Yes, He Did.

No, He Didn't.

Luke Was Injured

In The Fall,

And Your Father Went In

To Rescue Him.

Then The Second

Explosion Came.

I Know...

But Luke Could've Done

Something To Help Him.

He Was Brought Out

Unconscious.

What Could He Do?

God Bless.

Well, That's The Lot.

The Rest Of My Men

Will Be Here On Saturday.

Right.

I Wish I Could Go Down And

See The Ponies Before They Go.

Girls Aren't Allowed

Down The Pit.

Nor Are Boys.

But You Get Down,

And I'm Bigger Than You Are.

But Not Much.

Alice!

No, Alice, You Can't.

Morning, Bert.

Morning, Boys.

Hi, Bill.

Got Some Spares?

There You Are.

Thanks.

Sir?

If I See Those Boys

Going Down Again,

You'll Be Dismissed.

Watch It.

[Pony Neighing]

And Jester

And Bertie And Bluey.

And You Know

Which One This Is?

No.

This Is Flash.

Flash? Flash!

Watch It!

He's Not Used To Strangers.

He Might Lash Out.

Oh, Flash, You Wouldn't

Hurt Me, Would You?

Seen The Machinery On Top?

Machinery?

Them Big Crates With

The Engineers From Sheffield.

Poor Beasts--They Won't

Be Here Much Longer.

That's Wonderful.

Wonderful?!

What Do You Mean, "Wonderful"?!

If They've No More Work

For Them,

They'll Be Brought

Up Out Of The Mine

And Let Out

Into The Fields.

We Can Go Visit Them

Every Day

And Feed Them

And Look After Them.

Flash, And Jester,

And Bluey, And All Of Them.

They'll Be Able

To Run About In The Sunshine

And Be Happy And Safe.

That's What You Think,

Is It?

[Pony Neighs]

Ask Thee Father.

Ask Thee Father What Will

Become Of The Pit Ponies.

Father!

Mother,

Do You Know Fa--

Mrs. Sandman:
Alice...

Alice...

This Is Miss Coutts.

She Has Come To Be

Your Governess.

Had You Forgotten

She Was Arriving Today?

How Do You Do, Alice?

Dear Me, We Are

Miss Grubby Paws, Aren't We?

I'm Afraid We Have Rather

Let Her Run Wild.

Never Mind, Mrs. Sandman.

I'm Sure We Shall Soon Get Alice

Back Into Ladylike Ways Again.

When Will Father Be Home?

I Wanted To Ask Him--

Alice!

Where Are Your Manners?

Miss Coutts

Was Just Going Upstairs.

Would You Like To Go With Her

And Show Her The Schoolroom?

Will They Really

Put Them In The Field

And Let Them Run About?

Yes, Of Course They Will.

They'll Like That,

Won't They?

Aye, That They Will.

Good Night, Tommy.

Night, Dave.

Dave:
There, Flash,

What Do You Think Of That?

See The Sunshine, Flash?

Look--

There's Grass And Trees.

Alice:
Bluey, Oh, Bluey.

[Indistinct Murmurs]

You'll Like It Here.

They All Like It.

Come On, Flash, Sandie,

Jewel, Jester, Soldier.

Come, Star--

Flash Will Show You The Way.

[Indistinct Conversation]

...And No Tubs To Pull,

Neither.

They're Free,

Aren't They?
