Sure hope, sure Berkeley ain't around.

Whoa!

We beat him!

Hello, ladies.

What took you so long?

That's not fair. You cheated.

What? You took a shortcut.

Nobody said nothing about staying on the road. Oh, right. You two, we've got

some shopping to do.

Just wait until we're both on horses.

Ooh, now I'm scared.

Miss Dove?

Children?

None are in here for me.

Mail is slow nowadays.

I'm sure there's a few letters on there waiting for you right now.

Damn it.

Oatmeal. Oatmeal.

Oatmeal. Oatmeal.

Excellent.

Thank you.

And cod liver oil. Just one bottle.

Cod liver oil.

Carpenter oil.

What happened to your shelves?

Collapsed. They all came tumbling down like an avalanche.

Your carpenter should have anchored them.

My carpenter's in compliment.

Now I have to pay someone else to get the same job done right.

Oh, thank you.

You wouldn't know a decent repairman, would you?

Oh, no.

Nick does my repairs for me.

I mean, he's decent. He's more than decent, actually. He's very skilled.

Perfect. You're hired.

No, I'm serious.

I already got a job. I know, but this would only be temporary.

It's fine with me if you think you can handle both.

I suppose I could find the time, finish this off in a few days.

Good, good, good. Couldn't you start right now?

Sure. Uncle.

How much for this fabric?

25 cents a yard.

Oh, uh, have you folks met my niece, Miss Charlotte Gerson?

Hello, I'm Jo Bear.

Nick Browling, ma 'am.

Hello.

Charlotte's visiting from Stockbridge.

She'll be working with me for the next few weeks.

Oh. My aunt and uncle have been so hospitable, I insisted.

Oh, Charlotte.

Mr. Riley's here has agreed to build us some new shelves.

Wonderful.

It's been terrible like this. It took me ten minutes just to find a can of

pizza. Oh, well, I'm just glad I could be of some help.

Got it?

You want to put this next to it?

Maybe we should tie these things down.

Tie them down?

Hey, does Joe and Nick have any more ideas about racing back home? She does

and I'm walking.

Asia?

That is you, ain't it?

Look at you.

Give me them same big eyes.

Get in.

Asia, why?

Get in the sleigh.

Miss Joe!

Where you going so fast?

I got work to do.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I came all this way to pay you a visit.

Pay him no mind, Miss Jo.

All I want to do is talk.

We're ready.

Are you all right?

Please, Miss Jo, let go.

Please.

I've been staying at the board house over on Hickory. You come by and see me,

you hear?

Asia? Who was that man?

My father.

I thought Asia's father was dead.

I did too.

My stepfather is dead.

He's the man who raised me.

He took real good care of me and my mom.

When that man you saw on the street today, Upton left us.

What do you mean by left you?

He just took off one day, like he did sometimes, except he just didn't come

that time.

How? Just to her date.

I've only seen him three times since, including today.

What do you think he wants?

I know what he wants.

He wants money for liquor.

But he's not getting any more of that.

My, you are a good worker, aren't you?

I like to get things done.

Well, don't finish too fast, Mr. Riley. I'm glad to have the company.

I love my Uncle dearly, but he's not the most interesting fellow.

I heard you were a merchant marine.

That's right.

I bet you have some fascinating tales to tell.

I don't know about fascinating.

Well, I've seen some things.

And I'd like to hear about each and every one of them.

Excuse me.

Let's get our chores done quick so we can go for a hike before dinner.

Sounds good to me.

Look who's coming.

Who's that?

He's his father.

Coming.

Hey there, Ellie.

I saw you in town.

Yeah.

Is my daughter here?

Oh, she's inside the kitchen.

She's really busy.

Mr. Franklin.

Hello, I'm Jobe.

Pleased to meet you, ma 'am.

But my name's Tyler.

Samuel Tyler.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Tyler.

Asia Muscovado.

Franklin.

That's her stepdaddy's name.

I apologize.

Oh, no matter.

Did you walk all the way here?

Oh, I figured I'd wait forever for Asia to come see me in town.

Oh, please.

Come inside.

I'll go and find Asa. Oh, you're most kind.

I told him not to come here.

Well, he did.

He's waiting in the parlor.

Well, you can just tell him to leave.

Asa.

I don't have anything to say to him.

Well, clearly he has something to say to you.

Well, it doesn't mean I have to listen.

Asia, I know this is difficult for you, but can't you just spend a few moments

with him?

All right.

Oh, my, Asia was a rascal, that one.

Got into trouble quicker than a blink.

Really? Yeah.

I could never stay mad at her, though.

All she got to do was give me them big brown eyes and that beautiful smile.

I fell for it every time.

Well, what else did she do?

Yeah, what was she like?

