WEBVTT 00:00:00.004 --> 00:00:00.008 00:00:00.008 --> 00:00:04.004 00:00:04.004 --> 00:00:08.004 00:00:08.004 --> 00:02:41.064 00:02:41.064 --> 00:02:46.044 Why are they sending so many soldiers daddy, if it is only going to be a little war. 00:02:46.044 --> 00:02:49.032 Make those southern boys take us seriously this time, my darlilng. 00:02:49.032 --> 00:02:53.016 When they realize how much we want to put a stop to their nonsense, they'll quiet down. 00:02:53.016 --> 00:02:58.092 They'd better. Anyhow, when you get there, you'll stop them won't you daddy? 00:02:58.092 --> 00:03:17.088 I'll do my best dear. 00:03:17.088 --> 00:03:20.000 We will miss you so. 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:23.008 I'll be back and we'll be together again before you can say knife. 00:03:23.008 --> 00:03:25.036 I can say knife a good many times in a year. 00:03:25.036 --> 00:03:27.068 At school, you'll have charming little girls to play with..... 00:03:27.068 --> 00:03:32.008 ....books to read, a pony to ride and after all there will be Emily you know. 00:03:32.008 --> 00:03:38.024 Yes, there will be Emily. And she does look as though she'd be an understanding friend, don't you think daddy? 00:03:38.024 --> 00:03:56.008 With that intelletual look, I'm sure of it. 00:03:56.008 --> 00:04:01.024 - Not a very cheeful looking school, is it daddy? - I'm afraid nothing would seem very cheerful to us at the moment. 00:04:01.024 --> 00:04:04.052 Well, maybe it will be better on the inside. 00:04:04.052 --> 00:04:07.096 - Of course it will. I'm sorry sir. - All right, get it out. 00:04:07.096 --> 00:04:12.096 - The very idea of delivering a thing like this to the front door. - Oh look daddy, my pony. 00:04:12.096 --> 00:04:16.002 Your employer will answer to this. Now take him away. Yes, far away! 00:04:16.002 --> 00:04:21.000 - Oh no daddy. - Oh, I say. Just a moment. 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:22.072 - You are Miss Minchin? - I am. 00:04:22.072 --> 00:04:24.064 I'm Captain Crew. 00:04:24.064 --> 00:04:29.008 - I'm afraid of caused you no end to inconvenience. - You most certainly have, Captain Crew. 00:04:29.008 --> 00:04:32.012 - May I step inside and explain? - Come in. 00:04:32.012 --> 00:04:35.076 - Wait here, I'm returning. - Very well Captain. 00:04:35.076 --> 00:04:41.016 -I'm terribly sorry. I had no intention of having the pony delivered inside your house. - There are a number of things besides the pony. 00:04:41.016 --> 00:04:56.012 Parcels have been arriving here collect for your daughter for hours. Follow me please. 00:04:56.012 --> 00:05:01.068 Apparently you are not aware, Captain Crew, that I conduct one of the most exclusive schools in London. 00:05:01.068 --> 00:05:05.088 Yes, yes, I understood. That is precisely the reason why I brought my daughter to you. 00:05:05.088 --> 00:05:10.088 - I would not have gathered that, by your actions. - Really now, I'm not entirely to blame. 00:05:10.088 --> 00:05:15.008 You see Sara and I, only just arrived from India. Sara has lived there practically all her life. 00:05:15.008 --> 00:05:19.032 We no more than got here, when I learned that my regiment was to leave at once for South Africa, so we had to act in a hurry. 00:05:19.032 --> 00:05:25.064 But I wrote you and explained that l do not take young ladies without an interview and impecable references. 00:05:25.064 --> 00:05:30.004 I wrote you also, that at the moment, I have no vacant room. 00:05:30.004 --> 00:05:34.048 - Well in that case daddy, we may as well move on. - This is a bit awkward. 00:05:34.048 --> 00:05:41.056 You see, your letter never reached me and I'm afraid it never occured to me that any school wouldn't welcome my little Sara. 00:05:41.056 --> 00:05:47.052 If it is a question of my social standing, my father was Sir George Crew. You've heard of him, perhaps? 00:05:47.052 --> 00:05:51.092 And the best financial references l can give you would be the director of the South African Holding Syndicate. 00:05:51.092 --> 00:05:55.096 I'm the principal stockholder in the syndicate. 00:05:55.096 --> 00:05:59.004 My brother, Captain Crew, a professor of dramatics. 00:05:59.004 --> 00:06:01.052 - How do you do? - Charmed, I'm sure. 00:06:01.052 --> 00:06:07.008 - I say, isn't the Eclipse Diamond mines one of your holdings? - One of the most important. 00:06:07.008 --> 00:06:12.044 I'm sorry to appear casual Miss Minchin, but the siutation is quite distressing. I sail in an hour to the east Indian docks. 00:06:12.044 --> 00:06:18.096 - I expect you'll just have to take me to Africa with you daddy. - Well, well and what would a little girl like you do in Africa? 00:06:18.096 --> 00:06:24.072 Forgive me Captain Crew. I'm afraid I've been over zealous. The reputation of my school you know. One has to be so cautious. 00:06:24.072 --> 00:06:28.096 But after this interview, I can see at a glance, she's a dear little child. 00:06:28.096 --> 00:06:32.096 - It'll be a pleasure to have her with us. - Does that mean I've got to stay? 00:06:32.096 --> 00:06:36.008 Yes dear. You are to have that privilege. You and your little pony. 00:06:36.008 --> 00:06:40.084 - What a dear little pony. - This is made out to the school. - Is it enough for the moment. 00:06:40.084 --> 00:06:44.012 - Oh quite. - I should say it would. Why it's stupendous. 00:06:44.012 --> 00:06:48.012 - I beg your pardon, but haven't I seen you somewhere before? - Quite possible my dear Captain. 00:06:48.012 --> 00:06:52.092 Your face is most familiar. Were you ever on the stage? I seem to associate you with one of the old music halls. 00:06:52.092 --> 00:06:57.016 - Musicals? My brother on the stage? Ridiculous. - Ridiculous indeed, you're quite right. 00:06:57.016 --> 00:07:05.096 And now, shall we look at little Sara's room? 00:07:05.096 --> 00:07:11.036 Just a moment Miss Rose. This is Miss Rose, one of my most capable teachers. 00:07:11.036 --> 00:07:16.092 Captain Crew has done us the honor of placing his little daughter Sara with us. 00:07:16.092 --> 00:07:20.056 How do you do Miss Rose? How do you do Captain Crew? We shall do everything we can to make your little girl happy. 00:07:20.056 --> 00:07:25.016 Children, we have a new pupil. Sara Crew. Say how do you do to her. 00:07:25.016 --> 00:07:29.096 -How do you do? - I'm very well, thank you. 00:07:29.096 --> 00:07:42.008 Lavina, Jesse, that will do. You may proceed Miss Rose. 00:07:42.008 --> 00:07:47.008 - She's just like a little princess, isn't she? - That's what she is, a princess. 00:07:47.008 --> 00:07:51.064 I expect now, some people around here won't think they're so smart. 00:07:51.064 --> 00:07:57.000 Oh won't they? Wait and see! Princess indeed! 00:07:57.000 --> 00:08:01.008 Fortunately, the room has just been papered and the fireplace has an excellent draft. 00:08:01.008 --> 00:08:07.092 - But I thought you didn't have any rooms? - I didn't know then what a dear little girl was coming. 00:08:07.092 --> 00:08:13.048 Why does that make more rooms daddy? 00:08:13.048 --> 00:08:19.044 Lady Bengiglis daughter has only recently vacated the room. Our best suite of course. 00:08:19.044 --> 00:08:23.084 Do you think you could brighten it up a bit? I'd like it made as gay as possible. 00:08:23.084 --> 00:08:27.068 brought a few things from India. Perhaps you could buy whatever else is necessary. 00:08:27.068 --> 00:08:29.004 With pleasure Captain Crew. 00:08:29.004 --> 00:08:36.052 - I'd like Sara to ride every afternoon, if that is all right. Of course. - Fortunately we have a splendid riding master. 00:08:36.052 --> 00:08:42.044 I expect you think I am completely spoiling the child. No doubt you're right, but actually it's good for her. 00:08:42.044 --> 00:08:47.044 She's much too inclined to bury her cute little nose in a book and keep it there until someone lures her out of it. 00:08:47.044 --> 00:08:52.008 You see Miss Minchin. Sara has no mother and we've never been separated for more than a few days. 00:08:52.008 --> 00:08:57.024 - How touching. - This is going to be very hard for her. 00:08:57.024 --> 00:09:02.002 Have no fear Captain Crew. I'm a mother to all my little girls. 00:09:02.002 --> 00:09:14.068 And now, I'll leave you to your farewells. 00:09:14.068 --> 00:09:29.044 - How much longer have we got, daddy? - Only a few minutes, darling. 00:09:29.044 --> 00:09:35.002 -You know me by heart little Sara. - No daddy, I know you by heart. 00:09:35.002 --> 00:09:40.096 You're inside my heart. 00:09:40.096 --> 00:09:45.076 We're going to be brave, aren't we? 00:09:45.076 --> 00:09:50.036 I'll tell you what. Let's pretend we're back in India. 00:09:50.036 --> 00:09:54.076 And I'm going away with the troop for a few days. Shall we? 00:09:54.076 --> 00:10:01.068 We've fought this kind of battle before, haven't we? And you never cried once when I went away. 00:10:01.068 --> 00:10:05.088 - Remember? - Yes daddy. 