MRS LYONS <br>
HELLO, MRS J. HOW ARE YOU? <br>
MRS J.? ANYTHING WRONG? <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
I HAD IT ALL WORKED OUT. <br>
WITH ONE MORE BABY WE COULD HAVE MANAGED. <br>
BUT NOT WITH TWO, THE WELFARE HAVE ALREADY BEEN ON TO ME. <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
TWINS? YOU'RE EXPECTING TWINS? <br>
<br>
NARRATOR <br>
HOW QUICKLY AN IDEA, PLANTED, CAN <br>
TAKE ROOT AND GROW INTO A PLAN. <br>
THE THOUGHT CONCEIVED IN THIS VERY ROOM <br>
GREW AS SURELY AS A SEED, IN A MOTHER'S WOMB <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
GIVE ONE OF THEM TO ME. <br>
PLEASE, MRS JOHNSTONE. PLEASE. <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
ARE Y'.... ARE Y' THAT DESPERATE TO HAVE A BABY? <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
EACH DAY I LOOK OUT FROM THIS WINDOW <br>
I SEE HIM WITH HIS FRIENDS, I HEAR HIM CALL, <br>
I RUSH DOWN BUT AS I FOLD MY ARMS AROUND HIM <br>
HE'S GONE. WAS HE EVER THERE AT ALL? <br>
<br>
I'VE DREAMED OF ALL THE PLACES I WOULD TAKE HIM <br>
THE GAMES WE'D PLAY THE STORIES I WOULD TELL <br>
THE JOKES WE'D SHARE, THE CLOTHING I WOULD MAKE HIM <br>
I REACH OUT. BUT AS I DO, HE FADES AWAY. <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
IF MY CHILD WAS RAISED I A PALACE LIKE THIS ONE <br>
HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY WHERE <br>
HIS NEXT MEAL WAS COMIN' FROM <br>
<br>
HIS CLOTHING WOULD BE <br>
SUPPLIED BY GEORGE HENRY LEE <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
HE'D HAVE ALL HIS OWN TOYS <br>
AND A GARDEN TO PLAY IN <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
HE COULD MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE <br>
WITHOUT THE NEIGHBOURS COMPLAININ' <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
SILVER TRAYS TO TAKE MEALS ON <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
A BIKE WITH BOTH WHEELS ON? <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
AND HE'D SLEEP EVERY NIGHT <br>
IN A BED OF HIS OWN <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
HE WOULDN'T GET INTO FIGHTS <br>
HE'D LEAVE MATCHES ALONE <br>
AND YOU'D NEVER FIND HIM <br>
EFFIN' AND BLINDIN' <br>
AND WHEN HE GREW UP <br>
HE COULD NEVER BE TOLD <br>
TO STAND AND QUEUE UP <br>
FOR HOURS ON END AT THE DOLE <br>
HE'D GROW UP TO BE <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS / MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
A CREDIT TO ME <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
TO YOU? <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
YES. <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
I WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM EVERY DAY, <br>
WOULDN'T I? <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
OF COURSE <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE <br>
AN'.... AN' YOU WOULD LOOK AFTER HIM, <br>
WOULDN'T Y'? <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
I'D KEEP HIM WARM IN THE WINTER <br>
AND COOL WHEN IT SHINES <br>
I'D PULL OUT HIS SPLINTERS <br>
WITHOUT MAKING HIM CRY <br>
I'D ALWAYS BE THERE <br>
IF HIS DREAM BECAME A NIGHTMARE <br>
<br>
MRS JOHNSTONE & MRS LYONS <br>
MY CHILD <br>
MY CHILD <br>
MY CHILD <br>
<br>
MRS LYONS <br>
MRS J. WE MUST MAKE THIS A BINDING AGREEMENT. <br>
<br>
NARRATOR <br>
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THE THING WAS DONE, <br>
NOW THERE'S NO GOING BACK, FOR ANYONE, <br>
IT'S TOO LATE NOW FOR FEELING TORN <br>
THERE'S A PACT BEEN SEALED, <br>
THERE'S A DEAL BEEN BORN. <br>
<br>
