The Magnificent Ambersons Page #9

No, I'm unable to see, even

if she's yours, that a young

man is morally called upon

to give up a career at the

law to provide his aunt with

a favourable opportunity

to play to bridge with.

All right, all right.

If you promise not to get blown up,

I'll see if we can find you the job.

You certainly are the most

practical young man I ever met!

George Amberson Minafer

walked homeward slowly through

what seemed to be the strange

streets of a strange city.

For the town was growing

and changing.

It was heaving up in

the middle, incredibly.

It was spreading incredibly.

And as it heaved and spread,

it befouled itself, and darkened it's sky.

This was the last walk home

he was ever to take up National

Avenue to Amberson Addition,

and the big old house at the

foot of Amberson Boulevard.

Tomorrow, they were to move out.

Tomorrow, everything would be gone.

Ma, forgive me.

God forgive me.

Something had happened.

A thing which, years ago,

had been the eagerest

hope of many, many

good citizens of the town.

Now it came at last.

George Amberson Minafer

had got his come-uppance.

He got it three times filled,

and running over.

But those who has so longed for

it were not there to see it.

And they never knew it.

Those who were still living

had forgotten all about it.

And all about him.

All right, stay back there, now.

He run into me as much

as I run into him.

And if he gets well, he ain't gonna

get not one single cent out of me!

I'm perfectly willing to

say I'm sorry for him, and

so's the lady with me.

Wonderful the damage one of

these little machines can

do you'd never believe it.

All right sonny, back in

your car, back in your car.

All right, stay back there now!

GOVERNOR FLAYS AUTO DEATHS

PROMISES SWIFT ACTION

SERIOUS ACCIDEN:

G.A. Minafer, Akers chemical

Co., both legs broken...

What are you going to do, Papa?

I'm going to him.

You coming, Papa?

How is he?

- How is Georgie?

- He's going to be all right.

Fanny,

I wish you could have seen

George's face when he saw Lucy.

You know what he said to me

when we went into that room?

He said,

"You must have known my mother

wanted you to come here today,"

"so that I could ask

you to forgive me."

We shook hands.

I never noticed before how

much like Isabel Georgie looks.

You know something, Fanny?

I wouldn't tell this to anybody but you.

But it seemed to me as if

someone else was in that room.

And that through me, she...

brought her boy under shelter again.

And that I'd been true at last.

To my true love.
