1
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,600
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,800
Do you have the feeling that we are
moving ahead too swiftly?

3
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:37,379
That in our quest for fame, for material
wealth, we are neglecting some of the

4
00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:42,620
old traditions, the old customs from
whence we once drew our strength?

5
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:45,200
This, for example.

6
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:53,280
This may look like a seesaw built for
one.

7
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,620
but it is a ducking stool.

8
00:00:56,020 --> 00:01:02,640
In Puritan times, if a woman were a
scold or a gossip, she was placed here,

9
00:01:02,740 --> 00:01:08,779
the seat belt was fastened securely, and
a number of brave men and true

10
00:01:08,780 --> 00:01:14,939
proceeded to dunk her in a pond as
though she were a donut. It was most

11
00:01:14,940 --> 00:01:16,480
invigorating, I'm sure.

12
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,430
Unhappily, in modern days, we have no
such convenience.

13
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Today, if a woman is a gossip, She isn't
ducked. She's syndicated.

14
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,880
Tonight's story has a connection,
however remote, to the proceeding.

15
00:01:32,500 --> 00:01:38,160
While our sponsor has a connection,
however, obviously to the following.

16
00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:19,970
Thanks again.

17
00:02:20,180 --> 00:02:22,100
Maybe we'll have better luck next time.

18
00:02:31,700 --> 00:02:36,260
I'm inclined to agree with Miss
Grimalkin. I didn't like... Neither did

19
00:02:36,620 --> 00:02:38,560
But she had one irrefutable point.

20
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:45,020
To find a house a hundred years old with
a modern kitchen for you, study for me,

21
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:46,600
and a tree for Kate Swing...

22
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:52,059
Three bedrooms and central heating, all
for $9 ,000 down, would take Miss

23
00:02:52,060 --> 00:02:55,840
Grimalkin's entire staff of witches,
plus the Wizard of Oz.

24
00:02:56,060 --> 00:02:58,350
Now, we've got to look for something
smaller.

25
00:02:58,580 --> 00:03:02,820
We're going to find just the house we
want. I'll guarantee it. How do you

26
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,150
I've got a feeling.

27
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:05,230
Had it all day.

28
00:03:09,980 --> 00:03:11,780
Turn right at the next intersection.

29
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,540
What? Turn right at the next
intersection.

30
00:03:16,431 --> 00:03:18,279
What for?

31
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,880
I don't know why. Let's just try it.

32
00:03:22,500 --> 00:03:24,760
Go on, dear. Don't be an obstructionist.

33
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,100
There you are. What did I tell you?

34
00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,750
Carl, I don't like that discriminating
fire.

35
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:45,300
What does that mean?

36
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:48,250
Expensive. Positive thinking, now. Don't
be a pest.

37
00:03:49,410 --> 00:03:51,450
Look, Mom, there's a creek down there.

38
00:03:52,310 --> 00:03:53,710
Oh, you be careful, Kay.

39
00:04:01,550 --> 00:04:03,250
Just what I dreamed about.

40
00:04:03,630 --> 00:04:05,920
You suppose it's really a hundred years
old?

41
00:04:06,610 --> 00:04:09,130
Looks like it. A hundred and seven.

42
00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:13,410
Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to
startle you.

43
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:19,018
I'm Amelia Gastel. Oh, how do you do?
We're the Kendals. We saw your sign

44
00:04:19,019 --> 00:04:20,219
We're inquiring within.

45
00:04:20,380 --> 00:04:22,920
Your house, I think. Indeed we are.

46
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:25,450
Mom!

47
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,170
Mom!

48
00:04:28,620 --> 00:04:32,040
Mom, it's the most wonderful creek with
frogs and everything.

49
00:04:32,460 --> 00:04:34,750
Kate, darling, you interrupted Miss
Gastel.

50
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,660
Not at all.

51
00:04:37,460 --> 00:04:38,720
So this is Kate.

52
00:04:39,140 --> 00:04:40,800
Yes, ma 'am. Kate's nine.

53
00:04:42,180 --> 00:04:46,790
Nine? Oh, that's a wonderful age to be,
isn't it, Kate?

