The Little Princess1939

Geoffrey Hamilton:
Rose, something's wrong. What is it?

Rose Hamilton:
Miss Minchin has taken away my Thursday afternoons.

Geoffrey Hamilton:
But why?

Rose Hamilton:
We mustn't be seen together.

Geoffrey Hamilton:
Does that mean that I can never see you alone again?

Rose Hamilton:
Of course not, darling. No matter what Miss Minchin says, we'll find a way.

Geoffrey Hamilton:
I can't understand the woman! What is she so afraid of? Why shouldn't we see each other?

Rose Hamilton:
Gossip, I suppose. Miss Minchin lives for that school and her ideas of pride and snobbishness.

Geoffrey Hamilton:
Fiddlesticks! She's afraid of losing an excellent teacher whom she gets for nothing! I won't stand for it! I'll have a talk with her myself!

Rose Hamilton:
Oh no, darling, you mustn't do that. She'd only discharge us both.

Geoffrey Hamilton:
She might not have the chance if things continue to pop in South Africa.
