Peter : [rushes into the lake to break up the fight between Anna, Casey and Cluny] Are you all right?
Casey Brown : Yeah. Yeah, I'm OK... I'm fine!
[holds her eye and trods out of the lake]
Peter : [holds Cluny and Anna each by the arm] You two ought to be ashamed of yourselves! Two against one!
Bobby : [on the shore] Yes! And what will Grandmother say when she finds out?

Lady St. Edmund : [Lady St. Edmund and Casey have gone into the garden to look for the gardener, Mr. Gidding] Gidding? Gidding?
[see the gardener bent over a rose bush, trimming it]
Lady St. Edmund : Mr. Gidding! I would have a word with you. I thought I made it quite clear that there were to be fresh roses on the landing every morning!
Priory : [disguised as Mr. Gidding, the gardener] Your orders? I don't give a hoot en hoot about your orders, the roses come first!
Lady St. Edmund : Oh, do they indeed? You know, you used to be a good, pleasant gardener. But in recent years, you have become fairly tiresome and crotchety!
Priory : Oh, that's the way, is it? Crotchety, am I? If I known we going to thoroughly examine my character, I would have washed my hands and put on my Sunday best!
Lady St. Edmund : Gidding! We are discussing the roses!
Priory : Now, that's enough of that! You two go off and toodle over the property and I'll take care of what I do best!
Lady St. Edmund : Mr. Gidding!
Priory : Here here! Now see here, I'll trim my roses as I see fit!
Lady St. Edmund : Your roses? Very well. If that is your attitude, you are dismissed!
[nods for effect, and her and Casey walk away]
Lady St. Edmund : Priory? Priory!
Priory : [rushes back into the house through the back entrance. The kids are there waiting] Quick, help!
[the children help Priory to get out of his disguise and back into his butler uniform]
Priory : Get the boots, get the boots!
Peter : [Priory has his butler uniform back on and is about to answer Lady St. Edmund] Psst! Psst!
[Priory looks back, Peter points to his eyebrows and mouths the word Eyebrows, meaning Priory still has the fake ones on]
Peter : .
Priory : [Priory quickly takes them off and stuffs them in his pocket, then puts the stale bread bag on the tray he is carrying] Yes, My Lady?
Lady St. Edmund : [breathing heavily] Oh Priory! I have dismissed Gidding. I wish him packed and out of here by this evening!
Priory : I see. Do you think that decision might have been a little rash, My Lady?
Lady St. Edmund : Certaintly not! He was impertanant!
Priory : Oh, that's just his way, My Lady. And may I say, he would be very hard, for me to replace.
Lady St. Edmund : He would?
Priory : Very hard. And I would ensure that he had fresh roses on the landing, every morning.
Lady St. Edmund : You would? Well, I suppose I, might give him one more chance. But you may tell him, that this is positively his last!
Priory : Yes, My Lady. Oh, My Lady, the stale bread.
[hands Lady St. Edmund the bag]
Lady St. Edmund : Oh, thank you, Priory.

Priory : Now Cluny you've already met.
Casey Brown : Yeah, right, I met Cluny.
Priory : Over here, struggling with the churn, is Peter.
Casey Brown : Hi.
Peter : Hello, welcome to Candleshoe.
Priory : This is Anna.
Bobby : [From above] Hey, somebody catch!
[He tosses a jar. Casey catches it]
Peter : Hey, well held!
Priory : [Bobby slides down the column into the kitchen] The acrobatic member of the family is Bobby.
