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?
00:07:36Would you like anything else, ma'am?
00:07:39No, thank you, Jessie.
00:07:41That would be all.
00:07:45Samantha?
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.
00:12:32Map.
00:12:33Good.
00:12:34Go on.
00:12:35Fat.
00:12:36Rat.
00:12:38Hat.
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, Bridget.
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.
00:22:15You are my family.
00:22:16You are my little girl.
00:22:17No, you're my little girl.
00:22:38You're my little girl.
00:22:42I'm your little girl.
00:22:44I'm your little girl.
00:22:45Grandmary?
00:22:48Grandmary?
00:22:50Yes?
00:22:52Do you like Cornelia?
00:22:54Do I?
00:22:57Certainly I do, Samantha.
00:23:00She's going to be Gardner's wife.
00:23:02And your aunt.
00:23:03Our family.
00:23:05Much as we would like things to remain as they are, Samantha,
00:23:09they don't.
00:23:10And so we must learn to accept change with grace.
00:23:16Do you understand?
00:23:17Yes, Grandmary.
00:23:22She gave a dose of it to Peter.
00:23:24One tablespoon to be taken at bedtime.
00:23:27But Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail
00:23:30had bread and milk and blackberries for supper at the end.
00:23:34I can't believe how quickly you've learned this, Nellie.
00:23:37I think I've been reading over to Ash'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,
00:23:54have a bite of both,
00:23:55and 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
00:25:01and crystal stitching in between each pearl.
00:25:05And there was a large satin bow just above the bustle.
00:25:10Yes, it 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.
00:25:28And here is the fabric for the bridesmaid's dress.
00:25:32Oh.
00:25:33Oh, Grandma, 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,
00:25:48Anne Frances is not getting any better.
00:25:50It's impossible.
00:25:51You'll be newly married.
00:25:52The last thing you'll need is a child on your hands.
00:25:54She 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.
00:26:22Allie!

00:37:01Good to see you.
00:37:03Thank you so much.
00:37:08What a pleasant occasion.
00:37:10And he's a fine catch.
00:37:11But then again, we always knew she'd marry well.
00:37:14Not 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.
00:37:31Goodbye.
00:37:36Goodbye.
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?
00:38:04Letting Cornelia have your mother's bail 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.
00:38:25Goodbye, Uncle Carl.
00:38:30Samantha, over here.
00:38:35Look what I found.
00:38:37No.
00:38:38Yes.
00:38:38It's Eddie 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.
00:39:03Hello, I'll be fine.
00:39:09I'll be fine, too.
00:39:09OK, so we can have those clothes in the middle of the morning.
00:39:12Thank you Dad.
00:39:13Yes, my forget my forget-
00:39:34Is that everything?
00:39:37I write you three times a day.
00:39:40I miss you so much.
00:39:42I'm going to miss you something awful,
00:39:44Samantha Parkington.
00:39:46You promise you won't forget me now?
00:39:48Well, forget you.
00:39:50I'll be back before you know it.
00:39:52And we'll celebrate Christmas after Christmas together.
00:39:55That sounds grand.
00:39:57I promise.
00:39:58Not even New York City can keep us apart.
00:40:01You'll see.
00:40:24Dear Nellie, today Uncle Garg, Aunt Cornelia, and I went on a tour of New York City.
00:40:30First, we stopped in the Madison Square and saw the magnificent Fuller Building.
00:40:35I sent you a slide.
00:40:37They call it the Flat Iron now.
00:40:40Isn't that silly naming a building after an iron?
00:40:46Oh, Nellie, there are so many people here from all over the world speaking different languages
00:40:53and shouting and laughing that it makes my ears hurt.
00:40:57And the streets were so full of carriages and automobiles that there were times where we
00:41:03could hardly move.
00:41:04Uncle Garg says that next month an underground train will open.
00:41:08It's called the subway, and it can take a person from City Hall to the Harlem Meadows in less
00:41:14than 15 minutes.
00:41:16Imagine that.
00:41:18Oh, and I tried the chestnuts, like you said, but I like the smell better than the taste.
00:41:23Hello.
00:41:24Hello.
00:41:25One, please.
00:41:27There you go, miss.
00:41:29Thank you, sir.
00:41:29You're welcome.
00:41:33School is going fine, I suppose.
00:41:44I'd like to introduce a new student.
00:41:49Samantha Parkington, who comes to us from Mount Bedford, New York, which is quite a change.
00:41:54Isn't that right, Samantha?
00:41:56Yes.
