Woman In White movie - I Hope You'll Like It Here lyrics
rate me<br>
(Limmeridge House. The morning room-light and summery. <br>
Marian Halcomb is there. She is in her 30's-dark, <br>
vivacious and attractive although not conventionally pretty. <br>
Hartright enters, tired after the night's exertions. Marian shakes his hand)<br>
<br>
HARTRIGHT<br>
<br>
You must be Miss Halcombe-I'm so sorry-<br>
<br>
MARIAN (interrupting him)<br>
<br>
Thank God you have arrived<br>
you're fated to become <br>
my drawing teacher<br>
you poor creature<br>
Our village is as dull<br>
as it may first appear<br>
a city mouse in Limm'ridge house<br>
I hope you'll like it here<br>
<br>
You're les than half the age<br>
that we thought you might be<br>
you'll feed our hunger<br>
for someone younger<br>
so please unpack your bags<br>
and please be of good cheer<br>
I'm sure you'll like where you reside<br>
but with respect I must confide<br>
I can't abide the countryside<br>
I hope you'll like it here<br>
<br>
You shall be the drawing master<br>
to my sister and me<br>
though she learns a little faster<br>
a disaster I will be<br>
We're the product of one mother<br>
but we come from diff'rent fathers<br>
I think mine, for design<br>
was completely talent free<br>
<br>
Very soon you'll meet my sister<br>
well, she's tech'nic'ly my half<br>
but she's my whole world-my sister<br>
is the wheat and I'm the chaff<br>
She's kind and generous and fun<br>
much younger, and the pretty one!<br>
<br>
My father was quite poor<br>
her father's wealth was vast<br>
so she'll inherit and gladly share it<br>
We're close as two can get<br>
Between us not one tear<br>
perpetually in harmony<br>
I hope you'll like it here<br>
<br>
Pretty soon you'll meet my uncle<br>
whose prognosis is quite grim<br>
he will tell you that his chances<br>
of recovery are slim<br>
With his bed pan and his hanky he is terminally cranky <br>
though no doctor around<br>
found a thing that's wrong with him<br>
<br>
But how do I go on<br>
I try to keep it short<br>
then lose the battle and simply prattle <br>
but getting to my point<br>
my welcome is sincere<br>
We're thrilled that's indisputable<br>
I hope your rooms are suitable<br>
your sentence is commutable<br>
I hope you like it here<br>
<br>
<br>