00:10:05.088 --> 00:10:09.072 But this is going to be our hardest battle. 00:10:09.072 --> 00:10:21.024 - But we'll be good soldiers, won't we? - Yes daddy. 00:10:21.024 --> 00:10:26.006 - Shall we say good-bye, like we used to at home? - Yes daddy. 00:10:26.006 --> 00:10:45.004 All right then. Chin up, go to the window and look out. 00:10:45.004 --> 00:10:48.012 Say it as we used to. 00:10:48.012 --> 00:10:53.048 My daddy has to go away, but he'll return most any day. 00:10:53.048 --> 00:11:03.064 Any moment, I may see, my daddy coming back to me. 00:11:03.064 --> 00:11:15.092 My daddy has to go away, but he'll return most any day. 00:11:15.092 --> 00:11:24.092 I can't do it this time. I can't do it. 00:11:24.092 --> 00:11:31.044 - You're crying too. - I'm afraid that we aren't quite the good soldiers as we thought. 00:11:31.044 --> 00:11:35.068 Oh yes we are. 00:11:35.068 --> 00:11:40.064 I can do it now. 00:11:40.064 --> 00:11:47.002 My daddy has to go away, but he'll return most any day. 00:11:47.002 --> 00:12:12.068 Any moment I may see, my daddy coming back to me. 00:12:12.068 --> 00:12:17.012 I will do it! I will! I'll pretend this is part of a war. 00:12:17.012 --> 00:12:29.002 You be the enemy and you'll be my trusty lance. Now ready, aim, fi re. 00:12:29.002 --> 00:12:40.088 I guess we'll have to call in the reserves. 00:12:40.088 --> 00:12:47.006 -Good-morning. - Misses speaks Hindu? 00:12:47.006 --> 00:12:54.052 I've lived in India all my life. 00:12:54.052 --> 00:12:57.006 Misses is going to live in England now? 00:12:57.006 --> 00:13:02.036 - Until my father gets through with making the boars behave. - Your father is a soldier? 00:13:02.036 --> 00:13:07.076 Yes, my father is a captain. Captain Crew. I'm Sara. What is your name? 00:13:07.076 --> 00:13:13.052 I am Ram Dass. Servant to the Honorable Lord Wickham and Lady Surani. 00:13:13.052 --> 00:13:16.002 Ram Dass! 00:13:16.002 --> 00:13:22.032 Why are you doddling here? Finish with that bird and get on with your work. 00:13:22.032 --> 00:13:26.016 Good-morning. 00:13:26.016 --> 00:13:30.002 How do you do? 00:13:30.002 --> 00:13:34.004 I'm up here at the window almost every morning, in case you want to talk about India. 00:13:34.004 --> 00:13:39.000 Good-morning Sara. Oh, good- morning. Are you ready for breakfast my dear? 00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:44.096 Well, I'm trying to be, but I don't seem to be very good at these buttons. My thumb get lost in the holes. 00:13:44.096 --> 00:13:48.006 Here, let me help you. Buttons are a bother, aren't they? 00:13:48.006 --> 00:13:53.002 I've never had to button things before, but I'll learn. 00:13:53.002 --> 00:13:59.052 Here, put your shoe up. Come in. 00:13:59.052 --> 00:14:02.006 - Good-morning Becky. - Good-morning. 00:14:02.006 --> 00:14:07.096 - Has the young lady any boots to be done? - Well, only the pair I wore yesterday, I'll get them. 00:14:07.096 --> 00:14:12.002 I'll get them Miss. Oh I beg your pardon Miss! 00:14:12.002 --> 00:14:16.004 - Are you hurt? - No Miss you mustn't be helping me Miss. 00:14:16.004 --> 00:14:22.036 - Just hold out your arms and I'll pile them on. - Oh no Miss. If Miss Minchin was to see..... 00:14:22.036 --> 00:14:28.012 - Think you can hold two more? - Yes Miss. 00:14:28.012 --> 00:14:31.000 There. There we are. Are you all right? 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:35.002 -You take care of all those? - And she does them beautifully. 00:14:35.002 --> 00:14:40.002 - I thank you Miss. - Thank-you for doing my shoes. 00:14:40.002 --> 00:14:45.002 - Oh, I'm sorry. - That's all right. 00:14:45.002 --> 00:14:50.000 Good-bye Becky. Good-bye. 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:54.000 Well, perhaps this isn't going to be such a bad school after all. With you and Becky here. 00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:57.008 Oh, we'll have to hurry dear. Miss Minchin doesn't like anyone to be late. 00:14:57.008 --> 00:15:02.064 Tell me Miss Rose. Do you think Miss Minchin could be as cross as she looks? 00:15:02.064 --> 00:15:07.064 - What will I have to do today? - Well, after breakfast, you'll have a class of arithmatic. 00:15:07.064 --> 00:15:13.006 Then English, then french, history and geography. 00:15:13.006 --> 00:15:17.004 I'm going to be a busy person, aren't I? When do I get to ride my pony? 00:15:17.004 --> 00:15:21.024 Later this afternoon. About 4 o'clock. 00:15:21.024 --> 00:15:24.072 Children, our new pupil, Sara Crew will be down shortly. 00:15:24.072 --> 00:15:30.008 As you've seen, Captain Crew is a very delightful man and their family is most distinguished. 00:15:30.008 --> 00:15:34.088 I should expect you to treat her accordingly. Now you may take your places. 00:15:34.088 --> 00:15:38.072 - Good-morning. - Ah, good-morning Sara. 00:15:38.072 --> 00:15:46.076 - I'm so happy you feel like joining us this morning. Did you sleep well? - No I didn't, thank-you. 00:15:46.076 --> 00:15:49.064 Lavina, you and Jesse will move down one place. 00:15:49.064 --> 00:16:05.056 -Sara will be seated at my right after this. - Why Miss Minchin, this has always been my place. 00:16:05.056 --> 00:16:20.032 For this food, and all thy bountiful gifts bestowed upon us, we are duly grateful and do now give thanks. 00:16:20.032 --> 00:16:34.092 - Why are you putting salt on your plate my dear. - Just in case you plan on asking me to have one of your eggs. 00:16:34.092 --> 00:16:49.088 - Mr. Geoffrey. Shall I saddle the pony for the wee lassie? - I think not Sandy. We'd best use the mare for her first few lessons. 00:16:49.088 --> 00:16:53.052 What luck. The old girl allowed you to come out. 00:16:53.052 --> 00:16:57.016 Sara, this is Mr. Geoffrey Hamilton. Miss Crew is our new pupil. 00:16:57.016 --> 00:17:00.024 - How do you do? - How do you do? 00:17:00.024 --> 00:17:06.036 I believe I am to teach you to ride. And that means two bob extra to me. 00:17:06.036 --> 00:17:10.004 - Is two bob a great deal of money? - Values are comparative. 00:17:10.004 --> 00:17:16.092 -In my present state, it's a fortune. - Well, in that case, I guess I'd better be taught. 00:17:16.092 --> 00:17:21.072 - Is my pony ready? -I think we'd best start you off on something a little tamer. 00:17:21.072 --> 00:17:25.056 Then hadn't I better explain things to my pony. He might feel hurt. 00:17:25.056 --> 00:17:31.068 Right you are. Ponies are very sensitive creatures. Explain the whole thing to him, thoroughly. He's right there by the arch. 00:17:31.068 --> 00:17:40.012 - It may take me some time. That's all right. - We'll wait right here in the tac room. 00:17:40.012 --> 00:17:45.032 Hello General. 00:17:45.032 --> 00:17:49.036 Are you glad to see me? 00:17:49.036 --> 00:17:54.092 Well if Mr. Geoffrey is going to give me something tamer than you, I'm afraid it's not going to be much of a ride. 00:17:54.092 --> 00:17:59.068 - Rose something's wrong. What is it? - Miss Minchin is taking away my Thursday afternoons. 00:17:59.068 --> 00:18:02.076 - But why? - We must have been seen together. 00:18:02.076 --> 00:18:09.028 - Well does that mean that I can never see you alone again? Of course not darling. - No matter what Miss Minchin says, we'll find a way. 00:18:09.028 --> 00:18:13.032 I can't understand the woman.What is she afraid of? Why shouldn't we see one another. 00:18:13.032 --> 00:18:17.092 Gossip I suppose. She only lives for that school the variety of the propriety of the snobbisheness. 00:18:17.092 --> 00:18:22.092 Fiddlesticks. She's afraid of losing an excellent teacher whom she gets for nothing. I won't stand for it. I will have a talk with her myself. 00:18:22.092 --> 00:18:27.072 No darling you mustn't do that. She'd only discharge us both. 00:18:27.072 --> 00:18:31.072 She may not have the chance if things continue to pop in South Africa. 00:18:31.072 --> 00:18:37.048 - You mean you might go? - Wouldn't you want me to if they call for volunteers? 00:18:37.048 --> 00:18:41.088 Of course darling you'd have to. 00:18:41.088 --> 00:18:58.006 There is nothing to worry about now. This poor rumpous will never get that serious. 00:18:58.006 --> 00:19:11.064 I expect I'll have to make my visit a little longer. 00:19:11.064 --> 00:19:17.002 - Oh Mr. Brady is there one this morning for the little princess? - We'll see my child we shall see. 00:19:17.002 --> 00:19:23.052 Of she don't hear from her father every so often her eyes get that sad it hurts me to look in them. 00:19:23.052 --> 00:20:38.092 -Have no fear little one. - There is a letter for her this time. Oh i'm so glad sir. 00:20:38.092 --> 00:20:42.016 -A letter? - It's from my daddy. 00:20:42.016 --> 00:20:46.004 -Oh how nice. - But it isn't. 00:20:46.004 --> 00:20:52.032 - It's very bad news.

