For beauty and love.

Please don't make

a hasty decision

Paul I know that his way

of teaching is eccentric...

he's rude, he's arrogant,

and he's an alcoholic.

He's not fit to be a teacher.

But, you didn't see

what he did today...

Michelle actually ate today with...

- what do you want cathy?

Get insulted in my own house?

No.- then he's got to go.

I hope you understand.

The woods are lovely...

dark and deep

but I have promises to keep...

- Mr. Sahai...

and miles to go before I can

find the damn envelope. Ah, yes!

I need to talk to you, Mr. Sahai.

Are you busy?

No. Not at all. I was just writing

to my friend, about Michelle.

She has learnt her first lesson

today... etiquette, behavior.

That you do not possess.

Anyway I'll skip the pleasantries.

I want you to leave this house.

I will not leave without

completing my job.

I've only just started.

Still a long way to go. You know.

I don't like the waYou teach.

And I don't like your interference.

This is your train ticket... cheque.

And your termination letter.

We don't need you anymore.

Youre taking the first train tomorrow.

And Michelle takes the next

to the mental asylum?

Now she's deaf blind and also

mentally retarded.

My daughter... is my responsibility.

And mine too, Mr. McNally.

You do understand that this will...

destroy her completely.

Train will leave exactly at seven.

And please... put this back

where it belongs.

Goodnight.

Goodnight!

Mr. Sahai must have left by now.

We'll talk about Michelle

after I return.

What is happening in this house?

Mrs. Gomes!

What is going on here?

This is ridiculous.

Mrs. Gomes, I don't understand what

is going on in this house today.

Good morning, mrs. McNally.

And how are you today?

Mr sahai...?

We thought you would have left.

Just shifting rooms mrs. McNally.

I never leave my work incomplete.

What do you want?

Same thing you want... that

Michelle becomes independent.

And for that, I need time.

You know that Paul...

has gone out for twenty days. And those

twenty days belong to Michelle and me.

Now, don't say No, mrs. McNally.

No!! It's not possible. You won't

take advantage of paul's absence.

Oh my God!! Oh my God!!

I don't believe this!

This is ridiculous.

I don't believe this!

What have you done?

This is paul's study...

Now this will be Michelles study.

Mrs. Gomes!!! Put that back!

- No, ma'am, he's right!

Oh ho! So the servants also

listen to you now!

Who are you to take over my house?

Michelle's teacher.

Were... were Mr. Sahai,

not anymore.

I am your last hope.

If I leave today

then after a few days...

Michelle will reach the asylum.

Mr sahai... Mr. sahai!

Yes?

As long as I live, my daughter
