The Other Sister Page #3

live with these things for a while...

and you'll see, I'm sure that

you will grow to like them very much.

And, anyway, Dr Johnson said that, uh,

that these are your favourite colours.

Uh, you like red,

don't you? Where...

Carla, wh...

Why are your eyes closed?

I'm remembering my old room.

Ohh! Heather?

Heather!

Bye.

I'm really sorry we didn't

visit you more frequently...

but I got a job in New York,

and Caroline went to college.

- So...

- Yeah, but that's okay 'cause sometimes...

we thought that the visits

sometimes upset the parents...

more than it made

the kids happy.

Well, we're sorry, Carla.

But I liked all your letters

that you wrote, Heather.

They were better

than Caroline's...

'cause she mostly drew pictures.

- What?

- Honey, I think you just...

She's overwhelmed by all of this.

Now, why don't you just relax?

You did great, okay?

Just don't be

so hard on yourself.

Radley, I'm gonna

make it up to that girl.

I really am.

Winnie!

Your mother said

another 15 minutes.

Did you tell her that

I don't like tennis still?

She said that all

well-bred girls play tennis...

chess or bridge.

Oh.

Is it 15 minutes yet?

- We'll look at that. We'll look at that right...

- Hello, Mrs Tate.

- How are you? - Oh, Victoria,

you look so lovely. - Thank you.

I'd like you to meet my daughter.

This is Carla.

- Hello, Carla.

- Hello.

Didn't your other daughter,

Heather, get married?

- No, no. Actually, it's, uh, Caroline is engaged.

- Oh!

But anyway, I want to see

a couple of sweater sets.

- And, Carla, come on.

- That's a very nice shirt, Mom.

Very beautiful feet.

Nice toes.

And the sock really

accentuates your feet.

You know that the,

uh, the Chinese say...

that the toes are

the windows to the soul?

- They do?

- I've been to Hong Kong several times, and I've never heard that.

Why don't you just, uh, enlighten us

with your knowledge of shoes?

- Do you have this in a size eight?

- She's a little uptight, isn't she?

- What?

- It's tight. This shoe's a little tight.

It'll... Here.

How 'bout these? These red ones here.

- Yes, this is a fun shoe, Mom.

- I don't think so. Thank you very much.

What about these with the heels?

Remember the leather?

- This is hip. Hip.

- Those are not what we want. Thank you so much.

Mothers are always right.

And today the dogs

are here to be seen...

in the hopes that they'll be adopted

by the nice people of Sutter Hills.

- And I'm a friend of your mother's.

- And so, thank you from me...

You know that your mother was the one who

made this animal rescue shelter a possibility.

- No. I didn't...

- Yes, and she did a lot of other things in Sutter Hills.
