Your question?

Lord Bradley

Are the British behind these Burmese attacks?

Anna Leonowens

Mr. Kincaid

I know that Burma would never make a move without England's blessing.

Anna Leonowens

Precisely. But, if our economy was threatened, then it would be our duty to protect our intrests.

The ways of England are the ways of the world, my dear.

Lady Bradley

Yes, a world that I am ashamed to call my own!

Anna Leonowens

You forget yourself madam. Now if you will excuse us.

Lord Bradley

Anna Leonowens

Well, you should do well to remember your own self, next time you are cheek to cheek with the king!

If Alak crosses the bridge, everything I love will die.

What will you do?
