Little Lord Fauntleroy Page #3

When do we have to go away?

Mr. Havisham is

making the arrangements.

And will come tomorrow

to tell us the particulars.

Mary is coming too, isn't she?

If I have to swim me way over!

That would be a sight.

I'm going to have a time now,

explaining what happened to Mr. Hobbs?

Thank you, Mrs. Grabowski.

Help yourself to a licorice there,

Ceddie.

- No, thanks.

- Huh?

Do you recall

what we talked about yesterday?

Uh, politics?

We also talked about Lords

and Earls and Marquises.

Recalled and entered

the conversation, yes.

Do you recall you said,

you wouldn't have a Lord nor a Marquis

sitting on one of your barrels?

I sure do. And I wouldn't!

Well, there's one sitting

on your barrel right now, Mr. Hobbs.

You got a headache?

You got a pain somewhere?

I'm fine. And it's the truth, Mr. Hobbs.

Right now, I'm Lord Fauntleroy.

But someday, I will be an Earl.

You got some story.

I best take you home.

I'm fine. And it's the truth, Mr. Hobbs.

I wrote down my grandpa's name exactly.

So I could tell it to you.

"John Arthur Molyneux Errol,

Earl of Dorincourt."

All my grandpa's sons died,

including my papa.

It looks like I'm stuck with it.

- I'll be jiggered.

- I'm jiggered too, Mr. Hobbs.

You've been dealt a mighty low blow,

Ceddie.

I'll be glad to meet my grandpa.

That part's all right.

But I give you my word. When I'm

an Earl someday, I wont be a tyrant.

It'll be an uphill fight.

But I reckon you'll make it.

Seeing as how your half-American.

Best half, I have my lights.

Then we're still friends?

To the death!

In spite of your misfortune.

Thanks, Mr. Hobbs!

Guess this news isn't bad after all.

The Earl is anxious

his grandson should look forward

with some pleasure

to his future life in England.

And said that if he would expressed

any wishes, I should gratify them.

That much?

Oh, hardly an untoward sum, Mrs. Errol.

You must remember that a great change

has taken place in your son's life.

Maybe it won't be all that bad, mama.

Being an aristocrat.

Now if I can give Dick money

to buy out Jake.

And buy Mr. Hobbs

a genuine gold watch.

I guess my grandpas just about

the best person in the whole world.

Your grandfather will deny you

nothing money can purchase.

I'll be blowed!!

If that's not enough to buy Jake out,

I'll ask Mr. Havisham for more.

Enough? This is more than enough.

Good. Don't forget to buy

a boss sign too, Dick.

I'll be jiggered!

There's writing inside

of the genuine gold watch, Mr. Hobbs.

It says " From your oldest friend,

Lord Fauntleroy."

"from Ceddie to Mr. Hobbs."

"when this you see, remember me."

I ain't like to forget you.

I'm sorry. I won't be able
