0:00:22 > 0:00:24If William had a fault,
0:00:24 > 0:00:30it was that for good reasons he often did bad things.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Has anyone seen my newspaper?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36But overall he was a good boy,
0:00:36 > 0:00:40with a lot of vital, urgent projects.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42William?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Yes?
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Why are you dressed like that?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53It's an idea for the fancy dress competition at the church fete.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56And you are supposed to be?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00A newspaper boy. I'm taking it seriously this year because you can win a donkey.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04A donkey ride.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- While you're here we need to have a chat.- What about?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Your terrible school marks.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- I need to go to the lavatory.- Sit!
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Not you. William.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16HE GROANS
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Go and pick up that pen for your papa, would you, Violet Elizabeth?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I'm not Violet Elizabeth.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'm Little Bo Peep with my sheep.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Oh! - HE RINGS BELL
0:01:34 > 0:01:37The weight's come back on with a vengeance, hasn't it, Botty?
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Skipping keeps me skinny.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Do you want to come skipping with me, Daddy?- No, thank you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I can skip slowly so you don't fall behind.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51No, I think your papa needs a bit more than skipping, don't you, Botty?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54He needs a completely new body.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55KNOCK AT DOOR
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Thank you.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Maybe we should put you on a fast.
0:02:18 > 0:02:19Who is Bob Andrews?
0:02:19 > 0:02:24Oh, he's that nice man who sits in a seat in his shed smoking ceaselessly.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27What did she say?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34I think Bob Andrews is the one who doesn't seem to do very much in the garden.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48It takes two girls 30 minutes to eat a cake.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50How long will it take three girls to eat it? You've answered,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- "the cake's already been eaten." - That's the right answer.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Let's imagine there's another cake.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02How long would it take the three girls to eat it?
0:03:02 > 0:03:08Well, girls are never very hungry, are they?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12You don't know, do you, because your arithmetic is appalling.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- 182.- No.- 200...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm afraid you're going to have to be tutored this summer holiday.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- In the holidays?! No!- Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22I bet even slaves didn't have to work in the holidays.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I'll get brain fever from overwork like they get in books
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and you'll have to pay my doctors' bills, perhaps even my funeral.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And if I did die there'd be an inquest about it in Parliament.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32I'm willing to risk it.
0:03:32 > 0:03:39How do you know I haven't come on really well with arithmetic recently?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43All right,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I won't hire a tutor until I've seen your school report.
0:03:46 > 0:03:51If it's better than usual you won't need extra lessons in the holiday.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55HE SNORES
0:03:55 > 0:03:56KNOCK AT DOOR
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Ah, hello, Botty.- What the devil are you doing calling me that?!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07Well, I heard your wife saying it, so I assumed it was your name.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Mr Bott to you.- You're the boss.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Anyway, Bob...
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Mr Andrews to you.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I need to sack you because it seems you're rather idle.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23Well, I don't rush around needlessly, if that's what you mean.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes, well,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm giving you two weeks' notice. Goodbye.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33The flower bed in front of the house needs weeding.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36OK, Botty.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It's all wrong, Jumble.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Stupid arithmetic.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Like that's ever going to be useful!
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Let's go and see Bob.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51He's always fun.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Come on, Jumble.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Sacked?! Why?
0:04:56 > 0:05:02Well, the old devil up there in the house says I don't work hard enough.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- What?! You're always whittling us boats and stuff.- I know.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08The trouble is,
0:05:08 > 0:05:15nowadays, people don't understand the value of just sitting quietly.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16We've got to do something.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Goodbye, burnt toast.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Anyone seen William?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27He was brushing his teeth with a stick.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29He says that's how they do it in Africa.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- Makes a change from using Robert's toothbrush to do Jumble's teeth. - Ethel!- What?!
0:05:34 > 0:05:35ETHEL LAUGHS
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Letter from my Aunt Augusta.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Is she the one with the wooden leg?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41No, that's Aunt Agnes.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Aunt Augusta's rather old and argumentative.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And has piles of money.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55WILLIAM SLAMS PLATE DOWN
0:05:58 > 0:06:01What's the matter with you?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Usually you eat breakfast like a muck spreader.- Robert!
