a girl can't afford being apeady these days
apeady?

independent
I hope you don't aim turning him down
when he proposes to you
if he proposes
help me with the baggage
you'd better stay where you are
and mind you manners
You are in a big city now,
It's full of people
how do you mean Mr. Brown?
I mean sick fellows
They ran just to help pretty girls
And then asked them if they
have met her some place before
You are demand to resist temptation and,
resist it strong
But if i resist too strong,
he might never come back again

Which I might say, it's quite considerable
Well, thank you Tom
with a davensport in a grace, the
candidateship is already promissing
the davensport?
How did you ever get to davensport?
I came to lincoln last summer
That gave the idea that I come to

Oh yes, Trix Parker

Tom is engaged?
Since last june

diaphragm, not your chest
Well, I guess that's all for today suzzy
You are improving
You have done too much for suzzy's voice
Will she be able to sing real songs too?

He is quite popular

very beautiful Miss Milton

Tom is a brother to you,
and It's so true
These are the best cake
Who is your caterer?
Me
You?
You made them?
Polly, you do everything so well
I can't even roast an egg
You suppose, that's why Mr. Sydney
doesn't declare himself
because you grow stakes?
I'm sure it is
Francis
Do you mean he's never...
No, not one proposal
Oh, he calls
He's so mysterious
He never tells me where he goes
or who he sees
or what he does
He can be so charming and so infuriating
He's been wonderful to me
By the day I arrive
He drove off just by accident ofcourse
And helped Mr. Brown take
all things back to the house
He did?
well
I just know about that
But really Polly, I didn't come
here to discuss Mr.sydney with you
I've set the party date

You should look at my dress,
I have made it madam suviet
It's on the bed
It's beautiful material, and You

Of course I had to wear pink
You might not understand
why I have to wear pink
you see Trix and I
was going to wear green
and she's got a blue dress and told me that
it was the reason that we had so much together
Wasn't it too sweet of it?
Well Bell came and told me that i have to wear Pink

very interesting
Dear Francis you look charming
I'm so happy you invited me
It's nice to have you here James
And you too Bill
This is Polly Milton
You remember her ofcourse
Oh yes I remember
That was ourChild days wasn't it?
I think we have got a dance
You remember the ride Bill
You and Tom and the rest of the
crowed over on Prospec hill
We had such fun
THat was when you came up
from the farm? Wasn't It
Do you still live there?
Well yes
I like this new dance, don't you Bill
I'm afraid i don't particularly
care for modern music
It was delight to see you again
Now, If you are excuse me
May I
I see you have a new servant
No, that's Polly, You remember
I've told you about her
Oh, the girl who works
How amusing
What's so amusing about it
This is 1870
By time we will began thinking about
taking their place in this world
A hater girl like Polly needs a pacemaker
And what Polly need is a dress maker
I think giving singing lessons is a lot of fun
And I believe Polly gives the
finest singing lessons in the city
I always had to know she had a voice instruction
was given by the finest office support
Now that i have think of it, I'm
giving my first dance next week
I expect you all to be there
Marry Jane
Rodney
Bill
Emma, George
June
and youu too Rick
Bill, this is our dance remember
What about...
I love modern music
I'm so glad they are playing it for us
It isn't you Polly
It's the Idea of working
Polly
Would you mind helping
me with the punch please
Young lady, may we have some punch?
Of course
Polly
May i present Miss parker, My fiance
Trix, Mys cousin
Miss Milton
Oh, Tom has been telling
me how clever you are
He says you do everything
Play, sing, give vocal lessons, bake cake
No doubt you do your own washing
Trix
Pickle
Oh I'm sorry, but next dance is taken
Francis you have to ...
don't worry
Who?
Mr. sydney?
You think, I am waiting for him?
you are making a mistake
I only have 4 dances on a day
Perhaps Polly and I can have this next dance
while you are refreshing yourself Trix
We have danced 7 dances already
Oh I would love to
I am sure you would,
This is a waltz darling, not a country square dance
THen of course you wouldn't know
I beg your pardon Miss
Why Miss Polly I didn't know you for a moment
How are you
Since we are old friends, How
about a littlr walk around the squer?
Might worl for that headache
You must be chilliy
You'd better wear this
Thank you
Perhaps the orchestra is
responsible for your headache
Some of our music has become very loud
It could be this modern tunes
Oh no
as a matter of fact, I teach a very late
His songs, I'm getting
So, he goes there just by accident, ha?
What was that all about
Some times Francis puzzles me
They say we had aunt Anton began that way
she was bady
You know I was almos become
jealous of that country girl
imagine
Me, jelous of that snow cone
Polly may be from the country
side, but she is still pretty smart
Of course he is dear
smart enough to know her place
no dout that she has left
the party and went home
I'm not so sure
She is back and with Mr. sydney
Well Tom
Perhaps now, You will have
some time for your fiance
Tomas
Ok
Oh Polly, cookie?
No thanks
I'll have one later
well than you
Francis expected you earlier Mr. sydney
It's my fault Mrs. shaw
I met him at the door
and we went for a walk
Did you?
Fsncy had to go upstaris and lie down
You know she is the
delicate one in our family
She is?
I always thought she was
the most indelicate one
Molly
I mean your sister had a very bad headache
They must be catching
She wouldn't catch one
Father was saying she never catch anything
I have never said anything of that kind
- a cookie
- No

