♪
I'm not trying to paint you into a corner, Felicity.
I just - Here, let me get that for you.
No thank you, I'll do it.
I was only wondering, well now that you are no longer
considering medical school as be part of the picture - have you
given any thought to exactly what it is you do want to do?
Well I have thought about it...
I just haven't come to any conclusions.
Well no one's rushing you.
No point running into anything pell mell.
You just take your time.
That's right, dear.
We have every confidence
that you'll find something that suits you...
sooner or later.
What in the world, Felix...
What is it dear?
What's the matter?
A telephone call - a long distance telephone call
came in at the General Store.
They're gonna call back in half an hour.
It's the Thornhill Sanitarium.
Cecily!
Oh dear Lord, no...
I could make some tea, if anyone ...
Janet..?
It's been more than half an hour.
Why don't they call?
She's so far away.
She's all by herself and she's so far away.
Avonlea General Store
Yes, operator, he's right here.
Alec. . .
Hello?
Yes, yes, this is he.
I see.
...Yes, I know what an X-ray is, doctor...
She what?
... that's wonderful!
She's coming home!
Are you sure that she's well enough, doctor?
...Alright, I'll be on the next train!
Thank you, doctor!
She's coming home!
You're here!
How are you, sweetheart?
Mother, I'm so much better now!
I honestly am!
Mind, Cecily.
We needn't over do it.
Good to see you, Mr. King.
Mrs. King, Dr. Sparrow would like to have a word with you.
These are your daughter's lungs.
You can see for yourself.
Completely clear.
Does this mean that she's cured?
It means that the disease is dormant, for now.
For now?
And with proper attention, it may stay that way.
Oh, you mean she's not really cured?
When you are ready, Mr. King,
I just have a few papers for you to sign.
Certainly.
Are you coming, Cecily?
My good luck charm.
The last girl to had this bed left it here when she went home.
Yes, poor Janey McCauley.
Well, she'll be glad to see it again.
What do you mean, again?
The child has suffered a relapse...
A relapse?
It need never happen to our Cecily.
Just be sure, my dear, to take adequate care.
Live each day to the fullest, yes - but pay heed to
Dr. Sparrow's instructions and do not over exert yourself.
Now don't you worry Mrs. Mccauley...
She'll settle down in no time.
Hello, Janey...
Mr. and Mrs. King, the car can take you to the station now.
Look after our Cecily.
I'm not coming back here.
I know it.
Hey there, sis!
For a minute there, I almost missed you!
Oh!
Same to you, you big lug.
All right, all right.
Let's get Cecily out of this damp cold,
before she gets a chill.
Yes, let's not be standing around in the snow.
We've got to get our girl home.
Cecily's cured is she?
Well the doctor says her lungs are clear...
let's hope they stay that way.
Yes.
Pray they do.
They're here!
Cecily!
It's so good to see you!
You don't know!
You look so wonderful, Cecily!
Why look at you, right as rain!
I feel fine.
I'm not a bit wheezy or anything.
Let's get these damp clothes off.
Daniel!
Hello, Digger!
No, Digger!
Cecily, Cecily don't let him lick your face, Come on, Cecily!
Get this damp coat off.
Oh, dear, welcome home.
You know, we've fixed all your favorites for supper.
You must be hungry.
Such a long trip and nothing but hospital food to fortify you.
Go on, sit down.
I don't think that's such a good idea, Hetty.
She's tired out from the trip.
Let's get you upstairs to bed.
I can stay down.
I'm not the least bit tired.
Not now.
We've worked like demons on supper.
Oh yes.
We've candied yams and scalloped potatoes...
You really should get upstairs and lie down.
Doctor's orders.
She should be allowed to stay down, if she's not feeling -
Felicity...
Cecily, you remember what the matron told you.
But the matron isn't here now.
I'm fine.
Cecily...
Please don't treat me like an invalid.
I am home now.
I want everything the way it was before I left.
Of course you do.
That's right.
Well, things aren't likely to be the same again.
Now come on.
That's right, off you go.
Off you go.
Felicity will bring you up a plate.
Fine.
Gus mailed this just after Christmas:
"In Jamaica, the sea is an impossible blue.
The days are like the most perfect days of summer
and at their ends, the sun sinks into changing colours
beyond my words to describe.
The days are shorter though, than our summer days of home
and my evenings feel so long.
Especially, when I think of..."
Oh well, you don't want to hear that part.