0:06:04 > 0:06:08He's a little bit miz because we're planning to hire a tutor for him during the holidays.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- There's laws against it. - No, there aren't.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13There will be when I'm in charge.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15My Aunt Augusta is coming on Friday.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Is she the one with the wooden leg? ALL:- No, that's Aunt Agnes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20HE SNIFFS
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Hello again, burnt toast.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Ooh! - DOG YAPS
0:06:32 > 0:06:33Morning, dear.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Violet Elizabeth. - Good morning, Daddy.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Mmm!
0:06:37 > 0:06:39HE CHUCKLES
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Where's my breakfast?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Now, don't get peeved.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I have found a thrilling new regime for you to follow in one of my magazines.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Do I have to?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Oh, come on, Botty, we can do this together.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Not together in that sense, but I can help you.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- And so can Violet Elizabeth. - I still think we should both go skipping, Daddy.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I am not going skipping!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Botty, you're a fighter.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19That's how you made it in business. Don't be defeated by a few pounds!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Or stone, I suppose it is.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26There's exercises, too.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Settle down!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I know it's approaching the end of term, but I still need you to...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Ginger, sit down.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Dalrymple threw something at my head, sir.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45It wasn't me, sir. It was a poltergeist.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Right. What is Great Britain made up of?
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Great and Britain.- No.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's England, Wales, and...?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56An old woman wearing a funny hat!
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- No, Henry.- And why's the old woman carrying a pig, sir?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01THEY LAUGH
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's not a pig, it's Wales.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09It's nothing like an old woman carrying a stupid pig.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13- Glad to hear it, Mr Attwater. - Headmaster.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Well, I hate to spoil your well of happiness, boys, but I have here your school reports.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Take them around.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25As usual we've tried in our comments to be fair-minded,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28helpful, and gently encouraging.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- Ow!- Sorry.
0:08:30 > 0:08:37But I'm sure you'll find our comments unhelpful, vindictive and illegible.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Douglas, practise your catching over the summer.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Be that as it may, these reports are to be taken to your parents,
0:08:44 > 0:08:49and any boy found opening and reading his will be severely punished.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Is that clear?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- ALL:- Yes, sir.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59It says I'm fantastic!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- "Fantastically irritating."- Oh, yes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It's true. I am generally thoughtful.
0:09:06 > 0:09:13- Could be worse.- "His handwriting suggests he is writing while on the back of a fast-moving camel."
0:09:13 > 0:09:15"Tends to overdo the sarcasm."
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Oh, how interesting(!)
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Come on. It's not that bad, is it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Ooh, it is.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28That's it, then.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31First Bob Andrews gets the sack,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34now my father makes me do lessons all summer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Fine summer this is going to be.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48MAN GROANS
0:09:52 > 0:09:54GROANING CONTINUES
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- HIS BACK CLICKS - Ow!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Oh! Aaah!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Aaah! It's cold!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49I've got it.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56What are you playing at?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59I'll give it back if you promise to let Bob stay.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Bob?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Bob Andrews. Who you're sacking even though he's done nothing.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10You are a naughty little boy, and if you aren't careful I shall tell your father.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13You can't. He's in jail for making people work in the holidays.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Give me back my clothes, and we'll say no more about it.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21I'll give them back if you don't send Bob away.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Now, look here... - No, you look here.- What?!
0:11:26 > 0:11:28What?! You!
0:11:51 > 0:11:54William?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Why are you wet?
0:11:59 > 0:12:04Well...I was walking by a pond, minding my own business,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08and I saw a duck which looked like it was drowning. So I said,
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- "Are you all right?" - And what did the duck say?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12It didn't reply.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15So I said,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18"I can't get my school uniform wet."
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- But it...- Carried on drowning?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Yes. So I jumped in and rescued it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Come here.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39You will feel free to experiment with honesty, won't you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Er, yes, I will.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47- I bumped into Ginger's mother today. - Ginger?- William's friend.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Which one is he?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Take a wild guess.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54The ginger one?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Mmm. She was bemoaning his school report.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03Apparently he's gone beyond "must try harder" to "the door is always open if he wishes to leave."
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- So where's William's report? - Exactly.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- BOTH:- William!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Is it supper time?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I'll come back later.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Where's your school report, William?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- I left it at school.- Why?
