must show Melinda some countryside.

Kipper?

Yes, please.

It is really very beautiful.

And very wild in places.

There are some interesting spots.

Oh, I want to see all of it.

There's no sightseeing this morning.

Knapsacks are all packed and

ready for the great rabbit hunt.

The party will move off under

sealed orders immediately.

A rabbit hunt?

He promised.

Where is it going to be, uncle Michael?

You'll see.

Well, if you must have a rabbit hunt ..

I think you might have a secret staff

meeting with Melinda before you start.

About the Curragh campaign.

The plans are all made.

Get your knapsacks, children.

I left them in the hall.

Aren't you coming, aunt Jessica?

Nothing would induce

me to leave the house.

It might rain again.

I don't want to get my wig wet.

I'm completely bald, you know.

Typhoid in Malaya.

I didn't know.

I didn't expect you to.

It's a very good wig.

Finish your breakfast, Melinda.

Mustn't keep the children waiting.

I wonder how many rabbits we'll catch.

Not too many, I hope.

Eventually, we'll have thousands.

Watch your footing there .. Cooper.

I'm glad it isn't the kind of

hunt where we use guns.

We're not going to shoot

them, just catch them.

But they run so fast.

I've arranged for that. You'll see.

We're going to pick up our rabbits

and take them home with us.

Alright, men. Stand at ease.

Now, see I'll go first.

It's over there.

I get my rabbit and signal to

you, Melinda. Alright.

Cross the wall here.

Then you take Cooper.

Cooper goes over there.

John, you go over there.

Then we meet back here

for more instructions.

Everyone understand?

Yes.

Alright then, over the top.

Now we have to wait for his signal.

Oh, poor Michael. He didn't get one.

Come on Nicko, let's you and I try.

I'm going to build a

house for my rabbit.

Michael.

His little legs are broken.

There. Come here, Nicko.

It's alright, honey. Don't cry.

What is it, Melinda?

Michael, it's terribly hurt.

It's a steel trap.

It was only a rabbit, Linda.

Linda.

Linda, aren't you going to speak to me?

No.

I didn't mean to frighten you.

Why should I frighten you when I've ..

When I love you so?

I'm frantic and desperately

in love with you.

Don't you love me at all, Linda?

I've been trying to decide

if I really love you.

Or if I'm just obsessed by you.

I don't now, Michael.

I don't know.

Oh don't, Linda.

Don't cry, whatever you do.

You were never born to cry.

I wouldn't hurt you.

Nothing will ever hurt you.

Oh, Michael.

Sometimes you're so kind.

Sometimes ..

Sometimes I'm clumsy.

But I'm no worse than that, Linda.

No worse.

Aren't you?

Of course I'm not.

And when we're married ..
