Short filmTranscript
01:01There's no place like home.
01:39I thought this was a poor form, really.
01:39I think we can both agree that he was no stranger to poor form.
01:44Really, Constance, sometimes your Yankee cynicism is a little wearing.
01:51Let's not start the party up in the coral.
01:54Our guests will be arriving soon.
01:56Shall we go?
02:15Not the green trunk, you silly man!
02:20Do you suppose any of the other house guests have worn that train?
02:22See that woman there? She's the Duke of Wilton's old nanny.
02:26That must be his boy.
02:27He looks like he'll be a good playmate for you, Tom.
02:30And be careful with that.
02:32If there are any breakages, I shall be holding you responsible.
02:39Tom, try not to make a show of yourself, eh?
02:57Oh, thank you, Polly. They're perfect. You may go.
03:04It's beautiful, Miss Isabel.
03:08I don't know what to say.
03:11Aunt! Are you feeling any better?
03:14I'm sorry, my dear. I'm retiring to bed.
03:18I'm afraid it means I'm unlikely to accompany you to the Wakely's lunch party tomorrow.
03:23Of course.
03:25You go and lie down and I'll get Polly to bring you some tea.
03:31It really is too bad.
03:34A lunch invitation, no chaperone, and it's nearly the end of the season.
03:40Tell me, what do you think of Captain Mason?
03:43Hmm. Handsome.
03:44You think so?
03:46Charming.
03:47Yes.
03:48And some say he's been seen with Mrs St John in circumstances that aren't perfectly proper.
03:54Hannah, I would have thought servants gossip beneath you.
03:59What kind of circumstances?
04:03In what way not proper?
04:05I've brought young Flory Smith, Miss.
04:09Good. Send her in, would you?
04:16How very timely.
04:18Nanny Randall?
04:20This is Flory Smith, your new nursery maid.
04:24Nursery maid?
04:25We don't need a new nursery maid, do we, Nanny?
04:28Oh, Bertie, but I think you do.
04:31Sometimes Nanny is so preoccupied with you and the baby that conversation becomes almost impossible.
04:37Come in, Flory.
04:39This is Nanny Randall.
04:41Now, you must do absolutely everything she tells you. Understood?
04:45Morning, Mum.
04:49You can't catch me!
04:53And what about this trunk?
04:55No, that's got all Tom's things in it.
04:58I wish we could get the afternoon off, Matty.
05:01Meet my mum and dad.
05:03Oh, and there's so many things I could show you.
05:06Afternoon off? You're joking.
05:08I should have asked the footman to take it straight into his room.
05:11Oh, well. We could carry it together.
05:15Lydia!
05:18There's a grand pond on the other side of the farm.
05:21Really quiet.
05:22Where you can have a swim and no-one will see you.
05:25And there's the apple orchards.
05:27Uh-huh.
05:27And a wood where you get more conkers than anywhere else in the country.
05:31Oh!
05:32Lydia!
05:33What on earth are you doing?
05:35Oh, sorry. We was just carrying it and...
05:37Well, be quick about it. Nanny Barlow's coming up the stairs.
05:41Oh!
05:43Nanny Barlow, welcome to Causton Hall once again.
05:47Nanny Collins?
05:51Are those children wearing their outdoor shoes?
05:55In the day, nursery, while wearing outdoor shoes?
06:00Do come this way, Nanny Barlow.
06:03I've got them to light a fire in your room.
06:13Nanny Wickham.
06:15Nanny Weston.
06:17It's good to get out of London, isn't it?
06:22I haven't seen him in years, let alone the past few weeks.
06:26Well, if you do see him...
06:28I'll run him round to Bowes Street meself.
06:30He nicked my purse when he left.
06:32You're not the only ones who want to get their hands on Ned.
06:34Don't worry.
06:36We'll find him eventually.
06:53Hey!
06:55What's it, girl?
06:57You finished dusting?
06:59Get downstairs and start boiling water.
07:00I want the hearth tiles in the night nursery scrubbed.
07:03Yes, Mrs. Grosky.
07:08Well, the cat's away, eh?
07:09That particular mouse needs no encouragement to play, least of all from you.
07:13Oh, come on, Mum.
