00:01Previously on When Help Calls.
00:30Is that a yes?
00:30You're not named Jenny.
00:32My real name is Dolores.
00:34We'll all miss you.
00:35I will miss you all too.
00:37We can offer you room and board in exchange for your help here.
01:28We can offer you room and board in exchange for your help here.
01:36Breakfast on me, of course.
01:39I gotta get used to picking up the tab.
01:41Yes.
01:42About that.
01:44I have a telegram here from the gold office.
01:47So?
01:48Am I officially a rich man?
01:51I'm afraid not.
01:54What?
01:54What do you mean?
01:56They denied your claim.
01:58Another prospector says he worked the land before you.
02:01No, that can't be right.
02:03They say the claim predates yours.
02:05No one else worked that land.
02:08I gotta go to Franklin.
02:09I gotta talk to the gold office.
02:10I gotta set them straight.
02:11I don't think that that's the best idea.
02:14This is the kind of thing you have to do in person.
02:16I agree.
02:18I'll go tomorrow as your legal representative.
02:22Okay.
02:23Thanks, but I'm going with you.
02:25Honestly, in my experience, I get the best results alone.
02:32I will do the very best I can for you, Sam.
02:35Do you trust me?
02:39I guess.
02:40Yes.
02:43Thanks.
02:46There we are.
02:48Uh, sorry, Ronnie.
02:51I think I lost my appetite.
02:54You're not planning on skipping out on me, are you?
02:57I'll take the breakfast and cover it.
03:00Oh.
03:01Very well.
03:03Enjoy.
03:13So, headed to Franklin tomorrow?
03:16Uh, yes, I am.
03:19As it happens, I have to go to Franklin this week.
03:22Not any business.
03:24Might I accompany you?
03:25That'd be nice.
03:27If you're sure it's convenient.
03:29I'm thinking there might be rattlesnakes between here and Franklin.
03:33You never know.
03:34Better to be safe than sorry, I suppose.
03:37Does nine sound good?
03:39Sounds great.
03:42Oh.
03:54We got a stray.
03:56I've got it.
03:58Come on.
04:00Come on.
04:01Hey.
04:02Ambrose.
04:04Hey, Ambrose, I said I've got it.
04:24You're undermining my authority with the ranch hands.
04:27That was not my intent.
04:28I might be a little rusty, but I could have gotten that cow.
04:30I've worked this ranch before.
04:34What?
04:36Worked?
04:37Really?
04:38I came here every summer for years.
04:40My Uncle Ray put me to work.
04:42Yeah, the thing is, your uncle didn't really put you to work.
04:44I'm sure he was just humoring you.
04:46Excuse me?
04:48I came out wrong.
04:50Oh, you're right about that.
04:53Talking's not my strong suit.
04:58The Lawrence ranch was here before you were the foreman.
05:00It'll be here long after you're gone.
05:04Very true.
05:17Hey, Ken.
05:19Seen any more wolves out at your place?
05:21Glad to say I haven't.
05:23Why?
05:23What's going on?
05:24Uh, just down a few head.
05:27It's not wolves.
05:28Maybe something else.
05:29Last year we had some cougars coming through.
05:32Yeah, maybe.
05:34Yeah.
05:36Wouldn't want to be in your shoes.
05:37Tess comes home and finds too many cattle, listen.
05:49Ready to sign, Miss Lawrence?
05:52It's the standard contract the bank issues all ranchers.
05:56Everyone needs a line of credit this time of year.
05:59Well, my St. Louis lawyer says not to sign something,
06:01unless I've read every word.
06:04Wise advice.
06:05When you've looked it over, you can sign,
06:07and the money is yours for a year.
06:10Page 4, Section 13B.
06:19Yes, I see the clause about your foreman.
06:22Says if the ranch is run without Wyatt Parker
06:25or another bank-approved foreman, you can foreclose.
06:27That's right.
06:28Is that standard as well?
06:30I was advised that in your particular situation,
06:33the bank needed this clause.
06:34In my particular situation.
06:38I admire your initiative in taking on your uncle's ranch.
06:41I do.
06:42But you must acknowledge that you're not a standard rancher.
06:47Our other clients have been running their ranches for a long time.
06:49I'm a quick learner.
06:51I see that, besides the ranch,
06:54your only collateral is a dress boutique in St. Louis.
06:58Is that correct?
06:59Yes, that's my other business.
