The Belles of St. Trinian's Page #2

I'm sorry, Millie. A tenner's the top.

Clarence, I said 20 in cash.

Not a penny less.

I only wish I could spare it, Millie.

Of course, if you don't...

Oh, I suppose

I'm just a foolish weak woman.

And you're an unscrupulous rogue,

Clarence.

Come in.

Oh... I'm sorry, Miss Fritton.

I didn't know you were engaged.

It's all right, it's all right.

We're just going.

I've brought the new girls.

How do you do?

Is this the little princess?

Yes, this is her little highness.

Bless her!

How are you, my dear?

I know your father very well.

He and I are both great animal lovers.

Miss Buckland, bring the children

over here, will you, please?

This is my daughter, Arabella.

She's going to be

a good friend to you, aren't you?

- You bet!

- Come along, girls.

Goodbye, Millicent.

I'll tell Mummy you're doing splendidly.

How do you do, my clears?

This is Daphne Potter and Celeste West.

Hello , Daphne, Celeste.

And this is the Princess Fatima.

Ah, yes! And welcome to St Trinian's.

You'll find us all

one big happy family here.

Perhaps just a teeny-weeny bit

unorthodox,

but, there, that's better

than being old-fashioned, isn't it?

You see, in other schools,

girls are sent out quite unprepared

into a merciless world.

But when our girls leave here,

it is the merciless world

which has to be prepared.

That is why we set great store here

on physical fitness.

Lots of games, lots of exercise,

a certain amount of food

and, above all, lots and lots of fresh air!

Particularly fresh air!

Thank you.

We're gonna be late

if we don't hurry, gov.

Two o'clock's the first race.

It's gone one now.

It's only half an hour to the course.

Hold that a minute.

Carry on, Sam, and don't dawdle.

OK, gov.

You'll show the girls round the school,

won't you, Miss Buckland?

- I will, Miss Fritton.

- Right. Off you go.

Good bye!

Ah, Miss Holland, come right in.

- Oh, the post.

- It is.

Quite a collection.

There isn't any food in the school.

Unless the tradespeople are paid,

there won't be.

- There may be some cheques there.

- Cheques are no good.

- Some of them might be!

- We need cash!

Want me to draw it on the blackboard?

Unless we get food today,

you might as well close the dump.

Please do not refer

to my school as a "dump".

Your school?

You mean the bank's school,

the pawnbroker's school.

And I suppose that's where the school's

challenge cups have gone again.

- I needed a holiday.

- You'll have a long one soon.

How do you think you can carry on

with an overdraft and bouncing cheques?

Some of them have not bounced,

Miss Holland.

They're merely post-dated.

What is the use of cheques

dated 1956, 7, 8 and 9?
