Tuck Everlasting Page #4

with Winifred's disappearance.

And Miss Foster says so

based on...?

Her instincts.

Hmm.

Well, maybe you better step

in here, Mr. Foster.

Am I whom you're looking for?

I do believe I fit

the description.

My wife said she saw you

talking to my daughter.

Yes, I did.

She's a charming girl,

full of fire.

Perhaps too much.

She's gone, is she?

Looks like she... ran away.

Did she now?

Somehow I'm not surprised.

My daughter did not... run away.

And I'm not interested

in what surprises you, sir.

I want to know

if you know anything

of her whereabouts.

No, Mr. Foster.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but I do not.

I am quite coincidentally here

in search of someone myself.

I'm seeking a family

that used to live

in these environs.

I thought the constable could

help me locate them,

but ironically, Mr. Foster

your daughter thought

you could help.

Name of Tuck.

Long lost relatives.

l-I can't help you.

Nor I you.

At least not now.

However, I'd be happy

to search your woods

for you, Mr. Foster.

I'm rather talented

at finding people.

I just might meet with success.

Good evening, Constable.

Find out what happened

to her, Henry.

Please.

She's our only child.

Angus made that cradle.

Brought it all the way

from Scotland.

Oh, it's rocked a few Tucks.

There you go.

The breeze off the lake

will keep you cool all night.

The boys sleep up in the loft

when they're home

so you'll have your privacy.

Oh, that corset looks painful.

May I help you off with it?

Oh, honestly, I can't understand

why women torture themselves

this way.

It's no way to live.

Do you have a daughter?

A granddaughter.

And a grandson.

Anna and Beau.

Oh, Miles loved them so.

What happened?

They died.

Their mother, too.

I'm afraid the good parts

of Miles died along with them.

You'll have to forgive

what's left of him.

I'm sorry.

Well, it's... it's the way

things are, Miss Foster.

Can I call you Winnie?

Do you have brothers

and sisters?

No, it's only me.

My mother...

There.

So where do they go?

Oh, they go different places,

do different things.

Miles can do carpentry

and he's good with his hands.

Jesse, now, he seems

to have settled himself.

Of course, then, he's...

he's young yet.

Well...

I hope you will be

comfortable here.

It's a good feeling

having another woman here.

Try and get some sleep now.

Hello?

Have you lost your way, friend?

Not hardly, Reverend.

I'm looking

for a family name... Tuck.

Are you familiar with it?

Tuck. Tuck?

I'm afraid I can't help you.

There are no Tucks

in this cemetery that I know of.

No, I wouldn't think so.

Ha!

Or in any other.

Tell me, Reverend

you who have attended
