NAUGHTY ARLETTE AKA THE ROMANTIC AGE

Subtitles by Seglora

Back to the nursery

Hunger and misery

Peace and austerity

Oh what a night

It's nice to see you again ladies back

Thank you Withers,just to be back, holidays are too jolly short

They just fly

Surely you have or you will be late for the assembly

He's right,better drop balance and bail out our boats

It's all right,Withers,she's crazy on boats

Boats and boys without you

You bet without you and with me

New girls,report to my room,please

I say,did you managed to bring home what I wanted from Paris?

I'm terribly sorry,Daddy run out of Francs on Easter Monday

Had to flog petrol coupons

I've got lots to tell you

"Mens sana in corpore sano"

Sound mind in a sound body

Talking to yourself,it's the first time going potty

Wait till you see his picture,he has a cute little cutter

A what?

Cutter,a sailboat with two sails,stupid

I thought you meant Miss Darsham

Well,come along

Au revoir,Norah,half term won't be long,you know

-Good bye,darling -Good bye

Sheila Jones is a very sweet girl

Just one thing more,Matron,I'm very anxious about Joan catching so many colds

That's all right,Mrs Wheeler, I'll se that she doesn't

and now if you please

You must insist her to continue to wear her warm underwear

spring can be very treacherous,you know

Suffering cats

What did you say dear?

I say,Patricia,we can't stop now,got to see Matron

-Have you seen this? -What

-About new teacher -What about it?

It's a him

Him? You don't think to say a Masters is coming to Littleton

Not coming.According to this,he is here

Miss Emilia Lightfoot having resigned

Literature and Art will now be taken by Mr Arnold Dickson

Doctor of Literature,Bachelor of Arts

Do you think he is a Bachelor too or only of Arts?

Isn't it funny

He's probably as dull as ditch water

The only men they ever allow in this place, have warts on their noses and bald heads

They say that Masters are much more severe

Not.My sister who is at Wallingham says they are much nicer

And you can do as you like

That's depends upon what you like to do

I wonder how old he is?

What does it meant there would be to you. They are all the same

Some squeak,some growl,some low

But at heart

They are all very small boys

She should know

All girls in the assembly hall

I suppose that where we would hear it

Arlette Tesserau,think of that hat

Sit down,girls

I hope you all enjoyed your Easter Holidays

and benefited by them

and that you are now ready to put the maximum effort

into your works and games this term

I've asked you to come here this afternoon for a special reason

although the Summer term has not started officially until tomorrow morning

Miss Lightfoot,as you know

resigned at the end of last term to take up a position abroad

And as Littleton is a modern, and I hope a progressive finishing school

We decided,as those of you who have looked at the notice board

will have seen already, to introduce a Master here in Miss Lightfoot's place

To teach Literature and History of Art

We have been exceedingly fortunate

in securing the services of a very distinguished scholar

who is well known as the author of several books on the old Masters

Those of you who studied Italian art last term

should certainly know his book about Botticelli

I sincerely hope that everyone of you

will take the fullest advantage of his teaching

and accord him your wholehearted co-operation

Mr Arnold Dickson

Ladies and Gen..

I'm sorry

Young ladies I don't propose to make a speech

I only want to thank you for the welcome that you have given me

It's going to be a new experience for me to teach girls

just as it is going to be a new experience for you

-A bit pocket -A bit pompous

But be that as it may

I see no reasons why we should not get on very well together

Nor do I,sweetie pie

What a pity,he is not a chef, that's what needed here

I hope you enjoy the subjects

the lives and works of the great painters and poets and authors

If changed the whole life would

Is a profoundly absorbing studies

I can only say in conclusion, that I'm looking forward to my work here

and I wish you all a happy and successful term

He would be better without glasses

But half of me is sleeping

You,you love him already,you

Oh,yes,you'll see

He is my father

-Good Afternoon -Good Afternoon

-Hello,Mummy -Hello,Helen,Darling

I see my rival for your affections turned up

No damage I hope

Other than a scratch on the back leg

But the men swear they didn't do it

Oh,who aren't doing that,there are some inches of scratches, which are new one,Mummy

That's for the Lady want to know

Oh dear,I do hope you two aren't(inaudible)

But,dear,I'm still unpacking

Mummy,it's a lovely school,you should have heard the way the girls clapped Daddy

And so they should

Julie,dear,go and put the potatoes on,will you?

Right away

And Julie,while you are there

open a tin of baked beans there, if you could find the tin opener

Righto

Righto,righto

Say very well anything you like but not righto

Sounds like a butcher boy

OK

OK.All comes from see too many films

Do you want the plinth in here,Madam?

Yes,that'll be all right

How did it go?

Oh,all right.Miss Hallam introduced me and I did a few words for them

Short and I hope to the point and they applauded politely

And you were scared stiff

Absolutely petrified

Here is my chair

This is a nice little place

I think I can be happy here

I,the same thing,I have it already

Thank you,darling

A week the old lady been out for fair weather

and now with summer on the way she has to go inside

Will you hung it up for me,Daddy, somewhere near the front door?