07:15It's been a few times. We can just... relax.
07:17Relax?
07:18I've just had the police round again.
07:22What did you say?
07:23Exactly what I said last time.
07:24But this can't go on forever.
07:26I've got the police on the back doorstep,
07:28and that goes away in the country knowing everything about you.
07:31Oh, she don't know everything.
07:32You'd have to go run into the law if she's a mind.
07:34She won't.
07:35I can't believe you were in a town, Ned.
07:37Why do you keep going on about her?
07:40She's not here.
07:41She's hundreds of miles away in some swank country house
07:44worrying about whether the kids have got clean 80s.
07:47She's not thinking about you.
07:49Or me.
07:50Or anything got to do with what's going on here.
07:53She's not even...
07:56Oh, forget it.
08:01I notice that baby Ivo knaws in his fists when he's hungry, Nanny Collins.
08:08I find tying the hands to the sides of the chair soon stops that sort of thing.
08:13He's kicking me!
08:16Tom, feet still.
08:17It's not me. It's him.
08:19No, it's not.
08:20Lord Louis does not kick,
08:22and tattletales generally discover that God finds ways to punish them.
08:27Tattletale tit.
08:28Nanny!
08:29Lord Louis.
08:30I think it would be better if you kept your feet and your teas into yourself.
08:34Nanny Wickham.
08:35I thank you to keep your nose out, young lady.
08:37I don't think Nanny Wickham meant anything by it.
08:40Now, shall we all have a tea cake?
08:43Lord Louis is not permitted tea cakes.
08:46Not in the nursery at any rate.
08:48Only in the drawing room at the invitation of Lady Wilton.
08:52Come along, Louis.
08:54Time for your bath.
08:58Thank you for a delightful tea, Nanny Collins.
09:03You see, the boy bears no grudge.
09:08Nobility will out, I always say.
09:18The matter is decided.
09:20Help is needed in the nursery, and I have provided it.
09:24Now, which dress do you think?
09:26Ah, this one.
09:28It has the prettiest neckline.
09:30Yes, but Aunt Effie ordered it made with me without knowing anything about my size.
09:34It never really fitted.
09:37You'd look glorious in it.
09:39It's beautiful.
09:41It goes absolutely with your eyes.
09:44It's your day off tomorrow, isn't it?
09:46Were you planning anything?
09:48I just to visit a friend.
09:49Another Nanny?
09:50No, no, no, just someone in Limehouse.
09:52Someone?
09:54Don't tell me you have an admirer.
09:56No, nothing like that, just a friend.
10:00This one, I think.
10:01It makes my waist look smaller.
10:03And this friend?
10:05You've made definite arrangements?
10:07Oh, I've sent a note saying I'm coming, if I can get the day off.
10:10Why?
10:12No reason.
10:14But, of course, they didn't read, so the whole enterprise is a waste of time.
10:19Virginia quail red grass don't belong in Norfolk, do they?
10:22Kings have a no better.
10:25Yeah?
10:26Annabelle, I'm planning a game of croquet at the Weatherholt.
10:31Oh, dear.
10:32I'm not sure it isn't a little late for croquet.
10:36Rather too windy at this time of year, perhaps.
10:40But, certainly, if you are organising it, I shall endeavour to play.
10:44Mrs St. John, shall I put you down?
10:46Game birds are like foreigners.
10:49Best on their own turf.
10:54I should be delighted.
10:56Lady Wilton has agreed, and Mrs. Russbridge, and Mrs. Forshaw.
11:02Are you expecting any late arrivals?
11:04I believe Hugh is expected at some point.
11:07And one other.
11:08Grand chap, young Hugh.
11:09Always livens up a gathering.
11:10Yes, I'm always saying that if Louis turns out to be half the young man Hugh has become,
11:15I shall be delighted.
11:17Indeed.
11:20And your son, Mrs. St. John, Tom, a fine-looking little chap.
11:24How old is he?
11:25He's almost eight.
11:26How is his eight?
11:28Louis bagged some quite impressive numbers last season.
11:31Quite a keen little shot.
11:32Is he coming tomorrow, your boy?
11:33Most definitely.
11:34He's looking forward to it immensely.