Sure, I do.
I suppose I should write to Gus to tell him about my decision
to not continue on with school.
I just don't know what to say.
Gus always understands everything.
Why should he?
No one else does.
Mother told us how you helped Dr. Snow
deliver the Pritchard baby.
That was too bad about poor Colleen.
It's so terrible to see someone your own age...
I know.
But you saved the baby.
Mother told us she was so proud of you.
Really?
Tell me about Colleen's baby.
Oh!
You should see her!
She's got Colleen's big eyes and these chubby little cheeks!
I told her husband Seth that I would stop by every now
and then to see how he is doing on his own.
It's the least I can do.
Alright, you two!
Cecily you'll have to climb out.
Felicity, can you help me strip her bed?
What for?
Father told me to take it apart.
We're moving you to the summer kitchen.
The summer kitchen, at this time of year?
She'll freeze.
We slept in plenty or cold air at the sanitarium.
You just have to wear a hat and plenty of covers.
But do you really think that's necessary at this stage?
Orders from the doctor.
You're to keep up the sanitarium regime:
healthy food, exercise and plenty of cold fresh air:
If you wanna argue to Mother, it's up to you...
A good scotch broth.
This will build Cecily up.
It wants more barley, Janet.
Something to stick to a lassie's ribs,
and some more onions to cut the congestion.
Onion for congestion?
What's next?
Eye of newt?
We'll thank the peanut gallery to keep their helpful
comments to themselves.
A proper diet is very important to good health,
but the curative value of an onion?
What Cecily needs is to be allowed to...
What Cecily needs is good healthy food and plenty of it -
thank you, we know.
I didn't mean to criticise.
Cecily dear, where are you going?
Just to the barn.
Well, dear, we've decided you need a few days of routine.
I just want to see my horses - with me being away,
there's no one there to spoil them.
I'm just going to give them something...
No, dear.
It's a well known fact, that tuberculosis
can be carried by cattle.
Oh, Mother!
It's not the same type that Cecily contracted...
How could you know that for certain?
I don't want her going out there!
I'm sorry dear, but your father doesn't want
you going near the barn.
That's my final word on it.
We're only thinking of your own good.
For pitysake, Mother. . .
There's no need to get so emotional.
Felicity...
I would appreciate it if you would keep your opinions on
medicine to yourself and let me nurse Cecily the way I know how!
You're going to have to indulge your parents, I'm afraid, dear.
They've been terribly worried about you.
And feeling a little more than guilty.
Guilty about what?
For ever having to send you away.
Even though it was the only place for you to get well.
I tell you what.
You sit here by this window, and your old aunt will go out
and lure your horses out into the paddock,
where you can see them and wave.
And I'm going to give them the whole bunch of carrots
and tell them each one was from Cecily.
Don't fret Aunt Eliza.
Oh, I won't fret.
Felix will give me a hand.
Seth Richard, where is your coat?
Just dashed out fog a few minutes
while the wee one is down.
Is she much of a handful?
I try to get a few things done while she's asleep. . .
Lord love us, there she blows...
You finish up here.
I'll see to her.
Now Felicity. .
Not a bit of it - I've been dying to see her
for a couple of weeks.
You really remind of your mother.
Do you know that, Alice?
Well, you do.
You're going to be a pretty, pretty girl: . .
Just like your dear mama.
She okay?
Nothing a bottle couldn't cure.
I appreciate the hand.
Oh - any time.
Seth, what are your plans now?
Don't you have to return to the railroad to keep your job?
My eldest sister, Edna, never married.
She's been working up in Ontario - and she's happy
to get out of there, come back home.
Edna will take good care of her.
Well when is she coming?
She has to quit and pack up.
A couple of weeks, maybe.
Hopefully, I can stall things at the railroad office until then.
I'm getting anxious I might lose my job.
Seth, this is foolishness.
I'm sure that Mother wouldn't mind
if we were to take the baby.
Take her?
Until Edna comes.
I hear from Mrs. MacDougall
your sister's back from the sanitarium.
I know your mother's got her hands full with her.
Cecily is fine.
Mother's just being overly cautious.
It's real generous of you, Felicity, but - we'll be fine.
Edna won't be a more than a week.
Seth, whatever you decide.
Just know that I do want to help.
I'11 just tuck you in...
snug as I can...
Is this..?
Is this alright?
Do you need another comforter?
I just feel so foolish leaving you out here?
