Raintree County Page #6

l walk alone

l just don't understand that.

You're still young, you know...

And pretty as a swan.

Are you interested in a man, honey?

Perhaps.

Well, good, l just hoped is not

a school teacher,

Like Johnny.

You know, Miss Kader

a school teacher

has almost remote little habits

like read and write and mess all around.

Anyway, l did want you to know

you're always welcome.

Any friend of my husband's is

a friend of mine.

And Johnny always did tell me

all his best friends in Raintree County.

You're the first, bye... bye.

Hello, Johnny

0h, where you pop up from?

No place special.

Galwood asked me to marry him.

Mr. Seanacy.

Hello.

He's going to politics,

what do you think, Johnny?

L mean you're always

being my best friend

l think Galwood will make

a fine politician.

You know that's not what l mean.

Mr. Seanacy, a few months in your class

l learned more about poetry and

politics and life and...

than l've all the time going to school.

The students seem to enjoy

creeping up on me.

They're all in love with you.

Teachers get falling in love with

it's an occupation hazard.

Me was different,

l fell in love with the student.

So did l.

All l thought was a hopeless mistake,

wasn't it?

She tricked you into marriage, Johnny...

She wasn't pregnant

lt's one thing people around here

can't do without deny

l'm sorry, Johnny... l'm so ugly.

No, Susana and l are going to have

a baby, in April

l want you to know you're my

best friend.

Well, l'm very happy for both of you,

until then, goodbye.

How do you feel?

0h, l've a troubled sleeping again...

that dream,

Why you 're up so early?

Wasn't school or election day?

L 've got to vote.

You were out so late last night,

speechify... the Mr. Lincoln

l wasn't the only one up there.

The speechify.

Thank God Jones delivered it

a little scum wider.

You want to read it?

Come in.

Morning... Mr. and Mrs. Seanacy.

Good morning, Siona.

Galwood Vs Jones...

L always wonder what's the beast for

l give you one guess.

Galwood Vs Jones...

Youngest candidate ever to seek office

in lndiana State Legislature last night

rounded up his program campaign

in 3-mile junction.

With the enthusiastic denunciation of

teachers who used the schools as a platform

to corrupt the youth of

Raintree County.

Those who stand on the slavery question

is most violent

Jones declared that the best look to

their papacy is only the ship.

A certain young teacher who instructs the

young, in a flammatory and seditious doctrine

about abolition includes a domestic

arrangement of his home to colored people.

The status with respect to those freedoms for whose

protection the abolitionists claim a monopoly is.

Who said who's?

Questionable.

Can you guess who's talking about?

But l think he's right

l think politics like charity

should begin at home.

That's exactly what l intend to begin.

What about Daisy and Siona?

What about them?

Honey, you lied after free those girls

and get rid of them.

But they've been with our family

since they were born.

They'd be unhappy any place else

l just don't understand you, Johnny...

After beeing insulted me

l just don't see how can you go on

being an abolitionist.

Susana, you're not south now...

You can't have your slaves here

Johnny, l wish you wouldn't pick on me...

L don't feel well.

Honey, l'm not picking on you

l just don't want slaves in my house.

Alright, l wish we could get away

from here

l don't like this place

l just assume limited as a goat

in the hole.

What anybody in the south ever do

to hurt you?

You know how nice and sweet they all were

and how much they loved it

l just don't see how you can

support a man like Lincoln... Lincoln.

Why you despised Lincoln so much?

L mean ...that's well-known fact.

You must've heard about it.

What's about the fact?

L mean the fact that Lincoln has

negro blood in him.

You don't believe it?

As Galwood or Jones.

Dear, all l ask you get rid of the girls...

Pay them wages and do whatever you want.

You don't love me...

you never did love me.

You hate me because l'm southern.

You've been asking questions about me.

Dear, do what you want.

But if those girls are not free by tonight,

l won't come back to this house

Hello, Johnny.

Hello

ls it a wonderful victory?

You mean Galwood or Lincoln?

L haven't seen Galwood, not around here.

You know sometimes think of the man

of the people is afraid of the people.

You were so wrong with wich you said

about Galwood that day

l think Galwood would make

a terrible politician.

He was born in the year 1835 with a

little capital he built in the year 1860.

It's very funny

l also think he'd make

a terrible husband.

How's he with you now?

Just fine.

Good.

Now you look, you look older

l'm older.

How's everything with you?

Fine, just fine.

Good.

Well, l guess this is the time ready

to say goodbye.

Say what?

To say goodbye.

Goodbye?

Mmmmm

l'm going to lndianapolis

to live with my married sister

l'm sorry, l mean really sorry

you have go.

Goodnight, Johnny.

Goodnight.

Surprise, hello, our hostess Johnny boy

Johnny... it's for you, honey

lt's a party for you...

Galwood helped me do it.

Dear.

A drink, Johnny?

Thank you, no

0h, come on, sprout

l made this punch myself.

An old lndian recipe... pure corn and

just a little bit of lime

0h, aren't you gonna congratulate me

on the personal triumph

for my stand on slavery?

You don't stand, Galwood, you point.

You point like a bird

set upon opportunity.

Well, to you l'll turn the other cheek

l admire your humility.

Darling.

Quiet, everybody.

I've an announcement to make

Daisy, Siona-, come here.

That's a wicked speech, Galwood...

I'm ashamed of you.

Don't miss that, honey

l'd slap my own grandma better than

for the abolition of the city polls.

Quiet, everybody

l want you all to know that

l don't keep any slaves in this house

ln honor of Mr. Lincoln's election,

l'll free both these girls.

They now will work for me

for wages.

Now is all sisters under the skin.

Siona.

Mr. Seanacy, we'll look after

your guests.

Honey.

What are you doing?

Now you find me, Johnny.

Go on beat me, hurt me.

You're too good for me, Johnny.

Honey

0h, Johnny.

What... what did l do wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong, honey

l love you, Johnny

l can do anything for you

l love you, Johnny.

You know... you know what?

Why don't we just start up

getting rid of these damn dolls?

Yes, Johnny, yes.

You too, honey.

Ah.

Now, maybe we have a little privacy

around here.

Dear.

Where's that doll?

Come to bed.

No.

No, l must find it,

l came up here to find it.

You don't remember what we 've done with

those dolls long time ago?

Come on.

What's the matter?

What's the matter, darling?

0h, what's wrong?

L keep having awful dreams.

The fire, Johnny, l'm so afraid.

Susana, get some sleep, okay?

0h, Johnny.

L hate it's coming.

Don't worry
