Short filmTranscript
00:00:00It all began one day last April.
00:00:28I was living with my grandmary in Mount Bedford, New York, and she was determined to teach me to become a proper young lady.
00:00:36But that day in particular, I was more interested in getting away from the next door nuisance, Eddie Ryland.
00:00:42Samantha!
00:00:48You're so dumb, you probably think three times four is twelve.
00:00:52Three times four is twelve, Eddie.
00:00:54Now if you don't leave me alone, I'll find your money jar and empty it in the river.
00:00:58You're too dumb to find it.
00:01:00Eddie Ryland, you!
00:01:02I'm back here, Eddie Ryland.
00:01:14And that was the day I met my new friend, Nellie O'Malley.
00:01:26Who are they?
00:01:28They're our new servants.
00:01:30The big one is my new maid.
00:01:32But she's too young to be a maid.
00:01:34Maybe her mother is the maid.
00:01:36It's granddad.
00:01:37Who's that?
00:01:38Look at that water.
00:01:39Come along now, Bridget.
00:01:40Come on, Bridget.
00:01:41I'm tired, Dad.
00:01:42I know.
00:01:43It won't be long.
00:01:44You're hungry.
00:01:45I know.
00:01:46It won't be long now.
00:01:47And I know you're hungry.
00:01:48You're hungry.
00:01:49You'll be hungry.
00:01:50You're hungry.
00:01:51I know...
00:02:04I'm tired, Dad.
00:02:08I know. It won't be longer.
00:02:09And I know you're hungry, Jenny, but you'll just have to wait.
00:02:15Oh, this is beautiful. Do you think we can buy this?
00:02:18Yes, we can buy this if we don't try.
00:02:21Oh, right through here, Mr. O'Malley. There's only one room for all of you.
00:02:24This will be fine. Thank you.
00:02:26I'm really hungry, Nellie.
00:02:29Are we going to eat soon?
00:02:34Oh, look, Nellie, next to the pump.
00:02:40Oh, Nellie.
00:02:43See what you did?
00:02:45I didn't do nothing.
00:02:46You threw a rock and broke the window.
00:02:49And I'm going to tell unless you pay me a penny.
00:02:51I don't have a penny.
00:02:53She is not paying you a cent, Eddie Ryland.
00:02:56And if you make any more trouble,
00:02:58I'll tell your mother that you took her good petticoat
00:03:01and made a kite's tail out of it.
00:03:04Oh, I'm really scared, Samantha.
00:03:08Edward!
00:03:10Edward!
00:03:12I have an errand for you!
00:03:15Edward!
00:03:18Edward, I'm waiting!
00:03:21Thank you, Miss.
00:03:22I'm Samantha.
00:03:25I live next door.
00:03:27I'm Nellie.
00:03:29And this is Jenny and Bridget.
00:03:31Pleased to meet you.
00:03:32Don't pay any attention to him.
00:03:37I have to pay some attention, Miss,
00:03:38if we want to keep our place here.
00:03:41Nellie, girl, come along now.
00:03:43Are you going to Mount Bedford School?
00:03:46Maybe we'll be in the same class.
00:03:48I don't go to school, Miss.
00:03:49We're here to work.
00:03:50Oh.
00:03:52May I see you tomorrow?
00:03:54Like I said, I'll be working, Miss,
00:03:57from the sides of this place, from dawn to dusk.
00:04:01Samantha!
00:04:04Goodbye, Nellie.
00:04:05Goodbye, Bridget.
00:04:06Goodbye, Jenny.
00:04:07Goodbye.
00:04:07Goodbye.
00:04:10These are lovely.
00:04:12They should do nicely in the park.
00:04:13They're beautiful.
00:04:14The Rylans have new servants,
00:04:16a father and three girls,
00:04:18and one of them's my age.
00:04:20Samantha, look at those stockings.
00:04:23Your grandmother won't like that.
00:04:24No, she won't.
00:04:26Yes, Mrs. Hawkins.
00:04:27Be sure to wash your hands now.
00:04:30Yes, Mrs. Hawkins.
00:04:31Hello, Samantha.
00:04:50Hello, Grand Mary.
00:04:52I trust you have a good explanation
00:04:53for that tear in your stocking.
00:04:56I fell.
00:04:57I'm sorry.
00:04:59You weren't running, were you?
00:05:00Not when I fell, no.
00:05:02Haste makes waste, Samantha.
00:05:05Yes, Grand Mary.
00:05:11Did you know there are three girls that...
00:05:12You can tell me over tea, dear.
00:05:15Begin practicing.
00:05:20Three girls are moving next door,
00:05:21and one of them's mine.
00:05:22Samantha, please, begin.
00:05:30I have to leave bail this effort.
00:05:34Thank you, Jessie.
00:05:35You can just leave it on the table, please.
00:05:38Is there anything from Uncle Gard?
00:05:39We'll open the mail later, dear.
00:05:41But he's coming back when he said
00:05:42he didn't miss the boat, did he?
00:05:44Samantha, please.
00:05:46Just finish your practice.
00:05:48hello, Miss.
00:05:49Please don't call me Miss.
00:05:52Hello, Miss.
00:06:15Please don't call me Miss.
00:06:17Get in trouble if I don't, Miss.
00:06:19Where did you come from?
00:06:23Before Mount Bedford, I mean.
00:06:25New York City.
00:06:26Oh, my Uncle Gar lives in New York City.
00:06:29Dad and I worked at a factory there.
00:06:31You worked in a factory?
00:06:33Yes, but Dad thought we'd be better off living in the country now.
00:06:40Is your mother's she died, Miss?
00:06:42Last winter.
00:06:43If you don't go to school, would you like to borrow some of my books?
00:06:53Wouldn't do no good, Miss, unless they're all pictures.
00:06:56Oh, my mother was going to teach me to read, but...
00:07:00I could teach you every day beside the hedge.
00:07:03Oh, I wish I could, Miss.
00:07:05You can.
00:07:06You can bring some work with you, like darning or mending.
00:07:10Can't you?
00:07:11You have to sit down sometime, and I could sit with you.
00:07:14It isn't hard to learn.
00:07:15Thank you, Jessie.
00:07:24I'll just leave it on the table, please.
00:07:29Jessie?
00:07:30Yes, Miss?
00:07:31How old were you when you first started to work as a maid?
00:07:37Would you like anything else, ma'am?
00:07:39No, thank you, Jessie.
00:07:41That will be all.
00:07:44Samantha?
00:07:45Yes?
00:07:46We do not discuss personal matters with the servants.
00:07:50But in the kitchen, we talk about all sorts of...
00:07:53This is not the kitchen.
00:07:55The secret to a happy household is for everyone to know their place.
00:08:00Do you understand?
00:08:01Yes, Grand Mary.
00:08:03Good.
00:08:06Are you enjoying your needlepoint?
00:08:10Yes, Grand Mary.
00:08:12Then I'm sure you will have no interest in that package that's addressed to you.
00:08:17Oh, it's from Uncle Guard.
00:08:21How can I get here before he's in?
00:08:24It's not due for three weeks.
00:08:26Oh.
00:08:27Oh.
00:08:28What is it?
00:08:29Oh.
00:08:30It's a stereopticon.
00:08:31Oh.
00:08:32Wow.
00:08:33He says, put in the first slide, and I will see where he is right now.
00:08:37Slide.
00:08:38Oh, my.
00:08:39It's Paris.
00:08:40The Eiffel Tower.
00:08:41As if we were really there.
00:08:42Uncle Guard always gives me the best presents.
00:08:43He's taking me to the exposition in St. Louis for a whole week in July.
00:08:59We're going to see Japanese pagodas and temples and eat peanut butter and fairy floss and everything.
00:09:06They make butter out of peanuts?
00:09:07That's what Uncle Guard says.
00:09:09And what's fairy floss?
00:09:10Uncle Guard says it's made out of pink sugar and comes on a stick.
00:09:15Uncle Guard is the best person I know.
00:09:18Better in your mind, eh?
00:09:20Yeah?
00:09:35Did I say something?
00:09:36Maybe we should start your reading lesson.
00:09:39I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, miss.
00:09:42My parents are gone.
00:09:51Like your mother.
00:09:53Only in an accident on the river.
00:09:56Both of them?
00:09:58That's awful.
00:10:01I don't know what I'd do without my dad.
00:10:04You want to see them?