07:00So you are asking me to give money to a new rancher
07:03who is distracted by another business
07:05and whose main focus is designing dresses?
07:08I can do both.
07:09I'm afraid we need someone running your ranch
07:11who knows what's what.
07:15Scene.
07:16Excellent.
07:20I'm not comfortable with this contract.
07:22The way it's written,
07:23if Wyatt Parker decides he doesn't want to work for me
07:25or takes off for any reason at all,
07:28I could lose my uncle's ranch.
07:30I have to think about this.
07:31Unfortunately, we can't move forward without that clause.
07:34I see.
07:43You're not happy, boss?
07:46I'm not sure.
07:48I need you to go up the foothills to the south pasture
07:50and do a rough count of the cattle up there.
07:53Want me to go too, boss?
07:54Nope.
07:55Me and you have fence posts to tend to.
08:01Boss, I'm waiting.
08:03I won't.
08:04Hi, Nora.
08:06Sorry, I hate to interrupt.
08:07I was hoping to have a legal consultation.
08:09Sure.
08:11We'll pick this up later, children.
08:16Of course.
08:17Okay.
08:18We'll play later, Miss Nora.
08:20But you're it.
08:21Hey!
08:25Come on in.
08:26Thank you so much.
08:28Of course.
08:35Sam.
08:40What's wrong?
08:44You're busy.
08:45I've always got time for you.
08:49My gold claim got rejected.
08:51Someone else said he was there first.
08:54Nora's going to try and sort it out in Franklin.
08:57I'm sorry.
08:59But Nora seems like a really good lawyer.
09:01At first I couldn't believe I might be rich.
09:03Now I can't believe I might not be.
09:05Well, let's see what Nora can do.
09:07What if it turns out that I'm just...
09:10Sam the Handyman again?
09:13Well, I happen to be rather fond of Sam the Handyman.
09:26You wanted to see me?
09:28There was a little wrinkle in my loan application.
09:30I found a way we can make it work.
09:32Yeah?
09:33I had Nora draw up a year-long employee contract for you to sign.
09:37Guarantees you your position as foreman.
09:39Gives me the assurance that she won't leave me high and dry.
09:42This way I can sign the bank loan and we're all happy.
09:45Oh.
09:46Earlier you implied I was pretty irrelevant.
09:50Never used that word.
09:53You're important here.
09:56So important that I wanted to guarantee you your job for at least a year.
09:59So if you could sign at the bottom.
10:05Go ahead.
10:05Read it all the way through.
10:07You know what?
10:09No need.
10:10Great.
10:11You can just sign here.
10:12Yeah, I don't think so.
10:13What?
10:14Why?
10:16Never signed anything with your uncle.
10:18Never had a lawyer draft up a contract.
10:21We shook hands.
10:22That was good enough for us.
10:24Wait.
10:28If you don't sign, then I'm not comfortable with the loan conditions.
10:31And without that money, we can't keep the ranch going.
10:38At least think about it.
10:59Is this the lady's name again?
11:00Her name is Miss Ainsworth.
11:03Miss Lillian asked the Children's Bureau to send someone to help while she's away.
11:06Maybe this lady likes to pick cookies and play catch.
11:11I think that's her.
11:15Are you Miss Ainsworth?
11:16Yes, I am.
11:18Yes, I am, young man.
11:19I'm Nora Anderson.
11:21I'm so sorry we weren't there to meet you when the stagecoach arrived.
11:24We were an hour early, so I understand.
11:27May I carry your bag for you?
11:29That's very kind.
11:32Oh, uh, maybe I should carry it.
11:35And when I need a rest, you can help me out.
11:38That'd be good.
11:39I'm Wally.
11:40Very pleased to meet you, Wally.
11:42Thank you for coming.
11:43Oh, of course.
11:45Now we can go get Miss Debbie's cherry tarts.
11:47They're really good.
11:48I'm sure they are.
11:50Nevertheless, it's too early for sweets.
11:53And I imagine there are chores waiting.
11:57Miss Ainsworth's right.
12:00Right this way?
12:06Whoa.
12:08Whoa.
12:09What's going on, Miss?
12:10Missing a few head.
12:11Wondering if you've had any problems.
12:13We've got Fenton over in the South Paschal right now doing a headcount.
12:16We may have lost a few more than usual.
12:19Want to go check it out with me?
