I thought he came over quarter.

- That they had told me.

- They were wrong.

- Are you Mr Boggis?

- Yes, and you're Junker Tolly.

- In my memory you were smaller.

- That was me too.

- I have grown.

- Yes, that is of course true.

Mrs. Oldknow had to pick himself up,

but leave the RAF.

They left this morning to know.

- Your grandmother is glad you're coming.

- Really?

Put on your coat do not?

Well, all right.

- We have heard from Mr. David.

- He is not dead, though.

That was not even in the telegram.

He is just missing.

Missing, yes of course.

- How's your mom?

- It's all right, but she is busy.

She tries to find out where he is.

She went to London.

That will, yes.

We get down quick message.

If you are taken prisoner,

does anyone know all that.

- Bye, Tolly.

- Hello.

- I still call grandma?

- What did you have in mind?

No idea. Mrs Oldknow?

Keep it with Grandma.

I wanted to pick up,

but I'd rather leave them alone.

- Do you mind if they go?

- Oldknows are happy in themselves.

We packed. They put

everything back, that's probably wrong.

- That'll be fine.

- I hope it was you.

You have the building demolished as others.

That the house had probably not allowed. Goodbye.

- Do all soldiers go home quickly?

- We still need a lot of arrangements.

- Most will be home soon.

- Ready to go.

Well done, thank you. Again goodbye.

- Do you know Mrs. Tweedie yet?

- Hello.

He does not know anymore, the last time he was still a spring chicken.

- This is Bismarck.

- He knows you yet.

- Come, I'll take you to your room.

- Please.

- How long do you work here?

- Too long in order to stand still.

Do you like it here?

Oh, yes. It is a strange old house.

But it is our strange old house. That's what my father always.

He was always talking about this house.

Come down when you're done.

Do not worry, he's still alive.

I am a bit worried.

If you do not mind.

Sit down.

- Who were these people?

- This is your family.

But they are dead. Your family is

yet from people still alive?

So do they stuck in Manchester,

but not here in the south.

Have you ever been?

- As far as I know.

How come

much of the city you know?

Has your mother

a place to stay in London?

I know its not you,

just do not like.

I did not.

Check it out.

Here is bread for toasting.

There hang the forks.

Call it if you still need anything.

- Thanks, Mrs. Tweedie.

It's not that I did not,

I know its not good.

You did not think he married her.

- No.

Was that because of her origins?

- Certainly not.

That you have written.

The letter said that the leaves

still not allowed to sweep the driveway.

If you are angry,

sometimes exaggerate a bit.

He do not show the letter.

- He did not, I have found it.

He should keep him.

- He keeps all of your letters.

I was scared

Green Knowe they would not understand.

She had such a different background than we do.

It is no longer important.

- Why not?

I can not be much longer stay.

- What happened?

Nothing, but the world is changing.

I do not have enough money for this house.

- You may not sell.

Maybe I have no choice.

- It has never sold.

Until now, no.

Well almost. She brought us to the brink

of the abyss.

Mrs. Thomas Oldknow?

Same name as you?

Not quite.

That was Mary Raymer:

A Dutch, grew up in India.

She's in Kolkata

Captain Oldknow married.

Green Knowe was determined after its boring

exotic youth. Get your own sugar?

What is this? It's different.

- This was Maria's new wing.

Which is built

so she could entertain her guests.

Want to leave

because Dad is missing?

No, you should not think.

If I could avoid it,

I would do.

He said this house

section of your member.

It is a part of us all:

Your father and you.

You know the house yet,

and you know me either.

It's difficult for you to understand.

- Then you know me either.

You burn your bread.

Hello?

They look like jewel boxes.

- That they were.

For the jewels of Maria Oldknow.

She lay down before the fire.

What fire?

- In the new wing.

Grandma said she

Green Knowe almost lost.

Mary was rich anyway?

- She had no money.

Her father was a diamond merchant,

her money was in jewelry.

That she can sell.

- Yes.

But when the need arose,

they were all stolen.

Would she have wept

when they were gone?

Why?

- Do you have?

I think so that we would do.

She took the blame the captain.

Did she have children?

- Yes.

They had a son, Sefton ...

... And a daughter, Susan.

You descended from Sefton.

What a strange name.

You called Toseland

So you really can not say anything.

Sefton was nice?

- No, he was selfish and spoiled.

The door in the dining room,

with the brick wall ...

... Was that the way to Maria's wing?

- Yes.

These can be found be fun,

He was your father.

I've made pajamas

when David had pertussis.

So they could ill together.

I am really too old for that.

- Yes, I know.

I thought you'd enjoy it,

because he was your father.

Susan was just spoiled and selfish?

- No, not at all.

You could not spoil her.

- Why not?

Enough is enough.

Good night.

It's really a boy from Manchester.

- I wanted a good school for him.

I wanted to pay his entire training

but that did not.

Why not?

- She did not want him looking down at her.

So selfish.

His interest is still paramount?

His father was with her.

- Because he was hypnotized.

It does him no harm,

he's pretty smart.

She wants to control everything.

I did not fall, that's a fact.

Why she kept away.

He could only come

because she had to.

That was the same with David,

she could not share.

Could you do that?

Is that you, Sefton?

- How can you on your own on the road?

You could fall and your neck

break. What would you say?

I say little more, I think.

- Not so brutal.

Back to your room right now.

- But Perkins, I only spoke with ...

Is it Sefton?

- There is no one, Miss Susan.

What are you doing down there?

It had better be important.

Are you sick?

No.

- What is it?

Do you believe in ...

- In what?

In ghosts. Do you believe in ghosts?

Of course. Not you?

I am now.

- Oh, I understand. Who was it?

It was anticipated

after all these questions from you.

Go to sleep, you get cold.

Want some warm milk?

Mrs. Tweedie told me about the fire

told. Walked to where the wing?

Beyond the cedar. Which is planted

after moulting statins were interrupted.

A large dining room, a lounge,

bedrooms and the layers above.

The house seems so big enough.

I go into the oak tree climbing.

- Be careful.

Is that you, Susan?

A trail of Sefton. We make it

clean and put it in another.

Is there a painting of Sefton?

- That is there.

Boggis, the Christmas tree in the

put music room. It's a mess.

We can clean up later

and then the tree rigging.

It does not, though.

- No, I do it.

Sefton Why hide this?

He did not,

S was someone else.

The J was of someone

that Susan's life changed.

But not everyone saw him happy

at Green Knowe appear.
