SHE'S A BEAUTY.
I'LL WAGER THAT SCHOONER IS SHIPPING IN COAL FROM WALES.
MIGHT STOP IN HALIFAX AND PICK UP SOME LUMBER
AND HEAD DOWN TO CHILE.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN EXCITING
BEING A SAILOR AND SEEING THE WORLD.
WELL, I...TRAVELLED NEAR HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD.
NEVER SAW A SIGHT AS LOVELY
AS THE ONE I'M LOOKING AT RIGHT HERE.
NOT MANY FLIES OUT TODAY.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME
TO GREEN GABLES AND BUILD A FORT OUT OF MUD?
I'VE GOT TO GO TO WORK.
SORRY.
REMIND ME NOT TO GET A JOB WHEN I'M OLDER.
HOW ABOUT YOU, IZZY?
WANT TO BUILD A FORT?
I CAN'T -- MRS. DALE'S TEACHING
ME COOKING LESSONS AFTER SCHOOL.
WHAT FOR?
I'M TIRED OF MY FATHER'S COOKING.
EVERYTHING HE MAKES STARTS
WITH A POUND OF NAVY BEANS.
WELL, HOW ABOUT AFTER YOUR LESSON?
I PROMISED MY FATHER
WE'D PLAY CHECKERS LATER.
AGAIN?
AGAIN.
THIS MUST BE THE TENTH TIME IN A ROW.
MORE LIKE TENTH TIMES 10.
IT'S ALL MORGAN'S FAULT.
EVER SINCE HE WENT TO THE MILITARY,
FATHER DIVERTED ALL HIS ATTENTION TO ME.
I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE HEART
TO TELL HIM I DON'T LIKE CHECKERS.
HE NEEDS A DOG.
I'D SAY HE NEEDS A WIFE.
WELL, IF I DIDN'T SEE IT
WITH MY OWN EYES, I WOULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
MATT O'DONNELL?
AH, GUS PIKE.
AH, HOW ARE YOU, B'Y?
WELL, LOOK AT YOU.
LOOK AT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, YOU REMEMBER DONAVAN TURNER?
AH, WORST COOK ON ANY SHIP AFLOAT.
AH, WELL, I RAN INTO HIM
ABOUT SIX MONTHS BACK,
AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE HEARD THAT YOU WERE WORKING
FOR THE FANCIEST HOTEL ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.
WELL, OF COURSE I DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM.
BUT MY SHIP DOCKED THIS MORNING;
I FIGURED I'D CHECK IT OUT FOR MYSELF.
AND HERE YOU ARE ALL SPIFFED UP TO THE NINES.
I'D HARDLY RECOGNIZE YOU.
WAS THAT YOUR SCHOONER
I SAW COMING IN THIS MORNING?
THAT IT WAS, THE ANNIE-JANE. SHE'S LOVELY.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS.
WELL, I'LL COME SEE YOU AFTER WORK.
WHERE ARE YOU STAYING?
RIGHT HERE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT A ROOM HERE COSTS?
WELL, I'M NOT A DECK HAND ANY MORE, GUS PIKE, HUH?
FIRST MATE.
GO ON WITH YOU.
EXCUSE ME -- MAY I SEE YOU
FOR A MOMENT IN MY OFFICE, GUS?
YES, SIR.
FELIX.
MAKE SURE HE GETS THE BEST WE GOT.
AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A VACANY ON THE STAFF.
MR. SEDGEWICK HAS ACCEPTED PLACEMENT IN HALIFAX.
MY BUSINESS PARTNER THINKS... YOU SHOULD TAKE HIS PLACE.
I AGREE.
ASSISTANT MANAGER?
A RAISE WILL CERTAINLY BE IN ORDER, IF YOU ACCEPT.
I ACCEPT.
AH, YOU'RE A GREAT FAVOURITE WITH THE GUESTS.
AND YOU HAVE OUR UTMOST CONFIDENCE.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
MRS. KING, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
OH, SEEING YOU DO SO WELL GUS, SUFFICIENT THANKS FOR
US ISN'T WHAT COMES TO [INAUDIBLE]...
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO ME.
MR. KING.
GUS, HOW'S IT GOING THERE, LAD?
NEVER BETTER.
I'M AFRAID FELICITY'S NOT HERE.
SHE'S, UH, SHE'S OFF IN SUMMERSIDE
HELPING THAT DR. JONES.
WELL, I'M NOT HERE TO SEE FELICITY, MR. KING.
I'M HERE TO SEE YOU.
OH, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, I'VE JUST RECEIVED A PROMOTION AT THE HOTEL.
I'M THE NEW ASSISTANT MANAGER.
THAT'S WONDERFUL. GOOD FOR YOU.
YEAH, SO, UH...
UH...
OH, MY GOSH, I WANT TO DO THIS PROPER.
I'VE BEEN PRACTISING FOR YEARS.
UM...WHAT I MEAN TO SAY IS
I NOW HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF FELICITY.
MR. KING, I'D LIKE TO ASK
YOUR PERMISSION TO MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER.
IF I LOOK THROUGH THAT MICROSCOPE ANY MORE TODAY,
I'M GOING TO GO BLIND.
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
GOOD -- I'VE JUST COPIED EVERY LAST REFERENCE ON THE RESEARCH
DONE BY PROFESSOR McEACHARN ON TUBERCULOSIS IN RANCH CATTLE.
OH, THANK YOU. THAT'S A GREAT HELP.
BUT I SHOULD BE GOING NOW.
BEFORE YOU GO, I HAVE SOME NEWS.
