Young and Innocent Page #5

deserted mill until dark.

Then you return and ride me over

to Tom's Hat before it closes.

I feel like Bonnie Prince Charlie.

You must be Flora MacDonald.

A little while ago I was

Florence Nightingale.

That's what I like about you,

you're different.

How can you joke about this?

Don't you know what it means if

you're caught?

I'd make a rough guess.

Horribly rough.

Well, it isn't funny, you see?

No, but I can laugh because

I'm innocent.

You don't believe that, do you?

I wish you did.

Well, what are you going to do?

For what we're about to receive.

Let the Lord make us truly

thankful.

O.K.

Chris, you behave yourself.

Think of what this means.

O.K.

It ought to be said in

Latin, really.

You needn't swag just because you

were talking Latin last term.

Did you go to the dentist's this

morning?

- Yes, dad.

- It hurt?

No fear, look!

Oh, it is a big hole, isn't it?

That didn't hurt.

I hardly felt anything.

The only thing is I must take my

potatoes mashed.

You know, I don't mind going to

the dentist's.

You were jolly white at breakfast.

- I wasn't!

- Yes, you were.

You were walking like a jellyfish.

- Let's have a look!

- Big, isn't it?

Get over with your lunch, it's

not a nice conversation.

I may even bleed.

Stanley, be quiet!

Chris, you might lend me your gun

after lunch.

I want it for myself, old boy.

Erica, you shouldn't let either

of them have it, it's...

...highly dangerous.

- Top of the class!

- Don't tease him, you two!

- He does speak English.

- Highly dangerous.

- Oh, shut up!

- Now that is English.

Chris can't shoot straight anyway.

Can't I? What about this?

- Christopher don't be disgusting!

- It's a jolly fine one!

Take it away, Chris, and go wash

your hands!

- I washed them before lunch.

- Do as I tell you!

O.K.

Sergeant tells me you ran out of

petrol, Erica.

Yes, I... I had to push it

for miles.

- Haven't they caught him yet?

- No, not yet.

It's only a matter of time,

of course.

Of course, my dear Watson.

Is your tooth all right, Stanley?

Shall I have your potatoes mashed

with milk?

It's all right, don't fuss, Erica!

It really depends how much

money he has.

That's often a big factor in

cases like this.

- A big what?

- Factor!

- Never heard of him.

- Richard...

How much did he have on him?

Oh, the police think about three

schillings.

The solicitor took two or three

pounds in advance.

Did you wash your hands,

Christopher?

Yes, Erica.

Then sit down and get on with

your lunch.

If he has spent those last three

schillings it looks to me as...

...if he's caught like a rat

in a trap.

Do as I tell you, Christopher!

O.K. Guns are the best things for
