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.
00:05:10Did 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 is lying.
00:05:22Samantha, please, begin.
00:05:32Afternoon bailed his efforts.
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.
00:05:43He didn't miss the boat, did he?
00:05:44Samantha, please.
00:05:46Just finish your practice.
00:06:13Hello, Miss.
00:06:15Please don't call me Miss.
00:06:17Get in trouble if I don't, miss.
00:06:21Where did you come from?
00:06:23Before Mount Bedford, I mean.
00:06:25New York City.
00:06:26Oh, my Uncle Garth 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 winner.
00:06:49If 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, can't you?
00:07:11You have to sit down sometime, and I could sit with you.
00:07:14It isn't hard to learn.
00:07:23Thank you, Jessie.
00:07:24Just 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.
00:07:40That would be all.
00:07:44Samantha?
00:07:46Yes?
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?
00:08:02Yes, Grand Mary.
00:08:04Good.
00:08:07Are 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.
00:08:20Oh, it's from Uncle Gard.
00:08:22How can I get here before he did?
00:08:24It's not due for three weeks.
00:08:27Oh.
00:08:28What is it?
00:08:30It's a stereopticon.
00:08:32Oh.
00:08:33He says, put in the first slide, and I will see where he is right now.
00:08:37Slide.
00:08:44Oh, my.
00:08:46It's Paris.
00:08:47The Eiffel Tower.
00:08:48As if we were really there.
00:08:51Uncle Gard always gives me the best presents.
00:08:54He'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 Gard says.
00:09:09And what's fairy floss?
00:09:11Uncle Gard says it's made out of pink sugar and comes on a stick.
00:09:15Uncle Gard is the best person I know.
00:09:18Better in your mind, Dad?
00:09:34Did I say something?
00:09:36Maybe we should start your reading lesson.
00:09:39I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, miss.
00:09:49My parents are gone, like your mother, only in an accident on the river.
00:09:56Both of them?
00:09:59That's awful.
00:10:01I don't know what I'd do without my dad.
00:10:04You want to see them?
00:10:14She's beautiful, and he's so handsome.
00:10:23She used to sing to me.
00:10:27Sometimes I try to hear her voice, but it just slips away.
00:10:35I know.
00:10:38I wish I could ask Grand Mary, but 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.
00:10:58Will you do now, Nellie O'Malley?
00:11:00Friends forever.
00:11:01Forever.
00:11:03Come on.
00:11:04Come on.
00:11:07Okay.
00:11:08Long ears.
00:11:12Up.
00:11:13Like the arm.
00:11:17Side.
00:11:18D.
00:11:19Sounds like this.
00:11:20Da.
00:11:21That.
00:11:22This.
00:11:23And the nose.
00:11:25These.
00:11:27Stare.
00:11:27Thorn.
00:11:28Thursday.
00:11:30Thanksgiving.
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.
00:12:08And she 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.
00:12:30Sat.
00:12:32M-mat.
00:12:33Good.
00:12:34Go on.
00:12:35Fat.
00:12:36Rat.
00:12:38Hat.
00:12:40Hat.
00:12:42Fat.
00:12:43Fat.
00:12:44Rat.
00:12:54You girls about through killing the rug.
00:12:57I'm sorry, Mr. O'Malley.
00:12:59It 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.
00:13:10Tomorrow, Samantha?
00:13:12Tomorrow.
00:13:13I wanted to thank you, Samantha, for your kindness toward Nellie and the girls.
00:13:17No thanks needed, sir.
00:13:20Nellie 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.
00:13:32Bridget.
00:13:32My Uncle Guard is here.
00:13:35Goodbye.
00:13:36Goodbye.
00:13:54Well, here we are.
00:14:01Uncle Gord! Uncle Gord!
00:14:04My 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. It'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?
00:14:40Fine, thank you.
00:14:48Samantha, 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 Gord 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.
00:15:20Shall we?
00:15:30Oh.
00:15:31Here we are.
00:15:34Mother?
00:15:35Gardner!
00:15:40You remember Miss Pitt?
00:15:42What a pleasant surprise.
00:15:45How are you, Miss Pitt?
00:15:47Great.
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.
00:16:18Gardner, you really should warn me when you're bringing home guests.