I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO TALK SINCE THE MAIL ARRIVED.
ABOUT WHAT?
I HEARD FROM THE DEAN OF STUDENTS
AT THE DALHOUSIE MEDICAL SCHOOL.
I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING BEFORE
BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP.
HE'S A CHAMPION OF WOMEN'S CAUSES.
IN FACT HE'S THE ONE WHO GAVE ME MY OWN START.
NOW, APPARENTLY A STUDENT HAS DROPPED OUT.
THAT LEFT A SPACE,
AND BASED ON THE ENTRANCE TESTS YOU TOOK LAST MONTH
AND MY OWN HIGH RECOMMENDATION, THEY ACCEPTED YOU IMMEDIATELY
TO FILL THE SPOT, THE ONLY WOMAN IN YOUR YEAR.
YOU CAN START NEXT MONTH.
I CAN?
OH, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
[ OLIVIA ]: IT'S NICE YOU'VE YOUR MOTHER'S OLD RECIPES, IZZY.
IT'S NICE TO HAVE ANOTHER FACE AROUND.
FATHER'S GETTING ON MY NERVES THESE DAYS.
REALLY?
WELL, REMEMBER WHEN HE AND MISS KING
USED TO GET TOGETHER TO ANALYSE EACH OTHER'S WRITING?
MM-HMM.
WHY DON'T THEY CONSULT ANY MORE?
OH, WELL, HETTY'S BUSY.
YOUR FATHER'S BUSY.
IZZY, WHAT IS THAT INGREDIENT?
I CAN'T READ IT FOR THE STAIN.
I DON'T KNOW.
I GUESS WE'LL HAVE TO DO WITHOUT IT.
WELL, I THINK THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER AGAIN, DON'T YOU?
WHO?
MY FATHER AND YOUR SISTER.
OH...WELL, HETTY'S WORKING ON A NEW TYPE OF BOOK.
AND I DON'T KNOW THAT SHE'S READY TO SHOW IT TO ANYONE.
WELL, THEY DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WRITING.
OH, YOU WANT THEM TO GET TOGETHER--
COUNT THE STARS, THAT SORT OF THING.
IZZY...HETTY AND YOUR FATHER ARE...JUST FRIENDS.
WELL, YES, NOW.
BUT PERHAPS IF THEY COUNTED ENOUGH STARS TOGETHER...
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
NO? NO.
GUESS I'D BETTER LEARN TO LOVE CHECKERS.
GUS, THIS IS LOVELY.
HOW DID YOU GET THE TIME OFF WORK?
WELL, I FIGURED THE NEW ASSISTANT MANAGER
COULD AT LEAST GIVE HIMSELF ONE NIGHT TO CELEBRATE.
GUS, THAT'S WONDERFUL.
THE MENU, SIR.
LATER, FELIX.
I HIGHLY SUGGEST THE DUCK.
LATER, FELIX.
OH, BUT OF COURSE YOU COULD HAVE LIVER AND ONIONS.
IT'S VERY GOOD FOR YOUR BREATH.
FELIX.
I'LL JUST LEAVE THIS RIGHT HERE.
WHERE WERE WE?
YOUR NEW JOB.
FELICITY...I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL DESSERT,
BUT I DON'T THINK I CAN.
THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT MY NEW JOB AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED--
HAVE YOU MADE A DECISION YET?
FELIX, WOULD YOU JUST GIVE ME A MINUTE?
I'LL HAVE THE DUCK, PLEASE.
THE DUCK?
MAKE THAT TWO.
TWO DUCKS COMING UP.
OH, GUS, I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL YOU MY NEWS.
YOU'LL NEVER GUESS.
JUST LET ME FINISH.
THE WONDERFUL THING ABOUT MY NEW JOB
IS THAT NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO WAIT.
WAIT FOR WHAT?
GUS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
FELICITY KING,
WILL YOU DO ME THE HONOUR
OF ACCEPTING MY PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE?
MARRY YOU?
NOW?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOW?
GUS, YOU DIDN'T EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE TO TELL YOU MY NEWS.
I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED TO DALHOUSIE MEDICAL SCHOOL NEXT MONTH.
WELL, I FIGURED I'D FINISH SCHOOL BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED.
MEDICAL SCHOOL?
YOU KNEW I WAS APPLYING.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D GET ACCEPTED.
WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.
I JUST THINK IT'S CRAZY.
YOU'RE SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR HEARTACHE.
OH, IS THAT SO?
WHO'S GOING TO GO SEE A WOMAN DOCTOR ANYWAY?
YOU THINK THE ARCHIE GILLISES OF THIS WORLD
WILL LINE UP TO SEE A WOMAN DOCTOR?
DR. JONES HAS A PERFECTLY GOOD PRACTICE.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT DR. JONES.
I CARE ABOUT US.
WHAT'S SO TERRIBLE ABOUT
WAITING UNTIL I'M FINISHED SCHOOL?
I'VE ALREADY WAITED LONG ENOUGH.
I WANT TO GET MARRIED NOW.
THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD FIND A WOMAN WHOSE ONLY DESIRE
IS TO SIT AT HOME AND DARN YOUR SOCKS.
MAYBE I WILL.
FINE.
YOUR DUCK.
MOTHER.
OH, FELICITY, I'M HOME.
WELCOME HOME.
AUNT ELIZA, OH.
MOTHER, HOW IS CECILY DOING?
OH, SHE'S DOING SO WELL AT THE SANATORIUM.
YOU SHOULD SEE HER.
THANKS HEAVENS.
BUT FATHER WAS TELLING ME ABOUT YOUR NEWS.
