See, Lydia? 76 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000 I wish you'd stop putting ribbons in your hair like a schoolgirl. You're almost 40 years old. 77 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 I know, Lydia. I know. 78 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Then try to act like it. Hand me my sewing. And light the lamp. It's getting dark. 79 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000 I wonder why we have to grow old. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had always stayed young like we used to be? 80 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,000 Oh, Lydia. Remember when Mother used to send us out to school with our ribbons matching and our dresses matching? 81 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:06,000 And at the end of the day, no one would even guess we were sisters because I was always so must and you were always so clean. 82 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 Oh, I wish we were young again, Lydia. 83 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Stop talking nonsense, Ellie. 84 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:18,000 It is nonsense, isn't it? Oh, the doorbell rang while you were out, just before you came home. 85 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000 You didn't answer us. 86 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Oh, no. You told me never to answer. I just looked out of the upstairs window. 87 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 Did you see who it was? 88 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Oh, yes. Yes, it was a man, a rather big man. He rang a long time and then he went away. 89 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000 He didn't see you, did he? 90 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Oh, no. I just peeked ever so carefully from behind the curtains. Then I came down here and watched him going down the walk. 91 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 You came downstairs? Yes. 92 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 I told you never to come down those stairs when I'm not in this house. 93 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:50,000 It was all right, Lydia. I held on very tight to the banisters all the way and I didn't once look down the stairwell. 94 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 So I didn't get dizzy and I didn't want to jump. 95 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Well, don't do it again. 96 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,000 It was just that I was lonely. I couldn't think you were ever coming home. 97 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Lydia, you didn't tell me what you bought. 98 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000 A durable. 99 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 What's that? What's a durable? 100 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Don't ask so many questions, Ellie. 101 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 All right. 102 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Lydia, I think I'll sew too. I could fix up one of these old ribbons here. 103 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000 May I, Lydia? 104 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Yes, you sew. It will be good for you. 105 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,000 Thank you. 106 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000 Lydia. 107 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Yes? 108 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,000 Lydia, could I go shopping some day? 109 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Don't be a fool. 110 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought that... 111 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:41,000 No, I suppose you're right. It wouldn't do. Not yet. 112 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Lydia, sing with me. 113 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000 You know I never sing. 114 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000 There wasn't any mail today. 115 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000 Wasn't there? 116 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,000 No. I thought perhaps there'd be a letter from David. 117 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000 It's been such a long time since he's written, hasn't it? 118 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000 I haven't noticed. 119 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Oh, yes.