Tom

Tom had the torpedo on professor puterschmit's Laps chair
and it exploded before tom could get away
And it burns that
Molly

This is serious
What ever would your father
say, when he gets that letter
It's on the table now, mother
You suppose me hide it ...
I take it and ...
That is ...
not say anything
disassemble
to your father?
I never have
but
in some circumstances
Here is the mail Monsieur

Good evening sir
You aret looking uncommonly well
thank you
- Oh Edward dear, I can see you the afternoon mail
- What?
well Here
keep the ledger
I have to look at the Manchore report
I'll be in the library
well
a letter from Polly
Not one word of an apology
an invitation to the miles play
sounds horrifying
Bravo
Bravo
- I think you are...
- Thank you Tom, I mean it
Where is Trix?
we does ever I guess
No she is not, she is getting ...
I'm getting a stopper for you
If I can find big enough
Polly
could I...
Could I ask you something?
something interesting
Yes
does cheeks have paint
I mean here
all the girls paint parts these days
They darken their lashes with bords hair pins
or take colone and lumps of sugar
and brighten up their eyes with ...
You don't say
Oh but I do
Well I'm positive you don't
use any of that humbug
You see I was right
What did I do Now?
Lovely girl
The shoulders are so expressive
too bad though
They seem to carry so many chips
If I do no one would
know but my own
I was talking about
the painting actually
It is quite a nice canvas
Yes
The canves is the best part about it
Don't act to superior
we are unsure of ourselves
You should be surest girl on the world
Those pretty eyes
cute little nose
and nice little chin
But my face really need diagraming
Your face doesn't need anything
come on now confess that girls
really do commendable work
We can do just as commendable
work on our sweing circle
Oh, that, I hardley admit that
Now you admit down on your heart
You honestly admire the girls
the praise is for Polly Milton
Really Mr. sydney? I'm not in the
least interested in any of them
and now if you are excuse me
I'll go find Tom and Molly
I still think those
shoulders are pretty
You...
I really dont feel like on
I heard terrible gossips
every sweing circle is
Just remember Ena Dave have invited you
she is chairman now, not Francis
nice to
Most important reason
why you should go isJane
if you can make it work
it means everything
I'm sorry
I've just been selfish
Of course I'll go
That's more like it
now lets see how beautiful you look
Hello Jane
Hello Polly
How do you feel
Much better
Well
Here it is
Oh Polly that dress looks beautiful on you
Thanks to your limbo fingers
I was glad I can do something for you
Your handsome is waiting Polly
You'd better hurry along
I'll tell you all about it whan I get back
It's a pretty material
It must be wonderful to be invited to a tea party
Boston's tea parties can somtumes be surprising
I'm so happy you could Polly
You know all te girls ofcourse
Yes, I do
Good afternoon
Oh Polly
This is Mrs. Perkins
She distributes our sewing line
How do you do Mrs. Perkkins
What kind of a dress
would ou start off
I think I like to make an
unbleached cotton shirts
Cotton?
Yes
I always find cotton shirts
up in front, don't youu?
Do you mean for my first choice?
Then i purchase a shomiz
that is always silk
But ...
Here you are if you
want to work with cotton
Did you know that Joe Salten drank
so much champagne at Croses Party?
They had to send him
home with two servants
- You don't mean it?
- I had ...
She didn't allow us to
dance with Tom last night
Not even me, the hostess
I don't believe you dedn't
take your chances abella
But you did with Judit last year
Girls
We are at work
I have planss
Why don't we all take work home
So it won't interfere with our gossip
no
I have tto engage extra seamstress
and the prices they charge
If you don't mind, I have an idea
- There is a girl, her name is Jane...
- Allright Trix, do you know the last thing thing that I had...
charged 50cents a day, imagine!
The servants are so expensive
and they are all alike
But if they bend our waistes
properly, we wouldnt mind
But when you cook gets a boned like
yours and wears it in front of you
We are working for charity
Personaly I think It's too much charity
We wouldn't made them poor
that have to look after themselves
But you are all wrong
There can't be enough charity
well I declared
I'm sorry but i have to differ with you
And I am so sorry nearsighted you
have to use those funny spectacles
Well
- I still say I am very sorry but ...
- But as long as you say it I won't disagree
Maybe you are just sorry for a person
You are
You were saying you had
an Idea Polly, about ...
Yes
About a girl named Jane Brant
She couldn't make enough money to live these days
She tried to do away with herself
She is a wonderful seamstress
She made this new dress
and She does need help
So
I will
If the sewing circle could
send some work to her
I second that emotion
All in favor
I
carried
Thank you
You are so naive Francis
If you have serious competitions,
Make friend with them, you see
