I just came in to say "Good morning" to Merlin, Mr. Jones. |
(1, 0) 105 |
I─I thought I should find him alone. |
|
|
(1, 0) 108 |
It might be better. |
(1, 0) 109 |
It is up-hill work, Mr. Jones. |
(1, 0) 110 |
Opposition is so keen, and─and─so unfair. |

I am ready to work my hands off, but what is the use? |
(1, 0) 117 |
At every turn I am met by unscrupulous trickery─by men who cut the ground from under my feet, and snatch the fruits of my labour from me. |
|
|
(1, 0) 120 |
I know you don't believe in me─you don't give me credit for anything. |
(1, 0) 121 |
Indeed, I am trying my best, Mr. Jones. |
|
|
(1, 0) 132 |
I─I just dropt in to see Merlin. |
|
|
(1, 0) 163 |
Yes─of course─how much does he want? |
|
|
(1, 0) 168 |
If I have, the fault is yours─{whispers}─your eyes bewitch me. |

I'm afraid there's more than one poet in the room, Mr. Morgans. |

The sentiment does you honour, sir. |

Merlin is a favourite with everybody, and, if anything happened to him, there wouldn't be one in the parish without a tear for him. |

I am beginning to hope that my luck has turned. |
|
|
(1, 0) 214 |
It is kind of you to interest yourself in my affairs. |
(1, 0) 215 |
The truth is, I am about to buy more suitable premises for my business. |
|
|
(1, 0) 219 |
I hope not, I am sure. |
(1, 0) 220 |
If you want it, I shall have to go to the wall. |
(1, 0) 221 |
Will you tell me where the place you want is? |
|
|
(1, 0) 226 |
It is in Market Square─near the Bank. |
|
|
(1, 0) 230 |
Always my luck! |
|

(1, 0) 233 |
Good gracious, Mr. Jones, I haven't got it. |
(1, 0) 234 |
It has taken me years to save enough to buy the house, and I must give it up if you are going to bid against me. |
|
|
(1, 0) 240 |
You are very kind. |
(1, 0) 241 |
I will accept the loan with gratitude. |
|
|
(1, 0) 244 |
I am in your hands. |
(1, 0) 245 |
You see, sir, with these offices I shall be more in the eye of the public, and shall soon increase my business, and pay back the loan. |

I have been too poor to make any sort of a show, but now things will be different; and if they turn out as I expect {eagerly} I hope you won't give me the same answer as you did last time─when─when─I─spoke to you about Nan. |
|
|
(1, 0) 250 |
I beg your pardon, sir, I ought not to have called her Nan. |
|
|
(1, 0) 253 |
I won't offend again. |
(1, 0) 254 |
But I am very fond of Nan {confused}─Miss Jones, I should say. |
(1, 0) 255 |
If it was a matter of business, I should remember better. |
|
|
(1, 0) 258 |
But─ |
|

I believe he's done me! |

(1, 0) 270 |
It's all up, Nan. |
(1, 0) 271 |
It's no use fighting any longer. |
(1, 0) 272 |
Your father is dead against me. |
(1, 0) 273 |
He has been my enemy all through, just because I love you. |
|
|
(1, 0) 275 |
Oh, the old story. |
(1, 0) 276 |
I am only a fool to be plucked by the rooks─not fit for the responsibilities of a home. |
|
|
(1, 0) 279 |
No, but he meant it. |
(1, 0) 280 |
He made an impossible condition─just to have the pleasure of laughing at me. |
|

(1, 0) 284 |
How am I to get £50 in five minutes? |
|
|
(1, 0) 301 |
And would it please you very much, Nan {looking into her eyes} if─if─we could somehow─if Merlin could help us to win your father's consent? |
|
|
(1, 0) 305 |
Then nothing matters! |
(1, 0) 306 |
We'll find a way. |

(1, 0) 316 |
Tell him, if you like. |

As long as Nan cares for me, I don't care a rap─ |
|

(1, 0) 322 |
How do you know? |
|
|
(1, 0) 331 |
He did. |
|
|
(1, 0) 335 |
No─I didn't. |
|
|
(1, 0) 338 |
But I can't go back on my word. |
|
|
(1, 0) 343 |
Don't talk about her, Merlin. |
(1, 0) 344 |
You make me mad! |
(1, 0) 345 |
He will always stand between us. |
|
|
(1, 0) 348 |
I know─if I would do his dirty work for him. |
(1, 0) 349 |
I'll never do it─never! never! |
|
|
(1, 0) 356 |
No, I don't. |
(1, 0) 357 |
You know I would do anything for her─short of soiling my hands. |
