0:00:06 > 0:00:08# Some things have changed
0:00:08 > 0:00:12# Some things have stayed the same
0:00:12 > 0:00:15# Life and death are not so far apart
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# Walking through the walls
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# And I wouldn't have it any other way
0:00:21 > 0:00:27# Life and death are not so far apart
0:00:27 > 0:00:32# From where we are
0:00:36 > 0:00:38# Some things have changed
0:00:38 > 0:00:42# Some things have stayed the same
0:00:42 > 0:00:46# Life and death are not so far apart. #
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Hazel, what are we doing?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Making sure we're not late for assembly.
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- But it's 5.30 in the morning.- I know!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And you're always late for assembly.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03The old Hazel was always late for assembly,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05whereas the new Hazel is always on time
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and is neither stubborn nor argumentative.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The new Hazel is rather dull.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Right. So what happened?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Miss Sinclair told me I had 37 demerit points
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and she can expel me if I get 40.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24So I have to be quiet and well behaved from now on.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27Which is possible.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29I can do it. It makes me feel neither angry or irritated
0:01:29 > 0:01:31or stubborn at all.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I did not just do that.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40It is the way he uses such unpretentious language
0:01:40 > 0:01:44and also pulls you so completely into the story.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Seeing as you got on so well with Hemingway,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48how about we try Farewell To Arms next?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yes, please! Anything else by such a modern writer would be amazing!
0:01:52 > 0:01:54A modern writer?
0:01:54 > 0:01:57You can be pretty strange, Sophie.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59But your enthusiasm's great.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01KNOCK AT DOOR
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Is this the book club?- Yes!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06It's not exactly oversubscribed, is it?
0:02:06 > 0:02:08I'm afraid, Headmaster,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11that Sophie's the only pupil interested in joining.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13But I love it, it is wonderful!
0:02:13 > 0:02:16We discuss books!
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Well, Mrs Miller, I have some new recruits for you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23These pupils are all behind on their literacy,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25so I told them they have to join.
0:02:25 > 0:02:30A little more reading and a little less Music-Video TV is the answer.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Is Music-Video TV the channel where girls perform strange dance moves,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38which include hip gyrating?
0:02:38 > 0:02:44That's the one, but not for these pupils any more. Mrs Miller,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I'll leave them in your capable hands. Toodle-oo!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51You will love this club, I'm sure of it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We will have so much fun discussing literature!
0:02:54 > 0:02:59This after-school project will be an exciting and rewarding activity.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04You'll be involved in establishing our very own hydraulic water pump.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Water is not exciting. Chocolate milkshakes are exciting!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12May we do a project on chocolate milkshakes instead?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14This pump will need to be large enough
0:03:14 > 0:03:18to generate water for the whole of the school's ten-acre site.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Not exactly fascinating! - Hazel, think carefully.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Three demerits away from expulsion, remember?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Sorry, I meant to say, "Goodness, water! How incredibly fascinating."
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I'm glad you feel that way,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34because we will be starting as soon as possible.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38First, we knock down this peppercorn tree to make room for the pump.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40What did you say?!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- I said we're going to knock down this peppercorn tree.- You cannot!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I think you'll find we can.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48And we will.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Besides, you're hardly in a position to argue, are you?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yes, Miss Sinclair.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56GIGGLING
0:03:58 > 0:04:01CRYING
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Hazel! What is wrong?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Miss Sin...
0:04:11 > 0:04:17I cannot... The stupid, stupid water.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I do not understand.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Miss Sinclair is chopping down the peppercorn tree
0:04:22 > 0:04:24and she can't argue in case she is expelled.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28And then she said, "Stupid, stupid water."
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Your peppercorn tree? The one you planted with Mother?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35The day before we...
0:04:37 > 0:04:40The day before we died.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Stupid water.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I still do not understand the part about the stupid water.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49She wants to build a hypnotic water pump,
0:04:49 > 0:04:55so she's knocking down my tree for her hypno water and...
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Do not worry.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We will think of something.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02We must.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Planting the tree was the last thing Mother and I did together.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, Sophie and I have been discussing Hemingway.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Has anyone else here read The Old Man And The Sea?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I thought not.- Mrs Miller.- Yes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So instead of reading the books,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23couldn't we just, like, watch the DVDs?
0:05:23 > 0:05:26That's hardly the same, Christine.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- But most films are based on books, aren't they?- Not all.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Can you be a bit quieter? I'm trying to read a magazine.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- Mrs Miller.- Yes. - What do you reckon?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I "reckon" that the point is to read.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42But I have so many DVDs and hardly any books.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'm sure we can provide you with books, Christine.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So I'll just pick one that's based on a film.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- But Mrs Miller, could you...? - Make them focus?
