Extract from Script:

SISSY JUPE: Mother died when I was born. She was – she was a dancer. Father and I travelled about the country and had no fixed place to live in. You see, Miss Louisa, Father’s a – clown! But sometimes the people wouldn’t laugh and then Father cried. He is far far timider than they thought. Father said I was his comfort through everything – I used to read to him to cheer his courage and he was very fond of that. Often, and often the stories made him forget all his troubles.
