No, it's Fizzy Lemonade if there's a raid.

Do you think the world will be? No, darling.

Be welcome to the last language of Banffi.

And the king, Carol, will remain here over there. They can't really take his name.

Gracious.

Carol, we're talking about you.

He's fed us all with the same name.

Expections in heavy disguise.

Oh my god.

Well, better cake.

Cheers.

Darling, you intrigued me. Tell me something about yourself.

What's your aunt's name? Something about your family.

Is your mother alive?

No, no, she's an orphan. She told me.

Your orphan's have found it somewhere, darling.

Who was your father?

Oh, my room business.

You know some questions.

He was lovely, very important. I don't think he's alone here.

He's good at an action, didn't you say?

Well...

Oh, Angela?

But she must know. Well, I mean, what rank was it? What rank was it?

What rank was it?

But it's not.

You look great, Jim. I mean, he may have been a private.

He wasn't. He was a captain. He won the D.S.O.

Beyond that, I don't know very much of the phrase.

He was away a lot while I was growing up.

It was a station to board.

Now, look, end of subject.

My father was killed in action of Jutlin.

And one of his last actions, God bless his dear old heart,

was to entrust Patrick and me to an Admiral friend of his.

That's flag left, and it's cruising about in the Med.

Part of it all, and yet not part of it.

No stories to tell the grandchildren.

No, darling, don't let's get more good in again.

It's not your fault to survive.

No, no.

But it does cause a kind of lassitude.

I mean, most of your friends gone.

Aimless days spent in the subject, what?

A charming compliment to us.

How can we help?

By staying with us and putting us back together.

All the giving horses and all the giving men.

You couldn't put Patrick together again.

Will somebody please dance with me?

Yes, I will.

See?

I'll see you, see?

Mmm.

Good night.

Oh, my gosh.

I'll pick you up up a straight.

I'll give you a chance tonight, Sunday night.

I...

I'll find him.

I'll find him.

It's...

Your name is coming for your name.

Please, shut up.

I'll go in place.

I'll go in there and talk to you.

I'll go in there and talk to you.

I'll be lying for you, baby.

Hey, what's the record?

Are we not sure?

Girls in the suit, whatever it is.

Oh, good.

Walking to last to that girl.

No use here.

She'll see you be a big graven, no mistake.

And then she'll chip over the shovel they dug it with.

Heh.

Missed us luck.

The last to tell you.

You're off at the end of my two weeks, baby.

Oh, no.

And that's been generous.

Oh, you can't.

And that's for you.

You can't dismiss her.

It's my fault.

Oh, my goodness.

The asshole, John, the old lady,

she made me buy me everything.

I'll hang it up for you.

Get out.

No.

She's innocent.

Then punish me, not her.

Get away from her.

I won't.

She goes, I go to her and you'll never see me again.

Oh!

Don't you never talk to me.

Not that infront of my stuff.

I don't care.

You are.

What I do, we're masked half is my business and my business alone.

Heh.

Heh.

Heh.

Heh.

Heh.

Now, I've got some talking to do, you and me.

Oh, stop it, Sniggling.

Heh.

Heh.

All right, let's be talking piece and quiet.

Now, I don't know what you think your game is.

I'm sorry.

Sorry.

Yeah, well, that's not good enough, is it?

How can I trust this, what you've done?

This is beginning to find something.

Now, this can be a nothing more than common little tart,

or for the person that lays his ends on you.

It wasn't like that, hard and gentleman.

Adapting 19-year-old schoolgirls and come back them up to night clubs.

I know, we were stupid.

I know, we were bad, but...

Oh, do penance all sweet, the floor is anything.

You won't see him again, unless you're penance.

What?

He's not coming here again.

And you can forget about that river trip he owes as well.

Oh, no, please.

Go pick a shop on you till you go back to Switzerland,

which won't be a moment too soon, as far as I'm concerned.

Oh, I didn't mean that.

You don't love me.

Oh, don't get emotional.

You don't know you want to say that.

Look, I do.

I know we don't find it easy to get on with each other,

but I do love you in my way.

Your father was here.

Oh, keep him out of it.

You've punished me, but you want dismissed power, will you?

Oh, please don't.

Oh, think about it.

Here, just a minute.

Suppose you fancy yourself in love with our dear.

You're still a school girl.

Just play your time for love when you finish learning.

You can go to parties.

What does she know about it?

We're not going to get married or anything stupid.

I just want to be with him.

And she's behaving like some Victorian mama in 1880.

She lets everyone else do what they like in this hotel except me.

Personally, I think you're very silly, very immature girl.

What?

If you were my daughter, I would love you in your room

and put you on shorebrushes for a week.

She's let you up.

Not you as well.

You have all people.

Major.

Well, I'm afraid I agree with Miss Bradford.

My dear child, I'd expect your mother to take any other line, can you?

