Something very strange was going on at Miss Rule. I was sure of it. We springs in corners and inexplicable secret of comings and goings among the children. I should have asked questions, but I had so many things on my mind. John, the general, the housekeeper,

was keeping and goodness what had happened to Judy. We still had not heard from her.

He's home early. I hope nothing's wrong. Esther said he was worried because we haven't heard from Judy. He wouldn't go off there, would he? No, we've sent her letter first. Besides, all he's going to think about for the next two days is the regimental dinner. If only he'd wait just three more days, then Judy leaves.

She's still sick, and we should get the doctor. Judy had never forgives us. Maybe we can get Duncan the chemist to give us something for Judy's cough. We should get the doctor. I hate all this lying and pretent. What else can we do? Come on, Meg. I'll dish away, you mean it?

Hello, people, man. Hello, Ellen. How's the foodie going? Better than lectures any day.

You were terrific last week, he gave us north. Three tries, from Mendis. Thanks.

You're studying medicine at uni, aren't you, Ellen? That's the impression I try to give you, yes.

Well, look, say someone's got a bad cough, and they've been out in the cold and all that, and they look rotten. And they seem to get this terrible pain in this side.

What do you think you should get for it? A doctor.

What would you say, Mr. Duncan? I agree. I hope it's not one of your sisters.

Oh no, I just want something for a bad cold. Are you a have a cold?

It's four out, Maid Martha. She has a slight cough.

I thought perhaps you may have been ill. Oh no, I'm enjoying good health, thank you.

Miss Wolcott, I felt absolutely rotten about the other night.

It was a rotten thing to do. I knew the note was intended for Andrew, and it was not of my business.

And it was unforgivably presumptuous of me to let you.

Really, I'm only making it worse, aren't I?

Mr. Courtney, I should be most obliged if you would forget. What happened the other night?

We'll make a pact, shall we? We'll both forget it.

Thank you.

Oh, you've met her, have you? Best for the player in the university.

We'd better go. Bye. Bye, Pip. Good afternoon, Miss Wolcott.

Oh wow, I tell Mrs. Courtney, I want every four hours. That'll be two shillings, please.

Thank you. Thank you.

Mr. Duncan.

What did those symptoms sound like to you? Symptoms.

Pip Wolcott's suppositions. Who those?

Oh, Flutuses.

Oh, that's not fair, General.

Judy. Oh, Lord.

Judy, tell. Why did you... What a big messer.

I'll miss the deer. Anywhere.

Have you looked at so much? I'm in tune.

We were only playing. He fell over. She came up before we...

Now what are we going to do?

Judy, are you all right? Marvellous.

To wait till we're gone to bed.

Thought you might appreciate a hot water bottle. But be careful with the building, all right?

Deer all may, you'll make someone a marvellous marvellous.

Take the medicine. I'd rather cough.

I'd rather cough.

I'd rather cough.

I'd rather cough.

Take the medicine. I'd rather cough.

Come on.

I'm staying the night. You are a brick. You know I hate the rains.

Biggest sock I've ever met.

The general hasn't told yet. He keeps calling for you.

So, Nell told us it was because they told him stories about you coming home for the holiday.

Fenty Nell telling foods.

No, it's from Banti. Come.

Maggie used to come in to sleep with me just after Mother died.

Seems a long time ago, doesn't it?

But I don't feel any different.

I make the day after tomorrow I'm supposed to catch the train back to that Richard school.

I know.

But was he?

Did he tell you we planted terrific special picnic for tomorrow with the rain stops?

We thought we'd go along the riverbank to our old spot, just like we used to.

Well, Meggo would have to be just as it used to be.

Chutu, I promise we'll do everything. Everything we can.

Come on in.

Come on in.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Where is he?

Still in the paddock. Bunt is keeping lunch.

He's not going to stay out there all morning.

What's this to be? A picnic or a bell shazza spaced?

We're simply grilling some sausages.

Some look like the weak freshans for the entire household.

Martha, you know very well the fresh air makes people terribly hungry.

Six hard-boiled eggs?

I gave you one each.

Five.

Well, I felt we needed six.

Did you know?

I'd always go to eat two plus four sausages.

I am. I told you.

I become excessively hungry in the open air.

You! You never eat enough to keep a grasshopper alive.

What's this? My radishes for Sunday salad.

I haven't taken them all.

Martha, please let me have some.

I simply adore radishes.

First I've heard of it.

The only person around here who's simply adored radishes was...

I asked Neltepag the extra stuff.

Graeme digby-smissity might come.

So if we haven't got enough to do here feeding the lot of you

without taking on half the digby-smits.

