—one of those rare and delightful dreams that are so much more true and reasonable than anything in one's waking life.

Like most men he did not believe in very much but rather snatched at moments of love and beauty for confirmation of his unuttered hopes.

Mr. Perrin and Mr. Traill  (Мистер Перрин и мистер Трэйл)
Екранізація роману Х'ю Волпола. Після успіху цього роману критики поставили Волпола в один ряд із Д.Х.Лоуренсом.
"Ймовірно, найправдивіший" роман про жахіття шкіл-інтернатів для хлопчиків, частково заснований на власному досвіді.
Чудово зіграна і впевнено знята драма про затхлий світ закритої приватної школи для хлопчиків. що знаходиться в глушині Корнуолла.
Старий учитель, нудний і непоказний. хоч і той, хто колись подавав великі надії, йде на конфлікт з молодшим колегою, впевненим у собі ветераном війни (хоча тут поєднання молодої - старий умовно. (Фаррар на чотири роки старший за Горінга).
Пристрасті струсили світ школи та призвели до трагедії.

"October is a wonderful month in the English Lakes, golden, rich, and perfumed, slow suns moving through apricot-tinted skies to ruby evening glories; the shadows lie then thick about that beautiful country, in dark purple patches, in long web-like patterns of silver gauze, in thick splotches of amber and grey. The clouds pass in galleons across the mountains, now veiling, now revealing, now descending with ghost-like armies to the very breast of the plains, suddenly rising to the softest of blue skies and lying thin in lazy languorous colour."
Hugh Walpole "The Tarn"