YES, I'LL BE LEAVING FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL IN FOUR WEEKS.
ISN'T IT EXCITING?
YES, YEAH.
I WAS TALKING ABOUT GUS.
PLEASE DON'T MENTION THAT NAME.
WHY NOT?
HE SAYS HE WON'T WAIT FOR MY SCHOOLING.
YOU MAY RECALL
I ONCE KEPT A BEAU WAITING.
AUNT ELIZA...
A LOVELY YOUNG MAN.
RODNEY BINSCARTH.
OH, I WAS QUITE TAKEN WITH HIM.
BUT I HAD BEEN INVITED TO TOUR EUROPE
WITH A RICH AUNT.
SO I TOLD HIM TO WAIT.
WHEN I CAME BACK, RODNEY HAD MARRIED SOMEONE ELSE.
HOW LONG WERE YOU GONE?
10 MONTHS.
HE COULDN'T WAIT 10 MONTHS?
HE MET SOMEONE ELSE AND FELL IN LOVE.
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
PEOPLE CHANGE,
PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY'RE AS YOUNG AS FELICITY AND GUS.
IT'S FINE AND WELL FOR YOU TO TELL YOUR YOUNG MAN TO WAIT,
BUT WHEN YOU'RE READY TO MARRY
IN SIX MONTHS, PERHAPS SIX YEARS,
DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE THE SAME GUS PIKE.
BY THEN HE MIGHT NOT BE INTERESTED IN YOU.
IF SHE'S THAT FLIGHTY, YOU'RE BETTER OFF WITHOUT HER.
EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.
THEN MARRY HER AND GO OFF TOGETHER.
AND DO WHAT?
WELL, YOU TELL ME.
IS ONE HOTEL THAT MUCH DIFFERENT THAN ANOTHER?
YES.
COULDN'T GET ME TO WORK IN ONE.
IT'S NOT SO BAD.
LOOK AT YOU.
YOU NEVER GET OUT.
YOU'RE PALE AS A DEAD MAN.
ALL DAY LONG YOU'RE RUNNING HERE AND THERE,
"YES, SIR, NO, SIR,"
KOWTOWING TO EVERY STUFFED SHIRT WITH THE PRICE OF A ROOM.
PLENTY OF "YES, SIR, NO, SIR" ON A SHIP, TOO.
AH.
NOT WHEN YOU GET TO BE CAPTAIN.
BUT YOU TAKE YOUR BOSS, MR. TREMAYNE.
NOW, YOU COULD SAY HE'S CAPTAIN
OF THE WHITE SANDS.
YET I STILL SEE HIM APPLE-POLISHING
AND BOOT-LICKING HIS CUSTOMERS.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK
FORWARD TO, EVEN IF YOU MAKE IT TO THE TOP.
MAKE GOOD MONEY.
STEADY JOB.
YOU WANT A STEADY JOB? WE'RE SHORT A MAN ON THE [INAUDIBLE].
HEAR ME OUT.
THE COMPANY I WORK FOR, PEARSON & STERN SHIPPING
THEY'VE GOT 10 SHIPS IN THEIR FLEET.
THEY'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD MEN.
NOW YOU'RE HARD WORKING, YOU'RE SMART, HEHE,
YOU'RE EVEN EDUCATED NOW.
I BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR
YOU CAN MAKE CAPTAIN BEFORE YOU'RE THIRTY.
BOY.
OH, BOY.
YES?
I HAVE A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH MY ROOM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU,
MRS. WIGMORE?
THERE IS FROST ON MY WINDOW.
WELL, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE, MA'AM.
NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT THAT.
THEN I WANT TO CHANGE ROOMS.
YOU CHANGED ROOMS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
TO GET A BETTER VIEW, WHICH I CAN'T SEE BECAUSE OF THE FROST.
I WANT MY OLD ROOM BACK.
WELL, I'M SORRY, MA'AM.
IS THERE A PROBLEM?
I WANT TO CHANGE MY ROOM.
WELL, THAT CAN BE ARRANGED.
WELL, SHE'S ALREADY CHANGED ROOMS FOUR TIMES
IN THE LAST THREE DAYS.
THE GUEST'S COMFORT IS OUR FIRST CONCERN.
WELL, WE'RE A BIT SHORTHANDED AT THE MOMENT.
BUT I'LL HAVE SOMEONE ATTEND TO YOU AFTER TEA.
OH, BUT I DID SO WANT TO BE MOVED NOW.
I'LL MIND THE FRONT DESK, GUS,
WHILE YOU HELP MRS. WIGMORE.
LET'S SEE.
THE FIRST YEAR YOU'LL BE TAKING PHYSICS,
CHEMISTRY, BASIC ANATOMY AND MATHEMATICS.
WHAT HAS MATHEMATICS GOT TO DO WITH MEDICINE?
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO GET THROUGH YOUR PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY?
MATHEMATICS ISN'T EXACTLY MY STRONGEST SUBJECT.
I'M SURE YOU'LL BE FINE.
HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO FINISH?
WELL, WITH HARD WORK AND LUCK,
YOU SHOULD BE THROUGH IN FIVE YEARS.
IT TOOK ME SEVEN BECAUSE I HAD TO STOP
EVERY NOW AND THEN TO MAKE ENOUGH MONEY TO FINISH.
MOTHER AND FATHER SAID THEY HAD ENOUGH MONEY
FOR ONE YEAR OF TEACHER'S COLLEGE.
BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE ENOUGH FOR MY BROTHERS AND SISTER
IN CASE THEY WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE TOO.
