00:00a bore if you ask me well you would say that wouldn't you come down five minutes tops and
00:06then we can go to breakfast you too glenn no thank you you won't have this at finishing school
00:12you won't have friends like us
00:14i'm hardly dressed for paddling well if you two won't join us you wouldn't
00:24no one
00:54I'm heading straight to the library. No distractions today.
00:59Daryl!
00:59Oh, Felicity! I've missed you. Did you enjoy your holiday?
01:04Yes. June and I had the most fun.
01:05I slept in your room. I hope you don't mind.
01:07Of course not.
01:09Clarissa, Susan, Josephine, how was your journey?
01:11Daddy let me travel by train.
01:13You've got so thrilling.
01:14She insists that we play 20 questions the entire way here.
01:19Nancy!
01:19I'm so happy not bad.
01:23Oh, welcome back, girls.
01:25Unpack and head to the dining hall for refreshments.
01:30Daryl, a quick word?
01:31Uh, yes, Miss Groening?
01:33I wonder, can you organise an activity for the third form, please?
01:38Get the sixth involved, too. Something fun, but educational.
01:43Is there a problem?
01:45Uh, not at all. Leave it to me.
01:49So much for no distractions.
01:51We'll think of something.
01:53Come on.
01:54Come on.
02:03I was hoping that you might be able to ask my father to sign that for me.
02:08In the governor's meeting today, it's my application for finishing school.
02:11Is finishing school really the sort of challenge that you need?
02:20I don't want to be challenged.
02:24Uh, can I have some sugar, please?
02:26Besides, my mother's always wanted me to attend.
02:29It's very important, now, that I find the right man to marry.
02:33I want to.
02:33And what is important to you?
02:43Um, may I?
02:47Marriage and starting a family are great commitments.
02:51And as for challenges go, Mr. Parker will tell you, babies are hard work.
02:58One step at a time.
03:00You're a bright girl, Gwendolyn.
03:02I do wonder if you should explore other opportunities, ones that could broaden your horizons, perhaps give back to others.
03:16Well, you grew up at Mallory Towers and you stayed here.
03:20Ah.
03:20I have travelled in my time.
03:24Worked away from here.
03:27During the Great War, I was a Wren.
03:29You were in the Navy?
03:31Yes.
03:32It was my way of showing support for my country and doing what I could.
03:37And with your determination, I just think you have such great potential.
03:44Well, thank you.
03:46But I do think it would be unfair on my parents for me to change my mind now.
03:52Ah.
03:53Well, if it's been decided, who am I to argue?
04:00But it is your responsibility to get your father to sign this.
04:04And once he has done so, I will add my signature.
04:08And I don't mean to alarm you.
04:11Deadline is quickly approaching and you wouldn't want to miss it.
04:16I have no idea what activity to do for the third form.
04:21Being head girl is such an honour and I love it.
04:24I sense a butt coming.
04:25I have no time for myself and I need every spare minute I can to revise.
04:30Well, let's get some help.
04:32Girls, any suggestions for an afternoon activity?
04:35Um, lacrosse?
04:37A cookery class?
04:39No, thank you.
04:40What about a spelling competition, like the one you did in Canada?
04:45A spelling bee?
04:46That's a great idea.
04:48A round-robin competition for spelling.
04:50It's super fun and it's educational.
04:52Felicity, you're top at spellings.
04:54Let's do that.
04:55Thanks, June.
04:56I'll let Mr. Parker know and set up the hall.
04:58Great.
04:58We'll gather the troops.
05:00Spelling?
05:01Won't Daryl struggle with her word-fine-ness?
05:03Oh, that's behind her now.
05:04She's spent years learning strategies.
05:06Don't worry.
05:07Father, I need you to sign this.
05:20Well, good afternoon to you, too.
05:22Mum, what is it?
05:24My application for finishing school.
05:26Not now, Gwendolyn.
05:27Miss Grayling and the others are waiting for me.
05:29No, if you don't sign it now, then I'm going to miss the deadline.
05:31Come on.
05:37Well, you haven't written a single word.
05:41It'll require a personal statement alongside a recommendation from a board member or former
05:47attendee of an accredited finishing school.
05:49I'm not putting my name to something this incomplete.