Yes,later on,after dinner

You would have laughed,Mummy

if you heard the girls remarks,when we saw Daddy's name on the notice board

Wondering whether he was going to be liked

Now they know

The girl next to me at assembly said that he did better without glasses

What impudence without my glasses,Julie

You know I think I agree with her

I've said it more than once

What else did she say?

Nothing.Oh, something about you being half a sleep,I don't know what she meant

Anyway I'm telling tales out of school

Arnold.Do you think this is the best way for the piano?

Yes I should think so.There is no room anywhere else,is there?

Do play something,Mummy

Oh darling,I am much too tired

Besides my hands are absolutely filthy

How many pupils are you going to have in Littleton?

Miss Hallam said I could take three, the most advanced of course

I might be able to get some more on a condition basis

You want to save a set?

Sit next to me

There is already someone sitting next to you

Will you please move up there?

But I sat here last term

Now please don't move for me, I'm only a new girl

Won't you for Mr Dickson's stool pigeon?

I hope you don't mind

Please don't make difficulty because of my father

It's all right ,you won't be

What is Arlette doing sitting with this new girl?

She's the old boy's daughter

I always thought something could(inaudible)this

-Good Morning -Good Morning

Sit down please

Now I have here a list with all your names

I think the best way for me to get to know you

is for you to tell me your names,when you answer my questions

I understand from Miss Hallam

your are accustomed to being called by your christian names

As I have been teaching boys recently

I shall find that rather difficult to remember first

One thing I should like to make quite clear

I expect you to keep order and discipline in class

not make me have to enforce it

And I hope you won't take advantage of the fact that I can't use the same

discipline methods with use for members of the opposite sex

I'm sure if we understand each other from the beginning

we'll all get on very well

I like him

I believe that last term

you began to studying the lives of the early 19th century poets

So you will already realize how closely those lives

if not their actual work are related to each other

This term I propose to continue with Shelley

I wonder how old he is

Will you repeat that question,please

Now if any of you have any questions will you please stand up

First of all what is your name

Ivy Morris

I really wondered how old Shelley was

If you mean at the time of his death he was 29

My age is quite irrelevant

You all studied Leigh Hunt last term

so you should recall the tragic circumstances of Shelley's untimely death

He was returning home..

Was it when Shelley crossed the bay in an open sailing boat

at 2' 10" bow topsail rig to welcome Leigh Hunt to Italy?

Yes but to be more precise

it was after he had a week's visit with Leigh Hunt in Pisa

He and his friend Williams were sailing home across the bay

and they were never seen alive again

Byron named the boat Don Juan

Don Juan,hm,hm

What's your name?

Arlette Tesserau

T-E-S-S-E-R-A-U

Stand up when you speak to me,please

-You're French? -Oui,Monsieur

In my study at the end of the corridor

you'll find a pile of Shelley books, go and get them for me,will you

You expect me to fetch your books for you?

I thought that gentlemen fetch things for a lady,not the other way about

No,the pupil fetches things for her Master

Hurry up

Come in

I checked all the health certificates, they are in order

Thank you,Miss Sankey

Isn't Mrs Dickson a beautiful pianist?

I wonder how Mr Dickson is getting on with his first lesson

No doubt most constructive for all concerned

What are you implying,Miss Sankey?

I don't think it is right

that a man should be thrown in amongst a lot of young girls

Thrown in,am I to believe you feel there is something immoral about it?

I admit I had my misgivings about the experiment,Miss Hallam

In the past whenever a visiting Master is come to the school

a chaperone has always been present at the lessons

In the case of a Music Master giving a private lesson,yes

but Mr Dickson position is quite different

and I want the girls to learn to accept him

as a resident member of the staff,one of ourselves

Who will,so to speak,sharing their daily life and interests

It's up to you,of course Miss Hallam, but isn't he rather young?

Come,come,Sankey,however susceptible schoolgirls may be

Mr Dickson is a serious and studious married man

with his own daughter in the school

Married,yes,but what kind of a woman

an ex professional pianist

who dresses more like a filmmaker's than a school teacher's wife

I'm sure your fears are quite unfounded

I sincerely hope so,we shall see

Shelley was a great reformer

he was passionately resolved to try improve the existing conditions of mankind

Perhaps no poet has ever fired with such genuine inspiration

Leigh Hunt once described him as..

Sir,which is Leigh Hunt's most famous poem?

I suppose one of the best known

you'll find in most of the anthologies is called "Jenny kiss'd Me"

What's your name?

Jenny

Born in 1792 when the French revolution was at its height

he grew up at a time when the Prince Regent was..

What's your name?

All right,you may swallow first

Now tell me your name

Bessie Spendlow

This isn't a cafeteria

I know

Haven't you had any breakfast?

