The Little Princess

Geoffrey Hamilton: Rose, something's wrong. What is it? Rose: Miss Minchin has taken away my Thursday afternoons. Geoffrey Hamilton: But why? Rose: We mustn't be seen together. Geoffrey Hamilton: Does that mean that I can never see you alone again? Rose: 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: 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: 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.
