'What was there to say?

'We just looked at each other.

'And loved each other.

'And danced.'

Clem.

I won't

let it happen.

It shan't.

We'll find something,

somewhere.

We'll go on

till we do.

There's America,

the whole world.

We'll go all over

the world to the ends

of the earth.

I know there's

something!

I've seen everyone.

The best.

The very best.

But there must be something,

something we can do.

There isn't, my dearest.

There isn't.

I didn't tell you

until I knew.

There's nothing

that anyone...

They say that it was

the war, and then after.

You have to be pretty

tough these days,

and I wasn't quite

tough enough.

You know.

You do know, don't you?

How much I...

I've loved you?

Darling, I know.

We've had one of the rarest

things in the world,

a perfect marriage.

Nothing has touched it

and nothing

can break it, ever.

"Mr And Mrs Clement Miniver

' "request the pleasure

of your company

' "at the marriage

of their daughter,

Judith Diana Elizabeth

' "to Thomas Henry Foley at

St Margaret's Church, Belham." '

Take thee,

Thomas Henry...

Take thee,

Thomas Henry...

to my wedded husband...

to my wedded husband...

to have and to hold

from this day forward...

to have and to hold

from this day forward...

for better, for worse,

for richer, for poorer...

for better, for worse,

for richer, for poorer...

in sickness

and in health...

in sickness

and in health...

to love and to cherish...

to love

and to cherish...

till death us do part...

till death us do part...

according

to God's holy law.

according

to God's holy law.

And thereto, I give

thee my troth.

And thereto, I give

thee my troth.

Well, Charles.

Thank you once again.

You did us proud.

They're

a charming couple.

They go

well together.

So, by the way,

do you.

The first leaves.

You know, I often think

that England is like

a certain type of woman,

at her loveliest

in the autumn.

Goodbye, Mrs Miniver.

'He was right.

'As I put an arm around her

and we walked back

together into the house,

'I realised Kay had never

looked more beautiful.'

I think it all

went off rather nicely,

don't you, darling?

I'm so glad it was

fine for them.

It's been a beautiful

day, Clem.

Something to remember.

I'll be down in a moment.

'Four years ago.

'Four years ago today.

'The house is still here.

'And we're still here,

the Minivers, if you chance

to be passing this way.

'Tom and Judy in our old room,

Kay's and mine.

'Toby, when he's not

at school, and I.

'Kay isn't here any more.

'I mean, you can't see her.

'But she's here.

'For me, close to me,

she'll always be here,

'in a thousand places,

a thousand ways.

'In the house,

in the garden...

'everywhere.

'It's like that

if you love someone.

'If you love them enough,

nothing can touch your love,

nothing can threaten it.

'You go on together,

for ever.'
