EXT. CLASSROOM - DAY

It's a group of twelve-year-olds, serious and well dressed.
They sit on their heels under a sparsely elegant tent, small
wooden desks with embedded screens in front of them. The
tent is on a lawn surrounded by lush foliage. People walk
about and vehicles glide quietly overhead. A utopian vista.

GIRL
Now that the war's over, our
soldiers get to come home, yes?

TEACHER
Some of them. Some will be
stationed on the rim planets as
Peace Enforcers.

BOY
I don't understand. Why were the
Independents even fighting us?
Why wouldn't they look to be more

TEACHER

GIRL
I hear they're cannibals.

EXT. NORLAND PARK - ENGLAND - MARCH 1800 - NIGHT

Silence. Norland Park, a large country house built in the
early part of the eighteenth century, lies in the moonlit
parkland.

INT. NORLAND PARK - MR DASHWOOD'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

In the dim light shed by candles we see a bed in which a MAN
(MR DASHWOOD, 52) lies his skin waxy, his breathing laboured.
Around him two silhouettes move and murmur, their clothing
susurrating in the deathly hush. DOCTORS. A WOMAN (MRS
DASHWOOD, 50) sits by his side, holding his hand, her eyes
never leaving his face.
