
 
(Mrs Evans) It will take nearly another hour yet.
(1, 0) 48 Another hour?
(1, 0) 49 I was thinking, Mrs. Evans, p'raps─
(Mrs Evans) {Looking at clock.}
 
(1, 0) 56 Mrs. Evans─
(1, 0) 57 P'raps you─would you mind just having a look to see how it's getting on?
(Mrs Evans) {Surprised.}
 
(1, 0) 62 Oh!
(1, 0) 63 I didn't know.
(Mrs Evans) And you didn't mark your two loaves either, Mrs. Morgan─
 
(Mrs Evans) And you didn't mark your two loaves either, Mrs. Morgan─
(1, 0) 65 Mark them?
(Mrs Evans) {Coming forward.}
 
(Mrs Evans) Put on a bit of a pattern or p'raps stick your initials in with a fork, so as to know them when they come out.
(1, 0) 69 Oh dear, dear!
(1, 0) 70 I didn't think.
(1, 0) 71 Does it matter?
(Mrs Evans) I've put them in the corner by the wall.
 
(Mrs Evans) It's your first bread, I suppose, Mrs. Morgan?
(1, 0) 75 Yes.
(1, 0) 76 My husband always had it home-made before we got married; so I─so I thought I'd try.
(Mrs Evans) Quite right, too, Mrs. Morgan.
 
(Mrs Evans) If the angels in Heaven started baking to-morrow, they couldn't make a lighter crust than Mary Ann Howells's!
(1, 0) 83 You didn't happen to notice the dough when you put it in?
 
(1, 0) 85 Did it─did it look as if it ever would be bread, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) Well, yn y wir now, I was so busy I didn't pay much notice.
 
(Mrs Evans) Well, yn y wir now, I was so busy I didn't pay much notice.
(1, 0) 87 My husband is so fond of home-made bread, Mrs. Evans.
(1, 0) 88 But of course, being brought up in the millinery─
(Mrs Evans) Yes, yes.
 
(Mrs Evans) You've been married nearly a month now?
(1, 0) 95 A month next Monday, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Evans) Well, mawredd, how time goes to be sure!
 
(Mrs Evans) And you went away for a week didn't you?
(1, 0) 98 Ten days, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Evans) To the Mumbles, wasn't it?
 
(Mrs Evans) Mrs. Jones Shop Flannel was telling me.
(1, 0) 101 Yes, to the Mumbles.
(1, 0) 102 He's very fond of the seaside is my husband.
(Mrs Evans) I went so far as the Mumbles once myself.
 
(1, 0) 111 Have you buried him long, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) {Pathelically.}
 
(Mrs Evans) Poor Yanto now was more worldly.
(1, 0) 119 You've had an awful lot of trouble, Mrs. Evans, losing both of them like that.
(Mrs Evans) A lot of trouble, Mrs. Morgan fach─a lot of trouble.
 
(Mrs Evans) If I was you, Mrs. Morgan, I'd have one done of your Davy──
(1, 0) 128 Plenty of time to think of that, I hope, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Evans) I hope so, indeed.
 
(Mrs Evans) And very nice parlours you've got in Tredegar Terrace, too, there's no denying.
(1, 0) 133 Oh, yes!
(1, 0) 134 We're very comfortable, I'm sure.
(Mrs Evans) You're settling down on the Twmp here now, Mrs. Morgan, no doubt?
 
(Mrs Evans) Bit strange at first, I suppose, after being down there in the Paris House in Dyffryn Street?
(1, 0) 137 We're getting on very well, thank you, Mrs. Evans.
 
(1, 0) 139 But I must say there are some people who might find something better to do than running down their neighbours─
(Mrs Evans) {Consolingly.}
 
(Mrs Evans) But after all, Mrs. Morgan, there's very few pay any real attention to Mrs. Richards the Checkweigher─
(1, 0) 142 Oh!
(1, 0) 143 I don't want to mention any names, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Evans) No, no!
 
(1, 0) 150 I'm sure I've got no grudge against Miss Richards.
(Mrs Evans) Well no!
 
(1, 0) 156 Are they baking here with you, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) Oh, yes!
 
(Mrs Evans) They've got their bread in to-night.
(1, 0) 159 To-night?
(1, 0) 160 Will they be coming here then, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) Mrs. Richards, or else Jinnie, or p'raps both.
 
(1, 0) 164 Jinnie Richards makes very good bread, of course?
(Mrs Evans) Oh!
 
(Mrs Evans) Pretty fair indeed!
(1, 0) 168 What time do they come, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Evans) It all depends.
 
(1, 0) 172 D'you think, Mrs. Evans─as a favour─you could take my two loaves out first?
(Mrs Evans) But they're far in─close to the wall.
 
(Mrs Evans) Didn't I tell you?
(1, 0) 175 And ten o'clock is the earliest possible.
(1, 0) 176 You couldn't just─
(Mrs Evans) Ten o'clock sharp!
 
(1, 0) 179 I'll be back just before ten then.
(Mrs Evans) Dyna fe.
 
(Mrs Howells) Noswath dda, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 190 Good night, Mrs. Howells.
 
(Mrs Howells) It's Mrs. Morgan!
(1, 0) 332 I thought it might be ready now, Mrs. Evans─
(Mrs Evans) But, mawredd, Mrs. Morgans fach, it's only twenty-five to ten.
 