Oh, you're all the same.

You old people.

You don't know anything.

Lottie.

Come to Ollie.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Lottie.

Lottie.

Lettie.

Lettie.

She's full of remorse.

Regrets it terribly.

Shut herself in her room crying.

Punishment enough, isn't it?

So she sent you to meet around me, a sheet?

Not at all. My own initiative, entirely.

Yeah, well, I've had a letter from young Blinkers.

Apologizing.

As only he came.

There's something else, please.

Oh, splendid.

Charming fellow, Hyde.

That's how to behave.

So, a bit of an adventure.

Carflove, innocent.

It's all part of growing up, isn't it?

His father was a good son.

Oh, Reggie.

Salted the earth, Reggie.

Can't say the same for his mother, though.

Rose is alright when he...

No, how to handle her.

Look, the child has fed a little time before she goes back.

Let her go on the river trip.

If it makes you feel uneasy, oh,

Olive Bradford and I will go along with them.

Keep an eye on them.

You and Olive Bradford.

Yes, I'm sure she wouldn't mind giving up an afternoon.

She's very fond of lot here, eh?

Yeah, the blooming travel she is.

What?

I pay good money for that school.

It's day in the drain of all looking suppliers, teachers like her.

Professional virgins.

Refilling young girls, eats with tales of Paris and Polish lovers.

And whatever other rubbish comes in their frustrated imaginations.

Virgin?

No, I know young girls jump out of their windows and make fools themselves.

Frighten their mothers.

Good one to write them and them Chambayas.

But you can't, is that?

Most unjustified.

I've found her quite pleasant.

Rather agreeable, actually.

Yeah, I know you do, Major. I've noticed.

Now you want to watch it,

because you're just the sort of silly old duffer she's looking for.

The last grasp at the rock face before she goes slithering down the slope.

Oh, look, I can't, I know.

This is... It's grossly unfair.

She's not like that.

You've got a... a bee in your bonnet, are we?

Don't you're letting bitter discard your judgement?

No, no, she's a friendly woman in this office.

Well, I resent it, though.

Oh, suggesting she isn't truthful about her life?

Oh, no, I wouldn't dream with it, Major.

No, you swallow her story's whole.

She's swallowing yours, I presume.

You might make a good match for each other after all.

Oh, good.

You go on your river trip and enjoy yourself.

You only live once, but you keep lost in your sights.

She's got her life in front of her.

Oh, good.

That's your race, Major.

Oh, you'll give your start.

No, thank you.

No, no, no.

No.

No, no.

I'll tell you the carpet.

Vanished?

We've lost them.

I don't understand it.

You know what I should like now?

A large dish of strawberries and cream.

No, seriously.

A pledge to Mrs. Trotter.

There, would you?

I wish I didn't have to go back to that beastly school.

Will you write to me?

Every day.

Of course I will.

And then I'll go back to the house.

I wish I didn't have to go back to that beastly school.

Will you write to me?

Every day.

Of course I will.

And as soon as you're back, you must come and stay with us at Coz.

We have a yacht down there. It's rather fun.

Especially in Regatta.

Will your mother approve of me?

If she doesn't approve of you, my darling, I'll never get it right.

She sounds awfully fierce.

Not really.

I'm sorry you never met my father there.

He was a great friend of Mrs. Trotter's.

She used to have her house next door to the yacht squadron when he was on the committee.

Amazing parties.

Him and his cronies.

My mother thought they were playing bridge.

Did your father know Lord Hazel near?

Charlie, yes of course he did.

Said a die. I used to go sailing with Charlie.

He was awfully nice.

He was my father.

What?

And Mrs. Trotter is my mother.

Good God.

Are you shocked?

No, not a bit.

What a pedigree.

It's hard to live with.

It's I bet it is.

Because no one can ever know.

I am a vicance daughter.

You are indeed.

So that's all right.

Even if the rest is rather awkward.

Well, that sort of thing.

It doesn't matter a job nowadays.

Let me make a lovely chaperone you do, Major.

We did our level best, but they spurtered ahead.

And quite disappeared.

So what did you do about it?

We made extensive inquiries at the boatyard.

And then we had strawberries and cream.

Oh, did you?

I'm sure they were back soon.

Yeah, well, they've been back an hour.

It so happens.

Came back in Blinkers Bentley.

You paddled off on your own, according to them.

They couldn't keep up with you.

Oh, don't blame Toby, Mrs. Trotter.

It was all my fault.

No, no, it was my fault and Ty.

Oh, no, it was my fault.

It was both your plumbing faults.

If I was I'm concerned.

Still, no, I'm done.

I hope.

Let's forget about it.

Look what the wind's blown in.

Oh, let it do?

Thank you.

Can you find a vase for them?

What?

Oh, oh.

Sorry to wake you, old chap.

No, no, I was reading your book.

Never mind that now.