Yes,but I never get enough to eat

As our time is nearly out,you'll be able to finish your meal outside

I hope our next lesson will be less interrupted

The preparation I suggest you write a summary of all I said this morning

All I have said that is the subject of Shelley

Arlette

I didn't give you permission to go

The bell is rung

Yes I know I heard it

Sit down,please

Thank you,you may go now

Arlette

I'm sorry

I thought you said your father was always in a good temper

He's really terribly kind and sweet

It is just in school he insists on discipline

And out of school?

You would love him,really you would

But I think he hates me

Rubbish.You must come to our house one day and see him properly

Properly? Oh,no

But you must come to my house one Sunday,next Sunday?

Yes

-We are friends -Of course

Good

There is one girl,a french girl

This is to be handled rather carefully

She was a boy the remedy be obvious and simple

A good sound spanking

She is conceited and spoiled

Ultra sophisticated,or try to be

All together,a rather disturbing influence

On the class I mean

-What's her name? -Arlette

Arlette Tesserau

She has been very kind to me

I was talking to your mother

Yes I know,I didn't mean to interrupt but

Arlette is really a rather nice girl, and she is from Paris

That's no excuse for being impertinent

I don't think she is the kind of a girl I like you to be friends with

Do you mean you don't want me even to speak to her?

No I didn't say that

I just said that I didn't want you to make a close friend with her

It would be rather interesting to know what this Arlette thinks about you

I think he is an insufferable vain, spoilt stupid boring,badly dressed

and that mustache,those glasses, nobody would think he is wonderful

because he is can never attract another girl

but he'll see,I'll show him

I'll back him against you any time

Then you would lose

I'll put my money on Arlette,there is no holding once she gets under way

Is there Arlette?

I have never seen it

Our Arnold is a tougher proposition

than any pimpley schoolboy who would fall for anything

I don't waste my talent on pimpley schoolboys,as you call them

And I can see that Monsieur Dickson

though he doesn't know it,is just the real vignette of romantic age

She has got something there

Middle age.When a man stops trying to dodge temptations

and starts checking up if he is missed any

I always been told that the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach

Bessie,don't you ever think of anything but food

I could easily twist him around my little finger,if I wanted to

Then try it

Perhaps I will

In the meantime Mr Dickson is quite oblivious to your charm or your existence

He is not

Then if he isn't it is simply because he dislikes you intensely

And I dislike you intensely

I can assure you the feeling is mutual

And whatever have I done to you?

If you really want to know and I think you are just a..

Arlette wins by 5 points

Arlette Tesserau fences well, don't you think?

Not bad at all,her catch is better than her defense though

You are interested in fencing,Mr Dickson?

I used to be a long time ago

You criticize my defense?

But you can't contest it.Perhaps you can give me a hint or two

No I'm afraid

Or don't be afraid

No,no,I suppose I'm afraid my fencing days are over

All right,come on

I won't make it too difficult for you,Mr Dickson

En garde

I'm sorry about the interruption

Not at all

His fencing days are over

Who I got to thank for the flowers?

Can you stand up,please

So I see

Thank you very much

You can all sit down

Arlette

Yes,Mr Dickson

I am sorry,I forgot to stand up

That's all right,why are you late?

I found I had a ladder in my stocking so I went upstairs to change it

You seem singularly unlucky with ladders,don't you?

Find out about the book I want,in my room

you'll find a book called "Art in the Renaissance",go and get it for me,will you

With pleasure,Mr Dickson

To go along where we left off last time

Michelangelo was only 24 years old when he created

what is perhaps the most moving

the most spiritual overture and most beautiful of all his works

Pieta

Quiet

I am so sorry

I didn't know

Why did you bring it into the class in the first place?

Because when we break at 11 o'clock there is a talk on the home service

How to control your temper in trying circumstances

As I was saying..

There must be something wrong with the switch

Put that in my study at once

I wouldn't say she exerted a particularly good influence over the the other girls

She seems to resent discipline

Her mother died when Arlette was very small

she's been neglected and been very much on her own

She has probably being spoiled

She has and surrounded with material luxury

Her father is Jacques Tesserau

Oh,the art dealer

He has a large house in London but spends most of his time abroad

And Arlette has met the strangest Continentals

You see, Tesserau is an entirely self made man

He has this uncanny flair for antiques which has brought him a fortune

And he is clever enough

to want his daughter to acquire at least some of the education he lacks himself

I see

So Arlette is now handed on to us

And I feel we must do what we can do to help her

Try and make allowances for her,Mr Dickson

Of course,I'll do my very best

I'm sure you'll do,I'm sure she'll respond to you

and if she doesn’t improve

and you still think that I should have a talk with her,well I'll gladly do so

Thank you so much,Miss Hallam

I hope I shan't bother you again

-Nice day,Miss Euston -It is

All right,Mummy,I'll go

-Hello -Hello

Hello Patricia

How much have you managed to practice this week?

Only two hours a day,I'm afraid,Mrs Dickson

And one hour of that devoted to scales and exercises

There is awful pieces and exercises,how my hands ache

I know especially your little fingers

I think we have some tea before we get started

Thank you

Hi,Pat I have been invited to Arlette's house on Sunday,have you been asked?

