I had this kind of dream, child.
What was it, Auntie?
A baby, child. What baby?
It was small.
What color was it? White.
Go on. You're only dreaming.
I talked to Matron.
What, Matron? What did Matron say?
She said she was looking for you. Every day she's looking for me.
I'm standing right there, she's looking for me. You weren't there, Rosie.
I saw. You weren't there.
Mummy, look what Mali cut for you.
Oh, aren't they lovely. Thank you, darling.
Is Sahib coming for dinner? Did he call?
No. No phone call, madam.
Lines are down.
But I'm making your favorite dish - prawn masala.
Thank you, Abraham.
Put those in water for me, would you? Yes, madam.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread...
and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive th-
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power...
and the glory for ever and ever.
Amen.
Rosie! Give some respect, child.
You come to church, and you start looking everywhere?
Every Tom, Dick and Harry? What Dick and Harry?
It's only the rector's son. And I have something in my eye.
Something in your eye, eh? I know what you've got in your eye.
Better listen, Rosie.
Who's going to look after you like I am?
Who got you the job at the hospital? You.
You only, Auntie. You. You, you, you.
You want to be like some kind of village girl? Jungly village girl.
Husband will give you such a nice wallop.
Send your eyes to God, Rosie. Give Him your heart.
God bless Mummy, Auntie "G."
God bless Pinky, Blossom, the sisters, Harriet and Sonny,
and God bless the Queen.
Abraham!
Ten South African school children, six boys and four girls,
have arrived in London for a two-week visit to Britain.
It's their prize in an essay competition...
organized by the British Travel and Holiday Association-
Abraham! Coming, madam, coming.
Coming.
Oh, my God!
Jesus.
It's all right, madam. Don't- Listen. I need-
You'll be all right, madam.
Hello? Operator. Yeah.
Hello? Hello, Operator?
Operator?
Don't worry. Melvin! Laloo!
You must run for Mummy. Lines are down. Sahib is gone.
Run fast. Go to hospital. Wellington Hospital.
Hurry! Go!
Oh, dear. Oh, dear, Abraham.
Quiet. She's saying a prayer.
Nurse, is madam all right? Yes.
Yes.
Good evening, Mrs. Macintosh. How are you?
All right. I'd - I'd like to speak to Dr. Martin, please.
Well, Mrs. Macintosh, Dr. Martin's gone.
He's left the country quite some time ago. Oh.
May I? Madam's milk is still not coming, Doctor.
Mm-hmm. We've tried everything. Compress, massage and all.
Nothing is coming yet, Doctor.
Madam has had a fall, some kind of accident? No, sir.
Madam's first child? Second, sir.
Is Mr. Macintosh here?
There's been no word from him, Doctor.
Bring madam's shawl, Mary.
You heard what the doctor said. Nothing bad is going to happen to you.
Everything's going to be fine.
Try for Matron. Try.
I have tried. It doesn't work.
You heard what the doctor said. The child must eat.
I must speak with Dr. Correa. Please take the child, Mary.
This is God's child, madam.
This is a child from God, madam.
What are you talking about?
You are so lucky, madam.
God sends this kind of child to show you, madam,
what is love, madam.
Don't lose your courage, madam. I'm here.
And don't listen to anybody.
These Indian nurses don't know anything.
I'm half English, madam.
Anglo-Indian.
Oh, here, madam.
Let me show you.
My mother was from here only.
But I'm more like my father.
Same eyes and all.
Oh, madam.
Come, madam, come.
Drink it all up, madam. Drink it all up.
This will wash your system out.
Then you can feed the child.
What's your name?
Mary, madam. Cotton Mary.
This is my work now.
You go on. Do your duties.
Rosie. Rosie, come here.
The child cannot sit like this all night. It's not possible.
You take her home, and tell the man he can stay.
But Matron, my family's waiting for me.
Party, Matron.
There are so many others, staff nurse and all, you can ask someone else?
This is an emergency. I'm surprised to hear you talk like this.
Go do your duties and get ready,
and tell him you'll be taking over.
