Let's get to the fire, Peter, come on.
My darlings, those men last night
did bring very bad news
and Father will be away
for some time
Is it something to do
with the Government, Mummy?
Yes... yes, it is.
Now it's bed time, my darlings.
And don't worry.
It will all come right in the end.
Don't you worry either
because we'll be as good as gold.
Oh, we used to say life was so dull...
Nothing ever happened like in books.
Now something has happened.
Yes, it has
and it's made Mother unhappy.
Everything's horrid...
...just horrid.
Stairs... stairs... stairs...
Everything continued to be
perfectly horrid for some weeks.
the between maid was sent away...
... and Aunt Emma
came on a visit.
- Good afternoon, children.
- Good afternoon, Aunt Emma.
Your mother has sent for me
in her distress,
and I'm here for a while
but not for long.
I'm off to India as a governess
and as I shall be busy preparing
for my arduous journey,
I shall require you to be seen
and not heard.
Preferably to be not seen
and not heard.
Children should be kept
- Do you understand?
- Yes, Aunt Emma.
- Yes, Aunt Emma.
- Excellent.
You may kiss me
if you wish.
# You can hear them sigh
and wish to die
# You can see them wink
the other eye
# At the man who broke
the Bank at Monte Carlo
Altogether now
# As I walked along the Bois Boulogne
with an inde... #
I have asked you not to use them utensils
in that manner.
I was up at four this morning
cleaning them
as if I haven't got enough to do
what with the between maid leaving
and now your aunt asking me
to heave bloomin' great boxes about
like I was a navvy or something.
- Ruth.
- Yes?
There's no need to be so rude.