But really, it's no different from the sanitarium.
I'm used to sleeping in the cold.
If it keeps you strong and well.
Good night, dear.
Sleep tight.
I'm off to bed.
You coming up?
I'm right on your heels, my dear.
What the deuce. . . ?
Sure missed you fella...
Cecily!
Where is your head, girl?
Weren't you told to stay out of this barn?
I had to see theme Please, Dad, I'm fine.
But we promised Dr. Sparrow
that we would follow the hospital regimen.
I've been in bed all day, Dad.
I can't stay in bed my whole life. . .
Do you want to go back to that sanitarium?
I'11 never go back there.
I'm not going to get sick again.
I just want to be normal like everyone else. . .
That's all I want.
Well somebody looks awfully happy to get a letter -
I wonder who it could be from?
Gus!
Mailed from Charleston, South Carolina.
He's on a ship called the Maid of Calais, that's put in there
for boiler repairs -- but he thinks they'll be
on their way by the end of the month.
They're headed north -- he desperately wants to come home!
He's promised this time...
That's marvelous!
I think I'll leave the rest for later.
God bless The Maid of Calais!
Well that's just grand news.
What's this now?
Did you see the switchboard?
Avonlea's going to have a telephone exchange.
There's Felicity King.
Poor Janet.
What a disappointment.
And to add to their worries, I hear that Cecily's health
is still a cause for concern.
You never know with an illness like the consumption.
Well, Felicity.
I hear you turned your back on medical school,
but I thought, no!
It's not like a King to be a quitter.
I am not a quitter, Mrs.potts.
I just . . .
I wouldn't have thought so, but we all bite off more
than we can chew at one time or another, don't we?
Sadder but wiser, you know that now, dear.
Now Clara, you know Felicity could do anything
she turned her mind, too.
Oh, my dear, there is no doubt.
She'll make her mark, someday, just like my Sally.
Sally?
My dear.
Haven't you heard?
Sally's to be Avonlea's first telephone operator!
They sent her over to Carmody to train.
In two months, she was running the place.
We knew she was destined for great things -
but a telephone operations manager!
We never dreamed!
Well we must congratulate her.
Well Mr. Cain, this is excitement.
Avonlea is on the change - we're entering the modern age.
There are more subscribers now than they can handle through
the exchange at Carmody.
I've managed to rent them the office above the bank.
Are there many telephones in Avonlea?
There soon will be, Miss King...
Come along, gentlemen.
Why Felicity!
What a shame your plan for medical school
is all down the drain.
Now that I've a taste of success in business I know how much I'd
hate to be at home, the live long day a-twiddling my thumbs.
Thank you, Sally - I'm not a- twiddle, yet.
... interior of the machine.
There you go, gentlemen.
If you're interested, Felicity, I will be handing out
applications at the General store this Thursday
for operator positions.
It's quite technically demanding, and might scare some
off, but I believe I could teach anybody.
Toodle -loo.
I've brought you some good hot broth to warm your insides.
I don't want it.
Oh, come on, Cecily, I don't want to argue.
I know you want to get better.
I am!
Al1 I wanted to do was get better, to I could come home!
Let me come inside, Mother!
Dear, we came so close to losing you.
We don't want to risk it again.
I've made Cecily lie down upstairs before lunch.
Anything I can do to help around here?
Well you could sort that laundry on the kitchen table for me.
I was planning to get an earlier start but that diet Dr. Sparrow
prescribed for Cecily takes a little more preparation each day
than I'm used to.
I don't understand why they told us she's well when she's not
really cured and we have to treat her as though she was ill.
I suppose our expectations were too high.
Oh, Alec, she's so unhappy...
we can't ask her to go on with these treatments indefinitely.
We can and we will if that's what it takes.
We've got to stand together on this, Janet,
if we want our daughter to stay well.
I've got a few things to do out in the yard.
Ah, Mother, I can get the sheets from upstairs for you.
Fine.
Wait.
I know you've been annoyed with me lately.
But please, can we talk for a moment?
Not now, Felicity.
There's something I need to tell you...
I don't want to listen to anyone else's problems
right now, please!
Mother, Gus is on his way home.
He's on a ship called the Maid of Calais
that should be in by the month's end.
Oh?
I have thought a lot lately about getting a permanent job...
I just really feel that I want to wait and speak to him
before I make any decisions.
I see.
I know you don't agree with my decision...
to forego medical school.
