The Old Maid Page #4

- Goodbye, Delia. Lots of happiness.

- Thank you.

- Goodbye, sir.

- Goodbye.

Oh, Dr. Lanskell, it's something blue.

Come, my dear.

Clem.

Clem.

Oh, I was worried for you,

Miss Charlotte.

Your grandma's awakened twice,

asked if you was in.

And I told a lie. I said you was.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

You go to bed, Dora, and I'll be up.

Oh, Miss Charlotte.

Goodbye, Charlotte.

What's the matter?

Oh, little Charlotte.

Oh, I should be the one to weep

but I don't.

Supposing you had come home

expecting to find everything...

...and there was nothing.

Nothing even to live for?

- That's why I'm so worried for you, Clem.

- Oh, please don't worry about me.

I'm all right.

I'll be leaving immediately.

- To this war?

- Well, what other war is there?

War makes you forget,

sometimes rather quickly.

- Lf I could do anything...

- You have.

You've been sweet.

Sweet little Charlotte.

Pretty little Charlotte.

Don't you know what happens to you

means more to me than anything?

You mustn't say that.

You mustn't.

But I have said it.

But I'm not worth it, Charlotte.

Yes, you are. I think you are.

Don't laugh at me.

How could I laugh

at anyone so sincere, so kind?

Charlotte.

What's the matter?

What are you doing here?

Clem, he's leaving.

Clem?

Yes, in a few minutes.

I can't find him.

There he is.

Time to load, general.

- Clem.

- Charlotte. Oh, you brought Delia with you.

- Hello, Clem.

- Hello.

- It's nice to see you before I leave.

- The best of luck.

And the same to you always, Delia.

Thank you.

Ralston has turned his factories

into munitions.

See that he sends plenty along to us.

We'll need it.

I will, lieutenant.

I'll use all I can.

And I'll remember that every shot

will make you richer.

- Thank you, Clem.

- Goodbye, Delia.

Goodbye.

Step, company.

Step lively, men. Step up there.

Clem, come back?

I'll try.

I'll try, really.

- Please, Clem.

All aboard.

The train's moving.

There's so much left unsaid. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

I think we can

feed him up a bit, though, don't you?

Oh, isn't she sweet?

Dora, you know, I am worried about Tina.

Oh, she's been playing hard

and she's warm and tired.

- Tell me, what are the first symptoms?

- Sometimes they turn blue.

- Oh, Dora, don't say things like that.

Well?

There's the doctor now.

There they are. Ha-ha.

- Hello, everybody.

You did come.

Well, well, you worry, worry, worry.

Tina's not as strong as the others.

I thought she might have it.

Well, where is the invalid, you alarmist?

I've kept her away from the others.

- I thought she might have a little fever.

- Well, well, well.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hello.

How does she look?
