But Pete was only too fully aware

of what his fate would be...

...for he could not hope

to escape death...

Would anyone else like to read?

- Your name, please.

- Pamela Dare.

"And he had learned to love.

I know not why...

...for this in such as him

seemed strange of mood.

But thus it was.

And though

in solitude's small part...

...the nipped affections

have to grow.

In him this glowed...

...when all beside

had ceased to glow. "

Thank you, Miss Dare.

Next, weights and measures.

What's avoirdupois?

- Avoir de what?

- Avoirdupois.

Weights.

Heavyweight, light-heavy,

cruiserweight...

...middle, light, bantam,

fly, featherweight.

Thank you very much.

It's encouraging that

and are easily amused...

...I can look forward to a happy time.

Copy down the following tables.

Who does he think he is, there?

The cheeky devil.

Hello, ducks.

Thought you might need this.

How'd it go?

Let's just say, battle was joined.

I don't know what we'd do

without a cuppa.

What's your name?

I know that.

I mean, your other name.

Mark.

Couple of things, Mark.

We all know the old man's views.

Basically, we agree with them.

But he's safe in an office.

These kids come from homes where

One rude word to their parents,

the roof will hit them.

There's nothing like that

going on here, right?

Weston couldn't care less

about them, and that's no good.

I can't guide you...

from these little tykes.

That's been tried...

...by experts.

- When you're shopping, you see...

- I said, that's enough.
