:04:00
And thank you for being
so kind, Mrs....
Johnson.
:04:03
I'm Lora Meredith.
I've never been
so frightened in my life.
:04:07
One moment I had her,
and the next moment
she was gone.
:04:10
Thank Mrs. Johnson
for being so nice.
Thank you!
:04:13
And say good-bye
to the little girl.
Good-bye? Now?
:04:16
But, darling, we have
to go back to the city.
But we wanna play!
:04:19
Please?
Please, Mommy,
please!
:04:21
Oh, all right.
But only for a little while.
:04:24
Come on, Sarah Jane!
:04:27
You're it!
You're it!
:04:29
You're it!
You're it!
:04:34
Susie doesn't have many
children to play with
where we live.
:04:37
I guess Sarah Jane's
kind of lonesome too.
:04:41
They got along fine
right off.
:04:43
Sarah Jane's a lovely child.
How long have you
taken care of her?
:04:47
All her life.
:04:49
Oh, I wish I had someone
to look after Susie.
:04:52
A maid to live in?
Someone to take care
of your little girl?
:04:56
A strong, healthy,
settled-down woman...
:04:58
who eats like a bird
and doesn't care
if she gets no time off...
:05:01
and will work real cheap?
:05:03
Well, yes, if one exists.
Oh, someday.
:05:06
Why not today?
I'm available.
:05:09
You?
Me. Annie Johnson.
:05:12
You mean you'd
consider leaving that
lovely little girl?
:05:15
Oh, I wouldn't be leaving her.
My baby goes where I go.
:05:22
Sarah Jane
is your child?
:05:25
Yes, ma'am.
It surprises most people.
:05:28
Sarah Jane favors her daddy.
He was practically white.
:05:31
He left before she was born.
:05:34
Seems to me, Miss Meredith,
I'm just right for you.
:05:37
You wouldn't have to pay
no wages. Just let me come
and do for you.
:05:41
I couldn't do that.
I'd have to pay you,
and I... can't now.
:05:49
Susie!
:05:55
I ought to knock
your blocks off.
:05:58
I'll take care of it,
mister. I'll wham
the hides off both of them.
