Oh, Matthew. 11:44.000 --> 11:50.000 Why, that's the one thing in the whole wide world I always wanted to be. 11:56.000 --> 12:00.000 Matthew took his bride to Niagara Falls. 12:00.000 --> 12:05.000 There was only one thing, the bracelet. 12:05.000 --> 12:14.000 Matthew wondered what he could do about that. 12:16.000 --> 12:19.000 The little house was a white cottage, 12:19.000 --> 12:23.000 located pretty much by itself quite a distance from the plant. 12:23.000 --> 12:26.000 Sally had to walk a good way to see any of the people she used to know. 12:26.000 --> 12:28.000 How's married life, Sally? 12:28.000 --> 12:31.000 Oh, say, it's the grandest thing. 12:31.000 --> 12:35.000 You should come by and see it, pay us a social call. 12:35.000 --> 12:37.000 Yeah, I hear you got a nice place to live. 12:37.000 --> 12:39.000 Yeah, flowers and a tree. 12:39.000 --> 12:41.000 You simply got to come and see it. 12:41.000 --> 12:44.000 And the men and their wives at the plant did come and see it. 12:44.000 --> 12:47.000 They sat around the house and put their feet on things 12:47.000 --> 12:51.000 and spilled cigar ashes on the floor and talked loud and common. 12:51.000 --> 12:54.000 Matthew didn't say a word. He just sat and listened, 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 looked at the mess they'd made. 12:56.000 --> 13:01.000 It stayed a long time. Matthew thought they never would go. 13:01.000 --> 13:04.000 Now that you know the way, don't be strangers. 13:04.000 --> 13:05.000 Oh, don't worry. 13:05.000 --> 13:08.000 Yeah, we'll be back, Will.

Can't we have a party? Huh? 14:08.000 --> 14:17.000 Can't we go to other people's parties, then? Can't we do that? 14:24.000 --> 14:31.000 The yard grew up in weeds, and the flowers didn't do so well, and the tree didn't grow. 14:31.000 --> 14:35.000 Even the smoke from the plant seemed to find its way over to the house. 14:35.000 --> 14:41.000 The white got gray, and it got black in splotches, and the paint peeled. 14:41.000 --> 14:46.000 Matthew lived. Sally put on weight. 14:56.000 --> 14:58.000 See the pretty pink ribbon? I got to match my hair. 14:58.000 --> 15:02.000 The lady at the dime store said blonde hair got awful dingy looking, so I got this bottle of stuff. 15:02.000 --> 15:07.000 Only a dime. Look how brightens up the color of my hair. Huh? 15:07.000 --> 15:10.000 Oh, have a chocolate cream, Matthew. These creams come from the dime store, too. 15:10.000 --> 15:13.000 I can't even notice the difference from the ones you used to buy me. 15:13.000 --> 15:17.000 He walked away. He always walked away. 15:17.000 --> 15:22.000 He wanted to tell Sally how much he wanted to be close to her, but he couldn't. 15:22.000 --> 15:26.000 She filled the house with frilly things, and all the fussy doodads would go with it. 15:26.000 --> 15:29.000 You just won't believe what I got to show you, Matthew. 15:29.000 --> 15:34.000 It's just like Joanne Crawford had in the magazine. Look, it's a genuine toy poodle. 15:34.000 --> 15:37.000 Just like a little ball of fur, ain't he? 15:37.000 --> 15:39.000 Hello, beautiful. 15:39.000 --> 15:43.000 Mmm, such a wondrous little lollipop.
