2:15- [Newsboy] War has started.
2:16Right here, right here.
2:19All about it.
2:39Why are they sending so many soldiers Daddy,
2:42if it's only gonna be a little war?
2:44To make those stubborn boars take us serious this time,
2:47my darling.
2:48When they realize Her Majesty intends to put a stop
2:50to their nonsense, they'll quiet down.
2:51They'd better.
2:54Anyhow, when you get there,
2:56you'll stop them, won't you Daddy?
2:58I'll do my best dear.
3:17I'm gonna miss you so.
3:19I'll be back and we'll be together again
3:21before you can say knife.
3:23I can say knife a good many times in a year.
3:25But at the school you'll have charming little girls
3:27to play with, books to read, a pony to ride
3:29and after all, there'll be Emily you know.
3:32Yes, there will be Emily.
3:35And she does look as though
3:36she'd be an understanding friend.
3:37Don't you think Daddy?
3:39With that intellectual forehead, I'm sure of it.
3:57It's not a very cheerful looking school, is it Daddy?
4:00I'm afraid nothing'd seem
4:01very cheerful to us at the moment.
4:02Well maybe it'll be better on the inside.
4:05Of course it will.
4:06- [Man] I'm sorry sir.
4:07So sorry, we're all sorry.
4:08Get it out.
4:09The very idea delivering a thing like this
4:11at the front door.
4:13Oh look Daddy, my pony.
4:15Your employer will answer for this.
4:16Now take him away.
4:17Yes, far away.
4:18Oh no Daddy.
4:20Oh I say.
4:21Just a moment.
4:23You are Miss Minchin?
4:24I am.
4:25I'm Captain Crewe.
4:27I'm afraid I've caused you no end of inconvenience.
4:29You most certainly have Captain Crewe.
4:32May I step inside and explain?
4:34Come in.
4:35Wait here with the pony.
4:36- [Delivery Man] Right-o, guvna
4:39I'm terribly sorry.
4:39I had no intention
4:41of having the pony delivered inside your house.
4:42There are a number of things beside the pony.
4:44Parcels have been arriving here
4:45collect for you daughter for hours.
4:48Follow me please.
4:59(sighs)
5:00Apparently you are not aware Captain Crewe,
5:02that I conduct one of the most dignified
5:03and exclusive schools in London.
5:05Oh yes, yes, so I understood.
5:07That's precisely the reason
5:08why I brought my daughter to you.
5:10I would not have gathered that from your actions.
5:13Really now, I'm not entirely to blame.
5:15You see Sara and I've only just arrived from India.
5:17Sara's lived there practically all her life.
5:19We'd no more than got here when I learned
5:21that my regiment was to leave at once for South Africa.
5:23So we had to act hurriedly.
5:24But I wrote you explaining that I do not take young ladies
5:27without an interview and the most impeccable references.
5:30I wrote you also that at the moment I had no vacant rooms.
5:35Well in that case Daddy,
5:36we might as well move on.
5:38This is a bit awkward.
5:39You see, your letter never reached me
5:41and I'm afraid it never occurred to me
5:43that any school wouldn't welcome my little Sara.
5:45Obviously.
5:47If it's a question of my social standing,
5:49my father was Sir George Crewe, you've heard of him perhaps.
5:52Oh naturally.
5:54And the best financial references I could give you
5:55would be the directions
5:57of the South African Holding Syndicate.
5:58I'm the principal stock holder in the Syndicate.
6:02My brother, Captain Crewe.
6:04Our professor of elocution and dramatics.
6:06How do you do?
6:07Charmed, I'm sure.
6:08I say, isn't the Eclipse Diamond Mines one of your holdings?
6:11One of the most important, of course.
6:13- [Brother] Of course, of course.
6:14I'm sorry to appear casual Miss Minchin,
6:15but the situation is quiet distressing.
6:17I sail in an hour from the East India docks.
6:19I expect you'll just have to take me
6:21to Africa with you, Daddy.
6:22Oh no.
6:24And what would a little girl like you do in Africa?
6:26Forgive me Captain Crewe, I fear I've been over zealous.
6:29The reputation of my school you know,
6:30one has to be so cautious.
6:32But after this interview, I can see at a glance,
6:34such a dear little child.
6:37It'll be a pleasure to have her with us.
6:39Does that mean I've gotta stay?
6:41Yes dear, you're to have that privilege.
6:43You and your little pony.
6:45Such a dear little pony.
6:46This is made out to the school.
6:47Will it be enough for the moment?
6:49Oh quite. I should say it would.
6:50Why it's stupendous.
6:52I beg your pardon, but haven't I seen you
6:54somewhere before?
6:55Quite possible my dear Captain.
6:56Your face is most familiar.
6:58Were you ever on the stage?
6:59I seem to associate you with one of the old music halls.
7:01Music halls, my brother on the stage?
7:04Ridiculous.
7:05Ridiculous indeed, you're quite right?
7:06And now shall we look at little Sara's room?
7:15Just a moment Ms. Rose.
7:18This is Ms. Rose, one of our most capable teachers.
7:21Captain Crewe has done us the honor
7:22of placing his little daughter Sara with us.
7:24How do you do Ms. Rose?
7:25How do you do Captain Crewe?
7:27We shall do everything we can
7:28to make your little girl happy.
7:29- [Captain] Sure you will.
7:30Children, we have a new pupil.
7:33Sara Crewe.
7:34Say how do you do to her.
7:35- [Girls] How do you do?
7:37I'm very well thank you.
7:39(giggling)
7:40Lavinia, Jessie, that will do.
7:44You may proceed Ms. Rose.
7:46Children.
7:54She looks just like a little princess.
7:56Isn't she?
7:57That's what she is, a princess.
7:58And I expect now, some people around here
8:01won't think they're so smart.
8:03Oh won't they?
8:04Wait and see, princess indeed.
8:08Fortunately the rooms have just been papered
8:11and the fireplace has an excellent draft.
8:13But I thought you didn't have any rooms.
8:15I didn't know then what a dear little girl was coming.
8:20Why does that make more rooms Daddy?
8:22Shh.
8:26Lady Veda's little daughter's
8:27only recently vacated the rooms.
8:28Our best suite of course.
8:31Hmm.
8:32Do you think you could brighten it up a bit?
8:34I'd like it made as gay as possible.
8:36I brought a few things from India,
8:38but perhaps you could buy whatever else is necessary.
8:40With pleasure Captain Crewe.
8:42I'd like Sara to ride every afternoon.
8:44If the weather's alright?
8:45Of course.
8:46Fortunately we have a splendid riding master.
8:49I expect you think I'm completely spoiling the child.
8:52No doubt you're right.
8:53But actually it's good for her.
8:55She's much too inclined to bury her little nose in a book
8:58and keep it there until someone lures her out of it.
9:01You see Miss Minchin, Sara has no mother.
9:04And we've never been separated for more than a few days.
9:06How touching.
9:09This is gonna be very hard for her.
9:11Have no fear Captain Crewe,
9:13I'm a mother to all my little girls.
9:16And now, I'll leave you to your farewells.
9:29How much longer have we got Daddy?
9:34Only a few minutes darling.
9:45You're learning me by heart little Sara?
9:47No Daddy, I know you by heart.
9:51You're inside my heart.
9:57We're gonna be brave, aren't we?
10:02I'll tell you what, let's pretend we're back in India.
10:07And I'm going away with the troop for a few days.
10:09Shall we?
10:11We've fought this kind of battle before, haven't we?
10:15And you never cried once when I went away.
10:18Remember?
10:20Yes Daddy.
10:23But this is gonna be our hardest battle.
10:26We'll be good soldiers, won't we?
10:30Yes Daddy.
10:39Shall we say goodbye, like we used to at home?
10:42Yes Daddy.
10:45Alright then.
10:46Chin up.
10:49Go to the window and look out.
11:03Now say it as we used to.
11:07My Daddy has to go away.
11:09But he'll return most any day.
11:12Any moment I may see, my Daddy coming back to me.
11:23My Daddy has to go away.
11:27But he'll return most any day.
11:31Any.
11:35I can't do it this time, I can't do it.
11:45You're crying too.
11:48Afraid we're not quite such good soldiers as we thought.
11:52Oh yes we are.
