00:00:25It all began one day last April.
00:00:28I was living with my grandma in Mt. Bedford, New York, and she was determined to teach
00:00:34me to become a proper young lady, but that day in particular, I was more interested
00:00:39in getting away from my next door nuisance, Eddie Ryland.
00:00:43Samantha!
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!
00:01:14Come back, you running Ryland!
00:01:36And that was the day I met my new friend, Nellie O'Malley.
00:01:43Who are they?
00:01:45They're our new servants.
00:01:47The big one is my new maid.
00:01:48But she's too young to be a maid.
00:01:50Maybe her mother is the maid.
00:01:55It's grand, Dad.
00:01:56Who's that?
00:01:57Look at that water.
00:01:58Come along now, Bridget.
00:02:06I'm tired, Dad.
00:02:07I'm tired, Dad.
00:02:08I know.
00:02:08It won't be long.
00:02:09And I know you're hungry, Jenny, but you'll just have to wait.
00:02:15Oh, this is beautiful.
00:02:17Do you think you can hide here?
00:02:18No, I'm sorry.
00:02:20Don't throw right in here, Mr. O'Malley.
00:02:22There's only one room for all of you.
00:02:24This will be fine.
00:02:25Thank you, thank you.
00:02:26I'm really hungry, Nellie.
00:02:29Are we going to eat soon?
00:02:34Look, Nellie, next to the pump.
00:02:39Oh, Nellie.
00:02:43See what you did?
00:02:45I didn't do nothing.
00:02:46You threw a rock and broke the window.
00:02:48And I'm gonna 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 Rylan.
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!
00:03:17Edward, I'm waiting!
00:03:21Thank you, Miss.
00:03:22I'm Samantha.
00:03:25I live next door.
00:03:27I'm Nellie.
00:03:28And this is Jenny and Bridget.
00:03:31Pleased to meet you.
00:03:35Don'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.
00:03:52May I see you tomorrow?
00:03:54Like I said.
00:03:55I'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.
00:04:08Bye.
00:04:10These are lovely.
00:04:11They should do nicely in the park.
00:04:13They're beautiful.
00:04:15The Rylands have new servants,
00:04:16a father and three girls,
00:04:18and one of them is my age.
00:04:21Samantha, 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.
00:04:38Please.
00:04:48Hello, Samantha.
00:04:50Hello, Grand Mary.
00:04:51I trust you have a good explanation for that tear in your stocking.
00:04:56I fell.
00:04:57I'm sorry.
00:04:58You weren't running, were you?
00:05:00Not when I fell, no.
00:05:02Haste makes waste, Samantha.
00:05:05Yes, Grand Mary.

00:11:28Thursday
00:11:29Thanksgiving
00:11:33A roaming cat with a lily fair sat on a rose-blossom mat with a meadow-dewish bat.
00:11:40Stop your fidgeting, Jenny.
00:11:43Bridget!
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?
00:12:02It hasn't said a word since Ma died.
00:12:05Did she talk before that?
00:12:06Some.
00:12:08She talks in her sleep.
00:12:16That looks like fun!
00:12:19It does.
00:12:20Can I try it?
00:12:22Here.
00:12:23I'll beat the rug while you read.
00:12:29Cat, sat, map.
00:12:33Good!
00:12:34Go on!
00:12:35Fat, rat, hat.
00:12:41Fat, fat, rat!
00:12:54You girls about through killing the rug?
00:12:58I'm sorry, Mr. O'Malley.
00:13:00It was my fault.
00:13:01There's no fault to it.
00:13:02You almost done here?
00:13:03All done, Dad.
00:13:04Good, then.
00:13:05Get a move on inside.
00:13:06Mrs. Riley was calling for you.
00:13:07Yes, Dad.
00:13:11Tomorrow, Samantha?
00:13:12Tomorrow.
00:13:13I wanted to thank you, Samantha, for your kindness toward Nellie and the girls.
00:13:18Nothing's needed, sir.
00:13:19Nellie and the girls are my friends.
00:13:24It's Uncle Guard!
00:13:25That's my Uncle Guard!
00:13:27He's come back from Europe!
00:13:28Goodbye, 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.
00:14:01Uncle Guard!
00:14:03Uncle Guard!
00:14:04Ah, my angel!
00:14:07Oh, I missed you so much!
00:14:09Oh, I missed you so much.