No I don't
Polly will win your man, whatever
methods that are experient
You will keep your friends harmless
Precisely
by the way, I'm going
to new york for a week
Do you like me to do some shopping for you?
I have seen some exquisite new models at AT store
that you simply can't find anywhere
Oh Tom
Tom I have a surprise for you
Surprise?
You are taking Polly to Opra on friday night
I am? I mean
I am
Where am I going to get the money?
This is my treat
see, we have been mean to Polly andd
I think we all have to make amends
- You are available
- Oo You sound too noble
I kinda like to see Polly again
Who is going to scort you?
Nobody
I wanna have a nice friendly evening with Polly
and having a man along with esporly
Yes, having a man ...
Say, wait a minute I'm a man
huh
There is a good answer to
that, I'm think of tomorrow
This is my first Opra
I'm so excited
An excellent vintage
But it tickles my nose
Well, that isn't the vintage Polly
It's because of the bow
bubbles
What did you think of the Opra Tom?
I think Opras are ridiculous
Not if you look at It
romantically, like I do
I'm Kinda used to people telling romantic secrets
than talk about love
- That's because you have more common sense than ...
- Romance?
Thank you
You kow, I didnt
mind it seems silly
I really wanted to go back stage
and comfort that broken hearted girl
I bet Tena was a jack not to see that she adored him
In real life we don't have anything like that
Polly seems that woman are talked
to hide their real feelings
some women
but not Polly
Oh but you don't know
Oh, he is right
Imagine Polly walking about Paris with
her back head lamenting a dumb lover
No
She would let concesl the tears
down her cheeks and still smile on
Cause I just read a new novel
Or she turn a sister of charity and ...
and nurse this stupid
rests throw a smallpox
or some such contagious disease
and then die beautifully
To the music of distant violines
leaving him to suffer the agony
of remorse of love, but ...
It's too late
I read that too
No
Much too dramatic for me, I'll get over it
Being disappointed in
love make a woman pol
or an old me
There is this possibility Polly
bein either pol or an old me
If I know my Polly
Is that Francis?
I'm afraid i have to
break up this Polly thing
It's getting late and Polly still
teaches in the morning, You know
Thank you for reminding me Francis
I was forgetting
It was a delightful supper
Thank you Francis
Oh, Thanks Tom
He was the host
It was a great honor to be included
May I scort you home Miss Polly
Thank you, but i came with Tom
Frank, Good night
Good night Mr. sydney
Good night Polly
Good night
Good night
Good night
Tom?
May I have the program from the Opra?
Certainly
Nice
Good night
Tom?
My Purse
The key
Yes
May I?
Good night
Can I have the key?
Tom?
Is it the programs?
Thanks Polly
It's a letter from Trix
She'll be back tomorrow
How nice you look dear
Of course
Oh, Mrs. Miles
Yes
Mr. sydney might call
If he does, you don't know where I am
What's the matter?
You two haven't had ...
No
It's
Well, I just have decided to avoid him
Avoid him?
Because he is kind, and polite
and handsome and well off
and can do more for you than
any man you have ever met?
I know
It wouldn't be easy to turn him down
But I don't think, I should see him anymore
May be you're right
Smart girls do run away from men
and keep ride on running away from them
Until they catch you
Francis is running much faster
Perhaps
But after all
He is nice
O he is pooffly nice
Only I
I'd better hurry since you
changed the time of the lessons
I may take a walk parklet later
such a beautiful day
Alright you
Good afternoon Mr. sydney
Good afternoon
Is Miss Polly in?
No, She isn't Mr. sydney
Polly's is gone over an hour ago
Oh, That's a surprise
Perhaps I can meet her on the way back,
You know where she went?
To one of her pupils
But which pupil?
Mr. Sydney I said she is gone,
would be impossible for you to say which pupil
I think she on her way home by now
to the park
The park?
Thank you
She has a green parasol
Miss Polly!
Mr. sydney
I can't imagne we are
meeting like thid in the park
Why imagine it?
It's true
In a day like this,
everybody are in the park
There should be a law
What I meant was that ...
I hardley ever come to the park anymore
I used to, but ...
You know
always
You are a very progressive girl Polly
I wonder how moder
your thinking really is
Let's sit down just for a moment
Have you seen Francis lately?
No
Not since the Opra
You see I'm very progressive too
She is a wonderfuly nice girl
Oh yes, she quite a superior sort of person
very superior
Not as liberative as you
you and I
liberative?
You know
I'm going to be out of
town for several weeks
going to New york
Have you ever been to New york?
No, I haven't
Oh, It's a wonderful city
Travel?
That's a thing for
a progressive girl
Mr. sydney
Why don't you marry Francis?
Honestly, under that
superior mask she puts on...
There is something very real, honest and fine
And she does love you
aren't you?
Mr. sydney?
Isn't that Tom Shaw coming along?

