away. You know how the cause infuriates Mr Banks. Yes, maґam. Katie Nanna, I beseech you. Please reconsider. Think of the children. Think of Mr Banks. He was just beginning to get used to you. Posts, everyone! Four, three, two, one. Fire! -Katie Nanna, I do beseech you-- -My wages, if you please. Bit early tonight, arenґt you, Admiral? Nonsense. Bang on the dot, as usual. How are things in the world of finance? Never better. Moneyґs sound. Credit rates are moving up, up, up. And the British pound is the admiration of the world. - Good man. - How do things look from where you stand? Bit chancy, Iґd say. The windґs coming up and the glass is falling. - Donґt like the look of it. - Good, good, good. Banks, shouldnґt wonder if you werenґt steering into a nasty piece of weather. Banks! Do you hear me? Hello, Katie Nanna. That must be heavy. Allow me. Hmph! What a very pretty hat. I feel a surge of deep satisfaction MucH as a king astride His noble steed Thank you.

What? Well, of course theyґre here! Where else would they be? - I donґt know, George. - You donґt know? Well, theyґre missing. Katie Nanna has looked everywhere. Very well. Iґll deal with this at once. Give me the police station, quickly, please. I donґt think we need bother the police, dear. The facts of the matter-- Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with facts. One fact, and one fact alone is crystal clear! Katie Nannaґs faltered at her post. Sheґs let the family down. And I shall bring her to bo-- Oh. Sheґs left us, hasnґt she? Yes, dear, only just. What, uh-- Yes. George Banks here. Yes. 1 7 Cherry Tree Lane. Itґs a matter of some urgency. I should like you to send a policeman around immediately. The policemanґs here, George! What? Oh, how very prompt. What wonderful service. Thank you so much. Good night. - Come in, Constable. Come in. - Thank you, sir. While going about my duties on the other side of the park... I noted some valuables that had gone astray. - I believe theyґre yours, sir. - Valuables? Come along, now. Come along. Jane! Michael! Winifred, please donґt be emotional. Oh, I wouldnґt be too hard on ґem, sir. Theyґve had a long, weary walk today. Children, come here at once. - Well? - Iґm sorry we lost Katie Nanna, Father. - You see, it was windy. - And the kite was too strong for us. In a manner of speaking, sir, it was the kite that ran away, not the children. Thank you, Constable. I think I can manage this. Actually it wasnґt a very good kite. We made it ourselves. Perhaps if you helped us to make one-- Ah, thatґs the ticket, sir. Kites are skittish things. Why, only last week with me own youngsters-- Iґm very grateful to you, Constable, for returning the children. And Iґm sure that if you go to the kitchen, Cookґll find you a plate of something. Thank you, sir. I shall now return to my duties. Thank you, Constable. Good night, miss. Good night, maґam. Good night, sir. Cookґll find me something. I never-- Iґm awfully sorry about this, George. Iґll expect youґll want to discuss it. I would indeed!