00:14:12Did you get my present?
00:14:13Yes, I love it!
00:14:14It's wonderful!
00:14:16Well, 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?
00:14:27First, I want you to say hello to someone.
00:14:38How are we coming along then, my dear?
00:14:39Fine, thank you.
00:14:48Samantha?
00:14:48You 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?
00:15:30Oh, here we are.
00:15:33Mother?
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.
00:15:50Gardner 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.
00:16:16Gardner?
00:16:18You really should warn me when you're bringing home guests.
00:16:23You look well, Mother.
00:16:25Ah, this is for you.
00:16:28Oh, my.
00:16:31Oh.
00:16:34Oh.
00:16:37Oh.
00:16:40It's lovely.
00:16:42Has the Admiral been to see you lately?
00:16:45Gardner.
00:16:53Let's see.
00:16:55We were going to do something now.
00:16:59What?
00:17:00I 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.
00:17:14Ah!
00:17:16Ah!
00:17:18Ah!
00:17:21Ah!
00:17:22Ah!
00:17:25Did you see the Mona Lisa?
00:17:27Yes, 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 is this new style of art called Impressionism.
00:17:35Yes.
00:17:35By a man named Monet.
00:17:36You've been away a very long time.
00:17:39How has your firm managed without you?
00:17:42I don't think they even noticed I was gone, Mother.
00:17:44Nonsense, Gard.
00:17:45Of course they did.
00:17:46Cornelia'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.
00:17:56Women of my generation found plenty of ways to influence the course of events without having
00:18:03to stand on a soapbox.
00:18:05Yes, although if women are expected to obey the laws our leaders make, shouldn't we have
00:18:10a say in selecting those leaders?
00:18:12I believe Samantha should have as much say in her government as that little boy next door.
00:18:26Well, 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, but it is wonderful news.
00:18:43Against her better judgment, this beautiful woman has accepted my proposal of marriage.
00:18:51Oh, Gardner, you sound so old fashioned.
00:18:55We've been talking about this for almost a year.
00:18:57And while I was in Paris, I was getting her parents' blessing.
00:19:00My.
00:19:01Well then, I'm very happy for both of you.
00:19:11I'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
00:19:21right here, Mother.
00:19:22We could hold it in the conservatory.
00:19:24It's so beautiful here.
00:19:24We were thinking the end of July.
00:19:26July?
00:19:26This year?
00:19:27Yes, of course this year.
00:19:29Why so sudden?
00:19:30I don't want to wait.
00:19:32I found the woman of my dreams.
00:19:36I want you to be my bridesmaid, Samantha.
00:19:39Would you?
00:19:41She's very young.
00:19:43Well, my sister will be the matron of honor, her daughter my flower girl, but I don't have
00:19:47a bridesmaid.
00:19:48What do you say?
00:19:50Say yes.
00:19:57Yes.
00:20:04Samantha?
00:20:15Samantha?
00:20:17Hello.
00:20:21Samantha?
00:20:24Hello.
00:20:28i know you're upset with me i don't want things to change anymore uncle guard
00:20:36you've had more change in your life than anyone ought to have but you'll see cornelia is going
00:20:41to be a wonderful friend and in fact if your mother was still alive i'm sure they'd be the
00:20:46best of friends they would oh yes they're quite similar in many ways your mother was so full of
00:20:52life and questions and causes and right now she's smiling down on us making fun of your bushy eyebrows
00:20:59how did you know about that she tortured you she told me so and i miss her every time i
00:21:06think about
00:21:06it you're so like your mother you have her spirit you have her will and her curiosity
00:21:21oh what's this oh
00:21:28st louis the exposition
00:21:33oh no i promised to take you didn't i
00:21:39i'm sorry how can i make it up to you it's all her fault no samantha cornelia is a wonderful
00:21:47person she's strong and caring and she loves children you'll have your own family forget all
00:21:55about me you are my family you'll always be my little girl
00:22:31and i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry i missed her but i'm sorry i missed her
00:22:32so i had a picture of you in my lap…
00:22:41That was lovely, Samantha.
00:22:44Thank you, Grand Mary.
00:22:48Grand Mary?
00:22:49Yes?
00:22:51Do you like Cornelia?
00:22:54Do I?
00:22:57Certainly I do, Samantha.
00:22:59She's going to be Gardner's wife.
00:23:02And your aunt, our family.
