hwp999, indeed.
I havent heard of such
a number for a house.
Yes?
Forgive my boldness, sir,
but wooden leg or no wooden leg,
you are this childs
last surviving relative.
Her father named you
as guardian in his will.
Yeah. I dont dispute that.
I merely point out
that this house is a shrine
to paleontology.
Theres no corner in it for
a small girl... or her nurse.
We require two rooms.
That is all.
Some of these stones
could go to a museum.
My fossils?
In a public museum?
This has got nothing to do
with fossils.
If you dont want the child,
you should say it straight out.
But shed be miserable here.
My parents are dead.
Id be miserable anywhere.
Smilodon Popularis.
Why dont you just stick a knife
in my heart?
Theyre all magnets for dust,
and that big cat
was plain unpleasant.
Its a saber-toothed tiger,
Nana.
Its lovely.
An armadillo skeleton!
Goodbye!
I keep a pack of women
in this house!
There isnt one of them about
anywhere when theyre wanted!
Oh! Darling Gum!
We werent expecting you.
Oh, ship sank... iceberg.
If you dont mind me asking,
what have you got in the bag?
Ah. A surprise.
Lets hope its not
another fossil.
The worid is full
of entrancements, woman.
Not all of them
are made of stone.
A baby?
Found it...
floating on a lifeboat.
Both parents drowned.
Awful bloody shame.
A baby? A baby just like that?
What will people say?
Have you no regard for
your great-nieces reputation?
Well, I-Ill put
a notice in The Times...
"Professor Matthew Brown adopts
entirely unrelated child."
- But, Gum...
- I thought women liked babies.
They like babies that are in
good order... babies with names.
Ah.
Well, I thought perhaps Pauline.
And surnames.
Fossil.
Its not as though weve got
an empty room to put her in.
You dont mind, do you?
Gum, I came here
with nothing once.
Thats the spirit.
Where are you actually going?
Siberia.
Ill bring you back a souvenir.
No. Not another one.
Mm.
Red Cross hospital
outside Vladivostok.
Mother died when it was born.
What about the father?
Salt mines... worked to death.
Awful bloody end.
Yeah, they called it Petrova.
Needs feeding up a bit.
It is to be hoped
this one has brains.
Its easy to see whos going to
be misplaying in my nursery.
"Dearest niece,
another small Fossil
from your Great-Uncle Matthew.
Daughter of a dancer.
Mother has no money
and no time for her offspring.
She sends a pair
of ballet shoes enclosed."
He says, " I regret
not delivering the child myself,
but I ran into a friend about
to leave for the Galpagos.
Theres enough money in the bank
to last you for five years.
P. S... Childs name Posy.
Unfortunate but true."
Ballet shoes, indeed.
Change of clothes
would be more useful.
Or a feeding bottle.
"To the little Fossils."
"Turquoise for Pauline.
Pearis for Petrova.
Coral for Posy."
Make the most of it.
Thatll be the last we hear
from him for quite some time.
I bet Gum had a car.
Only a man with a car
wouldve bought a house
at the far end
of the longest road in London.
Garnie said he used to
come and go in taxis.
I wish we could.
Id be happy
if they let us get the bus.
The professor may have had
his faults, Petrova.
Might I remind you,
he had but the single leg.
You three have got
a full pair each.
So you can save the penny
and walk and be thankful.
The Rockefeller family
we are not.
At least you get to go
to school.
I still have to do lessons
with Garnie
and take an extra walk
at lunchtime every day.
If I have to look
at the dolls houses
in the museum one more time,
I shall be sick.
Thats enough, Miss Madam.
All over my outdoor shoes.
Then I shant be able
to go anywhere.
Weve had more fuss from
Miss Posy about her education.
Cromwell House is out
of the question, isnt it?
Its not just that I cant send
Posy to Cromwell House.
Give it here!
Get off!
Im having to take
the other two away.
I have to give notice to Clara.
Theres no money left.
Nothing in the bank at all.
Im so sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
Its not news.
Isnt it?
Been looking through
situations vacant in the papers.
I didnt think youd notice.
I brought you up.
I notice everything.
The trouble is, Nana,
unless somebody advertises for
a paleontologists assistant,
Im not qualified for anything.
Theres a way round everything
if you stop and think.
I finished my fractions.
Already?
They were the hardest
in the book.
Shell have to sit there quietly
with her magazine.
You cant be setting
any more sums.
Youve got to go to Selfridges
and get those eiderdowns.
Petrova, darling, would you go?
Youre only reading.
- Good afternoon.
- I like your car.
How are you finding
the acceleration?
Terrific. Naught to in about three minutes.
Is your mother at home?
Oh, we havent got a mother.
And its all right.
You dont have to say
youre sorry.
How do you do?
Ive just come about the room.
Oh, do come in.
Forgive me. I was trying
to clean a fireplace.
I dont know how long Id stay.
Ive only just got back
from Kuala Lumpur.
Petrova! Have you been...
Well, um...
theres no minimum agreement.
Nana,
Petrovas been wearing my...
