  “Again, there's a reassertion of virility in these Olympics. He's called "the gallant goalkeeper," "the goaltender of Mafeking." So, a sports analogy becomes part again of this imperial "the goaltender of Mafeking."”

  “Italian stories. A little princess. But Dad, we just got back to London. Sweetheart, would you have me stay while our motherland needs us? When duty calls, we move, we march. That’s my little princess. Here we are. Ah, Captain Crewe, there you are, you’re late. We shall start the interview now. What is it? Oh, I didn’t think there would be an interview. I thought I was here to pay the tuition. Well, do interview her if you must. That is so generous. Now, no interview will be necessary. I will certainly take care of her placement. Until then, please join us for tea. This is your room. Do you like it? Yes, thank you very much, Miss Minchin. Such lovely manners. I’ll let you get settled. So, this is it, sweetheart. But oh, I don’t feel so brave. Sweetheart, do you think you could share some of your courage with me? Yes, Dad. Do you feel better now? Yes, thank you. Now, wave to me from the window. And so, Captain Crewe left his little girl and went to war. Miss Rose will help you get settled. How are you, Miss Rose? How are you doing? Um, hello miss, is there anything I can do for you? How dare you enter without knocking? Oh, I am so sorry, miss. No problem, the door was open. What is your name? I advise you not to waste time with the help. Becky, do you like my toys? They are very beautiful, miss. Then you can come here and play with them. We could even play house together. Ah, let's go have breakfast. I want you all to write an essay on the topic "my greatest dream." Let’s see how good you are. Only 5 minutes. Oh, look what I’ve done. It wasn’t you, it was Lavinia. Tell her. I am very sorry for my clumsiness, sir, but I can recite my essay aloud if you like. Very well, go ahead. My dad says a dream is not what we see when we sleep. True dreams are those that keep us awake to be everything our heart wants us to be. And my heart? My heart would like a lot of smiles and endless laughter to give to anyone in the world who needs them. I dream that I can send a smile right now to my dad. Far, far, far away. Beautiful, Sara, Lavinia, you should learn from her. Friends. Oh, come on. Child, it’s time for your riding lesson. Hello, Professor George. Hello. What is the problem? Daisy, you don't look well. Oh, is there anything I can do to help? Perhaps you could stroke her lovingly like this. That might comfort her. We need a doctor and a blanket. Oh, you find the doctor, I'll get the blanket. Sara pulled out her favorite blanket for Daisy and stayed in the stables. All night, comforting the poor sick animal. There, there, she's fine now. Really? And you, young lady, are the main reason why. How so? Sometimes we forget how much animals need love too. Great job, doctor. Great job to you too. Did you spend the night in the stables? How unseemly for a young lady. But enough arguing. Your father sent a letter to you and me asking me to organize your birthday. Your father will send the money as soon as he arrives in Mafeking. Oh, a letter from my papa. Stop shouting like a hooligan. Take her inside. Yes, ma'am. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear. Now I have something for you. Becky, this is for you. Miss, it's the first time someone has brought me a gift. Thank you, I picked this out for you. Oh, Becky, this doll is beautiful. A doll all your own. Will you let me play with her? Oh, yes. I fear Captain Crewe is missing. He went in alone to save his battalion, but he didn't pay for his daughter, Miss Minchin. Eh, sorry, eh, it's just the shock. Thank you, Miss Rose. You will have to talk to Sara. Not today, ma'am. Today is her birthday. I have no time for the whims of spoiled children. If you don't tell her, I will. Sara, your father went behind enemy lines. Oh, but my papa is so brave, he must have defeated them. I know, I know, I know, I know. I think so too. Did you tell her? Yes, Sara, you can no longer have this room. We spent so much on your birthday. You are in debt to us, so we must keep your things to pay for it all. Miss Minchin, be thankful I'm not throwing her out on the street. Miss Rose will take a few days off starting now. Sara, come with me. From now on, you will stay here and help in the kitchen. I won't need to study anymore? And so Sara worked hard. Good morning, Mrs. Cook. You have a lot of work to do, you little klutz. No lunch for you today. You take my lunch today. Shouldn't you bow and be good? Oh, good morning, ma'am. You spilled the juice. I'll have to complain to the cook. In that case, allow me to file your complaint. Young lady, are you alright? Oh, yes, of course. I brought you this. You know what? Let's pretend we're all having tea, and there’s cake, pudding, lemonade, and warm sandwiches. Sara, Miss Rose, you're back. This is where she made you live. Oh, this is my palace, and I am the princess. This is my throne, and this is where I enjoy imagining this is a warm, fluffy, soft, and beautiful bed, filled with my favorite teddy bears and dolls. You don't even have a fireplace. Yes, that's the hardest thing to imagine. But when I put my whole heart and mind into imagining bright yellow and orange flames dancing on the wood, I don't even notice it when I go to sleep. Oh! Sara! Another troop of soldiers has been sent by B. F. King. Oh, do you think my father might be there? He was at the war in Mafeking. Please, please, take me there. I know he’s there, please. Where is your mother, child? My apologies, the child is completely out of her mind. If your father were well, he would have let us know. What if he’s wounded and couldn’t? Enough. Ah! Oh! I must go, I must go. Sara, Sara, Sara, we don't know who he is, he's unconscious. Transfer him to the London hospital. We can't take care of him here. Yes, doctor. Where is the little girl going? Police! Police! Excuse me, sir, my father must be inside there. Are you alone? Sara, Sara, Sara, Sara, come back here, Sara, Sara. Driver, wait. Go home right now. Let me go, let me go. Are you Sara? Yes. Come with me. Sara. Sara. Dad. Oh, Dad. Sara, my my little princess Sara. And Sara’s life became happy again. But come to think of it, Sara had never really let herself be beaten by sadness and helplessness, had she? All this because I had used the true human spirit, capable of being brave and kind at the same time.”