Why aren't you in your riding things? 00:23:30.006 --> 00:23:35.002 - Oh i can't go today. Ermegard needs extra tutoring today. -Oh will it take all afternoon? 00:23:35.002 --> 00:23:36.016 I'm afraid so. 00:23:36.016 --> 00:23:40.036 - I have to stay with her until she can spell Constantiniopel. - Heavens that may take months. 00:23:40.036 --> 00:23:45.076 You leave that to me. 00:23:45.076 --> 00:23:50.036 Shall we go? Have you been crying? 00:23:50.036 --> 00:23:54.076 - But you have, there are still tears in your eyes. - It's just this London fog. 00:23:54.076 --> 00:24:07.004 Oh well if that's all, lets be off shall we? 00:24:07.004 --> 00:24:13.000 -Mr. Geoffrey. Would you mind very much if we didn't ride today? - Not at all dear. But may I ask why not? 00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:17.004 I'd like to talk to you. 00:24:17.004 --> 00:24:22.004 It's about Mafeking.Are the soldiers really starving, sickand cut off from everything? 00:24:22.004 --> 00:24:27.000 - You see my father's there so I've got to know. - Oh it's not as bad as all that. 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:32.092 They may not be having an easy time of that, but they're holding out. We're sending in fresh troops everyday you know? 00:24:32.092 --> 00:24:39.028 - Why they'll be leaving Mafeking in no time at all. - It's getting harder everyday to pretend my father is safe. 00:24:39.028 --> 00:24:43.088 Don't you worry. See here, I'll let you in on at litle secret. 00:24:43.088 --> 00:24:49.024 I enlisted today and while I don't Miss Rose to know quite yet, I'll be going over there quite shortly myself. 00:24:49.024 --> 00:24:54.024 - To Mafeking? Well then perhaps you can help my father. - We'll get him out. 00:24:54.024 --> 00:25:01.012 What the blazes are you doing here? Answer me! What are you doing here? 00:25:01.012 --> 00:25:05.092 - Don't be frightened Sara, it's only my grandfather. - Don't you believe him young woman. I disowned him the day he was born. 00:25:05.092 --> 00:25:10.016 - We're really very fond of each other. Of course we are. - What?! We are nothing of the kind. 00:25:10.016 --> 00:25:16.048 - As a favor to me, will you please stop shouting at my best paying pupil. - Pupil? Paying? What are you talking about? 00:25:16.048 --> 00:25:21.084 I am master of the horse in this exclusive seminary of the young ladies. 00:25:21.084 --> 00:25:26.084 You take advantage of my absence to become a riding master? And next door to me own house? 00:25:26.084 --> 00:25:31.044 - Where's your family pride boy? -Well sir, one must eat, and family pride is a pretty thin diet. 00:25:31.044 --> 00:25:36.006 - Oh, blackmail eh? You'll think I'll buy you off? - I hadn't thought of that, but it's not a bad idea. 00:25:36.006 --> 00:25:42.076 I'll see you hang drawn and quartered for that. Wait till I see the woman who runs this school. I'll put a spoke in your wheel. 00:25:42.076 --> 00:25:47.016 Do! She loved to know that my grandfather is Lord Wickham. She probably raise my salary 00:25:47.016 --> 00:25:50.044 - Miss Sara, Lord Wickham is coming. - Then I'm going. 00:25:50.044 --> 00:25:58.068 Insolent young pup! Just like his father. Riding master! Bah! 00:25:58.068 --> 00:26:04.044 - Maybe you're fond of him, but I don't think he's very fond of you. - Oh he's harmless. His bark is worse than his bite. 00:26:04.044 --> 00:26:08.044 I should hope so. Why is he so mad at you? 00:26:08.044 --> 00:26:12.048 Oh he isn't really. He was angry with my father. I'm mixed up in their quarrel. 00:26:12.048 --> 00:26:17.008 What he really wants if for me to come begging to him for help. He'd be eating out of my hand if I would. 00:26:17.008 --> 00:26:20.036 I don't think I'd care for him eating out of my hand. 00:26:20.036 --> 00:26:24.096 - How would you like to have me eating out of your hand? - You? Oh, that would be different. 00:26:24.096 --> 00:26:29.056 Well I shall, if you do me a favor. A very important one. Oh, could I? 00:26:29.056 --> 00:26:33.006 I've got an idea that you are the only one in the world who could. 00:26:33.006 --> 00:26:37.008 I want you to get Miss Rose to go shopping with you next Wednesday. Shopping? 00:26:37.008 --> 00:26:44.072 Well, shopping is as good an excuse for Miss Minchin. 00:26:44.072 --> 00:26:48.076 Really? To Miss Rose? 00:26:48.076 --> 00:26:55.008 And she said she would? Oh, that's wonderful! 00:26:55.008 --> 00:27:00.044 - No, not a soul. Not even Emily. - Good girl! Now we've got to go. 00:27:00.044 --> 00:27:06.002 - I must do some prelimanary shopping. - You don't have to tell me what for. Something gold and shiny. 00:27:06.002 --> 00:27:12.072 Right you are! 00:27:12.072 --> 00:27:19.008 Come in. 00:27:19.008 --> 00:27:24.008 - Come in. - Miss Minchin, I wanted to ask you something. 00:27:24.008 --> 00:27:30.016 - Oh, it's you. What do you want dear? - I'm going to ask you a big favor. Yes? 00:27:30.016 --> 00:27:34.004 Mr. Geoffrey leaving today for the war, he's been so very nice to me... 00:27:34.004 --> 00:27:39.076 ...I thought I ought to fill my social obligations by doing something nice for him. That's what you teach us, isn't it? 00:27:39.076 --> 00:27:43.006 When someone shows you a kindness, you show them one in return. 00:27:43.006 --> 00:27:48.002 Well doing something for Mr. Geoffrey, scarcely comes under the rules of social obligations. 00:27:48.002 --> 00:27:51.084 - But what is it that you want to do for him? - May I have him for tea? 00:27:51.084 --> 00:27:56.064 - Here? At the school? - Oh couldn't I please? Since he's going away to war. 00:27:56.064 --> 00:28:02.096 Well I suppose it would be for him, since he was one of the teachers. You need not mention this to the other young ladies, however. 00:28:02.096 --> 00:28:27.092 No Miss Minchin. Thank-you Miss Minchin. Oh Thank-you Miss Minchin! 00:28:27.092 --> 00:28:33.068 - We must eat something after all the trouble little Sara has gone to. - I think she'll understand. 00:28:33.068 --> 00:28:38.084 - You've forgotten your ring. - No I haven't....see? 00:28:38.084 --> 00:28:45.000 I'm always afraid I'll forget and wear it in front of Miss Minchin. I did yesterday and fortunately for us, she didn't see it. 00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:49.096 - Oh I'd love to tell the old girl. -Can't do that yet darling. I know. 00:28:49.096 --> 00:28:54.004 - Are you sorry you married me? - As if you didn't know. 00:28:54.004 --> 00:29:00.012 I only wanted you to tell me again. Oh, my darling.... 00:29:00.012 --> 00:29:05.012 I'll be living this last week over every moment I'm away from you. 00:29:05.012 --> 00:29:17.096 We won't be separated, will we? Because I'll be living it over too. 00:29:17.096 --> 00:29:22.006 - I thought you were having Mr. Hamiliton to tea? - I am, I mean I was but..... 00:29:22.006 --> 00:29:31.006 - Who's in that room? - Oh please don't go in there Miss Minchin. 00:29:31.006 --> 00:29:36.002 - Miss Minchin, Miss Rose and I..... - We were saying good-bye Miss Minchin. 00:29:36.002 --> 00:29:42.072 - How dare you risk the reputation of my school in this manner. - Nothing has happened to damage your precious school's reputation. 00:29:42.072 --> 00:29:46.096 -As a matter of fact Miss Rose and I..... - Geoffrey! For my sake. 00:29:46.096 --> 00:29:50.076 - Oh please Miss Minchin, it was all my fault. -Silence! 00:29:50.076 --> 00:30:05.076 Since you are here to merely say good-bye, please do so, now. 00:30:05.076 --> 00:30:15.052 Good-bye Geoffrey. 00:30:15.052 --> 00:30:22.008 - Good-bye Mr. Geoffrey. - Good-bye dear. 00:30:22.008 --> 00:30:28.076 -Sara, I shall expect an explanation of this. - Yes Miss Minchin. 00:30:28.076 --> 00:30:48.072 As soon as I can think of one. 00:30:48.072 --> 00:30:54.028 - They've been cornered like rats for 7 months. - I say send more troops to Mafeking if it takes every man in England. 00:30:54.028 --> 00:30:58.012 - I'm with you. - No! Nooooooooo! 00:30:58.012 --> 00:31:03.048 Oh my boy, my boy, my boooooy.... 00:31:03.048 --> 00:31:05.096 They killed my boy. 00:31:05.096 --> 00:31:11.016 I know soldiers are suppose to stand a lot and my daddy is a good soldier. 00:31:11.016 --> 00:31:16.016 But they've waited so long for help. Please do something about Mafeking right away. 00:31:16.016 --> 00:31:32.044 Or they'll all be lost and my daddy won't come back. 00:31:32.044 --> 00:31:40.032 Mafeking is set free. Mafeking is set free. 00:31:40.032 --> 00:31:45.088 Mafeking is set free. Mafeking is set free. 00:31:45.088 --> 00:31:53.036 Oh thank-you for being so quick about it this time. 00:31:53.036 --> 00:31:57.004 Get up, get up! Mafeking is set free. 00:31:57.004 --> 00:32:01.006 Wake up everybody! Mafeking is set free. 00:32:01.006 --> 00:32:07.076 - Oh Mr. Bertie! Did you hear? Mafeking is set free! - Yes darling, isn't it great news. 00:32:07.076 --> 00:32:12.072 Oh Miss Rose, they're saved. My daddy and Mr. Geoffrey are saved. 