I was thinking about taking the senator and his son out on the mountains along

the old Cheyenne path.

Is that the one that goes by Lake Goosel? Yeah.

Pretty easy ride, and you ought to be impressed by the scenery.

You think Senator Dixon will agree to designate a national park in the

I met him in Denver. He was on the fence about it.

But if we can get him to vote for it, there's a good chance we can get a whole

group of senators who think like him to vote for it, too.

So he carries a great deal of influence.

Oh, yeah, and he's bringing a photographer with him to take pictures

Congress. Sounds like he's leaning on your side of the fence. I hope so.

Some pictures of Oozle Lake and the falls ought to convince him.

I want to take them further in, but they both look a little green.

I think ten days on the trail ought to be all they can take.

Pa? I want to go with you this time.

What about school?

I already got my assignments from Miss Teresa.

Can't do your assignments without your books for him. I can fit them in my

saddlebag. I made sure.

Matter of fact, they're already packed and ready to go.

Well, Sonny, what do you think?

Give you help?

The senator's son's about my age.

Paul Bryan, it appears he gave him a great deal of thought.

Take a warm coat.

I think if I go on up over here...

Senator,

this party ought to be on that train.

Well, I'll put together some medicines while I choose to take a look. Thanks.

Come on, Brian.

Katie is so sound asleep.

She's got a little sleepyhead today.

Miss Cooper?

Not too unpleasant a surprise, I hope.

Of course not.

Ma, this is Patrick Collins.

And this is my ma, Dr. Michaela Quinn.

Pleased to meet you.

I'm very happy to meet you too, Dr. Quinn.

Aren't you going to invite Mr. Collins in, Colleen?

Of course. Please.

I'm surprised to see you.

What are you doing in Colorado Springs?

Well, I have a few deliveries to make in the area.

Two deliveries, in fact.

These flowers and these chocolates.

Well, they're for you, actually.

For me?

Now, you may want to put those flowers in some water. It was quite a trick

trying to keep them fresh on the train, I can tell you that.

They're beautiful.

Well, then that means it was worth it.

Yes, well, I'll be going now.

My luggage is waiting for me at the train station.

And I do want to get settled in at the...

Spring Chateau and Health Resort. That's where I'm staying.

How long will you be staying there, Mr. Collins?

Oh, I suppose that depends.

I hope I may call on you again.

Um, I guess so, sure.

Good.

Yes, well, the hotel carriage is waiting for me. I'll be saying goodbye.

It was a pleasure to have met you, Dr. Quinn.

He's a very charming young man.

I'm surprised you never talked about him.

I met him at a dance.

He gave me some puns. He said hello a couple of times, but... All the girls in

my boarding house have a crush on him.

What about you?

I don't even know him.

You seem to have made quite an impression on him.

Hold still, folks.

Thank you.

Good. Now I've got a photograph to commemorate the start of our expedition.

Better get going if you want to make camp before dark.

There you go.

You'll check that, won't you?

Good job as usual. Thanks.

Be careful with that camera equipment.

Oh, yeah.

Come on, son.

Sorry,

Emily.

Thanks.

The young man from Denver came to pay his respects to Colleen.

All the way from Denver?

He seems very taken with her.

I guess it's simple. We're going to have to get used to, huh?

I suppose we will.

Good luck with the senator.

Thanks.

Bye, Ma.

Take care of yourself.

Will.

According to this article, Dr. Williams finds oxide of zinc to be very helpful.

For consensus?

So he says.

Two or three grains at night seem to relieve the night's sweat.

I could loan you the article when I'm finished with it, if you'd like.

I'd love that.

I miss talking to you like this when I'm at school.

So do I.

Good morning, Miss Cooper.

Mr. Collins.

Patrick Collins.

Andrew Cook.

Dr. Cook runs the clinic at the Chateau.

Really? How impressive.

Would you care to join us for breakfast?

Yes, thank you.

I met Mr. Collins in Denver.

Really?

So what brings you to Colorado Springs?

Well, all my friends travel to Europe this time of year, but I kept hearing

about all the beautiful sights around here.

Like Pikes Peak and Uthal Lake.

I'm embarrassed to say I've been here almost two years now, and I've never

them myself.

Well, you know how it is when you live in a place. You take it for granted.

I've also heard there's a spectacular red rock formation nearby.

Garden of the Gods.

It's beautiful. You really should see it.

A little close to that tree.

Wind's been coming from the south all day.

Unless it changes, this is the safest spot in the camp.

Really?

That's interesting.

Here you go.

Thanks.

This one should burn a long time.

Thanks, but if they're green, they give off too much smoke.

Ow!

What is it?

Nothing. Just this winter.

Sorry I yelled.

Sometimes I hurt with my look. Let me see.

