the old folks looked.

It's a blessing for those

alone in the world.

I was thinking... I bet you'd like it.

The change will do you good.

It'll only be a little time till

Johnny comes home.

- He's not coming home.

- How can you say that?

He's no good, that's what I say and...

Ma, I think you'd better go.

Isaac.

It's Minnie.

Ma, Minnie is funny.

She's funny, she's peculiar.

I'll... do whatever you think is best.

- Condition of health?

- Very well, thank you.

Cause of attendance?

I don't think I understand.

Why did you come here?

No one was really to blame,

but I didn't have

any other place to go.

I see.

All right.

You'll come with me and

I'll tell the nurse.

- I will fear no evil...

- Isaac!

Johnny! He's here!

He's coming down the street.

- Johnny?

- I tell you I saw him!

That's him.

- Johnny!

- Hello, Minnie.

- Isaac!

- Johnny, this is a surprise.

- Where is Ma? Isn't she here?

- Didn't you hear about it?

Hear about it?

Hear about what?

She is...

- You don't mean she's dead.

- It wasn't our fault.

We did our best for her,

but she insisted.

- Insisted? Insisted on what?

- On going to the poor house.

The poor house?

Ma in...

Isaac.

You don't mean you let Ma...

go to the poor house!

Come on, Isaac, what have you done

with that money I sent you for Ma?

- I'll stick you in the eye!

- What have you done with it?

Will somebody stop him!

What is it, Mrs. Shelby?

- What's happened Mr. Rawlins?

- I don't know.

Say, what's happening?

Somebody help me!

Somebody stop him!

Somebody stop him!

Stop him! Help me!

To the poor house,

and he's gonna go with me and get her

even if I have to drag him

every step of the way.

Kick him on down!

Kick him on down,

he's a nuisance, every lick of him.

Oh, Lord!

Please, Johnny, don't break

your mother's heart.

It would break your mother's heart.

Oh, Isabelle.

Johnny, I understand.

Ma, in the poor house!

Johnny, don't, please darling.

Darling, don't.

Get up, you baby.

They oughtta killed him.

I don't see anything to laugh at!

Isabelle.

You're the...!

At my house.

That's the funniest thing I ever saw.

Here he is, Ma, Johnny!

Thank you!

I'm looking for my mother.

They told me she was up...

This is Johnny.

This is my boy Johnny.

A good boy.

My boy Johnny.

This is my boy Johnny.

I knew he'd come back.

Lordy, Master Johnny.

Sure happy now!

Let me see you strut,

come on now.

- Don't look.

- Don't you dare peek.

- Keep them closed now, Ma.

- Hold tight.

One, two, three... look!

- Do you really like it?

- Isabelle, it's beautiful.

Ma, turn around!

Look!

Johnny, isn't this beautiful?

Darling, I'm the luckiest man alive.

We're sitting on top of the world.

The other children will be surprised.

When they come

to the wedding tomorrow.

Thomas, Susan and Isaac.

Now, it's all right for Thomas

and Susan, but not that...

They'll all be here, Ma.

Isn't life wonderful?

My children...
