The Two Mrs. Carrolls Page #2

Charles Pennington.

Has a nice flow.

Charles Pennington.

Uh-huh. Might

as well come in.

Thank you.

I heard someone

singing outside.

Was that

Mrs. Carroll?

Oh, might have been.

People sing

in the spring.

What a memory

you must have.

What's that?

Oh, nothing. Just a passing thought.

Hmm. As I

always say,

When you work

for an artist,

You can expect

anything.

Wait in here,

if you please.

Mrs. Carroll.

Mrs. Carroll, there's a man to see you,

Name

of Pennington.

Who?

Charles Pennington.

I'd crowns resign

to call thee mine

sweet lass of Richmond

Tremendous,

isn't it?

Hello.

Hello.

What did

you say?

I said it was

tremendous.

Yes, but creepy.

Only at first. You get accustomed to it.

Then you think

it's wonderful.

She was

my mother.

Died less than

two years ago.

I'm sorry.

You needn't be.

We all die.

I've heard a rumor

to that effect.

It isn't exactly

like mother was

Because it isn't

a portrait.

Yet it's

like her.

Father says it's

representational.

Represen... father took the very word

Right out

of my mouth.

Are you

a painter?

No.

I'm a lawyer.

Well, we can't all be painters, can we?

You're

from London.

Mm-hmm.

We used

to live there.

It's quite

a change then.

You're only

40 Miles away,

But here in Ashton,

you only see churches.

True, but the churches

are beautiful,

And I love the sound

of the bells.

Penny!

Penny!

Hello,

Sally.

Penny.

You look fine. It's good to see you.

Bee, you

needn't leave.

He's an old friend

of mine.

We've already met.

He's nice.

Quite nice.

How old is she? 45 or 50?

Does give that impression.

She's sweet, though.

Sit down.

I'm so excited.

It's been so long.

A year

and six months.

Your wedding is clear in my mind.

Took that long to forgive

me for walking out?

That's all

forgotten.

Is it really?

Now that you come to mention it, no.

I didn't

think so.

I was so wrong.

I shouldn't

have run off

Without giving you

some word,

But when Geoffrey

came back...

When

I met Geoffrey,

It was simply as if

nothing else mattered.

I understand.

All I have to do

is see you.

You're as happy

as you look?

Do I look

as happy as I am?

That's all

that matters.

He's good to me.

He'd better be.

I'd like

to meet him.

He's upstairs.

I'll call.

I'm not your

only visitor.

A Mrs. Latham

and her daughter...

They're clients

of mine.

Oh, then you didn't come just to see me.

That's what

they think.

Mrs. Latham wanted to see your garden.

I volunteered

to pave the way.

They'll be here

shortly.

I'll be glad

to meet them,

But I'll have

to change.

Have a drink.

Have a cigarette.

They're over there.

I'll be right back.