54
00:04:47,150 --> 00:04:48,510
Haven't tried many others.

55
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:53,850
Well, wait till you've tried 74 like I
have.

56
00:04:56,090 --> 00:04:59,630
That's why I'm selling, you see. Going
to move into the village.

57
00:04:59,910 --> 00:05:03,110
Getting too old to be running back and
forth all the time.

58
00:05:03,390 --> 00:05:06,530
Oh, well, for a minute I thought you'd
changed your mind.

59
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:08,000
About selling?

60
00:05:09,070 --> 00:05:10,120
Nonsense.

61
00:05:10,550 --> 00:05:12,290
Why do you suppose I put up the sign?

62
00:05:12,291 --> 00:05:15,709
Well, you'll want to look over the
house. Come along.

63
00:05:15,710 --> 00:05:16,760
Just a minute.

64
00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:20,530
Maybe before that, we'd better talk
about... About terms?

65
00:05:20,750 --> 00:05:24,710
Yes. Well, if you like it, we can always
find a way to manage.

66
00:05:24,990 --> 00:05:27,370
There's always a way, you know. Come
along.

67
00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:40,969
Now, I'm not just saying that, you know.
If there's anything I can do to help

68
00:05:40,970 --> 00:05:42,470
you get settled, you call on me.

69
00:05:42,471 --> 00:05:45,659
Well, you report tomorrow morning at
eight. We'll put you to work painting

70
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:47,660
kitchen. I paint pretty good kitchen.

71
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:51,200
You be careful, Reverend. He has a
contract in his back pocket.

72
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,180
It was wonderful of you to call.

73
00:05:53,420 --> 00:05:54,500
Thank Miss Gastel.

74
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:56,280
She's a wonderful old woman.

75
00:05:56,540 --> 00:06:00,859
Yes, isn't she? You know, she's quite an
institution around here. Her family

76
00:06:00,860 --> 00:06:02,579
goes straight back to the Puritans.

77
00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:04,870
A lot of them are buried in our own
churchyard.

78
00:06:04,871 --> 00:06:08,419
Really? If you have any time, you come
down and I'll give you a personally

79
00:06:08,420 --> 00:06:09,470
conducted tour.

80
00:06:09,980 --> 00:06:11,460
Oh, dear. I must get along.

81
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,980
Well, I shall hope to see you on Sunday.

82
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,290
We'll try to be there.

83
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,230
Bring Kate. We'll try and find her a
playmate. Okay, bye, Reverend. Goodbye.

84
00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:24,540
You know, that's the only fly in an
otherwise beautiful ointment.

85
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,130
Kate? Mm -hmm.

86
00:06:26,131 --> 00:06:29,879
He says there isn't another family with
children the whole length of this road.

87
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,410
It'll be a little lonesome for it if
Google starts.

88
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:34,180
That's only a couple of weeks away.

89
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,780
Well, shall we tackle that kitchen?

90
00:06:52,140 --> 00:06:53,220
you up to, young lady?

91
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,450
Well,

92
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,540
usually a creepo. Where'd you find him?

93
00:06:58,541 --> 00:06:59,879
I didn't.

94
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,930
Letty did.

95
00:07:01,100 --> 00:07:04,220
Who? Letty, the little girl I was
calling.

96
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,800
Well, now, there you are.

97
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:09,879
And Letty's the little girl about nine
and a half, just like you. How'd you

98
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,500
know? You see?

99
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,440
Well, where does she live, honey?

100
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,770
I don't know.

101
00:07:15,780 --> 00:07:18,300
I didn't ask her. Why didn't you invite
her in?

102
00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:20,020
She had to go to meetings.

103
00:07:20,570 --> 00:07:23,460
Said her mom had the gig ready and they
didn't dare be late.

104
00:07:23,650 --> 00:07:24,700
The gig?

105
00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:27,010
Yeah. What is a gig?

106
00:07:27,470 --> 00:07:28,770
Some kind of car?

107
00:07:29,250 --> 00:07:33,989
What is a car? Well, it's kind of a
buggy people used to ride around in

108
00:07:33,990 --> 00:07:34,949
ago, Katie.

109
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:36,730
Letty rides in hers all the time.

