The Curse of the Cat People Page #4

Or maybe to the clouds or the sun.

Or perhaps it was to the flowers

in the garden.

All finished, darling?

- Yes, Mommy.

- All right, come along, then.

- Good night, Daddy.

- Good night, darling.

- Pleasant dreams.

- Same to you.

She'll surely have

pleasant dreams tonight.

She's been such a good girl

all day long.

- What are you saying, darling?

- I wasn't saying anything. I was singing.

I suppose any note, no matter how sour,

sounds like a song...

...if you hold on to it long enough.

I thought I'd never forget that song.

- What song, dear?

- The song I was trying to hum.

The song my friend taught me.

You'll remember it sometime.

- Mommy.

- Yes, darling.

- Did you ever make a wish?

- Lots of times.

- Did your wishes ever come true?

- Sometimes.

I made a wish today, and it came true,

just like Edward said it would.

- Where did you get this ring?

- That's what I wished on.

- Edward says it's a wishing ring, and it is.

- But where did you get it?

At the old house with the voice.

Someone gave it you?

But you shouldn't accept gifts

from strangers.

Yes, Mommy.

Where was this old house?

On the back street. A green house.

- The Farren house.

- Do you know the people?

No, I don't know them,

but I've heard about them.

- Are they nice?

- I really don't know.

But I do know

that you must return the ring.

Get Edward to take you there

and give it back to the old lady.

Well, the mother or daughter,

whichever one gave it you.

But ask Edward to go with you.

I'll take it back.

I got my wish anyway.

You mustn't tell anybody,

or it won't come true.

But it's already come true.

Then you must keep it true.

- Good night, darling.

- Good night.

Little miss, you're stopping me

in my work.

I want to talk to you.

Mommy says for you to come

to the old house with me.

I've got to take back this ring.

You just wait until I finish here. I've got

to dust these ships off for your dad.

- Will you come soon?

- Soon as I finish.

- Now, little miss?

- You're going to be busy all day long.

I do suppose so...

...but since you were there yesterday,

guess you can get there today.

That means I can go alone?

- Hello, Amy.

- Hello.

Were you coming to see us,

Ms. Callahan?

- No, darling, I hadn't intended to.

- I live right here.

Well, maybe I'll drop in

and see your mommy.

- Goodbye, Ms. Callahan.

- Goodbye, Amy.

I like to see a home like this.

A home connected with people's

thoughts and work. Things they love.

- This is some of Oliver's handiwork.

- Good too.

- It was fun getting this room together.

- I should think so.

It doesn't fit, does it?

Yet it's a part of our lives too.

A part of our past.

I've often thought of getting rid of it,