I'LL BE LUCKY
IF I'M FINISHED IN SEVEN.
IT WASN'T EASY, BUT I LOVED WHAT I WAS DOING.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE THAT SAME DETERMINATION.
SEVEN YEARS.
I'M GOING TO THE POST OFFICE AND TO GET APPLES.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE HOUSE.
YES, FATHER.
PERHAPS WE'LL PUT LOGS IN THE FIREPLACE
AND GET OUT THE PARCHEESI GAME.
AT LEAST HE DIDN'T SUGGEST CHECKERS.
I'M BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND
WHY YOUR BROTHER WENT TO MILITARY SCHOOL.
I'M TELLING YOU, YOU'D BETTER FIND HIM A WIFE.
WHO? HETTY KING ISN'T INTERESTED.
HOW ABOUT...RACHEL LYNDE?
WE'D BE SISTERS.
I DON'T THINK MRS. LYNDE
WOULD SIT STILL FOR A GAME OF CHECKERS.
THERE MUST BE SOMEBODY.
WHO WOULD YOU WANT FOR A MOTHER?
OLIVIA DALE, BUT SHE'S SPOKEN FOR.
HOW ABOUT MURIEL STACEY?
SHE'S PERFECT.
I'LL SAY. SHE HAS A MOTORCAR.
HOW COULD YOU GET MY BILL MIXED UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S?
WELL, THAT SOMETIMES HAPPENS.
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
I SPENT ALL MORNING FIGURING OUT
WHAT THOSE RIDICULOUS CHARGES WERE FOR.
NOT ONCE DID I HAVE A MILK BATH OR A SARSAPARILLA.
WELL, A MISTAKE WAS MADE.
I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT, MR. HATFIELD.
WAKEFIELD, WAKE-- WAKEFIELD.
NO WONDER YOU GET MY BILL MIXED UP.
YOU CAN'T EVEN GET MY NAME RIGHT.
LORD SAVE US FROM INCOMPETENTS, HONESTLY.
WELL, HELLO THERE.
HELLO.
DAVEY KEITH, YOU ARE GROWING TALLER BY THE MINUTE.
MRS. LYNDE SAYS I GROW LIKE PIGWEED IN THE NIGHT.
ARE YOU FINDING EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED, CHILDREN?
YES, THANK YOU.
EXCEPT I WAS WONDERING... DO YOU LIKE RIDING HORSES?
WELL I THINK I PREFER DRIVING MY MOTORCAR,
IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.
OH, WELL, THEN, DO YOU LIKE WAR?
DEAR ME, NO.
QUITE THE OPPOSITE, AS A MATTER OF FACT.
I SUPPOSE THAT GOES FOR SWORDS AS WELL.
I, UH, CAN'T SAY I'VE EVER HAD THE DESIRE TO OWN ONE.
SURELY YOU DON'T MIND READING
A MILITARY HISTORY BOOK EVERY NOW AND THEN.
IZZY, I'M AFRAID THAT'S RATHER FAR DOWN MY LIST.
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU LIKE PLAYING CHECKERS EITHER?
WELL, NOW, EVERYONE LIKES CHECKERS.
WHY DO YOU ASK?
IDLE CHITCHAT.
DON'T FORGET TO CHAT ABOUT YOUR FATHER WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.
WHAT'S THAT ABOUT YOUR FATHER?
FATHER WANTED ME TO...TO ORDER A BOOK FOR THE SCHOOLHOUSE.
VERY URGENT.
WHAT SORT OF BOOK?
A BOOK...A BOOK TO HELP DORA.
SHE'S DEVELOPED A VERY KEEN INTEREST IN...WELL, UH--
BUGS.
BUGS?
BUGS.
FATHER WANTED A PROPER RESOURCE BOOK ON INSECTS.
I THINK I KNOW JUST THE BOOK.
LET ME GET MY ORDER FORM.
THERE YOU GO.
PROMISE ME YOU WON'T FALL OUT OF ANY MORE TREES.
IF IT BOTHERS HIM, LET ME KNOW.
OTHERWISE COME BACK IN SIX WEEKS,
AND WE'LL SEE HOW HE'S DOING.
THANK YOU.
WHEN'S YOUR BABY DUE?
PRETTY SOON.
DO YOU HAVE A DOCTOR?
OH, I'M FINE. I'VE ALREADY HAD FOUR BABIES.
IT WOULDN'T TAKE A MINUTE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS WELL.
NO, THANK YOU -- TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH
I'M ONLY HERE BECAUSE I KNEW
HIS ARM NEEDED SETTING, AND DR. HALLEY WAS AWAY.
AND I DIDN'T TELL MY HUSBAND I WAS COMING OVER.
HE DOESN'T TRUST WOMEN DOCTORS.
DOESN'T TRUST WOMEN DOCTORS?
WE'RE A LONG WAY FROM BEING ACCEPTED.
BUT YOU'VE GOT SUCH A GOOD PRACTICE.
I'VE MANAGED TO MAKE A LIVING.
I DON'T KNOW I'D CHARACTERIZE IT AS A GOOD PRACTICE.
DR. HALLEY MUST HAVE, OH, FIVE OR SIX TIMES
THE PATIENTS I DO.
PEOPLE TRUST A MAN MORE.
IT MEANS I HAVE TO WORK TWICE AS HARD TO PROVE MYSELF.
WAITER.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
IS IT ASKING TOO MUCH THAT I BE SERVED FRESH SANDWICHES?
WELL, IF YOU'RE UNHAPPY WITH YOUR FOOD--
UNHAPPY? IT'S INEDIBLE.