No fear of that.We are as about friendly as a snake and a mongoose

I don't know really why she asked me

You are going to?

She lives in Mayfair,I looked up the street in the guide book

No I don't want particularly to go

especially after that awful radio business in class

I can't make her up,Pat

She is beastly to Daddy and she asks me to her party

If I refuse to go it might make things even more awkward for Daddy

I can see that

She might think you are taking side

I do think I ought to try defend each after Daddy's sake

Does he knows that she has asked you?

No I am not going to tell him

Ghee,what a place

Miss Arlette is expecting you, you come upstairs

How lovely to have a millionaire as a father

Is he a millionaire? A real one?

I do not know how real but you can't run a place like this on peanuts

This way please

It's a really lovely house

It reminds me of some place

I've got it, a lady's restroom in Radio Cinema

Hello,mes enfants,you are early, I haven't finished dressing yet

What will you drink?

Drink what you like

Let me see

Grand Marnier

I'd rather drink tea,Arlette, if you don't mind

Tea? How English.But for good. You are the Professor's daughter

Good Afternoon,Hedges is Monsieur Tesserau at home?

No,Sir,he is in Paris,we don't expect him back until tomorrow night

It doesn't matter I just want to collect a little Picasso

Yes,that little picture he left for you upstairs

Is Miss Arlette at home?

Just for the weekend,Sir

she is entertaining some of her school friends to tea

I write a note for Monsieur Tesserau

Don't bother Hedges,I know my way

Yes Sir

Are there your brothers?

Brothers? I have no brothers

These are all silly young men who think they are in love with me

They amuse me

Perhaps they really are in love with you

No.Then they would no longer be amusing

But your lips are terrible,you have no lipstick on,come here

I never use lipsticks

Then you must start.Sit still

You have nice lips,you know

Doesn't your father like red lips?

I don't know,he would like me

Perhaps he'll change his mind anyhow

Who knows?

Girls come over here

Watch.I'm turning this child into a woman

That's more akin to turn a row boat into a yacht

She will learn

First you must look different, people behave how they look

She looks jolly attractive anyway

Maybe it is inherited Arlette

Wonder why you said that

Now what do you think of yourself,Miss Dickson

I look like someone else

Yes

Dead Arlette you never was there..

La,la,la

Henri .And who said you could come in here?

You did my sweet I knocked and you said yes

or does your yes mean no

No

No so often means yes

Will you please give this to your father when you see him

Arlette.Won't you introduce me?

This is Henri Sinclair. A friend of my father

He is not to be trusted

Jenny Jill Virginia

Ivy Avice

Charmante

How is the baby?

Julie,she is my promised debutante

Her father is the new master

You have a master?

Exactly

The fellow has my deepest sympathy

Julie,what does this tune reminds you?

A very cross Daddy,he should laugh more your father

He is much too serious

But he is not only in school

But I have only seen him in school so far

Come Ivy let's dance

I am afraid I am not a very good dancer

I don't know any steps

It's only the first step which is a bit tricky the rest just a question of rhythm

Yes that's what my mother says

Your mother,she has taught you the importance of rhythm?

Oh,yes she is a marvelous pianist

Oh,I see

You like music?

I love all the arts,I'm a painter

Dad has written books about pictures and painters

His daughter would make a lovely portrait

I have a studio in Chelsea, would you come and sit for me?

I don't often come to London, only with Mummy on holidays

It's you I want to paint not your mummy

I am in the telephone book, my name is Henri Sinclair

Sinclair you know,S-I-N-C-L-A-I-R

Why are you so restless,darling?

I'm worried about Julie

She will be home in a moment

She would be home and in bed hours ago

Why? An evening out with the girls would do her good

Besides she is growing up,you know

Yes,but it is too late when she going to get up early in the morning

I think I hear them

All right I'll go

Hi,Julie

Hello,daddy

Please don't catch a cold

Hello,mummy

Enjoyed yourself,dear?

Yes,thanks,mummy,certainly a wonderful house

Whose house was it?

Arlette's

Or rather her father's

You didn't tell me she was going to the Tesserau

I said she was going to a party given of one of the girls

which is perfectly true

but you seem to have taken such an aversion to this Arlette

Aversion? You mean you think I am prejudiced

I knew she is difficult in school

You thought I was unreasonable

So you let Julie go without telling me

You don't know this girl,Helen, I do

She is not a proper friend for Julie

Daddy,now you are being unfair, which is not a bit like you

I'm not being unfair I'm only thinking what is good for you

What's all that stuff in your face?

Nothing only a little powder,we were just playing about with Arlette's makeup,Daddy

What's wrong with little make up anyway?

You are too young,that's all

What sort of a party was it?

I'm quite sure it was enough to it

I ask Julie

What sort of a party was this?

It was a disgusting orgy,of course

I've never met her like this before

I have a word with that Tesserau girl in the morning

I've never known you like this before

I suggest we forget the whole thing

I'm for bed

I leave you to lock up

Sorry we had a row

I'm sorry I went to Arlette's

I'll promise I wont go again

Friends again?