00:41:57Maybe you'd like to tell us a little about your life in Mount Bedford.
00:42:07Well, first, Mount Bedford is not a mountain.
00:42:14It's houses and churches and a river.
00:42:19And what river is that?
00:42:21The Houson.
00:42:24The Houson.
00:42:28The Hudson.
00:42:30Sorry.
00:42:31That's all right.
00:42:32We're all nervous when we come to a new place.
00:42:35The river is the Hudson River.
00:42:38The 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.
00:42:43I miss you so, Nellie.
00:42:45Please write back soon, your best friend, Samantha.
00:42:51Dear Samantha, I'm sorry I haven't written much, but Dad's been under the weather, and I've had to take on
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.
00:43:06I miss you too, Samantha, and I can't wait until you get back.
00:43:10Love from your friend, Nellie.
00:43:13Mrs. Vandergeld has installed a shower.
00:43:17Passing fancy.
00:43:17Like rain shower?
00:43:19Exactly.
00:43:20Only it's inside the house, and you stand underneath, and then the water falls.
00:43:24A ridiculous contraption.
00:43:26Absurd.
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, from Grandmary.
00:43:40She has been to see the Admiral.
00:43:47What's so amusing?
00:43:49Well, 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.
00:44:17The 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 12 speeches will be chosen.
00:44:55And those chosen will be presented in front of the entire school at the Christmas program.
00:45:00Your speeches are due by Thanksgiving.
00:45:06The 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.
00:45:55Then you won't have to.
00:45:56Isn't that right, Mrs. Vandergeld?
00:45:58Oh, quite.
00:46:00Quite right.
00:46:01It's the right to vote we're fighting for, not the requirement.
00:46:06Good night, Samantha.
00:46:08Good night.
00:46:10Thank you, Amanda.
00:46:13Excuse me.
00:46:15Good night.
00:46:17Good night.
00:46:18Bye.
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, and plenty of them, too.
00:46:44Enough for everyone all at once.
00:46:46They will provide jobs for everyone who wants one, too.
00:46:50Products that are made by hand will soon be replaced by those made by machine.
00:46:55Thank you, Gertrude.
00:46:56I am impressed.
00:46:58Afternoon mail.
00:46:59Hello, sweetheart.
00:47:01Anything for me?
00:47:03Well, there's a postcard here to all of us from Grand Mary.
00:47:07Nothing from Nellie?
00:47:09No, I'm afraid not.
00:47:13I haven't heard from her in weeks.
00:47:17Oh.
00:47:18There's a letter here from Mount Bedford, from Mrs. Hawkins.
00:47:21What does it say?
00:47:24Oh, dear.
00:47:28What?
00:47:30Nellie's father has died from influenza.
00:47:35Oh, no.
00:47:37Come on, Nellie.
00:47:40May I see?
00:47:42Oh.
00:47:54She says that Mrs. Ryland sent them to an orphanage.
00:47:59In New York City.
00:48:01The Cold 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.
00:48:26I'm so sad for you and the girls.
00:48:28We all are.
00:48:29But Uncle Gar is going to arrange for me to see you.
00:48:32And I'll be there in no time.
00:48:35Write me back as soon as you can.
00:48:37Your friend, Samantha.
00:48:40Yeah!
00:49:00I'm practicing for my piano lesson.
00:49:03I'd like to stay and listen.
00:49:05Do you mind?
00:49:07Do you mind?
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 guard.
00:50:29Oh, good guard.
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?
00:50:51The orphans are not allowed to have visitors who are not related, unless they're serious about
00:50:54adoption.
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.
00:52:20She spoke very highly of you.
00:52:23And of you, Mrs. Fauci.
00:52:25Mrs. Vandergeld is our most generous benefactor.
00:52:27Would 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.
00:52:40Oh.
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.
00:53:06Obedience, 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.
00:53:29They'll have a party for them later.
00:53:32Bye!
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. Rouchy, how many children do you have in this dormitory school?
00:54:09Oh, the number of children ranges from one hundred and twenty-five...
00:54:13Mally!
00:54:13Oh!
00:54:14Samantha!
00:54:17What are you doing here?
00:54:19Are you all right?
00:54:21You'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.
00:54:33I'm sure they think I've abandoned them.
00:54:35You cannot stay here.
00:54:38Are you ever allowed outside?
00:54:40Only when I 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?
00:55:15It'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.
00:55:26They 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. Frouchy 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!
00:56:26Nellie!
00:56:30You found me!
00:56:33Here.
00:56:34I brought you some walls, but she's inside.
