Love Comes Softly Page #2

[Panting]

He started it, Pa.

You get up.

Get up!

Clint says I got a new ma.

He's lying to me.

- Is that true, Clint?

- No, sir.

She poked me right in the nose

for no good reason.

You're a liar.

That is so a good reason.

[Clark]

Hey. Where do you think you're going?

Apologize.

[Panting]

Sorry.

Sorry.

What'd I tell you about fighting with girls?

I ain't fighting with no girl.

It's just Missie.

Get inside.

Go on.

- No worries.

- Come on, Missie.

We need to talk.

[Indistinct]

Oh, God,

I don't want to do this.

- I just wanna go home.

- Now you listen to me.

There is no place

in this part of the county...

to waste your time

cying overwants.

Your life's

about needs now.

You need a roof overyour head

for the winter.

That's what

you bargained for.

We are here today,

gathered in the Lord's name...

to join this man

and this woman in marriage.

Please join hands.

Will you, Clark Davis, take Marty Claridge

to be your lawful wedded wife?

I will.

And will you,

Marty Claridge...

take Clark Davis

to be your husband?

Come on now. Let's go.

Just answer, "I will."

I will.

Then I pronounce you

man and wife.

[Dog Barking]

[Missie]

Buddy. Come here, Buddy.

I'll bring in your trunk.

[Clears Throat]

This is the bedroom you and Missie will be sharing.

I'll get my things moved

into the lean-to.

[Owl Hooting]

[Plates Clinking]

[Door Opens]

Good mornin'.

[Clears Throat]

Saved you some ham. I'm...

I'm not much of a cook,

but it's usually pretty fillin'.

I've never seen

nobody sleep so long.

I thought you might be dead.

[Clark]

Missie.

Go and wait for me

in the wagon.

- [Footsteps Departing]

- [Sighs]

Got some things

I need to tend to.

I'll be taking

Missie with me.

[Clears Throat]

Won't be back till supper.

Ma'am.

[Wagon Departing]

[Weeping]

[Sobbing]

[Door Opens]

[Footsteps Approaching]

- She's sleeping again.

- Mm-hmm.

[Whispering]

Let's go have our supper.

Pa, is she all right?

No.

But she will be.

Come on.

- [Horse Whinnies]

- [Gasps]

[Panting]

[Horse Whinnies]

- [Clark] Come on. Come on.

- [Whinnies]

Come on.

And bless this dear child

in her time of grief...

and bless this food before us, and we thank you

for the fine day ahead of us.

Amen.

You got an awful lot

of pretty dresses.

You got an awful lot of fancy things

that aren't good for much anythin' at all...

We fetched your wagon yesterday

and brought it into the barn.

What are you gonna do

with all them books?

I checked to see if there was any food that was

spoiled when I was picking up your things.

We planned on buying supplies

as soon as we found our land.

Books must be

pretty important toya.

I'll see if we can