110
00:07:37,030 --> 00:07:38,370
They always go to meetings.

111
00:07:39,590 --> 00:07:41,690
I better take him outside.

112
00:07:42,430 --> 00:07:44,970
Tomorrow you bring Letty out to meet us,
huh? Sure.

113
00:07:47,630 --> 00:07:48,770
A gig yet?

114
00:07:49,930 --> 00:07:53,809
Sounds like some kind of a religious
sect or something. Like those people who

115
00:07:53,810 --> 00:07:54,860
won't wear buttons.

116
00:07:55,170 --> 00:07:59,010
Well, buttons are no buttons. She's nine
and a half and likes frogs.

117
00:07:59,710 --> 00:08:01,750
I give you Lettie.

118
00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:03,860
Hear, hear.

119
00:09:34,031 --> 00:09:35,879
Where's Lettie?

120
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,980
She had to go home.

121
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,050
Why?

122
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:41,430
I don't know.

123
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:44,570
Ask Lettie.

124
00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:50,430
Come on, honey.

125
00:09:50,431 --> 00:09:52,019
Let's go up and change those clothes.

126
00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:53,520
You said I could eat here.

127
00:09:53,521 --> 00:09:57,339
Well, I know, but Lettie's gone, and I
don't like for you to play here alone.

128
00:09:57,340 --> 00:09:58,390
Come on.

129
00:10:06,321 --> 00:10:10,229
What do you and Lettie talk about,
mostly?

130
00:10:10,230 --> 00:10:12,070
I don't know, Daddy. A lot of things.

131
00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:13,550
Well, give me a sample.

132
00:10:14,130 --> 00:10:15,350
Oh, lots of things.

133
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:16,680
School.

134
00:10:16,950 --> 00:10:18,000
Lettie go to school?

135
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:21,390
Yeah. Funny kind of school, if you ask
me, though.

136
00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:23,130
They don't use real books.

137
00:10:23,330 --> 00:10:24,380
Just horn books.

138
00:10:25,510 --> 00:10:26,560
What's a horn book?

139
00:10:26,770 --> 00:10:27,820
I don't know.

140
00:10:27,930 --> 00:10:28,980
Ask Lettie.

141
00:10:29,930 --> 00:10:34,049
Honeybun, you keep telling us to ask
Lettie, but we can't seem to get in the

142
00:10:34,050 --> 00:10:36,530
same ballpark with her. She just likes
me, I guess.

143
00:10:36,531 --> 00:10:40,449
Well, now, can't you do a spelling job?
Tell her what tremendous people your

144
00:10:40,450 --> 00:10:42,069
parents are. We'd kind of like to meet
her.

145
00:10:42,070 --> 00:10:43,120
I'll ask her, Daddy.

146
00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:44,480
Okay.

147
00:10:46,090 --> 00:10:47,350
Where did this come from?

148
00:10:47,610 --> 00:10:49,310
A child's history of New England.

149
00:10:49,311 --> 00:10:50,409
You remember.

150
00:10:50,410 --> 00:10:51,830
Mr. Still left it here.

151
00:10:52,150 --> 00:10:55,330
Oh, yes. Have you been reading it? I
just look at the pictures.

152
00:10:59,870 --> 00:11:03,650
Honeybun, you mind if your old man tells
you a secret about little girls?

153
00:11:04,030 --> 00:11:05,080
What?

154
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,180
Well, you see, sometimes they get
lonesome.

155
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,839
And they start wishing they had someone
to play with, and they wish it so hard

156
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,219
they begin to think it's true.

157
00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:19,280
You think I'm making Lettie up? Oh, no,
not exactly, no. Well, I'm not.

158
00:11:19,281 --> 00:11:22,499
I only said you might have thought about
her so much. She was here the day we

159
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:26,340
came, down by the creek. She was
lonesome, and she saw we'd bought the

160
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:28,220
and she was down there waiting for me.

161
00:11:29,220 --> 00:11:30,380
I didn't do all this.

162
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:31,770
She did.

163
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:34,300
When? Yesterday.

164
00:11:35,710 --> 00:11:36,760
Well, who is it?

165
00:11:37,090 --> 00:11:38,230
Lettie's Aunt Bridget.