11:56I can do it now.
12:02My Daddy has to go away.
12:05But he'll return most any day.
12:09Any moment I may see, my Daddy coming back to me.
12:14(door clicks closed)
12:22(sobbing)
12:30Oh.
12:34(sighs)
12:35I will do it, I will.
12:38I'll pretend this is part of a war.
12:40You'll be the enemy and you'll be my trusty lance.
12:43Now ready, aim, fire!
12:49Ouch!
12:52I guess we'll have to call in the reserves.
13:00(parrot squawking)
13:05(speaking in foreign language)
13:07Good morning.
13:09Misses Sara speaks Hindustani?
13:12I've lived in India all my life.
13:14(both speaking in foreign language)
13:19Misses Sara is going to live in England now?
13:22Only until my father gets through making the boars behave.
13:25Your father is then a soldier?
13:27Yes, my father's a Captain, Captain Crewe.
13:30I'm Sara.
13:31What is your name?
13:33I am Ram Dass, servant to the honorable Lord Wickham
13:36and to her lady Shivrani.
13:39Ram Dass!
13:40Ram Dass!
13:41Yes sir.
13:42Why the deuce are you dawdling here?
13:44Finish with that bird and get on with your work.
13:48Good morning.
13:52How do you do?
13:56I'll be here at the window most every morning
13:58in case you want to talk about India.
14:00Good morning Sara.
14:02Oh good morning.
14:03Ready for breakfast dear?
14:05Well, I'm trying to be.
14:06But I don't seem to be very good at these buttons.
14:09My thumb gets lost in the holes.
14:11Here let me help you.
14:13Buttons are a bother, aren't they?
14:15I never had to button things before.
14:17But I'll learn.
14:18I'm sure you will.
14:20Here, put your shoe up.
14:21(knocking at door)
14:22Come in.
14:27Good morning Becky.
14:28Good morning.
14:30Has the young lady any boots to be done?
14:33Well, only the pair I wore yesterday.
14:35I'll get them.
14:35I'll get them miss.
14:38Oh I begs your pardon.
14:39Are you hurt?
14:40No miss.
14:42You mustn't be helping me miss.
14:44Just hold out your arms and I'll pile 'em on.
14:46Oh no miss.
14:48If Miss Minchin was to see.
14:50- [Sara] You think you can hold two more?
14:52Yes miss.
14:54There, there you are.
14:56Are ya alright?
14:59You take care of all those?
15:01Yes miss.
15:02And she does them beautifully.
15:04I thanks ya miss.
15:05Thank you for doing my shoes.
15:08Oh.
15:09Oh I'm sorry.
15:10That's alright.
15:14Goodbye Becky.
15:15Goodbye. Bye.
15:18Well, perhaps this isn't gonna be
15:20such a bad school after all with you and Becky here.
15:22(school bell rings)
15:24Oh, we'll have to hurry dear.
15:25Miss Minchin doesn't like anyone to be late.
15:26Tell me Ms. Rose, do you think Miss Minchin to be
15:29as cross as she looks?
15:32What will I have to do today?
15:34Well after breakfast you'll have a class in arithmetic.
15:36Arithmetic.
15:38Then English, then French.
15:39Then one in elocution and deportment,
15:42history and geography.
15:43Phew, I'm gonna be a busy person, aren't I?
15:46When will I get to ride my pony?
15:47Later this afternoon, about four o'clock.
15:49Oh.
15:52Children, our new pupil Sara Crewe will be down presently.
15:55As you've seen, Captain Crewe is a very delightful man.
15:58And their family is most distinguished.
16:01I shall expect you to treat her accordingly.
16:03Now you may take your places.
16:06Good morning.
16:07Ah good morning Sara.
16:09Good morning.
16:11I'm so happy you feel like joining us this morning.
16:12Did you sleep well?
16:13No I didn't, thank you.
16:15(girls giggling)
16:17Come dear.
16:18Lavinia, you and Jessie will move down one place.
16:21Sara will be seated at my right after this.
16:24Why Miss Minchin, this has always been my place.
16:26Lavinia!
16:35(clanging on pot)
16:38For this food and all the bountiful gifts bestowed upon us,
16:41we are duly grateful and do now give thanks.
16:53Why are you putting salt on your plate dear?
16:56Just in case you should ask me to have one of your eggs.
16:59(Bertie laughs)
17:08Mr. Goeffrey, will I saddle the pony for the wee lassie?
17:12I think not Sandy.
17:13We'd best use the mare for her first few lessons.
17:15Very good sir.
17:16Come on lad.
17:20Hello there.
17:23Hello Goeffrey.
17:24What luck.
17:25The old girl allowed you to come out.
17:28Sara, this is Mr. Goeffrey Hamilton.
17:31Little Miss Crewe is our new pupil.
17:32How do you do?
17:34How do you do?
17:35I believe I'm to teach you to ride.
17:37Teach me?
17:38But-- And that means
17:39two bob extra for me.
17:40Oh.
17:42Is two bob a great deal of money?
17:44(laughs) Values are comparative.
17:46In my present state it's a fortune.
17:47Well, in that case I guess I'd better be taught.
17:50(all laughing)
17:52Is my pony ready?
17:54I think we'd best start you out
17:55on something a little tamer, huh.
17:57Oh.
17:58Then hadn't I better explain things to my pony?
18:00He might feel hurt.
18:01Right you are.
18:03Ponies are very sensitive creatures.
18:04Explain the whole thing to him, thoroughly.
18:06He's right there by the arch.
18:07It, it may take me some time.
18:09That's quite all right.
18:11We'll wait here in the tack room.
18:12Alright.
18:17Hello General.
18:22Are you glad to see me?
18:23(giggles)
18:25Well, if Mr. Goeffrey's gonna give me
18:27something tamer than you, I'm afraid it isn't gonna be
18:30much of a ride.
18:32Rose, something's wrong, what is it?
18:35Miss Minchin's taking away my Thursday afternoons.
18:37But why?
18:38We must've been seen together.
18:40Well that does that mean
18:41that I can never see you alone again?
18:42Of course not darling.
18:44No matter what Miss Minchin says.
18:45We'll find a way.
18:47Well I can't understand the woman.
18:49What is she afraid of?
18:50Why shouldn't we see one another?
18:51Gossip I suppose.
18:53She only lives for that school
18:54and her ideas of propriety and snobbishness.
18:56Fiddlesticks.
18:57She's afraid of losing an excellent teacher
18:58whom she gets for nothing.
18:59I won't stand for it.
19:00I'll have a talk with her myself.
19:02Oh no darling, you mustn't do that.
19:03She'd only discharge us both.
19:07She may not have the chance
19:08if things continue to pop in South Africa.
19:10You mean you might go?
19:12Wouldn't you want me to if they called for volunteers?
19:16Of course darling.
19:18You'd have to.
19:19Oh Goeffrey.
19:22There's nothing to worry about now dear.
19:23These boar rompers will never get that serious.
19:38I expect I'll have to make my visit a little longer.
19:52Oh Mr. Bertie, is there one this morning
19:54for the little princess?
19:55We shall see my child, we shall see.
19:58If she don't hear from her father ever so often,
20:01her eyes get that sad, it hurts me to looK on her.
20:04Have no fear little one,
20:06there's a letter for her this time.
20:07Oh I'm that glad sir.
20:16(Maid giggles)

21:26Oh how nice.
21:30But it isn't.
21:31It's very bad news.
21:33Really?
21:35What's the matter dear?
21:37He says the boars aren't behaving quite as he expected
21:40and he may not get here in time for my birthday.
21:43Well that's months off.
21:45So many things may happen before then.
21:47He may still come you know.
21:51"I'm writing Miss Minchin to give you a birthday party
21:53"such as I should give you if I were there.
21:56"You are to go on a regular spree.
21:59"Buy anything and everything your heart desires.
22:04"Now last and most important of all my darling,
22:08"I want you to pause
22:10"at exactly two o'clock on your birthday.
22:13"Close your eyes and send me a kiss,
22:17"for my eyes also will be closed
22:20"and I will be giving you a kiss too."
22:29Isn't he the most wonderful man in all the world?
22:34With one exception.
22:36Well Mr. Goeffrey is very nice.
22:39(bright band music)
22:41What's that?
