ional theater.

Gosh, the Germans almost reached Paris.

They're doing terribly well.

They're not doing so well here.

I've heard a letter from Daddy.

He's interrogated to capture German patrol near Voy, who are furious that they were caught,

because they were using a British map.

And it was seven miles wrong.

Serves them right.

It's daddy quite safe.

Yes, I think he is.

Ellsberg.

I think I really must do something to help the war effort.

And they need volunteers urgently in the hospital in Nairobi.

What about here?

Well, the coffee's all planted.

It's hardly a perfectly well coped.

It's what to do with you, really.

Oh, I'll be all right.

I can't leave you here alone.

I could sleep over at the Nemos.

This is Nemos coming to the hospital, too.

Anyway, we really must do something about your education.

And the Robinsons have kindly offered to have you.

Not the pig Robinsons.

You mustn't call them that.

Mr. Robinson is quite an important businessman in Nairobi.

Box Waller.

Ellsberg.

They're really, very nice.

And they've got a governess.

Don't want to go a bit.

Well, he must blame the Kaiser.

It's all his fault.

Must I?

I'm afraid so, darling.

But it won't be for very long.

The war will be over quite soon, I'm sure.

Supposing the Germans win.

I don't know.

I mean, they won't anyway.

Where was the field of the Cloth of Gold?

Violet?

Um, somewhere in Italy?

No.

Margaret?

Anyone?

Ty!

It was working Henry the Ex of England, and King Francis the First of France,

met in 1520.

Correct, Ellsberg.

Which English queen put another queen to death?

Queen Elizabeth put Mary Stuart to death in 1587.

Correct.

I can see Ellsberg is going to keep us all on our toes.

And now, let us look for a moment at the 17th century.

A very different matter.

The Stuart dynasty.

Now then, Susan, who was King James the First's only son?

He was beheaded in Whitehall.

Oh, Charles the First.

Yes. Good.

Excuse me.

Not his only son.

He had an elder brother, Prince Henry, who died in 1612.

Well, we are misnol, aren't we?

And when you address me, you refer to me as misrament.

Yes, misrament.

Now you'll see how good your Latin is.

I'm afraid I haven't done any Latin, misrament.

My mother does not think it's necessary.

Well, I consider it not only necessary, but essential.

Even Wishill School children learn Latin.

We won't hold up the others now, but perhaps you'd copy out the first

declension after your rest hour this afternoon.

And else, if you don't learn about in your chair.

And before you come to class, make an effort to title yourself.

Look at your hair and your hands.

We try to look like young ladies in this household.

Yes, misrament.

Wasn't.

Wasn't.

Us march, you can march, you can do anything.

Amo, amas, elspasenas.

Oh, shut up and go away, please.

Don't you talk to my sister like that.

Stupid dirty little beast.

First thing you do is to put Miss Raybarm in a bait.

Miss Noel.

She smells.

She stinks like a native.

Miss, don't smell.

Of course they do.

They don't.

Most of my friends are natives.

No wonder you're just like one.

That's why her hair is all slimy and horrible.

Er.

Get up!

Shut up and you'll be horrible little girl.

Come on, Marge.

Help!

Oh, my vicious.

Gee.

Oh, my vicious.

Gee.

Oh, my vicious.

Gee.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Gee.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh, my vicious.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

I didn't like to talk to her really.

I'm skipping work.

No.

Get your ball.

Get your ball.

Hey.

Hey.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Get your ball.

Hey.

Get your ball.

Hey.

Shoot.

Oh.

Hey.

Shoot.

Shoot.

Go on your good beast.

In you go.

If you scream or anything, we'll come back and kill you.

Oh, no.

No, no, let us do.

You're not like that.

Well, let's get it straight then.

Oh, no.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh!

I'm not testing to be one of the world's great bedmates.

These ladies, this is not a coffee morning at the club.

May I remind you that you have volunteered to come here to help in the War plays at?

When you have finished the beds, the floor needs to do.

And there are still plenty of mosquito nets to be mended in the linen room.

Well, I must say I resent being treated like a dirty skilie.

Me, who was a nursing sister in the Emperor Royal Infirmary.

We volunteered to know as casualties from the front.

As there aren't any, all likely to be any.

Why don't we un-volunteer?

We'd be much better employed on our farms, growing vegetables and making jam.

Things that are really short.

Hooray!

Natron, here's your first un-volunteer.

I'm going to go to the house.

We're right.

Where are they?

Come right in.

What are you going to do?

Go and find my mother.

She made it run away.

Gosh.

Wish I did.

Good luck.

Thanks, Margie.

Bye.