00:32:12.072 --> 00:32:20.002 - What's wrong? Nothing is wrong. - Nothing, nothing, nothing! Mafeking is set free. 00:32:20.002 --> 00:32:45.032 Oh Miss Minchin, isn't it wonderful? Can you hear the cheering? 00:32:45.032 --> 00:33:11.024 - Oh Sara, I'm so glad for you. - He's saved Becky! My daddy is saved! 00:33:11.024 --> 00:33:17.000 Children, children! Attention please! 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:24.008 It is a happy circumstance that Sara's birthday should fall on a day that we are celebrating a glorious victory for Her Majesty's Army. 00:33:24.008 --> 00:33:29.008 Now Sara. Will you explain to the children about your wishes for your birthday? 00:33:29.008 --> 00:33:35.000 I'm very happy to have you here and I thought I would like to give presents today. Not just receive them. 00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:41.056 I want to show how grateful I am my father has been rescued. Quiet children, quiet. 00:33:41.056 --> 00:33:49.004 - Can we do the presents now? - Yes, but your gift first Sara. 00:33:49.004 --> 00:33:55.092 -This is for you. Oh thank-you Miss Minchin. - Now all I need is to know how to sew. 00:33:55.092 --> 00:33:59.096 And this from the entire school. Here are pictures of your native India. 00:33:59.096 --> 00:34:05.032 Oh thank-you ever and ever so much. I shouldn't have to pretend nearly so hard when I want to make believe I'm there. 00:34:05.032 --> 00:34:13.002 -And now, would you like them to have their presents. - Yes, if you please. And your names are all on them. 00:34:13.002 --> 00:34:18.076 Here you are Miss Rose. Oh, how nice. Now would you help with the other presents? 00:34:18.076 --> 00:34:30.064 - Here you are Miss Rose. Oh, how nice. Now would you help with the other presents? - Oh how thoughtful Sara. 00:34:30.064 --> 00:34:37.076 From one old trooper to another. Me in younger and happier days. I was better known as Bobbling Bertie. 00:34:37.076 --> 00:34:43.088 - Thank-you. We'd better keep this present a secret. - Mums the word. 00:34:43.088 --> 00:34:49.008 -Here this is from me. I hope you like it. -It's just what I wanted. 00:34:49.008 --> 00:35:00.096 Mums the word you know. 00:35:00.096 --> 00:35:05.076 Here's my present Miss. Many Happy Returns. 00:35:05.076 --> 00:35:13.004 - Oh thank-you Becky. - The material isn't new. 00:35:13.004 --> 00:35:18.008 -Why you dear Becky, you made it all yourself. - Yes Miss. I made it at nights. 00:35:18.008 --> 00:35:23.006 I knew you could pretend, I said, with diamond pins stuck in. 00:35:23.006 --> 00:35:30.032 - It's beautiful Becky, I shall love it. Oh will you Miss? - The material isn't all new. 00:35:30.032 --> 00:35:36.044 - And this isn't so very new either. - It's my present to you. 00:35:36.044 --> 00:35:40.008 - Yes Becky, with my love. - What is it Miss? 00:35:40.008 --> 00:35:44.032 It's a scarab from Egypt. My daddy gave it to me, because it brings good luck. 00:35:44.032 --> 00:35:48.032 I'd rather you had it, than anyone else I know. 00:35:48.032 --> 00:35:53.088 - Oh my Miss. I think I'm going to faint. - Oh no Becky! Not now. 00:35:53.088 --> 00:35:58.012 I have lots more presents for you. Two in my room. 00:35:58.012 --> 00:36:02.016 -I don't know what to say Miss. - You're sweet Becky. 00:36:02.016 --> 00:36:05.008 Yes, yes, very nice. 00:36:05.008 --> 00:36:10.002 - eg your pardon Miss. Yes? Mr. Barrow of Barrow and Skippo is here to see you. - Today? I didn't send for him. 00:36:10.002 --> 00:36:15.096 He seems very much upset about something. He's waiting in your office. 00:36:15.096 --> 00:36:18.084 -Miss Rose. - The scarf is beautiful. 00:36:18.084 --> 00:36:22.068 Miss Rose, remember to be sure and tell me when it's almost 2 o'clock. 00:36:22.068 --> 00:36:28.024 You know, I have a very special appointment with my daddy. He's going to be thinking of me at exactly 2. 00:36:28.024 --> 00:36:34.000 - I'll watch the time. Thank-you Miss Rose. - Oh Sara! Thank-you for the handkerchiefs, they're lovely. 00:36:34.000 --> 00:36:38.006 - Don't you think it's time to cut the cake? -Oh yes, the cake! 00:36:38.006 --> 00:36:43.076 - Please be seated Mr. Barrow. - How much did you advance for this party? Quite a sum, I suspect. 00:36:43.076 --> 00:36:47.006 What does it matter. Captain Crew is a very wealthy man. His check will be here shortly. 00:36:47.006 --> 00:36:53.036 - No Miss Minchin. There'll be no check. - What? What do you mean by that? 00:36:53.036 --> 00:36:56.064 The late Captain Crew..... The "late" Captain Crew?! 00:36:56.064 --> 00:37:02.036 Captain Crew is dead. He was so reported in the list this morning. Moreover, he died bankrupt 00:37:02.036 --> 00:37:08.072 -Bankrupt?! But his property, his mines. - His property and mines were confiscated by the enemy. 00:37:08.072 --> 00:37:13.012 You mean to tell me that that child is penniless? That she's left on my hands with nothing? 00:37:13.012 --> 00:37:16.076 She's certainly left penniless and she's certainly left on your hands. 00:37:16.076 --> 00:37:21.016 - She hasn't a relative in the world that we know of. - But her father's account is overdrawn. 00:37:21.016 --> 00:37:26.056 I was expecting a check, and advanced the money for this party. So I understand. 00:37:26.056 --> 00:37:30.076 Now you have to make a wish and blow out all the candles with one breath. 00:37:30.076 --> 00:37:35.016 My wish is that my father will come back real soon. 00:37:35.016 --> 00:37:41.088 Now take a big breath. 00:37:41.088 --> 00:37:44.096 I haven't got very good lungs, have I? 00:37:44.096 --> 00:37:49.036 -I'll turn her out on the streets -Do you think that's wise Miss Minchin. The reputation of your school. 00:37:49.036 --> 00:37:51.012 My school? 00:37:51.012 --> 00:37:55.032 Well the report might get about and it might not sound well to the parents of your other pupils. 00:37:55.032 --> 00:37:56.048 Yes, that is so. 00:37:56.048 --> 00:38:01.084 Of course, the child can be made to serve in your employ, until her indebtedness is worked out. 00:38:01.084 --> 00:38:07.004 - But that will take years. - Quite so, but at least it is better than nothing. 00:38:07.004 --> 00:38:10.084 Hurry children, your ice-cream is melting. 00:38:10.084 --> 00:38:36.096 - Tara, it's almost 2 o'clock darling. - Thank-you Miss Rose. 00:38:36.096 --> 00:38:40.006 Oh daddy, I'm thinking of you. 00:38:40.006 --> 00:38:49.008 And I know, wherever you are, you're thinking of me too. 00:38:49.008 --> 00:38:54.000 Oh Miss Rose. I felt him with me, I really did! 00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:59.096 Miss Minchin wants you dear. Oh, all right. 00:38:59.096 --> 00:39:06.028 - Children, you will leave your gifts here. - Why? Where are they going? 00:39:06.028 --> 00:39:10.088 -Why can't they take the presents with them? - Because they are not yours to give. 00:39:10.088 --> 00:39:14.092 - But I don't understand. - You will later. Go to your room now. 00:39:14.092 --> 00:39:20.028 - But Miss Minchin. - Sara, go to your room. 00:39:20.028 --> 00:39:25.028 All of you. 00:39:25.028 --> 00:39:29.088 Now will you tell her what it's all about? What has happened Miss Minchin? Whatever it is, you may want to let her off a bit easier. 00:39:29.088 --> 00:39:35.024 Silence! Captain Crew is dead. His name appeared on the list today. 00:39:35.024 --> 00:39:41.096 He left the child a pauper. Oh Miss Minchin. You had better tell her. 00:39:41.096 --> 00:40:00.076 - Oh, I couldn't do that. - You will do as you are told. 00:40:00.076 --> 00:40:05.002 Oh Miss Rose. What's wrong? Why did Miss Minchin stop the party? 00:40:05.002 --> 00:40:13.008 Sara, I want to talk to you dear. 00:40:13.008 --> 00:40:18.008 - Oh darling........ -Oh Miss Rose! What is it? 00:40:18.008 --> 00:40:23.004 Sara, you're a soldier's daughter..... 00:40:23.004 --> 00:40:29.092 .....and you know that means being brave and courageous, don't you? No matter what happens. 00:40:29.092 --> 00:40:37.006 - Oh Miss Rose! Is it something awful? - Your father..... 00:40:37.006 --> 00:40:42.008 But my father is all right. Mafeking is set free. You heard them say so. 00:40:42.008 --> 00:40:50.028 Help didn't get there soon enough dear, for him. His name appeared on the list this morning. 00:40:50.028 --> 00:40:56.006 - You mean with the wounded? - No dear. 00:40:56.006 --> 00:41:02.016 My daddy is... 00:41:02.016 --> 00:41:06.036 Oh Sara, I'm so sorry. 00:41:06.036 --> 00:41:22.088 It can't be! It isn't true! I won't believe it! He isn't dead! He isn't! 00:41:22.088 --> 00:41:27.008 - Have you? - Yes. 00:41:27.008 --> 00:41:37.064 You may go. 00:41:37.064 --> 00:41:48.056 You may go. 00:41:48.056 --> 00:42:34.044 Come with me. 00:42:34.044 --> 00:42:37.068 This is to be your room in the future. 00:42:37.068 --> 00:42:42.048 I shall have to sell your furnishings and clothes, to pay part of the debt your father owes. 00:42:42.048 --> 00:42:48.006 Ordinarily, you would go to a charitable institution, but I'm going to let you remain here. 00:42:48.006 --> 00:42:52.008 There will be duties for you to perform, of course. 