Listen, I have something to tell you.

1000 miles up the Amazon in an ocean liner fair from 90 pounds.

It's all right.

I have a little nest egg.

My mother left me.

The Dora-N-S Hilder-Bran will sail from Liverpool on September 15th.

Well, shall we go?

Yes, of course.

But won't you be insuiscent?

I have decided to resign at the end of the coming term.

Madam and I have never exactly seen eye to eye.

I shall be missed.

But the girls will miss you surely.

Lottie.

I am too a peppy.

And Lottie has discovered men, I think.

Yes.

Look, erm, I feel as something I should say about myself.

Your image of me is the intrepid explorer.

Yes.

While it might have been true of me 20 years ago, these days, erm, well, I know Dom and I, I know.

You don't want to go up the Amazon?

Not terribly.

Oh.

What a relief.

And what's for sure?

I had to put it to the test.

You're not disappointed?

No.

It's funny how, how I get to my age, how the mind plays tricks.

One that meets a pretty woman and, er, fondly imagines one is younger than one really is.

One even feels one is, but of course one isn't.

One would never have guessed.

The other day on the river.

Well, I can't have you to say so.

Anyway, age has little to do with it.

No, no, it's as personal.

May I ask you a personal question?

I all mean.

Why did you never marry?

Oh, quite simply erm, for a number reason.

I suppose the urge to travel on the lack of the right, er, companion.

Um, lack of funds.

May I ask you the same question?

Quite simply.

Nobody asked me.

I find that very hard to believe.

All right.

So, sir, have very rude on me. Would you like, sir?

If you don't want to go up the Amazon, where do you want to go?

Well, if it really late for now, I'd like to go up the Amazon.

If it really late for now, I...

I've always rather hank it after an old, er, watermelon, by a stream...

in a constable country.

Sounds perfect.

But unfortunately, funds precluded.

No, they don't.

She was far too young for him anyway.

Well, I still think it's a pity.

I've been nonsense darling. One couldn't have asked them anywhere.

Typical have heard. I despair of them, really, I do.

A millstone?

Well, of course she is.

Louise Eplott has little bastard.

When wonders, how many more of them there are?

What makes me so cross is the way she tried to deceive us all.

As if she could possibly have got away with it.

Oh, right, I'm a bit harsh the other night. She has got a bit of character.

And if I'm honest, I'd rather have her teach Lottie than some crabby old battered owner tip from a toothbrush.

We're, erm, thinking of getting married.

What?

In the autumn. They're quite a fair, no fuss.

You'd bar me.

Yes, I thought you'd say that.

I mean, I'm a little ding dong, as well.

There's no need to be vulgar.

We've thought about it from all angles, and we're going to do it, whatever you say.

Though it would be nice to have your blessing.

Throw yourself away.

Oh, heart. Good lord.

On the contrary, Olive's the one who's doing that, if anybody is.

Only hope I am worthy.

What are you going to live on?

She has a little money.

Oh, that's handy.

It's not the reason.

Take the bills though, won't it?

Well, that's another thing. We're not planning on living here.

Oh.

Bebbit here for too long.

Under your kind protection.

We're thinking of buying an old water mill.

An old water mill?

By a stream in Suffolk.

She'll paint, and I'll fish.

Come and visit from time to time.

When the fish aren't barting.

Oh, better, Louisa.

But do we should be a little more enthusiastic.

Which really is a puppet.

Not unlike you, in some ways.

I'm a lucky chap.

As you said yourself, it is my life.

Yeah, well.

I'm not going to talk you out of it.

I hope you'll be very happy.

You're very clumsy, you know.

Look at this. What a mess.

Oh, put me finger.

But no, you could be so clumsy.

I'm the one that has to clear it up.

You're very rude.

Sorry.

Don't like working here.

Get pushed around all the time.

Remember all the same under the skin, aren't they?

I'll move to you, because you don't bite me head off usually.

Sound way of getting back at them, see?

Here, can I have a squirt of this?

No, you cannot.

Show me.

I'm not going back to school tomorrow.

Oh, dear. The young man, is it?

Yes. But not for the reason you think.

I dear girl, you've really been behaving very strangely these last few days.

I'm surprised you noticed.

Well, of course I noticed.

But my age, love doesn't blind one to anything.

Well, it should if that's what it is, if that's the word you use.

What is the matter? Nothing.

Have I done something wrong?

No. Well, then why aren't you coming back to school?

So sorry, I'm interrupting.

She has decided she is not going back to school.

Well, I don't.

I don't know. You ask her.

Not it?

With a waste of time and money.

How does it seem to be me?

Because I told him who I was.

He told his friends and I heard them talking about me.

Not friends.

Angela Westbury and...

But they're a rotten crowd.

You don't want to take any notice of them. Ignore them.

They matter. They don't matter to me.

I'm illegitimate.

That's the point.

