I wish to speak to her.
Therefore, X is equal to 5...
- or minus- - Reverend Mother wishes
to speak to you, Sister Clodagh.
Joya.
Continue the lesson.
Sister Clodagh,
we may proceed
with our plans at Mopu.
- It will be called Saint Faith.
- Saint Faith.
And you have been appointed
to take charge of St. Faith.
- I, Reverend Mother?
- You.
You will be the youngest
sister superior in our order.
Thank you, Reverend Mother.
The agent at Mopu
is an Englishman.
You won't get
much help from him.
Dear Madam, My name is Dean.
I am the agent
of General Toda Rai at Mopu...
and I am writing to you
in that capacity.
I understand the general has offered you
the old palace at Mopu...
to make a school and
a dispensary for the natives.
It's not the first time
he's had such ideas.
He's asked me to tell you
about the place and the people.
It's not a comfortable spot,
and it's at the back of beyond.
First you have to get
to Darjeeling,
then I have to find you ponies
and porters to take you into the hills.
Mopu is 8,000 feet up.
The peaks on the range opposite
are nearly as high as Everest.
The people call the highest peak
Nanga Dalle.
It means "the bare goddess. "
I live down in the valley,
out of the wind.
So does the general,
and so do the people.
Mopu Palace stands in the wind
on a shelf on the mountain.
It was built by the general's
father, to keep his women there.
It's called a palace, but there
may be a slight difference...
between your idea of a palace
and the general's.
Anyhow, there it is.
The people are like mountain peasants
everywhere- simple, independent.
They work because they must,
they smile when they feel like it...
and they're no respecters
of persons.
The men are men- no better,
The women are women.
The children, children.
palace, we have our holy man...
who sits there day in
and day out in all weathers.
All the people around
are very proud of him...
and bring him food
and little offerings.
The wind up at the palace
blows seven days a week,
so if you must come,
bring some warm things with you.
a long time, except Angu Ayah...
who's always been there
and stays on as caretaker.
As a caretaker,
she's a bit of a failure,
but she's a faithful, dirty old
bird and goes with the place.
with the ghosts of bygone days.
Ayah! Ayah! Ayah! Ayah!
Ayah! Ayah! Ayah!
Ayah! Ayah! Ayah!
Ayah! Ayah!
Ayah!
Ayah! Ayah!
- That's Mr. Dean.
- Never mind Mr. Dean. He'll find us.
Now listen, Ayah.
I have invited some ladies...
to stay here
at the house of women.
Ladies! Oh, that will be
like old times!
It will not be in the least
like old times.
They are not
that kind of lady at all.
- Then they won't be any fun.
- They are not coming for fun.
These are nuns.
Do you know what a nun is?
They kneel and pray all day like
the monks you invited last year.
I'm going to give them this house to make
a school and a hospital for the people.
You know nobody here
wants a school...
and I'm sure they
don't want a hospital!
How do they know what they want
until they try?
The people have
all kinds of diseases.
- They have ringworm.
- They don't mind having ringworm.
Then they ought to mind.
And it will all be free.
It was free last time,
and nobody came.
They will this time.
Mr. Dean!
You will receive them for me,
and you will do everything for them
that they want doing.
You too. You will