Yes, Matron.
As soon as I finish my rounds, I'll be taking the girl.
Matron's orders.
Eat something, mummy girl.
You'll feel better soon, love.
Oh, I won't feel better, and I'll never be able to feed the baby.
Oh, madam, don't talk like that.
You will feel better. The baby will be better.
And what will master say? He'll be so happy to see his little baby girl.
He'll say it's all my fault. Oh, no, madam.
Baby will be fine, madam.
She's just very weak.
And madam must rest now.
Mary-ma? Auntie? Are you there?
Shh.
Matron ordered me to take Macintosh madam's child home. Shh, shh, shh, shh.
I can't believe it. Mugs and all were waiting for me.
We were going to have a party. It's not fair, Ma.
Why so much fuss for these people?
If it was Indian child, Matron won't care like this.
A child is a child, Rosie.
Why do you talk about India this, India that? Listen to you.
Child is like me only.
I can't leave this child with these hospital people. Madam won't like it.
If a child's not meant to live, there's nothing you can do.
God is my witness, Rosie.
Nothing is going to happen to this child. I swear on my mother's life.
But you're not a doctor, Ma.
I will know the way. God will show me the way.
You know, Ma, I think she wants to sack me.
She's always after me, no?
Ah, yes, yes, Rosie.
Everyone's always after you.
Auntie, look. See what Mummy wrote.
You must talk to her. She's desperate.
Matrimonials. I'll read it to you.
"One educated, lily-white girl...
"looking for one educated bachelor.
Fair-skinned preferred. Balance of East/West values desired. "
Lily-white, lily-black. How many colors God sees, Rosie?
You must listen, or you lose all self-respect, child.
Matron was rushing me so much, I didn't have any time to get dressed.
I have to go to a party, you know.
What to do? Just sit there, please.
Come. Theresa, I have to go find a friend.
You stay here and wait, then I'll come soon.
Shall I come with you? No, no. Better to stay and watch, no?
Will you be back soon? Five minutes!
I'll just be there, near the statue. You can see me from here, no?
Don't worry. I won't be long.
Ah!
I've been looking for you.
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Try the other side.
She can't go on like this.
Mary, call the doctor.
I'll look after her, Matron. It's no use.
And if something happens, who's to take the blame?
Go on. Call him in.
There you are! Where did you go?
I've been looking for you everywhere.
What if something were to happen to you, who would have taken the blame?
But I was right here! Come on! They could be frantic by now.
You'll walk with us, Mugs?
Jesus Christ, our Savior,
we are praising You as a loving gift from above.
Please. Please help me.
I have her, madam. I have her.
I will look after her, madam.
I'll feed her.
She's gone to sleep.
Good child. No, no, no, don't cry.
Thank you.
Oh, sister.
Oh, sister, what is up? Something happened, sister?
Child's mother couldn't give milk. British lady.
She came to the hospital tonight.
I'm worried that the child will die, Blossom. Uh-huh.
I don't know if it can take mother's milk. Early child.
Give her to Blossom. Let her try.
Oh, what a beautiful baby.
What a sweet little baby it is.
A beautiful baby.
Just like those old days.
Oh, my little one.
We will see which baby doesn't have my milk.
Blossom will do it.
Come on.
Come on, Baba. Come on.
Come on, darling. Come on. Drink.
Your English madam was looking for you. Matron was looking for you too.
So what?
Auntie, I was looking for you.
Looking, looking. Look at yourself, Rosie.
What? What's wrong, Auntie? Check yourself, Rosie.
Why are you so angry? Go on, Rosie.
Your mind is somewhere else.
You took the baby to Blossom, Auntie?
She's my sister, no? Why shouldn't I take her?
Good morning. Look at Baba.
See? She is so fine.
So what did the doctor say?
Is she going to be all right? No need to talk.
Please.
I can give special care.
Nothing to fear.
Later on, child can take from the bottle.
But now it must take mother's milk.
I will look after her. You must trust me.
How can you feed her? What did she eat?