WELL, I CAN GET YOU ANOTHER SERVING.
OR IF YOU WISH, YOU CAN ORDER SOMETHING ELSE.
WELL, I'M HARDLY HUNGRY NOW, AM I,
AFTER A MOUTHFUL OF SPOILED SALMON.
PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE SOME SOUP OR SALAD, NO CHARGE.
WHAT I WOULD LIKE IS TO KNOW WHY I WAS SERVED
SUCH A MISERABLE MEAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
WELL, OBVIOUSLY A MISTAKE WAS MADE.
TASTE THIS. IT'S STALE.
I BELIEVE YOU.
TASTE THIS! WHY SHOULD I BE THE ONLY ONE TO SUFFER?
I'M NOT IN THE HABIT
OF EATING SOMEONE ELSE'S FOOD.
I'VE OFFERED YOU ANOTHER MEAL ON THE HOUSE.
DO YOU WANT IT OR NOT?
THAT'S THREE COMPLAINTS IN ONE DAY.
THE MAN WAS INSULTING.
DIFFICULT GUESTS COME WITH THE JOB, GUS. YOU KNOW THAT.
YES, SIR, I DO.
I KNOW YOU'VE HAD SOME DISAPPOINTMENTS IN
YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, AND I'M SORRY
FOR YOU -- BUT THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PERSONAL PROBLEMS
HERE AT THE WHITE SANDS.
IT'S NOT PROFESSIONAL.
THE CUSTOMERS COME FIRST.
IS THAT CLEAR?
VERY CLEAR.
GOOD.
YOU MAY RESUME YOUR DUTIES.
IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE?
MR. TREMAYNE, I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE FOR ME.
BUT I'VE COME TO REALIZE THAT WORKING AT A HOTEL
IS NOT THE WAY I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE.
I QUIT.
AH, YOU'LL GET OVER HER.
HO, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?
YOU'VE NEVER BEEN IN LOVE.
OH, OF COURSE I HAVE,
DOZENS OF TIMES, HA, HA.
[ KNOCKING ]
TURN IT AND PUSH. FELIX.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
PIERRE SAID YOU WERE FIRED.
I QUIT.
WHY?
I GUESS I HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH BOWING AND SCRAPING.
BUT YOU LOVE THE HOTEL.
NO, FELIX, YOU LOVE THE HOTEL.
FOR ME, IT WAS JUST A MEANS TO AN END.
I THOUGHT MY WORKING THERE WOULD MAKE FELICITY PROUD OF ME.
FELICITY.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU LIKE HER.
SHE'S VAIN, SELF-CENTRED, INCONSIDERATE--
FELIX,
THE SUBJECT'S NOT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.
OH.
YOU LEFT THESE BEHIND.
NEVER LIKED THOSE SHOES.
PINCHED MY FEET.
YOU TAKE THEM.
THEY'LL FIT YOU SOON ENOUGH.
BESIDES, I WON'T NEED THEM WHERE I'M GOING.
AYE.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
MATT'S OFFERED ME A JOB ON THE ANNIE-JANE.
WE SET SAIL NEXT WEEK.
YOU'RE LEAVING?
DON'T HAVE NO REASON TO STAY.
I PROPOSE A TOAST... TO OLD FRIENDS.
THIS HERE IS ARMAGNAC DIRECT FROM THE SOUTH OF FRANCE.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR JUST SUCH A SPECIAL OCCASION.
NO, NO.
HE'S TOO YOUNG.
I AM NOT.
WELL, BESIDES, IT'S A COLD NIGHT.
NEED SOMETHING TO WARM ME UP.
HA, HA, HE'S CERTAINLY
GOT A POINT THERE.
NO.
YOU'RE GOING TO DENY THE MAN A FAREWELL DRINK WITH HIS FRIEND?
COME ON, GUS, WHAT'S ONE LITTLE SWIG
OF BRANDY GOING TO DO TO ME?
WANT ME TO HELP YOU TO YOUR ROOM?
NO, I'LL JUST DIE
DOWN HERE IN PEACE.
STEPS.
[ GROANING ]
YOU WANT ME TO GET YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER UP?
NO, THANK YOU, I'M FINE.
GUS!
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
OH, HE WAS... JUST HELPING ME CELEBRATE.
YOU GOT HIM DRUNK?
HE'S JUST SICK.
AFRAID FELIX HAS A RATHER LOW TOLERANCE FOR ALCOHOL.
WHAT WERE YOU CELEBRATING?
MY FREEDOM.
FREEDOM FROM ME?
FROM MY JOB.
I QUIT.
GUS.
DID SOME THINKING.
I REALIZED I'M NOT CUT OUT FOR THE WORK.
I'M SORRY.
I'VE MADE SUCH A MESS OF THINGS.
OH, DON'T...
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.
NO.
I SHOULD NEVER HAVE OPENED MY TRAP ABOUT WOMEN DOCTORS.
YOU'LL MAKE A TERRIFIC DOCTOR.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.
THERE'S SO MUCH WORK INVOLVED.
IT'S SO LONG BEFORE I'M FINISHED.
AND EVEN WHEN I DO FINISH, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE
I'LL GET ANY PATIENTS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF WOMEN DOCTORS.
YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LET PEOPLE GET USED TO THE IDEA.
AND HOW LONG WILL THAT TAKE?
I DON'T KNOW.
IF IT'S WHAT YOU WANT...
I'M NOT SURE WHAT I WANT.
I KNOW I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
SO, YOU'RE GOING TO BE MARRIED.
RIGHT AWAY.