22:57Who are they Ms. Rose?
22:59They're the volunteers.
23:01Are they going to South Africa too?
23:11Yes dear, they're going to the relief
23:13of our poor soldiers at Mafeking.
23:15Is something the matter with our soldiers at Mafeking?
23:17The boars have them all cut off.
23:19And we've been unable to break through their lines
23:20to get help to them.
23:22Oh.
23:23They're sick and hungry dear, and desperate.
23:26But they're holding out like true British soldiers.
23:43Ms. Rose, my daddy's at Mafeking.
23:48(sobbing)
23:51Oh darling I'm so sorry.
23:53I didn't know.
23:55Oh Ms. Rose. Oh shh.
23:57- [Sara] My daddy.
23:59Darling you mustn't cry.
24:02I'm sure he'll be alright.
24:06Good afternoon Mr. Goeffrey.
24:07Good afternoon Martha.
24:08Is Ms. Sara ready for her ride?
24:09Yes sir, she'll be down presently.
24:10Thanks.
24:12Oh, are we all ready?
24:16Hello Goeffrey.
24:17Well the two most beautiful ladies in the world.
24:21Well you're not in your riding things.
24:22Oh I can't go today.
24:23Ermengarde needs extra tutoring.
24:25Oh, will it take all afternoon?
24:27I'm afraid so.
24:28I have to stay with her until she can spell Constantinople.
24:30Good heavens, that may take months.
24:32You leave that to me.
24:38Shall we go?
24:41Have you been crying?
24:43But you have, there are still tears in your eyes.
24:45It's just this London fog.
24:47Oh well if that's all, let's be off, shall we?
25:01Mr. Goeffrey, would you mind very much
25:02if we didn't ride today?
25:04Not at all dear, but may I ask why not?
25:06I'd like to talk to you.
25:08Alright.
25:11It's about Mafeking.
25:13Are the soldiers really starving and sick and cut off
25:15from everything?
25:17You see my father's there and I've gotta know.
25:19Oh it's not as bad as all that.
25:21Our men aren't having an easy time of it, it's true,
25:23but they're holding out.
25:25And we're sending fresh troops every day you know.
25:27Why they'll be relieving Mafeking in no time at all now.
25:30It's getting harder every day to pretend my father's safe.
25:34Don't you worry.
25:35See here, I'll let you in on a little secret.
25:39I enlisted today.
25:40And while I don't want Ms. Rose to know quite yet,
25:42I'll be going over there shortly myself.
25:44To Mafeking?
25:45Then perhaps you can help my father.
25:47Right-o.
25:48We'll get him out.
25:49What the blazes are you doing here?
25:53Hello.
25:54Answer me you impudent puppy.
25:55What are you doing here?
25:57Don't be frightened Sara.
25:58It's only my grandfather.
25:59Don't you believe him young woman.
26:00I disowned him the day he was born.
26:02And we're really very fond of each other.
26:03Of course we are.
26:04What?
26:05We're nothing of the kind.
26:06As a favor to me, will you please stop shouting
26:08at my best paying pupil?
26:09Pupil?
26:10Paying?
26:11What are you talking about?
26:13I am master of the horse in this exclusive seminary
26:15for young ladies.
26:16You?
26:18You take advantage of my absence to become a riding master?
26:21And next door to my own house.
26:23Where's your family pride boy?
26:25- [Goeffrey] Well sir, what one must eat in family pride
26:27is a pretty thin diet.
26:28Oh blackmail, eh?
26:30You think I'll buy you off?
26:31I hadn't thought of that, but it's not a bad idea.
26:33Well I'll see you hanged, drawn and quartered first.
26:36Wait 'til I see the woman who runs this school.
26:38I'll put a spoke in your wheel.
26:40Do.
26:41She'd love to know my grandfather is Lord Wickham.
26:42She'll probably raise my salary.
26:43(growls)
26:45They're finished Misses Sara,
26:46Lord Wickham is coming.
26:47Then I'm going.
26:48A impudent young pup.
26:50Just like his father.
26:52Riding master.
26:53Blah!
26:56Maybe you're fond of him,
26:58but I don't think he's very fond of you.
26:59Oh, he's harmless.
27:00His bark's worse than his bite.
27:02I should hope so.
27:05Why is he so mad at you?
27:07Oh he isn't really.
27:08He was angry with my father.
27:09I was mixed up in their quarrel.
27:11What he really wants
27:12is to have me come begging to him for help.
27:14He'd be eating out of my hand if I would.
27:16I don't think I'd care to have him eating out of my hand.
27:19How would you like to have me eating out of your hand?
27:22You?
27:23Oh that would be different.
27:24Well I shall, if you'll do me a favor.
27:26A very important one.
27:27Oh could I?
27:29I've got an idea that you're the only one in the world
27:31who could.
27:33I want you to get Ms. Rose to go shopping with you
27:35next Wednesday.
27:36Shopping?
27:38Well shopping's as good an excuse any for Miss Minchin.
27:40Now listen.
27:41(whispering)
27:45Really?
27:46To Ms. Rose!
27:48And she said she would?
27:52Oh that's wonderful!
27:55No, not a soul.
27:57Not even Emily.
27:58Good girl.
27:59Now I've got to go.
28:01I must do some preliminary shopping.
28:03You don't have to tell me what for.
28:05Something gold and shiny.
28:07Right you are.
28:08(both laughing)
28:14Come in.
28:21What do you want?
28:22I'm very busy.
28:23Miss Minchin, I wanted to ask you something.
28:26Oh, it's you.
28:27What do you want dear?
28:29I want to ask you a big favor.
28:31Yes?
28:32Mr. Goeffrey's leaving today for the war.
28:34He's been so very nice to me.
28:36I thought I oughta throw my social obligations
28:38by doing something for him.
28:40That's what you teach us, isn't it?
28:42When someone shows you a kindness,
28:43you show them one in return?
28:45Well doing something for Mr. Goeffrey
28:47scarcely comes under the rules of social obligations.
28:51But what is it you want to do for him?
28:53May I have him for tea?
28:55Here, at the school?
28:56Oh couldn't I please?
28:57Since he's going away to war.
29:00Well, I suppose it would be permissible
29:01since he was one of the teachers.
29:03You need not mention it to the other young ladies however.
29:06No Miss Minchin.
29:07Thank you Miss Minchin.
29:09Oh thank you Miss Minchin.
29:33We must eat something.
29:34After all the trouble little Sara's gone to.
29:36I think she'll understand.
29:39You've forgotten your ring.
29:40No, I have it.
29:42See?
29:44I'm always afraid I'll forget
29:45and wear it in front of Miss Minchin.
29:47I did yesterday and, fortunately for us, she didn't see it.
29:51How I'd love to tell the old girl.
29:53We can't do that yet darling.
29:54I know.
29:56You sorry you married me?
29:59As though you didn't know.
30:00I only wanted you to tell me again.
30:04Oh my darling.
30:06I'll be living this last week over,
30:08every moment that I'm away from you.
30:11And we won't be separated, will we?
30:15Because I'll be living it over too.
30:25I thought you were having Mr. Hamilton to tea.
30:27I am.
30:28I mean I was but...
30:30Who's in that room?
30:31Oh please don't go in there Miss Minchin.
30:34Oh!
30:36(Miss Minchin sighs)
30:39Miss Minchin, Ms. Rose and I.
30:41We, we were saying goodbye Miss Minchin.
30:44How dare you risk the reputation of my school
30:47in this manner.
30:48Nothing's happened that damages
30:49your precious school's reputation.
30:51As a matter of fact, Ms. Rose and I--
30:52Goeffrey.
30:54For my sake.
30:55Oh please Miss Minchin.
30:56It was all my fault.
30:58Silence.
30:59Since you are here merely to say goodbye,
31:02please do so.
31:03Now.
31:15Goodbye Goeffrey.
31:25Bye Mr. Goeffrey.
31:28Goodbye dear.
31:33Sara.
31:34I shall expect an explanation of this.
31:37Yes Miss Minchin, as soon as I can think of one.
31:48(train whistle blows)
32:00They've been cornered like rats for seven months.
32:02I say send more troops to Mafeking
32:03if it takes every man in England.
32:05I'm with you.
32:06No, no!