Not because of your 600 dollars?
NO, of course not
It's the shore father works in, thay are all gone
But how?
Bankrupt?

I think your father's right
Both of you will work your way out
You stay here, I'll go

Looks like the Oscar said goodbye
Molly
At a time like this, How could you?

Francis there are some happily
married couples in all walks of life
And a beautiful girl like you

I don't really blame
sydney for prefering you
Mr. sydney doesn't prefer me
I happen to be the only one who seems
interesting to what he has to see
I have been a snob, haven't I?
I'm sure, It hasn't fool Mr. Sydney
He is in love with a real girl, I know it
Polly I have been so silly
Come in

look into a rich family like young Tom shaw
I'm not looking for wealth Mr. Brown
I have other plans
such as...?
They are secret
Well don't mind me Miss Mouvy
but you are pretty spunky
a girl can't afford being apeady these days
apeady?
yeah ... you know ...
independent
I hope you don't aim turning him down
when he proposes to you
if he proposes
help me with the baggage
you'd better stay where you are
and mind you manners
You are in a big city now,
It's full of people
how do you mean Mr. Brown?
I mean sick fellows
They ran just to help pretty girls
And then asked them if they
have met her some place before
You are demand to resist temptation and,
resist it strong
But if i resist too strong,
he might never come back again
yes
well, well
in that case ... just ...
Stay in the phaeton
oh, thank you gentlemen,
I can take care of this
Thank you, thank you very much gentlemen
But I'll handle this
Thank you

and It's so true
These are the best cake
Who is your caterer?
Me
You?
You made them?
Polly, you do everything so well
I can't even roast an egg
You suppose, that's why Mr. Sydney
doesn't declare himself
because you grow stakes?
I'm sure it is
Francis
Do you mean he's never...
No, not one proposal
Oh, he calls
He's so mysterious
He never tells me where he goes
or who he sees
or what he does
He can be so charming and so infuriating
He's been wonderful to me
By the day I arrive
He drove off just by accident ofcourse
And helped Mr. Brown take
all things back to the house
He did?
well
I just know about that
But really Polly, I didn't come
here to discuss Mr.sydney with you

Of course I had to wear pink
You might not understand
why I have to wear pink

Wasn't it too sweet of it?

