...but deliver us from evil. For thine is

the kingdom, power and glory forever.

I can feel that the sickness has moved

into my lungs now.

And that means I might not get well.

What's going to happen?

You may have to be here without me.

If God wants...

...l'll be with your father and we'll

be guardian angels watching over you.

This is my special place.

It's quiet here,

and I can see the house.

Hollow out this ground about so deep.

And line it with thatch and moss.

Then fill it in...

...and smooth it over with earth.

I'll write out a prayer for you to say.

We'll carve a marker and it will say:

"Here lies Sarah Hargraves.

Wife of William, mother of Lillian..."

And I know I'm not your

real mother, Richard.

But I would like to have it said:

"And mother of Richard."

We pray the Lord to grant

this last abiding wish.

That Lilli and Richard love each other,

take care of each other...

...and keep up with their lessons...

...and be prepared for the

ship when it comes. Amen.

- Breakfast looks extra good today.

- Thank you.

- Don't forget, you cook tomorrow.

- You're the one who always forgets.

- What? What do I forget?

- To colour your eggs for the hunt.

I didn't forget. I don't think

we should do it this year.

But we do it every Easter.

The calendar marks say tomorrow's

Easter, so we must have the hunt.

Why?

How else do we know who finds

the most eggs and wins?

- Wins what, Richard?

- I don't know.

Nothing. Just wins.

It seems silly to me. I don't

understand why we have to do it.

Because Mother would want us to.

I've got an idea. Whoever finds

the most eggs this year wins a prize.

What kind of a prize?

If you win,

I've gotta give you something.

And if I win,

you've gotta give me something.

It's a wonderful idea.

I hid ten eggs between

the beach and the berry patch.

I hid ten between the rocks

and the fern glade.

- Ready?

- Ready. Get set. Go!

I found nine. Beat that.

- I only found eight.

- The winner's me. Where's my prize?

You were down so long.

What were you doing?

You'll see.

Your prize!

I'm gonna keep this forever.

My prize. The white bead.

I think it looks nice in my hair.

Do you?

I don't care what you do with it...

...or how you wear it.

You can hang it from your nose

for all I care.

Back and forth.

Round and round.

You think this whole reef is yours.

You think you can swallow

anything that swims.

You'd like to catch me, wouldn't you?

But I was too fast, stupid sea slug.

I can beat you every time.

And if you don't believe me,

I'll prove it!

Master of the reef!

The first time, he almost got me.

But I was too fast for him.

This time, he was lying in wait.
