Mrs. Griggs, is your room...

and the lavatory.

I trust

you'll be comfortable.

Thank you.

- I'll have your things brought up.

- Good, good.

James!

Insisting

on carrying his own.

Stubborn as

the Germans, that boy.

Ha, ha, ha.

Silly... go!

"After that boat,

this is heaven, I assure you. "

...plant's ripe

for being torn down

to make room

for docks, barracks.

With a view

of the sea, darling.

View of the sea?

- Yes.

Does it always

smell like this?

A storm brought in more

kelp than usual this year.

...How fascinating.

Not one nail.

I trust your base will leave

space for local boats, Father.

Let's move along, shall we?

Good Lord!

That child

has my emeralds!

Steven!

- Steven come here.

Silly!

Silly come here!

Silly!

She's got nerve.

- She's a criminal.

Silly!

Silly?

Silly.

I'm told you've been...

You've been bothering

the admiral and his family.

Filthy liars!

Stone is trying to make

something off this place.

It's a chance

for all of us.

Even you!

We won't be needing a base

when the fish come back!

Silly,

it's just a story.

You're 16 years old,

for God's sake.

A grown woman!

Haven't you caused yourself

enough heartache?

Haven't you?

Ever since

the plant shut down,

you sit in that chair all day

praying the dead will come back.

She's gone!

She's dead and gone.

And now

you can't even fish.

There ain't no one

on this island

who's gonna put up

with you anymore.

No one.

Ahem.

You've been spying on me?

I got better to do

than spy on anyone.

- Let alone you.

- Not what I heard.

And it's true what they say!

Every friggin' word...

Watch out,

I'll get you!

Doctor's house ain't

fine enough for you?

Biggest one

on the island.

The sound of the water

helps me sleep.

We...

A storm's coming up.

Your tent won't

last one blow.

I'll take my chances,

thanks.

Here!

One more!

Come on!

I feel like one

of Melville's heroes...

Ahab or Ishmael in the belly

of the whale and all that.

They're city friends

of yours?

No...

It's Moby Dick.

It's a story about

a great white whale,

and a man obsessed

with conquering it...

and the sea.

The most valiant

battle there is.

They win the battle,

your heroes?

Mm... yes.

In a sense, yes.

So...

How did you know

the storm was coming?

The way you know

about ideas and books.

I know about the sea.

Nlmmm.

Rhubarb wine?

Thank you.

You don't get boiled beef

and potatoes on the mainland?

Might be needing salt.

Thank you.

James!

You know

that's bad for you.

Silly, serve the food.

Well,

all goes as planed.

Construction can

begin right away.

I can't see how you'll be able

to build on that wharf.

I have it

on good authority
