Transcription
kind request and, uh, leave it at that ? Yes. Fine. Of course. l-- Of course. l'll just be going, then. lt was nice to see you. The thing is, with you l'm in real... danger. lt seems like a... perfect situation, apart from that foul temper of yours, but... my relatively inexperienced heart would, l fear, not... recover, uh, if l was... once again cast aside, as l would absolutely expect to be. There are just too many pictures of you, too many films. You'd go and l'd be, uh, well, buggered, basically. That really is a real no, isn't it ? l live in Notting Hill. You live in... Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are. My mother has trouble remembering my name. Fine. Fine. Good decision. Good decision. The fame thing isn't really real, you know ? And don't forget l'm-- l'm also just a girl... standing in front of a boy... asking him to love her. Goodbye.

- Minna Grey – Duchess
- Paul England – Norman Druce (the miner)
Production
Burrell later noted that a location scene in which she had to fire a revolver while riding a pony had been filmed at Cheddar Gorge. The pony proved to be a bucking bronco and had bolted, with her clinging on grimly. Due to this excitement, filming had been abandoned for the rest of the morning.[2]
The film was distributed in Sweden under the title Australiens vilda ros ('Australia's Wild Rose') and subtitled Esmeralda, lägrets stolthet ('Esmeralda, Pride of the Camp'). The Swedish premiere was at the Odeon, Stockholm, on 3 October 1917.[3]
