Denham?
:35:02
Yes, he asked me to marry him
between hymns.

:35:06
I think we were 11 at the time.
:35:09
Now, Hank, that was a different thing.
He didn't ask me. He told me.

:35:12
We were out clamming one night,
and he said to me:

:35:14
"We're getting married tomorrow,
and I've arranged everything."

:35:17
- I was so mad, I hit him with a clam.
- Why should you be mad?

:35:20
Well, I wanted an engagement ring.
So he arranged that, too.

:35:24
Took the car keys off the key ring,
put the key ring on my finger, and said:

:35:28
"Okay, now you're engaged."
:35:31
Hank's the one we couldn't find
when we played run-sheep-run.

:35:34
Where did he hide?
:35:36
Here. Right under there.
:35:40
- Hi, Mr. Lowe.
- Hi, Janey, good fishing today.

:35:43
Good.
:35:53
"Who here rests in eternal peace...
:35:55
"was born here and left his family to fight
for freedom in the war of the Revolution...

:35:59
"and who returned and died here.
July 14, 1792."

:36:04
Thank you, Mr. Boyd.
:36:07
- How about the town hall? Like to see it?
- All right.

:36:10
It's right over here.
:36:16
Hi, Mr. Lowe.
:36:18
She was here, George. Nice-looking fellow.
:36:28
- Wanna see where you are right now?
- Yeah.

:36:33
That's Cape Anne, and that's the town hall,
right there.

:36:38
Did you know Cape Anne
is one of the few places left in America...

:36:41
or in the whole world, for that matter...
:36:43
where every person still votes
on every single thing? Did you know that?

:36:46
- No, I didn't know that.
- Well, it is.

:36:48
Once a year,
we all come here to the town meeting.

:36:51
By the way, next Thursday at 4:00...
:36:54
the whole place will be filled with every
man, woman and child in Cape Anne.

:36:57
Of course, the kids don't vote,
but boy, they listen and they learn.