00:10:12She's beautiful and he's so handsome.
00:10:19She used to sing to me.
00:10:26Sometimes I try to hear her voice, but it just slips away.
00:10:34I know.
00:10:37I wish I could ask Grand Mary.
00:10:41But speaking about Mother hurts her too much.
00:10:46I keep them close this way.
00:10:51I like that you're here, Nellie.
00:10:53I think we'll be great friends.
00:10:55I've never had a real friend outside the family.
00:10:58Well, you do now, Nellie O'Malley.
00:11:00Friends forever.
00:11:01Forever.
00:11:04Come on.
00:11:07Look at me now.
00:11:08Okay.
00:11:09Long.
00:11:10Ears.
00:11:11Off.
00:11:12Thing.
00:11:13The arm.
00:11:14The side.
00:11:17The H sounds like this.
00:11:20The, that, this.
00:11:23The, that, this.
00:11:24And the nose.
00:11:25The.
00:11:26Sea.
00:11:27There.
00:11:28Storm.
00:11:29Thursday.
00:11:30Thanksgiving.
00:11:31A roaming calf with a lily fair sack.
00:11:36Mary Farris sat on a rose blossom mat with a meadow-dewish bath.
00:11:40Stop your fidgeting, Jenny.
00:11:42Bridget!
00:11:46You're pulling too hard on her.
00:11:48Wind slower.
00:11:51Now stretch your hands out.
00:11:53There you go, Jenny.
00:12:00Why doesn't Jenny speak?
00:12:02She hasn't said a word since Ma died.
00:12:05Did she talk before that?
00:12:07Some.
00:12:08And she talks in her sleep.
00:12:17That looks like fun.
00:12:19It does.
00:12:20Can I try it?
00:12:22Here.
00:12:24I'll beat the rug while you read.
00:12:29Cat sat map.
00:12:33Good.
00:12:34Go on.
00:12:35Fat.
00:12:36Rat.
00:12:37Hat.
00:12:38Fat.
00:12:39Fat.
00:12:40Rat.
00:12:41Fat.
00:12:42Rat.
00:12:43Fat.
00:12:44Rat.
00:12:45Oh.
00:12:46Rat.
00:12:47Rat.
00:12:48Oh.
00:12:49Rat.
00:12:50Rat.
00:12:51Rat.
00:12:52Rat.
00:12:54You girls about through killing the rug.
00:12:56I'm sorry, Mr. O'Malley.
00:12:57It was my fault.
00:12:58There's no fault to it.
00:12:59You almost done here?
00:13:00All done, Dad.
00:13:01Good, then.
00:13:02Get to move on inside.
00:13:03Mrs. Riley was calling for you.
00:13:04Yes, Dad.
00:13:06Tomorrow, Samantha?
00:13:07Tomorrow.
00:13:08I wanted to thank you, Samantha, for your kindness toward Nellie and the girls.
00:13:13Nothing's needed, sir.
00:13:14Nellie and the girls are my friends.
00:13:15It's Uncle Guard.
00:13:16That's my Uncle Guard.
00:13:17He's come back from Europe.
00:13:18Goodbye, Mr. O'Malley.
00:13:19Goodbye.
00:13:20Goodbye, Jenny, Bridget.
00:13:21My Uncle Guard is here.
00:13:22Goodbye.
00:13:23Goodbye.
00:13:24Goodbye.
00:13:25Goodbye, Jenny, Bridget.
00:13:26That's my Uncle Guard.
00:13:27He's come back from Europe.
00:13:29Goodbye, Mr. O'Malley.
00:13:30Goodbye.
00:13:31Goodbye, Jenny, Bridget.
00:13:32My Uncle Guard is here.
00:13:35Goodbye.
00:13:54Well, here we are.
00:14:03Uncle Guard!
00:14:04Uncle Guard!
00:14:05My angel!
00:14:06Haha!
00:14:07Oh, I missed you so much!
00:14:09Oh, I missed you so much.
00:14:11Did you get my present?
00:14:13Yes, I love it.
00:14:14It's wonderful.
00:14:15Well, I have an even bigger surprise for you.
00:14:19Oh, what is it?
00:14:21If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise.
00:14:24Will you take me for a ride now?
00:14:26First, I want you to say hello to someone.
00:14:37How are we coming along then, my dear?
00:14:39Fine, thank you.
00:14:47Samantha, you remember Miss Pitt from Christmas?
00:14:50Please, call me Cornelia.
00:14:53Hello.
00:14:56Can we go now?
00:14:58In a moment.
00:15:00Your uncle guard says you love to read, Sam.
00:15:02My name is Samantha.
00:15:04Very well, Samantha.
00:15:05I thought you might like this.
00:15:07It's the Wizard of Oz.
00:15:08Girls in New York love it.
00:15:13Come on, you two.
00:15:14But I thought you said we were going for a ride.
00:15:16First, we need to say hello to your grandmary.
00:15:21Shall we?
00:15:23Oh.
00:15:32Here we are.
00:15:34Mother?
00:15:35Gardner!
00:15:41You remember Miss Pitt?
00:15:42What a pleasant surprise.
00:15:45How are you, Miss Pitt?
00:15:47Very well, thank you, Mrs. Edwards.
00:15:51Gardner promised me he would tell you I was coming.
00:15:54I can see he didn't.
00:15:55I like surprises.
00:15:57Don't you, Samantha?
00:15:59I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to catch up later.
00:16:04For now, Mrs. Hawkins can show you to the guest room.
00:16:10This way, ma'am.
00:16:17Gardner?
00:16:18You really should warn me when you're bringing home guests.
00:16:23You look well, Mother.
00:16:25Ah.
00:16:27This is for you.
00:16:28Oh, my.
00:16:29Oh, my.
00:16:32Oh.
00:16:34Oh.
00:16:38Oh.
00:16:41It's lovely.
00:16:43How's the Admiral been to see you lately?
00:16:45Gardner.
00:16:46Let's see.
00:16:47We were going to do something now.
00:17:00What?
00:17:01I don't remember.
00:17:05Excuse us, Mother.
00:17:06Where are you going?
00:17:07Gardner!
00:17:12All right, I'm gonna let it out now.
00:17:13Here we are.
00:17:16Oh, my God.
00:17:17Oh, my God.
00:17:18Oh, my God.
00:17:19Oh, my God.
00:17:25Did you see the Mona Lisa?
00:17:26Yes, Mother.
00:17:27We saw the Mona Lisa, and it was delightful.
00:17:29Oh.
00:17:30But what we're even more excited about
00:17:32is this new style of art called Impressionism.
00:17:35Yes.
00:17:36By a man named Monet.
00:17:37You've been away a very long time.
00:17:39How has your firm managed without you?
00:17:41I don't think they even noticed I was gone, Mother.
00:17:43Nonsense, Gard.
00:17:44Of course they did.
00:17:45Cornelia's the one who's really making a difference in New York.
00:17:48How so?
00:17:49She's organizing suffrage meetings all over the city.
00:17:52Gard, perhaps this isn't the best time.
00:17:54I don't really understand why women need to vote.
00:17:57Women of my generation found plenty of ways to influence the course of events
00:18:02without having to stand on a soapbox.
00:18:05Yes.
00:18:06Although if women are expected to obey the laws our leaders make,
00:18:09shouldn't we have a say in selecting those leaders?
00:18:12I believe Samantha should have as much say in her government as that little boy next door.
00:18:17Hmm.
00:18:18Well, Uncle Gard, when are you going to tell us the surprise?
00:18:30I was going to wait until after dinner.
00:18:31Are you coming to live in Mount Bedford?
00:18:33No.
00:18:34But it is wonderful news.
00:18:35Against her better judgment, this beautiful woman has accepted my proposal of marriage.
00:18:50Oh, Gardner, you sound so old-fashioned.
00:18:54We've been talking about this for almost a year.
00:18:57And while I was in Paris, I was getting her parents' blessing.
00:18:59My.
00:19:00Well then, I'm very happy for both of you.
00:19:06I'm happy for you too, Uncle Gard.
00:19:16Since Cornelia's family lives abroad, we were hoping it would allow us to have the wedding right here, Mother.
00:19:22We could hold it in the conservatory.
00:19:23It's so beautiful here.
00:19:24Maybe we're thinking the end of July.
00:19:25July?
00:19:26This year?