FELICITY.
CONGRATULATIONS, GUS.
YOU ARE A LUCKY MAN.
I AM.
BRAVO.
NOW, WHAT ABOUT MEDICAL SCHOOL?
WELL, I'VE DECIDED NOT TO GO.
OH?
IT'S NOT FOR ME.
I REALIZE THAT NOW.
BUT I'LL BE GOING TO TEACHER'S COLLEGE.
ABSOLUTELY.
WE'VE DECIDED WE'LL GET MARRIED NOW,
AND I'LL GO AWAY NEXT SPRING.
AND WHEN I GRADUATE, I'LL TRY AND GET
A TEACHING POSITION NEAR THE WHITE SANDS.
THIS CALLS FOR A TOAST.
OH, NO. FELIX?
IT'S JUST APPLE JUICE.
WELL, I GUESS THERE WERE EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES.
I WON'T LET YOU DOWN AGAIN, SIR.
OF COURSE WE WANT YOU BACK.
AND CONGRATULATIONS, GUS.
I WISH YOU AND FELICITY ALL THE BEST.
THANK YOU, SIR.
YOUR FATHER'S RETURNED.
HE'S BROUGHT THE FABRIC SAMPLES FOR THE BRIDESMAIDS' DRESSES.
THEY'RE DOWNSTAIRS.
I'LL LOOK AT THEM LATER.
IS ANYTHING THE MATTER?
NO.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
NOTHING.
IT LOOKED LIKE THE MEDICAL SCHOOL COURSE GUIDE TO ME.
WHAT DID DR. JONES SAY WHEN YOU TOLD HER?
GUS IS TAKING ME THERE TOMORROW.
DON'T WORRY.
IF YOU WANT TO, I THINK YOU WOULD MAKE AN EXCELLENT DOCTOR!
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN DANIEL WAS BORN? I FAINTED.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT A DOCTOR
THAT FAINTS AT THE SIGHT OF BLOOD?
IT'S A PRETTY SILLY IDEA.
OH, I DON'T THINK SO.
DID YOU HAVE ANY REGRETS ABOUT MARRYING FATHER?
NOT ONCE, NOT A BIT.
OF COURSE, THAT WAS ME.
I WAS IN LOVE, AND I WANTED TO BE A FARMER'S WIFE.
GUS IS A FINE YOUNG MAN.
I CAN THINK OF A DOZEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MARRY HIM.
BUT IF YOU'RE DOING IT BECAUSE YOU'RE AFRAID
OF TRYING TO BECOME A DOCTOR, IT'S THE WRONG REASON.
MISS STACEY, DID THE BOOK MY FATHER ORDERED COME IN?
YES, JUST THIS MORNING,
AS A MATTER OF FACT.
LET ME GET IT FOR YOU.
THANK GOODNESS IT'S HERE!
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO MY FATHER.
HE CAN'T TEACH THE CLASS TOMORROW WITHOUT IT.
THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT HE HAVE IT.
IT MIGHT BE RATHER DIFFICULT TO STUDY
INSECTS THIS TIME OF THE YEAR.
PICTURES, THAT'S WHY THE BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.
BYE, NOW.
BYE-BYE, IZZY.
IZZY, YOUR BOOK!
IZZY?
DR. JONES?
"DOCTOR AWAY ON HOUSE CALL AT ROBERT CLAYTON'S."
WE'VE MISSED HER.
DO YOU WANT TO WAIT?
ARE YOU DOCTOR JONES?
NO, SHE'S OUT, BUT I WORK WITH HER.
MY WIFE'S HAVING TROUBLE.
SHE'S BEEN IN LABOUR SINCE YESTERDAY.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE OTHER TIMES.
SHE SAID SHE BROUGHT ROBBIE HERE...FOR HIS ARM.
YES, OF COURSE, I REMEMBER THEM.
DR. HALLEY'S NOWHERE AROUND.
THIS FOOL WOMAN DOCTOR ISN'T HERE--
CALM DOWN, MR...
MACRAE, EZRA MACRAE.
WHERE DO YOU LIVE, MR. MACRAE?
DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT THREE MILES.
I'LL COME WITH YOU AND SEE WHAT I CAN
DO TO MAKE YOUR WIFE COMFORTABLE.
GUS, FIND DR. JONES AND BRING HER TO MR. MACRAE'S QUICKLY.
I'LL LEAVE A NOTE IN CASE YOU MISS HER.
TAKE IT EASY.
[ GROANING ]
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MRS. MACRAE. EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
IT WON'T COME. WHY WON'T IT COME?
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
I'M DOING EVERYTHING THAT I CAN.
MAKE YOURSELF USEFUL AND BOIL SOME MORE WATER, LOTS OF IT.
AND GET SOME CLEAN SHEETS, PLEASE.
OH, THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE HERE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, MRS. MACRAE.
HOW FAR APART ARE THE CONTRACTIONS?
I DON'T THINK THEY EVER STOP.
IT MAY BE A BREACH.
FELICITY, I'M GOING TO NEED YOUR HELP.
[ GROANING ]
TABLE LOOKS NICE.
I'M MAKING YOUR FAVOURITE.
MOTHER'S SPECIAL RICE.
IT'S ALMOST DONE.
WHAT WILL IT BE AFTER DINNER, CHECKERS OR PARCHEESI?
YOU DECIDE. I'LL GET THE CHECKERBOARD.
[ KNOCKING ]
OOH, IT'S COLD OUT HERE!
ARE YOU SURE SHE'S COMING?
JUST BE READY.
HELLO, IZZY.
WON'T YOU COME IN?
