02x18 - The Ella Lindstrom Story

[bunniefuu]

To most of us, ordinary human beings
traveling on a wagon

train is sheer hard work.

You eat equal parts of dust and sunlight
and measure the miles with pounding

headaches spaced nicely with back ticks

that says ordinary human beings.

But not all instruments.

They enjoyed every moment
as though it was made only for them.

They sucked in the dusty air
and made music out of it.

They shouted it out like the whole world
was a stage in Italian opera.

Sometimes the blues from kids
made a brassy kind

of a sound that reminded me
of a thousand crows

or the screech of a wagon
wheel running dry.

That is all except

that oldest daughter who had found a lad.

And if there was any sound at all,
it was like to her.

In the carpet

when.

I heard all what you had to say.

And I'd like you to listen me up.

Three weeks ago, when Mr.

Lindstrom died,

I felt very sorry for you.

For all of you.

We felt.

I know these are poor words for saying.

Is there any better ones?
I just don't know.

I don't know what words
you used to tell kids.

How you feel about their father dying.

This is an instrument.

There isn't a soul on this train.

Not a single soul

doesn't admire you greatly.

Your courage.

What you have in your grief.

Your kids.

You kids took your father's
passing like soldiers.

Every one of you.

We'd like to help you if you let us.

And a few days

we're going to be going near Dodge City.

We'd like to see your wagon safely there.

We'll give back the passage.

Money that your husband paid us.

Not together with

the money that your friends and the train
have offered of their own free

will should see you comfortably till
you get back to your relatives in Boston.

Major Adams,
I hope you and the wagon train people

won't think it's any less appreciative
if we accept only your sympathy.

Mrs. Lindstrom, don't you?

Major Adams, if you were going to tell us
what a woman left

with seven children
may have to go through.

Please spare yourself, children.

And I know we may have to go through now.

We must make our decision.

Enough.

We go ahead as planned.

Steeg.

We go west to build. A new home.

Then we stay with the wagon train.

BRITT Immediately we are going to build
a house that the Indians can't get in to

make it.

I think
we should go all the way to the ocean.

When we get there, we'll bring the garden
and then go out.

And play

Margareta.

We'll go somewhere.

And there will be no one there.

Kids grow up and laugh at him
because he can't talk.

I speak for about two.

We shall go ahead.

It's write right?

You know,

if anybody can make a go of Homestead,
and I'll bet my bottom dollar.

Mrs. Lindstrom and those kids. Kids,

those little Vikings,

you ought to sit in on one of their family
councils for some time.

I never did
see an Army general staff meeting

make their decisions as positively
as that family does, By golly.

It's a matter when they. Take your advice.

Oh, it wasn't that so much.

Just.

I can't quite
get used to this new fangled idea.

Kids that are still left behind here

telling their grown ups
what they will do and what they won't do.

I know

Swedes are fine people, but by golly,
they can get bullheaded sometimes.

Do you ever figure what cars,
westerns, death?

No, I never did.

All I know is one night
he had a stomach ache.

The next morning he was dead.

Well, it looks like the Russians
got over their grief real quick.

Yeah.

I don't know what it is about family.

Just real courage, I guess.

I know they were all hurt and upset, but.

And I'm sure that.

Our family stayed on a train.

Well, it wasn't my idea.
I guarantee you that.

They just had a meeting
of the whole family

and come back and told me
they were going to stay with the train.

And that was it.

After the funeral, I didn't have
the heart to argue with them.

You know that little fella,

though?

While I was reading the Lord's Prayer,
I remember seeing him

out of the corner of my eye
growing up on his own daddy's grave,

and he started playing there just like
it was his own private sand pile.

This is those two men, the kids.

They just paid him
no mind was perfectly natural.

You know,
I bet that family could handle anything.

Yeah. So what?

I want some.

Water.

P p good

jam. At the restaurant.

Listen, we're about ready to roll.

Very well.

Do you charge the major's
ready to move on your way?

Well,

sure.

Wait a minute. Come back. Here.