00:23:05Much as we would like things to remain as they are, Samantha, they don't.
00:23:11And so we must learn to accept change with grace.
00:23:15Do you understand?
00:23:17Yes, Grand Mary.
00:23:22She gave a dose of it to Peter, one tablespoon to be taken at bedtime.
00:23:27But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail had 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 reading over Dad's shoulders ever 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 and tell me which one you like better.
00:23:57Lemon or almond vanilla.
00:24:04I 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.
00:24:57The gown had tiny pearls all along the hem and crystal stitching in between each pearl.
00:25:05Oh, and there was a large satin bow just above the bustle.
00:25:10Bustle?
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, Gregory, look, it's lavender.
00:25:35Your favorite color.
00:25:37It's the prettiest color I've ever seen.
00:25:40Samantha 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, Anne Francis 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.
00:26:02Oh.
00:26:04Oh.
00:26:05Oh.
00:26:07Oh.
00:26:08Oh.
00:26:10Oh.
00:26:11Oh.
00:26:12Oh.
00:26:13Oh.
00:26:14Oh.
00:26:15Oh.
00:26:17Oh.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:19Oh.
00:26:22Nellie.
00:26:23Nellie.
00:26:27What on earth?
00:26:29I tried to sleep, but 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 will burn me.
00:26:45Look at you.
00:26:46You'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.
00:27:03I 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, no one came here anymore.
00:27:22Sometimes when I come here, I feel like they're still here.
00:27:32What do you do in here?
00:27:36Read mostly.
00:27:38Make wishes.
00:27:39What do you wish for?
00:27:43Depends on my mood.
00:27:46Sometimes I wish for Eddie Ryland to run into a tree.
00:27:52And other times, I wish for my parents to be here.
00:27:58Dad says, no sense thinking about what you don't have.
00:28:01Better to think about what you do.
00:28:03But I still wish I could see my mom.
00:28:07If I go to New York, I miss you so much.
00:28:11You can write me every day.
00:28:13And you can write back.
00:28:16What's her name?
00:28:20Lydia.
00:28:21Just like my mother.
00:28:23I've never seen anything so beautiful.
00:28:27If I go away, will you keep her for me?
00:28:32Do you mean it?
00:28:33Yes.
00:28:34I wouldn't trust her with anybody but my best friend.
00:28:42You know anything about stars?
00:28:44A little.
00:28:46First star you see, that's the wishing one.
00:28:51Starlight, star bright.
00:28:54First star I see tonight.
00:28:57Wish I may.
00:28:58Wish I might.
00:29:00Have the wish I wish tonight.
00:29:08I found you!
00:29:09I found you!
00:29:12Oh, 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?
00:29:23I 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,
00:29:40nor do they sleep outside with the neighbor's children.
00:29:48I'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.
00:30:48It's all right, Nellie.
00:30:53Pictures of Lydia.
00:31:01Lydia'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, Grandma.
00:31:18I have some wonderful news.
00:31:21Your uncle guard has invited you to spend a few months in New York City with him and Cornelia this
00:31:27fall.
00:31:29And with you in the city, I 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.
00:31:42When all we have left of someone is our memories of them, then we must keep those memories close.
00:31:51I'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.
00:32:13She took all of Mabel's favorite things and she placed them in the boathouse.
00:32:21She did?
00:32:22Just like you.
00:32:36Oh, Samantha.
00:32:42Oh, 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.
00:33:12Thank you so much.
00:33:12We'll do they yours if you like 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.
00:33:25Oh, my goodness.
00:33:30Oh, my goodness.
00:33:32Oh, my goodness.
00:33:34Hold on.
00:33:34Your family's ruined.
00:33:38I'm sorry, Grand Mary.
00:33:40I didn't mean to.
00:33:43It's all right, Agatha.
00:33:44Don't be upset.
00:34:12You look lovely.
00:34:16Would 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?
00:34:46Would you help me?
00:35:14She's so beautiful.
00:35:15Yes.
00:35:19Wilt thou, gardener, have this woman to thy lawful wedded wife to live together after God's ordinance in the holiest
00:35:27state of matrimony?
00:35:28Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others, keep
00:35:38thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?
00:35:42I will.
00:35:44Wilt thou, Cornelia, have this man to thy wedded husband to live together after God's ordinance in the holy state
00:35:53of matrimony?
