alone the children were all upstairs

their rooms you were off with a duster

somewhere Michael was in some corner

with Tansley throwing away and so I sat

there because it was so quiet there's

nothing to distract me I began to hear

the waves I'm not sure know how it is

when you begin to hear something like

that and it begins to get louder and

louder and really becomes quite

insistent you wonder how it is that you

don't hear it all the time so I listened

to the rhythm of the waves falling going

back falling again

it's filled its little but I always have

put words to rhythms like I can't help

it.

Ticking of the clock wheels were trained

to the lighthouse fell away before is it

true that I found myself saying the lord

have mercy on us Tigra the way before

and the Lord.

I went to find some company I remember

as I noted in the kitchen and I started

talking about the next day's meals I

can't imagine what you thought a Gooden

in my situation so different from yours

of course

hi because you have children and I do

not because you have a man always to

share your bed I have known oh but not

really do you share mrs. Ranley you

don't cease to be one person into him

you don't become half a person

do you two minds open like nerves and a

kiss I don't believe they do love can't

claim so much

I'm not poor Lily you must not say that

why must you always insist that the

light had missed and shivering outside

the gates to bliss just because we are

not married just because we do not have

a man or was to come / and serve

I do not serve here I'm a not permitted

to be happy as I am on my own Lily I do

assure you I do not serve here this is

my household and I am in control when it

comes down to it you know Michael is

that one member who don't understand

suppose he rejected you it's a very

different then if he pushed you out the

front door and loved it what then you

would starve

you don't understand.

[Music]

I've had enough of your damn

philanthropy we do this list again if

you aren't writing letters to bereaved

relatives and you're fiddling about with

your account books for the poor and

greedy as you're making your visit

Caroline do you understand we have

children who want you to themselves and

there is misery all around I know damn

it I knew water land Livie and I know

his family is destitute but I also know

I cannot care for the whole world can

can you love our patients and would like

to rest we took thousands per tomorrow

couldn't remover would you like that

mother yes.

I do not agree that it has to be them

I'm sorry but I cannot afford it this

house is a luxury Caroline we are here

for eight weeks in the year but for the

remainder it is a drain on my purse

now I love these summer's more than

anyone but let me say this if you

continue to give the nod to such

unnecessary expenditure I shall sell I

will place the house on the market this

very autumn what do you want me to do

till I instruct a boiler to take all the

materials back I have no wish to discuss

this trivial matter any further

do as you think fit

did you find out says he cannot afford

it ridiculous of course he can afford

not easily but it won't produce us to

the workhouse Paulo worries have about

money towards a more relation prove this

house is a luxury luxuries are immoral

yeah but nothing was spent on

you know child as I get older I find I

returned more and more to the central

conundrum of philosophy or rather it

returns to me the relationship between

mind and body Here I am up to 40 years

of reflection I feel that somehow we are

all fundamentally wrong I cannot find a

concept that fits the physical facts

minds are brain after all brings a

flesh-and-blood mind is meat child do

not perceive our minds as mixer ah

but maybe we should dear boy that is my

point I go to the beach for a babe the

sea sets my skin tingling but the sea

also sets my brain tingling to get my

point the sea may affect how I think how

is this child assist me I'm not sure I

follow you mr. Ramsay cherub Josh Jo Jo

I cannot enjoy being the subject of

amusement admire your ability mr. Ramsey

enormous Lee you know that I felt that

many weeks to be able to discuss my

dissertation I thought I must not miss

such a chance now it is nearly over what