00:16:23You look well, Mother.
00:16:26This is for you.
00:16:28Oh, my.
00:16:40It's lovely.
00:16:43Has the animal been to see you lately?
00:16:45Gardner.
00:16:53Let's see.
00:16:54We were going to do something now.
00:16:59What?
00:17:00I don't remember.
00:17:04Excuse us, Mother.
00:17:06Where are you going?
00:17:07Gardner.
00:17:12All right, I'm going to let it out now.
00:17:13Here we are.
00:17:21Did 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.
00:17:37You'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 is 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 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.
00:18:17Hmm.
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.
00:18:44Against 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.
00:19:00My.
00:19:01Well then, I'm very happy for both of you.
00:19:10I'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.
00:19:20Right here, Mother.
00:19:22We could hold it in the conservatory.
00:19:24It's so beautiful here.
00:19:24Maybe we're 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.
00:19:37I 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.
00:19:56Yes.
00:20:05Samantha!
00:20:15Samantha!
00:20:17Hello.
00:20:20Hello.
00:20:28I know you're upset with me.
00:20:29I 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.
00:20:42And 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.
00:20:48They'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.
00:20:57Making fun of your bushy eyebrows.
00:20:59How did you know about that?
00:21:00She tortured you.
00:21:02She 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.
00:21:14You have her will and her curiosity.
00:21:22Oh, what's this?
00:21:25Oh.
00:21:29St. Louis.
00:21:30The exposition.
00:21:34Oh, no.
00:21:36I promised to take you, didn't I?
00:21:39I'm sorry.
00:21:41How can I make it up to you?
00:21:43It's all her fault.
00:21:44No, Samantha.
00:21:45Cornelia is a wonderful person.
00:21:48She'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.
00:22:42You'll always be my little girl.
00:22:44You'll be my little girl.
00:22:49grandmary yes do you like cornelia do i

00:37:01Good to see you.
00:37:03Thank you so much.
00:37:04Yes, of course.
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.
00:37:14Not so well.
00:37:17And what do you need?
00:37:18His niece is coming to stay with her until Christmas.
00:37:21Poor Cornelia.
00:37:23Already made family less than a month after her wedding.
00:37:32Goodbye.
00:37:35Goodbye.
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?
00:37:55Are you ready?
00:38:05Letting Cornelia have your mother's veil was very generous, Samantha.
00:38:09I did it for you.
00:38:13I know.
00:38:18Have a wonderful time.
00:38:22Goodbye.
00:38:24Goodbye.
00:38:24Goodbye, Uncle Carl.
00:38:30Samantha, over here.
00:38:35Look what I found.
00:38:37No.
00:38:38Yes.
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.
00:38:56Good morning.
00:38:57Thanks, abbiamo.
00:38:59Oh, shit.
00:39:02Oh, shit.
00:39:04Oh, shit.
00:39:05Oh, shit.
00:39:05Oh, shit.
00:39:05Oh.
00:39:08Oh, shit.
00:39:45I'll be back before you know it, and we'll celebrate Christmas after Christmas together.
00:39:55That sounds grand.
00:39:56I promise, not even New York City can keep us apart. You'll see.
00:40:24Dear 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. I sent you a slide.
00:41:06The underground train will open. It's called the subway, and it can take a person from City Hall to the
00:41:13Harlem Meadows in less than 15 minutes. Imagine that. Oh, and I tried the chestnuts, like you said, but I
00:41:21like the smell better than the taste.
00:41:23Hello. Hello. One, please. There you go, miss. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. School is going fine, I suppose.
00:41:44I'd like to introduce a new student. Samantha Parkington, who comes to us from Mount Bedford, New York, which is
00:41:53quite a change. Isn't that right, Samantha?
00:41:55Yes. Maybe you'd like to tell us a little about your life in Mount Bedford?
00:42:07Well, first, Mount Bedford is not a mountain. It's houses and churches and a river.
00:42:19And what river is that? The Houson.
00:42:25The Houson.
00:42:29The Houson.
00:42:30The Hudson. Sorry.
00:42:31That's all right. We're all nervous when we come to a new place.
00:42:35The river is the Hudson River. The same one that runs down the west side of the...