I must know.
Look here, madam.
We have our ways.
Hello. Uh, where is Mrs. Macintosh?
Come.
Madam, madam, master's here. Daddy!
Daddy! Hello, sweetheart! Ooh!
What took you so long? Come on, give me a kiss.
Sir, as matron of this hospital, which was a British hospital,
I must tell you that we have taken only the best care of your family.
Now, what are we going to call you?
She is, uh, a little small, isn't she?
We'll fatten her up, sir. Come, nurse.
I'll take her now, sir. Madam is still very weak, sir.
She needs to build up her strength, sir.
Come. Come. Leave Mummy and Daddy alone.
Bye.
John, the baby's not well. She'll be all right.
You're just upset that I wasn't here.
Why didn't you call? I couldn't call from the middle of the jungle.
The doctor says she's not fully developed.
He says that she can't process her food properly.
She seemed fine to me. You can't believe everything the bloody doctor tells you.
She's like a little weaver bird that's fallen out of her nest.
I wish you'd been at home. I wish you hadn't have left.
Maybe this wouldn't have happened. Darling,
I have to work.
The doctor wants to see you. He wants to talk to you...
this afternoon.
Why does he want to talk to me?
He wants to explain everything.
It's very complicated. It's-
I haven't told you all of it.
But what can I do? You're the one he should talk to.
I can't do anything about all this.
Look, if something's really wrong with her, let's take her back to England,
sort it out there.
For Christ sakes, Lily, I just walked in the door five minutes ago.
Yes. Yes, it's all right.
How was your trip? Did you get your story?
Hey! Babu! Babu!
Take the tape!
I forgot to tell the driver to drop the tape off. I'll be back in a minute.
Oh, madam, madam.
Oh, madam.
What are we going to do? I'll look after you, madam.
Can you come with us?
Come home with us.
Of course, madam. Nothing can stop me.
It's so exhausting to bring her downstairs each time.
Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you, Bunny. Thank you.
Gwen, leave her to me. I'll manage.
Take me there. You're going to feel much better over here.
It's cooler here, you know.
Aunt Mattie, please do a good job of keeping her up,
otherwise nobody will want to hire her.
We can't rely on these kind of people, Mattie.
Look, there's Mary. Straighten yourself up, Blossom.
Hello, sister. The child is hungry.
Hello. Hello, Blossom. Hello, sister.
No. What, Blossom?
I can't feed the child, sister.
The doctor said the child must eat, or it's going to die.
It's too weak, Blossom. You know I have to wait for madam to come.
All my children are like that. Not one is different.
Wait for madam? But she's sick!
She's lying in the bed!
She's still sick?
Uh-huh.
And madam has asked me to come home with her...
and look after the child.
She needs my help, sister!
Hospital is finished. My life is with this child now.
Oh. You're going home with the child?
To an English house?
Then you'll tell us all about the parties, no? The food and all.
Oh, sister. Feed her, Blossom.
Wonderful, Mary. You're so lucky.
Some food. Huh? Come on.
Macintosh master is good-looking, huh?
Chi, what a jungly girl you are.
New shoes, Mary?
Madam gave me. She has exactly same size.
You could ask Mary to make you one of those garlands.
You know, a lovely string of jasmine, like the Indian girls wear.
And Red Cross helpers at Victoria Station-
Theresa, cornflakes! You better go have breakfast.
Ah, Mary. Good morning. How's Baba? I was wondering where you were.
You're not to go off like that without telling me. Yes, madam. Baba's fine.
She just now went to sleep.
Morning, Daddy. Good morning, sweetheart.
I met with Dr. Correa yesterday, and he examined the baby.
Excuse me.
So sorry.
He said she's still terribly underweight.
He said she may have to go back to the hospital if she doesn't improve.
Baba has improved, madam. She's eating very well.
John, are you listening?
Yes. Of course I'm listening.
This chap seems to think we've nothing better to do...
than run backwards and forwards to the hospital.
He's doing special tests. Of course we have to go to the hospital.