Oh, Major Adams,
if you will spare a moment.

There's a favor I'd like to ask of you.

Sure. Man.

Alice, listen.

What's this about? A favor?

You mentioned last night that we would be
close to Dodge City in a few days.

That's right.

As a matter of fact, we'll be just
about one day's ride at our closest point.

Could you hold the wagon train
long enough for me to go into town?

Well, I should say I could.

As a matter of fact,
I personally drive the wagon in myself,

and I'll see that
you and the children are all settled.

Oh, no, Major, you misunderstand me.

We are not taking the wagon into town.

We haven't changed our plans.

I'd like to see a doctor
while there's still an opportunity.

You want me to hold this train up
to old age now? Mrs.

Lindstrom, enough is enough.

After all, you and your family have
held up this train days already as it is.

I know it's
not your fault, but facts are facts. I.

What do you want to see a doctor here
for, anyway?

These country doctors are only good
to set bones and deliver babies.

That's very clever of you, Major.

You see, I'm going to have another baby.

You're going to. Us.

You'd better stop
thrashing around in these tight quarters

or we'll have some broken bones
for the doctor to.

All right, Mrs.

Wilson.

I'll take you to town.

And if I seem gruff, I'm.

I'm sorry.

You know, I think I'll see that
doctor myself and have my head examined.

You and your children
are going to drive me to drink,

and that's the best idea I've had in days.

So, dear,

your father has left
you the most wonderful present

in the world.

Oh, sorry, sir.

Oh, well,

go away.

What are

rye bread?

Oh, now the day is.

Oh, the night is drawing.

My shadows.

Of the lonely, kneeling ski.

Cross.

First girl, I say your prayers.

God bless.

You. My family and I

pray Happy day is happy day.

And a peaceful night.

Oh, man.

Good night.

You know it.

Must have fallen asleep.

I gave up hoping you'd come.

I shouldn't have.

I don't know why I did.

Glad you came.

I've never done anything like this before.

Make it sound like
we're doing something wrong.

Is it wrong?

Why do we feel so strange?

Why are we hiding?

We aren't hiding in here.

A man and a woman
have a right to be alone.

And talking 18 isn't a full grown man.

Well, my father was married at 18.

My mother had me when she was 16.

That's as old as you.

Do you think your mother and father
spoke out to me

in the middle of the night?

Oh, sure.

Why not?

Don't you think your mother and father
ever wanted to be alone?

Father wanted to be alone with mother.

Could only worry about one thing.

What convinced him?

Mother,

that if mother wanted to be alone
with father

or he wouldn't have had a chance.

John,

any way.

Well,

Vikings I call.

You'll never know by looking at them
what they'd already been through.

You would never suspect that they had
a moment's concern About what lay ahead.

Whenever I felt them trying,
I just told myself this woman

and her seven children dare to take
on the wilderness on its own terms.

Tomorrow,
Major Adams will take me to the town.

I will go and see the doctor.

And after
he's told me what we already know,

I will go to

the store and buy each of you
a surprise. Oh.

Off to bed now.

Let's go.

Oh, we go now.

Mind what I told you.

No fighting, no noisy game.

We can't expect our neighbors
to be as patient with you as I am.

You will treat Inger as your mother
until I get back.

Goodbye.

Goodbye. My.

All right.

Get out of here. Yes,

I like him.

I play hide and seek.

I think you're it.

Come on, let's go.

Come on,

Major.

You must have lots of chores to do.

But you're in town,
so why don't you get started?

After all, Mr.

Wooster
can help me register and find my room.

And that's all I have to do
until I go to the doctor.

Oh, that's fine, ma'am.
I do have a lot of things to do.

I'll see you later.

Okay?

They will do us very nicely
for the moment, Mr.

Westbrook.

Make yourself comfortable
and I'll be as quick as I can.

It was just a few tests I want to examine
before we have a nice little chat.

Well, now,

where shall we begin?

A doctor.

This is my eighth child.

You can save yourself
the trouble of explaining prenatal care.

Yes, you did tell me you had seven
children.