32:08Oh my boy, my boy, my boy!
32:13Oh they killed my boy.
32:18I know soldiers are supposed to stand a lot.
32:21And my daddy is a good soldier.
32:23But they've waited so long for help.
32:25Please do something about Mafeking right away.
32:28Or they'll all be lost.
32:30And my daddy won't come back.
32:32(clock chimes)
32:33(celebratory band music)
32:45- [Man] Mafeking is relieved.
32:48Mafeking is relieved.
32:53Mafeking is relieved.
32:55Mafeking is relieved!
32:59Oh thank you for being so quick about it this time.
33:07Get up, get up.
33:08Mafeking is relieved.
33:10Get up!
33:11Wake up everybody, Mafeking is relieved.
33:15Oh Mr. Bertie.
33:17Did you hear?
33:18Mafeking is relieved.
33:19Yes darling, isn't it great news.
33:21Sara. Oh Ms. Rose.
33:23They're saved, my daddy and Mr. Goeffrey are saved.
33:26What's the matter? What's wrong?
33:28Nothing's wrong, nothing, nothing, nothing.
33:31Mafeking is relieved!
33:32(girls cheering)
33:34Children!
33:35Oh Miss Minchin, isn't it wonderful?
33:36Do you hear the cheering?
33:38- [Girls] Hooray!
33:56("Auld Lang Syne")
34:00Oh Becky, Becky, Becky!
34:01Oh law, I'm glad for ya miss.
34:03He's saved Becky, my daddy is saved.
34:11(celebratory music)
34:28Children, children!
34:30Attention please.
34:34It is a happy circumstance that Sara's birthday
34:36should fall on a day when we're celebrating
34:38a glorious victory for Her Majesty's army.
34:41And now Sara, will you explain to the children
34:44your wishes about your birthday?
34:47I'm very happy to have you here.
34:49And I thought I would like to give presents today.
34:51Not just receive them.
34:53Because I, I wanted to show how grateful I am
34:56that my father has been rescued.
34:58(girls twittering)
34:59Quite children, quiet.
35:00May we do the presents now?
35:02Yes, but your gifts first Sara.
35:08This is from me.
35:10Oh thank you Miss Minchin.
35:11Now all I need is to know how to sew.
35:13(all laughing)
35:15And this from the entire school.
35:17Here are pictures of your native India.
35:19Oh thank you ever and ever so much.
35:21I shouldn't have to pretend nearly so hard
35:22when I want to make believe I'm there.
35:24And now, do you want the others to have their presents?
35:27Yes, if you please.
35:29They're all over here.
35:30And your names are all on them.
35:33Here you are Ms. Rose.
35:34Oh how nice.
35:35And would you help with the other presents?
35:37Of course dear.
35:38This is for you Miss Minchin.
35:40Oh how thoughtful Sara.
35:42And...
35:51From one old trooper to another.
35:53Me in younger and happier days,
35:56when I was better known as Bubbling Bertie.
35:58Oh thank you.
36:00We'd better keep this present a secret.
36:02Mum's the word.
36:03I should say it is.
36:05Here, this is from me.
36:07Oh thank you.
36:07I hope you like it.
36:08Why it's just what I wanted.
36:10Mum's the word you know.
36:11Right-o.
36:14Oh miss.
36:15Oh.
36:18Here's my present miss.
36:20It ain't so very good.
36:27Oh thank you Becky.
36:29It ain't nothing but flannel miss,
36:32and the flannel ain't so very new.
36:35Why you dear Becky, you made it all yourself.
36:38Yes miss.
36:40I made it at nights.
36:41I knew you could pretend it was setting
36:44with diamond pin stuck in.
36:46It's beautiful Becky, I shall love it.
36:49Oh will you miss?
36:51The flannel ain't so very new.
36:53And this isn't so very new either.
36:55It's my present to you.
36:57A present for me miss?
37:00Yes Becky, with my love.
37:02What is it miss?
37:03It's a scarab from Egypt.
37:05My daddy gave it to me because it brings good luck.
37:07I'd rather you had it than anyone else I know.
37:11Oh my law miss.
37:14I think I'm gonna faint.
37:16Oh no Becky, not now.
37:18I have lots more presents for you too, in my room.
37:22I don't know what to say miss.
37:25Oh sweet Becky.
37:26Yes dear, it's very nice.
37:28Oh look at mine Miss Minchin.
37:29Beg pardon miss.
37:30Yes?
37:32Mr. Barrows of Barron Skiffer is here to see you.
37:33Today?
37:34I didn't send for him.
37:35He seems very much upset about something.
37:36He's waiting in your office.
37:38Very well, I'll go at once.
37:41Ms. Rose.
37:42The scarf is beautiful.
37:44Ms. Rose will you be sure to tell me
37:45when it's almost two o'clock?
37:47Of course dear.
37:48You know I have a very special appointment with my daddy.
37:51He's gonna be thinking of me at exactly two.
37:54I'll watch the time.
37:55Thank you Ms. Rose.
37:56Sara thank you for the handkerchiefs.
37:58They're lovely.
38:00And don't you think it's time to cut the cake?
38:02Oh yes, the cake.
38:03(giggling)
38:04Pray be seated Mr. Barrows.
38:06How much did you advanced for this party?
38:08Quite a sum I suspect.
38:10What does it matter?
38:11Captain Crewe is a very wealthy man.
38:12His check will be here shortly.
38:14No Miss Minchin.
38:15There'll be no check.
38:17What?
38:19What do you mean by that?
38:20The late Captain Crewe.
38:21The late Captain Crew?
38:23Captain Crewe is dead.
38:25He was so reported in this list this morning.
38:27Moreover, he died a bankrupt.
38:29Bankrupt?
38:31But his property, his mine!
38:32His property and his mines were confiscated
38:34by the enemy.
38:36You mean to tell me that that child is penniless?
38:38That she's left on my hands with nothing?
38:40She's certainly left penniless
38:42and she's certainly left on your hands.
38:44She hasn't a relative in the world that we know of.
38:47But her father's account is overdrawn.
38:49I was expecting a check
38:50and advanced the money for this party.
38:51So I understand.
38:52But this is monstrous.
38:55Now you have to make a wish.
38:56And blow out all the candles with one breath.
38:59My wish is that my father will come back real soon.
39:03Now take a big breath.
39:10(laughs sheepishly)
39:11I haven't got very good lungs, have I?
39:12(girls laughing)
39:14I'll turn her out on the streets.
39:15You think that wise Miss Minchin?
39:17The reputation of your school you know.
39:19My school?
39:20Well, the report might get about.
39:21And it might not sound well to the parents
39:23of some of your other pupils.
39:24Yes, that is so.
39:26Of course, the child could be made to serve in your employ
39:29until her indebtedness is worked out.
39:31But that would take years!
39:33Quite so, but at least it's better than nothing.
39:37Hurry children your ice cream's melting.
39:39Here, thank you Sally.
39:41Sara, it's almost two o'clock darling.
39:42Thank you Ms. Rose.
40:04(clock chimes)
40:07Oh Daddy, I'm thinking of you.
40:11And I know that wherever you are, you're thinking of me too.
40:21Oh Ms. Rose.
40:22I felt him with me.
40:24I really did!
40:26Miss Minchin wants you dear.
40:27Oh, alright.
40:32Children, you will leave your gifts here.
40:36Why?
40:37Where are they going?
40:39Why can't they take the presents with them?
40:41Because they are not yours to give.
40:43But I don't understand.
40:45- [Miss Minchin] You will later.
40:46Go to your room now.
40:48But Miss Minchin.
40:49Sara, go to your room.
40:53All of you.
40:58Now will you tell me what it's all about?
41:00What has happened Miss Minchin?
41:01Whatever it is you might have let her off a bit easier.
41:03Silence.
41:05Captain Crewe is dead.
41:07His name appeared on the list today.
41:09He's left the child a pauper.
41:11Oh Miss Minchin.
41:13You had better tell her.
41:16Oh I couldn't do that.
41:17You will do as you are told.
41:35Oh Ms. Rose, what's wrong?
41:37Why did Miss Minchin stop the party?
41:40Sara.
41:43I want to talk to you a minute dear.
41:49Oh darling.
41:51Oh Ms. Rose, what is it?
