Poor them, my Aunt Fanny.

They're the worstest, nastiest, horriblest...

It'll be snow in August

before this family's straightened out.

"Dear Nanny Whetstone,

I'm so very sorry."

- "My children..."

- [children shout and fight]

[girl] Eric, give it back to her!

Give it back now! Stop it!

My children.

Eric! Eric, that's my teddy!

- Eric, stop doing this!

- Give it back!

- Stop fighting!

- Oi, you lot!

- Quiet!

- [Sebastian hits notes on piano]

You're driving your poor father

to distraction. Stop it.

Lily, what's this word?

Lovingly. "He took her lovingly by the hand."

What's your book about, Evangeline?

It's about the daughter of a nice man

who remarries after his wife dies

and the stepmother's horrid to her.

Why doesn't the man stop her being horrid?

Fathers all turn bad once their wives die.

They don't care any more.

Simon. Yours does.

No, he doesn't.

Does he read to Chrissie

or play cricket with us like he used to?

He doesn't even sing Loola-bye to Aggy.

We hardly see him.

He loves you, Simon. You know that.

He's just had a lot on his mind since...

Since Mother died.

You used to be as close as anything.

Not any more. All he cares about now

is getting himself a nice new wife.

Well... I don't know if that's true or not,

but it might be nice to have a new mother.

Don't you know anything about the world?

Whoever he marries will be vile

and treat us like slaves.

- You don't know that.

- Plenty of hard evidence for it.

There isn't one stepmother in there

who's even halfway decent.

They're an evil breed. Anyway,

who ever likes other people's children?

I like you.

Yes, but you're a servant.

You're paid to like us.