Oh, there's nothing like a
a large, old fashioned family.

You know, it's a shame

how the youngsters these days feel
that two or three children are sufficient.

I think you and your husband
are very fortunate people.

Doctor,
My husband died over four weeks ago.

I'd be grateful if you'd tell me what
I came to hear so I could be on my way.

Or just sit down.

You see, I

promised that
I would buy each the children a trinket.

This evening is coming
on. I'd not like the stores to be closed.

Yes, of course.

I'm very sorry about your husband.

That's a real tragedy.

And seven children.

What was the cause of Mr. Latham's death?

I don't know.

I'd really rather not talk about it.

This is lonesome.

I think you ought to answer my questions.

You say you're here because
your last child was born deaf and dumb,

and you are certain it is due to
the measles you had during the pregnancy

and you want to be sure that you do
nothing to harm another child.

Well, then answer my questions.

I'm sorry, Doctor,
and I'll answer your questions.

You say
your husband died of an unknown disease?

Yes. One night he had a

a severe pain in his abdomen
and he was dead next morning.

Did anybody else in the family

have anything similar
at that time or afterwards? No.

Anybody on the wagon
train have a similar illness?

No, it wasn't a contagious disease.

We were sure of them.

Since your husband died
and you're continuing on

with the wagon train for my records,
I would like the name of the next of kin.

It was coming to us now.

Oh, you mean you want the names
and ages of my children?

No, madam. I thought I made myself clear.

I want the name of the responsible adult
who was accompanying you for my records.

We have no kin on the wagon.

Where are you from?

I'm from Boston.

My husband was from Sweden.

Well, then, give me the name of the
can you expect to be with

when you get to your destination?

We have no family in the West.

Madam.

Am I to understand that you and seven
children with the youngest handicapped

are continuing on to the West Coast
without having anybody to rely on

in case of trouble?

That's right, Doctor.

If you'll forgive me for saying so.

I don't think
this is any of your business.

It is my business.

As long as you're in my office

as a patient now, you can walk out of here
and disregard everything I have to say,

but I'm going to say it.

Do you think you can have your baby out
there on the prairie like an Indian alone?

Do you think you've been fair
to your children?

Taking them so far from civilization?

Nothing is going to happen, Doctor.

As for

having a baby, my daughter is woman enough

and my sons are adult enough to help me

as much as as midwives with superstitions.

Madam.

Not only as a doctor, but as a friend,

I ask you to reconsider this foolhardy
plan of yours.

Stay here in Dodge City,

at least for a while,
and I'll do everything I can to help you.

Doctor.

Do I have to worry about my unborn child?

You need not concern yourself
about your unborn child.

Then there is nothing more
we need to discuss.

I believe that is correct.

Good day, Doctor.

Seven.

And so have our man, Pamela.

That's what I come here for.

And I have to Panama.

Boy Major.

Mr. Lister, once he knows you finished
the doctor name. Right.

I'll sort his Taser plans.
You don't want to stay in town overnight.

He wants to go back in
right away to Panama.

Came up
and she said to get you right away.

What do I. Our

snake eyes got about you.

Get out of here.

Go back and tell her you couldn't find me.

Yes, sir.

You wouldn't miss

it. Really?

All right, Ice

man. A woman came into town
today off the wagon train.

Seven at the hotel. Where's the man?

That's a dog's name is Adams.

Major
Adams. He's the boss of the wagon train.

Find a drink? No, Sam.

Thanks for the information.

Come to 6 p.m..

I told you to tell me
you. Couldn't find me.

Come on in. That I talk to you.

Mister.

I don't know what your game is, but

why don't you try to sell me something
a little.

Bit later on? A little bit later?
What to do?

I want to talk to you right now.

Well, go ahead and talk.

Come on in.
I'm a doctor. Dr. Vincent Monroe.

How do you, Doc?
How are you, Mr. Lynch? I want.

This admission.

He was in to see me,
and I want to talk to you

in my office.

I guess

he's in jail. Mr.

Mrs. Lindstrom? Yes?

