The Bitter Tea of General Yen

:01:41

Well, if it isn't Amelia, our little
tower of strength from Tientsin.

:01:45

And Dr. Hansen. Shades
of Canton and Pearl River.

:01:48

Rain and refugees and shooting
all the way. My, what a country.

:01:52

Hello, Mrs. Blake.

:01:53

Hello, Mrs. Jackson.
Come in, Mr. Pettis.

:01:55

Haven't seen you since the gunboats
rescued us from General Yen.

:01:57

Yeah.
By the skin of our teeth, wasn't it?

:01:59

Close one, that, close one, that.
Step into the living room.

:02:02

Everybody in China is here.
Literally everybody.

:02:05

And no wonder. No missionary in
China would miss Dr. Strike's wedding.

:02:08

No, indeed. Step right in.

:02:17

Where is the bride
and groom?

:02:19

They're not here yet.

:02:20

What?
Oh, she's on her way

:02:22

from the ship
with my husband.

:02:23

Oh. And Bob?
Oh, Dr. Strike telephoned.

:02:26

He'll be busy working among the
refugees until the very last moment.

:02:28

He didn't even have time to
meet the boat. Imagine that.

:02:31

That's Robert Strike all over.

:02:32

And you say he hasn't
seen her in three years?

:02:35

No. They're supposed to be
childhood sweethearts.

:02:37

I can hardly wait
till I see them kiss.

:02:40

Amelia.

:02:43

Who is the bride, Mrs. Jackson?
Megan Davis.

:02:46

Finest old Puritan family
in New England, my dear.

:02:48

Her father's a big publisher.
Very old family.

:02:51

I hope Dr. Strike
isn't making a mistake.

:02:53

No. I hear she is young,
attractive, full of energy.

:02:57

She'll need it.
Yes.

:02:58

Dedicating her life to the
service of mankind in China.
