Is it?
Oh, a love song.
Oh, yes.
Do you know the song?
Yes. The words
Are traditional,
But the music
Is improvised--
Free variations.
How do the words go?
Well, it's in
The ancient language--
The ceremonial language.
I'm afraid I don't know it
As well as I should.
Try.
Well, it's a bit florid.
"that my lyre...
"were of purest jade,
"with strings...
"of fine spun gold.
"that I...
"might sing...
"with merit...
"of your beauty.
"your hands...
"hold my life,
"my being.
"drop it,
"and I perish.
"but in your heart,
"my love...
"has found a home.
"and it...
Can never die."
"but in your heart,
"my love has found a home,
And it can never die."
It is a lot
Of sentimental nonsense,
Isn't it?
- hello, miss macdaid.
- oh, hello.
Where's Rama?
He's busy.
Ahh!
Didn't turn up yesterday.
What sort of a woman
Is lady Esketh?
Lady Esketh? Why?
The major brought
Her here yesterday
To show her the hospital.
He's out with her
Again today.
Well, you met her.
What did you think
Of her?
I know her type.
Many like her in europe
These days.
Too many for its own good.
Oh. Well, I would say
She's the one woman
In Ranchipur...
That Rama shouldn't know.
Is lady Esketh
Dining out tonight?
Yes, milord.
Her ladyship is dining
At the Bannerjees'.
Mr. Ransome
Is calling for her.
Oh.
Why should I care
Who's calling for her?
Go on, answer it.
Yes, milord.
What's this?
Major Safti's orders.
I hope that blasted native
Knows what he's doing.
Major Safti is the head
Of the state medical department.
Filth.
Her ladyship
Will be ready directly.
May I offer you
A drink, sir?
Yes. Brandy and soda--
And make it strong.
Yes, sir.
How's the patient
This evening?
Much better, sir, thank you.
Thanks.
Hello, Tom.
Oh, hello.
Good of you to come for me.
Are we late?
Oh, no, no. There's--
There's plenty of time.
No, Mr. Bannerjee's
Dinners always begin...
At the fashionable
Half-past 8:
00.Hear you've been
Having adventures.
I am a victim
Of circumstances.
If you didn't drink so much,
You wouldn't always be
Getting into trouble.
Well, at least my weakness
Is wine.
- what do you mean by that?
- you know what I mean.
Listen to who's moralizing.
I suppose that comes
From philandering
Around missions.
I never philander
Around missions,
And I don't philander
Around hospitals either.
Don't be catty, Tom.
I do believe you're jealous.
You know perfectly well
I'm not jealous.
If there ever was
Anything between us,
We both know it's finished now--
Dead and gone.
Then why do you come here
And act drunk
And dictatorial?
Because I see
Something happening
I don't like.
Stop talking
Like a copy book.
It's not becoming.
When are you leaving?
We planned to go Tomorrow,
But with albert ill--
Is he too ill to travel?
No.
Then why don't you go?
You are a beast, aren't you?
Tom, we've double-crossed
Almost everyone in the world.
Let's not start
On each other.
I don't want
To interfere really.
But Rama's my friend,
And I don't like it.
If you only knew
How wrong you are.
He's the one man I've ever met
I haven't been able to make
An impression on.
Are you sober enough
To take me
To the party?
Almost.
Bates.
Bates!
Have they gone yet?
Yes, milord.
They've just left.
Well, get me
My dispatch case.
Yes, milord.
Go on, get it.
Don't just stand there.
And the pen.
Why are you standing there
Looking like a fool?
Your lordship
Didn't dismiss me.
Dismiss you?
You're lucky I didn't
Dismiss you ages ago.
I've put up with your
Infernal impertinence
For 15 years.
Don't stand there looking at me.
If I want you again, I'll ring.
Now, get out.
Yes, milord.
Come here.
Close those.
I suppose you'd like me
To die of malaria.
No, milord.
Well, get out!
Yes, milord.
Just stand still.
They won't attack
If they're not provoked.
Welcome, lady Esketh.
Good evening, Mr. Ransome.
Please.
Some night, you're going
To fall flat on your face,
And people will begin
To suspect that you drink.
Good evening.
It's awfully kind of you
To come, lady Esketh.
Of course, we are terribly
Upset about lord Esketh--
That he can't
Be with us tonight.
Hello, Ransome.
I believe you know almost
Everyone from the palace.
You know raschid ali khan.
Of course.
Yes.
And may I present miss macdaid?
Lady Esketh.
- yes, we've met.
- yes, indeed.
I hope you're enjoying
Your stay, lady Esketh.
- very much.
- how soon do you expect
To be leaving?
Oh. I'm in no particular hurry.
I find it very pleasant
Here in Ranchipur.
There's major Safti.
Excuse me.
Good evening, major.
Good evening. You know
Major remmington? Lady Esketh.
Could I have
A word with you?
Certainly.
Forgive us.
Poor lady Esketh.
She's so frightfully upset
About her husband.
Better have this cocktail.
It isn't as bad as it looks.
Do you know that your friends
Have been warning me
To leave town?
Leave town? Why?
Why do you think?
They feel
I'm a bad influence on you.
That's ridiculous.
Isn't it?
You're not afraid of me,
Are you, major?
Why, of course not.
You wouldn't feel relieved
If I left?
No. As a matter of fact,
I'd miss you.
I've enjoyed your company
Very much.
- I was afraid
You'd take that attitude.
- what attitude?
Lying to me.
But I--
I just told you that--
Don't bother to explain.
You know perfectly well
What I'm thinking,
And I know
What you're thinking.
I've done everything
But fall at your feet,
And you haven't even blinked.
So I think I will
Leave Tomorrow morning.
Please don't leave
On my account.
Not because of what might
Happen to you if I stayed,
But because
Earthquake!
It's an earthquake!
Well, it's all over.
Nothing to worry about,
Not a thing.
Just a slight tremor.
Where is his highness?
He was in there.
What's the matter with you,
Standing there like dummies?
Clear this away.
Get through to that room!
Wire's down, of course.
I'm going to the palace
For orders.
Major--
Come along with us,
Miss macdaid.
They'll need us
At the hospital.
Bates!
Fifteen years, it's been
"yes, milord. No, milord.
Yes, milord."
Well, it's too late now.
We're both for it.
You're afraid.
Come on with me.
Good morning,
Edwina.
Good morning.
Water's still rising.
Look at queen victoria.
What's that frightful row?
Bannerjee.
He says I'm an impious
Barbarian.
But not in english,
You'll notice.
That's India for you.
They've been praying
For the rains all spring.
Now that they're here,
They're praying for them
To go away.
Might be just as well
If we joined in.
Look. It's a boat.
Well, I'm glad someone
Besides ourselves is alive.
Hello!
What on earth?
Why, it's the little
Simon girl.
Your juvenile light of love?
Come to snatch you
From a watery grave--
How sweet.
Come on. Give me a hand.
Easy now.
Thank heaven you're safe.
I didn't close my eyes
All night.
I was afraid