I couldn't find a major man.

How could you not find anything
in the Palace Saloon?

I looked. Honestly ain't there.

When I saw him go into the saloon.

I know he's there.

Why? Later.

Right here.

There was a man in here by the name Adams.

Where did he go?

I don't know. No Adams, ma'am. Nonsense.

If a man has silver in his pockets,
you know his name?

Yes, ma'am.

That's better.

Now, I want you to find Major Adams
and tell him he's not ready to leave.

In an hour, Mrs.

Lindstrom is returning
to the wagon train by herself.

Thank you.

What happened to

Major at the 21 Major Adams w*r?

I ain't going to tell you
nothing about my customers.

Don't you know that bartenders
are sworn to secrecy just like a doctor?

I know that.

Thank.

Under the circumstances, I thought
it would be quite ethical to tell you.

Besides, I had no other choice.

What did you do, doc?

How'd you tell her?

Mrs. Lindstrom?

Only one of the doctor for assurance
that you need not worry

about our next child
having the same afflictions as our last.

But you did tell her.

I answered a question with a truth
and a lie at the same time.

I told her that you need not be concerned
about our unborn

child.

Doctor, is there any possible chance
that you could be wrong?

No. You

see, there are two courses
open to a doctor in a situation like this.

One is to tell the patient
and the other is to spare them

the mental grief as long as possible.

I need your advice on this case
because I don't know Mrs.

Windsor
well enough to make the decision alone.

Don't.

From what I know of this woman,

believe me, I know her.

There's only one thing to do.

You've got to tell her.
And you've got to tell her right now.

Thank you, Major. That's what I think

I needed.

Your reassurance.

It would be cruel to be wrong.

If you will ask Mrs.

Leadsom to come to my office
in the morning, I'll tell her.

Thank you, Doctor.

You know Miss Leisure.

You don't know that Major like I do.

You just don't take kindly to people
making plans for a mental illness

before me. And.
All right, now, if you knew, I'd help

you. Almost here.

Yeah.

Oh, boost her.

Oh, I told you.

Whoa,

Lucy, get out.

Of that wagon. Yes, sure.

You take this horse out.

See you back in cash. Yes.

Oh! Oh, Major, Put all the blame on me.

Mr. Wooster had no choice.

I made him come.

I'd be truly sorry
if any of my doings ruined a friendship.

Ma'am, don't you ever tell him.

And I boiled him in oil
if he hadn't helped you.

All right, My.

Oh, Major, do we have to go back to town?

I want so much to get home
to the children.

O'Malley, there's one more thing we.

All right,

All right, honey.

Hey, Hilary.

You know, I searched everywhere for you.

I went places a lady shouldn't go.

But it just so happens.

Ma'am,
I was having a talk with Dr. Monroe.

Well,

that's
one place I would never have thought

of looking for you in a million years.

Dr. Monroe,

I know he didn't have anything
nice to say about me.

Oh, it's not true, ma'am. Oh.

The doctor says that everything
will be all right

with my baby.

Fine,

Major.

It seems to me that you're unduly quiet.

Are you annoyed with me
for changing my mind and

and insisting we go back to tonight?

For some silly reason,
I couldn't stand not seeing the children

for another minute.

Can you understand that?

Yes, ma'am, I suppose I can.

Besides,

it's such a lovely night.

It would have been so hot and stuffy
in the hotel room.

So nice and balmy out here.

It's just a perfect night.

You really should be thankful to me.

I probably saved you lots of money.

I would have stayed up all night gambling.

Then you would have been mad as a wet hen

tomorrow when you had to drive all day
long in the hot sun

without any sleep.

Oh, without any money.

Harrison.

I suppose that would.

Oh, that.

I'm going to have a drink here.

Maybe you'd like to get down there.

Yes. Thank you.

We've come a good distance.

We can't be far from the wagon train.

No, we're not.

We're half an hour.

I should say, are by sunup.

Oh, how very nice.

I particularly look forward
to seeing the sun come up

this morning.