Here you go.

Thanks. No problem.

Hey, Brian.

Why don't you go down to the stream and see if the fish are biting? It's about a

half a mile north from here.

Sure.

Can I go?

Well, I don't think that's a good idea. Your mother told me in no uncertain

terms not to let you out of my sight.

If we climb up this hill over there, you get a clear view of the stream.

Also a good spot to take your pictures.

Please, Father?

Well, as long as I can see you.

Dr. Cook, I was hoping I might see your clinic.

Uh, yes, of course.

What a splendid -looking microscope.

Yes, it is.

Very useful.

In fact, Colleen and I were just discussing the other day what wonderful

advances science is making for medicine.

Well, it must be nice for Miss Cooper to have a friend with whom to discuss her

studies.

We're more than friends.

Oh?

Well, that is to say, we hope to be colleagues one day.

Colleagues?

We share a great many interests. Research, medicine.

Yes, colleagues.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Would you look at the time?

If you'll excuse me, Doctor.

Very impressive clinic.

a lot of deer around here? Yeah.

I sure like to see one.

Keep your eye open. Never can tell.

Oh, no.

Hook's caught.

I'm sorry.

Just broke the skin a little.

Well, doesn't it hurt?

Yeah, but I try to stay my young when I really need it.

Can I?

Yes.

Let's go.

Come in.

Good afternoon, Dr. Quinn.

Miss Cooper, I was hoping I could impose on you to show me that rock formation

that we spoke of earlier.

You obviously know a great deal about the history of the area. I have a picnic

lunch. It's enough for two.

Um, I don't know. We're just in the middle of restocking supplies.

Perhaps you could see a way as to allowing Miss Cooper to act as a guide

couple of hours, Dr. Quinn?

I can finish it myself.

Well, it's settled then.

Well, that's if you'd like to go, Colleen.

Yes.

Yes, that would be fun.

After you, Miss Cooper.

Whoa.

I just came by to give Colleen the journal we were talking about.

You just missed her.

If you'd like, we could ride north a few miles.

There's a beautiful view of the cliffs surrounding the river.

Miss Cooper, I am more than content to enjoy the beautiful view from right

Please.

Camembert.

Camembert? It's cheap.

It's imported from France.

Only the best for the most beautiful girl in Colorado Springs.

Mr. Collins.

And?

Caviar. It's Russian.

What is it?

You're so sweet.

It's fish egg.

Oh. But I have saved the best for last.

A gesture of friendship.

From a gentleman to a lady.

Please.

The catch, by the way.

We're reading this at school.

I know. The girls in your class told me that you all had to share a copy.

Yes, that's true.

I thought it might be nice if you had a copy of your own.

That's very thoughtful of you, Mr. Collins.

You're very welcome, Miss Cooper.

Did you have a nice time?

Yes, I did.

Mr. Collins seems like a very affable young man.

Very kind.

Considerate. He gave me this book.

He knows we have to share coffee with the school.

Well, that is considerate.

And he wants to talk over tea tomorrow.

Tea? At the Spring Chateau.

He says he wants the family to get to know him better.

Well, that sounds a little serious, Connie.

It's just tea.

Why? I don't know.

Ma, it's just tea.

Well, if you really wanted to go.

Thanks.

Colleen, that journal. It's from Andrew.

Andrew?

He brought it by the clinic to you?

Oh, that's right. He said he was going to.

Thanks.

Oliver.

What's wrong?

Ma packed us this staff.

Rub some on your blisters.

You'll feel a lot better.

Thanks, friend.

Sure thing.

Now, I'm hoping to make it to the falls.

Right here.

You show Congress some of those pictures, and they'll want to protect

I'm afraid many of my constituents are more concerned with this area's

than its scenery.

And I realize how important it is to provide those things, sir.

But if we keep cutting down trees and not setting some aside, these woods are

going to be as flat as a plane someday.

about that.

Maybe not in our lifetime or Brian and Oliver's.

Maybe by the time their grandkids are around.

We have to find a way that we can use the land as well as preserve it.

We've got to work towards some way of finding a balance.

leave the city, I'm amazed by the beauty of Colorado.

So, were you born in Denver, Mr. Collins?

No, I'm from New York. But when Father opened a branch of the business in

a few years ago, I moved out there to assist him with it.

I should be more precise. I no longer assist Father.

Now that he's retired, I'm the president of Collins Limited.

Well, running a company is quite a responsibility for someone so young.

Yes, well, I see it as a challenge, Dr. Quinn.

I've always met my challenges and I've conquered them.

Collins Limited. What kind of a business is that?

You're an investment firm.

Investing in what?

Well, it's complicated to explain, really.

You've been highly profitable in a wide variety of interests.

