- What did I say? - You were trying to save her, Mother.
-
I'm sorry, Mr. Dickens.
-
I think I may have strayed into some family history.
-
My eldest daughter, Fanny, was thrown from her cot.
-
My husband and I were traveling around America some years ago,
-
and our paddle steamer was rammed by another boat,
-
and Fanny was thrown up into the air and saved,
-
miraculously, by a mattress.
-
The angels were watching.
-
- Yes. They were. - Yes
-
Extraordinary story.
-
I am done, Mr. Dickens.