Major Adams, is something troubling you.

Know, when you came in the saloon
looking for me,

I wasn't hiding.

I was with Dr. Monroe.

I know. You told me.

The doctor asked me to his office.

He wanted to talk to me.

Are you keeping something from me?

Did the doctor tell you something

about me? Yes.

Yes, he did.

He also asked me a question.

He asked me
if I thought he should tell you.

And I told him I thought he should

know.

It looks like I've got to tell you myself,

this is the toughest job

I ever had to do in my life.

Mrs. Lindstrom,

you're not going to have a child.

The doctor told me that he found a large

and deadly growth and.

How much time?

How much time did he say?

I would have to live.

Five or six weeks,

maybe less.

He was sure.

He was sure.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

And life gave me

I. Maybe

I must see the children.

I have so much to do.

I'll take you of town
and I will get the children.

No, no.

Get back to the wagon train,
Mrs. Lindstrom.

I can have in town a few short hours.

Then I'll go get the kids in the wagon.
I'll bring them to you.

Isn't that more sensible?

Please take me back to the wagon train.

Didn't the doctor

think anything could be done?

I need your help.

I do everything I can.

I mustn't tell anyone.

I want the children to hear it
first from me.

To where I am now.

Tell nobody.

And so that's all I know about it.

Doctor
Monroe is a good doctor and a good man,

and there's no reason not to believe him
completely.

And we must face the truth.

They have another one of those family
powwows like you were talking about.

How long are we going to wait for him?

I don't know how long.
We're going to wait.

We may have to rot here.

As far as I know, this man.

Your own gold. Our own business. Yes, sir.

Now, tell me,

do you understand exactly what I've said?

Margaret?

Who's going to take care of us?

Well, it's very important that we find

an answer to that question.

What do you think we can do?

Stick. I'll take care of all of us.

I know you and Ina

are both almost grown up,
and it's a very good idea,

but I'm not sure it's the best idea.

We should find foster parents.

Nobody would want all of us.

We could find one home for the boys

and one for the girls. No,

I think it'd be a better idea if no more
than two of us work with one family.

That'll be hard enough.

That's very practical thinking.

How do you find foster parents?

They have a home in Boston
that the kids live in till someone.

Takes them out.

I know the place is just like a jail.

I don't want to go to jail.

See how smart you are, Lynn.

You've upset Margareta.

Mother,
we can't even get to Boston before.

Do you think Dutch City will have
enough families to take care of us?

Oh, I think it would be very difficult.

In Dodge City.

You see, we don't know anybody there
and they don't know us.

We should stay with the wagon train.

We know everybody,
the families, the children.

And they know if we were to tell them
our problem, I'm sure they'd help us.

Inger, That's a good idea.

If we stay with the wagon
train, we'll still see the ocean.

I think you should see the ocean. Margate.

I think you should all look as far ahead.

As far across horizon as you can.

If you look a big way, you be big people.

If you look a little way,

you will be unhappy little people.

I want to be real big.

I bet I could live with Mr. Meacher.

He's a real nice man and I know he'd
like a boy because he only has two girls.

I like the crowded family.

I think we're ready to make some plans.

These are very important plans
and I don't want to rush you,

but the wagon train is waiting to move
and there are other people to consider.

So let's decide

in the.

We should stay with the wagon train and
make our homes with the people we know.

Stick. I think that's the best idea.

Learned.

The people on the train are nicer
than the people in the city.

I think we should stay with them.

Britt I'm really not afraid of Indians.

Margaret I want to see the ocean.

Margareta

I don't want to go back to the city.

They left it.

BO And now the lamp it all of us.

Stig When you go into a major

Adams, the Lindstrom
staying with the wagon train.

Yes, Mother. Oh.

Thank him for his patience.

Tell him we're ready to move.

I think we should keep
this problem in the family.

You see, if people knew,
they might accept you out of.

Out of pity.

You must search for love, not pity.

So let's keep it a family secret.

Major Adams

mother want you to know our plans?

We're staying with the wagon train.