11:36It'll be his first shoot.
11:37Good heavens.
11:39First shoot.
11:39And nearly eight.
11:41Ah!
11:47And now, I think we should leave the men to their boring talk of guns and races of birds.
11:53Shall we?
11:58Oh, by all means, Father.
12:00And tell them the ladies are retiring now.
12:02A late arrival.
12:06Ladies.
12:07Yes, sir.
12:15I fancy a small wage.
12:17You're on tomorrow's outcome.
12:18George here to bag at least a hundred more than anyone else.
12:22Pay no attention, St. John.
12:24He knows perfectly well that there'll be some far finer shots amongst us tomorrow.
12:27I know, I know.
12:28Good evening, Father.
12:29Hugh.
12:30Uncle.
12:32Sorry I'm late.
12:34A bit of business in time.
12:35I can see that.
12:36A business involved another man's fist, did it?
12:39Ah, yes.
12:40But you should see the other chap.
12:42A little misunderstanding over a member of the fairer sex, isn't that right, Hugh?
12:46You could say that.
12:47Still, as long as, what is it they say to the victor, the spoils, as long as he were the
12:51victor, Hugh.
12:52Oh, absolutely, Uncle Percy.
12:54Absolutely.
12:57Can't wait till Sunday.
12:59See my mum inside.
13:01Nanny Weston, don't speak with your mouth for her.
13:04I shall have to tell Lord Wilton.
13:07I'm telling you, one more word out of that stuck-up old prune phrase in Louisiana before we left London.
13:15Why?
13:17Well, I haven't seen her for ages.
13:19Wondered if she got herself a young man.
13:22Of course she hasn't.
13:23There's no need to sound so cross about it.
13:25There's nothing wrong with being in love.
13:29If you're a nanny, you could lose your position.
13:31I didn't expect that to stop many people.
13:33Well, we'll fall then, then.
13:36Nanny Wickham.
13:37How absolutely right of you to be so totally correct.
13:41Here, stick one of these in your mouth.
13:43Might sweeten you up a bit.
13:46You think I'm a therapist?
13:47Oh, no, not a therapist.
13:49Just sometimes a little bit too set on the straight and narrow.
13:52Hey!
13:52Yes, miss, you.
13:54Here, have two strawberries.
13:56Might make all the difference.
13:58Have three!
13:58Have three!
13:59Have three!
14:00Oh!
14:09Hey!
14:12Oh!
14:39Where are you going?
14:40Out.
15:03Constance.
15:04You?
15:05You're not joining us today?
15:07No, I don't shoot.
15:08I thought all American women could out shoot any Englishman.
15:11All that practice with the Redskins.
15:15Right, keep us sending the beaters up onto the first drive so we can get started.
15:19Ah, there you are!
15:21Really, Tom, is it too much to ask that you were eye properly pressed?
15:25Hat boy hat!
15:26I left it upstairs.
15:28Shall I go fetch it?
15:29No time.
15:30Pretty careless with hats altogether, eh, Sinjin?
15:33Not to worry.
15:34Right, forward march!
15:35Come on!
15:50Come on!
15:52You hear that young Tom?
15:54The beaters coming through the wood.
15:56Best sound in the world.
15:58Remember, Tom, listen to your loader.
16:01You can hop and see the birds before you can.
16:08There they come.
16:51Oh, Miss Isabel, you know what they say about fine feathers?
16:54They also say clothes make of the man.
16:56Or, in this case, woman.
16:59Well, it takes more than a tea gown to make someone a lady.
17:02Not if they're sharp and clever like you, Hannah.
17:05Some people are just naturally ladies.
17:08There.
17:10Some work with the curling irons, some good jewellery,
17:13and you could take tea at the Ritz without question.
17:16Just as well I could never afford tea at the Ritz, then.
17:19Ah, but a free lunch.
17:23Miss Hannah Randall... No.
17:26Miss Honoria Randall of the County Wicklow-Randalls,
17:30intimate friend of Miss Isabel Hutchinson,
17:33attended a luncheon given recently at 46 Grosvenor Square.
17:38Oh, no.
17:39Oh, why not?
17:40It'd be such fun!
17:41Miss Isabel!