00:42:52.008 --> 00:43:00.032 I hope you appreciate my kindness in not sending you away. 00:43:00.032 --> 00:43:05.088 I was unable to fi nd a black dress among your things, but one of the girls has given you this. 00:43:05.088 --> 00:43:10.008 You'd better take off that party frock and put this on. 00:43:10.008 --> 00:43:40.002 I'll send up some shoes. 00:43:40.002 --> 00:43:48.064 I don't believe it. I don't, I don't! 00:43:48.064 --> 00:43:55.076 My daddy has to go away. But he'll return most any day. 00:43:55.076 --> 00:44:04.096 Any moment I may see, my daddy coming back to me. 00:44:04.096 --> 00:44:09.036 And Miss Minchin is going to sell all her things. 00:44:09.036 --> 00:44:19.072 - It was beastly having to give back all our presents. - How do you feel now about your little Princess? 00:44:19.072 --> 00:44:37.056 - Oh Miss. Is there anything I can do? - No Becky, but thank-you. 00:44:37.056 --> 00:44:42.016 Sara, I'm sorry. 00:44:42.016 --> 00:44:47.092 Sara, from now on, you are not to sit with us. Return to your room and smooth down those curls. 00:44:47.092 --> 00:44:55.006 And then go to the kitchen. Run along now. 00:44:55.006 --> 00:45:10.036 Lavina, you may take your old place, beside me. 00:45:10.036 --> 00:45:14.006 - Mrs. O'Connel. - Oh, so the Misses has sent you down to me, has she? 00:45:14.006 --> 00:45:20.052 - Miss Minchin said that I am to have my breakfast here. - You'll do more than eat your breakfast if you work for that one. 00:45:20.052 --> 00:45:25.052 - I should be glad to help. - You will eh? 00:45:25.052 --> 00:45:29.076 Look at you! Look what you're doing! For that you'll get no breakfast. 00:45:29.076 --> 00:45:33.096 Min, you'd better make some more toast for the Misses. Right. 00:45:33.096 --> 00:45:39.092 Here's your breakfast. Take it over there. We don't associate with royality. 00:45:39.092 --> 00:45:45.008 - Let me wait on you Miss. No you don't. - She can wait on herself. You can sit there and watch her eat. 00:45:45.008 --> 00:45:53.032 Perhaps that will teach you a leson. 00:45:53.032 --> 00:45:57.096 Please Mrs. O'Connel. May I give my breakfast to Becky? I'm not that hungry this morning. 00:45:57.096 --> 00:46:06.076 Give it to the cat if you like. Then get to work and wash them dishes. 00:46:06.076 --> 00:46:24.024 No Miss, I don't want it. 00:46:24.024 --> 00:46:34.076 The mail just came. 00:46:34.076 --> 00:46:52.044 The mail just came. 00:46:52.044 --> 00:46:58.076 My darling girl. I have been half mad trying to find a way out of you since your letter reached me. 00:46:58.076 --> 00:47:02.004 But it has come! My grandfather has relented. 00:47:02.004 --> 00:47:10.024 I pray him, that this money and my love will help you bear what lies ahead. Geoffrey. 00:47:10.024 --> 00:47:16.002 - You say this girl's a teacher at your school? - She was, until I discharged her today. 00:47:16.002 --> 00:47:19.008 We're not likely to hear from her again. 00:47:19.008 --> 00:47:23.068 And I was prepared to turn over a handsome sum to that boy when he got back. 00:47:23.068 --> 00:47:27.032 I even made an ass of myself and sent him a check. 00:47:27.032 --> 00:47:32.088 Then I was right to withhold this. He made it over to her. 00:47:32.088 --> 00:47:38.064 - You're not very fond of the girl, are you? - Hardly, under the circumstances. 00:47:38.064 --> 00:47:44.006 - Are you sure the girl has no legitimate claims on him? - I brought her up from a fondling. 00:47:44.006 --> 00:47:52.028 Is it likely, she would not have consulted me if their love had been respectable. 00:47:52.028 --> 00:47:56.088 Ram Dass! 00:47:56.088 --> 00:48:03.002 Yes sir? In future if any letters or cables come from Mr. Geoffrey, they're to be returned, unopened. 00:48:03.002 --> 00:48:20.064 As you wish sahib. 00:48:20.064 --> 00:48:24.032 Come in Becky. 00:48:24.032 --> 00:48:30.084 I'm glad you weren't asleep Miss. It's one of the lonely nights. 00:48:30.084 --> 00:48:35.024 I wonder where Miss Rose is? I shall miss her terribly. 00:48:35.024 --> 00:48:42.016 - We're all alone in the world now, aren't we Miss? - No, no, we're not alone. There is my father you know. 00:48:42.016 --> 00:48:49.024 -Your father? But cook said he...... - You mustn't say that. It isn't true. He's not dead. 00:48:49.024 --> 00:48:53.044 He sick or wounded somewhere, or he'd send for me. But he's not dead. 00:48:53.044 --> 00:48:58.008 - How do you know Miss? - Something inside tells me so. 00:48:58.008 --> 00:49:02.028 And sometimes I hear him calling for me. 00:49:02.028 --> 00:49:13.004 All alone Miss. 00:49:13.004 --> 00:49:17.024 - Buford! You're smoking! - As you see. 00:49:17.024 --> 00:49:23.096 - Today my good woman, the British army is behind me. - That uniform? You're not going to war. 00:49:23.096 --> 00:49:29.092 Quite! To the very cannon's mouth, if need be. But why? Because old girl. I've had it to the teeth with your bulling. 00:49:29.092 --> 00:49:35.028 And your treatment of Rose and little Sara is the last straw. I prefer the less painful horrors of the battlefield. 00:49:35.028 --> 00:49:38.072 - Are you daring to critize me? - Astonishing, isn't it? 00:49:38.072 --> 00:49:43.016 But it proves that I am competent to lead my men, into the very jaws of death. 00:49:43.016 --> 00:49:47.016 - After this, you may never expect help from me again. - I am quite calm. 00:49:47.016 --> 00:49:53.012 For if the blood-thirsty boar spares me, the foot-knights will see Bubbling Bertie once again. 00:49:53.012 --> 00:50:33.004 -Buford, you wouldn't do that to me? Oh wouldn't I? - Well, ta-ta old girl. 00:50:33.004 --> 00:50:37.004 If you please sir? What is it lassie? Were you at the seige of Mafeking? 00:50:37.004 --> 00:50:42.004 - Aye, that's where I stopped the bullet that stopped me. - Then did you know my father? 00:50:42.004 --> 00:50:46.004 - Your father? What might his name be lassie? - Captain I Crew. 00:50:46.004 --> 00:50:50.068 -Was your father a Captain? - Yes. They say he is dead, but I know it can't be. 00:50:50.068 --> 00:50:56.006 - I've asked so many soldiers about him. I hope you can tell me. - No lassie, I'm sorry, I can't. 00:50:56.006 --> 00:51:07.036 -Why don't you ask in the hospital there? - Maybe they'll have some record of him. Thank-you sir, I will! 00:51:07.036 --> 00:51:12.016 - If you please sir. - Well the little Princess as I live. 00:51:12.016 --> 00:51:16.000 Why Mr. Bertie, I thought you'd gone to war 00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:21.036 No, Lord Roberts wanted me to of course. But he said: "Bertie old boy, the wounded need you." 00:51:21.036 --> 00:51:25.076 So you stay here and cheer up the brave lads who have fallen in our dust corps." 00:51:25.076 --> 00:51:29.002 So I'm practically in command of this hospital. 00:51:29.002 --> 00:51:34.008 - Oh Mr. Bertie. Can my father be in there? - Your father Princess? 00:51:34.008 --> 00:51:38.006 Yes, you see I know he isn't dead. I've been looking and looking. 00:51:38.006 --> 00:51:44.056 He could be among the wounded, couldn't he? Yes..... I'm almost sure he is, somewhere. 00:51:44.056 --> 00:51:49.016 If you're in charge, could I please look for him in there? Well ah..... Pleeeeeease. 00:51:49.016 --> 00:52:07.076 Yes, yes of course you may. Things like that can happen you know. 00:52:07.076 --> 00:52:14.088 - Mr. Bertie, why did you join the command here? - Well disipline in the hospital is rather lax. 00:52:14.088 --> 00:52:20.064 I say Major. They're waiting for you in ward B. There is a lot of trash up there. 00:52:20.064 --> 00:52:24.064 - Very good. I'll get one of my men to attend to it. - Get one of your what?? 00:52:24.064 --> 00:52:31.096 Well then 2 of my men, carry on! 00:52:31.096 --> 00:52:35.002 Portor! Sir? 00:52:35.002 --> 00:52:42.012 - What's this child doing here before visiting hours? - Well you see... Well, well, well. If you please sir. The Major is helping me find my father. 00:52:42.012 --> 00:52:46.012 - The Major? - For her sir. You see, we're old friends sir. 00:52:46.012 --> 00:52:49.096 I knew her father, Captin Crew was reported killed at Mafeking. 00:52:49.096 --> 00:52:53.006 The child is sure there is some mistake, so I'm helping her search among the wounded. 00:52:53.006 --> 00:53:00.092 - Could you tell me anything about my father sir? - Sorry my dear, I can't. 00:53:00.092 --> 00:53:19.072 - Carry on, Major! - Yes, sir. Thank-you sir. 00:53:19.072 --> 00:53:34.068 This little girl's father has been killed, but she insists he's alive so I'm letting her look around. 00:53:34.068 --> 00:53:49.044 We'll try another ward. 00:53:49.044 --> 00:53:52.088 - There's old Bertie. - Give us a song mate. 00:53:52.088 --> 00:54:00.036 Attention men! Attention! Official inspection. 