I'm afraid she's
awfully heavy for you.

:11:30
Oh, no.
She's so like my granddaughter.

:11:33
I love holding her.
:11:35
Is she about the same age?
:11:37
No. Mary is almost 30 now.
:11:40

:12:29
I will accept no compensation
and seek no reward,

:12:33
and I will hold as a sacred trust
:12:36
the symbol of mercy
which I wear... the Red Cross.

:12:40
"Tell Jane I'm proud
of my little Florence Nightingale,

:12:44
"and she must hold the thought
that next summer,

:12:47
or the summer after that,
we'll be boating again on the lake."

:12:51
The summer after that...
:12:59
"And tell Brig that her candy is
all the sweeter because she made it.