WHY, THANK YOU.
OH.
MY GOODNESS -- FATHER SAID I WOULD
FORGET MY OWN HEAD IF IT
WEREN'T ATTACHED TO MY NECK.
WELL, WHEN YOU DIDN'T COME BACK FOR IT,
I THOUGHT I'D BEST DROP IT OFF ON MY WAY HOME.
HOW NICE OF YOU.
MISS STACEY!
MR. PETTIBONE.
WON'T YOU STAY FOR DINNER? EVERYTHING'S ALREADY MADE.
THAT'S VERY KIND, BUT...
IZZY, MISS STACEY'S PROBABLY BUSY.
ANOTHER TIME PERHAPS.
NOW, YOU HAVE FUN IN CLASS WITH ALL THOSE INSECTS TOMORROW.
GOOD EVENING TO YOU BOTH.
GOOD EVENING.
I'M SURPRISED SHE'D REFER TO YOUR CLASSMATES AS INSECTS.
YOU MUSTN'T INVITE PEOPLE AT THE LAST MOMENT LIKE THAT, IZZY.
IT PUTS THEM ON THE SPOT.
[ KNOCKING ]
MISS STACEY, WHAT A SURPRISE!
I'M SO SORRY TO TROUBLE YOU, BUT...
WELL, I CAN'T START MY MOTORCAR.
THE CRANK MUST HAVE DROPPED OFF ON MY WAY OVER HERE.
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO STAY
FOR DINNER, RIGHT, FATHER?
NO, I'LL DRIVE MISS STACEY HOME IN OUR BUGGY.
WE'LL SEARCH FOR THE CRANK IN THE MORNING IN THE LIGHT
AND BRING IT OVER.
BUT THEN DINNER WILL BE RUINED.
PLEASE STAY FOR DINNER.
FATHER WILL DRIVE YOU HOME AFTER.
WHATEVER'S MOST CONVENIENT.
OH, MY, SOMETHING SMELLS GOOD.
I'LL SET ANOTHER PLACE.
IS THERE SOMEWHERE I CAN FRESHEN UP?
DOWN THE HALL, TO THE LEFT.
THIS IS YOUR DOING, ISN'T IT?
MINE?
YOURS. WHERE'S THE CRANK?
HOW SHOULD I KNOW? IZZY!
I DON'T HAVE IT. WHO DOES?
IZZY, WHO DOES?
DAVEY.
THEN I SUGGEST YOU GET IT.
BUT, FATHER--
NOW!
WHERE'S IZZY OFF TO?
UM, MISS STACEY...
I'M AFRAID MY DAUGHTER HAS, FOR WANT OF A BETTER PHRASE,
PLAYED MATCHMAKER.
HA, MATCHMAKER!
SHE SABOTAGED YOUR VEHICLE
SO YOU COULDN'T GET AWAY.
SHE'S ABOUT TO SET IT RIGHT.
I'M TERRIBLY EMBARRASSED.
I'M SURE YOU MUST BE AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS I AM.
WELL, PERHAPS, BUT I'M MORE CONCERNED
THAT YOUR DINNER MIGHT BE BURNING.
AH!
IS IT RUINED?
AH, I THINK NOT.
INDIAN RICE!
I THOUGHT I RECOGNIZED THE SCENT.
I HAVEN'T HAD ANY OF THIS SINCE I LEFT CALCUTTA.
YOU'VE BEEN TO INDIA?
OH, YES, OH, FASCINATING PLACE.
MY STARS, WOMAN!
I HAVEN'T MET ANYONE ELSE IN THIS AREA WHO'S BEEN THERE.
WITH WHOM DID YOU STAY?
WITH A GREAT MANY PEOPLE. I TRAVELLED ALL OVER.
ALL OVER! IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW
A COUNTRY, YOU HAVE TO EXPLORE ALL THE ROADS,
NOT JUST THE ONES MOST TRAVELLED.
MY OPINION EXACTLY.
THOSE TWO PROBABLY DON'T HAVE THE BRAINS THEY WERE BORN WITH.
WOMEN DOCTORS!
MR. MACRAE, YOU COULDN'T HAVE
BETTER HELP THAN YOU'VE GOT.
[ BABY CRYING ]
MEET YOUR NEW DAUGHTER, MR. MACRAE.
I UNDERSTAND IT'S YOUR FIRST.
OH!
LOOK AT HER.
SHE'S PERFECT.
ISN'T SHE JUST PERFECT?
SHE'S PERFECT.
OH!
IT WAS EASIER TO TAKE OFF THAN TO PUT BACK ON.
FATHER IS GOING TO KILL ME.
WELL, IT'S BEEN NICE KNOWING YOU.
MM-HMM, ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.
BUT...TELL ME, ISN'T THERE SOMETHING MISSING?
AHA, THE FAMOUS MISSING INGREDIENT!
LOOK HERE. WE CAN'T READ THAT.
MISS STACEY, I THINK
YOUR CAR IS READY.
SHE CAN'T LEAVE NOW, IZZY.
SIT DOWN AND HAVE SOME DINNER.
SAFFRON, THAT'S WHAT IT IS!
YOU THINK SO?
YES. LOOK, I'VE GOT SOME IN THE STORE.
WHY DON'T WE GO AND GET IT?
IT WILL ONLY TAKE FIVE MINUTES.
IZZY, YOU KEEP THE POT WARM
TILL WE GET BACK -- AFTER DINNER,
PERHAPS YOU'D BE UP FOR CHECKERS.
MY PLEASURE.
IT WORKED.