00:19:27Yes, of course, this year.
00:19:29Why so sudden?
00:19:30I don't want to wait.
00:19:31I found the woman of my dreams.
00:19:36I want you to be my bridesmaid, Samantha.
00:19:39Would you?
00:19:40What?
00:19:41She's very young.
00:19:42Well, my sister will be the matron of honor.
00:19:45Her daughter my flower girl, but I don't have a bridesmaid.
00:19:48What do you say?
00:19:50Say yes.
00:19:57Yes.
00:19:58Samantha.
00:19:59What?
00:20:00That's true.
00:20:01Samantha?
00:20:02Hello.
00:20:03Hello.
00:20:04Samantha?
00:20:13Samantha?
00:20:16Hello.
00:20:17Samantha?
00:20:18Hello.
00:20:19Hello.
00:20:20Hello?
00:20:22Samantha?
00:20:23Hello?
00:20:24Samantha?
00:20:25Hello.
00:20:26I know you're upset with me.
00:20:30I don't want things to change anymore, Uncle Gard.
00:20:36You've had more change in your life than anyone ought to have.
00:20:39But you'll see, Cornelia is going to be a wonderful friend.
00:20:43And in fact, if your mother was still alive, I'm sure they'd be the best of friends.
00:20:47They would?
00:20:47Oh, yes. They're quite similar in many ways.
00:20:50Your mother was so full of life and questions and causes.
00:20:54And right now, she's smiling down on us.
00:20:57I'm making fun of your bushy eyebrows.
00:20:59How did you know about that?
00:21:00She tortured you. She told me so.
00:21:04And I miss her every time I think about it.
00:21:10You're so like your mother.
00:21:13You have her spirit.
00:21:15You have her will and her curiosity.
00:21:21Oh. What's this?
00:21:24St. Louis. The exposition.
00:21:34Oh, no.
00:21:36I promised to take you, didn't I?
00:21:40I'm sorry.
00:21:41How can I make it up to you?
00:21:43It's all her fault.
00:21:44No, Samantha.
00:21:46Cornelia is a wonderful person.
00:21:47She's strong and caring.
00:21:51And she loves children.
00:21:53You'll have your own family.
00:21:55Forget all about me.
00:21:57You are my family.
00:22:00You'll always be my little girl.
00:22:02You are my little girl.
00:22:03Yeah.
00:22:03It's me.
00:22:04I'm sorry.
00:22:04It's me.
00:22:08It's me.
00:22:39That was lovely, Samantha.
00:22:44Thank you, Grand Mary.
00:22:48Grand Mary?
00:22:50Yes?
00:22:51Do you like Cornelia?
00:22:54Do I?
00:22:57Certainly I do, Samantha.
00:23:00She's going to be Gardner's wife.
00:23:02And your aunt.
00:23:03Our family.
00:23:05Much as we would like things to remain as they are, Samantha,
00:23:09they don't.
00:23:11And so we must learn to accept change with grace.
00:23:16Do you understand?
00:23:17Yes, Grand Mary.
00:23:22She gave a dose of it to Peter,
00:23:24one tablespoon to be taken at bedtime.
00:23:27But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail
00:23:30had bread and milk and blackberries for supper at the end.
00:23:34I can't believe how quickly you've learned this, Nellie.
00:23:37I think I've been ringing over Dad's shoulders
00:23:40ever since I was little.
00:23:42He says I should start teaching Bridget soon.
00:23:45Hello there.
00:23:46I should get back to work.
00:23:47Can you stay a minute longer?
00:23:49I'm trying to decide what kind of cake to have for the wedding.
00:23:52Now then, have a bite of both
00:23:55and tell me which one you like better,
00:23:57lemon or almond vanilla.
00:23:59I like the lemon, but the almond vanilla is wonderful, too.
00:24:10Maybe you'd better taste them again.
00:24:16I say the lemon.
00:24:17I have to agree.
00:24:18Lemon it is.
00:24:20All right, then.
00:24:21I'll just give the rest to the dogs.
00:24:23Oh, no, ma'am.
00:24:25Cake's not good for dogs.
00:24:26It gives them a tummy ache.
00:24:28And we don't have a dog.
00:24:30Oh, that's right.
00:24:32I forgot.
00:24:33Why don't we take them to Bridget and Jenny?
00:24:36Oh, good idea.
00:24:37Very good.
00:24:39Thank you, girls.
00:24:45She's not so bad, you know.
00:24:49What did you wear when you got married, Mrs. Edwards?
00:24:52Oh, Belgian lace.
00:24:55Oh, how elegant.
00:24:58The gown had tiny pearls all along the hem
00:25:01and crystal stitching in between each pearl.
00:25:05And there was a large satin bow just above the bustle.
00:25:09Bustle?
00:25:10Yes.
00:25:11It was the height of fashion, I will have you know.
00:25:17Tell her about the veil.
00:25:19Oh, the veil.
00:25:20It flowed from behind like a waterfall.
00:25:24My mother wore it, too.
00:25:26She looked like an angel.
00:25:29And here is the fabric for the bridesmaid's dress.
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:33Oh, Grandma, look.
00:25:34It's lavender.
00:25:35Your favorite color.
00:25:37It's the prettiest color I've ever seen.
00:25:39Samantha had her heart set on going to St. Louis.
00:25:43We have to make it up to her.
00:25:44I want her to come stay with us for the fall.
00:25:47You said yourself,
00:25:48Aunt Frances is not getting any better.
00:25:50It's impossible.
00:25:51You'll be newly married.
00:25:52The last thing you'll need is a child on your hands.
00:25:55She can come and stay with us in New York.
00:25:57Let us share the burden, Mother.
00:25:59It's just for a few months.
00:26:00Nellie.
00:26:23Nellie.
00:26:27What on earth?
00:26:29I tried to sleep,
00:26:31but I kept on hearing what they said.
00:26:34They were talking about sending me away to New York.
00:26:39Grandberry and Uncle Gard.
00:26:43They think it would burn me.
00:26:45Look at you.
00:26:45You're shaking.
00:26:46You're so cold.
00:26:48How long have you been out here?
00:26:50Please come with me.
00:26:52I don't want to be by myself.
00:26:54I thought this was just the boathouse.
00:27:06This is my secret hiding place.
00:27:09There are so many beautiful things here.
00:27:12It's where my mother and father and I used to keep our boat.
00:27:15But after they died,
00:27:18no one came here anymore.
00:27:22Sometimes when I come here,
00:27:25I feel like they're still here.
00:27:27And what do you do in here?
00:27:36Read mostly.
00:27:38Make wishes.
00:27:39And what do you wish for?
00:27:43Depends on my mood.
00:27:46Sometimes I wish for Eddie Ryland to run into a tree.
00:27:49And other times I wish for my parents to be here.
00:27:58Dad says,
00:27:59no sense thinking about what you don't have.
00:28:01Better think about what you do.
00:28:04But I still wish I could see my mom.
00:28:07If I go to New York,
00:28:10I miss you so much.
00:28:11You can write me every day.
00:28:14And you can write back.
00:28:16What's her name?
00:28:19Lydia.
00:28:21Just like my mother.
00:28:23I've never seen anything so beautiful.
00:28:27If I go away,
00:28:29will you keep her for me?
00:28:32Do you mean it?
00:28:33Yes.
00:28:35I wouldn't trust her with anybody but my best friend.
00:28:42You know anything about stars?
00:28:45A little.
00:28:46First star you see,
00:28:48that's the wishing one.
00:28:51Starlight.
00:28:52Star bright.
00:28:54First star I see tonight.
00:28:57Wish I may.
00:28:59Wish I might.
00:29:00Have the wish
00:29:01I wish tonight.
00:29:03I found you.
00:29:09I found you.
00:29:13Oh, you get out of here right now, Eddie.
00:29:15Pay me a nickel and I won't tell.
00:29:17How much do you want for never speaking to me again?
00:29:20I found them.
00:29:21I found them.
00:29:25I found them.
00:29:26I found them.
00:29:28I found them.
00:29:30What do you think you're doing, you senseless girl?
00:29:33You have had the whole neighborhood looking for you.
00:29:35This is completely unacceptable.
00:29:38The servants in my household do not trespass on other people's property, nor do they sleep
00:29:41outside with the neighbor's children.
00:29:43I'm so sorry.
00:29:49I cannot understand how this happened.