41:54Sara, you're a soldier's daughter.
41:59And you know that that means being brave and courageous,
42:02don't you?
42:04No matter what happens.
42:06Oh Ms. Rose.
42:08Is it something awful?
42:11Your father.
42:14But my father's alright.
42:15Mafeking is relieved.
42:17You heard them say so.
42:19Help didn't get there soon enough dear, for him.
42:23His name appeared on the list this morning.
42:27You mean with the wounded?
42:29No dear.
42:34My daddy is...
42:39Oh Sara, I'm so sorry.
42:43It can't be, it isn't true!
42:46I won't believe it.
42:47He isn't dead, he isn't.
42:50(sobbing)
43:01Have you?
43:02Yes.
43:05You may go.
43:16Sara, you understand of course, that these rooms
43:21can no longer be yours?
43:28Come with me.
44:16This is to be your room in the future.
44:19I shall have to sell your furnishings
44:21and your clothes to pay part of the debt your father owed.
44:24Ordinarily you would go to a charitable institution.
44:27But I'm going to let you remain here.
44:30There will be duties for you to perform of course.
44:34I hope you appreciate my kindness in not sending you away.
44:43I was unable to find a black dress among your things.
44:46So one of the girls has given you this.
44:48You better take off that party frock and put this on.
44:52I'll send up some shoes.
45:17(clock chiming)
45:24I don't believe it.
45:26I don't!
45:27I don't!
45:33My daddy has to go away.
45:36But he'll return most any day.
45:40Any moment I may see my daddy coming back to me.
45:48(girls murmuring)
45:51And Miss Minchin's gonna sell all her things.
45:55(tisking)
45:56It was beastly having to give back our presents.
45:59How do you feel now about your little princess?
46:07Oh miss, is there anything I can do?
46:11No Becky, thank you.
46:25Sara, I'm sorry.
46:30Sara, from now on you are not to sit with us.
46:34Return to your room and smooth down those curls.
46:36Then go to the kitchen.
46:39Run along now.
46:43Girls.
46:44Lavinia, you make take your old place beside me.
47:00Mrs. O'Connell?
47:01Oh, so the Missus has sent you down to me has she?
47:04Miss Minchin said I'm to have my breakfast here.
47:07You'll do more than eat your breakfast
47:08if you work for that one.
47:10I, I should be glad to help.
47:12You will eh?
47:15Look at you.
47:16Look what you're doing.
47:17For that you will get no breakfast.
47:20Minnie, you'd better make some more toast for the missus.
47:22Right you are.
47:23Coming up.
47:24Here's your breakfast.
47:25Take it over there.
47:27We don't associate with royalty.
47:29(Minnie laughing)
47:31Let me wait on you miss.
47:32No you don't.
47:33She can wait on herself.
47:34You can sit there and watch her eat.
47:36Perhaps that'll teach you a lesson.
47:44Please Mrs. O'Connell, may I give my breakfast to Becky?
47:48I'm not hungry this morning.
47:49Give it to the cat if you like and get to work.
47:52Wash them dishes.
47:59Oh no miss, I don't want it.
48:15The mail just came.
48:22Ms. Rose.
48:26I'll take the mail if you please.
48:45My darling girl, I have been half mad
48:48trying to find a way out for you
48:50since your letter reached me, but it has come.
48:53My grandfather has relented.
48:55I pray heaven that this money and my love
48:58will help you bear what lies ahead.
49:02Goeffrey.
49:04You say this girl's a teacher at your school?
49:07She was until I discharged her today.
49:09We're not likely to hear from her again.
49:13And I was prepared to turn over a handsome sum
49:15to that boy when he got back.
49:17Even made an ass of myself and sent him a check.
49:21Then I was right to withhold this.
49:24He made it over to her.
49:27You're not very fond of the girl, are you?
49:30Hardly under the circumstances.
49:33You're sure the girl has no legitimate claims on him?
49:37I brought her up from a foundling.
49:39Is it likely she would not have consulted me
49:41if their love had been respectable?
49:47Ram Dass!
49:50Yes sir.
49:52In future if any letters or cables come from Mr. Goeffrey,
49:56they're to be returned unopened.
49:59As you wish sir.
50:04(thunder rumbles)
50:10(knocking at door)
50:12Becky?
50:17Come in Becky.
50:21I'm glad you aren't asleep miss.
50:24It's one of them lonely nights.
50:26Yes.
50:28I wonder where Ms. Rose is.
50:30I shall miss her terribly.
50:32We're all alone in the world now.
50:34Aren't we miss?
50:35No, no we're not alone.
50:37There's my father you know.
50:39Your father?
50:41But, but Cook says he's--
50:42You mustn't say that.
50:44It isn't true.
50:45He's not dead.
50:47He's sick and wounded somewhere or he'd send for me.
50:49But he's not dead.
50:51How do you know miss?
50:53Something inside tells me so.
50:56And sometimes I hear him calling for me.
50:59Oh law miss.
51:04♪ Oh don't rob the children of the sunshine ♪
51:09♪ They won't be children long
51:11Hubert, you're smoking!
51:14As you see.
51:16Today my good woman, the British army is behind me.
51:20That uniform, you're not going to war.
51:23Quite, to the very cannon's mouth if need be.
51:25But why?
51:26Because old girl, I'm fent at the teeth
51:28with your bullying.
51:29And your treatment of Rose and little Sara
51:30is the last straw.
51:32I'd prefer the less painful horrors of the battlefield.
51:35Are you daring to criticize me?
51:37Astonishing, isn't it?
51:38But it proves that I'm competent to lead my men
51:40into the very jaws of death.
51:43After this you may never expect help from me again.
51:45I am quite calm.
51:47For if the blood thirsty boar spares me,
51:50the footlights will see Bubbling Bertie once again.
51:53Hubert, you wouldn't do that to me.
51:55Oh wouldn't I?
51:57Well ta ta old girl!
51:59(Miss Minchin exclaims)
52:35If you please sir.
52:36Yes lassie.
52:38Were you at the siege of Mafeking.
52:39Aye, that's where I stopped the bullet that stopped me.
52:42Then did you know my father?
52:44Your father?
52:45What might his name be lassie?
52:47Captain Reginald Crewe.
52:48Your father a captain?
52:50Yes, they say he is dead.
52:52But I know it can't be.
52:53And I've asked so many soldiers about him.
52:55I hoped you could tell me.
52:57No lassie, I'm sorry I can't.
52:59Why don't you ask in the hospital there?
53:01Maybe they'll have some record of him.
53:03Thank you sir, I will.
53:11If you please sir.
53:13Why the little princess as I live.
53:16It's Mr. Bertie.
53:17In person.
53:18But I thought you'd gone to war.
53:19No.
53:21Lord Roberts wanted me to of course, but he said,
53:23"Bertie old boy, the wounded need you.
53:25"So you stay here and cheer up the brave lads
53:28"who are fallen in our just cause."
53:30So I'm practically in command of this hospital.
53:33Oh Mr. Bertie, could my father be in there?
53:37Your father, princess?
53:39Yes.
53:39You see I know he isn't dead.
53:41I've been looking and looking.
53:43He could be among the wounded, couldn't he?
53:46Yes.
53:47I'm almost sure he is, somewhere.
53:50If you're in charge, could I please look for him in there?
53:52Well.
53:53Please.
53:54Yes, yes of course you may.
53:56Things like that can happen, you know.
54:14Mr. Bertie, why don't they salute you
54:16if you're in command here?
54:17Well discipline at a hospital is rather lax.
54:20Oh.
54:22Oh I say Major, they're waiting for you in ward B.
54:24There's a lot of trash up there.
54:27Uh very good, I'll get one of my men to attend to it.
54:30Get one of your what?
54:31Well, well, well two of my men then!
54:33Carry on!
54:39Over there. Sir?
54:42What's this child doing here before visiting hours?
54:44Well you see sir--
54:45Well, well, well--
54:46If you please sir,
54:47the Major's helping me to find my father sir.
54:49The Major?
54:51To her sir.
54:52You see we're old friends sir.
54:54I knew her father, Captain Crew,
54:56who's reported killed at Mafeking.
54:58The child's sure there's some mistake
54:59so I'm helping her search among the wounded.