166
00:11:38,790 --> 00:11:39,870
What's her last name?

167
00:11:39,990 --> 00:11:41,040
Same as Lettie's.

168
00:11:41,250 --> 00:11:42,300
Bishop.

169
00:11:44,250 --> 00:11:45,300
Lettie's real daddy.

170
00:11:45,670 --> 00:11:47,050
I didn't make her up.

171
00:11:51,870 --> 00:11:52,920
What's the matter?

172
00:11:53,370 --> 00:11:54,990
I think you've got a little fever.

173
00:11:55,330 --> 00:11:58,100
Come on now, it's after eight. It's time
you hit the sack.

174
00:11:58,890 --> 00:12:02,809
Still think I made her up? Yeah, we'll
talk about that tomorrow. Go on, hop

175
00:12:02,810 --> 00:12:03,860
bed.

176
00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:13,170
What did the doctor say?

177
00:12:13,171 --> 00:12:17,129
She's running a fever, all right, but
it's just a cold. We'll have to keep her

178
00:12:17,130 --> 00:12:18,180
in for a day or two.

179
00:12:19,390 --> 00:12:21,170
She's telling him all about Lettie.

180
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:22,900
Well, it's all here.

181
00:12:23,190 --> 00:12:27,040
Church meeting, cotton mather, gigs, and
hornbooks. This is where she got it.

182
00:12:27,150 --> 00:12:28,630
Then why didn't she say so?

183
00:12:28,631 --> 00:12:31,949
I don't know. You're a girl. You tell
me. Look, it's nothing to make jokes

184
00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:35,080
about. Well, now, look, it's nothing to
get upset about either.

185
00:12:35,530 --> 00:12:39,550
Alice in Wonderland grew up to be a
fine, normal woman and soul kid.

186
00:12:40,380 --> 00:12:41,520
Alice in Wonderland?

187
00:12:41,521 --> 00:12:43,379
Oh, Mrs.

188
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:46,210
Kendall's a little upset about Katie's
friend, Lettie.

189
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,580
What do you think, Doc?

190
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,800
Well, I'm afraid Lettie's a bit out of
my field.

191
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,180
I could refer you to a good child
psychologist in Salem.

192
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400
You think she's imagining it? I would
say so, yes.

193
00:12:58,700 --> 00:13:00,440
Have you run into this before, Doc?

194
00:13:00,780 --> 00:13:02,360
I have two daughters myself.

195
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:06,000
I wish I was confident.

196
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:07,530
Now, fill it.

197
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,240
I'm sorry. I just can't help it.

198
00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:17,020
Well, this is Lettie's Aunt Bridget. I'm
sure Kate didn't draw that. Now, Phil,

199
00:13:17,021 --> 00:13:19,319
you're not making sense. Well, you
aren't either.

200
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:20,520
Kate's nine and a half.

201
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,320
She doesn't care a hang about the
history of Puritans or even books.

202
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,510
We couldn't even get her to read the
Sunday Funnies.

203
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:31,859
What makes you think she'd suddenly sit
down with a dry old tome like that and

204
00:13:31,860 --> 00:13:33,380
bone up on the Pilgrims?

205
00:13:33,580 --> 00:13:35,540
Puritans. All right, the Puritans.

206
00:13:36,110 --> 00:13:40,790
Well, maybe she's tutoring with Lenny's
aunt, Bridget Bishop. I don't know. Who?

207
00:13:41,550 --> 00:13:43,610
Oh, that's Lenny's Puritan aunt.

208
00:13:44,950 --> 00:13:46,470
Name is Bridget Bishop.

209
00:13:46,810 --> 00:13:48,610
Katie probably invented her, too.

210
00:13:49,710 --> 00:13:51,070
No, I don't think so.

211
00:13:52,110 --> 00:13:53,160
Why not?

212
00:13:53,630 --> 00:13:59,490
Well, I'm not up too much on my local
history, but that name rings a bell.

213
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,440
Bishop. Bridget.

214
00:14:16,260 --> 00:14:17,310
Page 73.

215
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Now, here she is. There's a picture of
her. She... She what?

