Her children no longer live with her full-time but come home every weekend. She's not unhappy but also doesn't realize how bored she is. Her friend Sara Warren encourages he to get a television set to keep her company but she doesn't want that either. She develops a friendship with Ron Kirby who owns his own nursery and comes every spring and fall to trim her trees. Ron is much younger than she and their friendship soon turns to love. Her circle of friends are surprised that she is seeing such a younger man and she might be prepared to overlook that - Ron certainly doesn't care about the differences in their ages - but when her son and daughter vehemently object, she decides to sacrifice her own feelings for their happiness. Over time however, she realizes that her children will be spending less and less time with her as they pursue their ow

I'm not sure the gin is as good|as the brand I usually use,

but the vermouth is fair.

[Kay] You mean|those two little drops you put in?

Kay, I hope for the sake|of my liver you've miscounted.

[Chuckling]

Cary, you're looking|lovely tonight.

- That color becomes you.|Well, thank you, Harvey.

Ned was afraid the dress|might frighten you.

It would take more...|perhaps I should say, less to scare me.

No, thank you, Ned.|One cocktail is my limit.

You know,|my reform started...

the night your father|won this trophy.

He filled it with champagne|and made us drink it.

[Sighing]|I can still remember it.

- How many of you were there?|- Not enough.

- I think we better start, don't you?|- Yes, Harvey.

##[Orchestra]

- Cary! Hi, Harvey.|- Hello, Bill.

- We never see you anymore.|- Cary, dear, it's been ages.

Ann and I were laughing|the other night about the time Martin...

Here you are. You can have her later.|Come on, darling.

My favorite woman. What'll it be?

- We had a martini at the house...|- Never switch the pitch.

- Same for you?|- Nothing for me. I've had my quota.

You'll need more than one to see you|through this party, all my fault too.

- And I've got him for the whole weekend.|- George! Hush.

Tom, Cary. I want you to meet|Miss Frisbee, Mr. Allenby, Mrs. Scott.

- Mrs. Scott.|- How do you do?

Hello. I've been telling|your Mr. Allenby...

He's awfully hard to resist.

Seems to be mutual.

- Sara!|- Hello, Sara, Cary.

Did you see? The Nortons|are here together. After all the talk...

- What talk?|- You know what everyone said.

- No, but i'm sure you do.|- [Clearing Throat]

Cary, oh, darling! How wonderful|to see you. I hardly recognized her.

It's indecent to have two grown|children and look as young as you do.

attracting attention, is there?

I suppose that's why so few widows wear|it. They'd have to be so careful.

- Hello, Howard.|- Hi!

[Sara] Go ahead, Cary.

All right. I'd like to.

That was a horrid thing to say, Mona.

What do you mean?

I was only trying to cheer her up|by telling her how lovely she looked.

- But she didn't seem to need it.|- Shall we have a drink?

- How are mary and the children?|- Everybody's down with the flu.

- I'm sorry.|- House is like a hospital.

Now i'm glad I did.|[Chuckles]

You're beautiful, Cary.|Too beautiful to be lonely.

I can never decide whether Howard's|wife is a saint or just not very bright.

She stays at home alone|night after night.

- Yes, but she has the children.|- Even if she hasn't got Howard?

- What does that mean?|- Don't bristle. Did I mention cary?

I'm beginning to think|you have an evil mind.

Now, really.

- It's much nicer out here, isn't it?|- Yes.