0:13:23 > 0:13:25For safety.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Well, it's true there have been a shocking number of school report thefts recently.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Perhaps you should leave it there forever, just to be extra safe.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That's not actually a bad idea.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Bring it home. We need to see it.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Oh, and William... My Aunt's coming tomorrow,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- and, how shall I put this, it's quite important that we're nice to her.- Why?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Because it's important that we're nice to everyone in life.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Even Hitler, if he was still alive?
0:13:50 > 0:13:52No, not Hitler.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Or Mussolini? - None of the fascist leaders.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57So don't put frogs in teapots.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Or lash her leg to a chair.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Why would I do that?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I don't know, but you did it to Aunt Winifred.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05What's so special about Aunt Augusta?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09One day, if she likes us,
0:14:09 > 0:14:15some crumbs may fall off her table onto ours.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19And it might be a shame to miss out on any crumbs.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Oh, you mean when she's dead.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- ELECTRICAL ZAPPING - My hairdryer's stopped working!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29HE SIGHS
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Was Daddy always big and fat?
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Oh, I wouldn't say he's actually fat, dear.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Yes, he is. - Gosh, yes, he is, isn't he?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53He didn't have very much when he was growing up.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55So when we got bit of money he...
0:14:55 > 0:14:59He bought lots of food. And ate it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Oh.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03HE GROANS
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Come away, Violet Elizabeth. You're upsetting yourself.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43BELL RINGS
0:15:43 > 0:15:44CHILDREN CHEER
0:15:44 > 0:15:50Hand your essays in and leave quietly without breaking anything. Thank you, thank you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Thank you, thank you.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Thank you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Come on!
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Stay behind, Mr Brown.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Thank you, thank you.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Pockets, please.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Er, not that one.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I didn't mean that one either.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Yes, you don't spell clever with a K.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42What, never?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44No. If it's any consolation,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48the world is full of people who had awful school reports but went on to be geniuses.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Although history doesn't record whether they spelt "genius"
0:16:51 > 0:16:54with a J and two Ss.
0:17:00 > 0:17:06Looks like I'll have to give them the real report, and spend the whole summer indoors with a horrible tutor
0:17:06 > 0:17:11getting paler and paler until I'm so pale I can't be seen except against a dark background.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15There should be laws against it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Yes, you said.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Have you got the camera?
0:17:21 > 0:17:22Right!
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Oh, boys, I need your help. I'm lost.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Where are you trying to get to? - Mr and Mrs Brown's house. Do you know them?
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Sometimes I wonder if I do.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47I was given a short cut through the woods from the station, but I've gone wrong somehow.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50All right, I'll show you the way.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Why, thank you.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56We'll...do the other thing, then.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Bye.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- Bye.- Bye.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02It's William, isn't it?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10I'm your great-aunt Augusta, and you can take me all the way home with you.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12All right.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So you haven't got a wooden leg?
0:18:27 > 0:18:29No.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Have you?- No.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38How are your family?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42Well, Ethel's horrible.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Robert STILL can't get a girlfriend.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49The new electric toaster's a disaster. And it's going to be the worst summer ever.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54Well, I don't know where you children get the idea that life's supposed to be enjoyable.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57William knew they were not that far from his house,
0:18:57 > 0:19:02but he was in no hurry to reach home and share the hideous contents of his report.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08He was sure there was a solution to his current problem, if only he could think of it.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Why didn't you take the bus?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13I'm not spending good money on a bus fare.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17So are you a bit mean?
0:19:17 > 0:19:20SHE LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- Are you sure this is the tie your aunt gave me?- Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25How does it look?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Spectacular.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Good.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33It seems an awfully long way.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39I'm not putting off getting home because I don't want to see my parents or anything.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43I'm not suggesting that you were.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Haven't we been here before?
0:19:52 > 0:19:57No. We're lost. This wood goes on for miles and miles and miles.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59People have sometimes been lost for days.
0:20:00 > 0:20:05They once found these two skeletons of people who were lost, and they looked all...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Oh, dear.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Let's try this path. It might be the right one.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15No, I'm exhausted.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- All right, I'll go.- No!
0:20:18 > 0:20:23We must keep together at all costs.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25But I need to stop for a while.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28I know! We could leave a trail.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30A trail of what?
0:20:32 > 0:20:33I could tear this into little pieces.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35All right, dear.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Since it's a matter of life and death.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Is it something you can spare?
