The Little Princess Page #4

Hello General.

Are you glad to see me?

Well if Mr. Geoffrey is going to give|me something tamer than you, I'm|afraid it's not going to be much of a ride.

- Rose something's wrong. What is it?|- Miss Minchin is taking away my|Thursday afternoons.

- But why?|- We must have been seen together.

- Well does that mean that I can never see you|alone again? Of course not darling. - No matter|what Miss Minchin says, we'll find a way.

I can't understand the woman.What|is she afraid of? Why shouldn't we|see one another.

Gossip I suppose. She only lives|for that school the variety of the|propriety of the snobbisheness.

Fiddlesticks. She's afraid of losing an excellent|teacher whom she gets for nothing. I won't|stand for it. I will have a talk with her myself.

No darling you mustn't do that.|She'd only discharge us both.

She may not have the chance if|things continue to pop in South Africa.

- You mean you might go?|- Wouldn't you want me to if they|call for volunteers?

Of course darling you'd have to.

There is nothing to worry about|now. This poor rumpous will never|get that serious.

I expect I'll have to make my visit a|little longer.

- Oh Mr. Brady is there one this|morning for the little princess?|- We'll see my child we shall see.

Of she don't hear from her father|every so often her eyes get that sad|it hurts me to look in them.

-Have no fear little one.|- There is a letter for her this time.|Oh i'm so glad sir.

-A letter?|- It's from my daddy.

-Oh how nice.|- But it isn't.

- It's very bad news. Really?|-What's the matter dear?

He says the boys are not behaving|as expeted. And he may not get|here in time for my birthday.

But that's months old. So many|things may happen before then.He|can still come.

I'm writing Miss Minchin to give you|ar bithday party such as I should|give you if I were there.

You are to go on a regular spree.|Buy anything and everthing your|heart desires.

Now last and most important of all|my darling....

...I want you to pause at exactly 2|o'clock on your birthday..

..close your eyes and send me a kiss.

For my eyes also will also be closed|and I'll be giving you a kiss too.

Isn't he the most wonderful man in|all the world?

- With one exception...|- Well Mr. Geoffrey is very nice.

What's that?

- Who are they Miss Rose?|- They are volunteers.

- Are they going to South Africa too?|- Yes dear, they're going to relieve|our poor soldiers in Maefking.

- Is there something the matter with|our soldiers in Mafeking?|- The boars have them all cut off.

We were unable to break through|their lines and ger help to them.

They're sick and hungry dear and|desprate. They're holding out like|true British soldiers.