She wants me to
thank you for your patience.

And she said to tell you not to wait on us
any longer.

We're ready to go.

All right.

I'll be

right.

You. Come on, my brother.

Whatever, girl,

put on your.

I didn't even try to argue with him
this time.

I felt that they were right all the way.

Whether I liked it or not.

I was in the family's confidence.

I knew their plans.

I knew the children were searching
for foster homes

for themselves
among the wagon train families.

And I knew that, guided by Mrs.

Lindstrom, they would find
the right family for each child.

The only thing I didn't know,
and I thought

polygamy was what was to become of

who was going to take care
of a little boy.

I wondered how this woman,
who seemed to be able to overcome

any obstacle, was going to overcome

the future for that little fellow of.

Our family planet.

And I paid the stamp to do this for us.

Isn't that right, Leonard?

Mr. Stanford has bad
rheumatism in his back, and he told me

that he didn't know how he got along
without my helping him with chores.

Keeps wanting me to take money.

I think the

Sanfords will be real nice
foster parents for Margaret and me.

I'll talk to the Sanfords.

I'm pleased you chose them.

I think they'll be very good to you both.

And so arrangements have been made
for India, Steig, Margareta,

and now at the Sanfords adopt
you and Lynnette.

We'll all know where we're going

except for Bo,

my precious Bo

children.

You must get ready for bed.

In your new.

What's happened?

Why are you treating me
like I did something wrong?

All right.

Maybe I did.

If I did, I don't know what it is.

I'll apologize anyway.

Honestly,
you've been like a stranger for days.

Look, if you don't like me anymore,
just tell me.

I promise not to trouble you.

If you weren't such a baby, you'd have
enough decency to at least answer me.

That's what you're acting like.

Just like a baby
with no tongue. Leave me alone.

And you ought to do me a favor.

Please

tell your mother
I'd like to talk to her alone.

Tell her I wait for out here.

Thank you.

And you?

Hey, what's the matter with you?

But you kind of look like a sick calf.

I am sick, Major.

I'm sick and tired of the way
he's been treating me.

The whole Lindstrom family's.

Carrying on like the rest of the people
on a train. Or feuding.

With them or picking friends and
sighs like there's going to be open w*r.

You better mind your tongue, boy.

Your temper, too.

I'm not busting your ear.

You won't be able to judge people
so loosely for a while.

Will you Do me a favor, Major Adams?

I'll do nothing
unless you change your manner.

Well, you telling

either me.

My apologies, Mrs.

Nystrom, for not coming straight to you.

But what I have to say to you,
I didn't want anyone else to hear.

There are no apologies needed, Major.

I just wanted you to know
that I have no worries about your children

being welcomed into the homes
of their foster parents.

You know, there's a lot of nice people
on this wagon train.

You're going to be eternally grateful
to you

for entrusting
the care of your children to them now.

Thank you. I hoped it would be so.

Otherwise we wouldn't have burdened you
by staying with the train.

But you didn't call me out here
to talk about that, did you?

No, Mama, I didn't.

It was, like I said,

a lot of nice people on this train,
but they're practical people

to getting settled in their new homes
and all that sort of thing.

And, well,
what I'd like to say to you is that

I don't
think you should blame them too much.

If you want to know
who's going to take my seventh child.

That's right.

I've been afraid to ask myself
that question,

let alone you.

But we've done pretty

well so far, facing the issues
and squarely as they come up.

I see no reason
why we shouldn't go whole hog.

I don't know.

I just don't know.

And he needs more love and care

than all the others.

You said you'd help me.

You said you'd do anything.

What can I do, Mrs.

Lindstrom?

You want me to take a bow?

You want me to raise him?

I saw him. Now

I've thought about it seriously.

Believe me.

How can a man who lives on
a different piece of ground

every day of his life raise a child?

It just won't work.

I'm sorry, Mrs..

This time it won't work.

But I can guarantee you one thing.

This is why I've asked you out here
to talk to me.

Maybe this will give you
some peace of mind.