Better ask madam for a new jacket, eh, Abraham? Yes, sir.
I take care of things like that. You don't need to worry yourself about them.
I haven't had time to buy a new uniform. You've plenty of time now.
You need a new jacket, don't you, Abraham?
You're not going already?
I got a call last night from a tea plantation...
about an Englishman who was killed by his own workers.
How dreadful. I'll call you as soon as I can. Promise.
Look after Mummy.
Abraham, you can show Mary the larder this morning.
Yes, madam. We may be needing some more supplies.
Yes, madam.
That's enough, Theresa!
Lemon curd.
Everything is finished here?
Madam wants something more? Mm-hmm.
Madam gives you the keys?
Yes. I am madam's right-hand man.
If you want anything for Sahib, ask me also.
Mm-hmm! Madam's right-hand man.
Madam's right-hand man.
We'll have to wait and see who will be asking who, my man.
Anyway, how do you know it will grow?
Every night you must pull your hair very tight from the root,
and then plait it to the very end.
But I want to cut it like Mummy's hair.
Later, when you are older, then you can cut it.
Not now.
You know what I saw by the hospital before we left?
What, sweetie? A snake!
A black one.
Aha! I told you, that's the hair snake.
He knew you wanted to cut your hair.
He comes to find these girls, once every month.
Did you see it too? Of course!
And if you cut your hair, next time he might try and bite you.
Really? Of course!
Why else do you think I keep on growing my hair?
Mary? What, sweetie?
What's wrong with my sister?
Nothing's wrong, darling.
She is God's child. Special child.
But she's so small.
Madam is lucky.
Big baby is too costly.
Small baby doesn't take too much food.
Mary.
Is this another trick of your union? Hmm? We don't want any violence.
Any excuse to throw us out.
Uh, John Macintosh, BBC World Service, reporting for the Delhi Bureau.
I see. Inspector Raj. Delhi Bureau? I don't want to interfere,
but I'd like to interview some of these people, uh, about the murder.
Ashok, get me the other man.
Get me the man. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Come on.
What have you to say?
We haven't done anything.
I understand, Inspector, that the, uh, unions...
have been trying to recruit support among tea workers, with some success.
Is this true?
Yes, it is true.
These British, they have to go!
The "Britishers" think they can go where they want.
This will not do. Out of Munar tomorrow!
You will have to go!
What does the district commissioner have to say? All I have to tell you is,
these hooligans were stirred up by an outsider. Ah, hooligans!
We are hooligans? They are hooligans! Stop right there.
Let me talk to them. Listen. Stop it!
Let Gordon be an example to you! It's a warning! Please! Stop!
Listen to me. My father was a union man.
You speak English? Speak English? My father. Union.
Tell them. Tell them.
You tell me your story, I'll report it.
Okay. Press. Were there people here? Yes.
I'm from outside. Yeah? There were - Okay.
Seven people. Seven. Ah, seven people.
Come on. Cut the cards.
We're waiting for you.
Pass the cards.
Don't be too friendly with her. Let her come to you. Please.
Who lives here, Mary? You go wait downstairs, okay?
Hello, sister.
Is that Theresa?
Hello, darling.
Mummy's feeling better, I hope?
Tell her I send my regards. You go downstairs and play.
The baby is so beautiful. Go on. Go down.
But I'd like to stay here.
Not one word to Mummy and Daddy. Understand? Go.
Hello.
Ah, Mary.
Such a big room I have. Just like the house we had.
Same style, nah. Large drawing room and all.
Good people, good respect, no? Not like Indian house.
No, not like Indian house.
- Even the butler's under me. And the sweeper too. - The butler under you?
Lucky getting such a- See what I've brought.
Madam's regards.
Ooh. Ooh.
The smell is so heavenly.
Mmm, exactly lavender. Ahh!
English soap. Smell, smell.
Tell madam Blossom orders her to come.
How cheeky she's getting, after all we've done for her.
You should be more grateful. Madam will come.
But you must give more milk, sister.
I can't keep coming here every few hours, right?
