The Good Shepherd Page #2
And even at six years old I new
there was a big big difference.
There was a lot of blood.
Father?
And in his left hand he held a note
that was sealed.
I dont know why, buy I took the
note and I put it in my pocket.
I always said it was an accident.
It wasn't and accident.
singing
Congratulations Mr.
Wilson. I'm Richard Hayes.
Master of secrets and orders.
What did the note say?
I told you I never read the note.
You didn't read the note?
No.
My father said your father
was going to be appointed
Secretary of the Navy
until his loyalty
We're not going to have a
problem with your loyalty are we?
And yet ...
a certain word
a glance, a guise,
reflecting not my gaze
but my uncertain question caught
inside a shadow of our shifting eyes.
That really is quite elegant Mr. Wilson
Good order. Very precise.
Feeling of the unknown.
Fine poetry is the music of mathematics.
Numbers.
Singing.
You have to look behind the words
to understand their meaning.
Right. Well, good night gentlemen.
Mr. Wilson
May I see you in my
office for a few words?
I am recommending you as editor of
our poetry magazine, The Politicus.
I'm honored. Thank you.
I appreciate your faith in me.
Never be ashamed of
your abilities, Edward.
Isn't there a picture that used to sit
on the mantle there, and there
was a group of soldiers...
It's my father's Crimean War regiment.
The ?????
I remember.
I'm having it mended.
I remembered it because it
reminded me of my father.
He was in the war.
Watched? What do you mean?
There's a man in a hat.
I don't see anybody.
You know. There's so much I'd
like to share with you Edward.
and I hardly know
anything about you at all.
Other that you being a
particularly bright student.
I feel that we have a
kind of kindred spirit.
No. I've started to write something.
Perhaps you'd like to hear it?
A bud has burst on the upper bough
the linnet sang in my heart today
I know where the pale green grasses show
By a tiny runnel, off the way,
And the earth is wet.
A cuckoo said in my brain.
Not yet. Not yet.
I haven't finished it.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Please.
I'm sorry.
I can't hear.
What's your name?
Edward.
I'm sorry. Would you say it again?
I have to read your lips.
Edward.
Hello. Edward.
I'm Laura.
I'm sorry.
Would you say that again?
There isn't one person in a hundred
who would walk by a hat on a bench
without giving it a second look.
That says a lot about you Mr. Wilson.
You don't distract easily.
She's a very pretty girl.
