"SEVEN?"

Y/N POV : We were waiting outside of Reverend mother's office when we were told we could come in

"Come in my child"

"Now sit down."

"Oh Reverend Mother I am so sorry"

Oh, Reverend Mother, I'm so sorry.

I just couldn't help myself.

The gates were open,
and the hills were beckoning, and before I-

Dear, I haven't summoned you here for apologies.

Oh, please, Mother, do let me ask for forgiveness.

If it would make you feel better.

Yes. Well, you see, the sky was so blue today...

and everything was so green and fragrant.

I just had to be a part of it.

And the Untersberg
kept leading me higher and higher...

as though it wanted me
to go right through the clouds with it.

Child, suppose darkness had come and you were lost?

Oh, Mother, I could never be lost up there.

That's my mountain. I was brought up on it.

It was the mountain that led me to you.

Oh?

When I was a child,
I would come down the mountain...

and climb a tree and look over into your garden.

I'd see the sisters at work,
and I'd hear them sing on their way to vespers...

which brings me to another transgression,
Reverend Mother.

I was singing out there today without permission.

Maria, it is only here in the abbey
that we have rules about postulants singing.

I can't seem to stop singing wherever I am.

And what's worse, I can't seem to stop saying things-

everything and anything I think and feel.

Some people would call that honesty.

But it's terrible, Reverend Mother.

You know how Sister Berthe always makes me
kiss the floor after we've had a disagreement?

Lately I've taken to kissing the floor
when I see her coming just to save time.

Maria, when you saw us over the abbey wall...

and longed to be one of us...

that didn't necessarily mean...

that you were prepared
for the way we live here, did it?

No, Mother, but I- I pray, and I try...

and I am learning, I really am.

What is the most important lesson
you have learned here, my child?

To find out what is the will of God
and to do it wholeheartedly.

Maria.

It seems to be the will of God that you leave us.

- Leave?
- Only for a while, Maria.

Oh, no, Mother, please don't do that.
Don't send me away.

This is where I belong. It’s my home, my family.

It’s my life.

- But are you truly ready for it?
- Yes, I am.

Perhaps if you go out into the world for a time...

knowing what we expect of you...

you will have a chance to find out
if you can expect it of yourself.

I know what you expect, Mother, and I can do it.

- I promise I can.
- Maria.

Yes, Mother.

If it is God's will.

There is a family near Salzburg...

that needs a governess until September.

- Until September?
- To take care of seven children.

- Seven children!
- Do you like children, Maria?

Well, yes, but seven!

I will tell Captain von Trapp to expect you tomorrow.

Uh, Captain?

A retired officer of the Imperial Navy.

"A fine man and a brave one.'

"Ηis wife died several years ago,
leaving him alone with the children.:

"I understand he's had a most difficult time...:

"managing to keep a governess there."

"Uh, why difficult, Reverend Mother?"

"The Lord will show you in his own good time."
