Enid Page #6

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.

Well, it was all her fault.

Distanced father and took me away to me.

That is nonsense, Enid. He was

a womanizer. Just see a skirt ...

You have no proof!

- This is a mother of invention.

- You have not answered my question.

What did Carey and me?

I did not want to see anything that

reminded me of me.

What?

Everything.

Mother.

All this stifling respectability.

Father's departure.

Sorry, Hanly.

... My husband, coming home soon.

It is working very hard, is a surgeon ..

Anyway, I think it would

better than you do not ...

Perhaps after the funeral.

Will you come, then?

I'm leaving.

Menudo site.

Yes.

Grander than Buckingham.

Yes.

A different world.

A different girl.

Come on, Enid.

It's time for picnic. Come on.

Ah-ha!

Hooray! I won! Maldita

that is, was right behind you!

Poor Imogen, was right at the bottom!

Actually, darling,

Yes, five o'clock.

Check back to your room.

Mommy?

Who was that man

came this afternoon?

- What man?

- And said, "Mom's dead!.

- Did you mean your mom?

- I do not know what you mean, Imogen!

But you said your mother was dead.

How could he be

killed if just died?

Get up and go

bed immediately!

You're left without dinner, and no hours

special morning with father and mother.

What the hell was talking about, Enid?

Dear, dear, dear ...

It is a snake.

It is a snake. How dare you!

How he spoke, Enid?

What, dear? Want?

My mother, ...

.. My mother has been

dead to me since

the day I

left, do not you understand?

And now I really have

died, and the small

Imogen has been spying on me, obviously.

Okay, okay.

Everything is fine, I understand.

Of course I do. Dear,

dry your eyes. Everything's fine.

You need that we send to school.

- It's all I can do.

- Well, I could not

agree more. Always

has been very difficult.

We have spoiled, Kenneth.

You need discipline.

- I'll call the school tomorrow.

- Well, well ...

For the love of God,

if you do not fit there, put

in the front seat.

Plenty of space!

- Sorry, sir. - Just hurry up

we have to catch a train.

Come on, Enid!

- Sorry, sorry.

- In the back, dear.

Imogen, do not be silly. Come on.

- Open the door, please. - Imogen leaves

your mother into the car.

I do not want to come.

Stay here. I'll take.

- People say I do not write

my own books, Kenneth. - What?

- Who?

- Do not know. A man Terribas the newspaper,

Says I have a team of people who

make as

sausages in a factory.

It's so cruel. So unfair.

How can they say such things?

It's ridiculous. You do not know what they say.

Take it.

Have you called your agent?

Why?

As the newspaper.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

- It is taking care of it.

- Okay.

There are ... something else.

- What?

I am pregnant.

Oh, my God.

Wha ...?

- Me neither.

You're amazing.

I have 47 years, Kenneth.

- It's really scary.

What if something goes wrong? - I'll take care.

I always do right? You'll be fine.

You're the most extraordinary

intelligent creatures.

"They tried to remove the burden of

the backs of three children, "

"But they were crying in pain. No, No!"

"It hurts when you would start it."

"They can only lose by going to

Distant Land of Beyond, "

hard roads and trails. "

"Otherwise, you will have

for the rest of their lives, "

"And become more and bigger,"

"Because there is no chance

"Haunted city in Turmoil.

Put it there.

Do you really think this is a good idea?

What?

- I think I should go.

- Oh, do not be silly, Maggie.

I'll be fine. Leave

to be picky. Now ...

There is one.

Wonderful.

Ah. Wonderful.

There's one here. Lady.

Lady!

Kenneth ...

I'm so sorry.

She wanted so much to have a son.

I know what it meant to you.

You must not blame yourself.

Most importantly,

you're still here.

I do not know what he would do if

I had thought of something.

I'll be fine.

Am as strong as an ox.

You must be positive.

Sorry, honey.

Honey, I'm sorry.

It was ...

He was a child, Enid.

Oh, no.

Now ... must rest.

You get some sleep.

All right.

"What are you?"

'Are you one toy? " Leathers asked

Great. 'I have not seen any'

'To be like you. "

'No, do not think so,' said the strange

person, shaking his head. "

'I belong to the old

Carpenter forest '

- 'He made me. " - "What's your name?"

Big Ears asked. "

'I have none, "said

the man nodded. "

'What do you think should be my name? "

"'Noddy I'd say.'"

Ah, look, here it is. What

most charming little boy.

Sweet, right?

See all those letters!

My dear, the revenues are

fantastic, the show is a great success,

and want to return year

comes. What more could you want?

I want people to stop saying that

I do not write my own books, Kenneth!

Mira.

"It is possible that a

person to produce all

1 103

Miss books.

Blyton says he writes. "

"I suggest that you are a liar

and a fraud, Miss. Blyton. "

And, "Why are all the characters

working-class criminals? "

At least that breaks the monotony.

These people are horrible but

should try to overcome this.

I know. But ...

the more I think

Therefore, it seems worse.

What happens to children

they read my books?

Think I'm a fraud.

I think that ...

I cheated.

They say my life is a lie

Kenneth. And I am not a liar!

Of course not, dear,

course are not.

Come on.

'Have you gone back to live here again? "

'And what about my other daddy? "

'What did Carey

and me to offend you? "

1 120

'I do not want to come. "

If you can not beat them join them.

I'm not a bad person, right?

Of course not. Never

heard such nonsense.

By the way, you're very pretty

with the morning light.

Now, go ahead. Criticism

often say about their books ...

I do not care about criticism

who has more than 12 years.

1 127

However, they suggest that perhaps their

books are a bit outdated.

I only care about children.

And they have always

liked my books,

because, well, I understand what they want.

I know the secret sites

who like to escape.

I do not think that changes ever

Right?

1 134

I am sure that no

will, Miss Blyton.

Well,

everything went beautifully.

I think you deserve

something to drink, darling.

What will you take? "G and T?

"G and T?

- Gin Tonic.

- Oh.

No. Yes, please.

Are you okay?

It was, erm ...

I was wondering ...

trying to remember,

the name of my brother.

- Hanly.

- Oh, yes.

Hanly.

How ridiculous.

How could I forget?

- What about the other?

- Carey. - Yes

- Carey's.

- What happens to them?

Should we have this ...?

- What was the drink that mentioned?
