First Love Page #7

Flowers in bloom

banish the gloom

This is play time

Joy fills the air

in May time

[Cadenzas]

And my heart

is so light

And gay

Spring in my heart

Is forever

and ever to be

And I'll sing

to the birds

As they sing to me

[Cadenzas]

Spring in my heart

Will forever more

be part of

My heart

Ahhh

Spring in my heart

Is forever more

and ever to be

And I'll sing

to the birds

As they sing to me

[Cadenzas]

Springtime and I

will never part

Spring is in my heart

[Cadenzas]

Every day I feel Spring

In my heart

In my heart

Bravo, signorina, bravo!

Bravo!

Bravo, signorina, bravo!

[Indistinct Chatter]

Sensational!

My dear young lady,

that was a real treat.

I want to thank you for it.

You're welcome.

I like to sing.

Gerald! This young girl

has a great voice.

I thought you'd

like her, Mr. Drake.

You were splendid.

Oh, are you...

Yes, I'm Ted's father.

I'm going to tell that

young man something for not

bringing you around sooner.

Where is that boy?

Ted!

Right over there.

Wasn't that great?

Glad you liked it.

I was telling this young lady

I was disappointed in you

keeping her hidden this long.

This long?

I didn't even know that...

Now, now, son.

I know I'm old, but there's

nothing wrong with my eyes.

And I can tell

by looking at you two

that you're real old friends.

Mr. Drake...

Would you like to dance?

You hear that, Bevans?

Would she like to? What's the

matter with you young fellas?

She'd love to dance.

Yes, I would.

Lovely young lady,

Gerald.

Yes, indeed, Mr. Drake.

I wish that boy of mine

would get interested in a girl

like that and stay home...

instead of hopping off

on that South American thing.

Maybe he will.

Yes, maybe.

What'd you say her name was?

Don't start that!

I don't know!

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I'm used to leading.

At school when just we

girls danced, one led and...

And the other followed.

That's right.

How's your horse?

Shamrock?

Yes. I hope the sugar

didn't make him sick.

What's the matter?

I'm sorry. I was thinking

how different you look.

I'm glad of that.

I didn't see my face

until I got in the car.

You were in a bad way there

for a few minutes.

I didn't thank you for being

so nice about everything and

tell you I was all right.

I figured you were all right

when I heard you'd run away.

I couldn't help that.

Don't, don't ever

run away again

without saying good-bye.

I mean it.

[Orchestra Stops]

[Applause]

[Orchestra]

Too many people here.

Yes.

Let's go outside.

All right.

It isn't too cool for you,

is it?

No, not at all.

If you'd rather go inside...

No.

Maybe you would, though.

I could get your wrap.

Oh, no, really.

I'm all right.

I was...

Do you...

Go ahead.

It was nothing.

What were you going to say?

I was just thinking

I'm leaving here next week.

Are you?

I'm going to South America

with Dr. McKenzie.

You've heard of him,

haven't you?

McKenzie? I think I have.

He's the world's greatest

authority on rubber trees.

He's been to the Amazon

30 times. He always says,

[Scottish Accent]

"I'm verra, verra fond

of the wee river."

He talks like that

and calls me laddie.

[Chuckles]

Laddie?

Do you have to go?

It's sort of a declaration

of independence to Dad.

He's got a lot of ideas about

handing me a ready-made future.

Oh, I see.

Look at that traffic.

And it's after 12:00.

Yes, it certainly is.

Will you be away long?

About six months.

Where will you stay?

On our boat.

It's a big sailboat

with an auxiliary,

a diesel engine.

Sailboats are beautiful.

Yes, they are beautiful.

What's a diesel engine?

Well, it's on the same principal

as a regular gasoline engine...

only instead

of using crude oil...

Did you say it was 12:00?

It's after 12:
00.

See the clock down there?

Oh, l...

Well, good-bye.

[Indistinct Chatter]

Wait a minute!

[Orchestra]

[Ted]

You're not gonna run away,

are you?

[Barbara]

Hello, Ted.

Hello, Mrs. Clinton.

Walter.

We've had

an appalling experience.

We're jailbirds.

What are you doing

with that slipper?

Looking for it's owner.

I'll be right back.

Who'd he say

he was looking for?

- I don't know.

- [Grace] He's probably playing some game.

[Walter]

He seemed delighted we were

here.

[Man] Hello, Grace.

[Woman]

We thought you'd never get here.

We were delayed.

By the law.

Wasn't it horrible, dear?

It wasn't fun.

I rather enjoyed it.

What happened?

Oh, Ted. Your father

knows the mayor, doesn't he?

Yes...

Mother wants to reform

the whole city government.

Good.

Excuse me a minute.

You didn't see a girl

go any place without a slipper,

did you?

No.

Well...

Be back in a minute.

I never heard of such

inefficiency.

Does anybody know who...

Ted's looking for?

[Woman] Probably

the girl who was singing.

[Barbara]

He's certainly

in a dither about her.

[Walter]

Let's all go up

and help him find her.

Did you see that girl

with the white wrap?

She looked just like Connie.

It can't be.

Connie isn't here.

Did that wrap she

was wearing have a hood?

I don't know.

Have you seen

Ted running around

with that slipper?

I thought it was yours

'til I saw how small it was.

It belonged to some new girl,

somebody no one ever saw before.

Shejust ran away

with the party. Nobody's

seen Ted since she sang.

And when she danced,

shejust closed her eyes

and lost herself in a dream.

Did that girl wear

a silver-lace dress?

Uh-huh. Very sweet.

Not severe like your black.

Just girlish. Do you know her?

Tell you later.

Get my wrap, please.

Yes, miss.

We've been waiting for you,

miss.

Oh, George!

Tell us all about it.

I don't know where

to begin.

Any trouble getting in?

No.

- You didn't run into

Mrs. Clinton and the brats?

- No, but I saw them.

[Martha]

Did they see you?

[Agnes] What time?

No, I hid behind a post.

They got in about midnight.

How did you know...

A little bird told us.

[Agnes]

A little bird named Mike.

Did you dance?

Yes, and I sang.

I'll bet they cheered.

And Mr. Drake...

Oh, so that's the "he."

[Whistles]

[Connie] Agnes, it was...

What I wouldn't have given

to see you.

He was so nice, Agnes.

Oh, don't ask me.

[George] What did you sing?

A Strauss waltz. You know.

[Humming]

We'd best go in the kitchen,

miss.

I've got some hot chocolate...

and a piece of cake for you.

And you can start

at the very beginning.

You're lame!

I lost a slipper.

How'd you do that?

It was awful.

I had to start running...

No more here. The old man's

working in his study

and we'll get into a...

I'm working;

you're making noise.

So we'll have to stop the work

or stop the noise.

I'm very sorry.

It's my fault, UncleJim.

Maybe it is.

We won't have any more of it.

UncleJim. George told me

to be quiet or go to another

room so I wouldn't disturb you...

Have a nice time

at the party?

What? Oh, yes, wonderful.

Uh-huh.

Danced, huh?

Met some nice people?

Oh, yes, UncleJim.

Very nice.

What'd your cousin say
