1:03:16
Why don't you call her, darling,
and see if she can come?
1:03:19
The operator says they don't take
any phone calls before noon.
1:03:23
What about the gifts?
1:03:25
They gave them to her last night
so they could sleep late.
1:03:28
The sort of thoughtfulness that never
would have occurred to Mr Dickens.
1:03:32
- We'll set a place for her just in case.
- They'll never let her out today.
1:03:38
- Hello.
- This is Isabel Boyd.
1:03:41
- Good morning, Mrs Boyd.
- Can I talk to Val, Mom? Can I?
1:03:45
- May I speak to Valerie, please?
- Valerie's not here.
1:03:50
- Are you sure?
- Just a minute.
1:03:53
Mrs Boyd's looking for Valerie.
Any idea where she might be?
1:03:56
I'll bet she's run away.
1:03:59
No, we haven't heard
from her this morning.
1:04:01
You know, Mrs Gilbert, if Valerie is there,
it would be a mistake to cover up for her.
1:04:07
I've told you, she's not here, Mrs Boyd.
1:04:10
- I'll bet she comes here.
- I hope so.
1:04:13
But she'll have to call her mother
at once, you know.
1:04:16
Sure.
1:04:17
- I mean it, the minute she gets here.
- I understand.
1:04:24
What a dreadful woman.
1:04:27
I'm sure she's there
and that woman is lying about it.
1:04:30
I'm afraid I don't think
you handled the situation very well, Is.
1:04:34
- You didn't see the book.
- No, but...
1:04:37
Don't all young girls begin
to dream about romance at that age?
1:04:40
- If she confined it to dreaming.
- That's ridiculous.
1:04:45
You mean trapping Joe Daniels
into a date is only dreaming?
1:04:48
I think the less said
about Joe Daniels the better.
1:04:52
What's that supposed to mean?
1:04:55
If we don't hear anything by noon,
I'm gonna call the police.
1:04:59
This is something new, such concern
for a child you don't even think is yours.
