- But, Daddy...

- You're not taking it home!

Oh, Daddy, you big meany!

I spent so much time trying to get him.

It's got to be done methodically.

Recollection and memory.

- Get her talking about how they met.

- Find out about that first date.

- Sharon!

- That's you.

Coming!

You must bring Mother to California.

Boston is no place to rekindle a romance.

Sharon McKendrick!

Goodbye, girls. Sharon McKendrick!

Your chauffeur's waiting, dear. Hurry.

The punishment was harsh, I know,

but you've survived it

and I hope you've both learned something.

- You'd be surprised, Miss Inch.

- Goodbye, Sharon. See you next summer.

Goodbye, Miss Inch... I cah-n't tell you

how very much I've enjoyed my stay.

I shah-n't tell my aunt

about the aunts... ants,

nor the debutantes, shall I? Bye.

- What did you do to your hair?

- I cut it. It was too hot long.

Wait till your grandmother sees it.

Miss Lockness, Bettina...

Upstairs. Third door to the left.

What's her name?

- Here goes nothing.

- What?

...The white wine and... Do we have

any more of the Louis St George?

We'd better have tickets

for the ladies' wraps.

Rosa, I want all the gilt chairs

in the music room.

- You asked me to remind you...

- Yes, yes.

Do see the maids keep quiet. They must

empty the ashtrays without clinking.

- Yes...

- I want both Steinways at the north end.

- Have you checked the delivery?

- I'll see about it now.

- You're home from camp.

- Hello, Miss Lockness.

- Did you bring home all your underwear?

- It's in my luggage.

Probably full of germs.

What have you done to your hair?

- Do you like it?

- Wait till your grandmother sees it.

Who's that I hear out there?

Is that my little girl?

That tall gangly thing?

- Hi, Grandfather.

- Hello, sweetheart. Oh, my.

Let me look at you. Have you had?

- What's the matter, dear?

- I'm just happy to see you.

And I'm happy to see you too.

Your Grandpa missed you around here.

It was an awful...

Wait a minute. What are you doing?

- Making a memory.

- Making a memory?

Years from now, when I'm quite grown up,

I'll remember how Grandfather

always smells of...

- ...tobacco and peppermint.

- Tobacco and peppermint!

I use the peppermint for my indigestion and

the tobacco to make your grandmother mad.

Sharon!

Sharon!

Welcome home, darling.

- Mother!

- It's so good to have you home.

Let me look at you...

What on earth have you done to your hair?

- Cut it.

- That's certainly obvious.

I thought something was different.

What's done is done. It'll grow again.

What's the matter, Sharon?

Are those tears I see?

- I can't help it, Mother. If only you knew.

- Knew what?

- Sharon! When did you get back?