Let's see.
Mrs. Macintosh? Dr. Correa will see you now.
Thank you.
Thank you for seeing me, Dr. Correa. Not at all.
How's the baby? You haven't brought her today. No.
How are you, Mrs. Macintosh?
I'm all right, thank you.
I'm afraid I'm still having a problem with the feeding.
I can't seem to get enough milk.
I was wondering if- if I might be ill.
But I gave you a thorough physical exam.
You're quite healthy. I could find nothing wrong with you.
You know, Mrs. Macintosh, this has to do with the mind sometimes,
with one's emotions.
Yes.
It could be... a rest, a trip to the hills.
Yes, that would be nice.
Doctor, I- I wondered,
were you at the hospital when Dr. Martin was working here?
He was our family physician. I remember him when I was a girl,
and he looked after my mother.
She often mentioned him in her letters.
I'm sorry. It's long before my time.
Maybe one of the nurses could help you.
Don't worry, Mrs. Macintosh. If you can't today,
then tomorrow.
- It can still happen. - Yes.
Is there something I should be doing?
Yes, I'll give you a special diet,
some special exercises too.
I'll write it out for you. Thank you.
Little by little,
you'll improve.
You can go take a rest now. I'll finish everything.
Nothing to do. All finished. There's some rice and curry in the pot.
No, I don't eat that food. It's too spicy. I don't like it.
You can go now.
I'll call you if madam needs anything.
Madam knows where to find me.
Madam knows, but I'm on duty in the afternoon.
I'm not like you people. I don't need to take a rest.
All you people like to sleep too much.
Hello, Mary.
Just-Just cleaning up, madam. That Abraham man leaves such a dirty mess.
I can't even finish my lunch.
Child is full, madam.
Madam can try, but I don't think madam's milk can come now.
This kind of child only feeds twice in a morning, madam.
Stomach is small.
Mary, how do you feed the baby?
Mother's milk, madam! Yes, but-
Otherwise this kind of child won't survive.
Doctor can talk, but you must look at the child. Only child can tell.
If you don't trust me, madam, let me go. No, no. Of course I do.
Please, madam. God is looking after this child.
Mother's milk is coming for her.
Child is not going to get sick.
Nothing is going to happen to this child.
But madam, I don't want any children eating from this kind of dirt.
Sickness will come, and then you'll blame me only.
You must tell this Abraham man.
Child's health is more important.
Yes, of course.
Of course it is.
Don't forget your bag, Pam.
I won't.
My goodness!
Why aren't you at school, dear? It's Vishnu's birthday.
Goodness, another holiday. All these holidays.
It's a wonder you get an education at all.
Oh, welcome home, Lily.
What a joy to see you.
I think of your dear mother every day.
We didn't want to come too soon, Lily,
because one's so very wretched after a baby.
But you seem to have managed quite well somehow.
Happy to be home, aren't you, dear?
Oh, look at the garden! Yes.
It's almost just as your mother left it.
Oh, all the things she loved most,
in the place she loved best of all.
Oh, Lily, what heavenly delphiniums.
Oh, yes. Aren't they?
Where did you get the seeds from?
I brought them from the garden in Surrey. Oh, did you?
They're doing rather well. And I planted an herb garden over there.
So like her dear mama. Mm-hmm.
John's from a rather ordinary background. But terribly charming.
Do come and sit down.
Glorious. Ah, how nice.
There were lots of butterflies here this morning. Yes?
I saw some very rare ones, magnificent colors.
Oh. Oh, dear.
Oh, must he do that now?
I don't give the dhobi any of our very personal items.
Certainly wouldn't trust him with any of my daughter's things.
Oh, madam, these dhobi men, they get all fired up.
They're not like our kind of men - Christian men.
We know what they're thinking. I wouldn't even give them the child's nappy.
See, I just now went to hang it up.
Oh, Mary. Why don't you ask your ayah to bring the baby?
We're all desperate to see her.
Yes. All right. Mary, why don't you go and get Baba?
