she may be better.
Give her responsibility, Sister.
Do you think it's a good thing
to let her feel important?
Spare her some of your own
importance... if you can.
Mother, are you sorry that I have been
appointed to take charge of St. Faith?
Yes. I don't think
you're ready for it,
and I think you'll be lonely.
Never forget,
we're an order of workers.
Work them hard.
And remember...
the superior of all
is the servant of all.
I understand.
It was a good, good idea.
they keep good time.
Go!
Dear! The whole garden's
so terribly overgrown,
I don't know where to begin!
Please come and help the fat
lady who has questions.
Sister Briony?
Ayah, you must learn our proper names.
Anyway, there aren't
any patients yet.
Oh, aren't there?
There are dozens waiting.
Now tell them to go away and come
and help me with the ones that are left.
Oh, Sister Blanche, these girls
are to work in your lay school.
They were sent by the general.
Oh, don't they look nice.
But, Sister, you
ought to see the children.
The schoolroom's
full of them already.
The little ones are so sweet.
Some of them can scarcely
do more than toddle.
Joseph Anthony has come.
Ayah, you must knock
before you come in.
- Who is Joseph Anthony?
- Who is Joseph Anthony?
He's the son of the general's cook.
He's going to interpret for you.
He speaks English.
Come in.
- Has the general sent you?
- Yes, lady.
She isn't a lady.
She's a sister.
Say, "Yes, Lemani. "
Yes, Lemani. I have my books
and my bedding outside.
- I shall live here with you.
- Oh!
Would you like to see
my books and my bedding, lady?
Sister? Lemani?
- How old are you?
- Six to eleven.
What did you say?
I can remember that I'm six,
but my father married
so that I may probably
be about ten.
Sister, the schoolroom
is overflowing with children.
No one understands the language. There
are too many of them, and they smell.
- I don't know what to do.
- Why don't you tell them to come back later?
- They won't go away.
- Oh, why not?
- They were paid to come, so they can't go away.
Paid?
Sister, the general's clerk has orders to
pay everybody who comes to my dispensary.
- So they all want to come.
- Excuse me, Sister, may I suggest?
- Yes, Sister?
- Wouldn't it be a pity to send the children away?
- They were paid to come.
- But if they like it, they may come again.
What can you do with them?
They look very stupid to me.
Remember, they can't speak
a word of Hindustani or English.
