Blossoms in the Dust Page #4

I...

- I didn't know I was nameless, Mrs. Keats.

- Except for the kindness of the woman...

...in the license bureau,

it might never have come to light.

Whose business is it but mine?

It's anybody's business now.

It's common gossip.

Was it common gossip

before you started telling it?

George, don't, darling.

Why, Charlotte's an angel.

She's kind, gentle, sweet.

Why, from the day George and I took her,

she's been as dear to us as our own child.

And she's the only one

I'll ever marry, Mother.

Make up your mind to that.

Allan wants to take you away

for a while.

Yes. We'll go to someplace nice,

where no one knows us.

Away from his practice and his family.

Oh, Sarah.

- You'll wreck his life.

- Mother, stop it.

Run along, Charlotte, darling.

I have a plan to talk over with Allan.

Don't worry, dear.

We love each other,

and that's all that really matters.

Everything's going to be fine.

Oh, Charlotte.

Did she agree?

Do we get the double wedding?

Why not?

Did you hear that, dearest?

- Here's to double tandem.

Edna.

- Edna.

- Yes, darling?

What is it?

I want you to have this.

Charlotte! Charlotte!

Charlotte! Charlotte!

How about amalgamating?

Share losses as well as profits.

Well, maybe you're right, Charlie.

But do you see that sign out there?

Someday it's going to read,

"Samuel Gladney and Son. "

Can't take in partners

without consulting him.

That son of yours

may turn out to be a daughter.

- Maybe you're right.

Sorry to interrupt you...

Mr. Gladney!

You got to get home to your wife

right away.

But it isn't time yet.

- But babies ain't got calendars.

- Holy smoke.

There's your partner.

- Did you call the doctor?

Well, that's the trouble, boss.

We can't find him.

- You can't what?

- Well, Dr. West is gone away...

...on a fishing trip,

and fishes ain't got telephones.

- My sister has a wonderful doctor.

- Call him up right away.

- Take it easy, Sam.

- I'll go and hitch the horses, boss.

- Well, go on. Look, call the hospital.

- Hello, Central, 485.

Keep trying to get Dr. West. Have his wife

get him no matter where he is.

- I will. Hello...

- Keep getting West until you get him.

- Yes, I will. Hello. Hello. Hello.

- Sorry, gentlemen.

I'd like to speak to Dr. Breslar.

Out of my way.

- Who are you, anyway?

- My name is Breslar. Dr. Breslar.

Where is she? Where is she?

She right upstairs.

Stave it off, if you can,

till the doctor gets here.

Just keep out of my way, will you?

Heat all the water you can, at once.

- Plain water?

- Heat it.

- Yes, sir.

- Are you sure you know what you're doing?

I have 60 babies a year. Do you?

Careful, now.

Can't you tell what color its eyes are?
