The Rainbow Page #2

You Lenskys seem to be an exception.

They say Granddad died with a stethoscope on.

He had connections with the medical profession and had a practice in Beldover. That's where Mum was born.

I've always thought it romantic to have Polish blood.

More than British? Is your father not romantic?

Of course, or he wouldn't have swept Mum off her feet.

They were married in that church. Shall we go in?

Oh, dear. I thought I'd escaped church parade today.

Come along.

Beg pardon, sir, didn't hear you.

This is dreadful.

Dreadful and wonderful.

Then let's stay a minute.

You loved flying high, didn't you?

Better than being earthbound. You'd think so if you lived in our house.

This reminds me of Ingram from my platoon.

Why's that?

He had a girl in Rochester. They'd make love in the cathedral.

How nice.

Ended badly. The verger caught them, got their names, made a row about it

What a shame. He shouldn't have objected.

He said it was a profanity.

No, I think it's right.

To make love in the house of God.

I promised your mother I'd have you home early, you've school tomorrow.

Come along, I'll buy you a lolly.

Push and glide! Push and glide!

Ethel, as the arms complete their stroke, bend the legs back.

Don't let your feet break water.

Push and glide! Heads steady. All right.

WHISTLE:

WHISTLE:

Come on, I'll race you.

I've won. But you've good form. What's your name?

Ursula, Miss Inger. Ursula Brangwen.

Right, Ursula Brangwen.

Class dismissed. No lingering in the cubicles - Class Three are due.

Do you think it's wicked to let a man kiss you - a man you've just met?

I should think. It depends.

Real kisses, I mean. Not just flirting. He's a soldier.

Where did he kiss you?

In church.

I see. And what time was it?

Erm. About a quarter to seven.

Oh, yes, I think it'd be very wrong.

What do you think of the new athletics mistress?

Not a lot. She was rough with me.

Ursula. Ursula.

I enjoyed our race, did you?

Erm, yes. Yes, I did.

Tell me, have you a bicycle?

No. Er, yes.

My sister does, we share it.

Would you like to come for a swim on Saturday? I've a cottage on the river, you could stay for tea.

Thank you. Yes, I'd like that.

Come along, Class Three. Come on, girls. Come along.

Into the water. You'll be swimming like dolphins in no time.

NO, YOU CAN'T! I NEED IT! LISTEN TO ME!

STOP, WILL YA?! I SAID NO!

Stop! Oh, I hate you.

Mmm! Such peace.

Be more comfortable with your boots off. Here.

How do you spend your weekends?

Helping Mother. Going to church.

Church is peaceful.

GIGGLES:

Why do you laugh?

The last time it was anything but!

I was with a friend looking for seclusion.