00:56:37Thank you, Samantha.
00:56:39And Mrs. Frouchy 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. Frouchy 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.
00:56:59She sends me.
00:57:00I'll never get to see them again.
00:57:02Oh, you cannot go.
00:57:04And the three of you have to stay together.
00:57:07Mother, I have to think about what to do.
00:57:09I'm not going to 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
00:57:19to speak at the Christmas program?
00:57:21Isn't that wonderful?
00:57:23It's not just me.
00:57:24There are 12 of us.
00:57:25That is quite an accomplishment to be one of the 12, Samantha.
00:57:30It is a shame that Mother won't hear 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.
00:57:42Beautiful.
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.
00:57:54Shall 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 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 all right.
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!
00:58:50Jenny, 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?
00:59:06I 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.
00:59:15Off you go.
00:59:22Nellie, where are you?
00:59:26Samantha!
00:59:27I'll deposit the donation money Monday, Mrs. Frouchy.
00:59:30You best give it to me.
00:59:31I'll hold on to it.
00:59:35For safekeeping.
00:59:37Yes, ma'am.
00:59:39These are locked.
00:59:41Get in.
00:59:41Bridget, under the vest.
00:59:42I'll do if it is safe.
00:59:44Ladies, I'll do this.
00:59:45We'll dance.
01:00:27Who's there?
01:00:31Run!
01:00:32What?
01:00:34Richie, come on!
01:00:36Hey, no!
01:00:38Wait!
01:00:38Help!
01:00:39Stop!
01:00:40Stop!
01:00:42Stop!
01:00:42Stop!
01:00:44Hurry!
01:00:46Don't stop!
01:00:48Stop!
01:00:50Please!
01:00:52Come on, you can 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?
01:01:10He's not running, Nellie!
01:01:12Don't stop!
01:01:18Bridget, hurry, come on, pick up!
01:01:23Come on, Jenny, run!
01:01:30Go, go!
01:01:34Come on, come on, go, Jenny, go!
01:01:40Dinner!
01:01:41Shh!
01:01:42Shh!
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, and 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.
01:02:08Slower, 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.
01:02:35That's what friends do.
01:02:41Samantha's been here all afternoon.
01:02:43Are you certain?
01:02:45Samantha?
01:02:46Yes?
01:02:52Any further questions?
01:02:54My matron informed me that she was at the orphanage a short while ago.
01:02:59A 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.
01:03:32Do 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.
01:03:45Samantha, I 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.
01:04:02Don't worry, Nellie.
01:04:04I'm not going to let anything happen to any of you.
01:04:08I promise.
01:04:11Gertrude 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.
01:04:26Alright.ᵘ
01:04:27Good good.
01:04:41Bye-bye.
01:04:42Good. Bye-bye.
01:04:48Hi.
01:04:48Bye-bye.
01:04:50Good.
01:04:52Bye-bye.
01:05:08Dear Grandmary, 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,
01:05:17and 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.
01:06:21What 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?
01:06:51You're so hot.
01:06:52Running up.
01:06:58Do you know where Nellie went?
01:07:00Was she looking to find a job?
01:07:18Is this where she went?
01:07:23What are you doing down here?
01:07:26What are you doing?
01:07:38What is it?
01:07:42What are you doing?
01:07:44I'm washing my starting mat.
01:07:44Oh, are younya doing...
01:08:12Put your name on that list.
01:08:13If you can't write, make an X. Get in line behind them.
01:08:19Hold on there.
01:08:23If that needle breaks, it comes out of your pain.
01:08:27Quiet.
01:08:29Look, 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. Hold it tight.
01:08:48All right, we got an opening now.
01:08:53Come on. Hurry up.
01:08:58Sir? Sir? I'm looking for my friend.
01:09:02This ain't a tea party. You want to see your friend? Get in line behind them.
01:09:06Wait till 7 o'clock.
01:09:07No, sir. I can't wait. This is an emergency.
01:09:12Oh, there she is.
01:09:13Hey!
01:09:15Valley! Valley, come quick!
01:09:17Hey! Leave the machine, lose the machine.
01:09:21Them's the rules.
01:09:22Bridget is sick. Come on!
01:09:25You decide, girly. You 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.
01:09:43Just 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.
01:10:06I've never seen her this bad.
01:10:10It's my fault for leaving.
01:10:15It's so cold in here.
01:10:27Hello, Angel.
01:10:28Big 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.
01:10:48And I need help.
01:10:51Nellie's sister, Bridget, is sick.
01:10:58Upstairs.
01:11:00Upstairs?
