'This is Liberty Hill, a small town,

..where streets are named for trees

and heroes and a sense of life's

continuity runs in the air. '

'Like a hundred other such towns

it puts a special stamp on its own. '

'People born and raised here,

high and low, rich and poor, are

neighbours in an irrevocable way. '

'They have all been exposed

at a tender, malleable age...

..to the impartial justice,

inflexible regulations...

.. and the grey, calm, neutral eyes

of the same teacher -

the Terrible Miss Dove. '

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Mr Porter.

What are you using on your lilies?

Sulphate of ammonia -

the best fertilizer.

Except for lilies.

Particularly for lilies.

They will perish.

There she goes, Jincey -

I wish Little Whosit would copy

Miss Dove's sense of time.

Who could stand it? Imagine burping

a baby that resembled Miss Dove!

Seventeen minutes past eight.

Eat up. Miss Dove just went by.

You don't want to be tardy.

Oh, puke! The oatmeal stinks.

Excuse yourself and get to school!

Yes, sir. Excuse me.

Go on!

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Mr Levine.

Morrie is coming home to visit.

He will want to see his old teacher.

I shall be happy to see Maurice.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, William.

Bobsie! Mark, how's that left foot?

OK.

Peggie, how's my best girl?

Fine.

Well, what a pretty pink dress.

It's orange, Mr Spivey.

My mother made it.

She did?

Isn't he cute with the small fry?

He oughtta have oodles of his own.

It's a shame such a family man

never married.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

John, send me a fast one!

Nice try, Mr Spivey.

Let me caddy for you.

Please don't bother, Miss Elwood.

Spring's in the air. Baseball games,

state proficiency tests coming up...

Is Cedar Grove going for

the geography pennant again?

The children will try hard.

The results will reflect credit

on all concerned.

I heard what you said about spring.

It makes you want

to do something mad! Whooh!

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Perry.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Terry.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Robert.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Mark.

I forgot my handkerchief.

First things first, Harrison.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Harrison.

You may take a tissue from my desk.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, Margaret.

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Attention, please.

The lesson will begin.

We will continue with our study of

the dietary habits of animals.

"Bears like honey. They are also fond

of red ants which have a flavour

similar to that of pickles. "

Robert!

You know what to do, Robert.

You may return to your desk, Robert.

We will resume.

"The camel is not a pretty beast,

but he can go days without water. "

Margaret, you will now occupy

the posture correction stool.

We will resume.

You better tank up!

"The camel is not a pretty beast,

but he can go days without water. "

Who's afraid of that old... stick?

Good morning, Miss Dove.

Good morning, David.

The state proficiency tests

will be held next Monday.

I think it would be advisable

to utilise this period for review.

No, David. You had ample opportunity

to quench your thirst before class.

Take out your books, please.

I advise that you memorise the

agriculture of the Argentine pampas.

'That's strange. A sharp pain. '

'Probably a muscular spasm. '

'If I tranquillize my mind

it will pass. '

'I will think about the Alps - white,

clean, rising above Lake Lucerne. '

Come back, Victoria.

Hellfire and damnation!

You will remain after class, David.

Yes, Miss Dove.

Open your notebook to a blank page.

You will copy that sentence 2 times.

You will copy that sentence 20 times.

Before lunch?

By the time you have finished,

the cafeteria will still be open.

David...

Yes, Miss Dove?

Is your father likely to be home?

But I'm doing the sentences.

Answer my question. Your father,

does he come home for lunch?

Yes, Miss Dove. Daddy's home.

I am indisposed, David.

I... I am ill.

Will you go and tell your father?

Ask him to call young Dr Hurley.

Mention this to no-one.

David, do not loiter.

Run.

I'll take a short cut through

where the old bank used to be!

'"Where the old bank used to be. "'

Hello there! Home from school?

Good afternoon, Mrs Aldrich.

I returned today.

Welcome home. Nice to see you.

Thank you, Dr Hurley, nice to

see you. How is young Dr Hurley?

He celebrated

his 45th birthday yesterday.

Look at her, John. Hasn't she

something that sets her apart?

It's like the difference between

fine porcelain and ordinary ware.

That school should've

given her something, it cost enough.

Not as much as it cost your father

to send you to Harrow and Oxford.

Quality can't be purchased.

Whatever that girl becomes

is certain to be remarkable.

As her father, you're biased -

but you may be right.

Welcome home.

Thank you, sir.

It's pleasant to see you, Mr Porter.

The feeling is mutual.

I hope Mrs Porter is well.

Yes. She told me to find out

when you both can come to dinner.

Then again, I expect you met

some dashing young men while away.

I met one I liked very much.

What's that?

He's an archaeology major

at Princeton.

Tell me later. I have a surprise.

From my London dealer, that elusive

edition of Marco Polo's travels.

Oh, I know how happy you are.

But you haven't opened it.

So I could share it with you tonight