Better pals

Julie,what have you been drinking?

Cocktails

Cocktails?

Only two

I am not old fashioned

but I hate the thought of someone of your age coming home smelling of drink

It's not wrong but it..

Don't you think it is time Julie went to sleep,Arnold?

I think she is asleep

My daughter Julie

I believe you asked her to your home last night?

I'm afraid I must ask you not to do that again

I understand.Is that all?

Yes,that's all

Why do you hate me,Master

I don't hate you,I don't hate anyone

But you will not not even let Julie be my friend

Can't you see Julie is a lot younger than you are

If not in actual years in experience

That you think she is too young

to go out and drink cocktails when you make them?

Please,Arlette

I'm sorry,Mr Dickson

But yesterday,and then although I am very bad and very idle in my work

But it isn't all my fault

If I thought your work I was talking about it

The way you behave

Please be a little patient with me

Mr Dickson,I'll promise to be better in the future

I'm sure you will

I don't like having to talk to you like this

It will be the last time

You must please help me

You see I've been not very much at school

I was ill alone

I am sorry

Can we start again? From now?

All right,from now

I'm sorry

I'm so foolish and silly

Never foolish and silly to talk things over patiently

I think we will understand each other better from now on

You are very good

And kind,Monsieur

Can you file for me Patricia?

Thank you

On the whole I was very pleased with the essays

Particularly of those of Eileen and Jill

Where is Arlette Tesserau today. Late this morning?

She went home this weekend and didn't come back

I see,thank you

She wasn't well on Saturday morning

She told me it was owing to her heart,same sickness

I'm sorry to hear that

We got a lot of garn to cover this morning,so let us get on with it

One of the contemporaries of Michelangelo was Tizian

You are very good and kind,Monsieur

Very good and kind,Monsieur

He was taken to Venice by his father, where he studied under Giovanni Bellini

One of his fellow students there and his friend was Giorgione

And when Giorgione died in 1511 Tizian finished some of his pictures for him

Daddy

Daddy

Who is that speaking?

Oh,Mr Dickson

I am afraid that Miss Arlette is not well enough to come to the telephone

Is there any message?

Yes,Sir,I'll tell her

Mr Dickson was on the telephone

You did tell him I was ill?

Yes,Miss

What did he say?

He said he was sorry that you were not enjoying good health

and he wished you a speedy recovery

Hedges!

Yes,Miss

My father wonderfully,told to ring him there quickly? Quickly

I've something I want him to do for me

Quickly

Continental lines,please

I want to speak to Paris Passy 3721

Thank you

Btw Miss Hallam had a request from Arlette Tesserau's father

He is very anxious

she shan't behind of our work because she has to stay at home

What does he want?

He wants me to give her private tuition until she gets back to Littleton

He is very keen on her to get a fellow eduction in Art

The eduction I gather from Miss Hallam that he lacks himself

He probably wants her to help him in his art business when she leaves school

Yes,still I don't relish the idea

of going to London two or three evenings a week

There's an excellent train service

every half hour and a bus from here and 10 minutes to the station

I bet they are going to capering you, knowing Arlette

Yes,of course the money would be useful,wouldn't it?

It certainly would

Miss Arlette is waiting for you in her sitting room,Sir

Thank you,how is she this evening?

Much better now

Mr Arnold Dickson

Good Evening

Good Evening,Mr Dickson

I'm so sorry I can't stand up but I'm feeling so very weak

I'm sorry to hear that

Sit down,please

This must be an awful bother for you

but you see my father insisted

No bother at all

I shouldn't have told him how clever you are

and how much you have taught me already

No,I felt very guilty when you strained your heart fencing

must be that afternoon when we were..

Perhaps,you can never tell what will happen with the heart

No,I suppose not

Since you've been away we..

Thank you for phone message

I wanted to find out how you were

As I was saying

Since you've been away we got on to Leonardo da Vinci

And I think the best thing we can do this evening

is to try and catch up on as much as lost time as possible

I quite agree

And then next time I come we can get on with the poets

You know

Away from school you look so different

Different?

Not so stern much,much younger

Come on,please,you mustn't waste time

No,I don't want to waste time

but

but what?

Why do you wear those funny spectacles?

They are not even round ones

You would be quite good looking without them

I wear them because I need them

Do stop making personal remarks, we'll get on with our work,come on

Well,dear,any news?

No

Where are your glasses?

In my pocket

Put them on,straining your eyes

You know,I read an article the other day by an oculist

He said the more you use glasses, the more you need them

It strengthens the eyes to leave them off

What a funny idea

I do no want need glass I wouldn't bother I should have thought

Julie,you'd better hurry,time is getting on, and you too,Arnold

By jove,yes

Come on,Julie darling,let's go

-Bye,darling -Good Bye

Come in

Good Evening

Good Evening

Where are your glasses?

What?

I dropped them on the bathroom floor

most annoying,you can't get a new pair for months nowadays

In the mean time you cannot see anything?

