On top of that, the pneumonia
brought by the dust was inevitable. |
00:00:01.760 - 00:00:06.160 |
The dust had got in everywhere, |
00:00:06.240 - 00:00:08.920 |
particularly where no new boards
could have provided weatherproofing, |
00:00:09.000 - 00:00:13.560 |
namely through the cracked glass
in the window on the stars |
00:00:13.640 - 00:00:17.680 |
above Claire's bed. |
00:00:17.720 - 00:00:19.080 |
Valuables, not to mention cash,
were non-existent at Manderlay, |
00:00:20.360 - 00:00:25.800 |
since the elegant clock |
00:00:25.880 - 00:00:27.640 |
miraculously still ticking merrily away
on the mantelpiece |
00:00:27.720 - 00:00:31.120 |
turned out to be not Swiss,
as Mam believed, |
00:00:31.160 - 00:00:35.040 |
but a copy made quite locally
and worth practically nothing. |
00:00:35.120 - 00:00:38.840 |
"The Freed Enterprise
of Manderlay" was bust. |
00:00:40.200 - 00:00:44.240 |
Wilhelm and Grace
were therefore under no illusions |
00:00:45.720 - 00:00:49.000 |
that anybody
would attend class this day. |
00:00:49.080 - 00:00:52.080 |
But then, one by one,
the Manderlay flock began to appear. |
00:00:54.680 - 00:00:59.160 |
I'm happy you're all here. |
00:01:08.600 - 00:01:10.080 |
But I don't really
have a lecture for you today. |
00:01:14.080 - 00:01:17.120 |
I'd just like to say... |
00:01:21.160 - 00:01:23.280 |
...how badly I feel
about this hopeless situation. |
00:01:27.000 - 00:01:33.040 |
But, of course,
words aren't much use to you. |
00:01:38.840 - 00:01:42.480 |
No. Missy has learned
that much, at least. |
00:01:43.720 - 00:01:46.960 |
But as regards hopelessness, it is
something we do know a bit about. |
00:01:49.760 - 00:01:55.040 |