17:43And it would help me enormously.
17:45You know how nervous I am about going.
17:48I couldn't.
17:49But you have to.
17:50You can't let me down now.
17:54I'm expected at Limehouse.
17:56Is that the only obstacle?
17:59You can go and see your friend another day.
18:08Oh!
18:09Mrs B!
18:10This come for you!
18:13It's from the Town Hall.
18:15We've all got one.
18:23No more baby things on the line, then.
18:27It's gone, has it?
18:29What about the girl?
18:31Gone away, yes.
18:32She got a job where they let her take the baby.
18:35Hard to come by, understanding employers.
18:38She was lucky.
18:40She got the job up Barclay Square.
18:43It's only my washing now.
18:46I've got to go.
18:48Here, what about your letter?
18:51It's about the drains!
18:54You sent yourself.
18:56I particularly feel this crustace.
18:58And this is Mr Sydney Chambers,
19:00a very good friend of the family.
19:02Mr Chambers is sure to want to ask you
19:04where you've been hiding this evening, Miss Randall.
19:08And this gentleman,
19:10I believe you have met already.
19:11Miss Hutchinson.
19:12Looking delightful as ever.
19:14Captain Mason,
19:16allow me to introduce you
19:17to my best and dearest friend,
19:20Miss Honoria Randall
19:21of the County Wicklay Randalls.
19:23Honoria is generally very shy, Captain Mason,
19:25but I've persuaded her
19:27to make a public appearance just this once.
19:31I'm sure her presence at lunch
19:32will enliven proceedings.
19:34Don't you agree?
19:35Miss Randall, I'm enchanted to meet you.
19:38Any friend of Miss Hutchinson
19:39will find favour with me.
19:43Shall we go in?
19:44Miss Randall?
19:46I'd be honoured.
19:58The police have been all over Lyman's asking questions,
20:00but no-one's saying anything.
20:02Summer's for friends.
20:03Ned,
20:04it was a bare-knuckle fight.
20:05The betting was illegal.
20:06No-one wants to go to prison.
20:07What an I do.
20:09Mind interrupting something?
20:11Fancy some company?
20:13Well, we was having a private conversation,
20:15but, er,
20:15we've finished the business side of things,
20:17haven't we, Ned?
20:17Yeah, I ought to be going.
20:19My mate Neil's up at the counter
20:21waiting for you to buy her a drink.
20:25And while you're up there,
20:26I'll have a drink.
20:27Miss Stout for...
20:29Ned, was it?
20:31I'm Vilo.
20:32Er...
20:34Vilo.
20:35I'm a busy man.
20:36I'm not so busy.
20:38You can't stop and have one drink.
20:43Unless, of course,
20:45there's someone else.
20:49There's no one.
20:51Good.
20:52Dan?
20:52He'll have a pint.
20:59A delightful lunch, Lady Wakefield.
21:01Thank you, Mr Chambers.
21:03And a delightful company.
21:05I think Chambers is paying you a compliment,
21:07Miss Randall.
21:08A compliment most sincerely meant.
21:11Am I to understand
21:12that Mr Chambers' compliment to me
21:13is equal to the one
21:15he's paying Lady Wakeley's cook?
21:16I don't know if I should be flattered
21:18or insulted.
21:19I assure you, Miss Randall,
21:21I rate you far superior,
21:23even to Lady Wakeley's superb syllabub.
21:25In that case, I shall attempt
21:26to accept your compliments sweetly.
21:29Although, I don't think
21:30I can measure up to my rival.
21:31I thought I just assured you...
21:33Your little subterview
21:34has been breathtakingly successful.
21:35Oh, what a difference, Mr Chambers.
21:36Annie's quite the toast of the day.
21:38of my superiority to the other courses.
21:40Gloria, I was just telling Captain Mason
21:42how much we'd enjoyed cows this year.
21:44You were there?
21:45Yes, sir.
22:07See you later, Annie.
22:09I thought you said you had to get back.
22:21I thought Lady Wakeley monopolised Captain Mason
22:24after lunch.
22:25And I hated her pearl choker.
22:27Pearls are so common now.
22:29Talking of which,
22:30perhaps you'd better give me the amber now,
22:32just in case.