I'll take the little fellow

and I'll put him in the best school
I can find

if he ever has to be brought it out.

I look in on him just as often as I can,

and I promise you,
you never want for money

or anything else that I can give.

Give for your love.

If you can't give him that,
we don't want anything from you.

As for a school or boarding him out,

I'd rather see him dead.

By the time

we had traveled a few more miles
and a few more days had gone by.

I was growing desperate.

I couldn't forget the words Mrs.

Lindstrom spoken.

I'd rather see him dead.

I knew that she had made all of
the adoption for the other children.

If there was anything sad about a mother
having to give away her children,

it was lost in the bigger problem

of what was to become of the one
she couldn't give away.

Mrs. Lindstrom
Time was running out and so was mine.

I just had to make a decision.

The buffalo is a species of warlocks

that is found only in North America. See?

Oh, my.

That doesn't look like them.

All it does to its long shaggy

mane, gives it a heavy hair and is Mrs.

Nystrom.

May I come in?

Of course, Major.

Come, I.

I'd like to talk to you. I.

It occurs to me that

maybe this is none of my business.

I don't know.

But if you think I'm talking out of turn,
please talk to me.

But something has occurred to me that.

That makes me think that I've found
the solution to all of our problems.

And it's so close.

It's right under our noses.

With all your troubles, Mrs.

Nystrom, you may not have noticed
that your young daughter, younger here,

is sufficiently grown up to accept
the serious attentions of a young man.

I don't see that
that's any of your business, Major Adams.

Besides, if there was anything between
Fix and me, it's all over with.

That's not what Fitz told me.

Now, what could he have told you?

Well, he.

He told me that he loved you
and he wanted you to marry him.

Oh, that's not true, Mommy.

He never asked me to marry him.

He never even told me he loved me.

Honest, Mommy.

Well,

what kind of a young man is this
who tells you

he loves India, wants to marry her,
but doesn't tell India?

He's a very fine
young man, Mrs. Lindstrom.

Strong, healthy, capable.

And I assure you he's able to take her.

While the only reason that he hasn't asked
India before is because that right

from the first when you told your family
what was ahead of them

in your thought
that she must give up everything.

Is this true, India?

Yes. My who?

What difference does it make? How?

Oh, it could make a lot of difference.

I'm truly sorry I wasn't the mommy.

You needed to help you
through your first love.

I ask you to forgive me.

I love you so much.

Do you love Fitz?

That is his name, isn't it?

James Fitzpatrick?

Yes. I love him.

Very, very much.

If he were to ask you,
would you marry him?

Mrs. Lindstrom,
I'm afraid I broke my promise to you.

I had to tell you, Patrick.

He was so lovesick.

And if I hadn't have told him he'd left
this train.

We'd never seen hi to home again.

I didn't want him to leave.

And go until he knew exactly why
you had treated him as you had.

He didn't go away.

No, no, he hasn't gone away.

As a matter of fact, I think he's probably

walking up and down
just outside this wagon waiting for you.

But he wanted me to say

he said, Major,

please ask her

if she would please become my wife.

And he wanted you to bring with you
a dowry.

And that dowry is to be

a little boy

so that he can grow up
with the rest of the Fitzpatricks.

I owe him.

What should I do?

Yes, I think. Yes.

Then yes. Grant. Yes, Maggie.

Yes, Margaret, Get me to

get life.

His real life is earnest
and the grave is not very good.

The start to dusty tourists was not spoken

of the soul.

No wagon train

over the river there, no grass.

A little over a month
where the look has gone

aboard my in the weather train
through the Lord.

We stay together side by side.

No more wagons for

wagons for.

Oh, and a passenger in a winter wonderland
present.

We're going to sit down
looking for it. Oh,

looking for a g*n.

It can be pretty if you run it.

All the wagons for

wagon.

Oh, God.

To keep them on the long ride

to go and follow the So

one lone wagon

Never happens.

Captain of a General Stone.

Won't get a verdict on that.

Nor the board.

And the weather. Plain to the.

Road.

Chris lay together side by side.

The while.
