[Anna and Louis are packing the last of their belongings. Lady Thiang appears with the news that he King is dying. Anna finds the King in his study surrounded by wives and children, and watches as he passes on the crown to his eldest son. In his first hesitating moment as King, Chulalongkorn reveals the influence of Anna's teaching, and Anna, trembling with emotion, realizes the magnitude of her accomplishments. As Chulalongkorn ascends the throne, the King dies, confident that his son will carry on in ways that he could not.]
[Children:]
Getting to know you, putting it my way
But nicely
You are precisely
[Anna:]
My cup of tea
[Louis:]
Mother, now that the King is dying
Does that make you friends again
[Anna:]
I suppose so, Louis. We can't hurt each other anymore
[Louis:]
He'd always frightened me
[Anna:]
Oh I wish you had known him better. You two could have been
Such good friends; in many ways, he was just as young as you
[Louis:]
Was he as good a King as he could have been?
