You're So Very Clever to Have Found This

(A piece of waste land amidst gravel pits forms a corner of an English version of a trailer park in Buckinghamshire (now Berkshire) not far from the river. A patch of muddy grass, worn away to earth in front of the converted railway carriage sheathed in stained white cladding. Clothes flap from a line

The inside of an old railway carriage.)

I must say, what a marvelous place to live! All this... space

Might be better if we had electricity

(laughing)

What do you use, oil lamps?

That's right

How romantic

Smelly, more like

(WARD makes an expansive gesture.)

You're so very clever to have found this

The air is so much sweeter in the country

Afternoon tea

Under a tree

Close your eyes, and you could be in

Bridlington-on-Sea

Caravans are absolutely charming

Anywhere you go, your home goes with

You've so much freedom

The world's your oyster

The open road rolls by

What more could anybody ask for?

The woods, the birds, and the sky

It's not a caravan, it's an old railway carriage

Well - same principle!

I couldn't do without somewhere in the country

I've a little cottage by the river

I like to go and stay there at the weekend

Warm breezes blow

Friends come and go

As the sun is setting, the champagne begins to flow

(He turns to MRS. HUISH, CHRISTINE's mother.)

Why don't I take Christine down and show her?

I could bring her back sometime this evening

It's a two-seater

Or I'd invite you

Maybe another day

Won't you give me your kind permission

To take Christine away?

You look far too young to have a daughter

Old enough to be a shorthand typist

She's so delightful

A credit to you

You've taught her grace and charm

Think of me as her guardian angel

I'll keep her safe from harm
