t mind terribly, do you? He is a nice boy. Yes. I see now where he gets it. You're pretty too. No wonder that wretched Ballard named his rose after you. Not that he's got a chance of getting the cup from me. Well, so long as we're going to be relatives... ...the least you can do is to offer me some tea. - Well? - Oh, yes. Yes, of course. "So Alice sat on with closed eyes... ...and half believed herself again in Wonderland. With the grass rustling in the wind... ...and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds... ...the tinkling sheep bells, the voice of the shepherd boy... ...and the lowing of the cattle in the distance. She pictured to herself how she would keep through all her riper years... ...the simple and loving heart of her childhood... ...and how she would gather about her other little children... ...and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale. Perhaps even with a dream of Wonderland." - They're asleep. - Good. - What time is it, darling? - Ten to 10. Going to have your coffee now? No. I think I'll have a little smoke first. Anything you want from the house? No, I don't think so. I'm not going to risk my life for your knitting needles again. No. I've got them with me. Fine barrage tonight, isn't it? It gets better each time. I can't hear any bombs, can you? No. I suppose they're saving them for the aerodrome again. Yes. And the county hospital. Well. - My laundry come back? - Tomorrow. Tomorrow. Oh, no, you don't. You ought to patent that, Clem. It saves us from suffocating. - See this new idea? - No. What is it? The latest in gas detectors. If there's any gas, the gauze turns green. Does it stop the gas from coming in? If you see this gauze change color... ...grab this, shut it with a bang like that, see? - Then what happens? - Then we suffocate. - Biscuit? - Thank you. Mrs. Miniver's best. - Ada wasn't much good at coffee. - She was awful. Still, she was a good cook, as good cooks go. And as good cooks go, she went. Still, Ada will be a tower of strength in the tank corps canteen. Closer. I wonder what Toby would do if he lost that cat. I daren't think. I suppose that's the way to be really happy. Be with something that you just can't live without. Or someone. Isn't that getting a little long? Vin says they like them long in the air force. Isn't it nice they're getting back for the flower show? Yes, isn't it? - Did you find out when their train arrives? - 11:45, I think they said. Good. I am glad they went to Scotland for the honeymoon. It's so beautiful. Yeah. That's a bomb. They are going for the aerodrome again. - Have you finished with this, darling? - Yes. It's a lovely story. I wonder if Lewis Carroll ever dreamed it would live forever. - You know, it's the first story I ever read. - Mine too. Really? "How she would keep through all her riper years... ...the simple and loving heart of her childhood... ...and how she would gather about her little children... ...and make their eyes bright and eager with many a strange tale." "Perhaps even with the dream of Wonderland of long ago. And how she would feel with all her simple sorrows... ...and find a pleasure in all her simple joys... ...remembering her own child life and the happy summer days." The happy summer days. Napoleon's all right, darling. He's gone under there. - Mommy? - Yes, dear? They nearly killed us this time, didn't they? It's all over, darling. It's all over now. - Hello, Mother. Hello, Dad. - Hello, darling. How have you been? We had a wonderful time. Good-looking bride you've got, boy. - Hello, Mother! - Oh, my God. - Good to see you again. - Wonderful. Carol, sweet. - Don't I get a kiss? - Certainly do. - Did you enjoy yourselves? - We had a lovely time. We fished and rowed and sailed. We had a lovely little cottage and a Mrs. McLorry to cook for us.
