The Rocking Horse Winner Page #3

Anything you wanted, we've had!

A holiday abroad, a new dress...

Taking this house, and furnishing it.

Even during the war...

I won't be made the scapegoat in front

of my brother for your bad behavior.

There are money difficulties, I know.

That's no excuse for your behavior.

However extravagant, I may be

that doesn't make me responsible for

your card debts.

Or for the beastly way you try to settle

them. I can tell you this, Richard

I will not give up everything I love or

believe in or the things I can't do without.

But can we afford it!

- Can we?

- Somehow, yes.

- There must be more money somewhere.

- But where?

There's the children's' education

to worry about.

- Richard has a new job.

- Not yet.

- Oscar will put in a good word for you.

- That's beside the point.

All this hysteria, my dear Hester,

is a waste of energy and exhausting.

Especially, since you're excited about

trivialities.

- Trivialities?

- Richard's problem is solved.

I will also help him get this new job,

but I warn both of you of the

seriousness of your position.

If you continue gambling Richard,

it's only a question of time before

you're ruined.

I've been unlucky.

It's not luck - you're a bad card player.

As for you Hester,

you are shamelessly extravagant.

I'm speaking not as your brother, but

as your trustee.

If you cannot live within your means,

at least live within calling distance of it.

The idea of giving up everything you

love may become a reality.

Nonsense. You exaggerate.

- I seldom do.

- I refuse to be frightened by you.

We must have more money!

You've had every penny from the trust.

We can't go on like this! We must have

more money!

- Not from me, Hester.

- It doesn't matter where it comes from.

We have to have it, and we must

get it.

We must have more money! That's all

there is to it!

There must be more money!

"There must be more money!"

"There must be more money!"

"There must be more money!"

"There must be more money!"

"There must be more money!"

"There must! There must!"

"There must be more money!"

"More money, more money,

more money!"

Would you like to sit down?

Yes. I'll sit there. Thanks.

Say, is that an important envelope?

This one?

Oh, very. Yes.

I expect Mother will be pleased to get it.

That's difficult to say.

She may, of course,

and then again, she may not.

- She burns most of her letters.

- It won't do any good to burn this.

- Is it special?

- I'll say it is.

Very extra super special.

Mrs. Richard Grahame?

- Yes.

- I'm from Parton Duffit.

Here's a writ.

Good day, madam.

I suppose we won't be going for a walk

now.

Why not?

Don't be lazy. Of course we're going