00:29:53It's my fault, Mrs. Ryland.
00:29:55It was all my idea.
00:29:58I asked Nellie to keep me company.
00:30:01Nevertheless, I expect my help to behave respectfully at all times.
00:30:06I don't think the girls meant any harm.
00:30:09I promise you, it won't happen again.
00:30:11Please, forgive her, Mom.
00:30:13She's still young and forgets her place.
00:30:15I'm so sorry, ma'am.
00:30:17I knew better.
00:30:19I did.
00:30:22It's all right, Nellie.
00:30:27Mother.
00:30:40What's this?
00:30:53Pictures of Lydia.
00:30:57Lydia's journal.
00:31:08Samantha.
00:31:09A few months in New York City might be good for Samantha.
00:31:13If you're sure you can manage.
00:31:15No, I am.
00:31:16Yes, Grand Mary.
00:31:19I have some wonderful news.
00:31:21Your uncle guard has invited you to spend a few months in New York City
00:31:26with him and Cornelia this fall.
00:31:29And with you and the city,
00:31:31I thought I would take the opportunity to visit Great Aunt Frances.
00:31:35I'm sorry I put Mother's pictures in the boathouse.
00:31:38This is not a punishment, dear.
00:31:40I'll never do it again.
00:31:41I promise, Grand Mary.
00:31:43When all we have left of someone is our memories of them,
00:31:47then we must keep those memories close.
00:31:49I'd be disappointed if you didn't have a special place for your mother.
00:31:56She did the very same thing.
00:31:58My mother?
00:31:59She once had a kitten named Mabel.
00:32:02It was fluffy and gray and a little cross-eyed.
00:32:06Cross-eyed?
00:32:07And she loved that kitten more than anything.
00:32:10One day, Mabel didn't come home.
00:32:12She took all of Mabel's favorite things
00:32:16and she placed them in the boathouse.
00:32:21She did?
00:32:22Just like you.
00:32:36Samantha!
00:32:37Samantha!
00:32:38Oh, my!
00:32:50Isn't it the most wonderful gown you've ever seen, Grand Mary?
00:32:53The most wonderful.
00:32:56I was just on my way up to see Cornelia.
00:32:59Join me.
00:33:03You look like a fairy tale.
00:33:05Yes, like a princess.
00:33:07Yes, ma'am.
00:33:07I have some pieces here.
00:33:08They've been in the family for years.
00:33:10I don't feel you must wear them or anything.
00:33:11No, Mrs. Edwards, thank you so much.
00:33:12What dare they are if you liked them?
00:33:14Oh, my.
00:33:15Yes, they were.
00:33:15They're so pretty.
00:33:17Oh, I couldn't.
00:33:18Oh, my goodness.
00:33:18They're so delicate.
00:33:19They're very beautiful.
00:33:20They're lovely.
00:33:21Don't feel obligated.
00:33:22Thank you so much.
00:33:24Really.
00:33:30Oh!
00:33:31Oh, no!
00:33:32Oh, my God!
00:33:33Oh, my God!
00:33:34Oh, my God!
00:33:34Oh, my God!
00:33:35Your family's ruined.
00:33:36Oh, my God!
00:33:38I'm sorry, Aunt Cornelia.
00:33:40I didn't mean to.
00:33:42It's all right, Agatha.
00:33:44Don't be upset.
00:33:45You look lovely.
00:34:13Would you like to wear my mother's veil?
00:34:19Oh, I couldn't.
00:34:23You must.
00:34:29Oh, it's so beautiful.
00:34:33Thank you both so much.
00:34:42Would you help me?
00:34:43Oh, my God.
00:35:13She's so beautiful.
00:35:16Yes.
00:35:19Wilt thou, gardener, have this woman to thy lawful wedded wife to live together after God's ordinance in the holiest state of matrimony?
00:35:28Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor, and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
00:35:42I will.
00:35:43I will.
00:35:44I will.
00:35:45I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:35:46I now pronounce you man and wife.

00:35:53Oh, it's a whole hearted.
00:35:54Oh, it's a whole hearted.
00:35:56Oh, it's a whole hearted.
00:35:57Oh, it's a whole hearted.
00:35:58Oh, it's a whole hearted.

00:39:40I miss you so much.
00:39:42I'm going to miss you something awful, Samantha Parkington.
00:39:46You promise you won't forget me now?
00:39:49Forget you?
00:39:50I'll be back before you know it.
00:39:52And we'll celebrate Christmas after Christmas together.
00:39:55That sounds grand.
00:39:57I promise.
00:39:58Not even New York City can keep us apart.
00:40:01You'll see.
00:40:02Dear Nellie, today Uncle Gard, Aunt Cornelia and I went on a tour of New York City.
00:40:29First, we stopped in the Madison Square and saw the magnificent Fuller Building.
00:40:35I sent you a slide.
00:40:37They call it the Flat Iron now.
00:40:40Isn't that silly naming a building after an iron?
00:40:43Oh, Nellie, there are so many people here from all over the world, speaking different languages
00:40:53and shouting and laughing, that it makes my ears hurt.
00:40:57And the streets were so full of carriages and automobiles that there were times where we could hardly move.
00:41:05Uncle Gard says that next month, an underground train will open.
00:41:08It's called the subway.
00:41:10And it can take a person from City Hall to the Harlem Meadows in less than 15 minutes.
00:41:16Imagine that.
00:41:17Oh, and I tried the chestnuts, like you said, but I like the smell better than the taste.
00:41:23Hello.
00:41:24Hello.
00:41:25One, please.
00:41:27There you go, miss.
00:41:29Thank you, sir.
00:41:29You're welcome.
00:41:33School is going fine, I suppose.
00:41:35I'd like to introduce a new student.
00:41:48Samantha Parkington, who comes to us from Mount Bedford, New York, which is quite a change.
00:41:54Isn't that right, Samantha?
00:41:56Yes.
00:41:57Maybe you'd like to tell us a little about your life in Mount Bedford.
00:42:05Well, first, Mount Bedford is not a mountain.
00:42:14It's houses and churches and a river.
00:42:20And what river is that?
00:42:21The Houson.
00:42:24The Houson.
00:42:28The Hudson, sorry.
00:42:31That's all right.
00:42:32We're all nervous when we come to a new place.
00:42:34The river is the Hudson River, the same one that runs down the west side.
00:42:40But it would be so much more fun if you were with me.
00:42:43I miss you so, Nellie.
00:42:45Please write back soon your best friend, Samantha.
00:42:51Dear Samantha, I'm sorry I haven't written much, but Dad's been under the weather, and I've had to take on more chores.
00:42:58Your uncle's house sounds grand, all stone and marble, like the fine houses in the Gramercy Park that Dad used to point out.
00:43:06I miss you too, Samantha, and I can't wait until you get back.
00:43:11Love from your friend, Nellie.
00:43:13Mrs. Vandergeld has installed a shower.
00:43:17Passing fancy.
00:43:18Like rain shower?
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Only it's inside the house, and you stand underneath, and then the water falls.
00:43:25That's a ridiculous contraption.
00:43:27Absurd.
00:43:28Prone to breaking, I'm sure.
00:43:31I'm sure.
00:43:32And you'd like one, I suppose.
00:43:35Absolutely.
00:43:35Oh, from Grandmary.
00:43:41She has been to see the Admiral.
00:43:47What's so amusing?
00:43:48Well, the Admiral's proposed to Mother twice a year for the last dozen years, I'd say.
00:43:54Well, no wonder she thought we were rushing things.
00:43:56Good morning, class.
00:44:09Good morning, Miss Stevens.
00:44:14Today I have a very exciting announcement.
00:44:18The school is conducting a speaking contest on the subject Progress in America.
00:44:24You can write on a topic of your choice.
00:44:27Anything modern and new.
00:44:29Yes, Edna?
00:44:30Could I write about the telephone?
00:44:32The telephone is an excellent example.
00:44:34Anyone else?
00:44:35Samantha?
00:44:37Factories?
00:44:38Another good idea.
00:44:39A single factory can do the work of an entire town in one day.
00:44:43Think of it.
00:44:45Yes, Emma?
00:44:46My Uncle Rem's a factory.
00:44:48May I write on that, too?
00:44:49You all may write on anything you wish.
00:44:51But only 12 speeches will be chosen.
00:44:55And those chosen will be presented in front of the entire school at the Christmas program.
