Jassy Page #3

---

Well, yes, you feel all right?

Yes.

That is I don't think Fanny Moy's

mother will have me back after today.

No.

You'd better come back

with me, young lady.

But why does the girl want

work, Mr Woodroofe

surely there is plenty of work at home.

There is

but I can't keep her, Mum.

Bread will be dear this winter a

carpenter can't always find work.

- Are you clean?

- Yes Mum.

Show me your hands.

Your nails?

You understand we rise early.

Yes, Mum.

Very well, I will give her a trial.

It's hard work in dairy

I'm a hard worker, Mum.

Good.

- You'd better start now.

- Thank you, Madam.

Be a good girl Jassy.

- Good Day, Mum, and thank you.

- Good Day.

This way.

Meggie, this is our new dairy maid.

After all I've said.

That's superstitious nonsense her

father is a God fearing man and a preacher.

Take her into the dairy and

set her to wash the crocks.

You needn't keep your fingers

crossed, I'm not a witch, really.

That's what you say but I'm taking

no chances of the likes of you.

This way.

That'll teach her.

I will smash you.

Poor child.

Does it hurt very much?

Lindy? What's the matter?

Lindy? Does it hurt very badly?

Speak to me?

I'm afraid there's nothing

more we can do for her now.

It was an unlucky blow.

How long will she be like this, Doctor?

It's impossible to tell, shock has

severely affected her vocal cords.

The loss of speech may be temporary.

Maybe permanent, I can't say.

You mean, my Lindy may never speak again

I'm sorry, Mum, I hold out

very little hope of it.

And I'll be of that view that loaf

deserved to be horse whipped.

Good day to you Mrs Wicks.

Bring her and we see her next week.

There's going to be nothing shoddy

about the place when I finish with it

I want an entrance exactly like

that picture I showed you.

Mr Helmar that gate where you showed

me looks very well in Florence

I've seen it in that setting it's perfect

but against the background you've got here.

Then I'll change the background.

Look here, Mr what's your name Sedley.

You know how much I paid

for that Italian marble? 1000 .

- Yes but.

- There's no but about it

I know what I want and

I'm going to get it.

Yes Mr Helmar.

You got this job because my

wife asked me to give it to you

if you don't want it you've

only got to say so

- is that clear?

- Yes, Mr Helmar.

And get on with it.

Quite Mr Helmar, Yes Mr Helmar

I'm sorry, Beatrice, but

I can't stand it any longer.

Can't you? Not even if I say.

Yes, Mr Sedley.

Mr Hatton - Thank you, Willy.

Good Evening Chris, we haven't started yet.

- There's a place for you, Chris.

- Thanks, I think I start with Nick.

- Going to win tonight?

- I hope so.