55:01Could you tell me anything about my father, sir?
55:05Sorry my dear, I can't.
55:09Carry on Major!
55:11Yes sir.
55:12Thank you sir.
55:29This little girl's father's been killed
55:30but she insists he's alive.
55:31So I'm letting her look around.
55:44We'll try another ward.
55:55(men chattering)
55:58Hello Bertie!
55:59- [Man] There's old Bertie.
56:02Give us a song mate.
56:03Attention men.
56:04Attention!
56:06Official inspection.
56:11He isn't here either.
56:13But someone might know about him.
56:18If you please sir, were you at the siege of Mafeking?
56:21I was that darling.
56:22It's where I picked up the bug.
56:24Twas no bigger than the seed of a thistle down
56:26that laid me low.
56:27Ah the bugs down there are worse than the bullets.
56:29Then perhaps you didn't know my father.
56:32Afraid that I wouldn't of know my own father
56:34with the fever that was on me.
56:36Thank you sir.
56:38It's alright darling.
56:47Hello.
56:51If you please sir, were you with the troops at Mafeking?
56:54Yes, yes of course I was.
56:56That's where I ran away you know.
56:58Then did you know my father, Captain Crewe?
57:01Yes, yes of course.
57:03That's a fine looking officer, isn't he?
57:05He ought to do well.
57:06But where did you see my father last?
57:08Where is he now?
57:10Where's who?
57:11My father.
57:12One soldier more or less
57:13doesn't make any difference you know.
57:15I'm making thousands and thousands for England.
57:17See?
57:18Fine, strong fellows.
57:20Who won't be afraid as I was.
57:22I was afraid of the noise.
57:24That's why I ran away you know.
57:32He said he knows my father, but he won't tell.
57:35He's living in a dream Sara,
57:36he doesn't know what he's saying.
57:37Come.
57:40Come on lad, give us a song.
57:41Yes, give us a song Bertie.
57:43How about it dear?
57:45Shall we sing them a song to cheer them up?
57:46Our old specialty.
57:47Not today Mr. Bertie.
57:49Oh come on darling.
57:50Let's try and forget our own troubles
57:51and do something for these lads, shall we?
57:52Alright, I'll try.
57:54Oh you darling.
57:55What about The Old Kent Road?
57:57That's the one.
57:57Mackey'll play for you.
57:58Ah, be good at it Mack.

59:12Mr. Bertie, will it be alright if I come again tomorrow.
59:15I shouldn't run away too often princess,
59:17you might get punished you know.
59:18I'll keep a sharp lookout whenever the wounded come in.
59:21You don't really believe he'll ever come, do you?
59:24Yes, yes of course I do.
59:26I told you missing men often turn up.
59:28Then I'd better come.
59:30You might not know him if he were very much changed.
59:32Alright dear, you come.
59:35Goodbye Mr. Bertie.
59:36Goodbye dear.
59:44Are ya hungry?
59:46Here.
59:50Poor little things.
59:51There won't be any worms for you this morning.
59:54(parrot squawks)
59:57Good morning little Misses Sara.
59:59Good morning Ram Dass.
1:00:00Feeding your little friends?
1:00:02Yes, but I couldn't save them very much
1:00:04from my supper last night.
1:00:06Oh it is difficult for them when the snow comes.
1:00:09(parrot squawks)
1:00:11Rani, Rani!
1:00:13Oh Rani.
1:00:15Rani, you look as though you know you were being naughty
1:00:17and enjoying it. (giggles)
1:00:20Rani, for shame.
1:00:21Here she is on the bookshelves.
1:00:24Bookshelves?
1:00:25Oh I forgot.
1:00:26I pretend they're bookshelves filled will beautiful books.
1:00:29Then I'd better remove her
1:00:30before she ruins your set of Dickens.
1:00:32(both laughing)
1:00:33Rani!
1:00:37This is your...
1:00:39Your room Misses Sara?
1:00:41Yes.
1:00:42It's so little and so high above everything,
1:00:44that it's almost like a nest in a tree.
1:00:46I can lay on my soft sofa and look up in the sky
1:00:50through that little window on the roof.
1:00:53Sofa?
1:00:54It looks more like a soft sofa when it's made up.
1:00:57And you imagine it has down quilts
1:00:59and lovely cushions to curl up on.
1:01:05There is a fire sometimes, of course.
1:01:07Well, that is the hardest of all to imagine.
1:01:10Especially at night.
1:01:12But it's lovely when you can.
1:01:14The grate shines so when it's polished
1:01:15and the nice bright coal scuttle on the hearth.
1:01:20Oh hurry miss, the cook wants you
1:01:21and she's in an awful stew.
1:01:23Oh my goodness.
1:01:24Excuse me if I run.
1:01:25I've gotta go to the butcher's.
1:01:27I'll get my ears boxed if I don't hurry.
1:01:28Yes Misses Sara.
1:01:44Listen to this.
1:01:46Hospital ship Nursty arrives.
1:01:481,200 wounded, disembarked.
1:01:52- [Cook] Does it give any of the names?
1:01:53- [Minnie] There ain't no list.
1:01:54Oh I hope my poor Harry's among 'em.
1:01:57- [Cook] A wounded husband is better than no husband at all,
1:02:00eh miss?
1:02:00(laughing)
1:02:03Oh Becky, I've got to get to the hospital
1:02:05before nine o'clock when they close to visitors.
1:02:07Somehow I've got to.
1:02:09Yes miss.
1:02:11(bowl shatters)
1:02:12(exclaims)
1:02:14You clumsy ox.
1:02:16For that you'll whistle for your supper.
1:02:18Oh ma'am, she ain't had no lunch.
1:02:21Everything's away afore she got back from the grocer's.
1:02:24Who do you think you're talking to?
1:02:26You'll both go hungry.
1:02:27Now clean up this mess.
1:02:29Go on, get on with it.
1:02:35Some sorry cases in this batch, Doctor.
1:02:37Yes, poor devils.
1:02:41Hello Doctor.
1:02:42Doctor, this man is an unknown.
1:02:43His papers were lost.
1:02:44Delirium following malarial fever.
1:02:46We're very much concerned about him sir.
1:02:48Anemia, heart action, weak respiration low.
1:02:50That's to be expected.
1:02:51But his mind doesn't clear sir.
1:02:53He has no lucid moments.
1:02:54Hmm, temporary paralysis of some nerve center.
1:02:57Or a blood clot possibly.
1:02:59More likely to be the later sir.
1:03:00He received a nasty head wound.
1:03:01Sara.
1:03:03Sara.
1:03:04He repeatedly calls for this person Sara.
1:03:07We can't learn who this Sara is?
1:03:08No way of finding out sir.
1:03:10'Til his identity is established.
1:03:12Sara.
1:03:14Sara.
1:03:27You'd better go now miss.
1:03:28I'll finish up for ya.
1:03:30Thank you Becky.
1:03:31I'll have to fly.
1:03:32Yes miss.
1:03:37You hold your horses, where do you think you're going?
1:03:39Well I, I, I.
1:03:40Ms. Lavinia wants some coal for her fire.
1:03:42Off to it.
1:03:48Oh Sara!
1:03:49You look so tired.
1:03:51And you look hungry too.
1:03:53Are you actually hungry Sara?
1:03:56Yes, I am hungry.
1:03:58I'm so hungry I could eat you!
1:04:13Put on plenty.
1:04:14My father pays for it.
1:04:20Just a moment.
1:04:22Our princess seems to be in a hurry.
1:04:24Could it be that she's going to a ball?
1:04:27Come back here and clean up that hearth!
1:04:39I'd like my shawl.
1:04:40The pink one.
1:04:41It's on my bed.
1:04:46Cover me please.
1:04:48I find the room a bit chilly.
1:04:58(clock chiming)
1:05:27- [Man] Goodnight sir.
1:05:28Goodnight. Goodnight.
1:05:37Hello princess.
1:05:38What are you doing out so late?
1:05:39I've come to see the new soldiers that got here today.
1:05:41Not tonight my girl, it's closing time.
1:05:43But I've got to.
1:05:44I ran away especially.
1:05:46Now then young'n, take it easy.
1:05:47Please let me in.
1:05:48I'm sure he's here this time.
1:05:50You're sure every time princess.
