So Well Remembered Page #2

You know, it's not kind

to hold a politician up

for the things he says in

the heat of a public debate.

You didn't mean it, then?

No, I didn't. Yes, I did mean it!

I felt I ought to come and thank you

for coming to my defense this afternoon.

In spite of what you

said about my father,

it was kind of you.

It wasn't meant as kindness entirely,

just fairness.

Oh?

I've never believed this business

about children paying for

the sins of their fathers.

What's done is done.

Anyway, it's a bit early to thank me.

The committee's got to vote yet.

I think I'll win now.

I hope you do.

Come, Becky.

Here, come on, chap.

Here. Do you have far to go?

Stoneclough.

Stoneclough?

Mm-hmm.

You still live there?

It's my home. Where else would I live?

I don't know. I just thought that...

it's a bit of a hill

for a bike, isn't it?

I haven't one. I like to walk, anyway.

Good-bye.

Oh.

Is there anything the matter?

If I can just rest a minute.

I must have taken all

this too seriously.

Yes, yes, of course.

Annie.

No-

Annie!

No, please-

would you fetch another cup please?

I'm quite all right.

Another cup of tea, Annie, please.

Miss Channing feels a bit faint.

Quickly, Annie!

Could I have some hot milk instead?

A cup of hot milk, then, Annie.

Just hot milk?

Aye.

Nobody wants just hot milk.

Apparently miss Channing does.

I shall put a little tea in it.

Now, we'll have to find

a way to take you home.

You can't walk 3 miles.

I don't want to be a bother.

It's no bother at all. Now you

just sit there and have your milk.

I'll see if I can't

borrow Dr. Whiteside's car.

I'll be right back.

Now don't you take any

nonsense from Annie.

Good-bye.

It was very kind of you.

Don't bother to get out.

Excuse me, sir.

That frequently happens

when Whiteside brings

the car up the hill.

It's something to do with

the climb, whatever it is.

Watson will have it right in a moment.

I'm John Channing, Olivia's father.

I'll make some tea while

you're waiting on watson.

Olivia should have

asked you in, of course.

She's a strange girl sometimes.

Whiteside visits me occasionally.

Not professionally, of course,

since he's been medical officer,

though he's promised to find me someone.

Whiteside's about the extent of it.

You probably know I haven't been

overwhelmed with visitors

since I came home from prison.

Aye, I know that.

I suppose he's really a good doctor.

I suppose so.

Who, Whiteside?

Yes, he's a good doctor, all right.

You have something to do

with the town yourself?

I'm on the council.

And I manage to meddle into

affairs by way of "the guardian."

Then you're Boswell,

a friend of Whiteside's.