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Yes.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Righty-oh, dear. - I'll tear it really small.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51CAMERA CLICKS
0:20:51 > 0:20:53CAMERA CONTINUES CLICKING
0:20:54 > 0:20:57HE GROANS
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Don't worry. It's all right, the road's just down there.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Oh, I'm so glad. What a relief!
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Yes, it's a huge, big relief.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What was the paper you tore up?
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- My school report.- You tore up your school report for me?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I'd rather lose my school report than have you starving to death.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Was it an especially good one?
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Well, we aren't allowed to look at them.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33But I think it was quite something.
0:21:33 > 0:21:39But if it was bad, that would be a rather brilliant way of disposing of it.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43You don't miss much, do you?
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Of course, we could always pick up the bits and stick them together.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54No, that wouldn't work, because there might be a double O, from "good,"
0:21:54 > 0:21:56and it might look like it came from "poor."
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Good answer.
0:21:58 > 0:21:59Thank you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03So have you got a lot of money?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Yes, I suppose I have.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Do you always find people trying to get their hands on it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Yes, I do rather.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Can I have some?- No, you can't.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17Although I'm impressed by your honesty.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21So there we were, completely lost,
0:22:21 > 0:22:26and your dear boy went ahead to explore.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32Nervous of us being separated, he tore up his school report to mark a trail,
0:22:32 > 0:22:36despite the fact that he was so looking forward to you reading it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38So it was a good report, was it, William?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40We aren't allowed to look at them.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45But we both think it was probably quite something.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I've got to go now. I have some urgent business with the Outlaws.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52That's a nasty wound on your arm, dear. How did you get that?
0:22:52 > 0:22:57I got a vicious bite from the duck I was trying to save from drowning.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59The ducks can be ferocious around here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Fibbing little tyke!
0:23:03 > 0:23:04THEY LAUGH
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I see you dug out the tie I gave you.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Well, it was the least we could do.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Why do you think I'm wearing the brooch you gave me?
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Oh, lovely! Thank you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:33It was Mr Bott's turn to discover that William lived by a simple credo...
0:23:33 > 0:23:37Doing good, righting wrongs,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39and pursuing happiness.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- If you burn 'em, we've got more. - What are you going to do with them?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Just show them to people.
0:23:47 > 0:23:53That's a contract, signed in all our life's blood.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54It actually hurt quite a lot.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Painful.- It did, really painful. - But we thought it was worth it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:04- It says we'll keep the photos safe as long as you let Bob Andrews stay in his job.- You know what?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Blackmail is a dirty little word.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- Ginger...- I'm not giving in to it.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15We've got some more of you eating cake.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24All right! He can keep his job. Now go away!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Who's in there with you, Daddy?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Don't tell her we're in here.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- We'll go quietly.- Is it someone I can play with, papa?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34No, there's nobody in here, Violet Elizabeth.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I can see you!
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Wait for me!
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- You've got your job back, Bob! - Oh! Thank you very much!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Don't be scared! I'm only a girl!
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- I'll walk you to the station, Auntie.- Thank you, dear.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- Don't worry, I won't go on for ever. - I hope you do.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Goodbye, William.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Bye.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Thank you, dear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Ahem!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Do you need me to lend you some money?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57No, thank you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Funny thing you getting lost in the woods, William.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02You know every inch of them, don't you?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So what was your report really like?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We aren't allowed to look at them,
0:26:08 > 0:26:10as I think I've already said.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Thank you for helping out with Aunt Augusta.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Your mother and I aren't greedy,
0:26:16 > 0:26:21But it might be nice one day to reduce the mortgage, which is a millstone round our necks.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22I don't know what that means.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25No. Quite right.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31So I suppose we'd better let you off your tutoring in the summer holiday.
0:26:41 > 0:26:47Is it because you couldn't bear the thought of having me around the house all through the summer?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Mainly, yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The summer holiday was nearly here,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00and suddenly the prospect was deliriously exciting.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Morning, Jumble.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09William had everything.
0:27:09 > 0:27:17His friends, his dog, his village, enough enemies to make life interesting, and time on his hands.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22As long as he didn't run into Violet Elizabeth or girls in general, he'd be all right.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Oi! What have you got in there?
0:27:25 > 0:27:31- Oh.- Hello.- Hello.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- We've just moved in. I'm Dorinda. - William.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36It's a rat.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40On the other hand, some girls, clearly, were more acceptable than others.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Incredible!
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Terrific!