00:42:40But it would be so much more fun if you were with me.
00:42:42I missed you so, Nellie. Please 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
00:42:57more chores.
00:42:58Your uncle's house sounds grand, all stone and marble like the fine houses in the Gramercy Park that Dad used
00:43:05to point out.
00:43:05I miss you too, Samantha. And I can't wait until you get back. Love from your friend, Nellie.
00:43:13Mrs. Vandergeld has installed a shower.
00:43:16Passing fancy.
00:43:18Like rain shower?
00:43:19Exactly. Only it's inside the house, and you stand underneath, and then the water falls.
00:43:24A ridiculous contraption.
00:43:27Absurd.
00:43:27Prone to breaking, I'm sure.
00:43:30I'm sure.
00:43:32And you'd like one, I suppose.
00:43:35Absolutely.
00:43:37Oh.
00:43:38From 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.
00:44:04Good morning, class.
00:44:09Good morning, Ms. 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?
00:44:31The telephone is an excellent example.
00:44:34Anyone else?
00:44:35Samantha.
00:44:37Factories?
00:44:37Another 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 Ren's a factory.
00:44:48May I write on that, too?
00:44:49You all may write on anything you wish.
00:44:52But only twelve speeches will be chosen, and those chosen will be presented in front of the entire school at
00:44:59the Christmas program.
00:45:00Your speeches are due by Thanksgiving.
00:45:06The 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
00:45:22Tuesday.
00:45:23Women in all 45 states will be holding similar gatherings on that day.
00:45:39I'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?
00:45:51I'm not sure.
00:45:53No.
00:45:54Then 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, Linda.
00:46:13Excuse me.
00:46:15Good night.
00:46:18We'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.
00:46:42And plenty of them, too.
00:46:44Enough for everyone all at once.
00:46:46They will provide jobs for everyone who wants one, too.
00:46:51Products 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.
00:47:06Nothing from Nellie?
00:47:09No.
00:47:09I'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?
00:47:31Nellie's father has died from influenza.
00:47:35Oh, no.
00:47:37Not Nellie.
00:47:41May I see?
00:47:54She says that Mrs. Ryland sent them to an orphanage.
00:47:58In New York City.
00:48:02Cold Rock House.
00:48:03Do you know where it is?
00:48:05Is it near?
00:48:07It shouldn't be hard to find.
00:48:09Can 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.

00:55:26kinds of things like hats and gloves and anything that's warm really. They're stuck there and we
00:55:33need to help. Maybe you do. I have some old coats at home. They don't fit anymore. And gloves too.
00:55:42I'll bring them in tomorrow. Thank you. I like your pilgrims. Thank you.
00:55:58Yes, Mrs. Frucci is expecting you. I have a hamper here full of pumpkin pies and Thanksgiving
00:56:03treats for the children. May we bring them into your kitchen? I'll take that for you. Follow me.
00:56:10I'll just wait outside. All right.
00:56:26Nellie. Nellie. You found me. Here. I brought you some walls. But she's inside. Thank you,
00:56:37Samantha. And Mrs. Frucci says she'll place me out if I don't behave. What's that? Sending me away
00:56:45on the orphan train to get adopted by a family far away. Mrs. Frucci says girls with my training go
00:56:52really fast in the farm country. And Jenny and Bridget? No. They're too young. She sends me.
00:57:00I'll never get to see them again. I cannot go. And the three of you have to stay together.
00:57:07Mother, I have to think about what to do. I'm not going to let this happen to you, Nellie. I'm
00:57:12not.
00:57:14Did you hear, Gertrude, that our Samantha has been chosen out of all the girls in her school
00:57:19to speak at the Christmas program? Isn't that wonderful? It's not just me. There are 12 of us.
00:57:25That is quite an accomplishment to be one of the 12, Samantha. It is a shame that Mother won't hear
00:57:31it.
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. Oh, it looks splendid. Beautiful.
00:57:44On first Thanksgiving. I wish everyone had all the blessings that we have tonight.
00:57:51That's very thoughtful, Samantha. Shall we?
00:57:57Father, we thank Thee for this food, for health and strength and all things good. Amen.
00:58:09Come on, everything's ready. We need to hurry.