05:52But, Father...
05:53We'll discuss it later.
05:53Participants, please take your seats.
06:07I'm just going to check on Mary Lou.
06:16Mary Lou?
06:17When?
06:18Are you here to join us?
06:19I need to borrow Mary Lou.
06:20You must come with me at once.
06:21The dispelling bee's about to start.
06:24I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate.
06:25You need to help me with my form.
06:27I can't just leave.
06:29Daryl.
06:31You know that I'm not one to plead, but you would be doing me a great favour if you were
06:34to let Mary Lou off her duties.
06:36It's up to Mary Lou.
06:38That is very noble of you, Daryl.
06:40Let's go.
06:40We haven't got much time.
06:41They're required.
06:42Right.
06:58Let's run through the rules.
07:00You will each take turns to spell out a word aloud, which you will need to state letter
07:06by letter, clearly and distinctly.
07:09Incorrect answers will result in immediate elimination, no consulting with one another,
07:15and the last girl standing wins.
07:18Understood?
07:18Yes, Mr. Barber.
07:20We should mention the time deputy head girl, and list my responsibilities.
07:30Which are...
07:31Well, sometimes...
07:36What does Daryl do?
07:40Well, you can't lie.
07:42Well, how about...
07:42I support the head girl when required.
07:45That's lovely.
07:46Oh, shall I mention that I'm fluent in French?
07:49They're like that.
07:51Um, maybe stick to your strengths?
07:53Needlework.
07:54Directing the school play.
07:55Yes.
07:56That should impress them.
07:57Now, I just need to think of a recommendation.
08:01Well, didn't Bill say her mother went to finishing school?
08:03Yes.
08:04I must find her.
08:06What's about your personal statement?
08:07You just continue making notes, and I will finish it afterwards.
08:14Be back in a jiffy.
08:22Incorrect, I'm afraid.
08:23Clarissa, please take a seat with the rest of your room.
08:28Alicia.
08:31Alleviate.
08:31A-L-L-E-V-I-A-T-E?
08:39Correct.
08:43Daryl.
08:46Parallel.
08:48Par-ra-l-el.
08:53P-A-R-A-L-L-E-L.
08:59Correct.
08:59Correct.
09:01Sally.
09:05Outrageous.
09:06I told Felicity, you have nothing to worry about.
09:09What do you mean?
09:10Your word blindness.
09:11She thought you'd struggle, but you're acing it with your technique.
09:14Correct.
09:21Felicity.
09:21Felicity.
09:21Felicity.
09:24Succession.
09:25S-U-C-C-E-S-S-I-O-N.
09:31Correct.
09:38Bill!
09:41Bill!
09:44I will never understand why you don't just leave that up to the stable boys.
09:48I want to spend as much time with Thunder as I can before lessons start again.
09:53Lovely Thunder.
09:55Isn't he lovely?
10:01That's merry legs.
10:03Thunder's inside.
10:04Anyway, what are you doing here?
10:05I need a recommendation for my form.
10:08Be a dear and ask your mother to sign it for me, please.
10:11My mother hardly knows you.
10:13Well, just tell her that I'm a good friend.
10:14No, I'm busy.
10:18Please, Bill, you only live a short ride away.
10:21Doesn't Thunder need to stretch his legs or something?
10:23Sorry?
10:23I can't apply without a recommendation and father won't sign us until it's complete.
10:29Honestly, Gwen.
10:30So, is that a yes?
10:35All right.
10:37But, seeing as we're such good friends,
10:41I'll go if you finish mucking out Thunder's stable.
10:47Hmm?
10:53Crikey.
11:00You must really want this.
11:09Incorrect, I'm afraid.
11:11Sorry, Nancy.
11:15I'll be introducing a timer.
11:17On these final rounds.
11:22A timer?
11:23Now the competition really begins.
11:25I didn't plan for a timer.
11:27Will you be all right?
11:28Yes.
11:29It's just that you hate being rushed.
11:31Whenever we play board games at home,
11:33she refuses to use the air timer.
11:34This is hardly a board game, Felicity.
11:37But you don't like time for...
11:38I'll be fine.
11:42Please stand.
11:45Ten seconds on the clock.
11:46Ten seconds.
