Miracle Maker Page #2

that's not exactly what I said,

no.

But that's what I heard.

What do you think a miracle

maker would be like, Pastor?

Well, um . . .

I suppose a miracle maker could

be someone who

does something out of the

ordinary

something remarkable to

better the world.

I think he'd be important

like a rich man, but not like

Mr. Booth.

And he'd be kind.

And helpful.

And he'd make it snow!

Snow?

Well,

he could if he wanted to!

My pa says we need a miracle in

Woodhaven,

or we're all gonna be in a

whole lotta trouble.

All right,

you kids get going now.

Come on.

[footsteps]

Come on.

Is that what a miracle maker

looks like?

[telegraph clicking]

[telegraph clicking]

[footsteps]

[telegraph clicking]

A telegraph?

We haven't received a telegraph

in years!

[telegraph clicking]

What does it say?

Uh... it says that a miracle

maker is coming to town.

When?

Doesn't say.

We need to tell everyone!

All we have to do is tell Agnes

and Bessie, and within minutes

the whole town will know!

[giggling]

You're all gonna be late for

work now.

But what about the

miracle maker?

There's bread to be made,

work to be done.

You know, if a miracle maker

really does come to Woodhaven

maybe he could help us pay off

what we owe Mr. Booth

and we won't get thrown

out on the street.

Papa, is that true?

We're gonna be

thrown out on the street?

No.

Now there'll be no more talk of

the miracle maker.

Get dressed, Adelaide.

First the cow and now this?

Jenny, all right,

listen, this is my

first-born son right here.

Okay? Just, settle down.

I'll always take care of you

and the girls.

I always will.

Sarrah!

Sarrah!

Hello, Thomas.

Good morning, Sarrah,

how are you? Allow me.

I'm well, thank you.

Wonderful, and Lily,

how's Lily?

She's well.

Would you...

Would you tell Lily

that I love her?

[exasperated sigh]

Why not tell her yourself?

Well, I

Well II have, I have-

in this letter.

I'm sorry.

Please, Sarrah?

[sighs]

Thank you.

What would I do without you?

Have you heard?

A miracle maker is coming to

town today!

[giggling]

Sarrah!

Sarrah!

Thank you!

Thank you.

That's it, that's it.

Unroll it!

[cheering]

It's wonderful!

[cheering]

[cheering]

[footsteps]

I'm off to Mapleton.

I shall be back shortly.

Mapleton?

There's property I'm looking

to purchase.

You don't take care of the

property you already have.

That is my tenants'

responsibility.

How can they take care of their

houses?

They can barely afford to put

food on the table.

You don't know what you're

talking about.

I know enough.

I that know Sarrah hasn't had a

new dress in years,

and others in the town are

destitute.

I work hard.

So should they.

Why are you so heartless?

Remember not to leave the house

while I'm gone.

How could I forget?

You remind me every day.

I'm trying to protect you,

Lily.

[footsteps]

[sound of tuning fiddle]

This town could use a

miracle maker.

I may swoon when I see him.

He should be handsome.

Of course, but it doesn't matter

what he looks like,

as long as he's able to make

miracles happen.

But still, he could be handsome.

Of course!

Handsome...

and rich!

[giggling]

[horse walking]

It's Mr. Booth.

What's going on here?

We're waiting for the

miracle maker!

He's gonna make it snow!

Really?

When was the last time it

snowed in Woodhaven?

I'm not sure,

but I think the miracle maker

could make it happen.

Somebody's coming!

[crowd gossips]

[stagecoach rattling]

[stagecoach rattling]

[ fiddle music playing ]

[ fiddle music playing ]

Well! What have we here?

Are you the miracle maker?

My dear strange child,

what are you talking about?

We received a telegraph.

That a miracle maker is coming?

[scoff]

A telegraph?

And a miracle maker?

I'm afraid you have the

wrong man.

who can show me where the

hotel is?

Well, we don't actually have a

hotel, Sir, but, um...

I'm sure we could find a

place for you.

No hotel...

imagine that.

Well,

I think I'll take my chances

in the next town.

Good day.

[crowd moans]

[door slams]

[stagecoach rattles]

Don't go!

I know he's still coming!

Don't go!

I saw Thomas this morning.

Oh?

Did he ask about me?

No.

Oh.

[scissors snip]

[humming]

[paper rustling]

[sigh]

Dear Lily,

[paper rustling]

I can't, my hands are shaking.

Will you read it?

I have work to do!

Dear Lily,

I'll be waiting at the top of

Johnson's Peak

tomorow night at 8.

Please meet me there, I need to

see you.

With love, Thomas.

Are you gonna' meet him?

You know I can't.

You don't have to tell anybody.

Sarrah Cronin,

are you encouraging me to

disobey my father?

Yes. And if you had seen the

look on Thomas's face

this morning.

No.

I can't.

Hey everyone, look!

Be still my beating heart.

And mine!

Is that a chicken?

Looks like a chicken.

Because it is a chicken!

And that's...

a dog!

[chicken clucks]

He is the miracle maker!

How do you know?

I just do!

We must tell Mary.

Is that really the

miracle maker?

Gotta go tell everyone.

Are you the miracle maker?

[chuckle]

Good morning.

I asked you a question:

Are you the miracle maker?

And is that your dog?

And why do you have a chicken?

Excuse my little ray

of sunshine.

She says what's on her mind.

I see that.

Can you make it snow?

Oh, Rae, all right.

Rae, why don't you go inside and

help your mother?

Good girl.

I'm Elias Grant.

Matthew. I'm looking for

somewhere to stay.

Oh

Mr. Booth owns all the

houses in Woodhaven.

He owns everything in the world!

Well,

I spent what little money

I had on my journey!

That's a shame...

'cause he's stingy, too!

Oliver will show you

around town.

He'll take you to Mr. Booth.

His sister works for him.

I'll go with you.

No you won't, you're gonna

stay here.

And good to meet ya.

But why?

Because we got work to do!

- But

-Come on!

I wanna see!

We all do, we all wanna see!

[knocking]

[Simultaneously] We have

news!

A miracle maker came to town!

My goodness!

He's...

lovely.

Oh, and he has such nice eyes!

Actually, we don't know if he's

a miracle maker just yet.

Well, I do.

Perhaps he can work a miracle

so you can get out of bed.

Or find you two a husband.

Oh.

You mean, one each?

Because I'm not going to share.

[giggling]

[distant] Mr. Booth!

Mr. Booth!

Mr. Booth!

What's happened?

Lily's hurt.

Give her to me.

Give her to me!

The buggy tipped over.

I'm sorry.

You promised you'd

take care of her!

It was an accident.

I'm so sorry.

You are never,

to see my Lily again.

No.

Ever!

Mr. Booth, please...

[door slams]

[footsteps]

Good morning.

Morning, gentlemen.

I'm Matthew.

Thomas Keating.

The pastor.

That's right.

And how is your flock?

[sigh]

In need of miracles.

And the shepherd?

Oliver,

can I trust you to take care

of my dog and chicken?

[chicken clucking]

[footsteps]

[knocking]

Yes?

Mr. Booth at home?

Wait here, please.

Mr. Booth!

Yes?

I'm looking for a place to stay.

Elias Grant told me you're the