Miss Cooper, I don't believe that you've tried one of these yet.

It's marzipan dipped in dark chocolate.

Oh, I don't care much for marzipan.

These are my favorite.

I'm sure they're very good. Then you must try one, I insist.

Thank you.

No?

Come now, you'll love it.

There, you see?

How's the look up there Brian?

Clear around the next bed.

You and your boy seem to get along so well.

We try to spend a lot of time together.

Yeah, well, that's a bit difficult for me, what with my responsibilities in

Washington and Oliver being away at boarding school.

Boarding school?

Oliver was sickly as a child, and you know how mothers are.

My wife babied and coddled him and...

I just felt that boarding school would help make a man up.

Must be real glad to be spending this time with him, then.

Last month must have washed everything downhill.

What are we going to do now?

Brian, we're going to go back to the Big Oak. There's two paths there.

You take the one that heads west, I'll head east, whichever one's clearer.

Come back and meet at the tree. Right.

May I go with you, Father?

Just be careful.

There's no sign of a trail here.

We better head back.

Look!

Oliver, wait!

Come on.

I had a lovely time with your family this afternoon.

And it's important that they approve of me.

What do you mean?

Let's see.

It's for you.

Mr. Fallon.

Patrick. Please, it's time you called me Patrick.

A bracelet?

Patrick.

I can accept another gift, especially one like this.

No, of course you can.

I know we've only known each other for a short time.

My feelings for you are so strong and true.

Colleen, I love you.

Love me.

And I know that once you search your heart,

you'll see.

That we're meant to be together.

Always. Always.

Ma.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Certainly.

Patrick gave me this bracelet.

He did?

I don't know if I should have accepted it.

It all happened so fast.

Looks very expensive, Colleen.

He said he had great affection for me.

He did?

How do you feel about him?

He is awfully handsome.

Yeah, he is.

And interesting.

And I must say, I do enjoy all the attention.

You still haven't told me how you feel about him.

I don't know. All jumbled up.

With Andrew, I mean, Andrew's so easy to be with and to talk to.

With Patrick, I just get confused.

You think I should get back the bracelet?

Colleen, what I think is that you need to decide how you feel about Mr.

Then you'll know what to do with the Brantley.

Come in.

Ah, Colleen.

I was hoping to catch you here.

Kayla? Andrew,

I haven't had a chance to read the journals yet.

Oh, that's not why I stopped by.

It's not?

Well, the truth is I was...

Hoping I could interest you in a picnic.

If you're not too busy.

That'd be very nice.

If I'm not needed.

Not at all.

Have fun.

We never should have let him go. It's been nearly an hour.

You should take the gear back to camp.

I'm going to go look for the boys.

I'm coming with you.

Grace's meatloaf sandwich?

My favorite.

Really?

What a coincidence.

Lemonade?

Lemonade. Well, it's fresh wheat. Is that all right?

I love lemonade.

Wait a minute.

My favorite sandwich, my favorite drink.

Do you have my favorite pie for dessert?

He never cared much for pie.

If I'm not mistaken, your favorite dessert is oatmeal cookies.

Andrew.

I, um, I brought this book.

Sonnets by Shakespeare. I thought you might like it.

There's this one in particular, sonnet 116, yes.

Do you mind reading that loud?

Um,

well.

Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks.

Within his bending sickles, compass comes.

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, but bears it out even to the

edge of doom.

If this be air and upon me proof I never writ no man ever loved.

Sully's right. The scenery is magnificently beautiful.

What was the last line?

The last line of the sonnet.

I went by kind of fast.

Oh, yes.

Well, it just says that love knows a time and place.

And let nothing stand in its way.

I agree.

Coleena? She's out on a picnic with Andrew.

I think we've got a problem with Patrick Collins.

Probably shouldn't have done this.

Something about this guy didn't truck.

Shouldn't have done what?

I sent a wire to Collins Limited in Denver, asked a couple of questions, and

this telegram back.

Seems like he's done nothing to lie to us since he got here. I had a bad

about him ever since he arrived.

I should have said something to Colleen.

We'll tell her now.

I can't move it.

I think it's out of its socket.

Can you fix it?

Maybe.

It's something I've seen my ma do before.

Whatever it is, please just do it.

You're really going to need to yell at them, all right?

Feels a little better.

And get one back in.

Come on, let's get you up.

Then we can make a camp before it gets too dark.

Shouldn't we try to find Sully and my father?

No.

We could pass them in the woods and never know it.

Best way to meet up with them?

Just stay put and let them find us.

Come on.

I'm telling you the truth.

You don't think so?

I don't know. Yeah.

Hey, Mom.

Colleen, I'm glad you... Have you seen my bracelet?

I've decided what I'm going to do. I was going to talk to you about it.