00:54:00.036 --> 00:54:06.072 He isn't here either. But someone might know about him. 00:54:06.072 --> 00:54:12.044 - If you please sir. Were you at the seige of Mafeking? - I was that darling. It's there I got bit by a bug. 00:54:12.044 --> 00:54:18.002 It was no bigger than the seed of a thistle and it laid me low. Ah, the bugs down there are worse than the bullets. 00:54:18.002 --> 00:54:24.036 - Perhaps you didn't know my father? - Afraid I wouldn't have known me own father, with the fever that was on me. 00:54:24.036 --> 00:54:37.096 - Thank-you sir. - It's all right darling. 00:54:37.096 --> 00:54:45.008 - If you please sir. Were you with the troops at Mafeking? -Yes, yes of course I was. That's where I ran away. 00:54:45.008 --> 00:54:50.024 - Then did you know my father, Captain Crew? - Yes, yes of course. 00:54:50.024 --> 00:54:56.056 - That's a fine looking officer, isn't he? He ought to do well. - Well when did you see my father last? Where is he now? 00:54:56.056 --> 00:55:01.002 Where is who? My father. Oh, one soldier more or less, doesn't make any difference you know. 00:55:01.002 --> 00:55:07.088 I'm making thousands and thousands for England. Fine strong fellows, who won't be afraid like I was. 00:55:07.088 --> 00:55:17.068 I was afraid of the noise. That's why I ran away you know? 00:55:17.068 --> 00:55:25.036 - He says he knows my father, but he won't tell. - He's been living in a dream Sara, he doesn't know what he's saying. 00:55:25.036 --> 00:55:28.006 Don't go yet lad. Give us a song! 00:55:28.006 --> 00:55:34.000 - How about it dear? Shall we sing them a song to cheer them up? - Our old speciality. Not today Mr. Bertie. 00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:39.092 - Oh come on darling. Let's try and forget our own troubles and do something for these lads, shall we? - All right, I'll try. 00:55:39.092 --> 00:56:53.076 - What about "The Old Kent Road"? Yeah, that's the one. Mackie will play for you. - I'd be delighted Mac. 00:56:53.076 --> 00:56:59.052 - Mr. Bertie, will it be all right if I come again tomorrow? - I shouldn't run away too often Princess. You might get punished you know. 00:56:59.052 --> 00:57:04.092 - I'll keep a sharp look-out for whenever the wounded come in. -You don't really believe he come, do you? 00:57:04.092 --> 00:57:09.032 Yes, yes, of course I do. I told you missing men often turn up. 00:57:09.032 --> 00:57:13.036 Then I'd better come. You might not know him, if he's very much changed. 00:57:13.036 --> 00:57:22.056 - All right dear. You come. - Good-bye Mr. Bertie. Good-bye dear. 00:57:22.056 --> 00:57:28.068 Are you hungry. 00:57:28.068 --> 00:57:35.004 Poor little things. There won't be any worms for you this morning. 00:57:35.004 --> 00:57:40.002 Good-morning little misses sahib. Good morning Ras Dass. Feeding your little friends? 00:57:40.002 --> 00:57:49.004 -Yes, but I couldn't feed them very much from my supper last night. - It is difficult for them when the snow comes. 00:57:49.004 --> 00:57:53.004 Rani, Rani! 00:57:53.004 --> 00:57:58.006 You look as though you are being naughty and enjoying it. 00:57:58.006 --> 00:58:02.008 - Her she is, on the bookshelf. - Bookshelf? 00:58:02.008 --> 00:58:06.028 Oh I forgot. I pretend it's a bookshelf and fill them with beautiful books. 00:58:06.028 --> 00:58:18.000 Well I'd better remove her, before she ruins your set of Dickens. 00:58:18.000 --> 00:58:23.016 This is your room Misses sahib? It's so old and so high above everything, it's almost like a nest in a tree. 00:58:23.016 --> 00:58:29.012 I can lie on my soft sofa and look up into the sky through that little window on the roof. 00:58:29.012 --> 00:58:32.096 - Sofa? - It looks more like a soft sofa when it's made up. 00:58:32.096 --> 00:58:40.024 Can you imagine it has down quilts and lovely cushions to curl up on. 00:58:40.024 --> 00:58:47.032 - There is a fire sometimes, of course? - Well, that is the hardest sometimes, to imagine. 00:58:47.032 --> 00:58:54.008 But it's lovely when you can. The grate shines so when it is polished and the bright coals on the hearth. 00:58:54.008 --> 00:59:00.000 - Oh hurry Miss. Cook is in an awful dither. - Oh my goodness. Excuse me if I run. 00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:18.008 I've got to go to the butcher. I'll get my ears boxed if I don't hurry. 00:59:18.008 --> 00:59:24.092 Listen to this: Hospital Ship Mercy arrived with 1 200 wounded disembarked. 00:59:24.092 --> 00:59:28.000 -Does it give any of the names? - There ain't no list. 00:59:28.000 --> 00:59:36.064 Oh I hope my poor Harry's among them. A wounded husband is better than no husband at all, eh Min? 00:59:36.064 --> 00:59:45.028 Oh Becky, I've got to get to the hospital before 9 o'clock when they close for visitors. 00:59:45.028 --> 00:59:51.004 Sara! You clumsy ox! For that you'll whistle for your supper. 00:59:51.004 --> 00:59:56.002 Oh Mame, Sara didn't get know lunch. You put things away before she got back from the grocer. 00:59:56.002 --> 01:00:06.096 Who do you think you're talking to? You'll both go hungry. Now clean up this mess. Go on, get on with it! 01:00:06.096 --> 01:00:12.088 There some sorry cases in this batch, doctor. 01:00:12.088 --> 01:00:17.068 Doctor, this man is an unknown. His papers were lost. Delerium following maleria fever. 01:00:17.068 --> 01:00:22.068 - We're very much concerned about him sir. - Heart action, weak resperation, well that's to be expected. 01:00:22.068 --> 01:00:29.004 - He has no lucid moments. - Temporary paralyzes of some nerve center or a blood clot possibly. 01:00:29.004 --> 01:00:35.016 More likely to be the latter sir. He received a nasty headwound. 01:00:35.016 --> 01:00:39.016 - He repeated the call of this person Sara. - You can't know who this Sara is? 01:00:39.016 --> 01:00:56.008 No way of finding out sir, until his identity is established. 01:00:56.008 --> 01:01:06.002 - You'd better go now Miss. - I'll finish up for you. Thank-you Becky. I'll have to fly. 01:01:06.002 --> 01:01:16.096 Here hold your horses. Where do you think you're going? Miss Lavina want's some coal for her fire. Hop to it. 01:01:16.096 --> 01:01:22.012 Oh Sara! You look so tired and you look hungry too. 01:01:22.012 --> 01:01:40.076 - Are you actually hungry Sara? - Yes! I am hungry. I'm so hungry I could eat you! 01:01:40.076 --> 01:01:48.004 Put on plenty, my father pays for it. 01:01:48.004 --> 01:01:54.076 Put on plenty, my father pays for it. 01:01:54.076 --> 01:02:06.024 Come back here and clean up that hearth! 01:02:06.024 --> 01:02:12.096 I'd like my shawl. The pink one. It's on my bed. 01:02:12.096 --> 01:03:01.012 Cover me please. I find the room a bit chilly. 01:03:01.012 --> 01:03:05.052 -Hello Princess, what are you doing out so late? - I've come to see the new soldiers that arrived today. 01:03:05.052 --> 01:03:11.048 - Not tonight my girl. It's closing time. - But I've got to. I ran away especially. 01:03:11.048 --> 01:03:16.028 - Please let me in. I'm sure he's here this time. - You're sure every time Princess. 01:03:16.028 --> 01:03:45.044 I'm sorry. You run on home and come back tomorrow morning. That's a good little girl. All right, good-night now. 01:03:45.044 --> 01:03:50.004 He'll recover from the effects of the fever, but I'm convinced there is brain pressure. 01:03:50.004 --> 01:03:55.008 - You advise an operation then? Yes. Do you agree. - I do and Dr. McNesh in Edinburgh is the man. 01:03:55.008 --> 01:04:19.056 Prepare this man for removal to Edinburgh tomorrow. Yes doctor. 01:04:19.056 --> 01:04:24.056 Sara, where have you been? 01:04:24.056 --> 01:04:28.002 - Answer me. You've been out, haven't you? - Yes Miss Minchin. 01:04:28.002 --> 01:04:32.006 - What do you mean by disobeying my orders? - I had to, I had to look for my father. 01:04:32.006 --> 01:04:38.076 All this ridiculous searching for your father. All this making believe and refusing to face facts, it's indecent. 01:04:38.076 --> 01:04:45.008 - I've had enough of it. You must realize once and for all that your father is dead. - Don't you say that. He's not dead. He's not! 01:04:45.008 --> 01:04:55.004 - And you can't stop me from looking for him either. - How dare you speak to me in that manner you little...... 01:04:55.004 --> 01:05:04.028 I'll attend to you further in the morning. 01:05:04.028 --> 01:05:09.024 I can't be a good soldier for much longer. I'm cold and I'm hungry too. 01:05:09.024 --> 01:05:16.056 Do you hear? No, you don't hear and you don't care. You're nothing but a doll, a doll! 01:05:16.056 --> 01:07:13.076 You've never had a heart to make you feel. You're just a doll. 01:07:13.076 --> 01:07:17.004 Your Highness, please forgive me, but something has gone amiss. 