The Little Minister Page #5

You men and women

of thrums know

That I wish you well.

There is not much time.

The soldiers will be

here before you know it,

And then it'll be

too late.

She has

a false tongue.

Don't listen to

the brazen woman.

She tells us

the truth.

Listen to her.

She brought us

the news.

You all run in different

directions, you're lost,

But if you

keep together,

You can force the way into the

country, where you can scatter.

That's what the captain of the

soldiers is afraid you'll do.

Aye, that's a

good thought, egyptian.

Then that's

what we will do!

That's what you will

not do.

The truth is not in

this wicked woman.

The soldiers!

The soldiers are coming!

We need the men.

They're here!

They're here!

You see! You see!

Put down

your weapons.

Come along!

Follow me!

Women!

Gather the divots.

The bigger the better.

Did you see how

she flouted me?

That I did.

Come on!

Men, get ready to run.

Women to the left side

till I give the word.

Yeah,

but they'll fire.

Have no fear.

They'll no fire.

Destroy!

Don't fling those stones.

Turn them down

the trail.

Gentlemen, advance

and hem them in.

Oh, if I could only

fling straight.

Get him.

Woman.

You're a dear.

Only 6 prisoners,

your lordship.

The whole thing

has been a fiasco

Because you did not

take them by surprise.

It isn't like it

if the soldiers

Spread the news

that they were coming.

The men didn't even know

their own destination.

We'll find out

something when

We lay our hands

on that gypsy.

Lord rintoul?

Yes?

I am gavin dishart,

The auld licht

minister.

I am happy to know you, mr. Dishart.

This is the sheriff

and captain halliwell.

How do you do?

I am told you've done

good service tonight

In the interest of

peace and order.

Thank you,

lord rintoul,

But i'm afraid

the gypsy had

More influence with the

people tonight than I had.

You don't happen

to know

Who gave

the warning signal,

Do you, mr. Dishart?

Signal?

What signal?

The horn. 3 blasts of the horn.

Horn?

3 blasts.

No.

No, I-

I didn't know.

You look very tired,

mr. Dishart.

Yes. Yes, I am.

I came to ask you to

be as lenient as you can

With these poor men

you've arrested.

They're so easily misled.

As we all are.

I'll attend to

the weavers.

They will not be

dealt with too harshly,

But they must learn not

to throw stones and clods

At soldiers performing

their duty.

Oh, yes. You're quite

right, sir, of course.

If you'll pardon me,

i shall go.

Good night,

mr. Dishart.

Good night.

And let me

thank you again

For all you did

for us tonight.

You set

a wonderful example.

Thank you.

Halt!

The soldiers, dear.

Oh, it's you,

mr. Dishart,
