1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,358
Charlotte's home was beautiful.

2
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:16,191
The entrance hall had a stone floor covered by a large rug.

3
00:00:16,192 --> 00:00:20,574
The furniture was made of rich wood and leather.

4
00:00:20,575 --> 00:00:25,146
"We'll have tea in the parlor," Charlotte said to Florence.

5
00:00:25,147 --> 00:00:29,584
She led Vinnie and Mandy to a lovely room with a piano.

6
00:00:29,585 --> 00:00:36,570
Charlotte sat on the velvet-covered piano bench and began to play.

7
00:00:36,571 --> 00:00:41,654
"I've been playing since I was four," Charlotte bragged.

8
00:00:41,655 --> 00:00:44,235
"I love music.

9
00:00:44,236 --> 00:00:48,498
Mother says she'll take me to see Johann Strauss.

10
00:00:48,499 --> 00:00:52,615
His orchestra plays at Buckingham Palace sometimes."

11
00:00:52,616 --> 00:00:55,796
"Mandy!" Vinnie whispered.

12
00:00:55,797 --> 00:00:59,150
He had taken the photo out of his pocket.

13
00:00:59,151 --> 00:01:02,229
"The picture is glowing blue."

14
00:01:02,230 --> 00:01:07,356
"We have to find the sewing machine," whispered Mandy.

15
00:01:07,357 --> 00:01:10,686
Then she suddenly called out to Charlotte,

16
00:01:10,687 --> 00:01:14,666
"May we have a tour of your house?"

17
00:01:14,667 --> 00:01:19,398
Charlotte stopped playing, shrugged, and rang a bell.

18
00:01:19,399 --> 00:01:22,015
Florence walked back in.

19
00:01:22,016 --> 00:01:26,336
"Florence can show you around," said Charlotte.

20
00:01:26,337 --> 00:01:29,816
"Certainly," smiled Florence.

21
00:01:29,817 --> 00:01:32,129
"Right this way.

22
00:01:32,130 --> 00:01:39,397
This house has twelve rooms, including a library, four bedrooms, and the parlor."

23
00:01:39,398 --> 00:01:43,474
"Does Charlotte go to school?" asked Mandy.

24
00:01:43,475 --> 00:01:45,992
"She has a private teacher.

25
00:01:45,993 --> 00:01:52,499
Miss Charlotte also takes ballet, piano, and art lessons," said Florence.

26
00:01:52,500 --> 00:01:57,953
"What about the poor children in London?" asked Vinnie.

27
00:01:57,954 --> 00:02:02,291
"Most of them leave home and go to school until they are ten.

28
00:02:02,292 --> 00:02:07,743
Then they work at the factory where their parents work," said Florence.

29
00:02:07,744 --> 00:02:12,071
"You saw some women and their children at the factory."

30
00:02:12,072 --> 00:02:17,300
"Yes, the women were sewing by hand," said Mandy.

31
00:02:17,301 --> 00:02:19,499
"That's hard work."

32
00:02:19,500 --> 00:02:25,019
Florence nodded and said, "And it takes a lot of time.

33
00:02:25,020 --> 00:02:29,657
But Charlotte's father just brought home something special."

34
00:02:29,658 --> 00:02:32,958
"What is it?" asked Mandy.

35
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:37,795
"I will show you," Florence said with a smile.

36
00:02:37,796 --> 00:02:42,359
Upstairs, Florence stood before a closed door.

37
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:49,076
"Mr. Singer, an inventor, came up with a great idea," she said.

38
00:02:49,077 --> 00:02:53,644
Florence quietly opened the door.

39
00:02:53,645 --> 00:02:57,542
"It's a sewing machine," said Vinnie.

40
00:02:57,543 --> 00:03:04,602
"You already know about this?" asked Florence, shocked.

41
00:03:04,603 --> 00:03:08,750
"Vinnie thinks it's amazing!" Mandy said quickly.

42
00:03:08,751 --> 00:03:12,784
"Charlotte's father should put these in his factory."

43
00:03:12,785 --> 00:03:15,314
Florence shook her head.

44
00:03:15,315 --> 00:03:21,840
"No, there are only a few machines, and they're expensive."

45
00:03:21,841 --> 00:03:27,871
"Do you know how to use the sewing machine, Florence?" asked Mandy.

46
00:03:27,872 --> 00:03:34,836
"Oh yes, I make play dresses for Charlotte and . . . ," said Florence.

47
00:03:34,837 --> 00:03:39,731
"Curtains?" asked Vinnie, looking at the photo again.

48
00:03:39,732 --> 00:03:42,455
It was starting to turn red.

49
00:03:42,456 --> 00:03:46,579
"Oh no, Master Vinnie," explained Florence.

50
00:03:46,580 --> 00:03:50,553
"Charlotte's father would never have homemade curtains."

51
00:03:50,554 --> 00:03:54,337
"Well, then what?" asked Mandy.

52
00:03:54,338 --> 00:04:01,002
"Just something for me to wear," replied Florence, giggling.

53
00:04:01,003 --> 00:04:06,755
She shyly took something from a nearby chair and held it up.

54
00:04:06,756 --> 00:04:11,193
"Underpants!" shouted Mandy.

55
00:04:11,194 --> 00:04:19,508
The children's eyes closed as they fell down the dark tunnel.

56
00:04:19,509 --> 00:04:26,385
They were back home.