- Take the flowers in for madam. - Oh, yes. Thank you, Mary.
Spectacular view, Lily.
You really must be much tougher with the servants, Lily,
or you'll end up in terrible trouble.
Let me pour the tea.
Come to the club for a good game of bridge.
Yes, you must come and spend some time with us.
I'm sure the servants are capable of looking after things.
I say, leave the babies to the ayahs and the gardens to the malis.
Oh, bring her here.
Oh, she's so tiny!
Oh, little thing. Oh, the darling. Can I hold her?
Be careful, madam. Head must be up or breathing is difficult.
Oh, aren't you beautiful.
You are going to go back to England for more tests, aren't you?
I wouldn't trust these people. Not with something like this.
Well, John has his doubts about the doctor, but I rather like him.
Too many tests are not good, madam.
This kind of child needs love only, madam.
She's just like my own child, madam. No difference.
Mary looked after the baby in hospital.
No, but why, madam! That's the truth! She is like my own child.
Lily, where is your ayah from?
- She's- - I'm from Tenga Seri, madam.
My father was an officer in the British regiment. You can ask madam.
I'm like you only.
Oh, dear.
Yes, thank you, Mary. That will be all.
Well, you must know they're particularly difficult, Lily.
Well, your mother must've told you.
Anglo-Indians have the worst characteristics of the Indians...
and the worst of the British.
Wait a minute.
"He cannot be a soldier.
"There's no room as a clerk.
"He's not wanted by the merchants.
"His skin is rather dark.
"His rise was our own father who claimed for us the land.
"That's to be one with a darky's son.
"We will not understand.
"Nor can he with the Hindu stand equally on swearing.
"But eats his fill and like John Bull,
"has English ways and airings.
"Why don't the good-for-nothings...
"pack up and emigrate and leave the run to babudom...
and go to Utah state?"
Very good, Gladys.
However did I remember that?
It's been years since I thought of it. Where did you fetch that from?
I don't know.
Oh, dear.
More tea for anyone? Oh.
Look at Mary. She's looking so smart.
See, Rosie, she's changing, no?
Beautiful pattern.
English cotton, no? Cotton Mary only likes English cotton.
Not Indian cotton, no? You bought it?
No! Madam just throws everything.
She has so many clothes. Tell us. Madam has parties?
Hmm. All the time.
I heard from Susie Auntie. Master likes big dinner parties.
She said he came to her house. Talks very well.
Master talks very well.
- Rosie told me master in BBC, reporter and all that. - He travels all the time.
When master is transferred, he will take you with him?
Of course. Who else is going to look after the child?
See, this is the kind of job I want for you.
Then you can go home to England, leave this place. Stop it, Ma.
I told her she should leave the hospital, get another job. Why to stay there?
She does not listen to Mother. Mother gives her a headache.
- It's a good place, Mary? - Why don't you come over, no?
Come. Come and see. She can start with something,
and then later on, some kind of ayah work.
I don't want ayah work! Why not? What's wrong with ayah work?
You have to start with something,
and then maybe later on you can change it.
Mary, whole world is changing. This girl is still.
Ready? Match point!
Well played.
You see? Got you on your backhand again. Thanks.
I can see you've been practicing your serve.
Come on, Abdul. Your turn to play.
Mary, please, stop clapping!
Nice to see you. Bless you. Thank you.
The chair, just a little further towards the center.
Good, good. Thank you. And the dresser, further back.
Yes. Fine. Thank you.
Mr. Panamal, please. All these chairs have to be put into rows.
And please, will you tell the others they can run along now?
Uh - They mustn't stand gaping like that.
Excuse us, ladies. I've just come to borrow the flowers.
Not much scent, though. Frieda!
Tony's fallen sick. Disaster!
Arthur's gone missing, can't find a Kitty, haven't got a play.
Oh, no. I suppose we could always ask an Indian?
He'd have to be young.
We're already using the American. John. John?
There he is. Our Lord Fancourt.
John, you've saved the day. Well done, Gladys.
What luck we found you.
