Although I think Michael is attractive,

you must admit he's odd.

He's not odd at all.

Really Joyce, even if

you don't like a person ..

You don't have to say things

about him that aren't true.

I'm being fair.

I'm just saying I think he's awful.

I'm just saying I

couldn't care if he died.

There is a telephone call

for you from Wales, Miss.

They've been trying to get

you all the afternoon.

Thank you, Lucy.

What I'm trying to tell you is ..

Long distance?

Oh ..

Oh, I look awful. Just awful.

Hello?

Yes .. yes.

Yes!

It's Michael.

Now you can tell him the things

you've been telling me for two days.

Oh, I will. I'll handle him.

Hello?

Yes.

Who?

Oh, Michael?

Oh, you are?

You did?

It's his aunt. He's just told her he's

met the loveliest young woman.

He means me.

Oh, I'm sorry, Michael.

What were you saying?

He's asked me to come for the weekend.

Oh, I can't.

The laundry doesn't come back until

Monday and I have no clothes.

He's swearing.

Alright, I'll come.

Yes, Michael.

I understand.

You'll meet me at Llandryd

station tomorrow morning.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Michael.

Oh.

Oh.

What's the matter with you?

Hello.

This is Melinda, aunt Jessica.

You didn't tell me she

was so beautiful, Michael.

I'm so glad you came.

I'm glad you asked me.

These are my grandchildren.

Hello.

Now children, stop staring and

say how do you do to Melinda.

I refuse to let them call you

Miss Greyton. Good.

This is John.

How are you, John.

Cooper.

Hello, Cooper.

And the little one is Nicko.

How are you, Nicko?

I'm hungry.

Breakfast is just ready.

Run along and chance, Melinda.

I'll show you.

Come along, children.

There you are, dear.

Help yourself to what you like, child.

Thank you, I will.

Oh, I'm starving.

Ann, call Mr Michael again, will you.

Very well, ma'am. I will indeed.

Come along, Nicko.

If you divide it the way I do,

it won't be so hard to eat.

How can I when it

keeps running together.

That's because you take all the cream.

Very wholesome, my porridge.

I see you paint your fingernails.

Tell me, I've always wondered.

Do young women who paint their

fingernails also paint their toes?

Well I do, although I don't

know why. No-one sees them.

I should like to.

Well, it's consistent.

If there is one thing I like in

a woman .. it's consistency.

Of course you're every

young. How old are you?

Eighteen.

Nicko, you're to finish your porridge.

I don't like it.

Nobody likes it. They just eat it.

Well, I've finished mine.

Now I think I'll have the kipper.

Porridge and kipper?

A nice, healthy appetite.

I'm going to like you very much.

I'm sorry to be so late.

Alright, dear.

Michael, when you finish breakfast, you
