Love, Once and Always Page #2

after your flight.

Thank you.

The back seat?

Well, you are the mistress

of the estate now, after all.

But first an old friend.

It is just as beautiful around

here as I remember.

I had so many wonderful

times here.

And as I recall you and Duncan

spent a great amount of time

here together, too.

You were kind of sweet on

each other if memory serves.

The follies of youth.

Actually, Lucy, about Duncan-

It's ok, Eleanor.

He's one part of all of this

that I am happy to forget.

There she is.

Right where you left her.

Magical.

[sheep baaing]

What is all this?

The welcoming committee?

The fence in our pasture

is falling down

and your Aunt Grace could never

say no to visitors.

Go on in and get settled, honey.

Thank you.

The door sticks a little.

Got it.

It's a little sticky, huh?

Oh!

Lucy?

Duncan.

What're you doing

in my house?

Uh... Lucy, what're you doing

in my house?

Your house? My house.

What would give you that idea?

It's not an idea it's a fact.

That this is my house.

No, mine.

Ok, I think maybe there's been

some kind of a mistake.

Why wouldn't Grace tell me

that she was leaving the house

to both of us?

Tell you? Why wouldn't

she tell me?

I don't know, maybe because

I've been here

and you've been in London?

Regardless, it's perfectly

obvious

there's been some sort of

a clerical error.

You changed your hair.

Yeah.

[baaing]

Shh.

So how've you been, Lucy?

Oh, I've been good.

I've been- I've been really,

really good.

Good.

Good.

And you uh, you- you work in

some museum in London I heard?

Mmmhmm.

Yeah, no, and I might

even become its director.

Knock... well, knock wood.

And you, you're some

fancy architect now?

[laughs]

Fancy? I don't know.

I mean, I'm working for a big

commercial firm up in Boston.

I'm glad we're

all caught up.

Excuse me.

Eleanor, why didn't you tell me

about Duncan?

I tried.

You didn't wanna know.

I'm gonna make some tea.

Besides, it's high time

you two buried the hatchet.

Duncan.

This has been lovely.

I am going to go take a little

look around.

Be my guest.

Or my guest.

This place is still amazing.

A window back

to the 1890's.

They don't build houses

like this anymore.

And that's a good thing.

Give me a modern condo

any day.

A place you can heat

with up-to-date plumbing

and electrical.

It's still magical though.

Yeah, it might look magical

but this place is slowly

falling apart.

Note the buckets.

It's seen some disrepair since

the last time you visited,

not to mention half of the rooms

are already closed up.

You see the problem?

Yeah, I'm starting to.

Grace used to hold her

Gilded Age Ball in here.

Yep, this place has definitely