1:05:52I'm sorry.
1:05:53You run on home and come back tomorrow morning.
1:05:55That's a good little girl.
1:05:56Alright goodnight now.
1:06:23He will recover from the effects of the fever,
1:06:25but I'm convinced there is brain pressure.
1:06:28You advise an operation then?
1:06:29Yes, do you agree?
1:06:30I do.
1:06:31And Dr. MacNesh in Edinborough is the man.
1:06:33Yes, splendid, splendid.
1:06:34List this man for removal to Edinborough in the morning.
1:06:36Yes Doctor.
1:06:38Sara.
1:06:40Sara.
1:06:58Sara.
1:07:01Where have you been?
1:07:03Answer me.
1:07:05You've been out, haven't you?
1:07:06Yes Miss Minchin.
1:07:07What do you mean by disobeying my orders?
1:07:09I had to, I had to look for my father.
1:07:12This ridiculous search for your father,
1:07:14all this making believe and refusing to face facts,
1:07:17it's, it's indecent.
1:07:18I've had enough of it.
1:07:20You must realize once and for all that your father is dead.
1:07:22Don't you say that.
1:07:23He's not dead.
1:07:24He's not.
1:07:25And you can't stop me from looking for him either.
1:07:28How dare you speak to me in that manner,
1:07:29you impudent little.
1:07:36I'll attend to you further in the morning.
1:07:45I can't be a good soldier much longer.
1:07:47I'm cold and I'm hungry too.
1:07:50Do you hear?
1:07:52No, you don't hear.
1:07:53You don't hear and you don't care.
1:07:55You're nothing but a doll.
1:07:56A doll.
1:07:58You never had a heart to make you feel.
1:08:00You're just a doll.

1:15:26(knocking at window)
1:15:29I don't wanna wake up.
1:15:43I haven't waked up.
1:16:05I must be dreaming.
1:16:12I am dreaming.
1:16:17I must be dreaming.
1:16:19But it feels warm.
1:16:22Becky!
1:16:23Becky come quick.
1:16:25Becky!
1:16:26Becky!
1:16:28- [Becky] Yes miss.
1:16:29Oh Becky, look.
1:16:33Oh law miss.
1:16:35Do you see what I do?
1:16:37I don't know what you see, but I don't think I believe
1:16:39what I'm seeing.
1:16:40Well I never.
1:16:42Do you feel that?
1:16:44Yes miss.
1:16:45What do you see?
1:16:46What I see is a fire miss.
1:16:48And a table with food on it?
1:16:50And a rug and a lamp and slippers.
1:16:52I do indeed miss.
1:16:55How did it all get here?
1:16:57Did you pretend it into happening?
1:16:59I don't know.
1:17:00I never pretended as good as this before.
1:17:04Look at these.
1:17:10If the little misses Sara knew,
1:17:12she would be over here to thank you.
1:17:13Don't want her to know.
1:17:15Who wants any thanks.
1:17:18Oh miss, you're beautiful.
1:17:20Thank you Becky.
1:17:21Now let's try this one on you.
1:17:24(girls laughing)
1:17:27Isn't it beautiful?
1:17:28Oh yes miss.
1:17:29It's perfect.
1:17:30And real satin too.
1:17:32Um hmm.
1:17:33Let's try the slippers and see if they're real.
1:17:36Do they feel like slippers to you?
1:17:38They feel soft and warm.
1:17:41This feels soft and warm too.
1:17:43They're as real as we are.
1:17:45I don't believe it's a dream after all.
1:17:50Do you suppose the food is real miss?
1:17:53Let's see!
1:17:57I can smell peppers, can you?
1:18:01Kippers as I live.
1:18:03I wonder what this is.
1:18:04Muffins!
1:18:06This tastes like a muffin.
1:18:08Is it one?
1:18:10A muffin as ever was.
1:18:13It must be the magic miss.
1:18:15Hadn't we'd better be quick before it melts away?
1:18:18Yes.
1:18:22What sort of a night did he pass?
1:18:23He rested comfortably Doctor.
1:18:25Will we be able to send him with the others?
1:18:27Oh yes, he'll stand the journey alright.
1:18:29Get him ready to be sent for the group D.
1:18:31They'll be leaving in about an hour.
1:18:33Very well Doctor.
1:18:47I hear you're being punished.
1:18:51Do you think we ought to offer her a chocolate?
1:18:53You might let her smell them.
1:18:55Miss Minchin surely couldn't object to that.
1:18:58Would you care to?
1:18:59I don't want to smell them and I don't want to eat them,
1:19:01thank you.
1:19:03You don't!
1:19:04Why not?
1:19:05I've had much nicer things than chocolates this morning.
1:19:07(laughs) Listen to the princess.
1:19:09Pretending again.
1:19:11I'm not pretending.
1:19:12I had the most wonderful things to eat
1:19:14that anyone ever had.
1:19:17Why you little liar.
1:19:18You haven't even had breakfast.
1:19:20Pardon me, but I really have.
1:19:22And if you'll excuse me for saying so,
1:19:24it isn't polite to call people liars.
1:19:26How dare you talk back to me.
1:19:29Was I doing that?
1:19:31My goodness!
1:19:32(girls screaming)
1:19:34So sorry.
1:19:38You wait 'til I tell Miss Minchin on you.
1:19:41(screaming)
1:19:46Well everything's still here Becky.
1:19:48Yes miss.
1:19:50Thank heavens it stopped raining.
1:19:52Are you going someplace miss?
1:19:53To the hospital.
1:19:55Oh Becky, perhaps everything's going to change for us.
1:19:58Perhaps I'll find my father this time
1:19:59and he'll take us away from here.
1:20:03Oh law, it's the misses.
1:20:07Sara how dare you...
1:20:10What?
1:20:11Why what's happened to this room?
1:20:13That's what we would like to know.
1:20:15When I woke up this morning, here everything was.
1:20:18Even to the food and the fire.
1:20:20Where did you get these things?
1:20:22I don't know.
1:20:23Unless it's because I dreamed
1:20:25such a beautiful dream last night that it came true.
1:20:27But these articles are rare and costly.
1:20:30You stole them, didn't you?
1:20:31Oh no, Miss Minchin.
1:20:33We didn't take these things.
1:20:34I'll give you one more chance to tell me the truth.
1:20:36But I am telling you the truth.
1:20:38They just came.
1:20:40They did indeed ma'am.
1:20:41You to go your room.
1:20:42This is a matter for the police.
1:20:44Oh please Miss Minchin.
1:20:45Please don't call the police.
1:20:46Of course I'll call them.
1:20:47Oh Miss Minchin!
1:20:57Shh.
1:20:59We're prisoner's now, sure enough miss.
1:21:01And the police coming too.
1:21:02I can't be arrested.
1:21:04Those new wounded men are at the hospital
1:21:05and I've got to get there.
1:21:07I don't see how you can miss.
1:21:09And us locked in.
1:21:10Come on Becky.
1:21:11Quick.
1:21:12- [Becky] Where we going miss?
1:21:13Follow me.
1:21:16Oh I'm frightened miss.
1:21:18I'm frightened too this time Becky.
1:21:20Come on, give me your hand.
1:21:25Oh law miss.
1:21:27Don't be afraid Becky.
1:21:38Ah what game is this little Misses Sara?
1:21:41May we please go through your house?
1:21:42We're running away from the police.
1:21:44And a very nice game too.
1:21:46Will you enter?
1:21:47We'd like to very much indeed.
1:21:57You seem in great haste Misses Sara.
1:21:59Could you not stop for a cup of tea.
1:22:01Oh thank you.
1:22:02We're in too big a hurry.
1:22:03I see, still playing the game with the police.
1:22:06I hope you escape them safely Misses Sara.
1:22:08So do I.
1:22:09Oh law miss!
1:22:10Police.
1:22:11There they are!
1:22:12Stop them.
1:22:13Oh Becky, run, run!
1:22:17- [Miss Minchin] Sara, Becky.
1:22:19Stop where you are.
1:22:21Becky, Sara!
1:22:22Go after the other one, I'll take care of her.
1:22:25Come here to me.
1:22:26Watch out Becky, don't slip.
1:22:28Becky, where are you?
1:22:49Wretched little thief.