00:35:54Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love, honor, and keep him in sickness and in health, and forsaking all
00:36:03others, keep thee only unto him, so long as ye both shall live?
00:36:08I will.
00:36:10I will.
00:36:11I now pronounce you man and wife.
00:36:13I will.
00:36:16I will.
00:36:16I will.
00:36:18I will.
00:36:20I will.
00:36:32I will.
00:36:36I will.
00:36:44I will.
00:36:47I will.
00:36:54I will.
00:36:56I will.
00:36:58Thank you, Mr. Forbes.
00:37:00Glad you did.
00:37:01Good to see you.
00:37:08What a pleasant occasion.
00:37:10And he's a fine catch.
00:37:12But then again, we always knew she'd marry well.
00:37:15Not so well.
00:37:17What do you mean?
00:37:18His niece is coming to stay with her until Christmas.
00:37:21Poor Cornelia.
00:37:24Already he made family less than a month after her wedding.
00:37:36Goodbye, thank you.
00:37:40Goodbye.
00:37:43Goodbye, Mother.
00:37:48We'll be back in a month, and then we'll have many wonderful adventures.
00:37:52How does that sound?
00:37:54Are you ready?
00:38:04Letting Cornelia have your mother's veil was very generous, Samantha.
00:38:10I did it for you.
00:38:13I know.
00:38:18Have a wonderful time!
00:38:22Goodbye!
00:38:23Goodbye!
00:38:24Goodbye, Uncle Carl!

00:38:39Eddie Rowland's money jar!
00:38:40I watched him when he bullied the milkman this morning.
00:38:43And then I followed him and found his secret hiding place.
00:38:47The well!
00:38:49Whatever should we do with it?
00:38:51I know the perfect place for it.
00:38:55Good morning.

00:49:24and what?
00:49:26I know
00:49:38It 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.
00:50:07I 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 Gar.
00:50:28Oh, Gar.
00:50:30Hello, 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.
00:50:43How was Nellie?
00:50:47Well, they didn't let me see her.
00:50:49What do you mean?
00:50:50The orphans are not allowed to have visitors who are not related,
00:50:53unless 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. Vandergeld donate a great deal to New York orphanages.
00:51:09One of them could well be Cold Rock.
00:51:12Excuse me.
00:51:20Hello?
00:51:21Yes, could you connect me, please, to the Vandergeld residence on Fifth Avenue?
00:51:51I'm Mrs. Edwards.
00:51:52I telephoned earlier about seeing Mrs. Fauci.
00:52:02She'll be right with you.
00:52:12You must be Mrs. Edwards.
00:52:14We've been expecting you.
00:52:16Pleased to meet you.
00:52:17Mrs. Vandergeld sent word of your arrival.
00:52:20Oh, she spoke very highly of you.
00:52:23And of you, Mrs. Fauci.
00:52:25Mrs. Vandergeld is our most generous benefactor.
00:52:28Would this be a convenient time for a tour?
00:52:33Uh, yes.
00:52:34Yes, of course.
00:52:36Uh, Lillian.
00:52:37Oh, thank you.
00:52:53Nancy, you wait.
00:52:55You're walking too...
00:52:55No speaking!
00:52:58Ma'am?
00:53:01I'm sure you must understand the importance of rules for girls like this.
00:53:05Obedience, order, and discipline.
00:53:08These are the things that will enable them to find homes.
00:53:13Here's the dormitory for the younger girls.
00:53:19Are there always this many?
00:53:23There 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.
00:53:32Bye!
00:53:33Help!
00:53:35Oh, my...
00:53:47Here we have the dormitory for the older girls.
00:53:50Nine to sixteen.
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 long term?
00:54:09Oh, the number of children ranges from...
00:54:12Mary!
00:54:14Samantha!
00:54:17What are you doing here?
00:54:19Are you all right?
00:54:20You're so pale.
00:54:22Look at your hands.
00:54:24Here, take my glove.
00:54:26Did you see Bridget and Jenny downstairs?
00:54:28Are they all right?
00:54:29You 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.
00:54:35You cannot stay here.
00:54:38Are you ever allowed outside?
00:54:40I only want to take out the ashes around the back.
00:54:43Every day at four o'clock.
00:54:44We must let the girls rest now.
00:54:47Um, Samantha, are we ready?
00:54:50I'll come to the alley.
00:54:51Four o'clock.
