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.

[Doorbell Ringing]

- Hello, Cary!|- Hello, Sara.

I dropped by to invite you for dinner|tonight. Mona and Mark are coming.

Mona?|- I know, but I owe them a dinner.

Besides, Mona can be amusing|unless you happen to be her target.

I suppose I should say yes. I haven't|been out since harvey left town.

But mona...|I didn't mean that the way it sounded.

You can't sit around here|with nothing to do.

You should at least|get a television set.

- Oh, no!|- Why?

Because it's supposed|to be the last refuge for lonely women?

That's very sweet of you,|but I don't want a television.

All right, but I've already spoken|to the local television man about you.

[Doorbell Ringing]

- You really should get one...|- Excuse me.

- Hello.|- Hello.

I was just going to drop in|on some friends of mine.

I thought you might like|to come along.

Well... won't you come in?

Thank you.

They'll probably ask us|to stay for dinner.

I have a guest right this minute.|Could you wait?

Cary?|- Yes, Sara?

- Mrs. Warren, this is Mr...|- Kirby.

How do you do? I can't stay.|I'll see you tonight.

Would you be terribly disappointed|if I didn't come tonight?

Of course not! I understand if you're|not in the mood for Mona's gossip.

- We'll make it next week. Bye.|- Good-bye, Mrs. Warren.

You are coming.

Well... Yes.

It'll be cold by the time we get back.|Better take a warm coat.

[Horn Honking]

Hey, Mick!

I'll be right back.|Hey, Mick!

[Car Door Closing]

- Hi, Ron.|- Hi.

[Laughing]

[Laughing Continues]

[Ron] Hi!

- I'd like you to meet Mick and Alida.|- How do you do?

- Hello.|- Hello, Cary.

What a nice surprise.|Come on upstairs.

- You're just in time for the clambake.|- Good!

- Come on in.|- Thank you.

- It's a little chilly in here.|- I'll have a fire in a moment.

I'll take your coat.

- Say, Ron, why don't you start it?|- Okay.

I'll make an anderson special, a talent|I developed on the ulcer circuit.

Freely translated,|the advertising business.

You wouldn't believe it,|but he was once a v.i.p. In New York.

No, you're the one that taught him|to be a very independent person.

The only thing he ever taught me was|how to open a wine bottle with my teeth.

To hear them tell it,|you'd think they spent the war...

crawling from|wine cellar to wine cellar.

[Ron] We did!|- Make cary comfortable, will you, Ron?

All right.|Sit down, Cary.

- What did you say about me outside?|- When?

When he looked at me|and laughed.

I told him you had the prettiest legs|I'd ever seen.

- Here is the Anderson special.|- Oh, it's heavy!

Put the cauldron on the fire,|will you, old man?

- You're in for a shore dinner.|- Hope you like it.

- I do.|- Good!

- Here you are, Cary. Alida.|- Thank you.
