More, Betsy! More!
Now this concludes our little
entertainment...
and I'm sure
we've all enjoyed it immensely.
I'm sorry to say-- or perhaps,
I really shouldn't say sorry--
but we won't have the pleasure
of hearing Betsy sing for us again here.
Betsy's leaving us today.
Mr. shea, who was
a dear friend ofher parents...
has come to take her to live
with him in New York.
I'm sure she has everybody's
good wishes for happiness...
in her new home.

Gee. I'm certainly a big surprise
to myself!. [ Giggles ]
I'll get your coat and hat.
Oh, you look
beautiful, Betsy!
- It's just splendid, isn't it?
- Mm-hmm.
I-- I hope someday
you'll all have pretty dresses too.
Betsy. We'll have
to hurry now, dear.
I've still got to wrap all those toys
Mr. Shea's been bringing you.
Couldn't I leave them here,
Miss Hutchins?
Mmm, Mr. Shea might not like it.
He won't care. Please, Miss Hutchins,
I'd much rather leave them here.
Just give them to--
oh, everybody.
Oh, that's sweet of you, dear.
Say thanks to Betsy, girls.
Thank you, Betsy.
Now say good-bye to everybody,
and we'll hurry along.

Don't you wanna say good-bye to me?

- Why, Rosalie. I'm surprised.
Now be a nice girl.
Say good-bye to Betsy.
No! I don't wanna
say good-bye.

Because I don't want
Betsy to go.

They don't live here anymore.
I don't know. I reckon
they retired on their social security.

Oh, yes.
Here's my arithmetic.