Well, I seem to recall she loved plant trees to hide better.

And her favorite food was apples.

You know, she used to make me peel the apples first.

Then she'd eat the peel separate.

Yeah, and you still eat your apples like that.

I remember I used to carve little dolls for her.

Pieces of wood all strung together.

Remember that?

Remember those dolls, Asia?

No.

Sure you do. You used to play with them for hours.

I could make you one if you like.

I don't play with dolls.

Man.

Thank you.

Well, why don't you let Mr. Tyler and Asia have some time alone?

Of course she is.

She's got a right to be.

We don't know that her father came here to ask for money.

Perhaps he came here to ask for her forgiveness.

He left her when she was eight years old.

It doesn't deserve forgiveness.

This here's a fine house.

It's big.

Must get real lively with all the chewing about.

Sometimes. Are you happy here, Asia?

I'm comfortable.

And the folks here, do they treat you kind?

Miss Jo's a real good friend.

She treats me like family.

It does my heart good.

Father likes to see his child happy.

You'll have to excuse me, but I'm behind in my work.

Well, of course.

I don't mean to cause you no trouble.

I just... Are you all right?

Yes.

Yeah.

You think maybe you could spare a little shot or something?

How about you, old man?

You ain't changed a bit.

It's cold outside. I got chilled to the bone. This ain't no tavern.

You have to excuse me. I've got work.

Mr. Tyler.

Leaving?

Got to.

Why don't I get my carriage? I'll take you into town.

Don't bother, Mrs. Bear.

Really, it's not a problem. He'll be fine.

Thank you kindly.

I'll manage.

When can I see you again, Asia?

Well, you know where to find me.

I wonder what he's doing here.

What's she doing is the question.

Oh!

Did you see that?

Yes, she slipped.

Slipped. And you saw that plainly, and I did.

You mean Charlotte.

We didn't hear her name.

Is that her name?

Honestly, Joe, you should have seen her. She deliberately fell into Nick's arms.

I did seem rather calculating.

Go on.

She's a shameless display of guile. Sounds like quite a performance.

I must say, I must give Nick credit, though. He was very gallant with her. He

put her down and went back to his work.

He doesn't seem taken with her. Not yet, anyway.

I mean, they work together in that little store.

And that brazen woman is chasing after Nick like a... Freight train. A freight

train? A pretty freight train.

This is ridiculous.

Nick is a grown man. He can do as he pleases.

So you're just going to stand by and watch this happen? If Nick wants this to

happen, I can't do anything to stop it.

Somebody's got her sights set on Nick. I know.

We've got to do something, Bess.

We've got to keep working there through the door with her.

It won't be a matter of time before she gets in to marry her.

That's right.

There's leftover stew if you're hungry.

Oh, thanks. I had dinner in town.

Oh. Just needed something sweet.

I have just the thing.

Cookies.

Perfect.

I made them myself.

They're a little burned on the bottom, but they're still good.

Not bad.

So how did things go in town?

Fine, I guess.

I want to thank you again for letting me take the job.

Well, you don't need my permission.

Well, actually, I work for you, so I do.

Well, I suppose.

But I'd like you to know that you can do as you please.

If you want to spend time there, none of my business.

Nice. Caught me by surprise you're coming to see me like this.

Well, I wasn't sure I should, but Asia's my friend.

I know she hasn't exactly welcomed your visit, but... She's got good reason not

to.

Lord knows I ain't been much in that girl's life.

This is bad.

I know I can't make up for all the things I should have done.

But I just want Asia to know she ain't never left my heart.

Would you like to come to dinner at Warfield tomorrow night?

Surely, bud.

How's Asia gonna be with that?

Don't worry about Asia. I'll speak with her.

She'll come around.

say about five o 'clock i'll be there i'll see you then

hello good morning

i've been up all night remember that raft is feeling mighty

cozy i only closed my eyes for a few seconds but before i knew it don't tell

that's right fell asleep on the raft woke up a couple miles off the coast of

Zealand. You mean you were just floating there all by yourself?

I had a couple dolphins to keep me company.

Joe.

Nick.

Hello.

Mrs. Bear, can I help you with something?

No, thank you.

Cognitive oil. I just need some cognitive oil.

But you just bought a bottle yesterday.

Yes, Tommy.

Build it all over.

Billy boy.

I didn't thought while I was in town.

Of course.

Well, these new shelves look great.

They look wonderful.

Simple shelves, really.

Not much to them.

I'll put that on your account. Thank you.

could you do that?

How could you invite him here without asking me?

Forgive me, Asia. You know that I don't like to meddle.

Mrs. Joe, she already told you she wants nothing to do with him.

You could have heard the way he spoke with you today.

He said that you've always been in his heart.

Ain't that sweet?

