you both are her children.

My sister, your mother,

died six years ago.

[Mrs. Grindley] now,

if you have any doubts,

I'd be happy to show you

these documents that prove

he is your uncle Lucas.

I won't have to leave Winky,

Will I?

He's very smart and

he knows how to deal with dogs.

Did I mention dogs?

Well, thank you very much,

Mrs. Grindley.

I'll see you out,

Mr. Deranian.

Children,

Don't forget your coats.

Do you have any feelings

about this Mr. Deranian?

Only that he

isn't our uncle.

Must we leave, Tony?

That's what

these papers mean.

We Haven't got a choice.

It's all right, Lorko, I'm just

bringing through the children.

[Winky meows]

[sneezes]

[sneezes]

I'm sorry, but I'm

allergic to cats.

Let us through.

[dogs barking]

[Tia] those are

the dogs we heard.

There's the mansion.

Just the way you Drew it, Tony.

Uncle Lucas,

what's "XZanthus?"

It's "Zanthus," Tony.

Mr. Bolt calls his house

"Zanthus."

Who's Mr. Bolt?

Mr. Bolt

is my employer.

And your host.

I have spacious apartments here.

And thanks to

Mr. Bolt's generosity,

They've been enlarged

and redecorated to

accommodate the two of you.

So, this is your

long lost family?

You have a very

beautiful niece, Deranian.

And a most attractive nephew.

You're Tony and you are Tia.

Here.

Our favorite flavors,

vanilla and strawberry.

- Thank you!

- You're welcome.

After that long drive,

I'm sure you youngsters'd

like to see your quarters.

Come with me.

[Tony] wow! It's beautiful.

- Isn't it cute?

- I must be dreaming.

Tony, look at that!

Hey, look!

Oh, wow!

Look at these dolls

and stuffed animals.

Whoa!

Hey, Tony!

- When all this is completed...

- [Tony] there's more?

Oh, yes!

We Haven't had time yet

to install the carousel

or the gymnasium.

[Mr. Deranian] the tennis

court's being resurfaced.

You can start your

riding lessons

first thing in the morning.

Oh, wow!

- We love horses.

- Oh, I forgot!

Winky's private quarters.

[Winky meows]

[Tia] look, I think he likes it.

[all laugh]

They're really great.

Of course, you still

have your schoolwork.

Your tutors arrive

the first of the week.

Mr. Bolt,

where are the others?

- Other kids?

- Neighbors, I mean.

There are no neighbors.

Look out the window,

go on.

Look as far

as you can see.

[waves crashing]

Mr. Bolt owns

everything in sight.

Well, I can see the Sky.

I saddle him myself because

this is your first time out,

But one thing to remember,

Always mount a horse

on his left side because...

Tia? You better pay attention

or you'll be sorry.

- Mr. Duncan, that horse there.

- [whinnies]

[Mr. Duncan] that's thunderhead.

He's never been broke.