Dear Francis you look charming
I'm so happy you invited me
It's nice to have you here James
And you too Bill
This is Polly Milton
You remember her ofcourse
Oh yes I remember
That was ourChild days wasn't it?
I think we have got a dance
You remember the ride Bill
You and Tom and the rest of the
crowed over on Prospec hill
We had such fun
THat was when you came up
from the farm? Wasn't It
Do you still live there?
Well yes
I like this new dance, don't you Bill
I'm afraid i don't particularly
care for modern music
It was delight to see you again
Now, If you are excuse me
May I
I see you have a new servant
No, that's Polly, You remember
I've told you about her
Oh, the girl who works
How amusing
What's so amusing about it
This is 1870
By time we will began thinking about
taking their place in this world
A hater girl like Polly needs a pacemaker
And what Polly need is a dress maker
I think giving singing lessons is a lot of fun
And I believe Polly gives the
finest singing lessons in the city
I always had to know she had a voice instruction
was given by the finest office support
Now that i have think of it, I'm
giving my first dance next week
I expect you all to be there
Marry Jane
Rodney
Bill
Emma, George
June
and youu too Rick
Bill, this is our dance remember
What about...
I love modern music
I'm so glad they are playing it for us
It isn't you Polly
It's the Idea of working
Polly
Would you mind helping
me with the punch please
Young lady, may we have some punch?
Of course
Polly
May i present Miss parker, My fiance
Trix, Mys cousin
Miss Milton
Oh, Tom has been telling
me how clever you are
He says you do everything
Play, sing, give vocal lessons, bake cake
No doubt you do your own washing
Trix
Pickle
Oh I'm sorry, but next dance is taken
Francis you have to ...
don't worry
Who?
Mr. sydney?
You think, I am waiting for him?
you are making a mistake
I only have 4 dances on a day
Perhaps Polly and I can have this next dance
while you are refreshing yourself Trix
We have danced 7 dances already
Oh I would love to
I am sure you would,
This is a waltz darling, not a country square dance
THen of course you wouldn't know
I beg your pardon Miss
Why Miss Polly I didn't know you for a moment
How are you
Since we are old friends, How
about a littlr walk around the squer?
Might worl for that headache
You must be chilliy
You'd better wear this
Thank you
Perhaps the orchestra is
responsible for your headache
Some of our music has become very loud
It could be this modern tunes
Oh no
as a matter of fact, I teach a very late
His songs, I'm getting
So, he goes there just by accident, ha?
What was that all about
Some times Francis puzzles me
They say we had aunt Anton began that way
she was bady
You know I was almos become
jealous of that country girl
imagine
Me, jelous of that snow cone
Polly may be from the country
side, but she is still pretty smart
Of course he is dear
smart enough to know her place
no dout that she has left
the party and went home
I'm not so sure
She is back and with Mr. sydney
Well Tom
Perhaps now, You will have
some time for your fiance
Tomas