00:54:52Ready!
00:55:14What's the basket for?
00:55:16It's for coats.
00:55:17Coats?
00:55:18Go in the coat closet.
00:55:19These are for old coats that you don't want anymore.
00:55:22Why do you want her old coats?
00:55:24It'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.
00:55:34Maybe you do.
00:55:37I have some old coats at home.
00:55:39They don't fit anymore.
00:55:41And gloves, too.
00:55:42I'll bring them in tomorrow.
00:55:45I like your pilgrims.
00:55:58Yes, Mrs. Evans.
00:55:59Mrs. Fauci is expecting you.
00:56:01I have a hamper here full of pumpkin pies and Thanksgiving treats for the children.
00:56:05May we bring them into your kitchen?
00:56:07I'll take that for you.
00:56:08Follow me.
00:56:10I'll just wait outside.
00:56:12All right.
00:56:25Nellie!
00:56:27Nellie!
00:56:31You found me!
00:56:33Here.
00:56:34I brought you some walls.
00:56:36But she's inside.
00:56:37Thank you, Samantha.
00:56:39Mrs. Fauci says she'll place me out if I don't behave.
00:56:44What's that?
00:56:44Sending me away on the orphan train to get adopted by a family far away.
00:56:50Mrs. Fauci says girls with my training go really fast in the farm country.
00:56:55And Jenny and Bridget?
00:56:56No.
00:56:57They're too young.
00:56:58She sends me.
00:57:00I'll never get to see them again.
00:57:02Oh, you cannot go.
00:57:04The three of you have to stay together.
00:57:07I have to think about what to do.
00:57:09I'm not gonna let this happen to you, Nellie.
00:57:12I'm not.
00:57:14Did you hear, Gertrude, that our Samantha has been chosen out of all the girls in her school to speak
00:57:19at the Christmas program?
00:57:21Isn't that wonderful?
00:57:23It's not just me.
00:57:24There are twelve of us.
00:57:25That is quite an accomplishment to be one of the twelve, Samantha.
00:57:30It is a shame that Mother won't hear it.
00:57:32Then Grand Mary will have the pleasure of hearing only Samantha when she returns.
00:57:39Oh, now will you look at that!
00:57:41Oh, it looks splendid, doesn't it?
00:57:43Beautiful!
00:57:44On first Thanksgiving.
00:57:47I 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, for 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?
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?
00:58:25I'm scared.
00:58:27It'll be alright.
00:58:29Go get Bridget and Jenny, and I'll meet you in front of the coat closet.
00:58:33I'll meet you there in five minutes.
00:58:37Go, now!
00:58:45You are going back now!
00:58:47You are going back now!
00:58:50Jenny, Jenny, look!
00:58:53Come on, girls.
00:58:55You need to go now.
00:59:00What's it for?
00:59:01I came here to bring donations for the girls.
00:59:05Yes?
00:59:05I usually come here with my aunt, who 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!
00:59:23Where are you?
00:59:26Samantha!
00:59:27I'll deposit the donation money Monday, Mrs. Frouchy.
00:59:30You'd best give it to me.
00:59:31I'll hold on to it.
00:59:34For safe keeping.
00:59:37Yes, ma'am.
00:59:39These are long.
00:59:41Get in!
00:59:41Bridget, under the desk!
01:00:27Who's there?
01:00:31Run!
01:00:32What?
01:00:32What?
01:00:34Richie, come on!
01:00:36Come on!
01:00:36There you go!
01:00:37Hurry!
01:00:38Help!
01:00:39Stop him!
01:00:40Stop him!
01:00:41Stop him!
01:00:42Stop!
01:00:44Help!
01:00:45Hurry!
01:00:46Don't stop!
01:00:48Stop!
01:00:52Come on, you can do it.
01:00:55What?
01:00:57Hurry!
01:00:58Let's go!
01:00:59Please!
01:01:01Please!
01:01:02Please help!
01:01:05Someone took my babies.
01:01:07Found a donation money.
01:01:09All of it.
01:01:09Wait, wait!
01:01:10He's not running now!
01:01:11He's gone!
01:01:12Stop!
01:01:18Bridget, hurry!
01:01:19Come on, get up!
01:01:23Come on, Jenny!
01:01:24Run!
01:01:30Go!
01:01:31Go!
01:01:32Go!
01:01:34Go!
01:01:35Come on, come on!