00:45:00Your speeches are due by Thanksgiving.
00:45:02The time has come to change the old ways.
00:45:09Women must vote.
00:45:12The time has come for all of us to speak out.
00:45:15And in support, Mrs. Winthrop and Mrs. Vandergeld will organize a peaceful gathering of Madison Square Park a week from Tuesday.
00:45:23Women in all 45 states will be holding similar gatherings on that day.
00:45:27I'm very pleased to have met you, Samantha.
00:45:42Pleased to have met you, too.
00:45:44You know, I'm always greatly encouraged when young people join our discussions.
00:45:48Are you anxious to vote one day?
00:45:50I'm not sure.
00:45:53No.
00:45:55Then you won't have to.
00:45:56Isn't that right, Mrs. Vandergeld?
00:45:58Oh, quite.
00:46:00Quite right.
00:46:01It's the right to vote we're fighting for, not the requirement.
00:46:06Good night, Samantha.
00:46:08Good night.
00:46:10Thank you, Amanda.
00:46:13Excuse me.
00:46:15Good night.
00:46:17Good night.
00:46:17We'll soon be replaced by those made by machine.
00:46:22Uncle Gar!
00:46:24Hello, my angel.
00:46:26How was school today?
00:46:27It was good.
00:46:29I'm practicing my speech.
00:46:31Would you like to hear it?
00:46:32Of course.
00:46:37Factories are the foundation of progress in America.
00:46:40They can make perfect products every time, and plenty of them, too.
00:46:44Enough for everyone, all at once.
00:46:46They will provide jobs for everyone who wants one, too.
00:46:50Products that are made by hand will soon be replaced by those made by machine.
00:46:55Thank you, Gertrude.
00:46:56I am impressed.
00:46:58Afternoon mail.
00:46:59Hello, sweetheart.
00:47:01Anything for me?
00:47:03Well, there's a postcard here to all of us from Grand Mary.
00:47:07Nothing from Nellie?
00:47:08Oh, I'm afraid not.
00:47:13I haven't heard from her in weeks.
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:18There's a letter here from Mount Bedford, from Mrs. Hawkins.
00:47:21What does it say?
00:47:25Oh, dear.
00:47:28What?
00:47:28Nellie's father has died from influenza.
00:47:34Oh, no.
00:47:37Oh, Nellie.
00:47:41May I see?
00:47:42She says that Mrs. Ryland sent them to an orphanage.
00:47:59In New York City.
00:48:02Cold Rock House.
00:48:04Do you know where it is?
00:48:05Is it near?
00:48:07It shouldn't be hard to find.
00:48:08Can we go see them, Uncle Gar?
00:48:11I will get the address and stop at the orphanage on my way home tomorrow.
00:48:22Dear Nellie, I just received word about your dad.
00:48:26I'm so sad for you and the girls.
00:48:28We all are.
00:48:30But Uncle Gar is going to arrange for me to see you, and I'll be there in no time.
00:48:35Write me back as soon as you can.
00:48:37Your friend, Samantha.
00:49:00I'm practicing for my piano lesson.
00:49:02I'd like to stay and listen.
00:49:05Do you mind?
00:49:05Do you mind?
00:49:35That was lovely, Samantha.
00:49:56Would you like to help?
00:49:58Uncle Gar told me you remind him of my mother.
00:50:02I take that as a great compliment.
00:50:05I remember her hair and my face when she would kiss me goodnight.
00:50:17I don't know why I thought of this, but she hated chickens.
00:50:23Chickens?
00:50:24She hated them.
00:50:27It's guard.
00:50:29Uncle Gar.
00:50:29Hello, ladies.
00:50:34Look at you two.
00:50:36I'd say I'm the luckiest man in New York, wouldn't you?
00:50:39Did you find the orphanage?
00:50:41I did.
00:50:42Oh, wonderful.
00:50:44How was Nellie?
00:50:45Well, they didn't let me see her.
00:50:49What do you mean?
00:50:50Well, the orphans are not allowed to have visitors who are not related, unless they're serious about adoption.
00:50:55It's preposterous.
00:50:56Why?
00:50:57Each institution has its own rules.
00:51:00There must be some way that I could see her.
00:51:05Mr. and Mrs. Vandergal donate a great deal to New York orphanages.
00:51:10One of them could well be Cold Rock.
00:51:11Excuse me.
00:51:20Hello?
00:51:22Yes, could you connect me, please, to the Vandergal residence on Fifth Avenue?
00:51:25Hey!
00:51:29Hey!
00:51:29Hey!
00:51:29Hey!
00:51:30Hey!
00:51:30Hey!
00:51:31Hey!
00:51:31Hey!
00:51:32Hey!
00:51:33Hey!
00:51:34Hey!
00:51:35Hey!
00:51:36Hey!
00:51:37Hey!
00:51:38Hey!
00:51:39Hey!
00:51:40Hey!
00:51:41Hey!
00:51:42Hey!
00:51:43Hey!
00:51:44Hey!
00:51:45Hey!
00:51:46Hey!
00:51:47Hey!
00:51:48Hey!
00:51:49Hey!
00:51:50Hey!
00:51:51I'm Mrs. Edwards.
00:51:52I telephoned earlier about St. Mrs. Rouchy.
00:52:02She'll be right with you.
00:52:11You must be Mrs. Edwards.
00:52:13We've been expecting you.
00:52:15Pleased to meet you.
00:52:16Mrs. Vandergal sent word of your arrival.
00:52:19She spoke very highly of you.
00:52:22And of you, Mrs. Rouchy.
00:52:24Mrs. Vandergal is our most generous benefactor.
00:52:27Would this be a convenient time for a tour?
00:52:29Uh, yes.
00:52:30Yes, of course.
00:52:31Uh, Lillian.
00:52:33Oh.
00:52:35Oh.
00:52:37Oh.
00:52:39Oh.
00:52:41Nancy, you wait.
00:52:42You're walking too?
00:52:43No speaking!
00:52:44Ma'am?
00:52:45I'm sure you must understand the importance of rules for girls like this.
00:52:48Obedience, order, and discipline.
00:52:50These are the things that will enable them to find homes.
00:52:52Let's go.
00:52:53Let's go.
00:52:54Here's the dormitory for the younger girls.
00:52:55Are there always this many?
00:52:56There are not enough beds.
00:52:57There are not enough beds.
00:52:58You wait.
00:52:59You wait.
00:53:00You're walking too?
00:53:01No speaking!
00:53:02Ma'am?
00:53:03I'm sure you must understand the importance of rules for girls like this.
00:53:05Obedience, order, and discipline.
00:53:07These are the things that will enable them to find homes.
00:53:10Let's go.
00:53:11Here's the dormitory for the younger girls.
00:53:16Are there always this many?
00:53:21There are not enough beds for these children.
00:53:25Two of the girls are leaving today to a good home in the country.
00:53:29We'll have a party for them later.
00:53:47Here we have the dormitory for the older girls.
00:53:509 to 16.
00:53:53May my niece hand out fruit?
00:53:55Yes, of course.
00:53:57What a lovely, well-behaved child.
00:54:04Now then, Mrs. Fauci, how many children do you have in this dormitory?
00:54:08Oh, the number of children ranges from...
00:54:11Manny!
00:54:13Samantha!
00:54:15What are you doing here?
00:54:18Are you all right?
00:54:19You're so pale.
00:54:20Look at your hands.
00:54:22Here, take my glove.
00:54:24Did you see Bridget and Jenny downstairs?
00:54:27Are they all right?
00:54:28You mean you don't get to see them?
00:54:30They won't let us play together.
00:54:32I'm sure they think I've abandoned them.
00:54:34You cannot stay here.
00:54:36Are you ever allowed outside?
00:54:38Only when I take out the ashes around the back every day at 4 o'clock.
00:54:43We must let the girls rest now.
00:54:45Um, Samantha, are we ready?
00:54:47I'll come to the alley.
00:54:484 o'clock.
00:54:49Ready!
00:54:50I'll come to the alley.
00:54:514 o'clock.
00:54:52Ready!
00:55:13What's the basket for?
00:55:15It's for coats.
00:55:16Coats go in the coat closet.
00:55:18These are for old coats that you don't want anymore.
00:55:21Why do you want her old coats?
00:55:23It's for an orphanage.