Felicity, you have so much ahead of you...
I've always been very happy, married to your father
and raising you children.
It's all I ever really wanted to do.
Sometimes I get so frustrated not being able
to help you better.
You've been to school, you know what you're capable of.
Your father and I always wanted the best for you.
Whatever you decide to do.
We'll always support you, one hundred percent - sweetheart.
Thank you.
Good patient!
Ten more!
Ten, nine. . .
Oh forget it!
Maybe you've had enough exercise for one day.
Alright.
What's next?
More fresh air?
For pity's sake!
I'd get plenty of fresh air and exercise if people would
let me behave as though I wasn't in a Sanitarium anymore.
Alright .
Then let's get some fresh air.
Are you warm enough?
I'm fine, Felix, really.
It's so wonderful just to be outside for a while
without Mother and Father watching my every move.
They're just concerned about you.
I know.
I'd give anything to spend the whole day like this...
Mrs. Pettibone!
Cecily King!
How delightedly And looking so robust and so well!
I think I am.
I'm feeling all better.
I am so glad!
When do you think you might be getting back to school?
Soon, I hope!
Maybe Monday.
That Janet King and her girls!
What is she thinking of?
Letting that sickly one out and about in public!
I tell you, if the Kings let that consumptive child
back in the school house - I am pulling my children out.
Archie Gillis, Phoebe MacDougall.
My, I never thought I'd see the day the School Board
to be out and about this early.
The Board met for an emergency meeting last night.
We were notified by an upset parent.
Upset parents really?
I have taught in this schoolhouse
for a good many years, with ne'ery a complaint before.
Not a complaint Hetty, just a concern and it is not about you.
It's about your niece, Cecily.
Cecily?
Rumour has it that Alec and Janet King
may try to enroll her this term.
When the consumption first took her down,
it was an awful close call for the school.
Naturally, people are nervous.
A good many think the girl was brought home too soon.
They just don't want their children exposed.
I am not acquainted exactly with Janet and Alan's plans
for Cecil, but I will say I'm fairly confident
that the child is no longer infectious.
Fairly confident, Hetty?
Yes.
Just how close is that to absolutely certain?
I want to go to school.
Look at me!
I haven't coughed in two months.
I want to see my friends and start my school work again.
It's been a whole year.
It's true.
She hasn't been coughing.
Oh, Alec, I think it would be foolish to push too soon.
We just can't risk a relapse.
Think of that Janey McCauley child.
There is something worse than the cough tearing at my lungs.
Worse than the wheezing - the fighting to get air.
The worst thing is being treated like it's my fault.
Like it's something I've done on purpose,
that I'm trying to give to others.
Cecily, nobody thinks that.
This isn't an attack on you.
It's only natural that people would be concerned.
They just don't understand.
They would rather me stay shut up in the hospital
where they'd never have to face me.
I want to get on with my life.
Of course you do, dear.
No one expects this bout of illness
to set you back indefinitely.
It's just that -
Tell you what, I could tutor Cecily in the evenings.
Then when people get used to her being home and see her
up and about and well, then she can enroll in school next fall.
Next fall?
Hetty, you've got Rachel and the children to tend to...
Rachel will be fine.
As for Davey and Dora, I'm training them to be independent.
I'll be working with Felix anyway, so the more the merrier.
Round and round the rugged rock, the ragged rascal ran...
Excellent.
Excellent, Rachel.
Much improved.
Carry on.
I am getting... better.
You certainly are, Mrs. Lynde.
I wish I could say the same thing.
Davey!
Oh no!
Now look what you did!
Me!
Good grief! Davey? Dora?
What's going on up there?
I'll check on them.
No, stay with your algebra, Cecily.
And you with your essay, Felix.
I will go.
Yes, yes.
Mrs. Lynde will see to them.
You don't want me near them?
Don't be silly.
They are out there, so they don't disturb us.
At least, you don't keep children away from her!
Cecily...
Now, Cecily, please...
Why didn't mother and father just leave me in the Sanitarium?
Cecily!
Cecily, what're you doing?
I'm just going to curry him.
Father will have a fit if he catches you in the barn again.
I don't care.
Fine.
If you want to get in trouble, go right ahead.
Cecily!
Cecily, are you alight? !
Quiet.
Don't try to talk.
You're lucky your parents are still in town seeing about
getting that blasted telephone.
They would be beside themselves if they knew what you'd done.
It's normal.
There's no fever.
