The Boy Page #3

an opportunity to...

...to explain to you

the idiosyncrasy...

...of a child as unique

as our Brahms. But...

...youll figure them out by now.

Im sure. While simply to...

...help you along.

A schedule. With rules.

Mrs. Heelshire she was kind

enough to write one out, you see.

Now, may seem a bit silly, but

it is important that you...

...follow them because Brahms

is not like other children.

He can be... particular.

Im afraid we may have indulged

him a bit over the years.

Go on, mommy!

Malcolm will be by once

a week with groceries,

and of course your payment.

And Im sure that he can

answer any other...

...questions that you might...

...that you might have. Im sorry,

Im... Im a bit off today. Its...

Its so long since

weve gone anywhere.

Be good to him and

hell be good to you.

Be bad to him...

She will...

...be good to him,

wont you Miss Evans?

Yes. Ill treat him like my own.

Im so sorry.

Come along my dear,

its time we left.

No offense Brahms, but

you kinda creep me out.

Jesus Greta. You just got here

and youre already cracking up.

Hey, its Sandy. Leave

a message...or dont.

Hey, its me. Again.

Call me when you can.

And send me some more magazines, too.

Anything with...

Actually anything.

Okay.

Hello?

Sandy?

Cole?

You need a lift?

So all that food

just goes to waste?

No, not all of it.

Mr. Heelshire eats some of them.

Hes always been the less

strict one about all of this.

You could have

warned me, you know.

- And ruin the surprise?

- Thanks.

Speaking of surprises.

Your first weeks pay.

Good job, well done.

Thank you.

- But I have to ask you.

- Yes, I am single.

Believe it or not.

- Whats the story with the doll?

- Yeah.

It was a fire. Brahms

didnt make it out.

On its eighth birthday.

Such a tragedy.

And the doll turned up

not while after that.

I know it must seem strange.

I mean it is bloody strange.

Its all harmless.

A way to cope. I cant imagine...

...what it must be

like to lose a child.

So he died twenty years ago.

Hed be about your age.

Theyve lived like

this for twenty years?

And theyve been looking

for a nanny the last year.

Youre probably going mad

in this house, arent you?

It might be good to get out. I can

show you our world-famous nightlife.

I know you can not just let Brahms,

but I wont tell if you want.

I just...

- I just got out of a thing.

- No.

This is not a thing.

No, I assure you of that.

This is...

...professional courtesy seeing as were

employed by the same people.

Its a duty is what it is. I will

take no pleasure in it whatsoever,

I promise.

- Yeah?

- Okay, Yeah.

Do you realize thats more money

than I make an entire month?