00:55:25They need all kinds of things like hats and gloves and anything that's warm really.
00:55:31They're stuck there and we need to help.
00:55:33Maybe you do.
00:55:35I have some old coats at home.
00:55:39They don't fit anymore.
00:55:40And gloves too.
00:55:42I'll bring them in tomorrow.
00:55:44I like your pilgrims.
00:55:57Yes, Mrs. Evans.
00:55:58Mrs. Frouchi is expecting you.
00:56:00I have a hamper here full of pumpkin pies and Thanksgiving treats for the children.
00:56:04May we bring them into your kitchen?
00:56:06I'll take that for you.
00:56:07Follow me.
00:56:08I'll just wait outside.
00:56:09All right.
00:56:11Nellie!
00:56:12Nellie!
00:56:13Nellie!
00:56:14You found me!
00:56:24Here.
00:56:25I brought you some walls.
00:56:26But she's inside.
00:56:27Thank you, Samantha.
00:56:28Mrs. Frouchi says she'll place me out if I don't behave.
00:56:30What's that?
00:56:31Sending me away on the orphan train to get adopted by a family far away.
00:56:32Mrs. Frouchi says girls with my training go really fast in the farm country.
00:56:41And Jenny and Bridget?
00:56:42And Jenny and Bridget?
00:56:43No.
00:56:44They're too young.
00:56:45She sends me.
00:56:46I'll never get to see them again.
00:56:47Oh, you cannot go.
00:56:48And the three of you have to stay together.
00:56:50I have to think about what to do.
00:56:51I'm not going to let this happen to you, Nellie.
00:56:52I'm not.
00:56:53Did you hear, Gertrude, that our Samantha has been chosen out of all the girls in her
00:57:18in her school to speak at the Christmas program.
00:57:21Isn't that wonderful?
00:57:23It's not just me.
00:57:24They're 12 of us.
00:57:25That is quite an accomplishment to be one of the 12, Samantha.
00:57:30It is a shame that Mother won't hear.
00:57:32Then Grand Mary will have the pleasure of hearing
00:57:34only Samantha when she returns.
00:57:39Oh, now will you look at that?
00:57:41Oh, it looks splendid.
00:57:42Beautiful.
00:57:44On first Thanksgiving.
00:57:45I wish everyone had all the blessings that we have tonight.
00:57:51That's very thoughtful, Samantha.
00:57:53Shall we?
00:57:57Father, we thank thee for this food,
00:58:00for health and strength and all things good.
00:58:04Amen.
00:58:09Nellie!
00:58:11Come on, everything's ready.
00:58:13We need to hurry.
00:58:14What?
00:58:15What are you talking about?
00:58:17Look, if we don't go now, we never will.
00:58:19Go?
00:58:20Where?
00:58:21With me.
00:58:22I'm taking you all.
00:58:24What's wrong?
00:58:26I'm scared.
00:58:27It'll be all right.
00:58:29Go get Bridget and Jenny,
00:58:30and I'll meet you in front of the coat closet.
00:58:33I'll meet you there in five minutes.
00:58:37Go, now!
00:58:38Jenny, Jenny, look!
00:58:53Come on, girls.
00:58:55You need to go now.
00:58:57What's it for?
00:59:01I came here to bring donations for the girls.
00:59:05Yes?
00:59:06I usually come here with my aunt,
00:59:08who is very good friends with Mrs. Vandergal.
00:59:11We usually just leave the boxes beside the coat closet.
00:59:15Fine. Off you go.
00:59:22Allie, where are you?
00:59:26Samantha!
00:59:27I'll deposit the donation money Monday, Mrs. Fauci.
00:59:30You best give it to me. I'll hold on to it.
00:59:35For safekeeping.
00:59:37Yes, ma'am.
00:59:39Those are lost.
00:59:41Get in, sir.
00:59:41Under the vest.
00:59:42I love you.
00:59:47I love you.
00:59:54I love you.
00:59:56I love you.
01:00:05Richie.
01:00:06Richie.
01:00:07Richie.
01:00:08Richie.
01:00:09Who's there?
01:00:23What?
01:00:24Richie!
01:00:25What?
01:00:26Richie!
01:00:27Richie.
01:00:28Richie.
01:00:29Come on.
01:00:30There you go.
01:00:31Hurry.
01:00:32Help.
01:00:33Stop.
01:00:34Stop.
01:00:35Stop.
01:00:36Help.
01:00:37Stop.
01:00:38Hurry.
01:00:39Don't stop.
01:00:40Stop.
01:00:41Stop.
01:00:42Stop.
01:00:43Help.
01:00:44Hurry.
01:00:45Don't stop.
01:00:46Stop.
01:00:47Please.
01:00:48Come on.
01:00:49Do it.
01:00:50Go.
01:00:51Go.
01:00:52Go.
01:00:53Go.
01:00:54Go.
01:00:55Go.
01:00:56Hurry.
01:00:57Let's go.
01:00:58Please.
01:00:59Please.
01:01:00Please.
01:01:01Help.
01:01:02Someone took my babies.
01:01:03And the donation money.
01:01:04All of it.
01:01:05Wait.
01:01:06Where?
01:01:07You're not running, Nellie.
01:01:08Don't stop.
01:01:09Bridget.
01:01:10Hurry.
01:01:11Come on.
01:01:12Pick up.
01:01:13Come on.
01:01:14Get up.
01:01:15Come on.
01:01:16Get up.
01:01:17Come on.
01:01:18Get up.
01:01:19Come on.
01:01:20Get up.
01:01:21Come on.
01:01:22Jenny.
01:01:23Run.
01:01:24Run.
01:01:30Go.
01:01:31Go.
01:01:34Come on.
01:01:35Come on.
01:01:36Go.
01:01:37Jenny.
01:01:38Go.
01:01:40Dinner.
01:01:41Shh.
01:01:42Shh.
01:01:43Bridget.
01:01:44Be quiet.
01:01:45If we get caught, we'll get in trouble.
01:01:47And so will Samantha's family.
01:01:48Why can't we live here?
01:01:49We're wards of the state.
01:01:51That's what Mrs. Frouchy calls us.
01:01:52We belong to them.
01:01:53To the state?
01:01:54Yes.
01:01:55And if anyone finds us here, they'll be made to turn us in.
01:01:58So you must be quiet now.
01:02:00Do you understand?
01:02:02It's all right for now.
01:02:04Eat up.
01:02:05There's turkey and dressing and cranberries.
01:02:08Slower, Jenny.
01:02:10I put fresh pajamas on the bed.
01:02:13How'd you get all this up here?
01:02:16I told Gertrude it was for a family in need.
01:02:19And it is.
01:02:20So nice and warm.
01:02:23Oh, no.
01:02:24They're home.
01:02:25I'll try to come up after.
01:02:27How can I ever thank you?
01:02:33You're my friend.
01:02:34That's what friends do.
01:02:40Samantha's been here all afternoon.
01:02:43Are you certain?
01:02:44Samantha?
01:02:46Yes?
01:02:52Any further questions?
01:02:54My matron informed me that she was at the orphanage a short while ago.
01:02:58A few of my girls have since gone missing, along with $200.
01:03:03What are you implying?
01:03:05If I find that she has been involved, I'll report her to the authorities.
01:03:10You'll not make threats here.
01:03:16Good day.
01:03:19I said good day.
01:03:29I hope they don't find out.
01:03:31Do you think she knows?
01:03:33I'm not sure.
01:03:36She said she'd go to the police.
01:03:39And that we took money.
01:03:42That's a terrible lie.
01:03:44No, Samantha.
01:03:45I don't want you to get in any trouble on my account.
01:03:48I'm going to find a job.
01:03:50As soon as I can.
01:03:52So we can get a room of our own.
01:03:54Someone will hire me.
01:03:56I miss my dad.
01:03:57Don't worry, Nellie.
01:03:58I'm not going to let anything happen to any of you.
01:04:02I promise.
01:04:03Gertrude had a visitor today.
01:04:05Mrs. Frouchy.
01:04:06What did you want?
01:04:07Hard to say, madam.
01:04:08But it seemed to me she was accusing our Samantha of stealing.
01:04:11Gertrude, we must do something to stop this woman.
01:04:26Gertrude.
01:04:27Gertrude, let's stop this woman.
01:04:38Gertrude, let's stop this woman.