I can see quite a bit really

Can you?

How are you this evening?

Not very well

in fact I do not think I can concentrate on the lesson at all

I am sorry to hear that,well I needn't have come,really then

-Cigarette? -No,I only smoke a pipe at home

I think pipes are so unpractical

It's funny you Englishmen are so prosaic

and yet you can have such great poets like Shelley

I love Shelley,I've been reading him preparing for a lesson,you know

That's good

Before you go can you read the best of his poems?

You read so well,and when I read it to myself

I cannot always understand him

And I shall really see if you can read it without your spectacles

"The fountains mingle with the river And the rivers with the Ocean,

The winds of Heaven mix for ever With a sweet emotion;

Nothing in the world is single; All things by a law divine

in one spirit meet and mingle.

Why not I with thine?"

Yes that was published by Leigh Hunt in 1819

But there is one more verse, I will read it to you

And you can correct my English,will you?

"See the mountains kiss high Heaven And the waves clasp one another

No sister-flower would be forgiven If it disdained its brother;

And the sunlight clasps the earth And the moonbeams kiss the sea:

What is all this kissing's worth If thou kiss not me?"

Yes,you read very well

If we are not going to have this lesson

I think I had better going I can catch an earlier train

I mustn't tire you if you are not feeling well

I will see you to the door

Don't bother,please

Arlette?

You are all right?

What happened?

Should I get you a doctor?

No,I shall be quite all right in a moment

Please stay with me a few minutes

Of course I will

I want to come back to school very soon

I am so much lonely here

-Hello,Arlette -Hello

We like to hear all about it and all the low down about the private lessons

Was it busy private with the chucked spectacles?

Did you have a hand in that?

Of course,and it is only the first thing he is going to throw all aboard

It is nice to see you back again,Arlette

I'm glad to be back ,Julie

I've missed so much,haven't I, Mr Dickson?

No,I don't think you missed very much

See you in class,Arlette

You're really better?

Thank you,I feel wonderful now

You look wonderful

And you,Mr Dickson,you look very smart

if you will forgive me a personal remark this time

My publishers attested another book of mine

I thought I deserved a new suit

I am glad,and I'm sure you earned it

You work so hard and so seriously

Are you taking time off to come to Patricia’s hunt this afternoon?

It is such a lovely day

Yes I promised Miss Hallam I'll try get along

But surely you are not going for hunting?

Very strenuous,you know

I know not if you find that you share in the end

I will be late for class

Lovely day

Makes one feel quite young again

None the less time marks you inexorable on

Come on girls,move on

All are back now except Arlette, Virginia,Bridget and Jenny

Maureen coming I think

I'll see if I can find them

Where is Mr Dickson going?

Gone to look for Miss Tesserau I expect

And you better go with him

Arlette is on her way back, she is with Jenny

Well if she is with Jenny,that is all right

Arlette

Arlette

Arlette

-At last -All right

I lost my shoe and sprained my ankle

You must be wet through

Not so much, I found this hut

And I found you

Mr Dickson,I am so glad you come

I could never have got back

We ought to start back at once

But I cannot walk

You will have to carry me

All right,put this on

Dear,I hope they are not ruined

Just look at these shoes,I think they could be written off as dead loss

I hope you don't play Sir Galahad too often

Comes expensive

It's not my fault the wretched girl got stranded,is it?

All right,didn't even smack my head off

What a pleasant perfume

I told you I had to carry her back to the coach

I'll go and get these pressed

You need not so horribly guilty,dear

Darling,don't clean those shoes all over the carpet

What are you looking at me like that for?

I wasn't looking at you

I was miles away

Do you see what I see?

What's going on?

Perhaps he's trying keep Arlette also made of stone

Do you think he has fallen for her?

Fallen? Well if he has

he'll come down with a big bang when he finds out it was only a joke

If the joke hasn't gone too fast

We meet,we kiss, we part

What's all this talk about love?

Is it such a great tragedy?

For me it was pleasant amusing, yes but now I want to forget

That won't be easy

Why not?

Because to me to any rate this is

This is real

What was real yesterday is not real today

And will not be real tomorrow

I don't understand you

Arlette

Don't.You are hurting me

I think Julie's technique is improving,don't you?

It ought to,if she practices often enough

She is doing only her usual scales

Is it real only enough?

Not what you thought

All right,don't make it easier of it, Julie is practicing from scales,all right

I'll go on when she is finished

I'm sorry I didn't mean it down the floor

Julie,you better stop now

Go and have your bath

Sorry,Daddy

I'll come down and say Good Night before I go to bed

For heaven's sake

Stop that dreadful row

Helen

Leave me alone

I'm taking me off on the piano

-Have you got off your head? -Have you?

This fell out off one of your pupil's books

Well,it is,it is just a silly joke

Silly,yeah,joke not

It's pretty obvious that somebody

but although you don't consider Arlette Tesserau a fit friend for Julie

you find her company congenial enough

If you want to make you a fool of yourself,go ahead

I gave up my career to marry you, and I can always go back to it

Don't worry about me or Julie

Helen

Forget us, but for heavens sake, think about yourself

Arnold,remember your career, your books, your position

Don't let a ridiculous scandal ruin everything you worked for?

