Because l thought you was dead but

1:38:06
And because you got the money now on
account of the reward.
1:38:08
Yours very truly, Sissy." Something
like that.

the day before from the hospital,
1:38:21
after presenting Mr. Polasky with
a brand new son,
1:38:23
the fourth child of the marriage.
1:38:25
So, if he got a divorce that long
ago, you don't have to.
1:38:28
Then my being married to Bill, this
one l mean, is all legal?
1:38:31
Well, now, if that ain't a load off
my chest.
1:38:34
You know something, l think l'll

1:38:38
But Aunt Sissy, you can't. He's been
married for years.
1:38:41
Four kids, huh? Must be a sickly
woman, this Mrs. Polasky,
1:38:45
going to the hospital just

1:38:47
Oh, no, lots of people go there now
to have babies. ls better.
1:38:50
Sure enough? You know something?
1:38:53

and have my baby at a hospital.
1:38:57
And when my baby is born, and lives,
1:39:01
l want you to write that R. Polasky
and announce it.
1:39:04
Boy do l feel better.
1:39:05
And now, chickapea, we'll talk about
you.
1:39:07
Can't your Aunt Sissy help you any?
1:39:09
l'm all right.
1:39:09
No, you aren't honey.
1:39:10
Not all shut up like that, l know
how you feel,
1:39:12
but you can't keep hanging on to it.
1:39:13
l'm ail right. l don't want to talk
about it.
1:39:18
All right, baby. All right. But l'll
tell you what.
1:39:19
You can do something for me.
1:39:21
Look, your Mama feels awful bad too.
She needs you.
1:39:26
Why don't you talk to her about it.
1:39:28
She doesn't need me.
No she doesn't.
1:39:30
She's got Neeley!
1:39:31
Why wasn't it Neeley she was going
to make quit school.
1:39:32
He never cared about it.
1:39:33
She doesn't love me like Papa did.
1:39:35
And she didn't love him, either. Not
really.
1:39:37
She hurt him, l saw her. And he
never hurt anybody.
1:39:40
l'm gonna finish this grade because
he gave it to me
1:39:42
and then l'll work for her.
1:39:44
But she can't be Papa to me, she
can't ever!
1:39:46
Don't feel like that, baby, don't.
1:39:47
Leave me alone. l'm all right.
Please go away and leave me alone.
1:39:55
All right, chickapea, all right.