22:50And you mustn't worry about what happened.
22:52It was just a silly accident.
22:55At least it's Sunday tomorrow.
22:58What's so good about Sunday?
23:00Can't go shooting on Sundays.
23:05I wish Ned was here.
23:10He's a footman, Tom.
23:11He has to stay in London.
23:19Are you sure you've got to get back?
23:21We could always stay here.
23:23Make a night of it.
23:25I've got a landlord who looks the other way.
23:32No.
23:33No.
23:34I'd better get back.
23:36Right then.
23:38We'll just have to make haste slowly,
23:40as they say.
23:41No.
23:42I mean now.
23:46I've got to get back now.
23:48Change your tune.
23:55I'm sorry.
23:57Thanks very much.
24:00It's not you.
24:02I thought I wanted...
24:03Just go.
24:04Eh?
24:24Good heavens.
24:25What I know it is that?
24:26Marjorie.
24:27Go upstairs and find out what all that screaming is about, will you?
24:33So you're not fond of shooting parties, Lady Madison Scrivener?
24:36The company may be congenial, but the actual shoot...
24:40I would rather follow more gentle pursuits.
24:44Even if it is a little late for croaky.
24:47And perhaps rather too windy for this time of year.
24:52That's my little gallery of visitors.
24:55Trophies, you might call them.
24:58Harold Bond, the poet.
24:59Do you know him?
25:01Rarely takes a bath.
25:04And that's Lord Hartington.
25:06Mind you, he didn't come for the shooting.
25:07He did a lot of mooning about down by the lake.
25:10I think he was in love.
25:11And that's Captain Mason.
25:14And of course you know him.
25:16A little.
25:20Marjorie?
25:21Bit of an upset.
25:22One of the children playing tricks on Master St. John.
25:24Nanny Wickham says to tell you she's sorting it out.
25:26Thank you, Marjorie.
25:40Where's Lydia?
25:41I told you she'll be coming along with her family, won't she?
25:44Can't you sit with us?
25:46She'll have to sit with the people from the hall.
25:56There's a surprise.
26:11I told you.
26:14What did you do?
26:19It's fine.
26:20I told you she'll have to sit with me.
26:25I'll have to sit.
26:26Oh, Susanne, for bacon, my Lydia's dress.
26:29Now, your roots are all muddy.
26:31Oh, Skirkenstein, a bit of dirt, Mum.
26:36Here we are, Dad.
26:37We brought you some tobacco from London.
26:40And a cake for them.
26:41Big to the big house, they cook.
26:44And a sweet for the little ones.
26:47Yeah!
26:48They must have big cake tins up at the house.
26:51It's all right, Mother Willie.
26:52Lydia's today and have yours in the week.
26:54Oh, no, Mum.
26:56Well, you only meant this as a present.
26:58I'd much rather have some of your food cake.
27:03I used to drink a lot of food in that cake when I was in London.
27:06Don't be daft.
27:08This be a proper cake.
27:10Look, it's even got cherries.
27:13We can all have a great big slice, can't we, children?
27:16Cake from the big house.
27:20There you are.
27:23Annabelle was looking for you.
27:24Why, shouldn't you be out there keeping her amused?
27:27I'm afraid my ideas of amusement don't always correspond with your sisters, George.
27:32Was there something you wanted?
27:35St. John just told me that he and his wife were married nine years ago today.
27:39Should we acknowledge this at dinner, do you think?
27:41Toast, perhaps?
27:42No, perhaps not.
27:44Since he only told me privately.
27:45You're asking me if their marriage is cause for celebration?
27:51I'm sorry to interrupt your literary pursuits.
27:54I would hardly call ten minutes in the library on my own the pursuit of literature.
27:58And I think you answered your own question, George.
28:01No announcement.
28:02Yes, that's what Hugh thought.
28:04I'm not entirely sure that Hugh is the first person I would consult for etiquette.
28:09Come in.
28:10I'm afraid it's boring for you, Constance.
28:13Shoot, all this masculine company.
28:14Some very dull women.
28:16Are very lively.
28:17Making you bad-tempered.
28:20Mr. Broomfield says to tell you that a gentleman's arrived your ladyship.
