:04:01
Their poor mother.
:04:03
One minute a happy wife,
and then the fates strike a cruel blow
:04:07
and she's changed
to a poor widow woman.
:04:11
- Watch the teacup, miss.
- Yes, ma'am.
:04:14
This family is going to be lost
without you, Mary.
:04:18
You too, Ellen.
:04:26
In a book I was reading,
True Blue was the name of it, True Blue,
:04:31
they had this family, Lord and Lady
Darcy, and their beloved children.
:04:35
- They lived in a magnificent castle.
- Aye, I do love them castle stories!
:04:39
- The tray, Miss.
- Yes, ma'am.
:04:42
Well, everybody worshipped everybody,
:04:46
so of course it was all terribly happy.
:04:51
Then one day they lost all their riches.
:04:54
Lord save us.
:04:57
And they were driven from the castle
and they were forced to live in a hovel.
:05:01
It was not in a nice neighborhood.
:05:04
But they had this loyal old
family servant,
:05:08
and the faithful creature
followed them from castle to hovel.
:05:12
And she not only brought
her own life savings,
:05:15
wrapped in a pitiful handkerchief,
:05:17
to her beloved mistress,
:05:19
but she remained with them
to serve them for years without wages.
:05:25
'Tis a beautiful tale.
And a lesson to the greedy.
:05:29
It is that. And you, Miss Nancy,
:05:32
being all so interested
in the welfare of the deserving,
:05:36
will be happy to know
that Ellen and myself
:05:38
have found a nice situation in Salem.
:05:40
At five dollars more a month.
:05:42
Oh. I'm happy for you both.
:05:46
Really.
:05:52
- Finish the story, Nancy.
- I reached the end.
:05:55
- End is right.
- Miss Nancy!
:05:58
'Tis the men come for the piano.
