and reinforcements won't get here.
My dear lady, you don't understand.
No. It's a good way of looking at things.
It just takes a little getting used to.
- Thank you, Scott.
- Sir.
(Cannons pound)
- It's no use your waiting, Mr Peters.
- When can I see him?
The Governor is very busy.
when I get to Delhi!
If you get to Delhi!
See, sahib? Very plenty of the steam.
But is it coming
from the right places, Gupta?
What right places?
Victoria is old, I confess that.
But she has experience and when she
has experience, nothing can go wrong.
(Whistle shrieks)
(Clank, whistle stops)
It is not the fault of Victoria.
I asked them last week,
and last month I asked them 17 times,
to give me one day for repair.
But no. They said Victoria is old
and no good except for shunting.
Nobody understands.
Kalapur's over 300 miles away.
What is 300 miles to this engine, sahib?
You know what she did
in the Karachi run?
- Two times in one week!
- Yes, but how many years ago?
Look at the boiler. Not even one leak.
Not an inch of steam is escaping from it.
If the boiler's good,
Look for yourself if not believing Gupta.
That is only the piston bearing
which is not good.
That is why one half
of the steam is escaping.
That's all that's wrong?
Gupta has been for 30 years
in the railway service.
- No, Gupta. I think you do know.
- We shall need a coach.
- There is no one but that one.
- But that's broken down.
- Broken.
What about those wheels? Will they fit?
Yes. They are very fitting wheels.
Gupta, how many miles per hour could
Victoria go pulling just one coach?
- At least 50 miles, sahib.
- 50?
Well, if not 50, then at least 40 miles.
And when it is mended, sahib,
you don't know what speed it will go.
She'll be mended.
The only problem is coal.
- We'll never get enough in there.
- We need five to six times more.
But where can we put it?
Have you a truck?
- Yes, sahib. In the shed.
- Good.
I'll get the sappers.
Tell them what you want.
You will be never sorry
for the judgment you are making.
I hope you're right, Gupta.
I hope you're right.
- (Whistle shrieks)
- And get that fixed!
Yes, sahib. At once.
She is like the lady!
She shouts too much when she is happy!
- You must know one way or the other.
- The rumours must have foundation.
In my experience,
rumour is seldom backed by truth.
- Is the Prince here?
- Yes. That's why they're attacking.
- When the time comes you'll be told.
- Why don't you trust us?
We know they killed the boy's father.
I assure you, I know nothing.
I'm not in a position of authority.
