:09:00
Yes, Brother,
you will be hearing from us.
:09:23
No, no, no, no,
I simply will not have it.
:09:26
The least you could have done was
consult with us before you wrote Jerusha.
:09:30
It might not be a bad thing, Abigail.
:09:32
Jerusha seems willing
to meet the boy, at least.
:09:35
My dear sister, the fact is
you have a daughter who is 22,
:09:39
and she grows more confused
and depressed each day.
:09:43
That's not true!
:09:45
It's only since Captain Hoxworth
she's had these... depressions.
:09:49
But that's the point!
:09:50
All this mooning around over
a damn sailor she hasn't heard from
:09:53
in almost two years, it's unnatural.
:09:55
But this Hawaii,
we don't even know where it is.
:09:58
Charles, are you willing
to send your daughter...
:10:02
My dear, the only thing I'm not willing
to do is abandon my child
:10:05
to fits of depression and religious mania
in a small upstairs room!
:10:09
If she can find love and a rich,
new life in Hawaii,
:10:12
It's a damn sight
better than she's doing here in Walpole,
:10:14
wasting away over a sailor
who's long since forgotten her.
:10:21
Abigail...
:10:24
Shouldn't we give
the young man a chance?
:10:27
If she doesn't like him,
she can send him away.
:10:32
I promise.
:10:44
Abner! A letter! A letter!
:10:47
"Dear Brother Hale,
as a result of careful inquiries,
:10:51
"the American Board of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions
:10:54
"is happy in the will of God to announce
:10:57
"that you have been chosen
for mission duty in Hawaii.
