:18:07
Mother, I've got a surprise for you.
:18:11
Lassie's come home.
:18:36
I was coming out of school...
:18:37
and there she was,
waiting for me right where she always is.
:18:40
- I could see she was lonely for all of us...
- No.
:18:44
But, Mother, she's come home.
:18:46
- We could hide her. We could say...
- No!
:18:49
Now get her out of here.
:18:51
Before you know it, we'll have that Hynes
around here, that know-it-all Hynes.
:19:05
Father, you might at least
say something to her.
:19:08
It isn't her fault that she's happy
to be home. Just pat her.
:19:14
You know, happen they don't know
how to care for her right up at the kennels.
:19:18
I wonder if they understand
how to feed her properly.
:19:21
The men in this village
think more of their tykes...
:19:24
than they do of their own flesh and blood.
:19:26
But truly, Mother, she does look thin.
:19:29
I do believe they're not feeding her right.
:19:32
I wouldn't put it past
that Mr. Know-it-all Hynes...
:19:35
to steal the best part of the dog meat
for himself.
:19:40
By gum, she does look a bit poorly.
:19:44
I better get her a little something.
:19:47
She could do with it, or I don't know dogs.
:19:54
But the minute she's fed, back she goes.
