:46:01
Don't you start on me.
It was all a ghastly mistake.
:46:05
No doubt, but it will take some explaining.
:46:08
Fancy reporting it
to the Director of Religious Broadcasting.
:46:12
What a nasty thing for a holy woman to do.
:46:16
The Mother Superior is responsible
for the nuns in her charge.
:46:20
Then she should jolly well make sure
they know how to behave in public.
:46:24
I got the fright of my life in there.
:46:27
They were like mice. Albino mice.
:46:30
With tiny little white faces
and weeny little red eyes, and...
:46:35
They were vicious.
:46:37
They scratched and bit.
I still have the tooth marks. Look. There.
:46:42
I've a jolly good mind to put in
a counter-complaint to the Mother Superior.
:46:47
They deserve to be scourged in their cells.
:46:52
I can hardly put through a report
to the controller...
:46:54
informing him of your allegation
that you were bitten...
:46:57
by two nuns.
:46:58
Why not?
For all we know they might have had rabies.
:47:02
Please, Miss Buckridge, let's be practical.
:47:06
We are all concerned with retaining the trust
and respect of the public.
:47:11
Now, we do all we can
to gloss over minor disciplinary offenses.
:47:16
But we simply cannot tolerate
this sort of behavior.
:47:25
What do you want me to do?
:47:27
You must write a letter of apology
to the Mother Superior.
:47:32
You mean, humbling myself?
:47:33
Don't worry, Mrs. Croft, I'll see she does it.
:47:36
And I'll also see she doesn't get
into any more of that kind of mischief.
:47:40
Now there speaks a true friend.
:47:44
You're very lucky to have someone
like Miss McNaught to rely on.
:47:49
Treasure her.
:47:50
I'll treasure her all right.
:47:53
But what about Applehurst?
:47:55
That's another
rather more complex problem.
:47:58
I mean, have they decided anything
for the future?
