[ Man ]
And here, sir, is Bishop Walter's gatehouse...
part of the second foundation,
built in 1 35 1 oflocal limestone.
- Yes. Very interesting.
- [ Man Speaking, Indistinct ]
The chapel's through here, sir,
if you care to go in.
- Not a service, sir. Merely morning prayers.
- Oh.
[ Man Continues, Indistinct ]
Mr. Gilbert, a new master
for next term, looking round.
[ Man Continues ]
[ Man ]
May not fear the power of any adversaries...
through the might
ofJesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Did the Crock see me?
Don't think so.
[ Exhales ]
I have one or two
announcements to make...
regarding the program for tomorrow.
- [ Whispers ] The headmaster.
Prizegiving will be at 9:50 a.m.
That is to say,
immediately after tomorrow's chapel.
The concert will therefore
take place in the evening.
This change from the usual procedure...
is to enable Mr. Fletcher...
whose imminent departure
from this school...
I know each of you will feel
as a personal loss --
to enable Mr. Fletcher
to reach London...
in time to play cricket
for England against Australia.
You will all of you, I know,
be conscious...
of the honor that this choice
has done to the school.
I have, most unfortunately...
another item
of sad news for you.
You will all, I know,
be most grieved...
that persistent ill health
has forced the resignation...
of Mr. Crocker-Harris.
- He is leaving us to take up a post at, uh--
at another school, and he will,
I know, carry with him...
after so many years at this school...
your sad but most heartfelt
good wishes.
So, of course, will his wife...
who has endeared herself
so much to all of us.
During the hymn,
the usual end-of-term collection...
will be made on behalf
of the school mission.
Hymn number 577:
''Lord, Dismiss Us with Thy Blessing.''
[ Organ ]
Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing
Thanks for mercies past received
Pardon all, their faults confessing
Time that's lost may all retrieve
May thy children
May thy children
Down for the cricket?
No, I'm just having a look round.
I'm joining the staff next term.
- Oh, really? What class?
- The lower fifth, I believe.
Oh.
I suppose I'm rather lucky to have got
so comparably high a class straight off.
My husband got it straight off, too,
only he stayed with it for 1 8 years.
- You just want me to blow myself up.
- Hello, Frank.
- Good morning.
- Oh, please do, sir.
Wants me to experiment and disintegrate
myself to make a Roman holiday.
Go on. Get along.
Can you come for a drink
about 1 2:
00 this morning?- I don't know. That's a bit difficult.
- You can manage a minute, surely.
Well, I'll try.
Ah, Mrs. Crocker-Harris.
I hope you'll forgive me...
if I compliment you upon the regularity
of your attendance at morning prayers.
Very good of you, Headmaster.
I always feel it makes a good start to the day.
But today of all days, when you've got so much
to get through -- most commendable.
By the way, how is your poor husband?
Bearing up, I hope?
- Mm-hmm.
A sad blow it is.
A sad blow.
What have you done with our new master?
I saw you sitting next to him in chapel.
- He's over there.
- So he is. Perhaps you'll forgive me.
Come along, Hunter.
You must meet him.
I'll try and make 1 2:00.
These are what we call
the West Cloisters.
Most of our classrooms
are in this part of the building.
