The Three Lives of Thomasina Page #2

Poor Rabbie.

You're doing the right thing.

It's for his sake.

Oh, no,

there'll be no charge.

Just leave him here

with me.

You're leaving Rabbie

to be cured, then, Annie?

Mr. Macdhui says

there's no cure.

He's to be put away.

now, Mrs. Laggan,

that's a shame.

No cure for him?

If it was my dog, I'd want a

second opinion, I'm thinkin'.

I'll go with you, Annie.

Good day to you,

Mr. Macdhui.

Good day, sir.

Good day.

Who's next, please?

Please, sir, Mr. Macdhui?

Uh-oh. Who are you?

Geordie Macnab,

please, sir.

I'm a bit of a friend

of Mary's.

I found him

down by the loch.

He's hurt his leg.

Can you make him better,

please, sir?

No one can cure

a hurt frog, Geordie.

You put him back

where you found him.

But he might die.

Could you not mend

his leg, please, sir?

No, nature's the only doctor

can do that, laddie.

Come on, now.

Come on, off you go.

I'm busy.

You've lost another

customer, Andrew.

Is there really nothing

you can do

About old Mrs. Laggan's dog?

No, not a thing, just put it

out of its misery.

Well, whoever's next,

Will you come in, please?

Oh, it's all right,

Mrs. Campbell.

You go in ahead of me.

I'm in no hurry.

hey, there's Geordie.

What have you been

doing in there?

I took my sick frog

to Mr. Macdhui.

Oh, aye.

What did he say, then?

He wouldn't even

look at him,

And he's going to kill

Mrs. Laggan's Rabbie.

Kill him? Rabbie?

Aye, I heard him say so.

It's just like grandfather

says about him -

He's only good

with farm beasts.

He's not interested

in people's pets.

A frog Will die

if he can't hop or swim.

I'm not going to

let him die.

What are you

gonna do, then,

Cure him by magic

or something?

Come on, Jamie.

Why don't you take your frog

To the witch woman

livin' in the Glen?

She's supposed to do magic.

Well, why don't you?

Our mother says

the witch woman's crazy

And we're not

to go up there.

Och, you're just afraid,

the pair of you.

I'm not afraid of anything,

and neither is Geordie.

Are you, Geordie?

Right. Let's take the frog

to her, all three of us.

I dare you.

Very well.

Geordie, we'll all go.

You want to get your frog

cured, don't you?

We don't have to

tell mother we went.

I was only joking.

No, you weren't.

You dared us.

I think

you're afraid to go.

Me, afraid?

Let's go now.

Come on.

Keep up with us.

You'd think they were

all telling on us.

Aye. Are you afraid

to go on, then?

No.

Well, come on.

Whisht! Listen.

It's the witch singing

and banging a drum.

She is crazy.

I want to go home.

When you've got this far?

What about your frog?

Put your box under the tree

and ring the bell.

Aye, go on, Geordie.

We'll wait for you here.
