It was stupid to let him lie.

- Thank you, Caxton.

If I want your advice,

I ask it to do.

What is that?

Mr. Sefton, I got your bird.

Oh, look at you.

Mr Hunt now on chicken?

Enough, everyone.

- Take him to cook with the rest.

Come on, Jacob.

I'm your mother, I love you very much.

Teach your control, whether it is wrong.

That'll teach him.

- I doubt it.

What we all have to endure

with him.

Take the chicken away, Caxton.

- Yes, sir.

I want from him.

He needs this house.

My father has given him better than me,

How dare he?

How dare he?

Patience, Mr. Sefton.

If we do agree

that dreadful food vouchers?

According Mom is

The first rationing worse.

She's right. It is unfair,

the war is almost over.

If everything was normal again.

- It is not the same, she thinks.

It is indeed different,

but back to normal. Really.

I'm so happy

you have come to stay.

Now you have some memories of the house

for ...

I do have memories.

- Do not be afraid.

The house will

some secrets to share with you.

But fear not.

- I'm not worried.

I'm not sure how I feel.

- Good.

Many people realize that only

when they are at least 40.

You realize it

that death is not important?

What then?

It's about whether there was love you

or not.

That's the thing when you are old.

- Do you believe that?

Yes, really.

You must still cold?

Grandma?

Have you ever seen him

since he is missing?

I have not seen him. He's probably

OK, but if it is not ...

... Then I had seen him up here.

You would tell me, right?

Yes, I told you.

And no, I did not see him.

Well, that's something.

So, here are the messages.

What we could get.

Thanks, Tolly.

- Where is Boggis?

He prunes the bramble

in the garden tower.

Where is that?

- After the arch, left.

Why does he not have a coat on?

- Because he's a boy.

It is nice of Boggis, but if I

rabbit eating more I become one myself.

He continues to inform,

whatever I say.

What a job.

- How did it get this far?

Why is this the tower garden?

- Due to the tower.

What tower?

- That one.

Well, you can not see him now.

When everything is so overgrown

hit?

Where was he used?

It was originally a water tower.

There was a large pool below.

- A bath?

Where you could really take a bath?

- Yes, it sounds crazy.

May I look?

- It's too dark, you see nothing.

I have a flashlight.

It is much bigger.

- A bath was a huge undertaking.

They have dug tunnels and rooms

to celebrations.

Like the Romans.

Then there 's water mains constructed

in the house and it was forgotten.

This was a garden ornament, a folly.

Was that before the fire?

- At least 20 years earlier.

A few days before the fire

it still came in handy.

Why?

- Forget it.

This would be like our old brand,

but it looks disgusting out.

In wartime, we must sacrifice.

Tolly gets by it.

- Oh, yes.

This is a strange old house

In order to stay.

But it is our strange old house.

- That he also said.

Really? Did he really?

I have to sell, I'm afraid.

Finances are not better.

Can not sell stuff?

- Not really.

It is not enough.

- Is there no expensive painting?

We had a Vermeer,

which we now use.

It feels as if I Tolly cheating.

- He is wise.

He will get over it,

He has more on his mind.

His father is still

in his mind.

But that applies to us all.

- Yes.

Who are you?

- Can you see me?

Sure, why not?

Who is this guy?

I think he's family.

That's you?

In a way.

- I know your family, it does not belong.

You should have seen his clothes.

- It's all right.

Maybe he can help.

- What is it?

Fred Boggis has poached.

- Chicken.

Sefton wants to sell it.

- Who?

On the recruiters for the vessels.

- Why?

Crew as they come.

Sefton and Caxton allocate the proceeds.

My father could save him ...

... And he can come back anytime.

Fred is still here.

Caxton keeps an eye on us.

- Where is he?

There are tunnels under the water tower.

- I like him.

Go get some food in the kitchen,

you know if they can see you.

Pardon?

No news on the captain.

- How inconsiderate.

Thus we can

still no menu setting?

That does not interest the Admiralty,

Mrs. Gross.

Yes, girl?

- Do you know anything about Fred Boggis?

Do you know Rose?

Do not have work to do?

Why else would we pay you?

- Yes, Mrs. Gross.

I would like to reassure her love.

Mr. Sefton is hard to Boggis.

I like that.

- Caxton has him stoked.

Caxton misbehaves

if the captain is not there.

He's smarter than his employer,

I think.

That asking for trouble.

He takes a lot of tasks

from the captain.

Shame, though.

What do you do, girl?

I saw ...

It's nothing, ma'am.

I cut my finger.

- Continue with your work.

Yes, ma'am.

I just have to get some milk.

Who are you?

Are you a ghost?

- I can not think.

I'm not dead yet.

I'm not even born.

What?

- Never mind.

I have food needed for Fred.

Will you help me?

Of course. Have you seen him?

Is everything okay with him?

I know not.

What do you think of this pie?

It is not working.

Hide it under your clothes.

That will determine.

- I can try.

What if Caxton and his men see you?

I could see you.

Hopefully they see me.

- Fred to be careful.

That's Rose.

- I'll pass.

Are you down here, Fred?

Are you here?

Susan sends me.

Who are you?

- Can you see me?

Of course. Everybody sees you stuck.

- No one saw me.

What is that?

- It's just a flashlight.

I have dinner with me.

A flashlight?

This is off again.

How does it work?

Please.

- Thank you.

This is the message:

Stay here temporarily.

They will find me,

they have been searched twice.

One came so close,

I could smell his breath.

Next time they gave me,

I gotta go.

The captain can come home anytime,

I promise.

Miss Susan says that?

- Yes.

Okay, count me out.

I though you might regret it.

Keep your secret, and good luck.

Would you lend it to me?

It's getting so dark.

Keep him,

I use it infrequently.

The battery is running low

and you can not buy new.

What is a battery?

- It's a mystery.

Rose said you had to be careful.

- Did they really?

Check it out.

The riddle

of the mysterious light is resolved.

The story so long wast

our history.

Why did I not guess?

As you know, it's obvious.

It was a gift from my father.

Then you both Fred helped.

Grandma? I had the lamp

this morning in my pocket.

But he was already in the showcase.

- That's right.

That can not?

- No, not really.

One thing I do not understand.

- One thing, it? Lucky.

Seriously:
Why do some

people have minds, and not others?

Or only occasionally?

- I do not know.

Perhaps you are open to it.

We get so busy,

that we ignore things.

Some people see them always.

- Yes.

I need some urgent cases to deal

just go for a walk.

See you for lunch.

- Good.

Go with him, Bismarck.

Ah, worthless dog.

Grandma, can I go to the village ...

Do you in all sincerity that even

grievances would end if you are ...

... It is reasonable for this man

Now keep your mouth.