12:21I'd like to get an answer before Tess comes back from Cape Fullerton.
12:25Hi.
12:26You must be Hannah Lawrence.
12:27I'm Lucy Clay.
12:28Nice to meet you.
12:29Tom Clay's daughter.
12:32That's right.
12:32I remember seeing you a few times in town when I visited my uncle.
12:37Ray was a good man.
12:38I'm very sorry for your loss.
12:42Would you like to come in for a coffee?
12:43I'd love to, but I actually came over hoping to bore your foreman here.
12:48Then why is that?
12:49I'm Tess Stewart's foreman now.
12:51And we think we might have a problem with a predator.
12:54Oh, I didn't know.
12:56Wyatt over here is probably too modest to tell you, but he's the very best tracker around.
13:02I was hoping he could help me out.
13:04Of course.
13:08I'd love some rain check on that coffee, though.
13:10Absolutely.
13:10Thanks for lending me Wyatt.
13:14Ready?
13:15Let's go.
13:27Goodbye, Charlotte.
13:28Bye, Miss Nora.
13:30I'll see you tonight.
13:31Have a nice day.
13:35You smell good.
13:37Oh, thank you.
13:39That is my French scent.
13:41Parfum de jonquil.
13:43Oh, I forgot to ask Miss Nora to do my hair.
13:47If you wear a French scent, can you make a French braid?
13:50Oh, we do have to get going with our day, dear.
13:54I'll give you a nice, quick, tidy ponytail instead.
13:59Oh, okay.
14:05I don't think we've met.
14:07I'm Miss Ainsworth.
14:08Hi, my name is Dolores.
14:10You work here?
14:10In exchange for room and board.
14:13Did you make these lovely sandwiches?
14:14I did.
14:15It's laundry day for Eleanor, so I made lunch.
14:18They look scrumptious.
14:20Shall we?
14:24I cut off the crust, just so you like.
14:26Seems like a waste of good bread to me.
14:29Well, it's the little things that make this place a home.
14:35Oh, bless you.
14:37Dolores makes the best sandwiches.
14:40I'm sure she does, but manners, please.
14:42We must finish eating before we speak.
14:45I told him that before.
14:47After lunch, we can show you the doll Dolores made me.
14:50And finish our ball game.
14:52Well, we'll see.
14:53We must finish our chores first.
14:56Have some vegetables.
14:58They will help you grow big and strong.
15:04Another sneeze.
15:05That doesn't sound good.
15:07I'm fine.
15:08I think maybe it's just the funny smell in here.
15:14Oh, oh.
15:16Dolores, where is your cod liver oil?
15:20Still, I believe Stephen here is in need of a good dose.
15:33So, what takes you to Franklin?
15:36I'm going to give a deposition.
15:38From one of your former cases?
15:40Lawyer's trying to get a bad guy off on a technicality.
15:43My deposition should put him in prison.
15:46Does that offend you?
15:48Not at all.
15:50If that's where he belongs.
15:52You're not rooting for the accused?
15:54Not if they're guilty.
15:59Think you can help Sam?
16:02I'm going to try.
16:09Oh, hello.
16:10You must be Miss Ainsworth.
16:11I'm Miss Maggie.
16:12Nora told me you'd be helping out.
16:14Pleased to meet you.
16:15Are you feeling okay, Stephen?
16:16I'm afraid he's not.
16:18He has been sneezing since I came.
16:21Of course, I had him wash up with a strong disinfectant.
16:25Oh, I see you did.
16:27She did.
16:28I gave him a good dose of cod liver oil
16:30and cooked up some nettle soup.
16:33I see you gave him nettle soup.
16:35She did.
16:36But he is still sneezing,
16:38so I thought I'd better bring him in.
16:41All right, Stephen.
16:42Let's take a seat and we'll have a look.
16:47Okay, pop this under your tongue.
16:49Mouth closed.
16:50Let me check your pulse.
17:02Everything seems all right.
17:03Maybe just, uh, take it easy for the day.
17:06All right.
17:07Stephen, let's head back.
17:16Oh, but, um, perhaps he's a trifle warm.
17:20I don't think he has a fever.
17:22It may be old-fashioned, but, you know,
17:23my parents swore by leeches.
17:27You know what?
17:28Maybe I should keep an eye on him
17:30because we wouldn't want him to infect everyone at the orphanage.
17:33Oh, yes.
17:34A good idea.
17:36Yeah.
