The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain - A Moment of Self-Reflection and Recognition
Betty:
There's nothing very special about me. I'm the kind of girl you usually don't notice: I scuttle in with a tray of tea, bow my head, and scuttle out.
Anson:
I'd notice.
Betty:
No, you wouldn't. Not usually.

Anson:
Um, I'm not sure that I can rely on Mr. Garrad. But, um, the thing is, I-I will need an assistant. I, uh-- you wouldn't, um?
Betty:
Me?
Anson:
Well, why not?
Betty:
Well... I've never been to Abyssinia!
Anson:

Betty:

Betty:
I'm just a maidservant!
Anson:
Well, I-I don't think the word just could apply to you about anything.
Betty:
Was that a compliment?
Anson:
Yes. Yes. Now, n-now I'm going to blush, so, um, would you help me... please?
Betty:
Since you said please. And you're blushing!
Anson:
Ohh.
Betty:
Yes, I will.
Anson:
Good. Then, um, prepare the engineer's transit.
Betty:
What?
Anson:
I'll show you.

Anson:
Well, i-i-it will be measured again! I mean, uh, perhaps we'll even come back through here on our return, and...

You won't be back. This isn't a place that people like you come back to.

Betty:
I'll try! Is that the best you can do?