Mother wants me to be a little bit more than me.

That's the point.

Mother wants me to be a lady.

It's impossible.

I dare a girl. Half the crowned heads of Europe come from the wrong side of the blanket.

It's never hindered their progress.

My best friend at school, Laura Duckworth.

The power was a colonel and I was a bar maid.

And now she's headmistress of a large girl's school in the west of England.

And I know Chup too.

I can't mention his name. He's rather well known.

In the cabinet.

In the church actually is a bishop.

Good heavens.

So you see, it's not really a stumbling block.

In any way your school provides a certain amount of jollity.

You said so yourself.

Not a volley is not there.

If you take her away.

But I shall be there for the next term.

We'll have long chats about it.

Oh come on, lottie cheer up.

We'll go back and bluff it out together, shall we?

Yes.

Thank you.

Both of you.

Oh dear. So exhausting these girls.

How did Mrs. Trotter take our news?

Oh. Spend a day in the circumstances.

This friend of yours, Laura.

Laura Duckworth.

Yes, but was that true?

False. The bishop?

Oh, pure fiction.

What a team we make.

Oh, don't bother with that, Miss Brotridge.

But I insist. How much is it?

Oh, look, I'll settle that.

Oh, good, Mr. Trane.

Well, goodbye. Thank you for everything.

Goodbye.

Oh, and congratulations, by the way.

Ah, yes.

Is it folly, do you think?

No, Tommy's settled down.

Are you coming to the station with us?

No, I don't like fail, else.

Yeah. Come on, I'm out there.

Goodbye.

See you in August.

Yeah.

Hang on a minute.

A little extra money.

For a really hit knowing you.

Thank you.

Not a bad holiday, was it?

No, it was lovely. Thank you.

Not a bad how, did he see you?

No. He had to go up to Scotland.

They never bust up, did you?

Yes, sort of.

Oh, well.

Never mind.

Anymore, you'll see.

Yeah, I'll come by now.

If I miss.

Write to me, won't you?

Now, remember a train journey once?

During the Battle of Tillelle Cabilla?

Say that for a winter evening, Major.

Oh, yes. All right. Are we off then?

Hello, lotter, darling.

Back to school.

Well, have a nice time.

See you when you get back, perhaps. Bye.

Goodbye.

Oh, I'm in a minute.

Don't give next to me in a punt in the garden.

Are you ready?

We're very good, sir.

I mended it last week, can I get in just now?

We'll put it on one side then.

So you can put it on my bed, I suppose.

So I can put my foot so it can spread a sleepless night,

try to sort me so round.

Oh, well, it's not easy.

More music? Yes.

Oh, what is it now then?

I want some money, or, oh, don't we all?

I want some money.

Give me some, give me some, give me some, give me some.

Oh, I'd like to.

So I'm in a minute for a minute.

My parlor, I'm not sleeping.

I beg your pardon.

My parlor.

I love coffee, I'm going through.

What's that?

We'll show off the sheets for the double beds, madam.

Yeah, well, we'll discuss that later.

Coffee, Mary.

Don't want your obnob in with the servants in the dispense, Lottie.

You make me ashamed.

What does that mean?

I don't know.

And it's so small to talk like that.

Small?

I mean, if you were to take your proper place in society, Marco,

you don't obnob with the servants.

Mother, if I were to take my proper place, as you call it,

I would like to have a little money of my own.

Not much.

You don't go shoot.

No, I know, I don't.

I've got messes of things, but if I could just have a little cash.

I'll give you a cash every week.

Yes, pocket money.

And I pay for everything you need.

I'm all right.

Thank you, Mary.

It's my morning.

I've got more clothes than I have read.

It's not clothes that I'm worrying about.

Clothes are important.

Hey, look, hey, address.

You ought to take your proper place.

Proper place in society.

Yes, I know.

And you're most kind.

Very good education.

Cross me the earth.

Yes, and I'm most grateful.

I learned French and how to speak well and how to walk well.

And I learned music.

I like music.

Yeah, your father liked music.

Yes, I know.

And mother, I want to sing.

I mean, really sing.

That's why I want money.

I need lessons.

I want lessons.

I've got the basic instruments, you might say,

but I need training and how to put a song over and...

to sing, you mean?

Yes.

You all right?

All right.

All right.

You shall have lessons.

Oh, mother.

Oh, you did a lovely thing.

Yes, well, well, making choir is about a teacher.

But...

Lady Marshford's girls had a good one.

Lady Marshford.

Yeah, I'll drop a line to Lady Marshford.

Mother, it's not that kind of singing.

I know teacher.

It's a nice accomplishment.

Singing.

Accomplishment.

Very nice for a lady.

Lady.

Leave it to me, Lottie.

This one I'm others for, isn't it?

Thank you.

Oh, no.

I don't know.

It's all two.

I know.

I know.