01:01:36Go!
01:01:37Jenny, go!
01:01:40Dinner!
01:01:41Shh!
01:01:42Shh!
01:01:43Shh!
01:01:43Bridget, be quiet.
01:01:45If we get caught, we'll get in trouble.
01:01:47And so will Samantha's family.
01:01:49Why can't we live here?
01:01:50We're wards of the states.
01:01:52That's what Mrs. Frouchy calls us.
01:01:53We belong to them.
01:01:54To the states?
01:01:55Yes!
01:01:55And if anyone finds us here, they'll be made to turn us in.
01:01:59So you must be quiet now.
01:02:00Do you understand?
01:02:03It's alright for now.
01:02:05Eat up.
01:02:06There's turkey and dressing and cranberries.
01:02:09Slower, Jenny.
01:02:11I put fresh pajamas on the bed.
01:02:14How'd you get all this up here?
01:02:16I told Gertrude it was for a family in need.
01:02:19And it is.
01:02:21So nice and warm.
01:02:23Oh no, they'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.
01:02:41Samantha's been here all afternoon.
01:02:43Are you certain?
01:02:45Samantha?
01:02:47Yes?
01:02:52Any further questions?
01:02:54My matron informed me that she was at the orphanage a short while ago.
01:02:59A few of my girls have since gone missing, along with $200.
01:03:04What 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?
01:03:34I'm not sure.
01:03:36She said she'd go to the police.
01:03:40And that we took money.
01:03:42That's a terrible lie.
01:03:45No, Samantha.
01:03:46I don't want you to get in any trouble on my account.
01:03:49I'm going to find a job.
01:03:51As soon as I can.
01:03:52So we can get a room of our own.
01:03:55Someone will hire me.
01:03:59I miss my dad.
01:04:02I miss my dad.
01:04:02Don't worry, Nellie.
01:04:04I'm not going to let anything happen to any of you.
01:04:08I promise.
01:04:12Gertrude had a visitor today.
01:04:14Mrs. Frouchy.
01:04:16What did you want?
01:04:17Hard to say, madam.
01:04:19But it seemed to me she was accusing our Samantha of stealing.
01:04:24Guard, we must do something to stop this woman.
01:04:44All right.
01:05:08We must do something to stop this woman,
01:05:09It's almost Christmas, and I can't wait to see you.
01:05:13Cornelia and I are making our own ornaments for the Christmas tree
01:05:16and making cookies and fruitcakes and even plum pudding,
01:05:20though I'm not sure we did it right.
01:05:30Since Nellie is in New York City now, all that's missing is you.
01:05:34Love, Samantha.
01:05:50Love, Samantha.
01:06:22What are you doing down here?
01:06:25Something wrong?
01:06:27What's the matter?
01:06:29What is it?
01:06:31All right. I'll come with you.
01:06:47Richard, are you all right?
01:06:50You're so hot.
01:06:52Running up.
01:06:57Do you know where Nellie went?
01:07:00Was she looking to find a job?
01:07:09What?
01:07:17Is this where she went?
01:07:25Is this where she went?
01:07:34What?
01:07:34What?
01:07:41How it is?
01:07:43Hello.
01:07:44There you go.
01:07:48Here we go.
01:07:49There you go.
01:08:11Put your name on that list.
01:08:13If you can't write, make an X.
01:08:15Get in line behind them.
01:08:17Help!
01:08:18Help!
01:08:19Fingers crossed!
01:08:20Hold 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 pain.
01:08:26No, sir!
01:08:27Quiet!
01:08:29Oh, look, that needle broke.
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.
01:08:52Let's go.
01:08:53Come on.
01:08:55Hurry up.
01:08:57Sir?
01:08:59Sir, I'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!
01:09:15Come on.
01:09:16No!
01:09:17Come 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, girlie.
01:09:26You leave now, you don't come back.
01:09:30There'll be none of that here.
01:09:33All right, we got an opening now.
01:09:36Next!
01:09:37Why 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.
01:09:46Are all factories like that?
01:09:48All the ones I've seen.
01:09:50I'm worried, Samantha. I don't want to lose Bridget, too.
01:09:53Come on, let's run.
01:10:03She's burning up, Samantha.
01:10:05Samantha, I've never seen her this bad.
01:10:10It's my fault for leaving.
01:10:15It's so cold in here.