0:05:51 > 0:05:53This isn't a lesson, Sophie.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55It's a book club.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57It's for fun.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59It's not fun any more.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Hey.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11SHE GASPS
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Sorry, didn't mean to frighten you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- Are you OK? - I'm just upset about this tree.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24OK, but how come?
0:06:24 > 0:06:29Um... The reason is...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32that I love all trees and though I may have never mentioned it,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35trees are my...favourite things.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So are you an environmentalist?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Uh... No.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I mean, indeed, yes, I am.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Will that help?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Do envi-mental people usually get their way?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Sometimes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They're pretty big on saving trees.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Then I'm an envi-mental and I have to save this tree!
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Yet somehow I have to do this without getting expelled.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02You could start a campaign.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I don't think teachers can give demerits for campaigns.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Not if it's for a good cause.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- Do you really think so?- You might.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Then I shall do that, then. I shall start a campaign.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16You're beyond compare, Matty
0:07:16 > 0:07:17and I'm an envi-mental!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21It's actually environmentalist.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Jonathan, is there anything you can tell me about envi-mentals?
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I would if I knew what an envi-mental was.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36People who save trees with campaigns.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They normally wear sandals.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Wear sandals. Oh!
0:07:41 > 0:07:44What else?
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Erm, sometimes they have dreadlocks too.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51CRASH!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Oh. I crashed...again.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Hazel, you can't just make it go off every time you lose!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04So, what are dreadlocks?
0:08:06 > 0:08:12- Dreadlocks are like big, matted bits of hair.- Oh.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Is there anything else you can tell me?
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Erm, they usually play a lot of acoustic guitar.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Mainly issue-based folk songs.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Jonathan, you are beyond compare and I'm an envi-mental!
0:08:25 > 0:08:27I think you mean an environmentalist.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Ow!
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Goodness.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37What on earth are you doing?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I'm making her look like an environmentalist.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41This is how they wear it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It looks awful.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48One of you needs to bathe.
0:08:48 > 0:08:54That is me. I cannot bathe any more. It would be a betrayal to my cause.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Now I'm truly confused.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00I read that environmentalists do not believe in wasting water.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03So there'll be no more bathing for me.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Also, I'm learning the guitar
0:09:04 > 0:09:07in order to perform some issue-based folk songs.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09So where have YOU been?
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Goodness.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- What are those? They look terrible! - I do not care what they look like.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I am doing this because I care about something.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21What do you care about, Rebecca?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Looking pretty.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27And the importance of a good manicure.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33So, I care about literature, Hazel is trying to save her tree and you...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36You care about the importance of a good manicure?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I care about other things also.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Such as?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Boys.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44There must be something else.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Due to be cut down Friday 15th?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Tomorrow?!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Well, I...
0:09:55 > 0:09:57I must start my campaign right away!
0:09:59 > 0:10:01# Save my trees
0:10:01 > 0:10:05# But especially the peppercorn tree... #
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Er, Hazel?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11How come you look like a Woodstock throwback?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, I am an environmentalist now.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Right.- Will you sign my petition to save the peppercorn tree?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- No.- Why would we care?!
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Headmaster, there must be some other way to improve their literacy.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Surely the best way to improve literacy is for them to read more.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35But they're not reading.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40I had found a place where... A place where I could simply...
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Be yourself? That's the answer.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Be yourself. Explain to them why literature means so much to you.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Really?- Yes, really.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00- How did it go?- Hopefully you'll have better luck than me.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07# Save the trees
0:11:07 > 0:11:09# Save the planet But don't warm the globe
0:11:09 > 0:11:11# Save the tree
0:11:11 > 0:11:13# And all other issues et cetera
0:11:13 > 0:11:16# But especially save the tree Yeah yeah yeah! #
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Here are my petitions in support of my campaign.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24There's only one signature on it. Yours, 100 times.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Indeed. That simply shows how strongly I feel about it.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32So now you care about this tree because you're an environmentalist?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34That is right.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Oh, please also note my hair
0:11:36 > 0:11:39and, a-hem, sandals.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43You know, there's always one of you Ainsworth girls
0:11:43 > 0:11:46in here asking for something. The thing is, Hazel,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49that hydraulic water pump is good for the environment.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53In what way is hypnotic water good for anything?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56It's hydraulic. Never mind.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Water restrictions are increasing,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01therefore it is very important that we produce our own water
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and the school becomes self-reliant.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11Stupid hair.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Is anyone looking?
