:50:02
So did I, Lollie, darling.
:50:04
Things haven't been going
so good for poor Ed lately.

:50:07
You'd never know it
to hear him talk.

:50:10
You remember that big watch
and chain he used to wear?

:50:13
Well, they're just
not there anymore.

:50:16
I'm sorry.
:50:21
She's not here anymore.
I let her go.

:50:25
What did I need
with anybody around?

:50:27
Oh, Mother, you shouldn't have.
:50:29
Besides, I was glad to have something
to do to help pass the time away.

:50:33
You know what I did?
:50:35
I saved enough money out of her wages
for a deposit on a fur coat for you.

:50:40
Mother, you didn't.
:50:43
You're just going to
get it right back.

:50:45
I don't want a fur coat now.
:50:47
None of the girls at Mrs. Morrison's
are allowed to have them yet.

:50:50
Oh, no?
:50:55
Here.
:50:59
You know what I've been thinking?
:51:02
Would it cost too awfully much
for us to have a house...

:51:04
with our own front door
and a little garden and flowers...

:51:07
and a room for each of us?
:51:09
Just in case sometimes we wanted
somebody to stay all night.

:51:12
Mother, not a great big
expensive house like Mrs. Morrison's...

:51:16
but just a little tiny place.
:51:19
Say, tell me
about this Mrs. Morrison.

:51:22
- What's she like?
- Mother, she's lovely.

:51:25
She's sort of--
:51:28
Well, she reminds me
of a flower...

:51:31
that grows up in Maine.
:51:33
All pale and delicate,
but strong too.

:51:37
I don't know what you call it.
:51:39
I don't care what kind
of a flower she looks like.

:51:42
Is she tall or short,
dark or light, fat or thin?

:51:45
- How old is she?
- She's not any special age.

:51:49
She's like one of those goddesses
in my mythology book that way.

:51:55
Come now. You can tell
whether she's 20 or 40.

:51:59
Oh, she's not 40, no.
