Morning.
Now, as you're all no doubt well aware, your mistress, Mrs. Mortimer has by the grace of God granted you your freedom.
- [Crowd Member] Freedom.
- Freedom.
- But listen, listen.
You must remember that the houses you live in, they don't belong to you.
No, they're the property of your mistress.
So if you don't labor for your mistress as you've done before, then you can't expect to remain in your homes.
However-- - Him not talk truth.
Queen did command - We stay in our house.
- Hush up, we are here.
- Don't hush me.
- Before we'll be paid a fair wage.
Out of which you must pay a small rent for your homes.
Now, I know that some workers have already left and your number is depleted, therefore we need those good souls remaining to work hard so that the plantation of Amity may thrive and prosper once more for your esteemed mistress.
And let us all thank God for this blessing of freedom and prove to Queen Victoria, to the people of England, and to your mistress, that you are worthy of the kindness that's been shown to you.
(crowd sucking teeth) (man speaking foreign language) (crowd chattering) Thank you.
Thank you all for coming.
You may go.
(light airy music)