Still I suppose it's worth it to get rid of you all for a bit.

Come on.

Hurry up and clear out of my kitchen.

Bridget!

Bridget, what are you doing up there? Taking a nap?

Hurry up with embeds and come down here.

Oh, she doesn't have to make the beds. They're all made.

What's the matter with you, Loh?

That's the fourth morning running.

Something fishy going on here.

Last time you made your bed with one week before Christmas.

I'm going to get to the bottom of this.

Don't be asked, Judy.

It's about time. I thought you'd forgotten me.

We couldn't get away.

Nelt brought you some breakfast.

Oh, I wasn't hungry.

Nelt seems to think I have a buntysized appetite anyway.

Brought you some warm things. It might get a bit chilly this afternoon.

Judy, are you all right?

Right is rain. Why?

We are still going for a picnic.

Of course we are.

If you feel...

Stop fussing. It's only the end of that stupid cold.

All that's wrong with me is my legs are going to drop off through lack of exercise.

Oh, I'm sick of being cooped up here like mad birther in the West Wing.

When can we go?

Soon as father gets out of the stable. Come on.

Not a trace of lameness. The zappers' leg is as good as new.

Thank heavens.

I knew I was right. All it needed was a good rub with implication and banaging for a few days.

Yes, dear.

Not much, I don't know about horses, eh?

No, dear.

Accepted was I who suggested the implication.

You?

I made it.

I thought you'd never go inside.

Really?

Oh, let's go.

I have three fat gooseies.

Oh, you ready?

I'll go inside.

Oh, you ready?

I'll go inside.

Oh, you got three.

Take a seat.

We'll have four cups of hot food.

Four bowls of beef.

Hey, did anyone find out where the father's going out?

No.

No.

Bunt, you better go out.

Why?

We don't want father deciding on a walk down the river, do we?

Why me?

Because you were elected scouts.

But I want to come.

Look, idiot.

You won't miss out on anything.

Just go up and find out if he's taking a trip in the dog cart or what his plans are.

Then you can follow us.

It's not fair.

I have to do all the dirty work.

You need only stay around until father makes up his mind.

We'll keep your sausages for you.

You can have my sausage too.

Please, Bunt.

Hop it and keep your eyes on his peel.

It's not fair.

You didn't mind it.

What do I have to do with everything?

Why don't they do it?

Father, father.

Poo.

It's efficient until the afternoon is the father they're of.

Come on, let's forget him.

Nothing will go wrong today.

Last one there, don't let me.

Don't make it.

Oh, oh.

Ginger!

Oh, dear.

Oh, no, you don't.

Oh, please, darling.

Jenny, don't you be difficult too?

Yes, Jenny.

Ginger!

Jenny?

Have you taken root there?

I'm not doing nothing.

Indeed.

Nothing at all.

It looked as if you were contemplating some fresh misty.

Or perhaps, sorrowing over some old.

What was it?

Nothing.

Come on.

Suppose you confess to every piece of misty of you've done this week.

I have the morning to spare.

And it's about time I looked to your morals a bit.

I haven't done nothing.

Really?

Well, there was the stealing from the pantry on Tuesday.

That's one.

Now then.

I never did nothing else.

Nothing at all, Bunti.

On your word.

I was playing.

How could I show anything at your horse?

Horse?

What did you throw at me, Zappertou, lame him?

Nothing. My cricket ball was up in the stables.

Did you lame Miss Zappertou with a cricket ball?

No, no. I never.

It just rolled out of my pocket.

I mean, Zippertou's just passing.

And...

Speak the truth, or I will give you a fresh and you won't forget in a hurry.

Now, sir, did you lame Miss Zappertou?

Yes.

Here you go.

Oh, I'll throw the fiefle.

It wasn't me!

Come on.

You all right, you do it?

Here we are.

I'll beat you again.

I'll bet Bunti will stay behind until all the work's done.

And then turn up in time to eat everything the pig.

You've killed me!

It wasn't my fault.

I wanted you at the other's sometime.

Do you think the others would lie so contemptibly?

Philip never lied to me.

And Helen would rather cut her tongue out first.

Going on a picnic, are you?

Well, you will picnic in your room until tomorrow.

This instant, at the double.

Julie's fellow weapons go!

Then she's gone to the picnic!

You know it's fine to punch her, yeah?

Silly little dope.

Probably got some way or went in the other direction.

No, you were coming here.

Your turn up.

No sense in just sitting here.

No, you and baby collect some wood for the fire.

Where's Willie?

He'll turn up when we finish cooking.

I think it was very noble of Bunti to have stayed behind.

Brave as brave.

I'll have with the wood.

You sure you're all right?

