1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,878
Vinnie and Mandy could not believe their eyes.

2
00:00:10,879 --> 00:00:14,131
They followed Charlotte through the factory.

3
00:00:14,132 --> 00:00:21,511
Every room was filled with factory workers: men, women, and children.

4
00:00:21,512 --> 00:00:27,900
"Florence, why are children working in the factory?" asked Mandy.

5
00:00:27,901 --> 00:00:31,011
Florence's face was serious.

6
00:00:31,012 --> 00:00:34,980
"For their families, Miss Mandy," she said.

7
00:00:34,981 --> 00:00:41,025
"People want British products, so our factories must stay busy.

8
00:00:41,026 --> 00:00:45,907
That means everyone, including poor children, must work."

9
00:00:45,908 --> 00:00:51,318
It didn't seem fair to Mandy, but she kept quiet.

10
00:00:51,319 --> 00:00:55,281
Loud noises came from a nearby room.

11
00:00:55,282 --> 00:01:02,289
They went in and saw huge machines with big metal rollers moving back and forth.

12
00:01:02,290 --> 00:01:07,636
"They look like mechanical weaving machines!"

13
00:01:07,637 --> 00:01:11,585
Mandy cried, but no one heard her.

14
00:01:11,586 --> 00:01:17,014
The sound was so loud that she had to put her fingers in her ears.

15
00:01:17,015 --> 00:01:22,652
"Miss Charlotte!" yelled a man carrying a stack of paper under one arm.

16
00:01:22,653 --> 00:01:27,208
"Mr. Geoffrey! I want to see my father,"

17
00:01:27,209 --> 00:01:30,081
Charlotte yelled over the noise.

18
00:01:30,082 --> 00:01:34,097
The man turned and led them out of the noisy room.

19
00:01:34,098 --> 00:01:39,349
"He is very busy, Miss Charlotte," said Mr. Geoffrey.

20
00:01:39,350 --> 00:01:41,603
"He can't see you now."

21
00:01:41,604 --> 00:01:44,484
Charlotte looked very sad.

22
00:01:44,485 --> 00:01:48,382
"I want him to meet Vinnie and Mandy."

23
00:01:48,383 --> 00:01:51,445
Mr. Geoffrey shook his head.

24
00:01:51,446 --> 00:01:55,290
"Please," pleaded Charlotte.

25
00:01:55,291 --> 00:01:59,280
"I'm sorry, no," said Mr. Geoffrey.

26
00:01:59,281 --> 00:02:03,126
"What are you making here?" Vinnie asked.

27
00:02:03,127 --> 00:02:05,837
"This is a textile factory.

28
00:02:05,838 --> 00:02:11,209
We weave cloth and make clothes," replied Mr. Geoffrey.

29
00:02:11,210 --> 00:02:16,796
"Do all the factories here make clothes?" asked Mandy.

30
00:02:16,797 --> 00:02:22,637
"No, across the street, they make parts for the railroad," he said.

31
00:02:22,638 --> 00:02:26,418
"Why are there so many factories?"

32
00:02:26,419 --> 00:02:29,107
Mandy wanted to know.

33
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:33,929
Mr. Geoffrey laughed. "The world is changing.

34
00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:36,415
Industry is the future!

35
00:02:36,416 --> 00:02:39,767
If you need something, England can make it."

36
00:02:39,768 --> 00:02:46,203
Since Charlotte was not allowed to see her father, she wanted to leave.

37
00:02:46,204 --> 00:02:51,575
So they left the factory and found the cab driver waiting.

38
00:02:51,576 --> 00:02:55,058
Suddenly, church bells rang.

39
00:02:55,059 --> 00:02:59,378
Vinnie turned to see a large bell tower in the distance.

40
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:09,497
"That is St. Katherine's, an old church that escaped the Great Fire in 1666," Florence said proudly.

41
00:03:09,498 --> 00:03:17,250
"The fire destroyed over 87 churches in London, but not St. Katherine's!"

42
00:03:17,251 --> 00:03:22,847
"Let's go. It's teatime!" demanded Charlotte.

43
00:03:22,848 --> 00:03:25,749
She turned to Vinnie and Mandy.

44
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:29,207
"Would you like to come to my home for tea?"

45
00:03:29,208 --> 00:03:33,399
"We'd love to," they replied.

46
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:38,212
They got into the carriage and rode toward Charlotte's house.

47
00:03:38,213 --> 00:03:43,823
As they passed through the streets, the city changed again.

48
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:49,222
"How clean and pretty the streets are," Mandy thought.

49
00:03:49,223 --> 00:03:53,192
The houses here were bigger and nicer too.

50
00:03:53,193 --> 00:03:57,804
Charlotte's house was on a square with several other homes.

51
00:03:57,805 --> 00:04:01,480
A pretty garden was in the middle of the square.

52
00:04:01,481 --> 00:04:04,954
Little children were playing outside.

53
00:04:04,955 --> 00:04:14,236
"What a difference from the other side of London," Mandy said to herself.