1:22:50You'll go to jail for this, both of you.
1:22:51You'll never catch her.
1:22:53Mr. Bertie'll see to that.
1:22:54So that's where she's gone?
1:22:56Oh did you find them ma'am?
1:22:57Take this little thief
1:22:58and don't let her out of your sight 'til I return.
1:23:00Did you catch her?
1:23:02She dodged away in the traffic ma'am.
1:23:03I couldn't find her anywhere.
1:23:04Do you know where she's likely to be?
1:23:05I do.
1:23:06Cabby! Whoa.
1:23:14Harvard Hospital, and hurry please.
1:23:19Sara.
1:23:22Sara.
1:23:23He never stops calling for her.
1:23:42Step aside a little bit will ya?
1:23:43Thanks.
1:23:44Ah, ah, ah, ah.
1:23:45You can't do in there.
1:23:46No visitors allowed for an hour.
1:23:48That might be too late.
1:23:50Now run along little girl, will you?
1:23:52There's a good little girl.
1:23:57I'm sorry sir, no visitors allowed for an hour.
1:24:00But we must go in.
1:24:01I'm sorry sir, you can stand over there,
1:24:03if that's alright.
1:24:14Have you seen Captain Moss?
1:24:15I believe he just went through the hall nurse.
1:24:18Sorry young'n, you can't go upstairs now.
1:24:20I've got to.
1:24:21I've got to see if my father's here
1:24:22before Miss Minchin catches me.
1:24:23Now run along now.
1:24:24Do as you're told.
1:24:28Here, I say that come back here.
1:24:29You can't go up there.
1:24:30You're gonna get me in trouble.
1:24:31Hey, come back here.
1:24:33You can't go in there.
1:24:35You can't come in here.
1:24:36Come out.
1:24:37Let me go, let me go!
1:24:39I will see if he's here.
1:24:40I will, I will!
1:24:41- [Man] Orderly!
1:24:45What is it the child wants?
1:24:49Please, please don't let him take me away.
1:24:52What is it child?
1:24:54My father.
1:24:55They said he was killed at Mafeking.
1:24:57But I don't believe it.
1:24:58He may be here with the new wounded men.
1:25:00They won't let me look.
1:25:02And if they don't, perhaps I'll never have another chance.
1:25:05Can't you make them let me look?
1:25:09Colonel, will you please see that this child
1:25:12is escorted through the wards?
1:25:15With permission I shall accompany her personally,
1:25:18Your Majesty.
1:25:22What is your name?
1:25:24Victoria.
1:25:26What is yours?
1:25:29Sara.
1:25:31Oh Your Majesty.
1:25:39Colonel?
1:25:43I hope you will find your father, my dear.
1:25:46A thorough search, Colonel.
1:25:50Oh thank you, Your Majesty.
1:25:52Goodbye my dear.
1:25:54Goodbye.
1:26:05Have you been through any of the wards yet?
1:26:06Not today sir.
1:26:09I think we'd better cover this wing first.
1:26:23We're searching for a patient.
1:26:24Yes sir.
1:26:26Go right along dear.
1:26:32Alright?
1:26:33Thank you darling.
1:26:42Ms. Rose!
1:26:44Sara, darling.
1:26:46Sara!
1:26:47Oh Mr. Goeffrey.
1:26:48You're home, you're back again.
1:26:50Now you can tell me where my daddy is.
1:26:53Well Goeffrey didn't get as far as Mafeking, dear.
1:26:57Then you don't know?
1:26:59You didn't even see him?
1:27:01No dear.
1:27:03I didn't.
1:27:06I'm sorry.
1:27:09Have you found him?
1:27:10Oh no sir.
1:27:12This is my friend, Mr. Goeffrey.
1:27:14And his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton.
1:27:16How do you do?
1:27:17I'm afraid I can't introduce you,
1:27:18because I don't know your name.
1:27:20(laughs) Colonel Gordon.
1:27:21This is Colonel Gordon.
1:27:23He's helping me to search the hospital.
1:27:24Don't bother.
1:27:25How do you do sir?
1:27:26I'm very happy to know you both.
1:27:28From Mafeking?
1:27:30No sir.
1:27:31An army mule, and a British mule at that.
1:27:33(laughing)
1:27:34That's adding insult to injury.
1:27:37Sorry sir, it's time for the patient's drops.
1:27:38Oh I'd rather face that mule.
1:27:42I'll come back later Ms. Rose,
1:27:43just as soon as I've gone through the other wards.
1:27:46I'll wait for you dear.
1:27:48Well goodbye.
1:27:49Goodbye.
1:27:49Goodbye sir. Goodbye.
1:27:50Be sure to come back Sara.
1:27:51I will.
1:27:57Poor little thing.
1:27:58She'll never stop hoping.
1:28:01I insist that you send for my brother.
1:28:03Very well ma'am, but you can't get in,
1:28:05brother or no brother.
1:28:09We will get in, my brother will see to that.
1:28:12I hope you're right ma'am.
1:28:23All filled now.
1:28:25This man'll have to wait for the next ambulance.
1:28:26Alright.
1:28:29I think you'd better take him into the waiting room.
1:28:30These halls are much too drafty.
1:28:32I think I'd better.
1:28:40I'm very sorry you couldn't find your father.
1:28:42Thank you just the same sir.
1:28:44He may be on the next convoy of wounded.
1:28:46I wouldn't give up hope.
1:28:47I won't sir.
1:28:48Goodbye, God bless.
1:28:50Goodbye.
1:28:54- [Miss Minchin] I know that they were stolen.
1:28:55Sara steal? Preposterous.
1:28:57I have proof
1:28:58and I intend to turn her over to the authorities.
1:29:00She's in this hospital and I intend to find her.
1:29:02Now look here--
1:29:03- [Miss Minchin] I insist that every room be searched.
1:29:23- [Captain] Sara.
1:29:28Sara.
1:29:34Daddy?
1:29:35Sara.
1:29:37Daddy!
1:29:38Oh Daddy!
1:29:39It is you.
1:29:40I found you, I found you.
1:29:42They said you were dead, but I knew you weren't.
1:29:44I knew you'd come back.
1:29:46Oh Daddy.
1:29:47Hold me, hold me close.
1:29:50You won't ever go away again, will you?
1:29:52Will you Daddy?
1:29:55What's the matter Daddy?
1:29:57Why don't you talk to me?
1:29:58Sara.
1:29:59Don't you know me Daddy?
1:30:01I'm Sara.
1:30:02I'm Sara.
1:30:03Sara.
1:30:04Where is my daughter?
1:30:06Oh Daddy, something's happened to you.
1:30:09Mr. Bertie!
1:30:10Mr. Bertie!
1:30:12Oh Daddy you've got to know me.
1:30:13Look at me, look at me.
1:30:15(sobbing)
1:30:17Oh Daddy!
1:30:21You mustn't cry.
1:30:24You mustn't cry.
1:30:26We must be good soldiers, you know.
1:30:29But I have been a good soldier Daddy.
1:30:31And you don't know me!
1:30:33My little Sara never cries.
1:30:36But I'm Sara, I'm Sara!
1:30:45Yes.
1:30:46Yes.
1:30:47Sara.
1:30:49Sara!
1:30:51My baby. Oh Daddy!
1:30:53You do know me. Oh my darling.
1:30:54Sara my darling.
1:30:55You know me. My baby Sara.
1:30:59Sara.
1:31:02Oh Daddy. Oh Sara my darling.
1:31:04Oh don't be ridiculous Amanda.
1:31:06Then how do you account for those silk coverlets,
1:31:07those robes and other things that are there?
1:31:09Perhaps a little bird brought them in.
1:31:11Perhaps they grew legs and walked in.
1:31:12I don't know.
1:31:14All I do know is that little Sara wouldn't steal.
1:31:15Bertie! Yes?
1:31:16Bertie what do you think has happened?
1:31:18The little princess has found her father.
1:31:19She's found him!
1:31:21Captain Crewe is alive?
1:31:22Of course he's alive!
1:31:23How could she find him if he wasn't alive?
1:31:28Oh Mr. Bertie, I found my father.
1:31:31Darling, I'm so glad.
1:31:33("God Save the Queen")
1:31:36It's Her Majesty.
1:31:49My daddy.