01:07:17.004 --> 01:07:22.000 There is an angry woman outside to report a stolen kiss. 01:07:22.000 --> 01:07:25.084 Tell her she must go away. Come around some other day. 01:07:25.084 --> 01:07:30.024 I have told her but she won't. You must see her, if you don't, she'll scream her head off. 01:07:30.024 --> 01:07:35.008 - Tell her to hush. She won't be hushed. - Then tell her to shush! I'm afraid she won't be shushed. 01:07:35.008 --> 01:07:41.076 I won't be hushed, I won't be shushed, I know my rights and I know also what I saw. 01:07:41.076 --> 01:07:44.004 - What did you see? - I saw him. 01:07:44.004 --> 01:07:46.036 You saw who? I mean whom? 01:07:46.036 --> 01:07:50.096 I saw that lad steal a kiss, from that shameless little miss. 01:07:50.096 --> 01:07:55.036 Don't be fooled by all their shyness, they're a wicked pair Your Highness. 01:07:55.036 --> 01:07:59.004 The Law says in its shining, that you should not kiss in this land. 01:07:59.004 --> 01:08:04.000 There's a law I understand, against kissing in this land. 01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:07.064 There is a law that reads like this. No one is to steal a kiss. 01:08:07.064 --> 01:08:12.024 Ah but Princess, I've a feeling, this isn't a case of stealing. 01:08:12.024 --> 01:08:15.012 Silence fool. I know the law. What I say I saw, I saw. 01:08:15.012 --> 01:08:19.092 She's on a see-saw. What I saw, you saw, he saw, she saw. 01:08:19.092 --> 01:08:24.016 On a see-saw. On a see-saw. l saw, you saw, he saw, she saw. 01:08:24.016 --> 01:08:28.036 What she tells us may be true. And if it is, what can we do? 01:08:28.036 --> 01:08:32.002 If you ask me, we should listen, to the lad who did the kissing. 01:08:32.002 --> 01:08:37.056 Let him speak. Come lad this way. Now then, what have you to say? 01:08:37.056 --> 01:08:42.096 Please Your Highness, I confess. When I saw such lovliness... 01:08:42.096 --> 01:08:47.092 ...it was too much to resist. I just thought she should be kisssed. 01:08:47.092 --> 01:08:52.092 So I kissed her, kissed her twice. It was very, very nice. 01:08:52.092 --> 01:08:57.052 So he kissed her, kissed her twice. It was very, very nice. 01:08:57.052 --> 01:09:01.036 There you see, he broke the law. What I say I saw, I saw. 01:09:01.036 --> 01:09:07.012 - Please don't start all that again. - But he stole a kiss, that's plain. 01:09:07.012 --> 01:09:14.096 Yes, it looks as if it's true and I'll have to punish you. 01:09:14.096 --> 01:09:21.048 No please. Let me say a word. It is not the way you heard. 01:09:21.048 --> 01:09:32.024 Please, he did not steal a kiss. I gave it to him. Just like this. 01:09:32.024 --> 01:09:35.088 There you see, I had a feeling, this was not a case of stealing. 01:09:35.088 --> 01:09:44.072 I'm not sure, it's not quite plain, could I see that kiss again? 01:09:44.072 --> 01:09:49.012 You were right, I have a feeling, this was not a case of stealing. 01:09:49.012 --> 01:09:53.052 Right! The law has been abused. This lad has falsely been accused. 01:09:53.052 --> 01:09:57.056 He's hers and she's hisn's, that old witch should go to prison. 01:09:57.056 --> 01:10:02.056 - You're a very wicked woman. - Princess, I am only human. 01:10:02.056 --> 01:10:07.072 Listen to the old grand-mommy. You're a nasty peeping-tommy. 01:10:07.072 --> 01:10:12.016 Banish her from here forever. Never show your face here, never. 01:10:12.016 --> 01:10:15.096 Banish her from here forever. Never show your face here, never. 01:10:15.096 --> 01:10:22.068 But what I say I saw, I saw. I know my rights, I know the law! 01:10:22.068 --> 01:10:28.024 Come and sit beside me here. Your kiss has made things very clear. 01:10:28.024 --> 01:10:30.016 Thank-you Princess. 01:10:30.016 --> 01:10:37.084 Don't thank me. Was that kiss, that set you free. 01:10:37.084 --> 01:10:41.068 Now we're through with this arrangement. Let us have some entertainment. 01:10:41.068 --> 01:11:44.002 Bring the dancers, bring the singers, bring the good old welting ringers. 01:11:44.002 --> 01:12:19.088 - The new ballerina? She please you? - She's a very good dancer. She looks familiar too. 01:12:19.088 --> 01:12:27.096 What a nice dream. I feel quite warm. 01:12:27.096 --> 01:12:41.096 I don't want to wake up. 01:12:41.096 --> 01:13:02.068 I haven't waked up. 01:13:02.068 --> 01:13:09.004 I must be dreaming. 01:13:09.004 --> 01:13:14.000 I am dreaming. 01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:19.016 I must be dreaming. But it feels warm. 01:13:19.016 --> 01:13:24.036 Becky, Becky come quick. 01:13:24.036 --> 01:13:29.032 - Yes Miss? - Look! 01:13:29.032 --> 01:13:32.096 Oh no Miss.

Yes Miss. - What do you see? I see some fire Miss. 01:13:43.092 --> 01:13:48.052 And a table with food on it, and a rug and a lamp, and slippers? 01:13:48.052 --> 01:13:54.008 I do indeed Miss. How did it all get here? Did you pretend it into happening? 01:13:54.008 --> 01:13:58.088 I don't know. I never pretended as good as this before. 01:13:58.088 --> 01:14:05.000 Look at these. 01:14:05.000 --> 01:14:12.088 - If the little misses sahib knew, she'd be over here to thank you. - Who wants any thanks? 01:14:12.088 --> 01:14:21.012 - Oh Miss! You're beautiful! - Thanks Becky. Now let's try this one on you. 01:14:21.012 --> 01:14:26.048 - Isn't it beautiful? Oh yes Miss. - It's perfect. And real satin too. 01:14:26.048 --> 01:14:29.096 Let's try the slippers and see if they're real. 01:14:29.096 --> 01:14:34.036 - Do they feel like slippers to you? - They feel soft and warm. 01:14:34.036 --> 01:14:38.096 This feels soft and warm too. They're as real as we are. 01:14:38.096 --> 01:14:42.008 I don't believe it's a dream after all. 01:14:42.008 --> 01:14:50.028 - Do you suppose the food is real Miss? - Let us see. 01:14:50.028 --> 01:14:55.044 - I can smell kippers, can you? - Kippers and onions. 01:14:55.044 --> 01:14:59.028 I wonder what this is? Muffins! 01:14:59.028 --> 01:15:03.012 This tastes like a muffin. Is it one? 01:15:03.012 --> 01:15:07.056 A muffin that ever was. It must be the magic Miss. 01:15:07.056 --> 01:15:13.088 Hadn't we better be quick before it melts away? 01:15:13.088 --> 01:15:16.096 - What sort of night did he have? - He rested comfortably doctor. 01:15:16.096 --> 01:15:20.008 - Will we be able to send him with the others? - Will we be able to send him with the others? 01:15:20.008 --> 01:15:38.006 Get him ready to be sent with group D. He'll be leaving in about an hour. 01:15:38.006 --> 01:15:43.008 I hear you're being punished. Do you think we ought to offer her a chocolate? 01:15:43.008 --> 01:15:48.000 - You must let her smell them. - Miss Minchin surely couldn't object to that. 01:15:48.000 --> 01:15:53.000 - Would you care to? - I don't want to smell them, and I don't want to eat them. 01:15:53.000 --> 01:15:58.036 - You don't!? Why not? - I've had much nicer things than chocolate this morning. 01:15:58.036 --> 01:16:02.004 - Listen to the Princess, pretending again. -I'm not pretending. 01:16:02.004 --> 01:16:06.044 I had the most wonderful things to eat, that anyone had. 01:16:06.044 --> 01:16:11.024 - Why you little liar. You haven't even had breakfast. - Pardon me, but I really have. 01:16:11.024 --> 01:16:15.064 Excuse me for saying so, it isn't polite to call people liars. 01:16:15.064 --> 01:16:23.012 - How dare you talk back to me. -Was I doing that? My goodness. 01:16:23.012 --> 01:16:26.096 So sorry. 01:16:26.096 --> 01:16:35.000 You wait til I tell Miss Minchin on you! 01:16:35.000 --> 01:16:37.072 Well, everything is still here Becky. 01:16:37.072 --> 01:16:41.052 - Thank heavens it's stopped raining. - Are you going some place Miss? 01:16:41.052 --> 01:16:45.076 To the hospital. Becky, perhaps everything is going to change for us. 01:16:45.076 --> 01:16:50.056 Perhaps I'll find my father this time and he'll take us away from here. 01:16:50.056 --> 01:16:55.036 Oh no! It's the Misses. 01:16:55.036 --> 01:16:58.006 Sara, how dare you...... 01:16:58.006 --> 01:17:02.064 - Why, what's happened to this room? -That's what we would like to know. 01:17:02.064 --> 01:17:07.004 When I woke up this morning, here everything was. Even to the food and the fire. 01:17:07.004 --> 01:17:14.016 - Where did you get these things? - I don't know. Maybe because I dreamed such a beautiful dream last night, that it came true. 01:17:14.016 --> 01:17:18.000 These articles are rare and costly. You stole them, didn't you? 01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:22.006 - Oh no Miss Minchin. We didn't take these things. - I'll give you one more chance to tell me the truth. 01:17:22.006 --> 01:17:27.004 - But I am telling you the truth. - They just came. Yes, they did indeed Mame. 01:17:27.004 --> 01:17:31.002 You go to your room. This is a matter for the police. 01:17:31.002 --> 01:17:44.028 - Oh please Miss Minchin. Please don't call the police. - Of course I'll call them. 01:17:44.028 --> 01:17:49.024 - Oh we're prisoners sure enough Miss, and the police coming too. - I can't be arrested. 