00:00I'm sorry to try again.

00:04You promised to finish where you are just now.

00:07You promised to be there to catch me when I fall.

00:10Perhaps I might walk to the end of the garden.

00:14Let me lean on you a little.

00:21You know, your aunt insisted that I bring you in early.

00:24As your physician, I prescribe a little sea air.

00:31The End

00:48Diana, do you remember those lines written to Rupert Brooke?

00:51If I should die, think only this of me.

00:54That there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England.

00:59When he wrote that, I think he must have lived on an island like this.

01:02Watched the ships go by like that.

01:05And said goodbye to someone as I'm saying goodbye to you.

01:09But you go on and do great things here.

01:12They need men like you.

01:14What do you know about men like me?

01:16I knew I could believe in you the first time I saw you.

01:20But tell me, what are you running away from?

01:25I was a surgeon in London, Diana.

01:28Popular, fashionable.

01:31Too much so, I guess.

01:33I tried to mix cocktails with my surgery.

01:36One night I received an emergency call from a dear friend.

01:40It was for his only son.

01:42I had to operate and...

01:45I'd been drinking.

01:47A little fellow died in my arms.

01:52But I couldn't face it.

01:54I thought I was through, so I ran away.

01:58And now you've got to climb all the way back.

02:02You think I can?

02:03Why, of course you can.

02:05Just what you've done for me is a beginning.

02:08Nothing to what you've done for me.

02:10Oh, I feel as though I'm beginning to learn to walk again.

02:12Only you won't be here to help me if I should fall.

02:14You mustn't fall, David.

02:17Diana, why must you return to England?

02:22For the same reason that you must stay here.

02:25And face life.

02:28We both have jobs to do.

02:31I'd rather you didn't know what my job is.

02:35Perhaps someday...

02:36Diana.

02:37Diana, I must tell you that I...

02:39that I love you.

02:41Only a man can't come to a woman with empty hands and...

02:45I love you, Cass.

02:47But when you go back to England,

02:48remember that there's some corner in this forgotten man that's forever yours.

02:54David, if there were only some way I could help you...

02:57There is.

03:01When you go to your steamer,

03:03walk through the street of the town with me.

03:06I want them all to see me with you.

03:08The law?

03:09Yes.

03:10It's so miserable.

03:12Shall we laugh and be gay about it?

03:14It's easier to say goodbye that way.

03:16Just as though we're going to see each other again the next day.

03:19Yes, David.

03:20Let's.
