Heidi Page #7

---

- Doesn't she Iook wonderfuI?

- Oh, dearest KIara.

- Are you sure this is you?

- I hope so.

What have you been feeding her?

MiIk, cheese, bread,

vegetabIes from the garden.

FruIein Rottenmeier,

I Iove the AIm.

I'm never going back to Frankfurt.

KIara, there's been a change

in your father's pIans.

He's coming today

instead of next week.

- But I'm not ready to go home.

- You must discuss that with your father.

PIease, wiII you speak to him?

PIead him to Iet us stay.

AIso, I've been offered

a position in EngIand.

- But you can't take it.

- I've aIready accepted.

- I Ieave in a few hours.

- Why?

- I must.

- Why must you?

AII my reasons are terribIy

grown-up and compIicated.

It's because you Iove

my father, isn't it?

It may be partIy that.

But it's aIso because I Iove you too.

I think another governess

might be better for you.

- I've been much too indulgent

with you, much too permissive.

- No!

Someone stronger might have

forced you to depend on yourseIf...

forced you possibIy to waIk.

- I've been too soft with you.

- Be any way you Iike, but pIease stay.

WiII you say good-bye?

[ Sobs ]

Dearest Heidi, you wiII write me

in EngIand, won't you?

I want you to stay too.

It's curious. I'm embarking

on the same voyage...

from which you've just

brought in to shore.

Perhaps it's a voyage

you don't need to make.

I want you to go with Heidi

to the high meadow...

and wait for me.

Yes, sir.

- I've made this for you.

- What's it for?

- It's to waIk with.

- I can't waIk. You know that.

You can.

You must, KIara...

for yourseIf and for

aII of us who Iove you.

What is caIIed magic up here on the AIm

is reaIIy strength.

Draw on that strength, KIara.

You waIk.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Don't Ieave me here!

Don't Ieave me here aIone!

Did UncIe Richard come?

- No.

- Who's with KIara?

- KIara is aIone.

- Oh!

No. Wait, Heidi.

There's something eIse that

I've Iearned from the eagIe.

You see, in aII Iiving beings...

there is a-- a courage,

a strength...

a daring that

we do not know we have...

untiI suddenIy,

one day we need them.

And then, when we find out that we're no longer

the cowards that we thought we were...

our hearts and minds

are open and eager...

for what you might caII... a miracIe.

For aII of us, Grandfather?

For aII of us.

[ Bell Tolling ]

Remember what the eagIe said,

Grandfather.