01:04:43Dear Grand Mary, it's almost Christmas, and I can't wait to see you.
01:05:12Cornelia and I are making our own ornaments for the Christmas tree and making cookies and
01:05:18fruitcakes and even plum pudding, though I'm not sure we did it right.
01:05:30Since Nelly is in New York City now, all that's missing is you.
01:05:35Love, Samantha.
01:05:42I'm not sure we're going to get you.
01:05:49I'm not sure we're going to get you.
01:05:53I'm not sure we're going to get you.
01:06:01Jenny, what are you doing down here?
01:06:08Is something wrong?
01:06:09What's the matter?
01:06:10What is it?
01:06:11All right.
01:06:12I'll come with you.
01:06:15Jenny, what are you doing down here?
01:06:22Is something wrong?
01:06:23What's the matter?
01:06:24What is it?
01:06:25All right.
01:06:26I'll come with you.
01:06:28Richard, are you all right?
01:06:29You're so hot.
01:06:30Running up.
01:06:35Do you know where Nelly went?
01:06:36Was she looking to find a job?
01:06:38No.
01:06:39No.
01:06:40No.
01:06:41No.
01:06:42No.
01:06:43No.
01:06:44No.
01:06:45No.
01:06:46No.
01:06:47No.
01:06:48No.
01:06:49No.
01:06:50No.
01:06:51No.
01:06:52No.
01:06:53No.
01:06:54No.
01:06:55No.
01:06:56No.
01:06:57No.
01:06:58No.
01:06:59No.
01:07:00No.
01:07:12No.
01:07:13Whoa.
01:07:14Was she looking to find a job?
01:07:15No.
01:07:17Is this where she went?
01:07:23No.
01:07:24OK.
01:07:26All right.
01:07:56Put your name on that list.
01:08:13If you can't write, make an X.
01:08:15Get in line behind them.
01:08:16Help!
01:08:18Help!
01:08:19Hold on, man!
01:08:20Help!
01:08:21Help!
01:08:22No, please!
01:08:23Help!
01:08:24If that needle breaks, it comes out of your peg.
01:08:26No, don't!
01:08:27Quiet!
01:08:29Oh, look, I need a fork!
01:08:33Let's see what you've done.
01:08:35Go on, get him out of here!
01:08:36Come on out here and we'll have a look at it.
01:08:41Hold it tight now.
01:08:42Hold it tight.
01:08:48All right, we got an opening now.
01:08:53Come on.
01:08:54Hurry up.
01:08:57Sir?
01:08:59Sir?
01:09:00I'm looking for my friend.
01:09:02This ain't a tea party.
01:09:04You want to see your friend?
01:09:05Get in line behind them.
01:09:06Wait till 7 o'clock.
01:09:08No, sir.
01:09:09I can't wait.
01:09:10This is an emergency.
01:09:12Oh, there she is.
01:09:13Hey!
01:09:13I can't wait.
01:09:14I can't wait.
01:09:14I can't wait.
01:09:15I can't wait.
01:09:15Ellie!
01:09:16Ellie, come quick!
01:09:18Hey!
01:09:19Leave the machine, lose the machine.
01:09:21Them's the rules.
01:09:22Bridget is sick.
01:09:23Come on!
01:09:25You decide, girly.
01:09:26You leave now, you don't come back.
01:09:30No, no, no, not here.
01:09:33All right, we got an opening now.
01:09:36Next!
01:09:36Why didn't you tell me what factory work is like?
01:09:41Nobody wants to know where their frogs come from, just so they keep coming.
01:09:44Are all factories like that?
01:09:48All the ones I've seen?
01:09:50I'm worried, Samantha.
01:09:51I don't want to lose Bridget, too.
01:09:53Come on, let's run.
01:10:03She's burning up, Samantha.
01:10:06I've never seen her this bad.
01:10:10It's my fault for leaving.
01:10:14It's so cold in here.
01:10:27Hello, Angel.
01:10:28Big day's coming, isn't it?
01:10:30How's the speech?
01:10:32You nervous?
01:10:33I can't wait to hear it all the way through.
01:10:36I need to talk to you.
01:10:39Both.
01:10:43We're listening.
01:10:44I did something wrong, and I need help.
01:10:51Nellie's sister, Bridget, is sick.
01:10:59Upstairs.
01:11:00Upstairs?
01:11:01Upstairs?
01:11:01She's quite dehydrated.
01:11:10Under my orders, you're not to move her.
01:11:12At least for a few weeks, until she gets her strength back.
01:11:15Of course, Doctor.
01:11:16Any improvement?
01:11:21Not yet.
01:11:22All the girls have to stay here until the patient recovers.
01:11:25I'll be back in the morning to check on her.
01:11:27Thank you, Doctor.
01:11:27I'll see you out.
01:11:30Gertrude's made up beds for you in Samantha's room.
01:11:33Go on up now.
01:11:34I'll go sit with Bridget.
01:11:35Samantha brought us here...
01:11:37to save me from being sent on the orphan train without my sisters.
01:11:42They're not supposed to separate families.
01:11:45Ma'am, they do a lot of things they're not supposed to.
01:11:48Good night, and thank you for your kindness.
01:11:58Good night, Nellie.
01:11:59Good night, Nellie.
01:12:00Good night, Jenny.
01:12:01Gertrude?
01:12:02Good night, Jenny.
01:12:03Good night, Nellie.
01:12:09I'm sorry, Uncle Gar, Aunt Cornelia.
01:12:18You can't break the law, Samantha.
01:12:22Even when a law seems unfair.
01:12:23But I had no choice.
01:12:25You always have the choice to come to me.
01:12:27You know that.
01:12:28But you don't even want me here.
01:12:30Why would you want three girls who aren't related to you?
01:12:34Who says we don't want you here?
01:12:37At Cornelia's friends.
01:12:39My friends?
01:12:40At the wedding.
01:12:42They said it was a shame that I was coming here.
01:12:45Oh, Samantha.
01:12:46Don't think for a minute that's how I feel.
01:12:50They were just jealous and mean and petty.
01:12:54You're our family, Samantha.
01:12:56I want you here.
01:12:59Yes, Aunt Cornelia.
01:13:08No one touched Mrs. Fauci's money.
01:13:11We know that.
01:13:13Please don't make Nellie go back.
01:13:15They can't go back there.
01:13:18I have no alternative, Samantha.
01:13:21I must inform the authorities they're here.
01:13:25No!
01:13:25No!
01:13:35Would you like some tea?
01:13:36No, thank you.
01:13:38I'll be brief.
01:13:39Before you speak,
01:13:40I'd like to say
01:13:42that we are not going to press charges
01:13:44against the Parkington girl.
01:13:46As long as she returns the money she took.
01:13:48She claims she didn't take it.
01:13:50Well...
01:13:50You know, with Christmas coming,
01:13:56we may have to rely once more
01:13:58on generous benefactors such as yourself.
01:14:01We don't want to disappoint the children.
01:14:03No, we don't, which is why
01:14:04Mrs. Fauci,
01:14:06we're replacing you.
01:14:08What?
01:14:10Your what?
01:14:12The board of directors is unhappy
01:14:13with the way you've been running Cold Rock.
01:14:15It was never our intention
01:14:16to fund a prison,
01:14:17and there have been indications
01:14:18for some while that
01:14:19funds
01:14:20have been misappropriated.
01:14:24You simply can't be serious.
01:14:29Oh, yes.
01:14:32I simply can.
01:14:34Good day.
01:14:47Factories will produce many goods
01:14:49at the same time,
01:14:50and that's why factories
01:14:51are the golden future of America.
01:14:59And the final speaker
01:15:01will be
01:15:01Samantha Parkington.
01:15:15Americans are very proud
01:15:17of being modern.
01:15:18We are proud of our progress,
01:15:20and we are proud of the machines
01:15:22in our factories
01:15:23and the products that they make.
01:15:26But Americans are proud
01:15:28of being truthful, too.
01:15:31Last week,
01:15:32I went to a factory,
01:15:34and what I saw
01:15:35was nothing like
01:15:36what I had been told.
01:15:38There were children,
01:15:40younger than I am,
01:15:41working from early morning
01:15:43until after dark.
01:15:45They were dirty.
01:15:46They were cold,
01:15:48and they couldn't leave.
01:15:51They don't have time
01:15:53to go to school,
01:15:54and they are too tired
01:15:55to play.
