CLOSE ON DICKENS as he dies, his eyes glaze over, falling

limp in the arms of MARIA, not seen, his dead eyes glazing

over as if looking straight at NELLY

CLOSE ON NELLY tears glistening, a life shared together held

in that look

102 INT. HALL. SCHOOLHOUSE. MARGATE. NIGHT. 1885. 102

AT ONCE RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE-

Blue Revisions dated 11th June 2012 106.

A row of SCHOOLBOYS, GEOFFREY at its heart bowing before a

delighted audience.

ALL:

Bravo..Bravo.

NELLY flushed and happy, eyes stung with tears of pride,

clapping. She looks over to BENHAM, he smiles at her, with

shared understanding.

BENHAM:

(mouthed)

Bravo.

NELLY turns to GEORGE, gripping his hand. GEORGE squeezes it,

yet clearly something irrevocably changed. They turn back,

smiling at GEOFFREY a mop of golden curls.

THE END:
