1:27:01
...and yet when Carol...
1:27:04
- Oh, but perhaps you regretted it.
- I did nothing of the kind.
1:27:08
- Then why...?
- My marriage lasted a few weeks.
1:27:11
My husband was in the army.
He was killed in action.
1:27:14
Oh, I'm so sorry. Forgive me.
I didn't know.
1:27:17
I never regretted it.
Not for one moment.
1:27:20
We married because
we knew that might happen.
1:27:23
But I don't want Carol to suffer
as I suffered.
1:27:27
Don't you want her to be happy,
even for a little while...
1:27:30
...the way you were?
1:27:32
I was afraid you'd say that.
1:27:34
Not that it matters what you say.
Or what I say, either.
1:27:37
You know that, don't you?
1:27:39
You mean, Carol will go her own way?
1:27:42
She's my granddaughter.
1:27:45
Well, then why?
1:27:47
Goodness knows.
1:27:49
I was beaten before I started.
1:27:52
You don't mind terribly, do you?
1:27:55
He is a nice boy.
1:27:58
Yes.
1:28:00
I see now where he gets it.
1:28:02
You're pretty too.
1:28:03
No wonder that wretched Ballard
named his rose after you.
1:28:06
Not that he's got a chance
of getting the cup from me.
1:28:09
Well, so long as we're going
to be relatives...
1:28:13
...the least you can do
is to offer me some tea.
1:28:18
- Well?
- Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
1:28:28
"So Alice sat on with closed eyes...
1:28:30
...and half believed herself again
in Wonderland.
1:28:33
With the grass rustling in the wind...
1:28:35
...and the pool rippling
to the waving of the reeds...
1:28:38
...the tinkling sheep bells,
the voice of the shepherd boy...
1:28:42
...and the lowing of the cattle
in the distance.
1:28:45
She pictured to herself how she would
keep through all her riper years...
1:28:49
...the simple and loving heart
of her childhood...
1:28:53
...and how she would gather
about her other little children...
1:28:57
...and make their eyes bright and eager
with many a strange tale.
