[Gasps]

Be Careful!

Why Did You Put

Your Kite In A Tree?

I Didn't Do It

On Purpose.

I Can't Run Fast Enough

To Get It Up In The Air

Properly.

Dave Could.

Pull, Dave, Pull.

It's Nearly There.

Run Faster, Dave.

Dave:
There It Goes --

I Can Feel The Wind Take It.

Come On, Kite.

Come On!

Oh, Dave, It's Flying!

You've Done It!

Oh, Well Done.

Oh, Let Me Have A Go,

Please.

Here You Are.

Thank You.

Why Aren't You

In School?

Why Do You Think?

Summer Holidays.

You're Lucky--

I've Got A Horrible

Governess Coming,

And She'll Want To Stay

Indoors All Day Doing Lessons.

What's A Governess?

She's A Sort Of Teacher,

Ain't She?

Why Don't You

Go To School Like Us?

Because It's A Colliery School,

And She's A Lady.

I'm Not A Lady!

Oh, Yes, You Are.

I'm Not A Lady!

I'm Not!

I Only Said

You Were A Lady.

How Dare You Call Me That?

Take That Back!

Nothing Wrong With That.

Yes, There Is--

The Way You Said It.

Watch What You're Doing.

You'll Tear Your Dress.

I Don't Care!

I'm Not A Lady!

Take That Back!

Stop It!

That's Enough!

What?

Ladies Don't Fight.

Alice:
I Wonder What

It's Like Down The Pit.

Haven't You Ever

Been Down?

We Go Down All The Time.

You Can't.

You're Too Young.

Boys Aren't Allowed

To Work Down The Mines

Until They're 14.

We Don't Work, Exactly.

We Help Bert

With The Ponies.

The Ponies?!

You Help With The Pit Ponies?!

Yes. We Go To The Stables

Near Every Day.

We Help Look After Them.

You'll Miss Them

When They're Gone, Won't You?

Gone?

The Ponies!

Mum, The Ponies!

Now,

Where Have You Been?

The Ponies!

What About The Ponies?

They're Gonna

Get Rid Of Them.

They're Putting

Machinery In Instead.

What'll Become

Of The Ponies?!

What Will They Do

With Them?!

What Can They Do

With Them?

Nobody's Going To Pay

For Their Keep

If They Can't Work.

Come On, Sit Down

And Have Your Tea.

What Will Happen To Them?

How Should I Know?

Be Thankful It's Only The Ponies

They're Getting Rid Of

And Not The Men.

Of Course,

You Wouldn't Care!

You're The One That Left

My Father In The Pit!

You Got Out Yourself

And Left Him To Die!

Luke!

Dave...

...How Could You Say

Such A Thing To Him?

I Don't Care.

He Has No Right

To Be Here In Our House.

It's His House Now.

He Works All Day

Down That Pit

To Keep Us In Food

And Clothes, And You--

I Don't Want Him Here.

Nor Do I.

What Does It Matter

What You Want?!

Go To Bed, Both Of You!

You Can Go Without Your Tea!

Perhaps That Will Teach You To

Remember Who Earns It For You.

I Brought You

Some Bread And Milk.

Come On.

Ta.

If He's Asleep,

You Eat It All.

Shove Over A Bit.

Dave, You Know

Luke Didn't Leave Your Father.