01:10:27Hello, Angel. Big day's coming, isn't it?
01:10:30How's the speech? You 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.
01:10:46I did something wrong, and I need help.
01:10:51Nellie's sister, Bridget, is sick.
01:10:59Upstairs.
01:11:00Upstairs?
01:11:01Upstairs?
01:11:06Upstairs?
01:11:08She's quite dehydrated.
01:11:10Under my orders, you're not to move her.
01:11:12It's for a few weeks, until she gets her strength back.
01:11:15Of course, doctor.
01:11:20Any 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.
01:11:31Gertrude'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 to 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.
01:11:54Good night.
01:11:55And 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.
01:12:19You can't break the law, Samantha.
01:12:22Even when a law seems unfair.
01:12:24But 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?
01:12:33Who says we don't want you here?
01:12:37Aunt 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.
01:12:47Don'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.
01:12:56Samantha, I want you here.
01:12:59Yes, Aunt Cornelia.
01:13:07No one touched Mrs. Fauci's money.
01:13:11We know that.
01:13:13Please don't make Nellie go back.
01:13:16They can't go back there.
01:13:18I have no alternative, Samantha.
01:13:21I must inform the authorities they're here.
01:13:24No!
01:13:35Would you like some tea?
01:13:36No, thank you.
01:13:38I'll be brief before you speak.
01:13:41I'd like to say that we are not going to press charges against the Parkington girl.
01:13:46As long as she returns the money she took.
01:13:48She claims she didn't take it.
01:13:50Oh, no.
01:13:54You know, with Christmas coming,
01:13:56we may have to rely once more on generous benefactors such as yourself.
01:14:01We don't want to disappoint the children.
01:14:03No, we don't.
01:14:04Which is why, Mrs. Fauci, we're replacing you.
01:14:08What?
01:14:10Your what?
01:14:12The board of directors is unhappy with the way you've been running Cold Rock.
01:14:15It was never our intention to fund a prison,
01:14:17and there have been indications for some while that funds have been misappropriated.
01:14:27You 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 at the same time,
01:14:50and that's why factories are the golden future of America.
01:14:59And the final speaker will be Samantha Parkington.
01:15:15Americans are very proud of being modern.
01:15:18We are proud of our progress,
01:15:20and we are proud of the machines in our factories
01:15:23and the products that they make.
01:15:26But Americans are proud of being truthful, too.
01:15:31Last week, I went to a factory,
01:15:33and what I saw was nothing like what I had been told.
01:15:38There were children, younger than I am,
01:15:41working from early morning until after dark.
01:15:45They were dirty, they were cold, and they couldn't leave.
01:15:51They don't have time to go to school,
01:15:54and they are too tired to play.
01:15:56Children are hurt in these places.
01:15:59I know.
01:16:00I saw one.
01:16:03If our factories can hurt children,
01:16:06then we have not made good progress in America.
01:16:10These words are not the words I had written,
01:16:13but are the words that I need to say.
01:16:17Americans are good and kind,
01:16:20and good and kind people take 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 of our factories
01:16:31and of our progress.
01:16:47She was marvelous.
01:16:50I'm 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 they were coming?
01:17:05You wanted it to be a surprise.
01:17:07You were magnificent.
01:17:09How did you know about factories?
01:17:12Because of Nellie.
01:17:13I went to go get her at her work, and...
01:17:16Oh, forgive me.
01:17:17You remember Admiral Venus?
01:17:19Very nice to see you again, Admiral.
01:17:21That was a very impressive speech, Samantha.
01:17:23No wonder your grandmother talks about you so much.
01:17:27Excuse me.
01:17:29Samantha, that speech was not the speech that you entered in the contest.
01:17:33I changed it when I saw the truth.
01:17:36I'm afraid you've been disqualified from the competition.
01:17:39Disqualified?
01:17:40For telling the truth?
01:17:41She won me over, and I'm a much harsher judge, I can assure you.
01:17:46I believe it takes two to speak the truth.
01:17:50One to speak it, and the other to hear.
01:17:54I beg your pardon.
01:17:58I'd like you to give that speech to 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.
01:18:08Which 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 for one person to keep.
01:18:26And how many more maids do we need?
01:18:28Three.
01:18:29Which is really four, counting Gertrude.
01:18:31Besides, if 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.
01:18:44Samantha, Cornelia and I were hoping that you'd like to come stay here with us.