I'm afraid there's something you need to know about Mr. Collins.

What do you mean?

Matthew sent an inquiry to Denver.

An inquiry?

It turns out that Mr.

Collins... Did not run a company for his father.

As a matter of fact, he just bankrupted a small business his father gave him.

I can't believe Matthew would sneak around behind my back.

Well, that's not sneaking, Colleen. What would you call it?

Concern for his sister.

And I have to confess that I feel the same concern.

You told me to decide for myself how I felt about Mr. Collins.

Then you just check up on him without even telling me? Colleen. You didn't

me to make the right decision on my own. Well, this is not about trusting you.

This is exactly what it's about.

Sir Collins.

Please, I told you to call me Patrick.

I've been waiting to see you all afternoon.

Patrick, I've been doing some thinking, and I've just been a little confused

these last few days. No, don't be confused.

I'm going to ask you not to call on me anymore.

Not to call on you?

I know you'll respect my wishes.

I see.

Wouldn't have anything to do with your friend Andrew, would it?

Well, as a matter of fact, it does.

Well, Colleen, I know your family wants you to marry safe, quiet, ordinary

Andrew, but you would never be satisfied with that kind of life.

Patrick! You and I are passionate people, Colleen, who see what we want in

and go after it.

You don't love Andrew.

You love me. I can feel it.

Patrick, you're scaring me.

Did Andrew make you feel like that?

Let me go!

Colleen, what is it?

Nothing. I don't want to talk about it.

How does it feel now?

Better.

Well, it ain't real, Doctor. It'll keep you from moving your arm until it heals.

So what do we do now?

We're going to build a signal fire.

Maybe this will help.

It'll make it smoky because it's green. I think you're getting to be a pretty

good woodsman.

Oliver? Oliver!

We've been searching all night. Where could they be?

There's a lot of tracks here.

Well, what does that mean? Are we close?

Maybe. Maybe?

What were you thinking, allowing them to run off like that alone?

And you want me to preserve this hellhole that swallows up children?

Look, it's a signal fire.

Well, good one at that.

Where'd you learn about the woods and medicines?

I don't know.

I suppose some from Stully and some from Cloud Hanson.

He's an Indian friend of ours.

Of course, my ma.

I suppose most of it came from just being out here.

I learned a lot about the woods from walking through them.

Dolly!

Fry!

Son, you're hurt.

No, Father.

Brian fixed it.

What happened?

Well, I was chasing after a deer, and then my horse threw me down the hill,

Brian found me, and he put my shoulder back into place, and he gave me this

bandage. Hold on.

The first thing we have to do is get you back to town so Dr. Quinn can see to

that shoulder.

But, Father, I want to keep going.

I'm fine.

Looks like Brian fixed it pretty good.

Doesn't it hurt?

to yell about.

Colleen?

I owe you an apology for yesterday.

There's no need.

Yes, there is.

When you came by the clinic yesterday, you'd already made your decision about

Mr. Collins.

I'm so worried that you might have made the wrong decision that I... I didn't

give you the opportunity to even tell me what that was.

I couldn't help but feel the need to protect you.

I'm afraid I just... I can't seem to stop being your mother.

I don't want you to stop being my mother.

Ever.

Colleen, what is it? What happened?

Patrick kissed me, and I didn't want him to.

He forced himself on you?

I told him to stop, but he didn't listen to me.

Did he hurt you?

Maybe I misled him, Ma.

No, Colleen, you didn't.

Don't ever feel that you have to let a man force his affections on you just

because he wants to.

I just wish he would go away. I don't want to ever see him again.

Come on, we'll settle this right away.

No, Ma.

I can take care of this myself.

Colleen, I am so glad to see you. I need to talk to you. Yes, and I need to

speak to you as well. I just, I wanted to say how sorry I am for yesterday. I

have never done anything like that before.

My behavior was appalling.

Yes, it was.

But it shows the depth of my feelings for you. The passion that you elicit in

me, Colleen. I can accept it.

Colleen, I understand you have every right to be angry.

I don't want to see you again.

You should walk away from me.

Go with me. I said I was sorry. What else do I have to say? Stay out of this.

I said let her go.

How bad is it?

The laceration is fairly superficial.

I don't think sutures are warranted.

Hmm.

I could run diagnosis.

I'm sorry about all this, Andrew.

Oh, Colleen, it's all right.

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.

About my feelings for you.

And how I'm never able to say the right words.

Words I've been wanting to say for a long time now.

I love you, Colleen.

I love you too, Andrew.

Senator, I'm about ready to go.

Let's make to the falls before sundown.

First, a photograph to commemorate a new understanding.

Don't pack that camera yet, my good man.

Boys, come on.

Come on, Brad.

Come on.
