Subject 12

5. Theories

Zac: Lilly, why do you really think Adam was sent to Ffarquar?

Lilly: Well, as Mr. Pearce said, to help him learn a lesson.

Zac: But isn't it obvious? Think about it, me and Adam are almost Victorian, and you ARE Victorian. Surely we know what mistakes are and how to overcome them.

Lilly: You still weren't right to accuse Mr. Pearce of that.

Zac: It's obvious though, he never liked Adam. Well, he doesn't really like any of us to be honest.

Lily: That's not fair Zac, he's just trying to run his part of the railway, and if that does involve disciplining Adam like that, so be it.

Zac: It just isn't right to send him there. At least he's got his sibling I guess.

Lilly: Yeah, I wonder how he's getting on.

TRANSITION TO TIDMOUTH STATION SHEDS

Adam: Hey Thomas, can I sleep behind you in the shed?

Thomas: No you can sleep outside. OK?

Adam: Erm---

Thomas: I SAID OK!

TRANSITION BACK

Lilly: Yeah I'm sure he's fine.

Zac: It could be worse I guess.

Lilly: Exactly, Kelvin will be here in the morning so we best be up early.

Zac: Yeah, I guess so, good night Lilly.