crazy prognostications

Do you remember why does

This Fellow has no future

Not so fast dear brother

March
You little wizzhle
March
Another word from instant, I'm
not blaming it to Sydney But...
Polly and her innocence has
more charm than she realises
I see exactly what happened
The sink is the trouble
and It wouldn't be so
bad, go behind ones back
Tom
- Is there something that matters?
- oh, well
oh what a night mother?
thank you
I have a feeling you are
trying to conceal something?
Molly, the heaen's sake
What are you giggling about?
Very funny
- It's abou Tom
- 75 cents
Tom had the torpedo on professor puterschmit's Laps chair
and it exploded before tom could get away
And it burns that
Molly
- and the dean is sending a letter here to father
- the dean
This is serious
What ever would your father
say, when he gets that letter
It's on the table now, mother
You suppose me hide it ...
I take it and ...
That is ...
not say anything
disassemble
to your father?
I never have
but
in some circumstances
Here is the mail Monsieur
thank you
Good evening sir
You aret looking uncommonly well
thank you
- Oh Edward dear, I can see you the afternoon mail
- What?
well Here
keep the ledger
I have to look at the Manchore report
I'll be in the library
well
a letter from Polly
Not one word of an apology
an invitation to the miles play
sounds horrifying
Bravo
Bravo
- I think you are...
- Thank you Tom, I mean it
Where is Trix?
we does ever I guess
No she is not, she is getting ...
I'm getting a stopper for you
If I can find big enough
Polly
could I...
Could I ask you something?
something interesting
Yes
does cheeks have paint
I mean here
all the girls paint parts these days
They darken their lashes with bords hair pins
or take colone and lumps of sugar
and brighten up their eyes with ...
You don't say
Oh but I do
Well I'm positive you don't
use any of that humbug
You see I was right
What did I do Now?
Lovely girl
The shoulders are so expressive
too bad though
They seem to carry so many chips
If I do no one would
know but my own
I was talking about
the painting actually
It is quite a nice canvas
Yes
The canves is the best part about it
Don't act to superior
we are unsure of ourselves
You should be surest girl on the world
Those pretty eyes
cute little nose
and nice little chin
But my face really need diagraming
Your face doesn't need anything
come on now confess that girls
really do commendable work
We can do just as commendable
work on our sweing circle
Oh, that, I hardley admit that
Now you admit down on your heart
You honestly admire the girls
the praise is for Polly Milton
Really Mr. sydney? I'm not in the
least interested in any of them
and now if you are excuse me
I'll go find Tom and Molly
I still think those
shoulders are pretty
You...
I really dont feel like on
I heard terrible gossips
every sweing circle is
Just remember Ena Dave have invited you
she is chairman now, not Francis
nice to
Most important reason
why you should go isJane
if you can make it work
it means everything
I'm sorry
I've just been selfish
Of course I'll go
That's more like it
now lets see how beautiful you look
Hello Jane
Hello Polly
How do you feel
Much better
Well
Here it is
Oh Polly that dress looks beautiful on you
Thanks to your limbo fingers
I was glad I can do something for you
Your handsome is waiting Polly
You'd better hurry along
I'll tell you all about it whan I get back
It's a pretty material
It must be wonderful to be invited to a tea party
Boston's tea parties can somtumes be surprising
I'm so happy you could Polly
You know all te girls ofcourse
Yes, I do
Good afternoon
Oh Polly
This is Mrs. Perkins
She distributes our sewing line
How do you do Mrs. Perkkins
What kind of a dress
would ou start off
I think I like to make an
unbleached cotton shirts
Cotton?
Yes
I always find cotton shirts
up in front, don't youu?
Do you mean for my first choice?
Then i purchase a shomiz
that is always silk
But ...
Here you are if you
want to work with cotton
Did you know that Joe Salten drank
so much champagne at Croses Party?
They had to send him
home with two servants
- You don't mean it?
- I had ...
She didn't allow us to
dance with Tom last night
Not even me, the hostess
I don't believe you dedn't
take your chances abella
But you did with Judit last year
Girls
We are at work
I have planss
Why don't we all take work home
So it won't interfere with our gossip
no
I have tto engage extra seamstress
and the prices they charge
If you don't mind, I have an idea
- There is a girl, her name is Jane...
- Allright Trix, do you know the last thing thing that I had...
charged 50cents a day, imagine!
The servants are so expensive
and they are all alike
But if they bend our waistes
properly, we wouldnt mind
But when you cook gets a boned like
yours and wears it in front of you