17:37Definitely a good idea.
17:39Unless you're feeling better.
17:40Achoo.
17:41Oh, achoo.
17:41Oh, achoo.
17:42Okay, um, thank you, Miss Answorth.
17:44Oh, mm-hmm.
17:46Yeah.
17:49Come in.
17:50Sorry, ma'am.
17:52Uh, wondered if you, uh,
17:55knew where I might find Wyatt.
17:57He had to head out.
17:58What can I help you with?
17:59Oh, nothing, ma'am.
18:01It's just Fenton's still up in the foothills,
18:03and there's a lot of chores to get through.
18:05Oh, I can help.
18:06Oh, no, ma'am.
18:07Uh, uh, I got chores in the corral, the barn.
18:10You get all dirty.
18:12You worked for my uncle, right?
18:14Sure did.
18:15Good man.
18:16You think Ray Lawrence would let his niece
18:18spend Summer's share without pitching him with chores?
18:21No, that, uh, doesn't sound like Ray at all.
18:23He expects you to do your share.
18:26Exactly.
18:28We need some reminders,
18:29but I'm not afraid of hard work.
18:34Hey.
18:35Oh.
18:39We brushed your shoes clean.
18:42We've let the polish dry.
18:43I will show you how to buff them into a lovely shine.
18:47Art, if you would be so kind
18:49as to hold the shoe down for me,
18:52I'll show you how to buff them correctly.
18:59See how nice that's starting to look?
19:01Let's see you finish it up.
19:03Wally can hold the shoe for you.
19:06Then maybe we can play?
19:07Of course.
19:08You can play for 25 minutes after chores.
19:18Okay, I'm done.
19:19I can do the other one now.
19:20Well, let's see.
19:23You're off to a nice start,
19:25but I do believe you missed a few spots.
19:28You want the whole shoe to shine.
19:32And when Stephen feels better,
19:34you can teach him how to polish his shoes perfectly.
19:37I would, but I think maybe...
19:41Maybe I'm catching what Steve has.
19:45Oh, dear.
19:46You do sound ill.
19:47Should I go to the infirmary?
19:49You know, that might be wise.
19:51I could try the cod liver oil.
19:55Or I could just take you to the infirmary
19:57before you infect anyone else.
19:59The infirmary's probably safest.
20:08Oh, man.
20:09I could do the race.
20:10You're tired, too.
20:11I'll help finish this up.
20:13Thank you, ma'am.
20:15You're okay climbing up there?
20:17I'm fine.
20:18I'm not going to lie.
20:19I'm not fond of heights.
20:21I'm happy to help.
20:23I may not be as strong as you,
20:24but I can climb.
20:26I sure do appreciate that.
20:28I would also appreciate
20:29if you didn't mention any of this to the boss.
20:32I mean, the other boss.
20:35Won't say a word.
20:37So, the other boss, Wyatt,
20:41how is he to work for?
20:43He's one of the finest men I know.
20:45I'm not saying he's easy.
20:47Tough, but fair.
20:49Loyal.
20:50He's the best.
20:54That's good to know.
20:55Yeah, couldn't ask for a better foreman.
20:57I mean, he'd certainly give me the what-for
20:59if he knew I'd let you do all those chores
21:01and climb up there.
21:03Oh!
21:05Glad to know you're so good with hats.
21:12Upon my review, I found a claim by one Rufus Shepard
21:17predated your client's application by six months.
21:20I'd like to review this competing claim.
21:23I can't just open my books to anyone who walks through the door.
21:27I'm a lawyer.
21:28Then go to court.
21:30But I'll tell you,
21:31the determinations of our office have never been reversed.
21:35It was the first time for everything.
21:40Excuse me for just a moment.
21:53I'm sorry my supervisor is in clear water.
21:56He'll be back tomorrow.
22:01I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpless.
22:04If you'll excuse me.
22:06Of course.
22:25Uh, hello?
22:28Sorry.
22:29That's okay.
22:30Are you okay?
22:31I am.
22:32But what is going on here?
22:34Children all sick?
22:35Uh, not exactly.
22:37I hate it for long, sorry.
22:39I'm helping Nurse Maggie organize.
22:40I can see that.
22:42Are you feeling sick, Sam?
22:44Uh, not sick, but I'm a little on edge.
22:48Why?
22:49I'm waiting for news, and I'm not too good at waiting.