01:18:48Permanently.
01:18:52You mean leave Mount Bedford?
01:18:55For good?
01:18:56But 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 has finally decided...
01:19:05No.
01:19:05Yes, she's accepted the Admiral's proposal.
01:19:08Which is why we hope you consider staying with us.
01:19:11What do you say, Samantha?
01:19:13Will you adopt us?
01:19:18Will I?
01:19:22Yes!
01:19:33I'll take this, man.
01:19:36Here you are.
01:19:42Oh, it's so beautiful!
01:19:45So great, Mary!
01:19:48To us, 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 I've ever seen.
01:19:57You're probably worn out.
01:19:59You should rest.
01:20:01Really.
01:20:02Say your strength.
01:20:04Say your strength.
01:20:08Can we open present stuff?
01:20:10Not now.
01:20:11No, not until tomorrow.
01:20:12Tomorrow.
01:20:13But you can start working on your notes to Santa.
01:20:16And there's hot chocolate in the kitchen.
01:20:18Ooh.
01:20:21Gertrude?
01:20:26Uncle Gertrude, does Santa know that Nellie and her sisters are here?
01:20:30Believe me, Samantha.
01:20:32Santa knows everything.
01:20:44Oh, just a moment.
01:20:45Let me get the notes for Santa.
01:20:47The notes?
01:20:48Nellie and Jenny.
01:20:49Yes?
01:20:50Do you want to do Bridget's too, so?
01:20:53Okay.
01:20:55Girls.
01:20:56Milk of Santa.
01:20:58I imagine you'll be very thirsty.
01:21:00Yes.
01:21:06What is all this?
01:21:08It's for the orphanage.
01:21:09Quite a bounty.
01:21:10Oh, this is nothing.
01:21:11Cornelia'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.
01:21:21Yes.
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.
01:21:45Make your wish, Nellie.
01:21:46Close your eyes tight.
01:21:48Wish like you've never wished before.
01:21:51I'm wishing, Samantha.
01:21:54I'm wishing.
01:22:01Merry Christmas, Bridget.
01:22:03Merry Christmas.
01:22:04Merry Christmas.
01:22:06Oh, Bridget.
01:22:06How's our patient?
01:22:08Hungry.
01:22:10Well, let's go have Christmas.
01:22:12Oh, Christmas.
01:22:17Christmas is so beautiful.
01:22:22Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, before you start screaming
01:22:24at all the silly little things Santa's left you, there's something we need to tell you.
01:22:29Uncle Gard?
01:22:32Samantha asked if we would let you three girls come and be maids.
01:22:36Oh, yes, sir.
01:22:37We'll work very hard morning tonight, sir.
01:22:40But we don't need any more maids.
01:22:42However, Samantha's going to 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.
01:22:55But not just any three sisters.
01:22:57She needs you.
01:22:59All of you.
01:23:00What do you say?
01:23:01Oh, yes.
01:23:03Sisters, Samantha.
01:23:04Sisters.
01:23:06Don 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.
01:23:14Would you like that, Bridget?
01:23:16Oh, yes.
01:23:18Jenny?
01:23:18Jenny?
01:23:19Jenny says yes.
01:23:20Jenny says yes, sir.
01:23:23Oh, she's talking.
01:23:24Oh, she's talking.
01:23:25That's my girl.
01:23:27Ha, ha.
01:23:29Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:23:30Merry Christmas.
01:23:34Merry Christmas.
01:23:35Merry Christmas.
01:23:37Oh, come on.
01:23:38Merry Christmas.
01:23:41Merry Christmas, Avril.
01:23:46Oh, it's for you.
01:23:53Oh, you're welcome.
01:23:58There you go.
01:23:59And Merry Christmas.
01:24:04Wait to see all their happy faces.
01:24:32I can't sleep.
01:24:35Happy Christmas.
01:24:37Snowy.
01:24:38Snowy.
01:24:39Oh, yeah.
01:24:44For a snow, Samantha, do you think we're dreaming?
01:24:48If we are.
01:24:50I hope we never wake up.
01:24:52See you in the world.
01:24:55To that, to that point it's time for us.
01:24:56I can't sleep.
01:24:58I can't sleep.
01:24:58Yeah, I can't sleep.
01:25:02I can't sleep.
01:25:05I can't sleep.
01:25:14I can't sleep.
01:25:16I can't sleep.