28:23Thank you, Marjorie.
28:24Excuse me, George.
28:27Hi, dear.
28:30Well, what an odd question, aren't you?
28:32Her husband can't ask his wife what jewels she plans to wear for dinner.
28:35Well, I have no choice.
28:36I wore the garnets last night.
28:38I'm saving the rupees for the fancy dress.
28:40It'll have to be the pearls.
28:42Unlike Lady Lamson, Scrivener and the Duchess,
28:44I do not have an unending supply of heirlooms to choose from.
28:47Why on earth do you ask?
28:48No reason.
28:49Well, why ask the question, then?
28:53Mrs. St. John?
28:57So I told him.
28:59You can't let land life follow for four years
29:01and expect to do nothing to the topsoar before you plan on it.
29:04Literally don't want to hear all that, Joel.
29:06No, Mum, but I do.
29:08You don't know what it's like being that posh house, no-one to talk to?
29:12House full of servants and she says she's got no-one to talk to?
29:15Who does he have here and my girl except Janie and the dairy
29:18and those awful Bates girls?
29:24Where's Becky gone?
29:25Washing the dishes.
29:26Oh, go and help her the...
29:27You do no such thing.
29:29You and visitor.
29:39Dad, you were saying about the lower field.
29:41Don't matter.
29:42I hear you've been making apple chutney.
29:44Oh, good crop this year.
29:46How many jars?
29:4730.
29:4730?
29:48I'll go and get you, but we'll take back.
29:50Best let me choose, Joel.
29:52Oh, I know which is best.
30:11Mind if I smoke?
30:34Lydia!
30:37Oh, I know.
30:40Oh.
30:41Oh.
30:41Oh.
30:42Fowler, are you going back to the house? Hop in.
30:46That's very kind of you, Mr Fowler.
31:04Walk on.
31:08I've just been to the station to collect a vase for his lordship.
31:12Sent all the way from London on the train.
31:16See that package? It's worth hundreds.
31:20Go over a rut in the road and we'll both be out of the chore.
31:29Pleased to see you, were they, the family?
31:31Yes.
31:36It's difficult when you've moved away.
31:39Changed in all sorts of ways and they've just stayed the same.
31:44It's difficult for everyone.
31:48When I first moved away, I used to write a long letter home to my mother every month.
31:53Just the chat it was, really, about everything and nothing.
31:57It meant things weren't so formal when I went home to visit.
32:01Not so much ground to cover.
32:04Well, um, that's all right for them that can write.
32:08Or read, come to that.
32:12I could help you with a letter.
32:15And I expect there's someone in the village who could read it to your parents.
32:18You could help me.
32:21With writing.
32:25Trot on.
32:41I'm sorry you missed the charades, Captain Mason.
32:44At one point we were acting a small scene involving a sea captain.
32:48Hardly the same thing as a guards officer art.
32:51Absolutely not, Lady Wilson.
32:53Sea captains are famously hairy, usually old.
32:56Tellers of salty tails with language to match.
32:59Well, I would certainly have disappointed in the matter of the beard.
33:02But the salty tails...
33:04There are stories circulating in the mess that are certainly full of flavouring.
33:08In which case I'd be extremely grateful if you keep them to yourself, Captain Mason.
33:12Lady Lampson Scrivener, I am a model of discretion.
33:15I often wonder if the stories...
33:17But where would we be without discretion, Captain Mason?
33:19The stories that appear in the mess rooms of ships and army barracks
33:22are the very same ones we used to tell each other in school,
33:25only given a more robust flavouring for older pallets.
33:37I thought you were coming.
33:40I got held up in London.
33:42Victoria, my sweet, this really isn't a good idea.
33:44Harry, I know what you said in London.
33:46I understand that it's dangerous, but we can do this.
33:49We can find a way around it.
33:50It's more complicated than that.
33:51I'm telling you, my darling, it isn't complicated at all.
33:54We have to do this all the time.
33:55Do you think no-one noticed at dinner?
33:58The way you talked to me, the way you were looking?
34:00I don't care anyone.
34:01No, Victoria, I don't think you understand.
34:04This has gone too far.
34:05We must stop.
