- It doesn't matter.
- The Providence sent you.
- Come along.
Maggie, put her things in the car!
We're taking her to Dingwall.
Be sure to keep warm. She's easy to catch a cold!
You're a blessing in disguise.
Hold your dear passport. Don't forget your woolies.
- It's terribly cold out there.
- I'll take care.
- Never thought you were a teacher.
- But I am.
- I got my degree from Bristol U.
- Then again...
Had to do something after my father died. No money.
- What was your father?
- He was an architect, but not very lucky.
He only had a good job; a tavern in Chester.
And he didn't like it because he was a teetotaler.
- You lived in Chester?
- Yes, on Putnam Street.
- The Orkney Islands; do you have friends there?
- None.
- But John will come to see me.
- Who is John?
My fiance. Want to see a photograph?
Very much.
He is quite good looking.
Orkney Islands; I thought it was
impossible for civilians to go there.
It is. It was a fuzz getting my passport.
- But you got it?
- Yes, here it is.
Complete with photograph. Isn't it terrible?
- Passport photographs are never flattering.
- Haven't you taken the wrong road?
- Is this the route to Dingwall, Edwards?
- Yes, madam.
It probably is a shortcut.
- Are you sure you aren't cold?
- No, I love it.
Remember what your nanny said.
Give Miss Burnett the shetland scarf.
- Really I don't want it.
- No, you mustn't catch cold.
- Done?
- All is in order.
Well, hold on tight.
Put on these clothes.
- Did you see a light?
- Where? No.
- Take over.
A seagull.
Right, madam. We know you.
- Miss Anne Burnett?
- Yes.
- Schoolteacher?
- Yes.
- This picture, it doesn't really do you justice.
- I tought it as good as my other passport photos.
- Destination?
- Longhope.
- Age?
- 21.
- Married or single?
- Engaged.
- Pass...
- Thank you.
- What about tea, Miss?
- Yes, please.
- What time we get to Longhope?
- In about an hour, Miss.
- You're only passenger 'cept for a telephone linesman.
- Thank you.
Fix your pass there.
- Are you in the wire patrol?
- What do you think?
- Six?
- Six.
I'll pass you.
- Fine passage, James?
- You think so, Walter?
For you. All you do is stand on the bridge, but me?
It is a miracle that I keep this old tub coming.
When will we be in port to see them?
- I'll see about that.
- I hope so.
- You're the new teacher?
- Yes.
It'll be a nice change from the last one.
She was called "Wall Eyed Maggie".
- You got a pass?
- Yes.
I'm a special constable, you understand?
See that? "Orkney Constabulary", for the duration.
No one's up or down without me knowing.
- Miss Anne Burnett?
- Yes.
