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.