Sorry I kicked you.

I didn't mean to.

I didn't mean to.

I just thought we'd sing this happy song of this happy day.

As we go on to the Torah.

The Torah.

The Torah.

The Torah.

The Torah.

The Bible.

The Torah.

The Torah.

The Torah.

Come along, thank you, lovely lads.

Come on, dancing.

Hey, what's right?

Some lovely white bread.

Hey, Zato, your friend.

Listen, it is clean and white,

as anything is ever big.

My father's safe.

In text return.

Where the hell's west of town?

Ah, just cut my hand to the right of the shop.

Come on now, come on.

This dog's bringing darkness and put on peace.

Come on, beautiful boy.

I'll give you some more.

I'll give you some more.

I'll give you some more.

I'll give you some more.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

All right.

Say stop.

Stop.

Ten of diamonds.

Did he do it?

He's so old.

Always walk around with an egg behind you.

There's one.

Let's see if we can get it.

What's wrong?

Elsper!

Ian, hello.

I am the army.

Yes, I am.

Corporal Barker's horse.

On our way down south to the Kilimanjaro Front.

What are you doing?

Oh, just going back to the Pika.

My father's down at boy.

You see Ian?

You bring my life.

Yes, I will.

Elsper, will you take this?

It's made from the hares of a lion's tail.

It was a brave fellow.

One of the bravest of them to come across.

Pull in, creature back at light horse.

Tree to the boundaries.

On our side.

Pull in.

Good luck.

Fairy!

Come on!

I need fun.

I need fun.

Chambal.

Chambal.

Chambal.

And get rid of the corn and the melons.

One of the chambal.

One of the chambal.

I will see it somewhere.

basket dong.

What have you been doing?

Sorry.

I've been absolutely frantic about you.

Everyone has.

The Robinsons never stopped telegraphing.

I was just going to the police station.

Oh, I'm sorry.

What have you been doing?

I've been absolutely frantic about you.

Everyone has.

I've been telegraphing.

I was just going to the police.

I'm sorry.

As if there isn't enough to worry about with daddy at the war.

I mean, why did you run away?

It was awful.

Why weren't you at the hospital?

Have you been fighting?

You're all scratched and bruised.

What was so awful then?

Oh, everything.

I hated it.

They made me do Latin.

You'll have to do Latin when you go to a proper school.

The Robinsons wasn't a proper school?

No.

Well...

Only did I go back.

No, you're here.

Go and get clean.

And write a letter of apology to Mrs. Robins.

Oh, no, better still, I'll telegrap.

What I'll say, Lord knows.

But you still write that letter?

One pound of red sauce, two pound of garlic.

Mind your fingers for that knife.

Or is it the boil for that one on my knife?

Oh, quenco is a moor pulp who shred the peel.

Then add one pound of sugar to every pound of puree

and boil for far the half hour.

Are you sure you need so much sugar, Maggie?

Oh, yes.

This recipe came to me from my grandmother, who was famous for her marmalade all over Edinburgh.

She had it from her mother, whose housekeeper at Abbotsford.

So Walter Scott himself loved the stuff.

He said it eased the cramps in his stomach.

Well...

Here goes.

That's it.

I think we're going to have enough jars.

Oh.

I read somewhere that you can make jars from old bottles.

You tie twine around the neck, then you set fire to it,

then you plunge the bottle into cold water.

Let's give it a try then.

What on earth is that?

How did that get there?

That is what I'm asking you, Juma.

Perhaps it failed from the ceiling.

Oh, is that the custom in this kitchen?

Do rats fall every day from the ceiling?

Or do they jump up from the floor?

Well, rats come to sugar like rides to a rich man.

I have told the mamsa she must build a new kitchen.

As big and fine as these tables she builds for her houses.

But she does not listen.

So how can I keep the rats out?

Well, you can get rid of this one for a start.

And then throw away the marmalade.

Throw away all these good sugar.

Do as I say.

Oh.

Oh.

Now pour the rest away.

Oh!

Oh.

Cut myself.

Throw away good marmalade.

Oh, lettuce has cut to finger.

Well, it's those wretched bottles.

Look, look, you're bleeding into the marmalade.

You should add that to your grandmother's recipe.

Very strengthening and improves the flavor.

No end.

Come in, lettuce.

I'll tie it up for you.

That won't replace rats to moustache, Gina.

Rats?

In the marmalade.

Oh.

May I have one of your cigarettes?

Of course.

Oh.

Here, let me.

Hera would let me pages and pages of things to do on your farm.

I haven't done any of them.

I'm useless.

What am I to do, Tilly?

You know what I think.

I know.

