The whole term,
they behaved to me like 50 devils.
:29:03
Then today, they make me a speech,
they give me a cake...
:29:07
...and I burst out of tears.
:29:10
- Into tears, Staefel. In English the...
- Shut up, Ogilvie. The term's over.
:29:14
- Chipping, cake?
- That's very nice of you. Thank you.
:29:17
- Mind if I borrow this?
- Go ahead.
:29:20
"H.G. Wells."
Never heard of him.
:29:21
His first. He won't come to much.
He's too fantastic.
:29:24
- Where do you go for your holidays?
- Harrogate. He always does.
:29:27
Hello, Jenks.
Cut yourself a piece of cake.
:29:30
You will have your little jokes.
:29:32
Headmaster's compliments, sir. He'd
like to see you in his study, immediate.
:29:39
I'll bet that's about
taking over Woodward's house.
:29:42
- Congratulations, Chipping.
- Thank you very much.
:29:45
- You certainly deserve it after all this time.
- It's quite a surprise, if it's true.
:29:49
Though, mind you, I had rather hoped.
:29:51
- But I better get along.
- Well, good luck.
:29:53
Good luck, Chipping.
:29:55
See, Chipping.
:29:57
I knock on wood for you.
:30:00
Thanks. Thanks.
:30:05
I expect you've guessed why
I wanted to see you, Mr. Chipping.
:30:08
- Sit down.
- Thank you.
:30:10
Mr. Woodward's retirement
leaves a housemastership vacant.
:30:14
- Yes, sir.
- You are the senior master.
:30:16
Normally the vacancy would go to you.
:30:19
That is why I feel that, in fairness to you,
I should tell you personally...
:30:23
...why the governors and I have
decided to appoint Mr. Wilkinson.
:30:28
We felt that with your unusual gifts
of getting work out of the boys...
:30:34
...that you'd rather
concentrate on teaching...
:30:37
...and leave the rather tiresome job
of housemaster to someone...
:30:41
...with special gifts in that direction.
- I understand, sir.
:30:44
Though I doubt if Mr. Wilkinson
will ever turn out...
:30:47
...as many minor Latin poets
as you have.
:30:51
I quite understand, sir.
:30:54
Yes. I thought you would.
:30:58
- Just off for the holidays, Mr. Chipping?
- Yes, yes. To Harrogate.