We are working for charity
Personaly I think It's too much charity
We wouldn't made them poor
that have to look after themselves
But you are all wrong
There can't be enough charity
well I declared
I'm sorry but i have to differ with you
And I am so sorry nearsighted you
have to use those funny spectacles
Well
- I still say I am very sorry but ...
- But as long as you say it I won't disagree
Maybe you are just sorry for a person
You are
You were saying you had
an Idea Polly, about ...
Yes
About a girl named Jane Brant
She couldn't make enough money to live these days
She tried to do away with herself
She is a wonderful seamstress
She made this new dress
and She does need help
So
I will
If the sewing circle could
send some work to her
I second that emotion
All in favor
I
carried
Thank you
You are so naive Francis
If you have serious competitions,
Make friend with them, you see
No I don't
Polly will win your man, whatever
methods that are experient
You will keep your friends harmless
Precisely
by the way, I'm going
to new york for a week
Do you like me to do some shopping for you?
I have seen some exquisite new models at AT store
that you simply can't find anywhere
Oh Tom
Tom I have a surprise for you
Surprise?
You are taking Polly to Opra on friday night
I am? I mean
I am
Where am I going to get the money?
This is my treat
see, we have been mean to Polly andd
I think we all have to make amends
- You are available
- Oo You sound too noble
I kinda like to see Polly again
Who is going to scort you?
Nobody
I wanna have a nice friendly evening with Polly
and having a man along with esporly
Yes, having a man ...
Say, wait a minute I'm a man
huh
There is a good answer to
that, I'm think of tomorrow
This is my first Opra
I'm so excited
An excellent vintage
But it tickles my nose
Well, that isn't the vintage Polly
It's because of the bow
bubbles
What did you think of the Opra Tom?
I think Opras are ridiculous
Not if you look at It
romantically, like I do
I'm Kinda used to people telling romantic secrets
than talk about love
- That's because you have more common sense than ...
- Romance?
Thank you
You kow, I didnt
mind it seems silly
I really wanted to go back stage
and comfort that broken hearted girl
I bet Tena was a jack not to see that she adored him
In real life we don't have anything like that
Polly seems that woman are talked
to hide their real feelings
some women
but not Polly
Oh but you don't know
Oh, he is right
Imagine Polly walking about Paris with
her back head lamenting a dumb lover
No
She would let concesl the tears
down her cheeks and still smile on
Cause I just read a new novel
Or she turn a sister of charity and ...
and nurse this stupid
rests throw a smallpox
or some such contagious disease
and then die beautifully
To the music of distant violines
leaving him to suffer the agony
of remorse of love, but ...
It's too late
I read that too
No
Much too dramatic for me, I'll get over it
Being disappointed in
love make a woman pol
or an old me
There is this possibility Polly
bein either pol or an old me
If I know my Polly
Is that Francis?
I'm afraid i have to
break up this Polly thing
It's getting late and Polly still
teaches in the morning, You know
Thank you for reminding me Francis
I was forgetting
It was a delightful supper
Thank you Francis
Oh, Thanks Tom
He was the host
It was a great honor to be included
May I scort you home Miss Polly
Thank you, but i came with Tom
Frank, Good night
Good night Mr. sydney
Good night Polly
Good night
Good night
Good night
Tom?
May I have the program from the Opra?
Certainly
Nice
Good night
Tom?
My Purse
The key
Yes
May I?
Good night
Can I have the key?
Tom?
Is it the programs?
Thanks Polly
It's a letter from Trix
She'll be back tomorrow
How nice you look dear
Of course
Oh, Mrs. Miles
Yes
Mr. sydney might call
If he does, you don't know where I am
What's the matter?
You two haven't had ...
No
It's
Well, I just have decided to avoid him
Avoid him?
Because he is kind, and polite
and handsome and well off
and can do more for you than
any man you have ever met?
I know
It wouldn't be easy to turn him down
But I don't think, I should see him anymore
May be you're right
Smart girls do run away from men
and keep ride on running away from them
Until they catch you
Francis is running much faster
Perhaps
But after all
He is nice
O he is pooffly nice
Only I
I'd better hurry since you
changed the time of the lessons
I may take a walk parklet later
such a beautiful day
Alright you
Good afternoon Mr. sydney
Good afternoon
Is Miss Polly in?
No, She isn't Mr. sydney
Polly's is gone over an hour ago
Oh, That's a surprise
Perhaps I can meet her on the way back,
You know where she went?
To one of her pupils
But which pupil?
Mr. Sydney I said she is gone,
would be impossible for you to say which pupil
I think she on her way home by now
