Well, hurry along, then.

Don't keep Metcalfe waiting.

Richard.

(hands clasp) James.

Keep the others in line, won't you?

I'll do my best.

(door opens) MRS. HALL: We should be going.

I'll go and check on Helen.

(door closes, footsteps retreating) (footsteps approaching) I can't face the bus stop.

Is it all right if we say goodbye here?

Of course.

I'm only a few counties away, remember.

(voice trembling): Five-- I counted.

I'll write.

And I'll try to call.

As often as you can, please.

I've never been so sure of anything in my life.

Go, before I cry.

♪ ♪ (crying softly) (crying) JAMES: You'll look after Helen?

Of course I will.

Even when she don't let me.

(chuckles) (bus approaching) Won't be the same without you.

Then just make sure it's the same when I come home.

Don't let it change you.

♪ ♪ I won't.

Proud of you, James.

We all are.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in love am I; And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry.

Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun; And I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run.

And fare thee well, my only love!

And fare thee well awhile!

And I will come again, my love, Tho' it were ten thousand mile.

I haven't told him yet.

I'll do it tomorrow.

What's going on?

MRS. HALL: Why don't you give your dad and Jenny a visit?

I wondered if you could come and have a look at a calf.
