Heidi Page #6

You can give him his present.

Peter, this is my friend, Clara.

Hello, Peter.

Hello.

This is for you.

All the way from Frankfurt.

Thank you.

She also brought

a warm shawl for grannie,

and a dress for your mother.

Oh yeah?

Why doesn't he like me?

I think perhaps he's a bit jealous.

Most days I go up to High Pasture...

but for the last few days

I haven't been able to.

I wish I could go up

to High Pasture one day.

You've told me so much about it.

I'm sure Peter will be pleased to see us.

This is where he usually is.

Oh, never mind.

I'm sure he can't be very far away.

Here, Clara.

Do you like the mountains?

Yes.

Aren't they amazing?

So, put your arm around me.

Let's find a good place for our picnic.

What about here, grandfather?

Why not?

That's a good girl.

Careful, Heidi.

The ravine!

No!

Grandfather!

Peter!

Peter!

Get yourself down here, now!

Help!

Grandfather.

Hold on to my hand.

Peter...

Help!

Hold, hold on to my leg.

Grandfather!

- Come on.

- I'm slipping! I can't hold on!

Heidi good.

Come on.

Come on.

Heidi.

Heidi.

Heidi, are you all right?

Yes, I think so.

You're standing up.

Stand up again.

I can't.

But you just did, Clara.

Try.

Give her a hand, you two.

All right, now let go of her arms.

Now walk towards me.

Walk.

And that's what we are going to do

every day from now on.

Yes? For the rest of the summer.

And... Peter.

Peter's going to help.

Aren't you, Peter?

Yes.

I can't believe the summer's nearly over.

The weeks have just flown by.

There'll be another summer next year...

and you can come and stay with us then.

Can't she, grandfather?

Oh, any time.

Papa!

Oh, Clara.

Clara.

Oh, darling, how? But you're...

I know, papa, I know.

Peter.

What made you come and live up here?

Because..I wasn't welcome in the village.

Why?

Because they'd heard...

that I'd killed a man in a fight.

And had you?

There are lots of things

that I've done in my life...

that I've regretted, Doctor,

but that was never one of them.

Well, it's a wonderful thing

you've done for Clara, Mr Koller.

And if there's anything at all that

any of us can do for you, anything

you've only to say.

What do I need

that I haven't already got?

Grandfather.

Thanks, grandfather.

- Here, throw it here, Heidi.

- Quick, Heidi.

Clara.

Having said that...

there is one thing, I suppose.

Oh?

I'm not stupid, Doctor.

I'm not just old,

I am beginning to feel old.

What happens to Heidi when I go,

though that's what bothers me.

I'll be retiring myself soon.

I've already got my eye

on a property down in Dorfli.

In fact, it was Heidi who first

put the idea into my head.

And it goes without saying,

of course that...

if she is ever left alone.

There'll always be a home for her

there with me and Mrs Classen.

I can't tell you how relieved

I am to hear that...

Doctor.

Are you all right, grandfather?

Oh, I'm fine.

He hurt his back saving my life.

When Clara first came here.

Yes, I heard about that.

And it still hurts him.

Perhaps I should take a look at it.

It's nothing really.

He always says that.

We'll take a look anyway, shall we?

As you wish.

And now, if you'll excuse me...

I think I better go

and see to the horses.

Are you sure you're all right,

grandfather?

I'm fine, in spite of your nagging.

I love you, grandfather.

And God knows I love you.

Come on, Heidi.

Coming Peter.
