Oh, dear countess,
pray for me...
...for I have sinned
against meself
and me brother Rodrigo.
You've got to say "sinned"
as if you've really sinned.
Sinned. Sinned.
Rodrigo.
You arrive seeking
the Duke of Lankershire.
Hark ye. Who goes there?
Oh, I forgot the cymbals.
Why it's-- It's Rodrigo!
- Rodrigo.
- I want to be Lady Violet.
I'm exhaustified of
being the boy.
The play is the thing, Amy.
You're too little
to be Lady Violet.
Here,
be the Countess de Montanescu.
You don't have any lines.
Besides, who would
be our Rodrigo?
Gentlemen...
I propose
the admission...
of a new member
to our theatrical society.
Theodore Laurence.
We'll put it to a vote.
Nay.
He'll laugh at our acting,
and poke fun at us later.
He'll think it's only
a game.
No, he won't.
Upon my word as a gentleman.
When it's only ladies,
we don't guard our
conduct in the same way.
We bare our souls and tell
the most appalling secrets.
He would find us improper.
Oh, Teddy would
do nothing of the sort.
Oh, please. Let's try him.
Shall we?
- Jo!
- Jo, you traitor!
Fellow artists,
may I present myself...
...as an actor, a musician...
and a loyal and very
humble servant of the club.
We'll be the judge of that.
In token of my gratitude,
and as a means of promoting...
...communication between
adjoining nations...
...shouting from windows
being forbidden,
I shall provide...
a post office in our hedge...
...to further encourage
the baring of our souls...
...and the telling
of our most appalling secrets.
I do pledge...
...never to reveal
what I receive in confidence here.
Well, then...
...do take your place, Rodrigo.
Sir Rodrigo.
And so Laurie was admitted
as an equal into our society...
...and we March girls could enjoy
the daily novelty...
...of having a real brother
of our very own.