0:12:15 > 0:12:19If they are, then just use your appalling level of hygiene.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Ah! That is better!
0:12:25 > 0:12:29I have found myself a cause to truly care about.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Animal rights. I love animals. Especially kittens.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Kittens are adorable!
0:12:35 > 0:12:36I'm an animal righter.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40If it is cruel to animals, then I am against it!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45But Rebecca, you're eating a cheeseburger.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- You are eating meat. - But I love cheeseburgers.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50All the same.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53You're right.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Of course.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I shall eat no more cheeseburgers.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04Never again will I devour the cruel but very tasty, utterly delicious...
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I'll find another cause to care about.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Cheeseburgers are simply too good!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Matty, could you offer me some advice?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18There's a problem with my campaign.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20Sure, I'll help if I can.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I found out yesterday that... hypno-water object
0:13:23 > 0:13:25is also good for the environment.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Yeah, that's true.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30There is so little time and I truly love that tree.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Hazel, what makes this tree so important?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37It's just that it reminds me of a tree that my mother once planted.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Oh, that's so sweet!
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Maybe if you could get some more pupils involved.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47If you get enough people on your side,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51you could even form a human barricade around the tree!
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Show the headmaster the school cares more about the tree.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Except they do not. They do not seem to care at all.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01Sophie has been asked by Headmaster Griffiths to talk to you today
0:14:01 > 0:14:02about why she loves to read.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Whoop de doo!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06I have written down a few things
0:14:06 > 0:14:09that may make you feel more like reading.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16For example, reading a passage from a well-respected novel
0:14:16 > 0:14:19can be a very good way to impress a potential suitor.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Potential what?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I know some boys may be shocked if you do something inappropriate,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29so stay away from the controversial yet marvellous Lord Byron.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34Choose something gentle, like a William Wordsworth poem.
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Are you honestly suggesting
0:14:35 > 0:14:38we get a guy's attention by reading him poetry?
0:14:38 > 0:14:43Of course. And reading aloud can be a wonderful party trick.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Say, for example, you are not musical,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48yet you have been asked to perform at a social gathering.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Well, a literary recital is just perfect.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Can we watch the film now?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Just one more thing.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00A book can take you anywhere.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Literally anywhere.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05If you are stuck somewhere for a terribly long time,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07then reading can make you feel
0:15:07 > 0:15:09as though you have travelled the entire world.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Or if you're a normal person you can just take a plane.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14THEY LAUGH
0:15:16 > 0:15:18OK, play.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25SHE MOUTHS
0:15:25 > 0:15:26Oh, again.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- Too pretty. - Rebecca, what exactly are you doing?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, I'm giving to the needy.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34I'm going to give all the clothes that I no longer need
0:15:34 > 0:15:37to the poor people in... Um...
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Well, I don't know.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Wherever it is they need them, because I care about the poor.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Yet the only thing you have in here is one shoe.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, yes. As it turns out,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50there are very few clothes that I no longer need.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Rebecca, you have a whole wardrobe of clothes you no longer need.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57They're all 150 years out of date!
0:15:57 > 0:16:03This is so difficult. I cannot find a cause I genuinely care about.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Do not worry, you will find something.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Perhaps, you just need a little help to truly care.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Sophie! That is it! They just need a little help to truly care.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18A little nudge! That is it! Come, quickly!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I know what to do. I think we can save our tree.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- IN GHOSTLY VOICE:- Save my tree, or you will be haunted.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Woo!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Woo!
0:16:35 > 0:16:40(Save the peppercorn tree. You must save it.)
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- SHOUTS:- Save the peppercorn tree!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- What now?- Clearly, you are going to have to find
0:16:47 > 0:16:49a different approach to your problems.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Easy for you to say! It's not you that has to do it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So, there I was, hanging with my ghost homies,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59when all of a sudden my bleeper goes off
0:16:59 > 0:17:02saying that you have been misusing your abilities.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- So now, you need to come with me. - Um...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08How have I been misusing my abilities?