00:58:14What? What are you talking about?
00:58:17Look, if we don't go now, we never will.
00:58:19Go? Where?
00:58:21With me. I'm taking you all.
00:58:24What's wrong?
00:58:25I'm scared.
00:58:27It'll be all right. Go 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.
00:58:36Go, now.
00:58:50Jenny, Jenny, Jenny, look.
00:58:54Come on, girls. We need to go now.
00:59:00What's it for?
00:59:01I came here to bring donations for the girls.
00:59:04Yes.
00:59:06I usually come here with my aunt, who is very good friends with Mrs. Vandergaard.
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.
00:59:34For a safe keeping.
00:59:37Yes, ma'am.
00:59:39These are long.
00:59:40Get in.
00:59:41Bridget, under the desk.
00:59:43Wait.
01:00:01What are you waiting for?
01:00:02It's just a certain believe in Allow?
01:00:02How it is.
01:00:02Is it...
01:00:04Of course, man.
01:00:05...
01:00:12I can't.
01:00:27Who's there?
01:00:31Run!
01:00:32What?
01:00:34Richie, come on!
01:00:36Hey, no!
01:00:38Help!
01:00:39Stop him!
01:00:40Stop him!
01:00:41Stop him!
01:00:41Stop!
01:00:43Help!
01:00:45Hurry!
01:00:46Don't stop!
01:00:48Stop!
01:00:50Please!
01:00:53Come on, let's do it!
01:00:55What?
01:00:57Hurry, let's go!
01:00:59Please!
01:01:01Please help!
01:01:05Someone took my babies and the donation money.
01:01:08All of it.
01:01:09Which way?
01:01:10Keep up running now!
01:01:11He don't stop!
01:01:18Richie, hurry!
01:01:19Come on, keep up!
01:01:23Come on, Jenny, run!
01:01:30Go, go!
01:01:34Come on, come on, go!
01:01:36Jenny, 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, and so will Samantha's family.
01:01:49Why can't we live here?
01:01:50We're wards of the state.
01:01:51That's what Mrs. Frouchy calls us.
01:01:53We belong to them.
01:01:54To the state?
01:01:55Yes.
01:01:56And 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 all right 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.
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.
01:02:35That'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.
01:03:28I 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.
01:03:45Oh, 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 she want?
01:04:17Hard to say, madam.
01:04:19But it seemed to me she was accusing our Samantha of stealing.
01:04:24God, we must do something to stop this woman.
01:04:26There may or que from you.
01:04:41I was so busy.
01:04:41That's it.
01:04:47I love you.
01:04:51How to do it, personally?
01:04:56I was so busy.
01:04:56I fell asleep now.
01:05:08Dear Grand Mary, it'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 Nelly is in New York City now, all that's missing is you.
01:05:34Love, Samantha.
01:05:56Mm-hmm.
01:06:21Jenny, what are you doing down here?
01:06:25Is something wrong?
01:06:27What's the matter?
01:06:29What is it?
01:06:32All right.
01:06:33I'll come with you.
01:06:47Bridget, are you all right?
01:06:50You're so hot.
01:06:52Running up.
01:06:58Do you know where Nelly went?
01:07:00Was she looking to find a job?
01:07:18Is this where she went?
01:07:25Her homo is a你是?
01:07:30Oh, yeah.
01:07:32All right.
01:07:34What's that?
01:07:35Oh, no.
01:07:35Like, oh, yeah.
01:07:45Oh, no.
01:08:11Put your name on that list.
01:08:13If you can't write, make an X.
01:08:15Get in line behind that.
01:08:23If that needle breaks, it comes out of your pain.
01:08:26No, don't.
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.
01:08:53Come on.
01:08:55Hurry up.
01:08:57Sir?
01:08:58Sir?
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.
01:09:07No, sir.
01:09:09I can't wait.
01:09:10This is an emergency.
01:09:12Oh, there she is.
01:09:13Hey.
01:09:15Nellie.
01:09:16Nellie, come quick.
01:09:18Hey.
01:09:19Leave the machine.
01:09:20Lose 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.
01:09:30There'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.
01:09:51I don't want to lose Bridget, too.
01:09:53Come on.
01:09:54Let's run.