It's all two.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Damn.

Damn.

This is top-to-town style.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Lady.

Paula?

Yes, the Paula.

Yeah, the Paula.

Mrs. Layton, did she say?

Yes, Miss Nottie.

Mrs. Trotter's mother.

Oh, thought I knew that name.

There's a kind of rumble when he breathes.

So I've got him in bed and the doctor says to keep him there for a day or two

and he's given him a bottle of medicine to cut the flame.

But don't like to look off him.

And he's asking for you, so here I am.

What do you want to say?

My music.

Forget you're ready if it was loose.

Very pretty, Edith, I may say so.

Thank you.

I was wondering when we was going to be allowed to meet.

Is your grandmother Lottie?

How do you do?

Yes, she's got quite a look at me about her.

No, she hasn't.

Oh, yes, she has.

My cheekbones.

I noticed her in the hall.

I thought to myself, I've seen that face somewhere before when I was younger, of course.

Go and try your music, Lottie.

Oh, please, does she?

Yes, grandmother.

Makes her after your father, eh?

Yes.

Off you go, Lottie.

Oh, let us stay at her grandfather, who's poorly.

Grandfather?

Poorly.

Yes, you do have a grandfather.

Though I don't suppose you've heard much about him or me.

Lottie!

He's been up and down for a week or two now, and he's asking for your mother.

Yeah, well, I'll come in this afternoon.

Well, may I come too?

I'd like to meet my grandfather.

That'd be nice, I'm sure.

Thank you.

Well, quite the little lady, considering.

Oh, are you dead?

Oh, fine.

And this is you, Nauru?

Lottie?

Yes.

I don't sit in the bed, Lottie.

Not really like.

Oh, no, she's all right there.

That's what you used to do, innit?

Remember?

Yeah, yeah, I've had that.

Sunday mornings, fetching me a capoe, right?

She used to sit there, and then I'd go to bed.

She used to sit there, and her mother was up, of course.

Of course, making the tea.

And we'd have a nice old chap.

A mittle, and she went.

Little thing she was too young to leave home, I felt.

Well, I don't seem to be needed here.

I'll make the tea, then.

We'll have it downstairs, so I'll bring yours up, Erm.

Oh, done.

Well, this, er, is this a surprise?

No, no, Dan.

Dan, don't fuss me, Lottie.

She keeps on fussing me.

I'm gonna die, I wanna die in peace.

Oh, Jay, it's only time to all out of it.

Well, comes to us all, and I want mine quiet.

You're darn right.

Yeah, well...

Do you mind if I smoke?

No, you're not in the sick room.

Of course not.

Sorry, Grants.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

It's all right.

I like to smoke myself sometimes, just occasionally.

Don't we swallow the smoke with any of that chest?

Why'd you keep her hidden so long, Lou?

We're going out with the tea.

I was pretty once, but I never played because, right?

Never had the right cards to play.

Got caught up with your dad.

I don't know, are you two ever married?

No, we kept boughing.

No one else asked you.

I felt sorry for him.

Oh, you surprise me.

Well, I was surprised.

When I woke up one morning,

found myself for two babies,

and half-baked does been fiddling the clocks all day.

He loves these clocks.

He loved me once.

So he said.

Now, I made these parts myself.

Really?

Yeah, well, I couldn't get replacements.

It's very old, obviously.

Couldn't just throw an old friend on one side.

You're very clever, Gramps.

Oh, not really.

I know my job.

Why, Gramps?

Beggo, Pardon?

Well, why do you call me Gramps?

Where'd you get that name from?

Well, I...

Oh, yes, it was a girl at that sick-making finishing school.

Oh, I thought it might have been you.

I have no idea.

Now, you see that little wiggle there.

She was very fond of her grandfather.

She used to talk about him.

I wished I had one.

Well, you got one.

I have now.

He was very good to her.

He used to send her money.

Oh?

Her father was killed in the war.

Oh, I see.

Well, all this Gramps has got is clocks.

Yes.

Can I look at another one, please?

Well, let me do this up first, eh?

She's got money.

She?

Oh, your mother.

She's got money for my father as well as all her own.

Yeah, well, she's comfortable.

She's done very well.

Do you know how much she gives me?

Fritting her idea.

Amazingly too, Bob.

A week.

Yes, pocket money.

Oh, that's not bad for pocket money.

I'm going to start the work on a little more than that.

Yes, but times have changed, Gramps.

I mean, it's too darn silly, too Bob a week.

Well, I'm 22, Gramps.

22.

Well, you could take a job.

She won't let me.

She treats me like a child.

Do you, sir?

Sir and Adam?

Let me help you, Gramps.

Oh, there's a kind girl.

Can I call you a cup, Gramps?

Oh, tough.

Right, there's a nerve, same cheek.

I like to be useful.

Yours is downstairs, Lottie.

