Well, ah, well is settled then,
and good day to you, Mrs. Nolan.

1:36:07
And thank you again, Mr. McGarrity.
Francie?

1:36:11
Yes, Mama?
1:36:15
l'm glad you can keep on with your
school.

1:36:17
l was hoping something like this
would happen but l didn't want to

1:36:21
say anything until the time come.
1:36:25
But your Papa and l talked it all
over and there were reasons

1:36:29
and there just wasn't any other way.
1:36:34
lt doesn't matter. Papa saved one
from it.

1:36:54
Hi-ya, kid.
1:36:55
Well, they're sure taking chances l
wouldn't, leaving you handling meat.

1:36:58
Where's France.
1:36:59
Hello, kid. How are you lamb? Look,
you gotta do something for me.

1:37:05
This was in the paper and l cut it
out.

1:37:07
You got to read it to me.
Whas the matter, hon?

1:37:11
Nothing, l'm all right, Aunt Sissy.
1:37:13
No, you ain't. You ain't been since...
1:37:14
Look, don't you think you better
spill it to your Aunt Sissy?

1:37:17
What is it you want me to read to
you, Aunt Sissy?

1:37:19
Well, we'll get that out of the way
first. Look, here it is.

1:37:22
Likely you don't remember him, but
is my last husband, Bill.

1:37:25
The one l thought was dead,
but he ain't.

1:37:26
He's got his picture in there and l
want to know what it says.

1:37:28
Maybe it says where he lives so's l
can write to him about getting a

1:37:31
divorce or something.
1:37:32
l got the best husband in all the
world now,

1:37:34
and l don't want this here one
bobbing up and making no trouble.

1:37:36
He's a fireman someplace. l can tell
that from his clothes.

1:37:38
He was just starting out in the
fireman business...

1:37:40
lt says he's a hero. He saved some
people in a fire.

1:37:42
Does it say where?
1:37:43
The ninth precinct. Manhattan.
1:37:46
Manhattan, huh? Couldn't make the
grade in Brooklyn, l guess.

1:37:49
l want you to write to him, Francie.
Write this: "Dear Bill...

1:37:52
This says his name is Roland Polasky.
1:37:54
Thas right. l remember. Make it