01:15:56Children are hurt
01:15:57in these places.
01:15:59I know.
01:16:00I saw one.
01:16:03If our factories
01:16:05can hurt children,
01:16:07then we have not made
01:16:08good progress in America.
01:16:10these words
01:16:11are not the words
01:16:12I had written,
01:16:14but are the words
01:16:14that I need to say.
01:16:17Americans are good and kind,
01:16:20and good and kind people
01:16:21take care of children,
01:16:23even if they are not their own.
01:16:26And once we do that,
01:16:28we can truly be proud
01:16:30of our factories
01:16:31and of our progress.
01:16:36We're so proud of you.
01:16:53Grandmary.
01:16:56You were here.
01:17:00Oh, I missed you.
01:17:02I missed you, too.
01:17:03Did you know that we're coming?
01:17:05We wanted it to be a surprise.
01:17:07You were magnificent.
01:17:09How did you know
01:17:10about factories?
01:17:12Because of Nellie.
01:17:13I went to go get her
01:17:14at her work, and...
01:17:16Oh, forgive me.
01:17:17You remember Admiral B. Miss?
01:17:19Very nice to see you again, Abby.
01:17:21That was a very impressive
01:17:22speech, Samantha.
01:17:24No wonder your grandmother
01:17:25talks about you so much.
01:17:27Excuse me.
01:17:29Samantha,
01:17:30that speech was not
01:17:31the speech that you
01:17:32entered in the contest.
01:17:34I changed it
01:17:35when I saw the truth.
01:17:36I'm afraid you've been
01:17:37disqualified from the competition.
01:17:39Disqualified?
01:17:40For telling the truth?
01:17:41She won me over.
01:17:43And I'm a much harsher judge,
01:17:45I can assure you.
01:17:47I believe it takes
01:17:48two to speak the truth.
01:17:50One to speak it,
01:17:51and the other to hear.
01:17:54I beg your pardon.
01:17:58I'd like you to give that speech
01:18:00to my women's group, Samantha.
01:18:03We're very proud of you.
01:18:05How do you feel, Samantha?
01:18:06I feel that Gertrude is overworked,
01:18:09which is why she's so slow.
01:18:12Slow?
01:18:13She needs help.
01:18:19Cornelia, you've created a crusader.
01:18:21After all, it is a very large house
01:18:24for one person to keep.
01:18:26And how many more maids
01:18:27do we need?
01:18:28Three.
01:18:29Which is really four,
01:18:30counting Gertrude.
01:18:31Besides,
01:18:32if I come to visit more often...
01:18:34What do you mean if?
01:18:35You're going to need more help.
01:18:37I'm a handful.
01:18:43Samantha,
01:18:44Cornelia and I were hoping
01:18:46that you'd like to come
01:18:47stay here with us.
01:18:49Permanently.
01:18:49You mean leave Mount Bedford?
01:18:55For good?
01:18:57But what about Grand Mary?
01:18:58I don't want her to be all alone.
01:19:00She won't be.
01:19:01Because Grand Mary
01:19:03has finally decided...
01:19:05No.
01:19:05Yes, she's accepted
01:19:06the Admiral's proposal.
01:19:08Which is why we hope
01:19:09you consider staying with us.
01:19:11What do you say, Samantha?
01:19:12Do you adopt us?
01:19:15Will I?
01:19:22Yes.
01:19:33I'll take this, baby.
01:19:36Here you are.
01:19:42Oh, it's so beautiful.
01:19:45It's so great, Miss.
01:19:46Oh, Samantha.
01:19:48To this girl.
01:19:49Who did all this?
01:19:51I did, Miss.
01:19:53With a little help.
01:19:54It's the prettiest tree
01:19:55I've ever seen.
01:19:57You're probably worn out.
01:19:59You should rest.
01:20:01Really.
01:20:03Save your strength.
01:20:08Can we open prison stuff?
01:20:10Not now.
01:20:11No, not until tomorrow.
01:20:12Tomorrow.
01:20:13But you can start
01:20:14working on your notes
01:20:15to Santa.
01:20:16And there's hot chocolate
01:20:17in the kitchen.
01:20:18Ooh.
01:20:20Um, Gertrude?
01:20:22Oh.
01:20:26Uncle Gar?
01:20:28Does Santa know
01:20:29that Nellie
01:20:29and her sisters are here?
01:20:31Believe me, Samantha.
01:20:33Santa knows everything.
01:20:37Thanks.
01:20:37Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:38Thanks.
01:20:39Thanks.
01:20:39Thanks.
01:20:39Thanks.
01:20:39Thanks.
01:20:39Thanks.
01:20:40Thanks.
01:20:40Thanks.
01:20:40Thanks.
01:20:41Thanks.
01:20:41Thanks.
01:20:41Thanks.
01:20:42Thanks.
01:20:42Thanks.
01:20:42Thanks.
01:20:43Thanks.
01:20:44Oh, just a moment.
01:20:45Let me get the notes
01:20:46for Santa.
01:20:47The notes.
01:20:47Nellie and Jenny.
01:20:49Yes.
01:20:51Do you want to do
01:20:51Bridget's too, since?
01:20:53Okay.
01:20:55Girls.
01:20:56Look for Santa.
01:20:58I imagine you'll be
01:20:59very thirsty.
01:21:00Yes.
01:21:06What is all this?
01:21:08It's for the
01:21:08orphanage.
01:21:09Quite a bounty.
01:21:10Oh, this is nothing.
01:21:11I think Cornelia's arranged for a whole Christmas feast tomorrow.
01:21:14She's got half of New York donating presents and clothes and food.
01:21:17May I help?
01:21:18Yes.
01:21:22I can't believe we're here.
01:21:24It's so wonderful that we can be together, Nellie.
01:21:29This is my favorite Christmas Eve.
01:21:32I wonder where we'll be next Christmas.
01:21:35Let's make a wish.
01:21:38Up there, some places are wishing star.
01:21:44Make your wish, Nellie.
01:21:46Close your eyes tight.
01:21:48Wish like you've never wished before.
01:21:51I'm wishing, Samantha.
01:21:53I'm wishing.
01:22:01Merry Christmas, Bridget!
01:22:03Merry Christmas!
01:22:04Merry Christmas!
01:22:05Oh, Bridget!
01:22:06How's our patient?
01:22:07Hungry.
01:22:09Well, let's go have Christmas!
01:22:10Oh, Christmas!
01:22:12Merry Christmas, too!
01:22:13Merry Christmas, too!
01:22:17Merry Christmas, too.
01:22:18I'm so beautiful.
01:22:19Cool!
01:22:22Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:23Before you start screaming at all the silly little things Santa's left you,
01:22:26there's something we need to tell you.
01:22:28Uncle God?
01:22:29Uncle Garth?
01:22:31Samantha asked if we would let you three girls come and be maids.
01:22:36Oh, yes, sir. We'll work very hard morning tonight, sir.
01:22:40But we don't need any more maids.
01:22:42However, Samantha's gonna live with us permanently.
01:22:48And there's one thing she needs that we would love to give her.
01:22:51She needs three sisters.
01:22:53But not just any three sisters. She needs you.
01:22:58All of you. What do you say?
01:23:01Oh, yes! Sisters, Samantha!
01:23:04Sisters!
01:23:06God, Cornelia and I want all four of you to be our girls.
01:23:10To live here in this house and grow up together as one family.
01:23:15Would you like that, Bridget?
01:23:16Oh, yes.
01:23:18Jenny? Jenny?
01:23:19Jenny says yes. Jenny says yes, sir.
01:23:22She's talking!
01:23:24She's talking!
01:23:25That's my girl!
01:23:28Come on!
01:23:30Uh-huh!
01:23:32Merry Christmas!
01:23:34Merry Christmas!
01:23:39Merry Christmas!
01:23:41Great Christmas, Avril!
01:23:46This one's for you!
01:23:50This one's for you.
01:23:58There you go.
01:23:59Thank you, and Merry Christmas.
01:24:04Wait to see all their happy faces.
01:24:08Merry Christmas!
01:24:10Merry Christmas!
01:24:12Merry Christmas!
01:24:14Merry Christmas!
01:24:16Merry Christmas!
01:24:18Merry Christmas!
01:24:20Merry Christmas!
01:24:22Merry Christmas!
01:24:24Merry Christmas!
01:24:26Merry Christmas!
