:58:00
Did he get my letter
about the improvements?
:58:02
Oh, yes, sir. Yes, sir.
:58:04
I put yours in with the one I wrote him
about that time.
:58:07
He was so darned overjoyed about
what you were doing to the old house,
:58:11
you know, adding to its value,
:58:14
that he wouldn't even consider
taking any rent money.
:58:17
No rent money?!
:58:21
- Mother! Won't that make a difference?
- We can't accept it.
:58:25
- Mr. Hamilton is very...
- Hold your horses there, Mrs. Carey.
:58:29
He wants a favor in return.
:58:31
- A favor? From us?
- Yes.
:58:33
He wants you to find a suitable place
for his dear mother's picture.
:58:39
- His mother's picture?
- Of course!
:58:42
Dear old soul. Portrait of a lady.
:58:45
- Where is she, Osh?
- Well... well, he hid her.
:58:49
He hid her away some place safe.
:58:51
He wrote it down real clear,
but it's just gone right out of my head.
:58:55
If you'll bring the letter, we'll follow
the instructions to the last detail.
:58:58
- She'll have a place of honor.
- That's the idea.
:59:01
He wrote something about a simple
little vase of flowers. On her birthday.
:59:06
Of course. Her birthday. When is it?
:59:08
Well, he...
:59:10
Well, it seems like he said
it was along the fall of the year.
:59:14
- Halloween.
- Halloween?
:59:18
- People are born on Halloween.
- It works out perfectly, Mother.
:59:22
It'll tie in with our housewarming.
We could have a ceremony.
:59:25
You know, candles, a simple bouquet,
her lovely painting above.
:59:29
- Probably by Sargent. Maybe Whistler.
- Sounds too good to be true.
:59:33
There's Gilly now.
:59:36
You see, Mother?
We were fated to live here!
:59:47
- Mariah, I was uh...
- Don't try to stop me, Mr. Popham.
:59:50
Well, of course not.
You making a social call?
:59:54
I ain't feeling social, Mr. Popham.
:59:57
I'm here to talk gospel truth
to Mrs. Carey.