It's all this fresh air.

My legs have forgotten how to work.

We'll collect the wood. You sit down.

After all, it's your holiday.

Oh, it's wonderful to relax.

But not have to worry about father.

Everything must be all right.

Or Bunti'd have told us.

Ah, yes, the wealthy British after-do enough.

Excellent lunch on Martha.

Thank you.

Martha, will your fetus as well cut short?

We are going on the river.

For a short row in the dinghy, the exercise will do me good.

Has this anything to do with Bunti?

Esther, I love my children.

You know that.

Any decision I make regarding this family

will always have the family's benefit in mind.

I know, but why punish Bunti so harshly?

He is an untruthful vagabond, and I am ashamed to own him as my son.

As for the others.

Please try to understand, John.

Esther, you once remarked that in marrying me,

you were marrying into an army.

In many ways, perhaps, that is true.

These are children, John.

Not soldiers.

In my profession, I may be merely an overworked and overlooked captain.

But in this house and in this family,

I insist on being completely and entirely in command.

When my orders are flouted, scorned, disregarded,

I have no option but to treat it as sedition and mutiny.

It will therefore be dealt with as such, severely.

You are going to have someone shot.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Then let us go for a row on the river.

Bunti used to remain locked in his room.

Do you understand?

I have my idea.

Oh, it's a repeat, Judy.

No.

Anyone for another sausage? This.

I'm bursting.

It will be hard to see.

Who, you only want me to get a big fat waste like you?

I have not got a big fat.

No! Look at it, Pip.

40 inches of fatigue art.

Poor old Meg with a figure like a cat.

She looks like a cat.

She looks like a cat.

40 inches of fatigue art.

Poor old Meg with a figure like a cat.

Judy, Meg sees she is only teasing.

She was always teasing, remember?

Judy, you know about that awful business.

Philly old Meg type lacing.

Of course I do.

Just like old times.

That's a relief not having to be nice or lady-like.

I think I'm just meant to be unladely like and horrible.

I don't think you're horrible, Judy.

I'm a monster.

I wonder what happened to our bummy?

It was a bit mean asking him to stay.

So I want him to stay.

Judy, I'm not going tomorrow.

Happy the man.

Happy he alone.

You can call today, though.

He was secure within, you can say, tomorrow, do I worst?

For I have lived today.

I see.

He knows about Judy, he made me tell.

Oh my gosh, not everything, the shed.

I didn't tell about the shed.

I didn't want to, Judy.

But he heard and is coming.

Here.

How long ago did he leave?

I just go.

I had to climb out of the window and the creep is all time long.

It won't take him 40 minutes to get here.

All of sneaky.

Judy, the better part of our house is to skid out.

It's all right, baby.

It's all right.

Bunky, you look after Judy.

Sit down, sit down.

Actuals, nothing's happened.

Harry, eat something.

Anyone for a sausage?

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Having a nice picnic?

Yes, thank you, father.

All of you here?

Uh, uh, Bunky stayed home.

He, uh, had a headache.

Well, well.

John, this is most unfair.

Stop it, please.

It was good.

Very well, my dear.

Enjoy yourselves.

Don't you think this is all just too childish?

Of course.

But they have chosen the weapons.

Betty's a dirty fighter.

When he has a lot of astrophight.

Perhaps that's the only way we'll win.

Well, he's ruined it now.

Might as well go home.

Oh, come on, Judy.

I've got to get back at me locked in before he comes home.

Just a minute.

Oh, come on, Judy.

You go on.

Go on.

No, no.

I won't leave you.

I'm silly.

It's nothing.

Go on.

No.

I want to help you.

Oh, Judy, I didn't mean to tell on you.

I know.

You didn't do your off-feller.

Come on, Herculey.

Please help me.

Come here.

Why the hell are you all guys?

Our lady.

Please, Sophie.

There is no death.

But then you must apologize to me on Friday.

I feel like night comes right now.

Yeah, I mean.

I guess I should have approved everything here.

He might have since the last time she bought it.

Mere, John, and the sky.

No, it's the moon.

As you are all in possession of the drawing room,

I can hardly smoke at any comfort here.

I am afraid.

I'm going outside for a quiet stroll.

Hello.

Helen, what are you doing here?

May I ask?

Have you anything to say to yourself, Helen?

No, Father.

No excuse or reason at all.

No, Father.

There is a train leaving for Montfictoria this evening.

You will be on it.

You will not be returning for the Christmas holidays

and probably not for those of the following June.

But first, young lady, there is the matter of discipline.

I want no dramatic.

You will go to my study.

Judy.

Judy, my dear child.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.

I will be waiting for you.