22:52Neither are Steve or Art.
22:56You know what calms me down, though?
22:58Having something to do.
22:59Maybe I can help out here.
23:00Oh, that would be great.
23:01Yes, please.
23:05Ah.
23:09Ooh.
23:13What is it?
23:14Maybe a grizzly.
23:16Could be a big one.
23:18Hope not.
23:20Last time I ran into a grizzly, I was a kid on my dad's ranch.
23:26But your pa didn't say too kindly to you working for tests.
23:30I didn't get a choice, really.
23:32My brother's getting the clay ranch.
23:37What about you?
23:40I've known you for a long time.
23:41I don't think I've ever heard you talk about your folks.
23:47Not much to tell.
23:49When did you see them last?
23:51Left when I was 17.
23:52Went to the rodeo.
23:55Never looked back.
23:57You haven't been home since you were 17?
24:00Nope.
24:05I guess Ray was kind of your family for the last while.
24:11Huh?
24:13Yeah.
24:15I guess he was.
24:22How did the deposition go?
24:24Good.
24:25That man's going to jail where he belongs.
24:28And the claim?
24:31Something's off.
24:32The other miner, Rufus Shepard, he's got three claims at the gold office right now.
24:39Doesn't that seem suspicious?
24:41Might be.
24:43How'd you find that out?
24:44I saw the files on the clerk's desk, but he wouldn't let me take a look inside them.
24:50I'd love to know where Mr. Shepard's minds are.
24:54You have investigative work.
24:56Right up my alley.
24:58Sounds like we better go back and check this out.
25:00But the clerk said I couldn't take a look at the files.
25:03Right.
25:04But I have a plan.
25:06I like a man with a plan.
25:14Got your hands full today?
25:16I do.
25:17But Sam's been a big help.
25:21I bet that hurts.
25:23I landed on my backside and the rung hit my knee.
25:27Or evidence for Wyatt that I don't know how to be a rancher.
25:31It's not your fault the ladder broke.
25:33I guess it's just Wyatt's not keen on working for me.
25:38And without his commitment, I don't know if I can keep the ranch.
25:41I get why you want him to sign a contract.
25:43But, you know, Brookfield, it's more just trust.
25:47My trust, Wyatt.
25:50Doesn't mean I'm ready to risk the ranch on whether he wants to hang around or not.
25:53You know, I didn't know your uncle very well, but I do know that he trusted Wyatt completely.
26:03It's my uncle's 60th birthday today.
26:07I was going to come up here and surprise him.
26:10I had it all planned out.
26:18I'm so sorry, Hannah.
26:21I don't know what else I can tell you, Miss Anderson.
26:24I need more information about the other climate.
26:27It's only fair to my client.
26:29My dear, I simply cannot help you.
26:33I understand.
26:35Glad.
26:36Which is why I'd like to follow up with your supervisor.
26:39Oh.
26:42I'm afraid my supervisor will not be available until tomorrow.
26:46I assure you, you would get the same response from him.
26:50Nonetheless.
26:54Constable.
26:56May I help you?
26:57Name's Fletcher.
26:58You are?
26:59Henry.
26:59Henry Smith.
27:00It's been an incident.
27:01I can't tell you much.
27:03As a fellow civil servant, I don't understand that you're confident you out.
27:06Of course.
27:07This is a rough likeness.
27:09I can invite with this at a local tea house.
27:11This person is dangerous and was last seen in this vicinity.
27:14May I?
27:15Yes.
27:15Look carefully.
27:17Have you seen this man?
27:20I don't think so.
27:22Again, it's important.
27:25Take your time.
27:30Sorry.
27:33You're busy, Mr. Smith.
27:36Mountie?
27:47Rufus Shepard has claims in all three areas.
27:51Within months of each other.
27:54How can he work in all those places at once?
27:56Something's off.
27:58Did you get an address?
27:59It's the same post office box for all three claims.
28:03That's odd.
28:05Time to pay a visit to this Rufus Shepard.
28:19Here comes Miss Ainsworth.
28:22Everybody on the cards.
28:25Lolli box, please.
28:27Please.
28:45Hello, nurse.
28:47I thought I'd better come and see how the children are doing.
28:49Hi.
28:50I'm Sam Tremblay, the local handyman.
28:54It's a pleasure.
28:55I'm Miss Ainsworth.
28:57How are they?
28:59They're...
29:00Actually, they're doing surprisingly well.