216
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:37,640
The trial of Bridget Bishop of Salem
Village by the elders of the church.

217
00:14:40,540 --> 00:14:42,540
Convicted of witchcraft and hung.

218
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,740
June 16, 92.

219
00:15:26,319 --> 00:15:28,489
Hey, don't try and kid your old man,
Possum.

220
00:15:28,820 --> 00:15:29,870
I couldn't sleep.

221
00:15:29,871 --> 00:15:33,039
Well, neither could I with the light in
my eyes. Did you know it's after

222
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,700
midnight? I was just thinking, that's
all.

223
00:15:38,300 --> 00:15:41,320
Well, the fever's gone down, but it
could come back.

224
00:15:41,660 --> 00:15:45,030
Now, look, you keep that light out and
log a little fact time, okay?

225
00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:55,810
What kind of beads are these?

226
00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:57,410
They're buzzard bones.

227
00:15:57,690 --> 00:15:58,870
Letty gave them to me.

228
00:15:59,970 --> 00:16:01,020
Buzzard bones?

229
00:16:01,230 --> 00:16:02,650
To keep off the pox.

230
00:16:04,610 --> 00:16:06,590
What? That's what Letty said.

231
00:16:09,990 --> 00:16:14,749
Now, look, Katie, you may not realize
it, but you've upset your mother pretty

232
00:16:14,750 --> 00:16:17,030
badly with all this talk about Letty.

233
00:16:17,031 --> 00:16:21,089
Now, it's time you stopped making things
up and started telling the truth.

234
00:16:21,090 --> 00:16:22,850
But, Daddy... Now, let me finish.

235
00:16:23,890 --> 00:16:27,789
Now, when we were cleaning up around
here the day we moved in, there was a

236
00:16:27,790 --> 00:16:30,330
of knickknacks and junk Miss Gastel left
behind.

237
00:16:30,810 --> 00:16:34,720
We swept it into a corner in the keeping
room, and I remember you playing there.

238
00:16:34,721 --> 00:16:37,269
Now, that's where you found these, isn't
it?

239
00:16:37,270 --> 00:16:38,320
I'm sleeping.

240
00:16:38,430 --> 00:16:39,480
Katie, answer me.

241
00:16:41,570 --> 00:16:42,620
Can I keep them?

242
00:16:43,270 --> 00:16:44,950
If you tell me where you found them.

243
00:16:46,770 --> 00:16:48,390
Yes, Daddy, it was in that pile.

244
00:16:50,650 --> 00:16:51,700
Well...

245
00:16:53,710 --> 00:16:56,270
Now, look, no more making things up,
understand?

246
00:16:56,770 --> 00:16:57,820
Uh -huh.

247
00:16:59,330 --> 00:17:00,550
Good night. Good night.

248
00:17:09,630 --> 00:17:10,680
Loretta Bishop.

249
00:17:12,470 --> 00:17:17,130
That would be Letty for short, wouldn't
it? Yes, I should think so. Why?

250
00:17:18,690 --> 00:17:19,849
Died at the park.

251
00:17:21,150 --> 00:17:24,640
Oh, there must have been a terrible
epidemic of smallpox at that time.

252
00:17:24,829 --> 00:17:26,710
It took off a lot of the children.

253
00:17:27,069 --> 00:17:28,390
I didn't realize that.

254
00:17:28,770 --> 00:17:33,610
Yes. Medicine was about on a par with
the methods of an African witch doctor.

255
00:17:33,810 --> 00:17:39,390
You know, charms, fetishes, broths of
lizard tails and fingernails.

256
00:17:40,990 --> 00:17:42,370
Buzzard bone necklaces.

257
00:17:43,030 --> 00:17:44,650
Yes, against the pox.

258
00:17:45,810 --> 00:17:48,290
Also, they practiced exorcism of demons.

259
00:17:49,150 --> 00:17:53,620
Exorcism? It was an ancient rite of the
church, driving out an evil spirit.

260
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,060
How did they do it?

261
00:17:57,820 --> 00:18:01,240
Well, as I recall, it was a pretty
involved sort of ritual.

262
00:18:02,380 --> 00:18:03,440
Is it still done?