11:48Just focus on the strategies.
11:50Ready?
11:52Alicia.
11:53Consensus.
11:57C-O-N-S-E-M-S-S-U-S?
12:06Correct.
12:08Darragh.
12:10Quadruple.
12:11Quad...
12:11Q-U-A-D-R-U-P-L-E?
12:19Correct.
12:20Sally.
12:21Analysis.
12:21A-N-A-L-Y-S-I-S?
12:29Well done, Sally.
12:30Just in time.
12:32Felicity.
12:34Mediocre.
12:35M-E-D-I-O-C-R-E.
12:41Correct.
12:42Alicia.
12:43Farrah.
12:45P-H-A...
12:49R-A-O-A?
12:52Correct.
12:53I can't concentrate.
12:54It's getting so distracting.
12:55I hate it.
12:56Orangutan.
12:57Orangutan.
12:58Orangutan.
12:59Orangutan.
13:00Orangutan.
13:05O-R-A-N.
13:07Felicity.
13:08That was Darryl's word.
13:09Sorry.
13:10I thought it was my turn.
13:11Let's take a break.
13:12We'll reconvene in 15 minutes.
13:14Thank goodness.
13:15I need water.
13:17Did you do that on purpose?
13:19No.
13:20I don't need your help.
13:22Darryl, it was a mistake.
13:23Honest.
13:25I'll get her some drinks.
13:34Gwen.
13:36What are you doing?
13:38Um, Bill has lumbered me with her chores for a minor favour.
13:44Here.
13:45Let me help.
13:48I thought I was worse.
13:50This or the fish that I'm delivering?
13:53Definitely this.
13:58So, what's the favour?
14:01It's a signature for my application to finishing school.
14:05Finishing school?
14:06It's an establishment for fine young ladies in Switzerland.
14:10But you're already at school.
14:12No, this is different.
14:14I'll learn how to be a fine young woman with eligible bachelors falling at my feet.
14:19I'll learn about social graces.
14:21Like, um, wardrobe management.
14:24How to get in and out of cars.
14:26Um, how to walk.
14:28It's all about refining oneself.
14:30Sounds a bit strange if you ask me.
14:33And you've walked perfectly fine.
14:35There's nothing wrong with you.
14:37That's kind of you to say, but there's always room for improvement.
14:41Well, I'll be refining myself by going away too.
14:45I'll be joining the army.
14:47For my national service.
14:50Oh.
14:52Well, I'd better get the fish to the kitchens.
14:54You're still here.
15:02I thought you would have gone the second I left.
15:04A deal's a deal.
15:06So?
15:07Well, lucky for you, my mother was home.
15:12Thank goodness.
15:14You're welcome.
15:15Daryl, you're doing that thing with your hands.
15:26Then they're clammy and you're nervous.
15:28Are you sure you're all right?
15:29I said I'm fine.
15:31Settle down, everyone.
15:32We'll start where we left off.
15:41Daryl.
15:43Exquisite.
15:45Exquisite.
15:48E-X-Q-U-I-S-I-T-E.
15:54Correct.
15:58Sally.
16:00Conscientious.
16:02C-O-N-S-C-I-E-N-E.
16:12I'm sorry, Sally.
16:14You're out of time.
16:19Felicity.
16:21Maintenance.
16:24M-A-I-N-T-E-N-A-N-C-E.
16:29Correct.
16:30For the only reason we see, who is it?
16:34Alicia.
16:35So?
16:40S-O-V-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E.
16:46I mean, E-I-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E-N-E.
16:48I'm sorry, Alicia.
16:50You're out of time.
16:50It's a battle of the River Sisters now.
17:01Come on, Dara, you've got it.
17:09Gwen, my personal statement.
17:11Here, I've finished it.
17:12Oh, Mary Lou.
17:13Just don't forget me when you moved to Switzerland.
17:16I could never.
17:17Now go before your father leaves.
17:20Father!
17:26Wait.
17:27Wendy, what on earth?
17:28My application, it's finished.
17:29Do you have a pen?
17:32Truth be told, I'm not entirely convinced finishing school is the right idea.
17:37I think you should focus on your higher cert, and we can maybe apply next year.
17:41Next year?
17:43Mother is expecting me to go now.
