By tomorrow afternoon,

you can boss her around like before.

- Bye-bye, Mrs. Evershim.

- Bye-bye.

See you in a couple of days.

- Can you find your way?

- Yes.

How come doctors speak to everybody

like they're babies?

I know.

I'm sorry for spoiling your birthday...

...and for giving you a fright.

Is it all right if I play

with William and Mary now?

Yes, of course.

Listen, Mary Mouse,

when Grandma gets better...

...we're going with her

to a hotel by the ocean.

You've never been

to the ocean.

I'll tell you,

it's big.

Look at the hotel, Grandma.

It's not half bad.

- Welcome, madam.

- Thank you.

Think it'll be a nice day, yes?

Can you manage, Luke?

Come on, Luke.

There we go.

Welcome to the Excelsior!

Nicola Cole.

I've looked forward to meeting you.

You look marvelous.

Wish I could say the same for you.

Miss Ernst.

I am the owner of the hotel.

We're very happy

to have you here.

Delighted.

Should I sign or something?

This is my secretary.

Yes. How are you?

Ladies.

- Ina Clay Beckman.

- Indeed.

Julia Whitman.

Julia. Yes. Where are you from?

Darlington.

- Lois Leffour, from Southampton.

- Lois.

In there, that must be where you sleep.

The carpetbag on the bed, please.

I'll have a wash and brush-up

while you explore the place.

Then we shall have tea together...

...and you'll show me around, yes?

Thank you.

Don't lock me out.

I promise I won't.

You look wonderful, Miss Ernst.

We are looking forward to this afternoon.

What are you doing?

The raisins are all around the edge

of these cakes.

They're really good.

Thanks.

My name's Luke.

Bruno Jenkins.

The cucumber sandwiches

are all right, too...

...except when they use margarine

instead of butter.

How much pocket money

do you get?

My dad's rich,

but he's very tight.

We've got three cars.

Hello, boys.

I hope there's butter

in the sandwiches today.

I really do hate margarine.

You've got those excellent cakes again.

There should be 14 of the...

Mr. Stringer!

- What happened?

- I went to make the bed. They were there.

- What?

- White and disgusting.

Calm down.

Is this your room?

Yes.

I'm sorry, madam,

but I cannot permit mice in my hotel.

How dare you say that

when your rotten hotel...

...is full of rats anyway?

Rats?

There are no rats

in this hotel.

I saw one this morning running

along the corridor into the kitchen.

Madam, you only arrived

in the hotel this afternoon.

Morning, afternoon.

I saw a rat in your hotel...

...and if matters do not improve...

...I'll have to report you

to the public health authorities.

Look, madam,

I'm not prepared...

The cakes in the lounge are nibbled

all around the edges. I can show you.