Thank heavens.
Why would you do something so dangerous, child?
Yeah, I thought you broke your neck.
I just wanted to be free for a little while.
I feel more like a prisoner up my own home
than I did at the sanitarium.
No wonder everybody thinks I'm still contagious
with my whole family treating me like I am.
We're just concerned about you, that's all.
Cecily, you're just going to have to be patient
for a little while...
You're a fine one to talk.
The whole town's not forcing you to stay cooped up at home.
You can do whatever you want but you'd rather sulk around
the house because you don't know what to do with your life.
Cecily!
You don't have to take it out on me.
I fully intend to go out and do something.
But right now, I'm going to make sure that you stay put
and behave until Mother and Father get home.
Now sit up.
Eat.
The successful candidates will know that being a telephone
operator is more than a job.
It is the Telephone operator who summons the midwife when
new life is about to enter this world, it is she who rouses the
fire brigade when disaster looms, and dispatches
the constable when evil lurks.
Hers is a lonely obligation, but deeply rewarding.
Now, who has leadership, commitment
and a selflessness of spirit?
Who is free of entanglements and able to work shifts?
Who is willing to work for $25 a month?
You don't really want to be a telephone operator do you,
Miss King?
Well I thought I might fill in the form
and just see what it's all about.
But you're not interested in doing shift work
for $25 a month?
If you're looking for serious employment
I may have something in my office.
Thank you.
I'll keep that in mind.
I thought I'd see you here, Miss King.
I imagine you'll want to fill out one of these.
Won't you?
Sally - somehow, I don't think a career
with the Telephone Company is the thing for me.
I've had several other offers.
Thank you Mr. Cain.
You mean you don't want to fill out a form?
Sally, in my heart, I just know that I could never be
as good an operator as you.
I'm not an operator!
I'm a supervisor!
What malarkey.
Nobody quits medical school for no good reason.
Felicities too stuck up to admit, she failed.
On every test she got nothing but big fat goose eggs.
Al1 she's doing is sitting on her duff waiting for a sailor
to come home from sea.
I recognise your voice, Sally Potts!
Who else is on this line?
Sometimes I just can't stand Avonlea!
Felicity.
There you are.
I've got Montgomery downstairs.
Would you mind looking after him for about an hour?
Are you all right?
I just feel that nobody understands
what I'm going through.
At least when Gus comes home,
I know that I'll be able to think things through properly.
Well, you know how fond we all are of Gus, but you must know
he may not be the solution to all that's bothering you.
I know.
I just feel that he knows me so well.
He always makes me be honest with myself.
Well I think that is what is meant by a soulmate.
You know, it's not very often that two of those find
each other in this world.
Aunt Olivia, I just feel like
everyone has such high expectations of me.
All Gus ever wanted was for me to be happy.
And I know that if we can have a life together;
I know that I can find my purpose in life.
You have a lot to give...
You're lucky to have Gus Pike.
And he is blessed lucky to have you.
You know, I also need just a few feet more of this green yarn.
I ran out three rows short of finishing Jasper's sweater.
I am sorry, Olivia, I don't have a single skein
of this green left anywhere.
But you know, I've got a basket of odds and sods under
the table, just help yourself to anything you right find useful.
Oh, thank you.
I told Hetty King straight to her face.
We don't pay good taxes to have the likes of Cecily King
threatening our children.
Good for you!
I'll have to trim it with another colour, Muriel.
I'm sure I have something at home.
Good day!
It doesn't matter a wit what Olivia Dale thinks of me -
I won't have that Cecily around my children.
Why my cousin in Summerside heard from her Aunt about
a neighbour girl that was released from a sanitarium.
She was stone dead within the month.
Cecily King with the galloping consumption?
Wellt you know what worries me?
The Kings has now got the telephone.
Can you imagine her breathing her germs
into the telephone line?
I cannot believe what I have just heard.
In the first place, germs cannot be carried on telephone lines.
You're so convinced, are you?
Of that, I am certain.
But beyond that, TB is not so easily contracted -
even if Cecily were contagious.
Which, I am certain, she is not.
Otherwise the sanitarium would never have released her.
There comes a point when the greatest obstacle to wellness
is the fear of others.
Merciful providence, Cecily is well.
Let's treat her as if she is.
Well?
Her own parents have her sleeping out in the summer
kitchen in the dead of winter.
If they won't have her into their house,
why should anyone else?
