:10:01
when are they coming back?
:10:05
They're not coming back, child.
:10:07
Just like Daddy.
:10:10
Daddy is coming back, though.
:10:12
Mrs Mills, our father's
fighting in a war in France.
:10:16
NICHOLAS : It's the world war.
:10:18
I know, but he 's in France.
:10:20
That's enough, chatterboxes.
Finish up your breakfasts.
:10:24
Are you going to leave us, too ?
:10:27
of course not!
:10:30
why should I leave you?
:10:32
The others
said they wouldn 't...
:10:34
but they did,
and then it happened.
:10:36
Be quiet!
:10:40
what do you mean, Anne ?
what happened?
:10:44
Mummy went... mad.
:10:48
-Nothing happened.
- Yes, it did.
:10:51
-No, it didn 't!
- Yes, it did!
:10:53
GRACE: Be quiet.
:10:57
what's going on ?
I want those plates empty...
:11:00
in less than a minute.
Is that clear?
:11:05
Mrs Mills, would you
come outside a moment?
:11:07
I'd like a word with you.
:11:11
Yes, ma 'am.
:11:16
The postman usually
comes every wednesday.
:11:20
But I just checked
the letter-box...
:11:21
and this week he hasn 't.
:11:24
I'm afraid
I don 't follow, ma 'am.
:11:26
This letter
should have been collected...
:11:28
and delivered to
the newspaper five days ago.
:11:30
It's an adverisement
for servants.
:11:32
Since it was never published...
:11:33
would you explain
what you 're doing here ?
:11:35
oh, I understand.
:11:38
Ma 'am, that's what
I was going to say to you...
:11:41
when you opened the door to us.
:11:43
The truth is
that we just come by...
:11:45
on the off chance.
:11:47
A big house like this...
:11:49
is always in need of someone
who knows the ropes.
:11:52
You 've served in a house
like this one before ?
:11:54
This may come as a surprise
to you, ma 'am, but...
:11:57
we, in fact,
used to work here.