It just seems so ridiculous.

Just a few short weeks ago, I was all ready to run away with Ian

and abandon Hera would.

Now Ian's off chasing Germans.

They're not chasing him.

And Hera would in France determined to become a hero.

Of course, it's Ian I shall wait for.

But I know Hera would wear pears out.

Poor Hera would.

Life is nothing to him.

He will discard it, and we will have him with us for the rest of our lives.

Every time we open a cupboard, we will see this skeleton quietly standing there to attention.

Why do all the men so desperately want to become sold to boys?

No.

Don't know.

Alec Wilson's rushed off to Nairobi to join up.

Even Robin is busy being quite bellicose.

Oh, the sword sharpening is most unlike him.

Once they hear the trumpets, they seem to be drawn like a magnet.

Thank you, Tilly.

Without you, I couldn't stick it out here.

Oh, see.

It's true.

Now, will I have them, my little dogs and my piano?

And Ian.

Hello, Alec.

Hello, Alec.

What are you doing?

I'm going to have an orange shumber of my own.

Splendid.

Then you can sit at dusk with hummingbirds flying round your head, and I will come and play

the dulcemer.

Are you going to be a soldier?

No.

The idiots in Nairobi turned me down.

Said there was more use as a farmer.

There was nearly over.

Isn't it?

Far from it.

The Germans have given us a good hiding at a hill called Longito in the south.

I hope my father's all right.

Oh, I think so.

What is that you have made, Mimsabundog?

It is a hill with Germans on it.

Germany.

Hey, they are bad men.

Have you no guns?

Yes, because I run out of ammunition.

You must take your sword in the water.

I'm not a bad man.

You're a bad man.

You're a bad man.

You're a bad man.

You're a bad man.

You're a bad man.

Yes, because I run out of ammunition.

You must take your sword in the water.

Run over them and slit their stomachs, and they will die like this.

Mm.

Mm.

But the other one at the table is full of salt.

Mm.

Mm.

It's all about the day.

What a delicious smell.

I expect it's our marmalade.

Smells just like a lovely liqueur.

Hope I haven't distilled it.

Chin up.

Bye, Alec.

Bye, Elizabeth.

Goodbye, Alec.

Bye, Tilly.

Are you coming for an evening ride?

No, not today, darling.

Why don't you go without me?

Or...

Sit down, read a book or something.

Go and see how George and Mary are.

I'll...

...else, Beth.

I'm afraid Ian Crawford has been killed.

How awful.

Yes.

On that tail.

Yes.

Long Edo.

It's horrid for us, but it's...

...it would be even worse for poor lettuce.

Yes.

You see,

Ian was really the parmest friend.

I think we ought to ask lettuce to stay if she wants.

Yes, of course.

Would you ask some jumbo to get my pony ready?

I think I better go over myself.

You found your lover, Signia.

He gave you to me.

Remember?

She belonged to a rass, who's a kind of prince.

It's made from the hares of a lion's tail.

He was a brave fellow.

One of the bravest I've ever come across.

Full in, three trip Barker's line, horse.

Three trip Barker's.

I must go.

Oh, well.

He was a hero, Muy Ali.

He shall go back to England as quickly as possible.

And take the dogs with me.

And then bring them back again.

If I come back.

But you can't not come back.

This may seem like home to you.

But I don't really belong here.

It's a cruel country.

It takes your heart and grinds it into powdered stone.

And no one minds.

But what will happen to your farm?

Stop asking so many questions.

She doesn't ask questions, how she finds things out.

Anyway, it's past your bedtime.

You come as they good night to me.

Please, Lettuce.

Yes.

Hello.

Would you like me to read something to you?

Yes, thank you very much.

I'm going to read something to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're too big to be read to me.

Yes.

Well, good night.

Sleep well.

I've got something for you.

For me?

Not an animal, I hope.

It's not mine, really.

It was something I was given.

It was something I was given.

If it was given to, then it is yours.

But...

But I think it was really meant for you.

It's made of lions hair.

From the tail.

How did you...

Ian gave it to me?

I met him on the station in Nairobi.

He wanted.

He was very happy.

Well, if his name was a jolly good candor.

Hey, he's probably a young friend of ours.

He's stuffy with your work.

And he's a highlights person's

ockey.

So go view that.

What are you doing in your heart?

A Dingo.

You're one of surely you're joining us this morning?

Don't do it again.

Now you and me all going down,

Daddy!

And?

Oh, they're marvellous.

I shall start a collection.

How long have you got?

Till tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yes.

You see, I have orders to take.

This business out here is really only a side show.

I...

I should say I was on Wednesday.