I wonder if those things are very important anyway

Not as important,apparently

as philandering with a girl, not much older than Julie

If the consequences won't so seriously, it would be laughable

Helen

Come in will you?

I want to talk to you and I'll come straight to the point

Mrs Dickson,if you've heard any stupid gossip there is nothing in it

Of course,there is nothing in it, how could there be?

-Why could there not be? -Why?

You're only a child

I'm not a child,I'm 18

And I can assure you,Mrs Dickson, that I'm not interested in your husband

You should not fear

Fear?

What a foolish girl you are

I go about with him,you know,if I wanted to

Go about with him?

If I wanted to

My dear child,do you really believe a man

of his abilities and perception

could possibly be serious about a silly little girl like you?

Now

You go back to school

You know I really should put you across my knee

and give you a good spanking

The way she spoke to me, I'll never forgive her,never,never

Did she bear down on you on four sails?

She said that I was a child and threatened to give me a good spanking

How dreadfully funny

She's a fool.She has made a great mistake

But I bet you gave her Arnold the cold shoulder from now on

I had intended to but now

Now what?

The wife should never underestimate another woman

I will prove how quickly I can take her dear Arnold from her

When I really try

He wants to keep his shop open till midnight

or all nights for that matter,like they do in New York, I say you should be allowed

Have you any cigarettes?

Yes,Sir,I think I could manage to find you twenty

Thank you very much

There we are,Sir

Giving up your the pipe now?

Just for a change,you know

Well as I was saying,Sir,I'm a great believer in private enterprise

It was private enterprise that built up the empire

Look her,I must go now,Good Afternoon

Good Afternoon,Sir

As I was saying,Miss Emmer..

Julie wanted you to have this

Thank you

Afraid I couldn't get back on an earlier train

I hope remember to bring her a little present..

I have to give her some money I..

I was so busy all day today I didn't have time to do anything

I called your publisher's office to remind you,they said you weren't there

And had no appointment

You've been with that girl,haven't you?

Yes,I have

I was going to tell you anyway

We've always been such friends,you and I,Helen

I can't stand all this lying and deceit

I'd rather do anything which isn't hurting you and Julie

Anything but give her up

Does she imagines she is in love with you?

I don't know

If she isn't,why do she want to go and see me all the time?

And you?

You have returned

You haven't eaten my piece of birthday cake yet,you are mean

In fancy having taking you up to see your wretched publisher today,of all days

We had a lovely party

That's right,now you stop it

What don't you say it? I am a bad husband and a rotten father

Mr Dickson is it?

Anything wrong,Sir?

No,I just left some rather important notes on my desk

Come inside,Sir

I'll put the lights on in the hall room so you can find them

There you are,Sir,all yours

Let's see

They don't seem to be here

I think I must have left them on either Miss Hopper or Miss Tesserau prep book

That's right,I remember now,I was interrupted

Could you get them for me,Withers?

The young ladies will be upstairs by now,I expect,Sir

But like chattering for another hour,I'll see if I can find them

Thank you

Look,how did you get in here? Come on,out you go

Out

Close the door

I was hoping you come down,I have to see you

What is it?

My wife knows

Knows what?

About us

I had to tell her

Oh,Arnold

I can't go back there tonight

My darling

We must get away right away from this place

Let us go to Paris on Monday,I will arrange reservations on the Golden Arrow

I will arrange everything

Do not worry

I shall count every moment until Monday

Oh,Arnold

Paris

It will be heavens

Hello

Hello,yes,Mrs Dickson

Good Evening,Miss Hallam. I'm afraid he isn't in yet

No,I want to speak to him personally

He is not at home,and Mrs Dickson sounds very distraught

Of course he is not at home

Could I give him a message for you?

I

I don't know I

I don't foresee it will be very late

Yes,I..

I tell him in front

Gosh it was lovely,in the water and underneath

What's the matter,Julie?

Nothing,Pat,I'm fine

Don't fib.Have you been crying?

No,I take it is because of swimming

Swimming my fault

Come on tell me all about it

It's just that,I think I'll be leaving Littleton soon

And I have loved it here

Leave it? But why?

Because my father

He left the house,Pat

Don't reveal a word,will you?

No

Of course not

Oh Julie,has it really come to that?

We've always been so happy,we three

Perhaps he has just lost his head

They always say

it is serious sort of men most likely to fall for pretty girls

I wish there was something I could do

Pat

Has your sister got an evening dress?

I expect so why?

Well do you think you will she will lend it to me?

I could ask her

Supposing I wrote a letter with my left hand

do you think anyone would recognize my writing?

I shouldn't think so. Julie,you've gone crazy?

No,but I think there is something I can do

-Henri -Yes,dear

When are you going to paint me?

Tomorrow,darling

And how is Arlette?