29:03Excellent.
29:04Perhaps well enough to come back to the orphanage.
29:10Maybe not that well.
29:13May I?
29:15Of course.
29:19Hello, children.
29:21How are you?
29:22Better.
29:23But still sick.
29:26Oh, yes.
29:27Still very sick.
29:29I think we should stay here.
29:31For now.
29:32You all do look a little flushed.
29:35When she returns, I'll let Miss Nora know that you're on the mend.
29:39Here.
29:45Nurse Maggie.
29:46Sam.
29:47You seem to have things under control.
29:49I will leave the children in your capable hands.
29:55That's, um, quite the sweet tooth you have there.
29:58How's that?
30:04Su-ra!
30:15Huh.
30:16Well, you want to know what happened?
30:17Oh.
30:20Miss Lawrence.
30:20Uh, there was a little accident.
30:23Yeah?
30:24She okay?
30:25She was cut.
30:26More like a scratch, really.
30:28It was her idea, boss.
30:29She insisted on going up.
30:31What was she even doing here?
30:33Well, you were with Lucy and Ben's still up on the, uh, foothills.
30:37So you asked Miss Lawrence to help you do your job?
30:39She was set on helping.
30:41Boss, really.
30:41I couldn't stop her.
30:43She helped me do all kinds of chores.
30:44She really is a hard worker, that one.
30:47No quitter.
30:50Where is she?
30:51I don't know.
30:52She went to town.
30:54Saw her come back, but she didn't stop at the house.
30:59I don't know where she is.
31:14Is this the right place?
31:16Yep.
31:16This is where the postmaster told us we could find Rufus Shepard.
31:19Looks more like a hunting cabin than the home of a rich gold miner.
31:24Let's leave the wagon back here.
31:26Something's odd.
31:32Is this the Shepard?
31:39Rufus?
31:42Rufus Shepard?
31:47Doesn't look like the door has a lock.
31:49It could just go in.
31:50As an officer of the law, I need a reason to enter someone's home.
31:54But I don't.
31:57Wait.
32:01Careful.
32:19Okay, buddy.
32:21Okay.
32:22It's okay.
32:23I...
32:24Oh, oh, oh!
32:26Oh, you're a sweetheart!
32:39Mr. Smith.
32:41I've got a few questions.
32:43Oh.
32:46You, uh...
32:47You find that man that you're looking for?
32:49Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you find it.
33:07He's got a knife!
33:09Come on!
33:11Get him!
33:11Go!
33:12Get him!
33:18Nice guard dog you got there.
33:20That's no guard dog.
33:22Michael, let me introduce you to Mr. Rufus Shepard.
33:28You're kidding.
33:30Nope.
33:42I'm trying, Uncle Ray.
33:43I'm really trying.
33:47I know you believed in me.
33:49I just...
33:50I...
33:51Not sure I believe in me.
33:59Wyatt.
34:00Sorry to intrude.
34:02I just, uh...
34:03Wanted to check on you.
34:04I heard about your fall.
34:05I'm fine.
34:08Ambrose really appreciated your help.
34:12He sure speaks well of you.
34:17I guess you were thinking about his birthday, too.
34:22I was.
34:24He always liked wildflowers.
34:28I was thinking about bringing peanuts and putting them out,
34:33and I realized the raccoons would have come and grabbed them.
34:38Good choice.
34:39I'm a Moravian too fond of the raccoons.
34:42No.
34:48Alright, I'll leave you.
34:50Sorry to interrupt.
35:00We can drop Mr. Smith off in Franklin.
35:03I know a few officers there.
35:05They'll hold him once I explain the charges.
35:07I'll go to the gold office.
35:09They'll have to approve Sam's claim now.
35:14What are we going to do about Rufus?
35:16Now that his owner is headed for jail.
35:30That's nice.
35:32You think she'll like it?
35:34I think she'll like it very much.
35:46How are you feeling, Ruby?
35:48No coughs.
35:48No sneezes.
35:49I'm fine.
35:51Why do you think that is?
35:56Why didn't you want to go to the infirmary with the other children?
36:02I didn't want you to feel bad.
36:06You, my dear, are a very sweet girl.
36:10Oh, I appreciate you staying with me.
36:13You'll be relieved to know that all the other children are making quite a speedy recovery.
36:20In fact, I think they were all enjoying lollipops.
