Tuck Everlasting Page #2
Madam.
This is why I worry
about you, Winifred.
You don't have the sense
not to talk to a man like that.
entr into society.
Your mother and I have given
this a great deal of thought.
Middlehouse Academy for Girls
in Pensford,
has an excellent reputation.
Middlehouse?
But that's a terrible place,
everyone says so.
It's like a jail.
Nonsense.
Girls emerge from there
well-versed in etiquette
and manners,
both of which
you are sorely lacking.
But I don't want to be
one of those girls.
Which is precisely why
you must go.
I cannot let
your unbridled nature
ruin your chances
for a respectable future.
Winifred... I'm sorry...
but we have to do
what's best for you.
I won't do it.
I'm not like those girls.
I won't go!
Winifred!
I won't go!
Winnie Foster was to be sent
500 miles away to be educated.
But what her parents didn't
understand
was she only wanted to step
just outside her fence...
so she did.
should be so forbidden?
Winnie had always sensed
a mystery
waiting for her there.
It was a place so entirely
different from what she knew
so far away from her tight,
pruned world.
Ah!
Ah...
How long have you been
standing there?
Not long at all.
I was only walking past,
and I...
Well, you shouldn't...
be in these parts of the woods.
It's best you turn around
and go home.
Well, go on, now, get!
Excuse me,
but I own these woods, and...
I'll go on and get
when I want to.
You own these woods?
Yes, I do.
What's your name?
Winifred.
Winnie... Foster.
A Foster?
Well, I'll be.
Is that a fact?
Well... Winnie Foster,
like I was saying
you need to turn around
and go home.
It just so happens
that I was on my way home
before you made
your rude suggestion
and I would be happy
to continue on my way
if I only knew which way to go.
In other words, you're lost?
I'll point you home.
I'd be much obliged.
But I want a drink first.
Wait... no!
No!
What?
You don't want that water.
Uh, it's poisoned.
I saw you drink some.
Well, now I'm feeling sick.
You don't look ill.
I'm dry as dust.
I said, leave it alone!
Let go of me! My father
will have you arrested!
You're not going to go
and tell him, now, are you?
Hey! Come back!
Don't run away!
Come back!
Where you going so fast, Miss?
Miles, wait!
- No! No!
- You know what Tuck said, Jesse.
- No exceptions.
- Help!
You can't do this.
Stop! Let go!
We can't.
Miles!
Miss Foster!
Miss Foster!
Miss Foster!
Where are you?!
Ho.
We're stopping here.
- Not a word out of you, hear me?
Miles!
- What are you doing?
- No!
Let the poor girl go.