17:45I'll talk to your mother.
17:46But you said that I could go.
17:48No, I said I'd think about it.
17:50I have worked so hard on this.
17:55Gwendolyn, enough.
17:57There'll be no more talking on the matter.
18:02It's for the best.
18:03Species.
18:23Species.
18:24S-P-E-C-I-E-S.
18:29Correct.
18:32Necessity.
18:34N-E-C-E-S-S-I-T-Y.
18:38Correct.
18:42Phenomenon.
18:45Phenomenon.
18:45Uh...
18:46Sorry.
18:48Uh...
18:49Uh...
18:50Uh...
18:50P-H...
18:52Uh...
18:52Sorry, Daryl.
18:55You're out of time.
18:57Felicity.
18:58Spell the next word correctly, and you'll win.
19:02Liaison.
19:17L-I-A...
19:18L-I-A...
19:19Out of time!
19:28And we're still tied.
19:30Back to Daryl.
19:30Sorry, Mr. Parker.
19:31One moment, please.
19:34That was definitely intentional.
19:35No, I tripped over the letters.
19:37We both know that's not true.
19:38Sorry, Mr. Parker.
19:39Felicity is deliberately trying to lose, so I win.
19:42Why would she do that?
19:43I...
19:44I just thought...
19:45What?
19:46You don't think I'm capable because of my word blindness?
19:48Please don't...
19:48Can you stop being so condescending?
19:51Daryl.
19:52Sorry, Mr. Parker.
19:53Can you please reset the timer and give Felicity another word?
19:56I think we should just take a second.
19:57Please!
20:00If you insist.
20:03Ready?
20:10Right.
20:14Onomatopoeia.
20:15O-N-O-M-A-T-O-P-O-E-I-A.
20:25Correct.
20:27We have a winner.
20:28Congratulations.
20:29Congratulations.
20:37That was so brilliant.
20:51Did your father sign the form?
20:52Um, thank you for helping me.
20:55I really appreciate it.
20:56Well, you did the hard work.
20:58Mocking out and getting manure in your hair.
21:00You deserve to go just for that.
21:04He did sign the form, didn't he?
21:07Yes.
21:08Yes, of course.
21:09Um, I had better head to Miss Grayling to get it approved and posted.
21:14I'll leave you to it.
21:15I do deserve it.
21:25Charles Lacey.
21:47Lacey.
22:05Daryl, I'm so sorry.
22:07I should be the one apologizing.
22:09I feel rotten about how I spoke to you like that in front of everyone.
22:13It's unbearable to think that you wouldn't want to do your best because of me.
22:16I was only trying to help.
22:17But why?
22:18I don't mind you winning.
22:20It's just...
22:21You seemed so annoyed.
22:23Yes, and myself.
22:25You were right.
22:26I mean, working under the timer terrified me and I panicked.
22:30Was it your word blindness?
22:31No, it's...
22:32It's not just the words anymore.
22:33I just need time to think.
22:36What happens today is me worried about my exams.
22:38I mean...
22:39If I panic again, it's over.
22:42That won't happen.
22:43No matter how hard I revise, it doesn't make a difference if I'm against the clock.
22:47I should just give up.
22:48Don't have what it takes to be a doctor, clearly.
22:50Daryl!
22:51If Mother and Daddy could hear you right now, they'd be so upset.
22:56Rather be honest than disappoint them later.
22:58That's nonsense.
23:00If you managed your word blindness, you'll find a way to manage your exams too.
23:04You just need to use different strategies.
23:07I don't know, maybe use an alarm clock to revise?
23:12Doesn't quite work like that.
23:14You'll find a way.
23:16You always do.
23:18And you.
23:20Just because I'm your older sister doesn't mean I always need to come out on top.
23:24You must always try your best.
23:26Even if that means beating me, alright?
23:29Deal.
23:30I won't spare you next time.
23:32I'll beat you at everything.
23:33Steady on.
23:34Saw some things you can't beat me at.
23:35Like...
23:38I'm bigger, stronger, and faster than you.
23:41So run!
23:42I'll even give you a head start.
23:44Go!
23:44Go!
23:44Go!
24:05Go!
24:15Go!
24:15Go!
24:15Go!
24:16Go!