In his heart.

Where was he when my mother was working two jobs trying to put bread on a table?

Excusing what he's done.

But is there nothing he can do now to make amends? He is your father.

I told him tomorrow night at five o 'clock.

You what?

I'll cook.

No.

I'll cook.

But I'm not making nothing special.

Man.

Her father is trying.

I guess so.

It's been a while since you heard from your father, isn't it?

No, a few weeks.

Have you written to him?

What's the point?

It's not like he'll write back to me.

Miss Gerson, is Mr.

Nick Riley about?

Oh, Nick is unavailable right now. He's out getting more wood.

Well, tell him you came by.

Oh, Mrs. Fair.

Good to see you.

What a surprise.

I hope you don't mind. Nick said he'd be here all day to catch up on his work,

so I brought him my preserves.

Preserves? He enjoyed them so much at the store yesterday.

I cooked up a fresh batch.

Wasn't that nice of you to bring them all the way over here?

I'll see that he gets it.

I could give it to him.

Nick's out in the woods.

Could be gone for hours.

Really?

Would you mind if I wait a bit?

Not at all.

Don't you have chores to do?

No. Go.

Go?

One. How many children

are there exactly?

Oh, I left count at ten.

When did you say Nick would be back?

It's hard to tell, really. Cream? Sugar? Yes, thank you.

Two.

You know, I've gotten so used to having Nick around. I know it's only been a few

days, yet I feel like I've known him forever.

How do you like living in Concord? Oh, it's just lovely, thank you. Tell me,

Mrs. Baird, is Nick attached?

Attached. Is he available? I mean, he's not involved with anyone.

Is he?

Well, I can't be certain. Nick is a very private person.

Yeah. That brooding manner of his, it's quite compelling, isn't it?

Nick.

Hey, Charlotte.

What brings you here?

My preserve.

Oh.

I made raspberry this time. Might you try it?

Isn't that sweet?

It was my pleasure.

Nick, my uncle has been so happy with the work you've been doing. He insisted

that you join us for dinner tonight.

Tonight?

Ah, thanks, Charlotte, but I let too much of my work slip by here.

But you have to. He'd be so disappointed. And Aunt Sue's already

cooking.

Well, I got all these chores to get done.

This is fair.

Surely you could release Nick a little early.

Release him?

He's not imprisoned here.

Nick, if you want to go, I'm sure you can complete your work later.

You're wonderful.

We'll expect you at 6 .30.

6 .30.

Well,

the table looks lovely, Asha.

Thank you.

So do you.

He'll be here.

What happened? I don't know. It's like somebody drug her through the stables a

few times.

This should get the odor out.

What is she doing?

She's ruining everything.

She's a forest.

Oh, you won.

Yep, you do.

Well... Have a good night.

Yeah, you too.

Can we eat? Yeah.

Let's just wait a little while longer.

Something happened.

No.

It's a little bit late. He's not coming.

Maybe I could... No!

Look.

You've done enough. Just leave me alone, Miss Jo. Go!

Morning. Oh, good morning.

So, uh, how was dinner last night?

Oh, nothing special.

Oh, really?

I mean, oh, really.

Pretty tough to top Asia's cooking.

Yeah, but how about the company?

Must be kind of dull sitting around with all Mr. Gerson and his family, huh?

They're nice folks.

But not as good as being here, right?

You can't beat the company around here.

Joe.

Mr.

Gerson's found a couple more things for me to fix down at the store.

I'll take care of them this morning.

That's fine with me.

All right, then.

See you.

Mr. Gerson's going to keep finding things for Nick to do.

And we gotta keep finding things to make sure Nick stays here.

Asia?

I shouldn't have interfered.

Miss Jo, I know you meant well, and I'm sorry for lashing out at you, but I

can't let him do that to me again.

Every time I give him a chance, he lets me down.

He was so sincere in town when I talked to him.

He was eager to come.

Maybe he was.

But it's the same old story.

Stops off for a quick drink, has another and another, and before he knows it,

he's passed out.

Then maybe we should go and check on him.

No, don't you get it?

Some folks just have bad fathers.

Not all lucky like you.

Look, Miss Jo, you can check on him if you want to.

But I'm done.

Nick! Nick!

You gotta come quick!

What is it?

Smoke's pouring from the kitchen chimney.

Come on!

What's happening?

I don't know.

The flue's opened a check and the chimney must be clogged.

Can't be. I just swept it last week.

Guess you'll have to stay here and fix it.

Listen, I don't know what you kids are up to, but you better not be messing

the chimneys.

Danger. Nick, of course not.

All right, everybody out. It's not good to breathe in this smoke.

I'll go and let Mr. Gerson know you may be delayed.

Thanks.

Mrs. Bear.

