have been able to get out this time.
Now, who's Greta ... your stepmother?
No, that's Cora.
Greta was hired to teach me German, but ...
well she stayed on and we sort
of became best friends.
That was Greta I just called ...
She's great!
She understands exactly how
I feel about everything.
I don't go for cold, calculating
krauts, myself.
Oh, Greta isn't cold ...
and she isn't the slightest
bit calculating.
I prefer them small and elfin ...
the kind that do funny little dances
when they think nobody's looking.
Tea and toast ... alright?
Oh, haven't they any muffins,
Muffins is out of season, miss.
Oh ...
Then we'll come back when there's
an 'R' in the month.
- That's a definite order.
- Yes, sir.
- Now ... milk?
- Mmm, yes please.
Sugar?
Really gotta go now ...
Ellie ... did you say you were
going back to London?
- That's right.
- Know the road?
- Yes
- Pity.
- Why?
show you the way.
Oh ... well actually, I have got a
terrible sense of direction.
Good, come on then.
I turn-off here ...
Goodbye, Mike.
Oh look, if you like I can ...
No, no, it's alright I really
can find my way from here.
Look, I don't suppose there's any
chance of seeing you again?
I don't know.
That's just the trouble,
I never seem to know.
I said I might call back again in
at that antique place
at Market Chadwell.
Yes!
Mike, let's meet at Gypsy's Acre ...
I'd like that ...
- On the eighth.
- What time?
Three o'clock, sharp!
And afterwards we'll have
muffins at the Crown
because there's an 'R' in next month.
That's a definite order, Mike.
I'll write.
And don't forget my
Green Shield stamps!
'Scuse me, sir ...
are you Mr. Rogers?
- Yes.
- A telephone call for you ...
Oh ... thank you!
Hello?
- Michael!
- Ellie!
I'm sorry ... I just couldn't
get over in time.
- Ellie, where are you?
- Rome.
I really am sorry, I was looking
forward to it so much.
So was I ... but it's alright
now you've phoned.
Listen ...
Greta and I have managed to
persuade Cora and Uncle Frank ...
we're gonna have my
party in London.
- What party?
- Oh, some silly party ... on Friday.
So best if I don't see
you 'til the next day.
- Why?
- You don't mind, do you?
Because, Mike ... something
really exciting's happened ...
I'll tell you when we meet.
Ok, when?
Well what's wrong with
Saturday morning?
Ten-thirty.
Ten-thirty, where?
Where ... ? On the embankment
by the Festival Hall ...
I think even I can find that!
Mike!
Mike!
Mike!
Mike ... it's me!
Mike, I'm sorry I'm late ...
What's the matter?
I'm sorry, Mike!
Couldn't have told me could you?
Might have made it too easy for me ...
You just don't know what
what it's been like!
Being the world's sixth richest girl?
Well that's not my fault.
Anyway, it's not true ...
much more like the sixteenth.
Oh, makes a fat lot of difference
once you're in that league!
No wonder you didn't
ask me to the party.
Oh, I just couldn't face
being cross-examined.
They've screened and checked every
single man I've ever wanted to date.
It's like I told you ...
Cinderella in reverse.
Until an out-of-work, rental
car driver, came along ...
- Oh, Mike!
Fenella Thomsen isn't the
same as Ellie Thompson ... not for me!
before I find my self saying
'I have my pride, you know!'
Look ... I have my pride
too you know.
Only, I don't believe in
standing on it.
- You're crying ...
- I am not!
It's an allergy.
I'm allergic to pollen and horses
and cats ... and some men!
'Specially proud, stupid men!
Who haven't even got the sense to ...
order me a glass of water or something
so I can take my medicine!
And who haven't even got the sense
to realise I'm in love with them.
Oh ... that is the worst coffee
I've ever had in my life!
There's no future in it, Ellie.
Maybe not ...
but we'd neither of us ever
It was different then.
It's different now!
That's what the party was all about ...
I'm old enough to do anything I want ...
Anything ...
Mike ...
I went to see your friend, Santonix.
Greta and I went from Rome ...
You're right, he's a wonderful person,
and he'll build you a wonderful house!
Yes, well we can forget it ...
because I heard this morning
that Gypsy's Acre's gone ...
someone's bought it.
Mmm ... I know ...
I have!
Thank you ... thank you very much!
Please don't go, Mike ... please, please.
You see ...
I never met anyone like you before ...
Never.
- I know not of any lawful impediment ...
- I know not of any lawful impediment ...
That was where our life together began ...
in that tiny township in
the Welsh mountains.
Where the only newspaper men around
were there to cover the sheepdog trials.
And English was only the second language.
Dear Mum ...
Sorry to let you know after the event ...
but I got married, last week.
She's lovely and sweet, and I'm afraid
she has an awful lot of money.
Honeymooning on the continent.
Love, Mike.
Why keep a house in, so to speak?
Why not make it a part of the landscape?
To be joined with it whenever you like.
You arrived at the same
idea by instinct, Mike.
Can I see inside?
No. Please, please ...
not until I show you
you must leave me
something up my sleeve.
How long before we
can live in it?
It has to be very soon,
Darling Ellie. If only because ...
personally, I'm very
short of time.
The ice-cream man cometh ...
Now, that's your turn now, Mike.
What happens when
They think I'm touring
Scotland with Greta.
They'll blame her as usual.
And they'll do anything they
can to break Mike and me up.
What can they do?
Try and buy Mike off.
Like Gina Barretti's parents
did with her first.
Gina ... wasn't that the girl who married
Mmm ... and he got half a million
dollars to divorce her quietly.
Isn't that marvellous?
I've not only collected
but I can trade her in for
solid cash anytime I want.
Thank you, Miss Thompson,
that was great!
The honeymoon's over, Darling.
Time to pack our bags
and face the family.
Michael, I'd like you to meet my
stepmother; Cora Walker-Brown.
How do you do, Mr. Rogers.
How do you do.
Her husband, Reuben.
Hello, there.
Aunt Beth, and Uncle Frank.
Well sir, I feel called upon to remark ...
that the news conveyed
to us so belatedly constitued ...
We were shocked!
And Mr. Lippincott ...
Dear Uncle Andrew.
Of course, he's not
really my Uncle.
I am that figure of fiction;
the family lawyer.
- How are you, Michael?
- How do you do, sir.
the only element missing.
- We were never even informed.
- Thanks to Greta.