What about the farm?

It's all organized.

And elsewhere, isn't it?

You're on a waiting list for a passage home.

It shouldn't take too long.

And I saw Alec at the blue posts and between him and the major,

they're going to keep an eye on him.

And I saw him on the major, they're going to keep an eye on Sammy and the farm until we come back.

How I hate this beastly war.

Who doesn't?

You don't. Not really.

You love playing soldiers.

No.

But it's better to face up to these things, especially if they're inevitable.

But I do absolutely hate leaving you and Elspeth and this place.

Which we've made together and put so much of ourselves into.

We must come back.

Yes, of course.

It seems so silly.

When they need food so badly, they don't make you stay on as a farm.

I'm sorry.

Well, I don't know if that's it.

Oh my God.

It's the marmalade. It must be fermenting.

Simple!

That way you'll never come back again.

And maybe I'll never come back again.

I cankeepers.

I'm milumnus.

I can't even find under the flood permit.

The rough is not theIAO, we've been the power hasn't been talked about since itself,

but I think it's often the moment we're living here right now.

Go on, keep those together.

Dusty Manfare.

It's the same for everyone.

Everyone European that is.

Half the cattle and all the riding ponies to be requisitioned for the war.

Government order.

All ponies?

Not Muyale.

Well, perhaps we could cheat with Muyale.

After all, she's much too fat to be of any use.

She's not fat.

I put her down as Robin's personal charger.

But Robin's already on his way home.

Yes.

But they're not to know that.

Have no fear, monsiept and dogo.

About you are five as the Shamba.

We will look.

We will look.

Until all the German are killed.

See, I'll see you in the other hand.

Then, about you are a white pony.

Me?

Me?

Me?

Me?

Me?

Me?

Me?

Me to redeem?

All.

And then, Jumbo will feed him.

When you return, from Europe you'll see him.

Big, strong, like a buffalo.

TheLittle Powers screams.

Sh mapping Shawnoff like a pursued by me.

You must take this to Europe and we are for us.

This speed like our people.

Blue, men and white women and between white and blue children.

We are in the same way as you are.

Then when you go to Europe and we are in it, you always come back to us.

Good!

No, thank you.

The traveler don't give up the present for people who stay in C.C.A.Panna.

You traveler, Cindia.

You are a farmer.

Cindia, you are a farmer.

Head Xin sage!!

This is good!

Looks like sea Saladin Lynison feast!

I see some on the bed!

I see some on the bed!

That is what Prairie Park likes too!

It looks like y Elite!

I serve my son to the sun.

I serve my son to the sun.

I serve my son to the sun.

I serve my son to the sun.

Hi, I'm ready.

I'm ready.

I'm ready.

Oh, my, I do so wish.

I can stay here with you and all my friends.

Yeah.

You must be here.

Which one's George?

Which one's Mary?

Never quite sure.

But I think that's George's fair,

because he looks so smug and pleases himself.

There really no trouble.

You can totes them for hours,

and they'll never get cross a lancer back.

I'll be back.

Promise.

If you want to be sure you'll come back,

you must kiss all the four walls of the living room

before you go.

Really?

Sammy, what's this?

That is Juma's luggage.

Juma?

He is going with you.

Juma?

Check this for me, will you?

Yes, Momma.

I can't remember what I'm talking about.

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

He is the only one who can meet me.

I can't remember.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Juma.

Sammy tells me you think you're coming with us.

Yes, of course, Momma.

I'm your cook.

I'm sorry.

Momma said, I'm your cook.

I'm sorry, Juma.

I'm afraid you cannot come.

You see, Europe is many...

It's thousands of miles away.

And very cold.

I do not mind that.

I won't need a cook there so much.

We have cooks in Europe.

But I am your cook.

I'm sorry, Juma.

But everything's different.

The house is different.

I don't know where you'd sleep.

Are there no kitchens in Europe?

I don't even have a house in Europe.

I'm sorry, Juma.

Truly, you cannot come.

So that's how you treat me.

Because I'm black.

I'm not a black.

Two brush?

Yes.

Airbrush?

Yes.

That's all like that.

Don't you worry about the fog.

Thank you, Alec.

Dear, Alec.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Bye, Alec.

Mwah.

Goodbye.

You take care.

Sir, hello to England for me.

Yeah, hello.

Goodbye, Maggie.

Come back soon, Tilly.

Take care of yourself, Rolf.

Goodbye, Miss Snimmer.

Good girl, dear.

Yes.

I shall miss you.

I shall really.

Safe journey, Miss.

Thank you, Sammy.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Maolie.

Big old girl, I'll come back soon.
