Enid Page #2

Synopsis: Edwardian child Enid Blyton begins to tell stories to her brothers as an escape from their parents' rows before the father deserts the family. Whilst training as a teacher after the Great War she sends her stories to publishers, one of whom, Hugh Pollock,takes her on and also marries her. They have two daughters but Enid is a terrible mother, letting a nanny rear them whilst she, ironically, bestows treats on anonymous children who worship her for her stories. She is completely self-absorbed,driving Hugh to drink and then to another woman. Enid uses the children as emotional blackmail to get a divorce on her terms before marrying Kenneth Waters, a weak man similar to her father. After World War Two she is as popular as ever, despite accusations of using a syndicate to pen her books and will carry on,adored by children who do not know her true nature, for another twenty years and her death in 1968.

voice, as can be heard.

"His eldest daughter was babysitting?

Oh, yes, from day one.

Otherwise, there were no

able to complete any work.

I must say, I think it is very difficult

cope with them

when they are so small.

I imagined that

would do better, frankly,

but seems not to know

what to do with them.

Well, do not worry.

Most women

feel they are

failing in some way.

They imagine that everybody

manages extremely well.

- Of course you do not.

- Well, it's a relief. Come to visit.

See? It is absolutely terrifying.

Right, Bobs?

My God, how did that happen?

Well, I am a midwife, that helps, but

really is just a matter of confidence.

It is a beautiful child.

I guess it's pretty good, right?

But it's so bad.

Just a week.

And it's stubborn, you see.

A baby of one week

no concepts ...

Believe very much in making piles

of fresh air invigorating.

When not in her stroller,

will be here in the room.

Among the four and five

children spend an hour

me, unless, by

course, is in London.

What do you think?

It seems very clear.

Well, I'm glad.

And please call me Dorothy.

I will,

and you shall call Enid.

Mail your fans.

Oh, lovely. Lots.

"We get into the new book?

Oh, it's a waste of

time. You do not have

prove that you have read

everything I've written.

How charming.

Would you mind sharing the joke?

Es ..

Do not worry, do not understand.

That's the sound of a happy baby.

Is not it a blessing?

- God, I hope to stay with Dorothy

us forever. - Who is Dorothy?

For the love of God, Hugh,

know who he is. The Nanny.

Oh, now is Dorothy,

Right? Very cozy.

Not be foolish, Buns.

It's my new friend.

- I thought I was your friend.

- Still are.

Tonto.

- Let's make the proofs

within minutes ... - Who is "us"?

Dorothy. It helped me as

corrective "The Adventures of Bobs."

I see. So it's a

and a trained babysitter

- Qualified proofreader.

- Leave protest, Hugh.

Look! There is still light outside. We play

a game of French cricket?

- No, thanks.

- Come on.

If not, I'll write a story about you:

"The Horrible Hugh hating fun."

Come on, come out.

You win.

Almost. Not good enough.

Come on.

You are not allowed to approach

More. You have to

from where you caught.

Come on, Hugh. Yes!

Six for me! Six for me! I do.

Come on, Hugh.

Come on.

Pen ... Pen.

"The chair was raised in the air,

flapping their wings heavily

"And headed for the door.

"When he left high rose

in the air immediately.

"Children remained strong

tied, the largest of the joys.

"Thank God

was back all right!

"Good, old chair of desires,

"What would you do without it?"

He had a good life, Enid.

He believed that the veterinarian

said it would be nice.

No. No, he did, honey.

Said ...

"Bobs is playful today.

"I know what happens.

"Do you know?, Has hidden

one of my slippers,

"Has stolen a sausage from the kitchen,

right in the face of the cook

"And he has chewed a brush

of teeth to crush.

"Then he started to

laps around the house as if

was a puppy, and has drawn

at my feet like a gift.

"And not even lunchtime.

"It's a very naughty a**hole."

- Do it, do it yourself, do it yourself.

- Do you want a drink?

I would take one.

Thank you, Hugh.

Try loading. I

see you do it again.

Gillian no, no. Come on.

Come, let us again then. Come.

Come on.

Smile. So. Very good.

Enid, here it is.

Hugh! For the love of

God, how you been?

Sorry, I'm not

permanently available, Enid.

- I have to work from time to time.

- Well, hurry.

- I'm almost ready.

- Stay here. About me.

Closer. No, closer, baby.

According ... Girls, now, perhaps

This time, yes, look at the book.

Look what I write,

as if, you know, as if you

- I was reading to you.

Agreed. - Ready, big smile.

And Hugh, trying to smile, please.

- So okay?

- Come on, then.

Faster, faster, faster.

My poor father.

He would have loved

see the girls grow.

When did your mother?

Erm ... Not long after

that I go away from home.

She would have liked

housewives were small.

That's what he wanted me to be.

My father ... he was different. "

It was ...

He really hoped things.

It was brilliant. Funny.

You could totally trust him.

Perfect, really.

Perfect.

For the love of God.

It has been a little difficult lately.

He believes that there will be another war.

Nonsense, I say.

Well, is working on a book

with sr. Churchill, right?

He is obliged to meet

that sort of thing.

Yes, but is so pessimistic.

It's hard for men

of his generation, Enid.

Are not really

recovered from the last war.

His nerves still

are broken into pieces.

Yes, but was so

elegant when I met him.

It was so strong.

So true ...

... And so much fun.

Probably getting

a brave face, do not you think?

- It's my turn. Now. Come on.

- Come on, girls. - It's not fair.

Nanny, can you take to

girls in immediately?

- The noise is quite unbearable.

- Come on.

Tea. More tea.

What do you mean

your father was perfect?

In what sense was

perfect? I left, Enid.

Yes, my father is dead, Hugh.

Perfect, flawless.

A father deified

you left without even

look back.

You told me yourself in one, we must

recognize, rare moment of candor.

I know you're not too

fond of the truth.

I know I prefer the

bunnies and picnics and talk

- With bloody rag dolls.

- You're drunk.

I'm sorry.

Let me remind you of

where this goes.

And let me remind you that I make a

negligible contribution, Enid.

I see your idea of success is

directly related to the amount of

mail your fans

receive, but some

we have to go to

office every day.

- Yes, but my books, pay for all this.

- Who ordered your books, woman?

Your contribution was secondary, Hugh.

If you think that meant something

only a slight effect

in my success, you must be crazy.

- Enid! - My father was twice

of a man than you'll ever.

Never forget that.
