Susannah of the Mounties

---

Blackfeet.

Smoke.

Do you smell it, sir?

They certainly made

a thorough job of it.

Aye, they did that,

sir.

- You'll probably find shovels

in one of the wagons.

- Yes, sir.

What-

No! Don't touch me!

Go away!

Please! Please go away!

- We're not going to hurt you.

- Leave me alone!

- The Indians will come back and kill me too!

- There, lassie.

- Let me go!

- There, there.

You're perfectly safe now.

We won't let anyone harm you.

They'll come back!

I know they will!

They killed my grandfather.

He's over there under that wagon.

- Shh! Shh! Come on.

- No.

- Come on now. That's it.

- Please! Please!

Everything's going

to be all right.

Everything's going

to be all right.

There now, now.

Shh. Everything's

all right.

I'm afraid.

Now, listen, Sue.

You and I are going to have a little talk.

You know, there never was

anything to be afraid of...

that couldn't be cured

by one little word.

Do you know what

that word is?

" Courage.'' It can beat the toughest

situation that ever happened.

You see,

when you're afraid of things...

the more you think of'em,

the bigger they get.

But if you just throw

your head back and say...

" I won't be scared

of anything anymore,'' then you're not.

Aren't you ever afraid

of anything?

Well, uh,

let's put it this way:

When I meet up with something

I'm not quite sure of...

I decide first of all that everything's

going to come out all right.

Whatever it is,

I'm going to lick it.

And usually it does

come out all right.

- You know what does it?

- Courage?

Courage.

Now, let's forget everything

that made us unhappy.

Let's learn to smile again,

because we know everybody's...

gonna do all they can to help us,

so we'll help too.

- What do you say?

- I'll try, Mr. Monty.

That's the girl.

Now, back to sleep.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Easy.

Dismissed, Mac.

- Welcome home! Praise be you're safe and-

- Shh!

- What have you got there?

- Quiet. Quiet.

- Where in heaven's name did you get her?

- You'll hear about that later.

- Is the superintendent still up?

- He is.

- And if I told you the half of it-

- I can't escape it.

Give me a quick brush.

I want to report in.

Beggin' your pardon, sir.

You can't go in them clothes.

- I've your other uniform all laid out.

- Why should I change uniforms...

- at this time of night?

- The others, sir.

Every one of'em is dressed up like a widow

at a wake. If you knew who was there-

- I wouldn't dandy up tonight to meet Lily Langtry.

- But it's the O.C. 's daughter.

- Will you stop thatjabbering and brush me off?

- I'll do it!

- I'll do it. Please let me.

- Now look what you've done with your shouting.

You're the worst old fishwife

ever came out of County Kildare.

He's otherwise known as

Patrick O'Hannegan.

- This is Miss Susannah Sheldon.

-Just call me Sue.

Now, young lady, we'll have to arrange

sleeping quarters for you.

- Where will that be, sir?

- Your room.

- My-

- Do I sleep in with him?

No. Pat can sleep

out here on the couch.

But I wouldn't wanna take

Mr. Pat's room.

That's all right. He'll be very

comfortable out here, won't you?

- Oh, yes, sir. Very.

- Give this a lick.

Let's see.

What about sleeping things?

Use one of my nightshirts.

You might have to cut it down.

- Now, young lady, off to bed with you.

- Oh, wait.

There's a hair on your shoulder

the brush didn't get.

- Good night.

- Good night, Mr. Monty.

Come on.

I'll fix the bed for ya.

I'll help you.

- Excuse me, sir.

- That's quite all right, Monty.

- Glad to see you're back.

- I didn't mean to intrude, sir.