OH, GUS, I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT, EVER IN MY WHOLE LIFE.
WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
MRS. MACRAE WOULD HAVE DIED IF DR. JONES
HADN'T GOTTEN THERE IN TIME.
IT WAS SO INCREDIBLE TO WATCH HER WORK.
AND WHEN THAT LITTLE BABY TOOK ITS FIRST BREATH...
DID YOU HEAR IT CRY OUT?
AND THEN I WASHED HER OFF.
AND, OH, SHE WAS SO PERFECT!
I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE HOW EXCITING IT--
OH, MY GOSH, I FORGOT TO TELL DR. JONES
I'M NOT GOING TO MEDICAL SCHOOL.
WE'D BETTER TURN AROUND.
WELL, WE'RE MORE THAN HALFWAY HOME.
YOU CAN TELL HER TOMORROW.
[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]
OK?
GUS PIKE!
WHATEVER ARE YOU DOING HERE?
OH, I HAD SOME THINKING TO DO, AND THIS IS WHERE I DO IT BEST.
[ CHUCKLING ]
THAT'S FUNNY.
SO DO I.
I'M TRYING TO WRITE ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD...
ABOUT ATTENDING SCHOOL IN THIS VERY CLASSROOM.
AH, HA!
LOOK AT THAT.
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS.
I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THIS AND THINKING IT MAY AS WELL
HAVE BEEN WRITTEN IN GREEK, FOR ALL I UNDERSTOOD IT.
BUT YOU TAUGHT ME TO READ.
THIS ONE AND A HUNDRED MORE, BESIDES.
IT WAS YOU WHO DID THE WORK, GUS.
I MERELY SHOWED YOU THE WAY.
BEFORE I MET YOU, ALL I EVER WANTED
WAS A FULL BELLY AND A WARM PLACE TO SLEEP.
I HAD A FEW DREAMS,
BUT NO WAY TO MAKE THEM COME TRUE.
YOU MADE ME BELIEVE I COULD.
I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY DREAMS.
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE A VERY BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD OF YOU.
I'M NOT CUT OUT TO BE THE MANAGER OF A FANCY HOTEL.
OH, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO.
I DIDN'T SAY I COULDN'T DO IT.
I DON'T PARTICULARLY WANT TO.
MR. TREMAYNE,
HE DOES.
HE GETS THIS GLOW IN HIS EYE ANY TIME HE TALKS ABOUT IT.
MY FRIEND MATT,
HE GETS THAT LOOK TOO, WHEN HE THINKS ABOUT GOING BACK TO SEA.
AND YOU...
WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT TEACHING OR WRITING.
AND FELICITY...
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN HER THE OTHER NIGHT.
SHE WANTS TO BE A DOCTOR SOMETHING FIERCE.
YES, SHE HAS A PASSION.
I DON'T.
I'VE BEEN LIVING MY LIFE FOR FELICITY.
SHE'S THE REASON I WANTED A STEADY JOB
AT THE HOTEL IN THE FIRST PLACE...
SO I COULD PROVIDE FOR HER.
BUT THAT'S NOT HER DREAM.
MISS KING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ADVISE YOU.
WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU BOTH TO BE HAPPY.
I AM PROUD OF FELICITY FOR WHAT SHE WANTS TO DO.
AND I'M PROUD OF YOU, GUS PIKE, FOR HAVING COME SO FAR.
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS
SEARCH YOUR HEART...
AND CONSIDER YOUR CHOICES...CAREFULLY.
THANK YOU...
FOR EVERYTHING.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING LESS FANCY?
YES, OF COURSE.
FELICITY.
JUST A MINUTE.
IT'S IMPORTANT.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
COULDN'T YOU SEE I WAS WITH A CUSTOMER?
IT CAN'T WAIT.
THE COACH IS LEAVING.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING BACK TO SUMMERSIDE THIS AFTERNOON
TO TELL DR. JONES ABOUT OUR ENGAGEMENT.
FACE ME AND SAY YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A DOCTOR.
I WANT TO GET MARRIED.
THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THE WAY YOUR EYES SPARKLED THE OTHER NIGHT
WHEN YOU TALKED ABOUT DELIVERING THAT BABY.
IF WE GET MARRIED, AND YOU DON'T AT LEAST TRY TO BECOME A DOCTOR,
YOU'RE GOING TO END UP RESENTING ME.
NO, I WON'T.
I KNOW YOU TOO WELL, FELICITY.
YOU WILL.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GO AWAY?
MY FRIEND'S OFFERED ME BERTH ON BOARD HIS SHIP.
I'M GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME, FIND MY WAY IN THE WORLD.
BUT, GUS...
THE COACH IS LEAVING.
GOODBYE.
FELICITY, THIS IS EXACTLY THE WIDTH I WANTED.
BUT I NEED IT IN BLUE.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IN THE BACK?
FELICITY!
GUS?
WAIT, GUS.
HOLD ON!
PLEASE DON'T GO.
BEING A DOCTOR DOESN'T MEAN AS MUCH TO ME AS YOU DO.
I HAVE TO GO.
NO.
DON'T WORRY.
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME, FELICITY KING.
I GAVE THIS TO YOU BEFORE AS AN ENGAGEMENT RING.
AND YOU GAVE IT BACK.
I'M OFFERING IT TO YOU AGAIN.
THIS TIME...
NO STRINGS ATTACHED.
WHENEVER YOU'RE LONELY OR DISCOURAGED,
LOOK AT IT
AND REMEMBER...
I LOVE YOU, FELICITY.
I ALWAYS WILL.
I LOVE YOU.
