dresses
the best money could buy
books
oh they were beautiful leather bound
and games
i don't know what they were for
i didn't have any brothers or sisters or
friends to play with
at the party
they were the children of the people my
mother knew
so many i was frightened
i know my parents tried to be kind
i know we lived in london
and it's difficult
oh but steve i did
so want a pony
when i was 10
when i was 10 i cried all night
oh mate
how do we know which is cavaliers
have to try them all
[Music]
you start that end
[Music]
steve
hope you know what we're doing
there is
[Music]
give me some of that second quickly
hey dora tell me something
when sandy gets his uh
present tomorrow
what happens then
does draper decide he doesn't want the
horse anymore
does he go smiling home
and they all live happily ever after hey
he wouldn't take him back not once
you've given him to sandy
your faith in human nature amazes me
gotcha
you must think i'm a blithering idiot by
it
she hasn't even got the guts to do her
own dirty work
but cavaliers not his horse uncle that's
nothing to do with you he can't keep a
horse that doesn't belong to him is this
true draper
isn't the horse yours it's a present for
sandy dora janet had a heart set on it
will you stop interrupting says fair
uncle maybe we're both wrong
draper
hey you
fetch cavalier over here
well if he isn't your horse and they
didn't know the circumstances
you've seen this also
he's beautiful oh you're right he is
well coupled if you see what i mean
look at them legs
plenty of length and a bit of bone to go
with them
plenty of heart room and look at the
neck there you see the speed there
now you told me straight
would you give alms like that to a lad
not without proper schooling no
yeah right nor would i
i'll tell you
when we were a fall when i first gave
him to them i never catched on as he'd
turn into the fine animal he has
see i'm owning to it i've never catched
him
i saw him last year
and had died and
she was planning to give him to my
grandson well i couldn't have that not
the way he was
so took him back to school and
janet couldn't school a pussycat
but draper is one of the best trainers
in the county dora
well that lad will have a horse fit and
safe to ride
go on try and see if i'm not right see
if you'd harm anyone now
you'd have me to thank for that
i suppose you could have explained what
had happened
saved a lot of trouble look she had
cavalieri's first two year when my son
come out of the army she hadn't even
taught him to counter did you hear that
a two-year-old and didn't know how to
canter
through my son
but you don't give a lad the same horse
has k*lled his father well not unless
you're sure of his school in any road
what you mean
that horse your son not the horse uh
schooling
but she was going to give him to sandy
but she doesn't know
if she'd known she'd have had him shot
so i didn't tell
[Music]
it's your special present
watch over there grandpa's bringing it
the horse is kept at my place
that comes over for lessons you agreed
that
[Music]
man
[Music]
that's what you've been working for all
this time isn't
it miracles
by dora
it's how i wanted mighty's birthday
i've said some rotten things
i called you a hypocrite
i'm sorry
i've got to get used to your enchanted
world
learn to believe in miracles too
just give me time