34:46Victoria.
34:50I know this weekend hasn't been exactly your idea of a pleasant interlude.
34:56and I know things have been difficult lately.
35:00But I just wanted to say...
35:03I just wanted to say...
35:07Good heavens.
35:08Are you all right?
35:09I have a headache, Arnold.
35:12I have a headache, Arnold.
35:12It's very late.
35:13I know.
35:15I know.
35:15I'm straight to the point.
35:17I just wanted to say that after nine years of marriage...
35:22Nine years, Victoria.
35:24You are still the only woman I could ever want.
35:28And I hope you can accept this little token of my love.
35:40I'll open it.
35:51Aspreys.
35:53Ninety-three diamonds.
35:55Because we were married in ninety-three and I thought diamonds were best.
36:00Here, let me help.
36:16It's beautiful.
36:19Nice against your skin.
36:25Tom?
36:26Tom, what's all this?
36:30I'm scared, Nanny.
36:31I don't want to go shooting.
36:34Please don't make me go.
36:36I'm sorry, Tom.
36:38There's nothing to be done.
36:39Your father insists.
36:42Hey, you never know.
36:43You may surprise yourself.
36:46My old dad always says the courage comes when you least expect it.
36:52Come on.
37:05Don't have to watch my step.
37:06It will be frightfully humiliating if my cousin bags more than me.
37:09Not impossible, Hugh.
37:11Mark my words, sir.
37:12And now there's even more competition.
37:15I'm told Captain Mason is more than a competent shot with a rifle.
37:18And judging from a few burning glances being fired across the dinner table last night,
37:23he's pretty competent at more than just shooting.
37:26Ha, ha.
37:28Ah, Tom.
37:29There you are.
37:30I understand what's required of you, boy dear.
37:32Speak up, Tom.
37:34Can't call your tongue, has it?
37:35You.
37:36Oh.
37:37Right.
37:37Physicians, I think.
37:38Never mind.
37:39There's a good aim that's required in this game.
37:41You don't have to say a word.
37:44Well, get in line, boy.
37:46It's all off to come to me.
37:48Get in line.
37:48I will not be made a fool of you.
37:50Hear me?
37:54Stand by me, Tom.
37:57Good man.
37:59So, sir.
38:00Right, boy.
38:01Here we go.
38:03Look along the barrel.
38:04Never far until the bird is four square in view.
38:07And be careful of this arm.
38:09I've seen a boy break his shoulder from the recoil gun in the wrong position, you see.
38:13Look at the way he's standing, father.
38:15How is he going to be able to swing around when the bird's going in?
38:19Well observed, Louis.
38:20Right, boy.
38:21Knees bent a little.
38:23Feet slightly apart and firm.
38:25Don't move that arm.
38:27You'll get knocked over backwards.
38:29Now, remember everything I've said.
38:31Look along the barrel.
38:32Don't put the left hand too far down.
38:34Take it.
38:36I've given your loader some stronger cartridges.
38:39Make the thing go with a real bang.
38:40All right?
38:44Father!
38:44You will shoot or you'll get a thrashing.
38:47You hear me?
38:48Cowardy, cowardy, caster.
38:52Father!
38:53Fire!
38:54Fire!
38:56Fire!
38:56Fire!
39:07Father!
39:10Tom, shut up and shoot!
39:12Cowardy, cowardy, caster!
39:15Cast you idiot, it is gunpoint!
39:18Just shoot!
39:25Man, no!
39:35Oh, no.
39:37Oh, don't move it.
39:38It's just.
39:39I would not.
39:46What have you done?
40:01Mrs. St. John.
40:02Yes?
40:03I'm afraid there's been an accident, a shooting accident.
40:06No.
40:06Your husband has been wounded.
40:08My husband?
40:09I've summoned the doctor and the men are carrying him in now.
40:12Oh, no.
40:12I'm terribly sorry. This is a dreadful business.
40:15I should go to him.
40:15Mrs. St. John, I think you should know the circumstances.
40:20I'm afraid it was your son who shot your husband.
40:30Mrs. St. John.
40:34I'm telling you.
40:36Mrs. St. John.
40:43Victoria.
40:48Ah, there's the doctor.