I think I'll stay with Gramps.

Sugar?

Thank you, dear.

Two seconds and a fourth.

I don't know, Fred.

We don't see we very much luck with the horses this summer.

We need the major to tell us what not to back then.

Morning, Colonel.

I've been in the Turkish bars with any of our ones.

Very good, then.

I'll get her right away to clear up the mess.

One night party and I'll be there Mr. Dabo.

Oh, sure.

Through the night time my lonely heart is singing.

Sweet a song soft look.

Then the rounder never knew.

Not bad, Miss Riches.

Not bad at all.

Thank you, Mr. Summers.

You've got a voice.

I know, Mr. Summers.

Nick Summers?

Hello, Nick.

I'm Lottie.

I thought you'd be so horribly stuffy.

Me?

When you arrived last week, you were quite a shock.

Really?

Mother engaged you.

That's right.

On Lady Marshford's recommendation, she's awful.

She knew my uncle.

He taught her daughters, you see, and me incidentally.

So where is he now?

Retired?

Recommended me instead.

Sick of un-reacting.

Sick of untalented, empty-headed silly girl, he says.

Oh.

I quite readied you.

Hey.

But I needed the cash in your...

Well, you're...

I'm not silly.

No.

No empty-headed.

No.

And certainly very, very talented.

Yes.

Listen.

I need you.

So soon.

A clear mind, Lottie.

You've confused it totally.

Poor, Dottie Lottie.

No, I write songs, you see.

Clever boy.

For review.

Ah.

A slight interest, dawns in my snowy breath.

A very good song.

He says so.

I say so.

So are you and you sing them.

Yeah, man.

You presumed too much.

I'm a born actress, you see.

Yes.

But with your personality and the way you look...

Nah, nah.

Oh, come on.

You look lovely and you know it.

And you move like an angel.

Oh, baby.

We can do a lot together.

Purely business, of course.

Oh, purely business.

Oh.

But will it make me money, baby?

Oh, more than you dreamed of.

That's impossible.

Unnicious too, eh!

When do we start?

No.

Let us not delay the delight flower!

Your mother?

Out.

Visiting the sick.

Let's release.

Go, Dottie.

Go, Dottie.

Go, Dottie.

Go, bye.

Do-do-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-t-c-d-o-clie.

Don't you train that takes me.

Away from you, know us.

Say how sad it makes me kiss me.

It makes me kiss me to see a man

Do it over again

Wait for the male, I'll never fail

If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail

Tada, to see to cry

To to to to to see goodbye

How'd he still going on stuff?

I know, Colonel Fitzsimmons, he's gone to the to...

Look, look in the dark, cos 13 years ago

Look, look, look, look

What the Blaine male's going on

Oh, for that pier, are you impugned and young?

I asked him to...

No, don't go

I asked you here to teach about all the things that you call it

Sing him, they're disgusting, they're disgusting

Listen to me!

You're psyched!

You can't sack him!

I'll show her to Lady Marsh for telling her not to be trusted

Mother

I'm sure it was all entirely my fault

No, out!

Oh, you wicked girl

Wicked!

You're mad

Mad, mad, mad, I'll do me best for you

Turn them to play these tricks without fight young men

I'll dare you! Nick is my friend!

Well, he's not me more!

You silly old Carl!

Not a!

Don't pretend to be shocked, you have a fair turn of language yourself if you fancy it

I've heard about you and your tongue

God, I do!

And if you don't like my friends

Well, I'd like your other friends

Please, so you choose for me?

Well, if you try, she'll choose them for myself

And if you don't like them and what I do, you can give me my money

And I'll find a home of my own

Your home is here, and I'm responsible for you, and as for your money

It comes to me by the grace of God and Louisa Trotteray

Well, it's not good enough

I know what's meant for you, what your father would want

He want me to be myself, not some dressed up maple, carted about in the marriage market

Pretending to be a lady

You are a lady

I'm a bloody little bastard from your show

Don't you talk to me like that

Why didn't you leave me there?

At least I was a person, at least I knew my place

At least I had some bloody shreds of dignity

Instead of parading about here by your name

Stop it, Lottie!

I am going to be a singer

I'm going to be a star, and you won't stop me

I shall never marry, I shall never be part of your stupid dreams

I've got my own dreams, and I'll be true to them

If I starve, I'll be true to them

Lottie!

Oh, I'm not sure we love her, I need you now

But it boils down to this

I don't feel like a mother

Don't really feel as if she was anything to do with me in a sort of way

I worry about her

I wanted to be happy

Then make her happy

Hi

Give her enough money to be independent

Afraid too, Dad

Afraid?

Of little Lottie?

You don't know her

Have I?

No, her mother

And her grandmother

And you can't tell me her father was a way strong

No

Oh, she's no fool, her little Lottie?

