The Young in Heart Page #9

in favor of

a more impersonal charity.

As it is,

it makes little difference.

What are you trying to tell us?

In the past few years,

there has been

a steady depreciation

in the value

of Miss Fortune's holdings.

I did not wish to worry

Miss Fortune in her late years

by telling her this

because I thought that things

might be managed for her, alone.

If Miss Fortune dies,

taking debt

and taxes into account,

the estate will be

practically penniless.

I trust you will

find it possible to forgive her.

Why should we forgive her,

Mr. Anstruther?

That's a strange thing

you're asking of us,

and pray

what is there to forgive?

Wasn't she good to us?

As to the money, we don't want it.

We don't even need it.

Absolutely not.

We're perfectly able

to stand on our own feet.

Indeed.

Then perhaps I might add

that if Miss Fortune lives,

I doubt that I shall be able

even to save this house for her.

If Miss Fortune lives,

Mr. Anstruther,

you may rest assured there will

be a home for her always.

She will not need this house.

If I have misjudged you,

I beg your pardon.

Good day.

Oh, Marmy!

You do love her!

Darling, darling!

We don't want the money!

We don't want it! None of us!

There, darling!

Oh, and we really want to be

what she thinks we are.

Marmy, she mustn't die.

We've got to show her.

We've got to take care of her.

She saved us, Marmy!

Don't you see?

She saved us all!

You may come in now.

Miss Fortune wants to see you.

She seems to be

very much stronger.

That's better.

When we get around that bend,

I'll show you

what the Wombat can really do.

Indeed!

Mmm! That's the best curry

I've tasted since India!

Since?

Canada.

You know, Mrs. Macrae,

I wonder if we ought

to go to India.

Will you please

stop talking about India...

once and for all?

This day, this sun, this purple veil,

why were they planned?

With what in view

but for the setting of our love?

Such lovely lines, Richard...

but such old ones

to use on your own wife.

Well, here we are

at my new home.

Hasn't this been

a wonderful drive?

Yes, indeed.

And I firmly agree

with the words of Abraham Lincoln,

that great American...

of British extraction, of course...

who said, "You can fool

some of the people all of the time

"and all of the people

some of the time,

but you can't fool all of the people

all of the time."

I give you Mr. Lincoln.

- Ah, yes.

- Yes, Lincoln.

Mr. Lincoln and the Sahib

were old friends.

Indeed?

Oh... perhaps it was

another Mr. Lincoln.

Now I would like

to propose a toast.

To my family...

God bless them, one and all.