to the park
The park?
Thank you
She has a green parasol
Miss Polly!
Mr. sydney
I can't imagne we are
meeting like thid in the park
Why imagine it?
It's true
In a day like this,
everybody are in the park
There should be a law
What I meant was that ...
I hardley ever come to the park anymore
I used to, but ...
You know
always
You are a very progressive girl Polly
I wonder how moder
your thinking really is
Let's sit down just for a moment
Have you seen Francis lately?
No
Not since the Opra
You see I'm very progressive too
She is a wonderfuly nice girl
Oh yes, she quite a superior sort of person
very superior
Not as liberative as you
you and I
liberative?
You know
I'm going to be out of
town for several weeks
going to New york
Have you ever been to New york?
No, I haven't
Oh, It's a wonderful city
Travel?
That's a thing for
a progressive girl
Mr. sydney
Why don't you marry Francis?
Honestly, under that
superior mask she puts on...
There is something very real, honest and fine
And she does love you
aren't you?
Mr. sydney?
Isn't that Tom Shaw coming along?
Oh yes, Now what is he doing here?
I have the same thought
Oh Tom
Tom, shouldn't you be at your classes?
Of course Polly
Good afternoon Mr. sydney
H guess I should be in class
Is you excuse me me Polly, There
is some packing i mmust attempt to
goodbye Mr. sydney
Take care of yourself Tom
I didn't want to say it infront of him, but ...
I have been expelled
Tom, Not really
sorry
I had a night watchman the other night,
I was on probation
So I'm out for good
Hate to think of what would they say, It's pretty bad
Yes it bad allright
But it could be wisening
besides I don't have a lot of money
father doesn't know about it
How much do you need?
Oh, That is a lot of money
I'm just saying,
You've got to tell your father about it
well, I can't face him wuith all that
Liten Polly
You and father always get along well
How about coming up to thr house with me,
maybe breking the news to them
Sort of...
gently pave the way
Tom
A man doesn't send a girl to get out of trouble
I'm sorry Polly, I'm ...
didn't meant exactly that way
I'll go and see
But
But if you dont mind, I ...
I wish you come with me
Just to be there
Of course I'll go with you
What did he say?
What did you tell?
Tom, What's the matter?
we are bankrupt
Not because of your 600 dollars?
NO, of course not
It's the shore father works in, thay are all gone
But how?
Bankrupt?
when did it happened?
It has been happening all along,
only he hadn't said anything to us
He has been fighting
it all along by himself
While the rest of the family have gone
all enjoying as usual, me especialy
I tell you Polly, I'm no good
Just no good
You can't go back in time
Don't self beat it
you didnt know about it
Mayb, It's not as bas as you think
We haven't anything left,
not anything
Does your mother know?
Or the girls
They are upstair, he hasn't told them yet
He is talking, It's better I'll tell them
what about
I mean, did you get a chance to
talk about what happened to you?
sure
He just sat and listened
All he have said was...
well son, we both had a little bad luck
But we work our way out of it
Tom
I think your father's right
Both of you will work your way out
You stay here, I'll go
up and tell your mother
Every one of our friends will drop
Just what they did when the Marik's father failed
I don't believe that Francis
Not your real friends
Oh Polly, You don't
understand how money talks
Looks like the Oscar said goodbye
Molly
At a time like this, How could you?
What do you think of my marriage
It perfect time now
They are ruined
Francis there are some happily
married couples in all walks of life
And a beautiful girl like you
could have any man she wants
I don't really blame
sydney for prefering you
Mr. sydney doesn't prefer me
I happen to be the only one who seems
interesting to what he has to see
I have been a snob, haven't I?
I'm sure, It hasn't fool Mr. Sydney
He is in love with a real girl, I know it
Polly I have been so silly
Come in
- Well dear, I ...
- I'm sure everything gonna tune up right Mr. Shaw
Is there any way I can help?
Does this mean we have to
live in shagony in Boston?
well, It's not as quite as bad as all that
because we have to leave this house
We move to a little place my grandmother
gave me, the credits are agreed today
you will have to do
the house keeping
Oh, and I will help with it
I have lost the time, but I'm so anxcious
to see Grandmother Shargo plays again
And I'll do all the cooking
cooking?
What can you cook?
Fudge
I don't know how much longer I can stand
this terrible existance on the edge
On the edge of nowhere
Why don't you children just
caugh me out, to be done with
Look mama

I love to wash
Burn the toast and dust
Stop with that horrible squish
I can't stand anything that is being squished
Especially dust
