﻿1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,947
Vinnie wanted to stay longer at the Crystal Palace, but Florence wanted to leave.

2
00:00:13,948 --> 00:00:19,344
"I didn't get to see everything," Vinnie complained.

3
00:00:19,345 --> 00:00:22,959
"Hush, Florence needs our help,"

4
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,826
Mandy whispered as the children followed Florence outside.

5
00:00:27,827 --> 00:00:32,325
Suddenly, Florence cried out, "Miss Charlotte!"

6
00:00:32,326 --> 00:00:37,621
A girl about Mandy's age was walking on the other side of the street.

7
00:00:37,622 --> 00:00:40,545
She stopped when she saw Florence.

8
00:00:40,546 --> 00:00:44,772
"Miss Charlotte!" cried Florence again.

9
00:00:44,773 --> 00:00:48,687
Charlotte crossed the street looking very sorry.

10
00:00:48,688 --> 00:00:53,846
"This is most upsetting," Florence said to her.

11
00:00:53,847 --> 00:00:57,302
"Don't be angry," Charlotte said.

12
00:00:57,303 --> 00:01:01,968
"I just wanted to have some fun by myself."

13
00:01:01,969 --> 00:01:06,370
"Well, it wasn't fun for me!" Florence said.

14
00:01:06,371 --> 00:01:08,259
"Who are you?"

15
00:01:08,260 --> 00:01:12,289
asked Charlotte, looking at Vinnie and Mandy.

16
00:01:12,290 --> 00:01:15,827
Florence introduced the children to her.

17
00:01:15,828 --> 00:01:20,389
"You're visiting London?" Charlotte said excitedly.

18
00:01:20,390 --> 00:01:23,821
"Florence, we must show them around.

19
00:01:23,822 --> 00:01:26,834
We can go to father's factory!"

20
00:01:26,835 --> 00:01:30,559
"A factory?" asked Mandy.

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,096
After the Crystal Palace, a factory didn't sound very interesting.

22
00:01:36,097 --> 00:01:40,889
"Your father wouldn't like it," began Florence.

23
00:01:40,890 --> 00:01:45,535
"Would you like to go?" Charlotte asked the children.

24
00:01:45,536 --> 00:01:48,649
"Well," replied Vinnie.

25
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:52,791
"We can take that cab!" Charlotte exclaimed.

26
00:01:52,792 --> 00:01:58,884
She ran to a nearby carriage and got in before Florence could object.

27
00:01:58,885 --> 00:02:00,658
"This is a cab?"

28
00:02:00,659 --> 00:02:06,013
whispered Vinnie, climbing into the horse-drawn carriage.

29
00:02:06,014 --> 00:02:08,907
"Cool!"

30
00:02:08,908 --> 00:02:12,871
The carriage rolled through the London streets.

31
00:02:12,872 --> 00:02:18,355
The children listened to the pleasant clip-clop of the horse's hooves.

32
00:02:18,356 --> 00:02:25,324
As they rode through the city, Mandy noticed the streets changing.

33
00:02:25,325 --> 00:02:33,376
The colorful streets, alive with people and shops, became dark and empty.

34
00:02:33,377 --> 00:02:37,322
"Where is everyone?" asked Mandy.

35
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:40,366
She looked out the carriage window.

36
00:02:40,367 --> 00:02:44,243
Poorly dressed children were playing outside.

37
00:02:44,244 --> 00:02:48,005
A few older people sat on doorsteps.

38
00:02:48,006 --> 00:02:52,763
"Most people are in the factories," explained Florence.

39
00:02:52,764 --> 00:02:56,690
Then she pointed to some big, brick buildings.

40
00:02:56,691 --> 00:03:01,346
Their tall chimneys poured dark smoke into the sky.

41
00:03:01,347 --> 00:03:05,008
"Are all these buildings factories?"

42
00:03:05,009 --> 00:03:09,195
asked Mandy, looking at the gloomy buildings.

43
00:03:09,196 --> 00:03:12,883
"Yes," said Florence.

44
00:03:12,884 --> 00:03:17,227
"Here we are!" Charlotte called out cheerfully.

45
00:03:17,228 --> 00:03:20,081
They stopped at a factory door.

46
00:03:20,082 --> 00:03:24,326
Charlotte jumped out of the carriage and ran inside.

47
00:03:24,327 --> 00:03:27,990
Florence asked the cab driver to wait for them.

48
00:03:27,991 --> 00:03:33,253
Then Vinnie, Mandy, and Florence followed Charlotte inside.

49
00:03:33,254 --> 00:03:37,916
They walked into a large room filled with long tables.

50
00:03:37,917 --> 00:03:44,331
Ten women sat at each table, among piles of pieces of cloth.

51
00:03:44,332 --> 00:03:48,134
The women were sewing the pieces by hand.

52
00:03:48,135 --> 00:03:51,110
Mandy looked around.

53
00:03:51,111 --> 00:03:55,620
"Vinnie, look!" she said in a shocked voice.

54
00:03:55,621 --> 00:04:03,889
Many of the people working in the factory were children.
