And whatever have I done to you?

If you really want to know and I think you are just a..

Arlette wins by 5 points

Arlette Tesserau fences well, don't you think?

Not bad at all,her catch is better than her defense though

You are interested in fencing,Mr Dickson?

I used to be a long time ago

You criticize my defense?

But you can't contest it.Perhaps you can give me a hint or two

No I'm afraid

Or don't be afraid

No,no,I suppose I'm afraid my fencing days are over

All right,come on

I won't make it too difficult for you,Mr Dickson

En garde

I'm sorry about the interruption

Not at all

His fencing days are over

Who I got to thank for the flowers?

Can you stand up,please

So I see

Thank you very much

You can all sit down

Arlette

Yes,Mr Dickson

I am sorry,I forgot to stand up

That's all right,why are you late?

I found I had a ladder in my stocking so I went upstairs to change it

You seem singularly unlucky with ladders,don't you?

Find out about the book I want,in my room

you'll find a book called "Art in the Renaissance",go and get it for me,will you

With pleasure,Mr Dickson

To go along where we left off last time

Michelangelo was only 24 years old when he created

what is perhaps the most moving

the most spiritual overture and most beautiful of all his works

Pieta

Quiet

I am so sorry

I didn't know

Why did you bring it into the class in the first place?

Because when we break at 11 o'clock there is a talk on the home service

How to control your temper in trying circumstances

As I was saying..

There must be something wrong with the switch

Put that in my study at once

I wouldn't say she exerted a particularly good influence over the the other girls

She seems to resent discipline

Her mother died when Arlette was very small

she's been neglected and been very much on her own

She has probably being spoiled

She has and surrounded with material luxury

Her father is Jacques Tesserau

Oh,the art dealer

He has a large house in London but spends most of his time abroad

And Arlette has met the strangest Continentals

You see, Tesserau is an entirely self made man

He has this uncanny flair for antiques which has brought him a fortune

And he is clever enough

to want his daughter to acquire at least some of the education he lacks himself

I see

So Arlette is now handed on to us

And I feel we must do what we can do to help her

Try and make allowances for her,Mr Dickson

Of course,I'll do my very best

I'm sure you'll do,I'm sure she'll respond to you

and if she doesnt improve

and you still think that I should have a talk with her,well I'll gladly do so

Thank you so much,Miss Hallam

I hope I shan't bother you again

-Nice day,Miss Euston -It is

All right,Mummy,I'll go

-Hello -Hello

Hello Patricia

How much have you managed to practice this week?

Only two hours a day,I'm afraid,Mrs Dickson

And one hour of that devoted to scales and exercises

There is awful pieces and exercises,how my hands ache

I know especially your little fingers

I think we have some tea before we get started

Thank you

Hi,Pat I have been invited to Arlette's house on Sunday,have you been asked?

No fear of that.We are as about friendly as a snake and a mongoose

I don't know really why she asked me

You are going to?

She lives in Mayfair,I looked up the street in the guide book

No I don't want particularly to go

especially after that awful radio business in class

I can't make her up,Pat

She is beastly to Daddy and she asks me to her party

If I refuse to go it might make things even more awkward for Daddy

I can see that

She might think you are taking side

I do think I ought to try defend each after Daddy's sake

Does he knows that she has asked you?

No I am not going to tell him

Ghee,what a place

Miss Arlette is expecting you, you come upstairs

How lovely to have a millionaire as a father

Is he a millionaire? A real one?

I do not know how real but you can't run a place like this on peanuts

This way please

It's a really lovely house

It reminds me of some place

I've got it, a lady's restroom in Radio Cinema

Hello,mes enfants,you are early, I haven't finished dressing yet

What will you drink?

Drink what you like

Let me see

Grand Marnier

I'd rather drink tea,Arlette, if you don't mind

Tea? How English.But for good. You are the Professor's daughter

Good Afternoon,Hedges is Monsieur Tesserau at home?

No,Sir,he is in Paris,we don't expect him back until tomorrow night

It doesn't matter I just want to collect a little Picasso

Yes,that little picture he left for you upstairs

Is Miss Arlette at home?

Just for the weekend,Sir

she is entertaining some of her school friends to tea

I write a note for Monsieur Tesserau

Don't bother Hedges,I know my way

Yes Sir

Are there your brothers?

Brothers? I have no brothers

These are all silly young men who think they are in love with me

They amuse me

Perhaps they really are in love with you

No.Then they would no longer be amusing

But your lips are terrible,you have no lipstick on,come here

I never use lipsticks

Then you must start.Sit still

You have nice lips,you know

Doesn't your father like red lips?

I don't know,he would like me

Perhaps he'll change his mind anyhow

Who knows?

Girls come over here

Watch.I'm turning this child into a woman

That's more akin to turn a row boat into a yacht

She will learn

First you must look different, people behave how they look

She looks jolly attractive anyway

Maybe it is inherited Arlette

Wonder why you said that

Now what do you think of yourself,Miss Dickson

I look like someone else

Yes

Dead Arlette you never was there..

La,la,la

Henri .And who said you could come in here?

You did my sweet I knocked and you said yes

or does your yes mean no

No

No so often means yes

Will you please give this to your father when you see him

Arlette.Won't you introduce me?

This is Henri Sinclair. A friend of my father

He is not to be trusted

Jenny Jill Virginia

Ivy Avice

Charmante

How is the baby?

Julie,she is my promised debutante

Her father is the new master

You have a master?

Exactly

The fellow has my deepest sympathy

Julie,what does this tune reminds you?

A very cross Daddy,he should laugh more your father

He is much too serious

But he is not only in school

But I have only seen him in school so far

Come Ivy let's dance

I am afraid I am not a very good dancer

I don't know any steps

It's only the first step which is a bit tricky the rest just a question of rhythm

Yes that's what my mother says

Your mother,she has taught you the importance of rhythm?

Oh,yes she is a marvelous pianist

Oh,I see

You like music?

I love all the arts,I'm a painter

Dad has written books about pictures and painters

His daughter would make a lovely portrait

I have a studio in Chelsea, would you come and sit for me?

I don't often come to London, only with Mummy on holidays

It's you I want to paint not your mummy

I am in the telephone book, my name is Henri Sinclair
