    Do I want to be a little princess?

    When I read it, I remembered that I had read a novel when I was a child. To be fair, the plot of the story is relatively flat, I feel that the adaptation is not very good, and I feel that there is a kind of downplay-the plot, the characterization, etc., are probably an adapted HE story outline.

    I am princess. All girls are.

    "I am princess. All girls are. Even if they live in the small and narrow garret, even if they put on tattered, even if they not intelligent are unattractive are not young, they are princesses. We all are. Your father has not told you? You do not know?"

    I've seen both versions, but the new version seems to be better.

    "But she firmly believes that her father will not leave her, and every day she finds time to go to the hospital to find her father. Her true feelings have moved the Queen of England." This plot introduction is very different from what I read. My version is: Sarah escapes next door, meets her amnesiac father, and reunites her daughter. .

The Little Princess quotes

  • Amanda Minchin: Please be seated, Mr. Barrow.

    Mr. Barrows: How much did you advance for this party? Quite a sum, I suspect?

    Amanda Minchin: What does it matter? Captain Crewe is a very wealthy man. His check will be here shortly.

    Mr. Barrows: No, Miss Minchin. There'll be no check.

    Amanda Minchin: What? What do you mean by that?

    Mr. Barrows: The late Captain Crewe.

    Amanda Minchin: The late Captain Crewe?

    Mr. Barrows: Captain Crewe is dead. He was so reported in the list this morning. Moreover, he died a bankrupt.

    Amanda Minchin: Bankrupt? But, his property and his mines!

    Mr. Barrows: His property and his mines were confiscated by the enemy.

    Amanda Minchin: You mean to tell me that the child is penniless, and she's left on my hands with nothing?

    Mr. Barrows: She's certainly left penniless, and she's certainly left on your hands. She hasn't a relative in the world that we know of.

    Amanda Minchin: But her father's account is overdrawn. I was expecting a check in advance, the money for this party.

    Mr. Barrows: So, I understand.

    Amanda Minchin: But, this is monstrous.

    [20 seconds later]

    Amanda Minchin: I'll turn her out in the streets.

    Mr. Barrows: Do you think that wise, Miss Minchin? The reputation of your school, you know?

    Amanda Minchin: My school?

    Mr. Barrows: Well, the report might get about. And it might not sound well to the parents of some your other pupils.

    Amanda Minchin: Yes, that is so.

    Mr. Barrows: Of course. The child could be made to serve in your employ until her indebtedness is worked out.

    Amanda Minchin: But, that would take years.

    Mr. Barrows: Quite so. But at least, it's better than nothing.

  • Bertie Minchin: Today, my good woman, the British army is behind me.

    Amanda Minchin: Hubert, that uniform! You're not going to war?

    Bertie Minchin: Quite. To the very cannon's mouth, if need be!

    Amanda Minchin: But why?

    Bertie Minchin: Because, old girl, I'm fed to the teeth with your bullying. And your treatment of Rose and little Sara is the last straw! I prefer the less painful horrors of the battlefield.

    Amanda Minchin: Are you daring to criticize me?

    Bertie Minchin: Astonishing, isn't it? But it proves that I'm competent to lead my men into the very jaws of death!