Oh, you will help us. You must. You'd be marvelous.
- Wait- Wait a minute. - It'll be such fun. We need you.
- I'm not in your league, ladies, I'm afraid. - Oh, Lily, how are you, dear?
Doesn't she look like her mother today, Pam?
Wouldn't she make a wonderful Kitty?
Lily, you can be in the play. Oh, no. No.
I'd be awful. Any way, it's nearly lunchtime and I was getting a few books.
- You need a good distraction. - No, I can't, really.
- I must go. - Lily?
Well, I haven't done this since I was at school, but...
I'll give it a shot. You will?
Oh, John!
We've found our Charlie's aunt. Oh, bravo!
You are terrific. Pleasure.
So sorry everybody. Sorry for the delay.
Uh, Pam, dear. Will you read Kitty for us?
We're going from John's entrance. Thank you very much.
Yes, from Lord Fancourt's entrance. Ah, Nigel, so glad you could make it.
Girls, are you ready behind the door? Yes. Nearly.
Everybody got the right page number? John, are you ready?
Ready! All right with you, Frieda? Good, now begin.
And... cue!
I say! Look here, how's this?
Splendid. Splendid.
Door knock.
Who's that? It's the girls.
The girls? L-I must take Auntie's things off!
No, no, no, no, no, no.
- Can't stay. They won't go. - It's not nice to make master dress like that.
He doesn't need to do it.
We've been longer than we intended.
But Amy wanted to get some flowers for Charlie's aunt.
Ooh, sorry. Sorry. Frieda, quick, flowers!
Sorry, Bunny.
Has she come? Yes. Has she? I hope she has.
Oh, yes. She has! Donna Lucia,
Miss Fettigue. Miss Verdun.
Donna Lucia Salvadores, Charlie's aunt.
Go on, say something. I'm Charlie's aunt.
From Brazil. From Brazil. Brazil.
From Brazil. Where the nuts come from.
He's very good.
Very good, John.
Mr. Panamal, absolute silence at the back!
Madam wants all of the children out of the way!
Madam has to clear the space.
I have to give master some cold water. He drinks only boiled water.
I have to give it to him. You can tell your madam if you want to.
Mary, be careful. Club manager.
Bunny dear, you must speak up. They can't hear you at the back. Again, please.
I know this kind of fellow - one side here, one side there fellow.
My father was reading Shakespeare.
He doesn't know what is the play about.
I don't speak English.
I work for an English family, and I don't speak English.
He thinks he's a burra sahib.
Big man! "Gentleman of rank, no money in the bank. "
He just dresses like that. Go home and you'll see a small hut.
"Of course, my dear. It was only my duty...
to see after the welfare of my poor brother's-"
Sister's, you fool. Sister's, you fool. "Sister's and brother-in-law's...
orphan girl-" Boy! Boy-Boy!
I'll say twins in a minute.
Don't mind my talking like this to you, do you?
"My dear, you are a very charming little girl...
of whom, I am sure, I could soon grow very fond. "
Good! Good! It's all very good.
Very good and well done. Thank you very much, everybody.
I think we'll take a break.
- Some cold water for you. - Thank you.
Your throat must be dry. So much talking.
- Bunny, will you open my dress? - Yes.
I'll do it. I'll do it, master. I'll help you.
I'll do it. I'll do it.
Extraordinary behavior, don't you think?
It's so inappropriate. I'm worried about Lily employing her.
I think she's rather odd.
Hello. These are lovely.
Are you going to be creating a new border with them? Yes.
It looks quite dead, doesn't it?
This is not dead. This is still green. No?
Oh, yes.
All right, basically.
Look, John.
This is hard soil. Lack of water. Right.
Let's- Let's go back inside, huh?
Rice duty?
Rosie! You've become a kitchen ayah.
I thought you were a high-class madam.
From Mummy. Oh, thank you!
Oh, thank you, child. Thank you.
Madam and master are here? You said something?
Don't worry, child. Madam's in the garden, no?
I'll show you the house. And we'll talk with her later.