Oh, Miss Kirsten.

Is your uncle here?

No, I'm afraid not.

May I help you with something?

If you could just tell him that Nick may not be able to make it into work today.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Is he ill?

Oh, no, he's fine.

The chimney in my kitchen is clogged. He had to stay home and repair it.

I see.

If you could just give the message to your uncle.

Certainly.

Very convenient, though, isn't it?

Pardon? No, Mrs. Bear.

Clawed chimney.

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean.

Don't you?

You'll have to do better than that to keep Nick away from me.

Miss Gerson, I find this highly improper and very insulting.

Aren't you the perfect schoolmistress?

If this is the manner in which you address your customers... There you go

Always so grammatical.

Who are you going to impress with that fancy talk?

Not Nick.

The two of us have a wonderful time together.

Well, I'm sure he makes very polite conversation while passing the time

here.

Is everything all right, Sisper?

I'm not sure.

I'm looking for Samuel Tyler.

You know him?

He's Asia's father.

I stopped by the tavern. The barkeeper told me that he brought him here last

night. Yes, that's right.

He was drinking heavily?

Yes, but it seems that's how he handled his chest pain.

From his bad heart.

Bad heart?

Well, surely you knew.

Oh. Dear, I shouldn't... No, Dr. Pierce, it's good that you told me.

Do you know where I can find him?

I wish I did. I left him here earlier. When I came back, he was gone.

He just left?

And a man in that condition shouldn't be exerting himself.

Thank you, Dr. Pierce.

I don't want to see him.

Asia, honey.

No.

You better go.

I want to apologize.

It's too late for that.

Don't say that, dear. It ain't never too late.

You can't keep hurting your daughter like that.

How could you do it?

How could you leave her that way?

How could you just forget her?

I never forgot her.

Tyler, what is it?

Did I scare you?

Surprised me.

Good surprise, I hope.

You know, I was gonna come back.

Oh, I couldn't wait that long. I missed you too much. Haven't you missed me?

God, I'm working two jobs now.

I gotta get things done. But I just got here.

Nick, I need more time with you.

Maybe we can talk later.

At the store.

But there's always people around, and I never get a chance to tell you.

To face you exactly how I feel.

There.

That's it.

Charlotte, you're a fine woman.

Some man's going to be happy to have you.

But not me.

I'll see you at the store.

Meg, she needs to talk about it. And she needs to tell him.

Joe!

Well, I wasn't expecting you two to come by today.

Well, we were in the area.

We want to know what's going on.

Between Nick and Charlotte.

Well... They kissed.

They kissed?

Oh, what kind of kiss? I mean, was it a cordial sort of peck on the cheek?

It was hardly a peck.

It was a kiss.

So what are you going to do about it?

Excuse me?

Well, you can't just let her win.

Amy, this isn't a contest.

Joe, what Amy is trying to say is... Well, if

you've developed a certain fondness for Nick... Even if I have, I'm not ready.

I'm far from ready to act upon that fondness.

Well, at least tell him you have feelings for him.

Meg, I am delighted that you have found someone like Edward.

But it's much too soon for me to get involved.

Well, tell him that too.

Joe, if you do care for him, you should make him aware.

Because if he cares for you too, perhaps he'll be willing to wait.

Or you could stay quiet at the mouth, lose him to that huffy,

And spend the rest of your life alone.

Amy.

Hello, Agent Tara.

I've arranged for a small gravesite service tomorrow.

Sounds fine.

Thank you for going.

Probably all he had in the world is in this box.

Get us some tea.

Thank you, Miss Jo, but maybe later.

It's all right, Ned. Come on in.

It's that little girl.

That's me.

He kept it.

My daddy kept it with him all these years.

He must have really loved you.

I loved him, too.

But I held on to my anger so tight.

I couldn't bring myself to...

Dear Father, there have been so many times that I wanted to write.

Tell you how I feel.

To tell you that... To tell you that, um... I love

you.

Hi, Nick.

You're eating late.

I just got back from town.

I'll face up at the door.

Oh, good.

I, um... I wanted to tell you that, uh...

When you started working in town at the store, it made me realize how accustomed

I've become to having you here every day.

I know you have every right to pursue any relationship. Jo, I'm not interested

in Charlotte.

I saw you kissing her just this morning.

Completely by accident.

First of all, she was kissing me.

That woman came at me like a freight train.

I told her she was aiming for the wrong man.

Still, one must admire her for how direct she can be with her feelings.

It don't matter if she's direct when there are feelings you don't share.

I wanted to tell you that I have certain

feelings.

Hints of feelings, really.

But still, they're, um... They're real.

I just don't know how long it'll be before I can express them.

Lucky for me, I'm in no rush to go anywhere.