(Mrs Evans) But, mawredd, Mrs. Morgans fach, it's only twenty-five to ten.
(1, 0) 334 That's all?
(1, 0) 335 But, Mrs. Evans, couldn't you just look?
(Mrs Howells) {Kindly.}
 
(1, 0) 340 Well, in a way, yes.
(1, 0) 341 My husband is very fond of home-made, Mrs. Howells.
(Mrs Evans) Shows his good sense, Mrs. Morgan.
 
(Mrs Evans) Shows his good sense, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 343 And of course, it's a woman's business to get her husband everything he wants.
(Mrs Howells) {Smiling.}
 
(Mrs Howells) Er─how long did you say you'd been married?
(1, 0) 346 Nearly a month.
 
(1, 0) 348 I─I─you're making fun, Mrs. Howells.
 
(Mrs Howells) But it isn't a woman's business to get her husband everything he wants.
(1, 0) 352 No?
(1, 0) 353 What is it then?
(Mrs Howells) {Reflectively.}
 
(Mrs Howells) Well, I'd say now it's her business to keep him from wanting everything she can't get.
(1, 0) 356 What d'you mean?
(1, 0) 357 I don't think I understand.
(Mrs Howells) Never you mind then.
 
(Mrs Evans) She always had different ideas from anybody else.
(1, 0) 362 But some men are different to others─
(Mrs Howells) I wonder!
 
(Mrs Evans) Well, there wasn't much alike about my two─beyond a coat and trousers.
(1, 0) 365 And my husband's an exception─
(Mrs Howells) Every woman's husband is an exception, Mrs. Morgan─-when she's only been married a month.
 
(1, 0) 368 I'll come back at ten, Mrs. Evans.
(Mrs Evans) Ten sharp it comes out.
 
(Mrs Evans) Ten sharp it comes out.
(1, 0) 370 And if─Mrs. Evans─suppose it isn't all right, p'raps you'd just put it aside without anybody seeing it?
(Mrs Evans) I'll do my best, whatever.
 
(1, 0) 375 Yes.
(1, 0) 376 That's what I mean─the Richardses.
(Mrs Howells) Don't you vex about them, Mrs. Morgan.
 
(Mrs Howells) They're not worth it.
(1, 0) 379 It's all very well for Jinnie Richards, that's been at home all her life.
(1, 0) 380 But if it came to making bonnets─
(Mrs Howells) Aay.
 
(Mrs Howells) Then she'd see; and, if you'll excuse me mentioning it, that was a grand little bonnet you made for our Sarah─
(1, 0) 383 I'd rather make fifty of them than go through this day again.
(Mrs Evans) We've all had to go through it─the best of us; even Mrs. Howells here.
 
(Mrs Howells) What did you: use, Mrs. Morgan, yeast or barm?
(1, 0) 391 Yeast, Mrs. Howells.
(1, 0) 392 I go it at the Top Shop last night─
(Mrs Howells) {Rising.}
 
(1, 0) 400 Yes, that's where I'm dealing.
(1, 0) 401 Is there anything─
(Mrs Howells) Did you try it, Mrs. Morgan?
 
(Mrs Howells) Did you try it, Mrs. Morgan?
(1, 0) 403 Try it?
(Mrs Howells) Yes.
 
(Mrs Howells) Mix it with warm water and sprinkle flour on it, and put it on the hob to see if it would rise?
(1, 0) 406 No!
(1, 0) 407 Is that what I ought─
 
(1, 0) 409 It's spoiled!
(1, 0) 410 It's all spoiled!
(1, 0) 411 I know it's all spoiled.
 
(1, 0) 413 Don't let them see it, Mrs. Evans!
(1, 0) 414 Don't let them see it─not that Jinnie Richards!
(Mrs Howells) Let me see.
 
(Mrs Howells) Have you got any of that yeast left?
(1, 0) 418 Yes; a lot.
(1, 0) 419 I thought I'd keep it for next time.
(Mrs Howells) Keep it?
 
(1, 0) 720 I couldn't find it at first.
(Mrs Howells) {Taking yeast.}
 
(1, 0) 729 Is─it─is it ready, Mrs. Evans?
(Mrs Howells) Got mine there, Betsi?
 
(1, 0) 742 Oh!
(Mrs Evans) Two, isn't it─bake-house tins, and no mark?
 
(1, 0) 746 Ye-s-s.
(Mrs Evans) Here we are then!
 
(Mrs Howells) I'm sure you are.
(1, 0) 758 Are these─mine?
(Mrs Howells) {Rising, takes loaves from tins with apron, taps them and examines them critically.}
 
(Mrs Evans) That'll be a penny, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 770 Oh, yes!
(1, 0) 771 I was forgetting.
 
(1, 0) 773 P'raps you'll come up and have a cup of tea with me one day this week, Mrs. Howells?
(Mrs Howells) Well, it's very kind of you asking, Mrs. Morgan.
 
(Mrs Howells) Well, it's very kind of you asking, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 775 Suppose we say to-morrow?
(Mrs Howells) All right, to-morrow.
 
(Mrs Howells) Diolch yn fawr.
(1, 0) 778 I generally have a cup by myself at four o'clock.
(1, 0) 779 But, if you'd rather, my husband has tea at six.
(Mrs Howells) {Significantly.}
 
(Mrs Howells) I think I'd better come at four, Mrs. Morgan.
(1, 0) 782 Very well.
(1, 0) 783 We can have a little chat to ourselves.
(Mrs Howells) {Smiling kindly.}
 
(1, 0) 787 Good night, Mrs. Richards; good night, Miss Richards.
