- Has the general sent you ?
- Yes, lady.

She isn't a lady.
She's a sister.

- How old are you ?
- Six to eleven.
:17:30
What did you say ?
:17:32
I can remember that I'm six,
:17:34
but my father married
my mother 1 1 years ago...
:17:37
so that I may probably
be about ten.

Sister, the schoolroom
is overflowing with children.
:17:44
We've nothing unpacked yet.

No one understands the language.
There are too many of them,
and they smell.
:17:49
- I don't know what to do.
- Why don't you tell them
to come back later ?
:17:53
- Start with the older ones.
- They won't go away.
:17:57
- Oh, why not ?
- They were paid to come,
so they can't go away.

Sister, the general's clerk
has orders to pay everybody
who comes to my dispensary.
:18:07
- So they all want to come.
- Excuse me, Sister, may I suggest ?
:18:11
- Yes, Sister ?
- Wouldn't it be a pity
to send the children away ?
:18:14
- They were paid to come.
- But if they like it,
they may come again.
:18:18
What can you do with them ?
They look very stupid to me.
:18:21
Remember, they can't speak
a word of Hindustani or English.
:18:23
Joseph can.
:18:26
You'll help us,
won't you,Joseph ?
:18:29

and make a reg/ster.

You can hardly
call that a lesson.
:18:43
You can call it
a very sensible idea.

Thank you, Sister Blanche.