36:24I believe that you might be the only child who didn't get one of these.
36:45Who's a good boy?
36:46Who's a good boy, Rufus?
36:48I guess I'll be dropping you and Mr. Shepherd off at the Mountie office.
36:54It's just a practical decision.
36:55I mean, a Mountie can always use a good dog, especially when he senses right from wrong.
37:01Oh, yeah.
37:02I can see how that's a purely professional decision.
37:06Whoa.
37:17Here we are.
37:20Thanks for your help today.
37:22Sam will be very grateful, I'm sure.
37:24My pleasure.
37:30Thanks for the ride.
37:36Come on, Rufus.
37:37Come on.
37:38Come on.
37:50Ruby, Miss Hainsworth.
37:52Miss Nora, you're back.
37:53Oh, I saw Eleanor hanging up at the wash.
37:58She told me the other children are at the infirmary.
38:00What happened?
38:01They're fined.
38:02I think they were just...
38:05What would you say, Ruby?
38:07Missing Nora, maybe?
38:09They'll be glad you're home.
38:11Well, I believe it is time for me to go home.
38:14What do you mean?
38:15I mean, I'm losing touch with what children really need.
38:19And I don't do well with illness, real or imagined.
38:25What about the Children's Bureau?
38:28Well, I can ask them to send a replacement if you'd like, but I don't think you need one.
38:32Dolores and Eleanor are such good helpers.
38:35You have an amazing community with Nurse Maggie and Dr. Samfellow.
38:40And you.
38:45Your children love you.
38:48Miss Nora, I drew this for you.
38:50It's our family.
38:51Oh, Ruby.
38:56It's beautiful.
39:12I'm just trying to catch up.
39:19About that contract.
39:24You signed it.
39:27Seems I've agreed to work for you for one year.
39:36Can I ask what changed your mind?
39:39I know how much you meant to your Uncle Ray.
39:41That's what he wanted.
39:45You know what else he would want?
39:51He'd want us to just shake on it.
39:54That he would.
40:04Miss Nora, look what we made.
40:07And I helped organize.
40:09The children have been very helpful.
40:11I see.
40:13Thank you for taking them.
40:15It must be difficult to have so many sick children to take care of all at once.
40:26The truth is, we weren't too sick.
40:29I was just pretending.
40:31You weren't sick at all.
40:33We're sorry.
40:34Okay.
40:37Where's Charlotte and Wally?
40:42They got a little tired with all the excitement.
40:45I see.
40:48Well, children, Mountie Fletcher has a surprise outside.
41:03Thank you both for your help.
41:05I'm a delight.
41:06Honestly, it was fun.
41:09How did it go in Franklin?
41:13You, my friend, are the official owner of a gold mine.
41:26You're welcome.
41:27I'm so happy for you.
41:32Thanks for today.
41:34It was fun.
41:36I love the kids.
41:37You're so great with them.
41:39You make such a good mother.
41:41Not that I'm assuming you want children with me.
41:44With anyone.
41:47I just mean...
41:48I do want children.
41:51Okay.
41:53Come on, sleepyheads.
41:54Time to go.
41:59Yep.
42:00He's my deputy.
42:01Mr. Rufus Shepard.
42:02You can call him Rufus.
42:05Where did Annie and Steve go?
42:07Mountie Fletcher gave them a penny to buy a biscuit from Joe.
42:10We're going to feed it to Rufus.
42:15Charlotte, Mountie Fletcher has a new dog, and he's really sweet.
42:19You want to pet him?
42:21Yes, please.
42:25Cheers.
42:29Can I have a French braid tomorrow?
42:32Of course.
42:33Can we play hide and seek at home?
42:35You sure can.
42:36And can Rufus Shepard visit us lost?
42:39He would like that very much.
42:42I'm glad you're home, Miss Nora.
42:45I'm glad too, Charlotte.
42:48I'm glad too.
42:55What's going on?
42:57Tell her what you told me.
42:58I counted heads up in the foothills.
43:00We're down about 24.
43:02Yearlings and some breeders.
43:0324.
43:05What kind of animal could do all that?
43:07Something more dangerous than a cougar or a grizzly.
43:09We're in for real trouble.
43:10What kind of animal?
43:24How bad are we?
43:27What kind of animal could do?
43:32Uh, why are we looking for a good dream?
43:35continue to look.
43:36There's a problem for that!
43:36All right.
43:36Run.未
