"...so there's no need for him
to be blue with rickets." Nancy!
:13:04
The important part's
on the last page. Look.
:13:06
It says the yellow house is vacant
:13:08
and Mr. Hamilton would be glad to rent
it to a deserving family like ours
:13:13
for a mere $60 a year.
:13:15
And he has the right to decide,
'cause he's not only the postmaster,
:13:19
but Mr. Hamilton's trusted friend,
his factotum, power attorney.
:13:23
- Slow down, Nancy.
- Oh, think of living in the country.
:13:26
No storage bills. All our things
will fit into the yellow house.
:13:29
We'll be self-supporting.
Chickens. Fresh eggs.
:13:33
Vegetables from the garden. Air. Space.
:13:36
Honest toil!
:13:41
- Can we, Mother? Can we?
- Oh, please, Mother.
:13:44
But, Mother,
my school's here and my friends.
:13:49
- Beulah's a hick town.
- Abraham Lincoln came from a hick town.
:13:54
Mother?
:13:56
Your father loved you so,
and he wanted so much for you.
:14:00
It was his dream to live in the country.
:14:02
So maybe he'd like to know we were
together in the yellow house in Beulah.
:14:07
Oh, Mother, I knew it, I knew it!
I wished it!
:14:11
Gilly, get to the piano.
Mother, sit down there.
:14:15
There. In anticipation of this glorious
decisión, I've written a glorification.
:14:21
But first, an introduction
straight from the Bible.
:14:23
Church chords, please, Gilly.
:14:27
Thou shalt no more be termed forsaken,
:14:30
neither shall thy land
any more be termed desolate,
:14:33
but it shall be called Beulah,
:14:35
for the Lord delighteth in thee. Amen.
:14:38
Right. Now, Railroad Rag.
:14:40
- What?
- You were just playing it.
:14:47
# Land of promise, bounteous
:14:52
# This is beautiful,
this is beautiful Beulah
:14:55
- # In the rocky state of Maine
- # Land of plenty
:14:58
# Meant for us