I only met her once

Oh, she's been here a couple of times since

I didn't know

Well, she after

Didn't give her money

I was always one for a pretty woman, Louisa

I don't give her money, Dad

She gets her hands on money, God knows where she'll end up

Violet looks after the money, I

I've flatted myself, your daughter comes here because she likes her grimps

Yeah, wouldn't be it, honey

She's deep, I can't fit her

I want to help her

Dad? Dad?

You all feel better, aren't you?

Oh, yeah

Mum said she was on the mend

Yeah, well, she's

Stuffing me full of binges and all that, so

How can I file the mend?

I don't know, the old world is empty

Empty?

There's a paper I love

Dear Major

But we were all playing the piano and singing one of Nick's songs

They're good songs

But she's so old-fashioned, she's so wrapped up in herself

I can't move, I can't do anything without asking her without her approval

I'm grown woman

She doesn't see me at all, she just sees what she wants me to be

Lottie, come here

There, one little perch, hey?

Perch is the right word

I'm just a damn silly bird in a golden cage

Shush, now, shush

Your mother cares for you, worries over you

No, I'm glad I found you

Yeah, yeah

Mm, late in the day

I should have had to get away from that

Get clear of her in that hotel, I hate that hotel

You mustn't do anything foolish

You can't do anything foolish without money, Gramps

That's a modicum of truth in that remark, I suppose

Although there is such a thing as being driven to a life of sin, through one

Well, well, so

You won't be a sinner

I've got a voice

I've got a voice, I know that

I've got the right personality, I know that

When I get up and sing, I know how to put it over, I know what to do on stage

I just know, it's sort of instinct

But I have to develop my voice

I need technique, proper breathing and lads

I need lessons from a decent teacher

I need money, Nick can't afford to go on

Have you told your mother all this?

She won't begin to listen

Oh, she should understand?

She doesn't want to understand me

Can't you earn this money?

It would take so long

I need to be starting now, while I'm young and attractive, it's youth that counts

I see

In a few years, I shall have wrinkles

God, it's all too damn sick, Nick

Well, don't swear, I don't care to hear you, Swear

Sorry, Gramps

Nick would help me, but he's got no money, I can't ask him

You see that clock over there?

Bring it here, will you?

Here, here we go, I open the back, move the little catch

Right, then, close it, put it back, please

78 pounds, 10 little hotty

What?

Well, that, up with the lessons

Gramps?

Gramps?

I was saving it for a little holiday

I can't take it, I can't

You can, and you will

Oh, Gramps, all-in-horrible, horrible, I come here worrying you

Naughty girl, eh?

I'm so sorry

Shush now

This money, your holiday

No chance, now?

Might make you better

78 pounds, 10, saved over the years

Put it away

Use it, well, my little love, spread your wings

This holiday?

One of those dreams that make the world go round

When I'm rich

I was thinking of a sort of little cruise

I had an idea of going to see

When I was a boy, one of those silly, child-shire ideas

But I was apprentice to a clockmaker

Sit on an adventure all day long

Little room, okey and stuffy

Full of clocks, all ticking

But you love clocks

Hey, crew on me, you might say

Gramps, when I'm rich, you shall cruise all around the world

So when I got me and I made him his benches and a bit of bread and butter and took it up

He was laying back on his pillar, staring out, dead as a dole nail

And I'd been fast to around

I had a job to break his grip

She never turned an air, looked pale, all eyes

How long has it been like this, I said?

Since morning, she said

You cannot be back with a feather

And you said there like this all that time, I said

I couldn't leave you, she said

Good-bye

They're thinking about

I mean a der rage, holding hands with a corpse all day

Scug guts, I'll say that for her

Well now, a new life begins

What exactly does that mean?

I suppose it means I'll be on my own

Oh, you're sorry Grandmother

No, to be honest, no

Well, I should have seen poor dad

Oh, he had a good life by and large

He's the one who got cut off in his prime, God rest him

I take it that you'll keep up my lance, Louisa

Why is it always money?

Because it buys things

You're pretty sharp with a pen in yourself, Louisa

First, I shall have a little loyalty

Paid for a berm eat?

No, earned instead a bit put by, I know

I shan't ask you for any more than I've ever tried to

Right, I'm your mother

I know I don't mean as much to do as if I ever did, but I am your mother

No, I pray fair

I'll fill a couple of rooms

You can take in lodges

Paying guests

Should do well

Been breakfast, evening meal

Sort of little bentink as you might say

He's helped me back, you know

There's a lot of things I might have done if I hadn't married him

Marriage is just too silly

I mean, two people tied to each other for life

Come rain, come snow, it's just too silly

Well, no, we know what you're reading

If you like

No, I don't like

I'm all fit, Louisa

She doesn't have to think for herself as you have

Your mother went her own way

Nothing I said ever stopped her

More tea, Louisa

No, I think so, I've got to go and can't do any of any all day

Let me know if there's anything of it you want

I'm selling his clocks

You want?

