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
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
good gracious boy what's the matter.
I cannot enjoy being the subject of
amusement admire your ability mr. Ramsey
enormous Lee you know that I felt that
was such a privilege to be asked down
here to work with you I left my family
and I came down I thought to spend so
many weeks to be able to discuss my
dissertation I thought I must not miss
such a chance now it is nearly over what
are you trying to say I feel
disappointed deeply disappointed do you
I don't understand you all this
gardening and sitting about and playing
cricket and playing on the beach now it
matters did it what about your work
isn't that what matters where it's still
family that matters is all your reading
and writing and all that discussions in
the basis that all the game but my work
in the hobby to me it's real it's
absolute and my political view they're
real proof I can't play games do I have
to be a good sport to be acceptable to
you mr. Tanzi mr. Hensley I have
something more to say to you mr. Tanzi.
Miller mr. Ramsay wants to know where I
am from I bought the village
[Music]

Arthur

message for you what was the message

[Music]
[Music]

hundreds of people you know standing
around talking and I saw him standing