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Because you are not supposed to use your powers
0:17:11 > 0:17:13to influence other people.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Hasn't anyone ever told you that?! - Um... No.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Oh, yes. That must have slipped my mind.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Whoopsie daisy. I'm sure it was on my to-do list,
0:17:23 > 0:17:29but you should have known anyway, so to my office. Now.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Come on! Skedaddle.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Pretend that I don't have eternity.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm sorry, Agatha, but I did not know.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43She makes an interesting point.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45After all, what is knowledge, you know?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47What does it truly mean to know anything?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49She should know right from wrong.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Ah, but what is right and what is wrong?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Who is the arbiter of our moral compass?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Is that the inner self? Or society's constraints?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Will you please shut up! - Sorry, Agatha.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Think about it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Is it really OK to scare people into doing what you want?- Of course not.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I just did not know what else to do.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Please, Agatha, will you help me?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm sorry, not this time.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18You know how the ghost council are.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I'm waiting for them to text me.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25I have to see what they decide about this whole situation.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I thought you may like some company.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Where is Rebecca?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Another make-up crisis perhaps?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Again, I do not know.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41She hurried off saying she had something terribly important to do.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43What will you do?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45I wanted to form a barricade,
0:18:45 > 0:18:50but there is just me and a barricade of one isn't very barricading.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53A barricade of two may be slightly better?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Really? You would come?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59And I'm sure Rebecca will come too and Matty and Jonathan.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- It may just work.- And even if it doesn't, we have to try.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05There is something I must try too.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- Oh!- Come along.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Mrs Miller, I have been thinking and thinking
0:19:10 > 0:19:15and I have decided that I'm going to start my own book club.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18I realise I may well be the only member...
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Oh, I understand, Sophie.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22If you ever just want to have a chat with me about books,
0:19:22 > 0:19:25you can always just stay after class.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26Thank you.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Oh, yes, that's very sweet...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32but you're kind of cold.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I'm too nervous to eat.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42As am I.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45We should simply head to the tree.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48But Rebecca's not here.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Perhaps she will come later.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54This actually isn't a bad barricade.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57If they chop the tree down, we're done for, but...
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- It'll be worth it.- Yes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Mate, you just get started on this bit.- Easy for you to say.- Oh, it's...
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Hazel Ainsworth, you are three demerits away from expulsion!
0:20:08 > 0:20:09You should untie yourself.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12You can't give demerits for fighting for a cause.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14She is standing up for what she believes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Explain exactly why you think
0:20:16 > 0:20:19this tree is more important than the hydraulic water pump?
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We and my mother...
0:20:22 > 0:20:23What about your mother?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26She... Nothing.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Well, seeing as that was such an unconvincing argument,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32I think we're back to where we started.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Hazel, this is your final warning.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38If you do not untie yourself in the next 60 seconds,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I will pull you away by force and expel you.- A-hem!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44For your own safety, of course.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I think you should do what Miss Sinclair asks.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- How is it going?- Aside from the fact I'm about to be expelled,
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I would say it's going really well.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Not to worry, I can help.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Miss Sinclair, did you know
0:21:01 > 0:21:05that this tree is protected by covenant on the school's leasehold?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08The document the headmaster is reading explains
0:21:08 > 0:21:10that if you were to cut down this tree,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14the school would be obliged to leave school property immediately.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Tell me she's talking rubbish.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18No, she's absolutely correct.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22We would have been evicted, but Queen Victoria has saved our skins.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25That was close. Good work, Rebecca.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Well done.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30My tree is safe! My...
0:21:30 > 0:21:33THEY GROAN
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Rebecca, is something the matter?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Only you have been very quiet since it all happened.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well, I am so pleased Hazel's tree is safe.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50It's just, I still cannot find a cause to care about.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Rebecca, how long did you spend
0:21:52 > 0:21:56searching through old documents in the library to find that covenant?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I have been searching for the last few days.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02The idea came to me when Hazel first heard the news.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I did not want to mention it and get her hopes up
0:22:05 > 0:22:06in case I was unsuccessful.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11The covenant in the lease,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13it was written by Mother
0:22:13 > 0:22:15to protect the tree the two of you planted.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Rebecca, I think it is perfectly obvious what cause you care about.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22It is?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Yes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25You care about us.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31You are right! I do not need another cause - I care about you.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Oh! And boys. And looking pretty, of course.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44THEY LAUGH
0:22:45 > 0:22:48So, the ghost council finally texted
0:22:48 > 0:22:50and e-mailed
0:22:50 > 0:22:52and sent smoke signals.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55They do get a little bit carried away sometimes.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56They are not impressed
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and they feel that some form of punishment is essential.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02However, they...
0:23:02 > 0:23:06liked your issues-based folk song.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08They felt that the way you blended
0:23:08 > 0:23:12some Bob Dylan with some Beatles was inspired.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16I disagree, but there you go.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20So, for your punishment, they would like you
0:23:20 > 0:23:23to write them a song.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Oh, thank you, Agatha! Thank goodness!
0:23:30 > 0:23:32What are you doing here?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Actually, I'm here for my new book club.- Welcome.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I thought we could start with some Plato.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I thought Kerouac.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41No, let's start with Beowulf.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I am a fast reader, we may start with all of them.