Well, no good clinging to the dead

And I can't go winding up that lot every now and then, can I?

Some of them are quite valuable

I'd like that when I'm on the chest in your bedroom

I used to while it together when I was a kid

Only when I could raise the terms

Poor dad

Yeah, he's saying that

Might I have his watch?

Not worth much

Not to sell

He showed me it's works, he made them

Lotty

I'll get him there

No using hanging about

I've got no one though

You've got me?

No

Naughty

Oh, no

It's gone

What was that then?

No, no, some £8 10 in the back of his ear clock

He was saving him up

He used to put in a bit every Friday

We went up there after giving him his keeping

I know he did

And I used to count it when he was at work

I counted on the Tuesday before he passed over when he was asleep

I haven't touched it since then

I mean he didn't seem right in him laying there all cold so where is it?

He can't have taken it with him, can he?

I mean, I laid him out

He only got thumbs up in the back pocket of his best trousers so where is it?

Perhaps he's in it somewhere, he'll take this and this

I'm going through his things

Oh, it's a good job I ain't sold no clocks nor send his clothes off

I can't see

In the space of three weeks he's come and gone

Oh hell

Mrs. Trotter will miss him

Will she?

If I've had a close

She never said

She never told me

She never tells me anything

Why didn't she take me to see him sooner if she really is my mother

Oh, she's dead, alright

She wouldn't tie herself to such knots over a stranger

Knots

Then come on Auntie Gwynne, do your stuff

Oh

There, now I've never seen a cup like that before

Really?

So, so profuse?

She means a lot of tea leaves

No flowers, masses of flowers, springing up from the darker

And all there for your picking with returns

Oh, a life full of flowers, great bunches of flowers, your arms full of flowers

Oh, I'd be a film, Starmis Lottie

Oh no, it's the stage for me

I'll get a date up north perhaps with Nick and we'll try a few things out

Oh, I wouldn't do that, if I were you

No, no, no, start at the top where you belong

You've got to learn to think big thoughts, girl

The theatres for big people

My god, you're done right

I'll do it, I'll show them all

Oh, you're still up to your old tricks, Mrs. Davis?

I want you to grant out that rubbish by now

I don't mind what you do in your own time

It's time his mind, I pay for it

Op it, Lottie

Mary, don't encourage the girl to come in here

It seemed to be making the glasses smaller, now, dude

Please, don't change my image, will you?

No, I'll never will

Feds a bit older

Ah, no, frittin' old girl

Lottie

Mottie

Mm, let me look at you

Yeah, well, can we look at her later on?

Uh, refreshments for the major in my room start?

No, no

I'm glad to see you, Major

Well, I'm struck camp the moment I got your letter

Hey, let's put you in your old room

Oh, stand it

Sit down, Major

You're tired

And you look pale

Very pale and drained

Dad, Dad

Is that why you asked me to come?

No, no, no, no, after I wrote you

Everything happens at once

What's wrong with me?

Wrong?

What's missing?

Well, I have something missing

I wouldn't have thought

Some vital part

Oh, just don't say you might

Oh, I don't know

No

Sorry about your father

Yeah, well

I loved him, didn't I?

Oh, I would have thought soon

Nice traveling

And I love Charlie?

Yes

So what are my feelings for Lottie?

Happy at once, though

I can't further my

You had a daughter

What would you expect, Tobba?

There's the rabbit

Nothing if I could possibly help myself

Do you expect of Lottie?

Everything

Or do I?

You are, of course, a very single-minded woman

Oh, Esmerter, you've done a lot for me

A lot for other people, given a lot's, helps

It only when it fitted with your ideas of people and behaviour

Yeah, well, no, a snob

A form of selfishness, if you think about it

I don't know

I wonder best for Lottie?

The cry of every parent I've ever known

I tried to think of Charlie with him

Always remember this, my dear, Charlie was not concerned with convention

I tried to think of Charlie with him

Always remember this, my dear, Charlie was not concerned with convention

And neither of you

Lottie has her right to be the same

I knew I should have made you

You were meant to be my loving baby

So what in the past, me?

I wonder

Maybe it's you

You are coming on

There's quality there

I know

It's not vanity, I just sort of know

You're going to be a riot, my little Lottie

Careful?

What?

I'm not yours

You know what I mean?

Perhaps

But I'm taking no chances, we've set our boundaries and we stick to them

I'm sorry Lottie, I'll be more careful in future

You wouldn't work out with me anyway

That's alright then

We don't want any ties, I want to be free, I don't want to be free

You don't get hard, my love

You'll take a lot of knocks, unless I'm losing your grandad, don't get hard

And all this must be vulnerable, no use to man or beast

You sound like an old man

As old as the hills

I shall have to find somewhere else to live

I shall walk a bento-coats house

It's too humiliating