01:09:56Let'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.
01:10:15It's so cold in here.
01:10:17Mm-hmm.
01:10:26Hello, 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.
01:10:46I did something wrong.
01:10:48And I need help.
01:10:51Nellie's sister, Bridget, is sick.
01:10:59Upstairs.
01:11:00Upstairs?
01:11:01Upstairs?
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.
01:11:26Thank 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
01:11:37to save me from being sent on the orphan train
01:11:40without 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.
01:12:23But 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.
01:12:29Why would you want three girls
01:12:32who aren't related to you?
01:12:34Who 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.
01:12:56I 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.
01:13:39Before you speak,
01:13:41I'd like to say that 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.
01:13:54You know, with Christmas coming, we 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?
01:14:10You're what?
01:14:11The 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
01:14:22have 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.
01:15:47They were cold.
01:15:49And 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.
01:15:58I 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,
01:16:29we can truly be proud of our factories
01:16:31and of our progress.
01:16:50We're so proud of you.
01:16:53Grandmary!
01:16:56You were here.
01:16:59Oh, I missed you.
01:17:02I missed you, too.
01:17:03Did you know that we're coming?
01:17:04We 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...
01:17:15Oh, forgive me.
01:17:17You remember Admiral Hemis?
01:17:19Very nice to see you again, Admiral.
01:17:21That was a very impressive speech, Samantha.
01:17:24No wonder your grandmother talks about you so much.
01:17:27Excuse me.
01:17:29Samantha, that speech was not the speech
01:17:32that 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.
01:17:43And 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,
01:17:51and the other to hear.
01:17:54I beg your pardon.
01:17:57I think we'll be hearing that speech again and again.
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,
01:18:08which 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
01:18:24for 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
01:18:46that you'd like to come stay here with us.
01:18:48Permanently.
01:18:52You mean leave Mount Bedford?
01:18:54For 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?
01:19:14Will you adopt us?
01:19:19Will I?
01:19:22Yes!
01:19:33I'll take this one.
01:19:36Here you are.
01:19:42Oh, it's so beautiful.
01:19:45Oh, great, Miss.
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 I've ever seen.
01:19:57You're probably worn out.
01:19:59You should rest.
01:20:01Really.
01:20:02Really.
01:20:03Save 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.
01:20:20Oh, good.
01:20:21Good, true.
01:20:26Uncle Gar, does Santa know that Nellie and her sisters are here?
01:20:30Believe me, Samantha.
01:20:33Santa knows everything.
01:20:44Oh, just a moment.
01:20:45Let me get the notes for Santa.
01:20:47The notes.
01:20:47Nellie and Jenny.
01:20:49Yes.
01:20:50Do you want to do Bridget's too, sir?
01:20:53Okay.
01:20:55Girls.
01:20:56Milk for Santa.
01:20:58I imagine you'll be very thirsty.
01:21:01Yes.
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.
01:21:22I 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.
01:21:54I'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?
01:22:08Hungry.
01:22:10Well, let's go have Christmas.
01:22:12Oh, Christmas.
01:22:18It's so cool.
01:22:19It's so cool.
01:22:22Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
01:22:23Before you start screaming at all the silly little things Santa's left you, there's something
01:22:28we need to tell you.
01:22:29Uncle God?
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.
01:23:17Jenny?
01:23:18Jenny?
01:23:19Jenny says yes.
01:23:20Jenny says yes, sir.
01:23:23She's so happy.
01:23:25That's my girl.
01:23:30Merry Christmas.
01:23:34Merry Christmas.
01:23:36Oh, my God.
01:23:38Merry Christmas.
01:23:41Merry Christmas, April.
01:23:50It's for you.
01:23:53Oh, you're a little bit of cute.
01:23:59And Merry Christmas.
01:24:03Wait to see all their happy faces.
01:24:08Merry Christmas!
01:24:10Merry Christmas!
01:24:12Merry Christmas!
01:24:35Merry Christmas!
01:24:37Merry Christmas!
01:24:43Merry Christmas!
01:24:44For a snow, Samantha, do you think we're dreaming?
01:24:48Yes, we are. I hope we never wake up.
01:25:27Merry Christmas!
01:25:30Merry Christmas!