Cecily, what do you think of this coat?
Beautiful.
I love that colour.
So do 1.
Which is why I bought the darned thing
at a sale in Charlottetown.
But it doesn't really suit me.
So I thought you might like to try it on.
Me?
Really?
Sure.
It's so sophisticated.
But you're old enough to wear this style now.
Where would I wear a coat like this?
Oh, you'll have plenty of opportunities
once you're out and about.
I can't go out.
Not even to school.
Maybe you should keep it.
Aw, Cecily.
What's the point of having something
there just to remind me that...
that I'm an outcast.
What's the matter?
What happened?
Oh dear, the last thing I wanted to do is interfere, but ...
You're both reasonably satisfied that Cecliy's
disease is dormant, aren't you?
Yes.
And we hope that that way, with proper attention.
You both know what you are doing, of course,
it's just, I'm just concerned
that Cecily seems so desperately forlorn.
You know they always say it's mind over matter.
Children her age always think they are going to live forever -
no matter what.
But Alec, don't you see, Cecily is a sensible girl.
Try to imagine what she went through this past year
at the Sanitarium.
Just imagine how often she hoped and longed to be home
with all of us.
You don't want to squash every bit of enthusiasm
the poor child has for being alive.
No, but she still needs to be protected from...
I know how much both of you are concerned about her.
But being miserable is the most unhealthy state of mind
for a girl with Cecily's condition.
Well, it was never my intention to make my child miserable.
Just don't let your concern for her get in the way of her
getting back on track as soon as she might.
There you go.
What are you doing?
Well we're moving you back inside.
It's time.
We might as well give it a try.
I suppose, if we want people to treat you like you're well,
we better begin at home.
I must be dreaming.
You are very much awake, my dear.
And fortunately, some others around here
have woken up as well.
It's time we got things back to normal.
Your father and I are talking to the school board,
getting you back into school.
And your brother will be very happy to be relieved
of some of his chores.
What do you say?
I say it's grand!
It's hard to imagine looking at her that Cecily King
fell to the consumption.
You know the doctor from that fancy sanitarium sent a letter
and certificate attesting to her recovery and verifying that she
is no longer a danger to others.
Well, she looks the picture of health to me.
Sorry I haven't been to see you.
Oh it's all right.
So I guess you'll be back at school soon?
I hope so.
Oh it's worked but well, though.
Being tutored privately means you can catch up
on everything you've missed.
Actually having Aunt Hetty for a tutor is like medieval torture.
Felicity!
I hate to take advantage of our friendship...
Seth, not at all.
You know I love to take care of her whenever it is necessary.
It'll be no more than that.
Edna will be here next week for sure.
If I don't get back I lose my job.
You don't need to explain.
Well, I do, sort of.
When you mentioned taking her for me before - I have to say,
I was worried about her being around your sister.
Cecily is fine.
I know, that's what everybody's saying.
I was just...
Cautious.
I understand.
We'll take very good care of her.
I'll bring her by tomorrow then, that's all right.
That's fine.
Felicity!
I tried to ring your place but there was no answer.
Oh Felicity!
What's wrong?
Sally, for heavens sake!
What is it?
A call just came through for you - it was from Captain Ezekiel
Crane - he's called from Boston.
The maid of Calais apparently went down in that heavy storm
we read about in the paper.
All hands were lost.
Gus was drowned.
I'm sorry.
I'm so, so sorry.
You're lying.
What a hateful twisted, mean - spirited gag to play
with your stupid telephone exchange.
I would never lie about anything like this.
Captain Crane hasn't been heard from for years.
You're lying!
Felicity come back!
Come back!
I don't think I can bear much more of this, A1ec...
it's been over a week
and she hasn't said more than two words to anyone...
I'll see what I can do.
Felicity, you can't go on like this, girl.
You'll make yourself ill.
Your Aunt Hetty wants to plan a memorial for Gus
with just the family and a few of his friends from the hotel.
It's time.
Don't you think?
If you really cared about what I think,
you wouldn't suggest such a thing to me...
But you've got to face...
If Gus were dead, I'd know it.
Mother?
Mother, can you watch the baby for me, please?
Yes, dear, I suppose so...
but...
Felicity, where are going?
Felicity?
Gus...
Felicity? !
Felicity, what are you doing out here?
Come home.
We've been looking everywhere for you.
Mother and Father are frightened...
I'm fine.
I just need to be left alone for a while...
please...