263
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:05,320
Oh, very rarely nowadays.

264
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,210
Could you do it?

265
00:18:08,620 --> 00:18:11,180
Aye, but my dear child, why would I?

266
00:18:11,620 --> 00:18:14,640
Well, I... I mean, if there were a real
need for it.

267
00:18:14,980 --> 00:18:19,200
Well, I'd have to investigate pretty
thoroughly before... But it is possible.

268
00:18:19,630 --> 00:18:21,750
I mean, you could do it or have it done.

269
00:18:22,810 --> 00:18:24,750
Yes, I suppose so. But why?

270
00:18:27,310 --> 00:18:31,930
I can't tell you. Not yet anyway, but I
may have to ask for some help.

271
00:18:33,310 --> 00:18:34,360
Thanks for the tour.

272
00:18:34,450 --> 00:18:35,500
Goodbye.

273
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:42,880
Curious, isn't it?

274
00:18:43,630 --> 00:18:45,850
No idea where it came from.

275
00:18:47,050 --> 00:18:51,149
It turned up from somewhere at moving
time, and I just tossed it on the scrap

276
00:18:51,150 --> 00:18:52,200
heap.

277
00:18:52,290 --> 00:18:54,090
Do you suppose it's really Puritan?

278
00:18:54,530 --> 00:18:55,580
Well, I don't know.

279
00:18:56,510 --> 00:18:57,570
I don't really care.

280
00:18:57,571 --> 00:19:00,689
I think you know what our problem is,
Miss Castell.

281
00:19:00,690 --> 00:19:03,170
Kate's alone all day. She should have a
playmate.

282
00:19:03,470 --> 00:19:07,389
Yeah, we realized that when we first
moved in. I guess we didn't appreciate

283
00:19:07,390 --> 00:19:08,349
important it was.

284
00:19:08,350 --> 00:19:10,270
She didn't have one, so she made one up.

285
00:19:11,210 --> 00:19:12,260
Dear me.

286
00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:14,150
A little girl named Lettie.

287
00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:17,820
Lettie? Oh, that's an old -fashioned
name.

288
00:19:18,220 --> 00:19:19,940
Oh, she's an old -fashioned girl.

289
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:21,770
Strict cabinet.

290
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,260
Goes to church meetings every day and a
gig.

291
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,440
Listen to Cotton Mather preach.

292
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,320
Knows all about the stocks and the
ducking stool.

293
00:19:30,380 --> 00:19:32,910
And wears these buzzard bones to keep
away the pox.

294
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,970
Katie got it all out of that old history
book you left here.

295
00:19:36,971 --> 00:19:40,759
You know, I don't think I could get her
to study that book for a hundred

296
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,640
dollars. But if this keeps up much
longer, she's...

297
00:19:44,120 --> 00:19:47,250
She's going to be the world's youngest
Ph .D. in Puritan history.

298
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,100
Did you find out about it?

299
00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:50,540
It's just as I said.

300
00:19:51,060 --> 00:19:52,110
What, the Jaws?

301
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,950
Well, of course. I should have gotten
rid of that trash.

302
00:19:56,940 --> 00:19:58,080
Well, she's asleep now.

303
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,480
Make sure she keeps covered, will you?

304
00:20:00,481 --> 00:20:01,839
Don't worry.

305
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,100
We'll get along just fine.

306
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,719
But we'll have to find her a little
playmate. It isn't right for a child to

307
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,770
alone so much.

308
00:20:08,771 --> 00:20:12,639
Well, if you hear of an agency that
rents out little girls, you let us know,

309
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:13,690
won't you?

310
00:20:13,930 --> 00:20:15,730
I'll put on my thinking cap. Okay.

311
00:20:16,090 --> 00:20:17,250
Come on now. Come on.

312
00:20:17,730 --> 00:20:18,780
Have a good time.

313
00:20:19,450 --> 00:20:21,590
Oh, thanks a lot for being our sitter.

314
00:20:22,550 --> 00:20:23,690
We won't be too late.

315
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:25,310
Don't count on that either.

316
00:20:25,311 --> 00:20:26,149
Good night.

317
00:20:26,150 --> 00:20:27,200
Good night.