Enjoying life in her own way

Don't we all

And how is Arlette's latest conquest?

Someone old enough to be her own father

Another scalp for her collection,it's all very tedious

-Henri -Yes,dear

When are you going to paint me?

The day after tomorrow

What the heck!

I'm terribly sorry I spilled my drink

I'm soaked

That's nothing,come on, lie down and keep quiet

-Henri -Yes,Jenny

When are you going to paint me?

Next week,next week

What's your explanation of this?

Why can't I have some fun

Listen,I'm your father and I..

You were my father

Apparently it is not the first time you've been to a party like this

I even had anonymous letters about it

giving me the address and telling how to see it for myself

You came and saw your only daughter

heading for moral disaster,is that it?

Must be in the family

Julie,how dear you talk to me like that

And where do you meet these horrible people anyway?

At Arlette's.And Arlette is due here,Arlette

I think she is too young to go out and drink cocktails and use make up

Please Arlette

I'm sorry,Mr Dickson

I don't think she is the kind of girl I like her to be friends with

No,the pupil fetches things for her master

She is weary and spoiled

Ultra sophisticated

Arnold,remember your career

Or your position

don't let a ridiculous scandal ruin everything you worked for

Does she imagine she was in love with you

Love,we meet you speak up and so is this talk about love

To me it's serious

It's real

What is real yesterday is not real today

It will not be real tomorrow

Not to be real tomorrow

What did you say?

I was listening to myself

I want you to promise you won't go any more parties like that

I'll promise

I don't want any more anonymous letters

That was the first and the last

I wrote it

With my left hand

What?

I wrote that letter

This dress belongs to Patricia's sister

Make up is Mummy's

Something had to be done

I won't see her again,I promise

Let's go home,Daddy

All right

First I must go and tell Arlette

Come in

Arnold

What is this visit so late?

Has anything happened?

You look so upset

I've come to say good bye

Good Bye?

Oh,Good Bye

Oh,no.It is not true

You can't leave me

Try and understand,my darling

You can't do this to me now

I've been so happy packing all my things, thinking about you and I together

I know,I know but

Listen to me and do, don't try to understand

If we went away together

I couldn't make you happy because there will always be a shadow between us

You can't run away from your responsibilities,it is as easy as that

You can runaway from me easily though

No it is not easy,I think it is the hardest thing I've ever done

I hate myself for hurting you but

I'll hate myself even more if I run out

I don't think you would come back to Littleton,don't you?

No,I'll go right away to the Continent

Why don't you go to your father?

You must try and forget all about me

And you?

I shan't ever forget you,my darling

Good Bye

No,don't kiss me,I can't bear it

Go away while I don't look

Is everything all right,Daddy?

She is not coming back to Littleton

Why don't you go out and say good bye to her?

Me?

All right,daddy,if you like me to

You? How did you get in?

I was waiting outside for my father

You were? Were you?

Frightened he might decide to stay,eh?

Of course not

He fetched me from a party

and told me you were not coming back to Littleton

And I wanted to say good bye to you,Arlette

Another good bye,who next I wonder

Please,don't be bitter,Arlette, I know you are very unhappy

Me? Unhappy?

But you wanted to go away with him

You little fool,did you really think I would going away with your precious father?

Of course he wasn't

I don't believe you

What did you think I went with a man twice my age?

And on top of that one of the stupidest and dullest men I know

How dare you say that about my father

There is no need to pretend and tell lies

You were packing to go to Paris with him

That's were you are mistaken

If you look,you will see I am going to Rome

And if you want to know,I shall be traveling on the Rome express

With him

He is a man any girl would fall for

he is clever,interesting and very attractive

Your father set out to make me look the fool

I made a bet to get my own back and now I have made a fool of him

It was very easy

The only person you made a fool of was yourself

I think you are despicable

My hope is I shall never see you again

Do not worry,you never will

Perhaps I ought not asked you to say good bye

I'm glad I said good bye to Arlette

Did she say anything?

Yes,she said

she said you were a man any girl would fall for

Clever,interesting and very attractive

Can you drive as far as Littleton in Hertfordshire?

Littleton?Hertfordshire? At this time of the night?

All right,Captain

You're being very extravagant,Daddy

It's worth it

Helen,darling

I have to go to stop at Rose& Crown and pick my things up

You needn't bother,they are here

Come in

You rung,Miss?

Yes I did

This time it is my swim suit that has disappeared

Skimping in the right I suppose, and where are my tennis shoes?

Would that be all,Miss?

Yes

No

I know I forgot what it was anyway

What kind of service are you

Throughout many years it has been my privilege to serve Mr Tesserau

whom I consider in many ways my superior

I've always endeavored to tolerate his abominable daughter

but I fear without success

I have avoided putting my thoughts into words

I think the time has now come when I may permit myself the liberty of saying

that you ought to be put across somebody's knee and spanked

Hard, furthermore

if it not involved a certain loss of dignity on my part

I would not hesitate to do it myself

Good night

Dignity be blown

This is the end
