:10:01
wishes to see me
for a few minutes.
:10:04
She has a wee problem
she wishes to discuss with me.
:10:07
Now, what subject
were we doing?
:10:09
- History, Miss Brodie.
- Oh, yes.
:10:11
Open your history books.
:10:13
While I'm away
from the room...
:10:15
you will all read the chapter on
the succession of the Stuarts.
:10:20
You will sit quietly in your seats
and remain composed...
:10:24
like the Mona Lisa.
:10:33
Miss Brodie, do you
know what this is?
:10:36
It would appear to be a piece of blue paper
with writing on it in pencil.
:10:41
It is, in fact,
a letter.
:10:43
It was found by Miss McKenzie
in a library book.
:10:45
She glanced at it, but after the first sentence,
she dared not actually read it.
:10:49
She brought it
instantly to me.
:10:51
Yes.
Is it addressed to you?
:10:53
No, Miss Brodie.
It's addressed to Mr. Lowther...
:10:57
but it is signed
by you.
:11:01
- I shall begin.
- Oh, please do.
:11:04
Of course, I realize
it is a forgery...
:11:06
just the work
of a child.
:11:08
"My dear, delightful Gordon...
:11:11
"your letter has moved me deeply,
as you may imagine...
:11:15
"but, alas, I must ever decline
to be Mrs. Lowther.
:11:19
"My reasons are twofold.
:11:21
"I am dedicated
to my girls...
:11:24
"as is
madame Pavlova...
:11:26
"and there is another in my life...
he is Teddy Lloyd.
:11:29
"Intimacy has never taken place with him.
He is married to another.
:11:34
"We are not lovers,
but we know the truth.
:11:36
"However, I was proud of giving myself to you
when you came and took me...
:11:41
"in the bracken while
the storm raged about us.
:11:45
"If I am in
a certain condition...
:11:48
"I shall place the infant in the care
of a worthy shepherd and his wife.
:11:52
"I may permit misconduct to occur again
from time to time as an outlet...
:11:57
"because I am in my prime.