318
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,090
Yes, dear.

319
00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:48,800
What's exorcism?

320
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,890
What's what?

321
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:56,270
Exorcism.

322
00:20:57,300 --> 00:20:58,560
Why do you ask that?

323
00:20:59,860 --> 00:21:00,910
I don't know.

324
00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:02,110
Katie.

325
00:21:02,420 --> 00:21:05,010
Now, Katie, tell me, where did you hear
about that?

326
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:08,980
On TV last night.

327
00:21:10,300 --> 00:21:11,350
What is it?

328
00:21:11,531 --> 00:21:13,559
Well, it's...

329
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,860
Kind of hard to explain.

330
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
If you exercise somebody, does it hurt?

331
00:21:20,540 --> 00:21:24,520
Oh, no, of course not. It's just a
ceremony.

332
00:21:25,020 --> 00:21:30,120
A very serious one that has to do with
driving away something harmful.

333
00:21:30,460 --> 00:21:31,760
And they never come back?

334
00:21:32,380 --> 00:21:34,220
The person you make go away?

335
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:35,980
Well, we'd hope not.

336
00:21:39,140 --> 00:21:42,580
Did, uh... Letty tell you?

337
00:21:46,050 --> 00:21:47,930
Letty? Your little friend, Katie.

338
00:21:48,210 --> 00:21:49,260
Oh, Daddy.

339
00:21:49,630 --> 00:21:51,310
You know she wasn't real.

340
00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:53,170
I just made her up.

341
00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:56,630
Can I have a slice of banana on my
cereal?

342
00:22:09,030 --> 00:22:11,380
Wow, good morning. Good morning, good
morning.

343
00:22:11,980 --> 00:22:13,060
This is Judy Davidson.

344
00:22:13,420 --> 00:22:16,100
Judy, this is Mrs. Kendall. How do you
do, Judy?

345
00:22:16,380 --> 00:22:17,430
How do you do?

346
00:22:18,020 --> 00:22:19,070
Please come in.

347
00:22:19,180 --> 00:22:20,660
Oh, thank you. Kate, come here.

348
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,400
Judy's father is my new milkman. She'll
be taking the same school bus as Kate.

349
00:22:26,340 --> 00:22:27,720
Kate, this is Judy Davidson.

350
00:22:27,721 --> 00:22:28,899
Hi, Judy.

351
00:22:28,900 --> 00:22:29,950
Hello.

352
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,930
Judy may stay all day, if you like, and
then I'll take her home tonight.

353
00:22:33,931 --> 00:22:37,519
Katie, why don't you take Judy upstairs
and show her your playroom? Sure. Come

354
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,570
on, Judy.

355
00:22:40,100 --> 00:22:44,499
Miss Castell, if my wife weren't a
jealous woman, I think I'd give you a

356
00:22:44,500 --> 00:22:45,759
big hug right here and now.

357
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:51,300
Well, I told you, Mr. Candle. I told you
I'd put on my thinking cap.

358
00:22:51,301 --> 00:22:52,479
Well, thank you.

359
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:53,820
Bye -bye. Bye -bye.

360
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,180
It was a fine notion, Mrs. Kate.

361
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Would we have thought of it sooner? I
wish we had thought of it sooner.

362
00:23:01,220 --> 00:23:02,980
I wish we had thought of it sooner.

363
00:23:03,820 --> 00:23:07,100
Listen, Lettie, if I can remember to
call you Judy.

364
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,550
You should remember not to talk in that
old -fashioned way.

365
00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:13,080
Do you want to get yourself exercised?

366
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,260
Then who am I going to play with?

367
00:23:32,660 --> 00:23:36,440
I hope you enjoyed our story, Summer
Shade.

368
00:23:36,810 --> 00:23:42,149
because that will give you strength to
face this next item, after which I'll

369
00:23:42,150 --> 00:23:45,250
return. That is all of tonight's
entertainment.

370
00:23:45,550 --> 00:23:50,929
We shall return next week with more of
the same. Now I must hurry off. I'm

371
00:23:50,930 --> 00:23:51,980
shooting a picture.

372
00:23:58,041 --> 00:24:00,139
Good night.

373
