Come, come, young lady.

Cheer up, darling. Cheer up.

I guess I'm not

a very good businesswoman.

Oh, that's great. Then you won't

grow up to be like my Aunt Sarah.

- [ Laughs ] Shh.

- Come on, honey.

Thank you, Simmons.

See you later, Uncle Willoughby.

- Good-bye, Mr. Uncle Willoughby.

- Bye-bye, Betsy.

And if you say one word to my sister

about those cookies...

I'll smack you

right in the kisser.

Very good, sir.

You know you shouldn't have

gone over there without permission.

- I was only trying to help, Pop.

- [ Laughs ] I'm glad she did.

I'd never have known that this place

existed. It's all very interesting.

Next door, we hardly realize we're so

close to anything so, uh-- so different.

I suppose you feel like a feudal lord

visiting the tenants on his estate.

I bet you'd look grand all dressed up

like a knight on a big white horse.

Riding back to his castle

for safety?

No. Rescuing

the fairy princess.

I mean,

two fairy princesses.

Mr. Wendling, I couldn't

possibly raise the money in five days.

Well, as a matter of fact,

I was gonna make a suggestion...

before your daughter

so graciously knighted me.

I was gonna suggest that I could lend you

the 2,500. My aunt needn't know.

You'd lend-- Why--

Thanks a million.

Thanks two million--

one from me.

I'm afraid we can't accept

your generous offer.

- Why not, Barbara?

- Because I don't know how

we could pay it back.

And we're not going to be at the mercy

of any spiteful old moneybag...

who calls us

a lot of riffraff.

- [ Door Closes ]

- I'm sorry, Mr. Shea. I, uh--

So am I. You see, I just couldn't

accept your kind offer now.

- I understand.

- Come, Betsy. It's time for your lunch.

Pop? Couldn't Mr. Wendling

stay and have lunch with me?

Well, I'm afraid--

As a matter of fact, I was

gonna invite you to lunch...

but I guess the Wendlings are sort

of social outcasts around here now.

- Please let me go with him.

- I wish you would.

Please, Pop. I'm old enough to go out

with a nice young man.

- [ Softly ] All right.

- It's a date.

Barbara's awful smart.

She reads great big books

when she's not helping Pop at the hotel.

- Oh, she does?

- Yes.

She told me she's studying

how not to be an actress.

Oh. I see.

Well, uh, does she have

many boyfriends?

Oh, yes, lots of them.

There's Ole, the Four Martins,

Jimmy and his Jazz Bandits--

No, no. I mean, is there anybody

that takes her out to dinner, lunch--

- You know, a sweetheart?

- Oh.

No. I guess she's just an old maid,

like I was till you came along.

[ Whistle Blowing ]

Say, are you trying to tell me

that you like me?

Mm-hmm.

? I can't show

how much I love you ?