01:17:49.024 --> 01:17:55.004 - Those new wounded men are at the hospital and I got to get to them. - I don't see how you can Miss. 01:17:55.004 --> 01:18:00.096 Come on Becky, quick. Where are we going Miss? Follow me. 01:18:00.096 --> 01:18:09.004 - Oh I'm so frightened Miss. I'm frightened this time too. - Come on Becky, give me your hand. 01:18:09.004 --> 01:18:22.004 - Oh low Miss. - Don't be afraid Becky. 01:18:22.004 --> 01:18:27.006 - Ah, what game is this little Misses sihib? - Can we please go through your house? We're running away from the police. 01:18:27.006 --> 01:18:40.028 - And a very nice game to. Would you enter? -We would like to, very much indeed. 01:18:40.028 --> 01:18:45.064 - You seem in great haste Miss sihib. Will you not stop for a cup of tea? - Oh no thank you. We're in too big of a hurry. 01:18:45.064 --> 01:18:48.072 Oh, I see. You are still playing the game of the police. 01:18:48.072 --> 01:18:53.032 - I hope you escape in safety Miss sihib. - So do I. Oh low Miss, police!! 01:18:53.032 --> 01:18:59.028 - There they are! Stop them! -Becky, run, run! 01:18:59.028 --> 01:19:04.024 Sara, Becky! Stop where you are! 01:19:04.024 --> 01:19:08.008 Go after the other one. I'll take care of her. 01:19:08.008 --> 01:19:29.096 Watch out Becky, don't slip. Becky, where are you? 01:19:29.096 --> 01:19:34.076 - Wretched little beast. You'll go to jail, both of you! - You'll never catch Sara. Mr. Bertie will see to that. 01:19:34.076 --> 01:19:41.008 So that's where she's gone. Well did you find them Mame? Take this little thief and don't let her out of your sight till I return. 01:19:41.008 --> 01:19:45.048 - Did you catch her? She dodged her way into traffic. - I couldn't find her anywhere. Do you know where she's likely to be? 01:19:45.048 --> 01:19:53.092 I do. Cabbie! 01:19:53.092 --> 01:20:02.056 Harvard Hospital and hurry please. 01:20:02.056 --> 01:20:20.008 He never stops calling for her. 01:20:20.008 --> 01:20:25.000 Step aside a little bit will you? Ah, ah, ah. You can't go in there. 01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:28.084 - No visitors allowed for an hour. - But that might be too late. 01:20:28.084 --> 01:20:35.000 Now run along little girl, will you? 01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:39.004 - I'm sorry sir. No visitors allowed for an hour. - But we must go in. 01:20:39.004 --> 01:20:51.028 Sorry sir. You can stand over there, if that's all right. 01:20:51.028 --> 01:20:55.012 - Have you seen Captain Marks? - I believe he just went through the hall Miss. 01:20:55.012 --> 01:21:00.068 - Sorry young one, but you can't go upstairs now. - But I've got to. I've got to see if my father is here before Miss Minchin catches me. 01:21:00.068 --> 01:21:05.012 Run along now. Do as you are told. 01:21:05.012 --> 01:21:10.048 I say there. You come back here. You can't go up there. 01:21:10.048 --> 01:21:13.052 You can't go in there. 01:21:13.052 --> 01:21:17.036 Let me go, let me go. I want to be here. I will! I will! 01:21:17.036 --> 01:21:21.008 Porter!! 01:21:21.008 --> 01:21:24.084 What is it the child wants? 01:21:24.084 --> 01:21:29.064 - Please, please don't let them take me away. - What is it child? 01:21:29.064 --> 01:21:34.008 My father. They say he was killed at Mafeking, but I don't believe it. 01:21:34.008 --> 01:21:37.092 He may be with the new wounded men, but they won't let me look. 01:21:37.092 --> 01:21:44.004 If they don't, perhaps I'll never have another chance. Can't you make them let me look. 01:21:44.004 --> 01:21:49.008 Colonel. Could you see that this child is escorted through the hospital? 01:21:49.008 --> 01:21:56.052 With permission, I shall accompany her personally Your Majesty. 01:21:56.052 --> 01:22:03.006 - What is your name? - Victoria. What is yours? 01:22:03.006 --> 01:22:12.008 Sara.......Oh Your Majesty! 01:22:12.008 --> 01:22:16.028 Colonel. 01:22:16.028 --> 01:22:23.036 I hope that you will fi nd your father my dear. A thorough search Colonel. 01:22:23.036 --> 01:22:38.012 - Oh thank-you Your Majesty. - Good-bye my dear. 01:22:38.012 --> 01:22:41.076 - Have you been through any of the wards yet? - Not today sir. 01:22:41.076 --> 01:22:55.006 I think we'd better cover this wing first. 01:22:55.006 --> 01:23:03.064 We are searching for a patient. Move right along dear. 01:23:03.064 --> 01:23:13.044 - Is it all right? - Thank-you darling. 01:23:13.044 --> 01:23:18.024 - Miss Rose! - Sara darling! 01:23:18.024 --> 01:23:23.006 Oh Mr. Geoffrey. You're home, you're back again. You can tell me where my daddy is. 01:23:23.006 --> 01:23:27.008 Well Geoffrey didn't get as far as Mafeking dear. 01:23:27.008 --> 01:23:32.024 Then you don't know? You didn't even see him? 01:23:32.024 --> 01:23:39.052 No dear, I didn't. I'm sorry. 01:23:39.052 --> 01:23:42.004 - Have you found him? - Oh, no sir. 01:23:42.004 --> 01:23:47.002 This is my friend Mr. Geoffrey and his wife. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton. 01:23:47.002 --> 01:23:51.004 - Mrs. Hamilton. - I'm afraid I can't introduce you, because I don't know your name. - I'm Colonel Gordon. 01:23:51.004 --> 01:23:56.000 - This is Colonel Gordan. He's helping me search the hospital. - Oh, don't bother. How do you do sir? 01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:59.048 I'm very happy to know you both. From Mafeking? 01:23:59.048 --> 01:24:06.000 - No sir. An army mule, a British mule at that. - That's adding insult to injury. 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:10.006 -Sorry sir, but it's time for the patient's drops. - Well, I'd rather face that mule. 01:24:10.006 --> 01:24:14.006 I'll come back later Miss Rose. Just as soon as I've gone through the other wards. 01:24:14.006 --> 01:24:18.084 - I'll wait for you dear. - Good-bye. 01:24:18.084 --> 01:24:25.016 - Be sure to come back Sara. - I will. 01:24:25.016 --> 01:24:29.004 Poor little thing. She'll never stop hoping. 01:24:29.004 --> 01:24:36.068 - I insist that you send for my brother. -Very well Mame, but you can't get in. Brother or no brother. 01:24:36.068 --> 01:24:50.088 - We will get in. My brother will see to that. - I hope you're right Mame. 01:24:50.088 --> 01:24:55.008 All filled now. This man will have to wait until the next ambulance. 01:24:55.008 --> 01:25:06.006 I think you'd better take him into the waiting room. These halls are much too drafty. 01:25:06.006 --> 01:25:10.044 - I very sorry that you couldn't find your father. - Thank-you just the same sir. 01:25:10.044 --> 01:25:14.048 He may be on the next convoy of wounded. I wouldn't give up hope. I won't sir. 01:25:14.048 --> 01:25:19.084 - Good-bye and God bless. - Good-bye. 01:25:19.084 --> 01:25:25.004 I know that they were stolen. That is perposterous! I can prove it and I intend to turn her over to the authorities. 01:25:25.004 --> 01:25:47.064 She is in this hospital and I intend to find her. I insist that every room be searched. 01:25:47.064 --> 01:25:52.084 Sara... 01:25:52.084 --> 01:25:58.076 Sara... 01:25:58.076 --> 01:26:01.048 Daddy... 01:26:01.048 --> 01:26:06.064 Daddy, daddy! It is you! I found you, I found you! 01:26:06.064 --> 01:26:10.028 They said you were dead, but I knew you weren't. I knew you'd come back. 01:26:10.028 --> 01:26:18.072 Oh daddy, hold me, hold me close. You won't ever go away again, will you? 01:26:18.072 --> 01:26:22.096 What's the matter daddy? Why won't you talk to me? 01:26:22.096 --> 01:26:27.036 Don't you know me daddy? I'm Sara, I'm Sara. 01:26:27.036 --> 01:26:31.076 - Where is my daughter? - Oh daddy, something's happened to you. 01:26:31.076 --> 01:26:36.002 Mr. Bertie! Mr. Bertie! Oh daddy, you've got to know me. 01:26:36.002 --> 01:26:43.028 Look at me! 01:26:43.028 --> 01:26:48.064 You mustn't cry. You mustn't cry. 01:26:48.064 --> 01:26:54.008 - We must be good soldiers you know. - But I have been a good soldier daddy, but you don't know me. 01:26:54.008 --> 01:27:05.092 - My little Sara never cries. - But I'm Sara, I'm Sara! 01:27:05.092 --> 01:27:10.052 Yes, yes,...Sara! Sara! 01:27:10.052 --> 01:27:14.092 Sara, my darling. My baby Sara. 01:27:14.092 --> 01:27:24.052 Sara my darling. My little Sara. 01:27:24.052 --> 01:27:29.072 - Oh don't be ridiculous Amanada. - Well then how do you account for those silk covers, those robes and those other things that are there. 01:27:29.072 --> 01:27:35.064 Perhaps a little bird brought them in. Perhaps they grew legs and walked in. I don't know. One thing I do know is little Sara wouldn't steal them. 01:27:35.064 --> 01:27:40.064 Bertie! Yes? Berties, what do you think has happened? Little Princess has found her father. She's found him! 01:27:40.064 --> 01:27:47.092 - Captain Crew is alive? - Of course he's alive! How could she find him if he wasn't alive? 01:27:47.092 --> 01:27:54.044 - Oh Mr. Bertie, I found my father. - Darling, I'm so glad. 01:27:54.044 --> 01:28:07.048 Daddy, it's Your Majesty. 01:28:07.048 --> 99:59:59.999 My daddy.