01:11:08She's quite dehydrated.
01:11:10Under my orders, you're not to move her.
01:11:12At least for a few weeks, until she gets her strength back.
01:11:15Of course, Doctor.
01:11:20Any 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...
01:11:37...to save me from being sent on the orphan train without my sisters.
01:11:42They're not supposed to separate families.
01:11:44Ma'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, you 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?
01:12:37At Cornelia's friends.
01:12:39My friends?
01:12:40At the wedding.
01:12:42They said it was a shame that I was coming here.
01:12:45Oh, Samantha.
01:12:47Don'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.
01:13:08No one touched Mrs. Fauci's money.
01:13:10We 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.
01:13:20I 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, I'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.
01:13:54You 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. Which 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.
01:14:35Good day.
01:14:48Factories 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 and 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, working 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.
01:15:59I know.
01:16:00I saw one.
01:16:03If our factories can hurt children, then we have not made good progress in America.
01:16:10These words are not the words I had written, but 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, even if they are not their own.
01:16:26And once we do that, we can truly be proud of our factories and of our progress.
01:16:48She was marvelous.
01:16:50Wonderful, Samantha.
01:16:51I'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.
01:17:24No 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.
01:17:43And I'm a much harsher judge, I can assure you.
01:17:46I believe it takes two to speak the truth.
01:17:49One 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.
01:18:43Samantha, Cornelia and I were hoping that you'd like to come stay here with us.
01:18:48Permanently.
01:18:51You mean leave Mount Bedford?
01:18:54For good?
01:18:56But what about Grandmary?
01:18:58I don't want her to be all alone.
01:19:00She won't be.
01:19:01Because...
01:19:02Grandmary 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?
01:19:18Will I?
01:19:22Yes!
01:19:33I'll take this, baby.
01:19:35Here you are.
01:19:42Oh, it's so beautiful!
01:19:45So great, Mary!
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.
01:20:02Stay straight.
01:20:08Can we open Christmas stuff?
01:20:10Not now.
01:20:11Not until tomorrow.
01:20:13But you can start working on your notes to Santa.
01:20:15And...
01:20:16There's hot chocolate in the kitchen.
01:20:18Ooh!
01:20:20Um...
01:20:21Gertrude?
01:20:26Uncle Gard?
01:20:28Does 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.
01:20:47Who notes?
01:20:47Nellie?
01:20:48And Jenny?
01:20:49Yes?
01:20:50Do you want to do Bridget's too soon?
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.
01:21:25It'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.
01:21:52I'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!
01:22:12Merry Christmas!
01:22:17Merry Christmas!
01:22:18Merry Christmas!
01:22:18Merry Christmas!
01:22:19Merry Christmas!
01:22:19Merry Christmas!
01:22:19It's so beautiful!
01:22:22Hey, 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 Gard?
01:22:30What?
01:22:31Samantha asked if we would let you three girls come and be maids.
01:22:35Oh, yes, sir!
01:22:37We'll work very hard morning to night, sir.
01:22:40But we don't need any more maids.
01:22:42However, Samantha's gonna live with us permanently.
01:22:48And there's one thing she needs that we would love to give her.
01:22:51She needs three sisters.
01:22:55But 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!
01:23:23She's talking!
01:23:24She's talking!
01:23:25She's talking!
01:23:26That's my girl!
01:23:28Ha!
01:23:28Ha!
01:23:29Ha!
01:23:30Merry Christmas!
01:23:32Merry Christmas!
01:23:33Merry Christmas!
01:23:34Merry Christmas!
01:23:35Merry Christmas!
01:23:36Ah, come on!
01:23:39Merry Christmas!
01:23:41Merry Christmas!
01:23:42Merry Christmas, Admiral!
01:23:46Oh!
01:23:49Oh!
01:23:50Hey, this went for you!
01:23:52Oh, what do you look like?
01:23:53Oh, I really hope there are!
01:23:55Big Christmas!
01:23:58There you go!
01:23:59Thank you!
01:23:59And Merry Christmas!
01:24:04I can't wait to see all their happy faces.
01:24:08Merry Christmas!
01:24:10Merry Christmas!
01:24:35Merry Christmas!
01:24:37Merry Christmas!
01:24:38Merry Christmas!
01:24:38Merry Christmas!
01:24:39Merry Christmas!
01:24:41Merry Christmas!
01:24:44For a snow, Samantha, do you think we're dreaming?
01:24:48Yes, we are.
01:24:50I hope we never wake up.
01:25:27Merry Christmas!
