Wee Willie Winkie Page #3

Synopsis: Priscilla Williams is a young girl traveling with her mother, Joyce, to join her paternal grandfather, a British army colonel, at the post he commands in northern India. Upon arrival, they witness the capture of Khoda Khan, leader of the rebel Indian faction. Priscilla plays at being a soldier and is even given a uniform and allowed to drill by the genial Sergeant MacDuff, but her gruff grandfather disapproves and insists she remain apart from the troops. She eventually charms him, along with everyone else on the post, including Khoda Khan, whom she wins over by returning a talisman he's dropped. When the attractive Lieutenant Brandes deserts his post to take Joyce to a dance, Khan escapes, and Brandes is arrested. As hostilities with the rebels mount, Priscilla and servant Mohammet Dihn --actually an Indian spy--take off for Khoda Khan's stronghold.

- Well, what is it?

- How can I get to be a soldier?

- You?

- Really! It's important.

Who ever heard of a little girl

being a soldier?

Run along home

and play with your dolls...

and don't follow me anymore.

- Why, hello there.

- Oh, hello, Coppy.

How's your mother?

- She's a bit peaky.

- A bit peaky?

Yes. She's going riding

to put some meat on her bones.

I'm going riding too.

I might meet her.

Coppy, I'm kind of worried.

You are? About what?

I've gotta be a soldier,

and I don't know how to start.

Whoever put that idea

into your head?

The colonel.

You see, the colonel's never

had any little girls around.

All he understands is soldiers.

So I've decided to be one.

Then maybe he'll like me.

How do I start, Coppy?

Well, let's see.

Good morning, lassie.

Good morning.
