:11:02
After the armistice,
people were dancing and singing forjoy...

:11:06
in the streets, but...
:11:08
Hugh was one of the flowers of the forest...
:11:12
lying in his grave.
:11:24
What seems to be
ailing the spirits of...

:11:26
Monica Maclaren,
isn't it?

:11:28
Monica cries easily.
:11:30
Well, Monica, perhaps you can
tell me why you are crying.

:11:33
She's moved by a story
I have been telling...

:11:35
of the Battle of Flodden.
:11:37
Crying over
a history lesson?

:11:40
It is a moving story.
:11:42
The night before Flodden,
at Mercat Cross beside St. Giles...

:11:46
a ghostly herald was heard
reading the names...

:11:49
of all the noble families of Scotland
beginning with the king.

:11:52
After the battle,
there was not one family...

:11:55
who had not suffered
grievous loss...

:11:58
as you well know,
Miss Mackay.

:12:00
To be sure.
:12:03
Well, girls, I know you're all
going to work hard...

:12:06
at every subject
this year.

:12:08
A good beginning
makes a good ending.

:12:10
I hope you all
had splendid holidays...

:12:13
and I look forward to reading
your splendid essays...

:12:15
on how you spent them.
:12:17
You shouldn't be crying
over a history lesson at your age.

:12:20
My word.
:12:32
Thank you, Janet.
:12:37
Good morning,
Miss Mackay.

:12:45
You may sit down, girls.
:12:50
You did well, Monica,
not to answer the question put to you.

:12:54
It is well when in difficulties
to say never a word...

:12:57
neither black
nor white.

:12:59
But you did,
Miss Brodie.
