You there, which way to Pepperinge Eye? Couldn't say, sir. It said on the wireless to paint out the signposts in case the Nazis drop in. I'm not a Nazi! I'm a British officer. That's what you'd say if you was a Nazi, isn't it, sir? Drive on, corporal. Sorry to give you so many, but you do have six bedrooms. No trouble. Anything to get the poor things away from those terrible bombings in London. What about us? - Yes. What is your name? - Rawlins, ma'am. Rawlins, Rawlins... Yes, here we are. Carrie. Charles. Paul. You're for Miss Price. I'm expecting her in. I won't be a moment. Please don't touch anything. Call out the air force Call out the tanks From the cliffs of Dover Call out the gulls And don't forget the loyal territorials But who's digging in here Who will defend Every inch of England No matter what they send Who's standing firm In our own front yard The soldiers of the old Home Guard That's who The soldiers of the old Home Guard We wrote the story of the old brigades We know the glory of yesterday's parades Who's standing firm In our own front yard? The soldiers of the old Home Guard That's who The soldiers of the old Home Guard - Halt! - Carry on, sergeant. Captain Greer, sir, from headquarters at Tidbury, here to check military preparations in the area. Tell them Pepperinge Eye has matters well in hand. Nevertheless, I... What on earth is that? Good morning, General. I received your message, Mrs. Hobday. I assume my parcel has arrived. - It's in the office. - How lovely. - Who is that? - Miss Price. Splendid woman. Her late father served with me. What's she burn in this? It smells like sulfur. Ridiculous! One can't make motor fuel out of sulfur. Here we are. Another object from Professor Emelius Browne in London. Thank you. - Is it what you expected? - I imagine so. Prof. Browne sent you a cat last time, did he not? Yes. - Professor Browne is well? - I haven't the faintest idea. Are we to have the pleasure of meeting him? I very much doubt it. I don't know him personally. - Was there something else? - Yes. Would you come this way? - I'm very anxious to get home. - Come along, please. Get down, Charlie. Stop it this instant! Children, this is Miss Price. Carrie, Charles and Paul Rawlins, all the way from London. - How do you do? - How are you, miss? The government are trying to evacuate children into the country. - Very sensible. - Today they sent us 45. I've had to find homes for all of them at very short notice. These are the last three. All right, children. Pick up your things. You're not suggesting I take these children into my house? - Exactly. - That's quite out of the question. Children and I don't get on. I'll believe you, miss. Come on. Back to London. Be quiet. Besides, I have important work to do. Miss Price, you do have that entire house to yourself. According to the order of the Ministry of Civil Defense, you have no choice. I see. If that is the case, I shall take them into my house with the understanding that you find another home as soon as possible. Fine. Come along. Good morning, Miss Price. There they are. Miss Price, what a charitable thing you are doing, taking in these poor unfortunates from the city. - Hold this very carefully. - I wonder if I may drop by later. Why? We have their spiritual needs to consider now, do we not? That won't be necessary. They won't be with me for long. My parcel, please. Bring your things inside. - Bit murky, ain't it? - Yeah. Not another house round here for miles. Wipe your feet. Big place, this. Who else lives here? I live alone. It suits my purpose. All right. Come along, everybody. Sorry, miss. The cat startled us. No need for alarm. You just frightened him, that's all. Yeah, he's scared to death. You can see that. What do you call your cat? I don't believe in giving animals ridiculous names. I call him Cosmic
