I represent the estate of the late Robert and Jane Morris. 93 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000 I believe the deceased had an outstanding account with your establishment. 94 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000 You don't mean Jane Morris. The school teacher from Markdale's dead. 95 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 I can hardly believe it. 96 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000 But how? When did this happen? 97 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,000 Last week. They passed on within a day of each other. 98 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 Scarlet Fever saw him, told. 99 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Oh, how dreadful. 100 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 Wasn't there a baby? 101 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,000 Yes, yes there was. Three months old, Robert Morris Jr. 102 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000 Now, according to my calculations, they owed you $54.26, Mr. Lawson. 103 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000 $54.26. We entered. 104 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000 Well, I don't usually let it run that high, but they seem such a nice young couple. 105 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:36,000 It's a great trouble to myself. I have a good portion of the contents of their house outside. 106 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Now, I'm sure that their collected value will be more than enough to pay off their debt. 107 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:44,000 But what is being done about the baby, Mr. Simkin? What baby? 108 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,000 The baby. Well, it's in a neighbor's charge at present, but I am taking it to the orphanage on my return to Charlotte Town tomorrow. 109 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Orphanage? Oh, the poor thing. 110 00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Let me tell you, Mr. Simkin, Jane Morris was put under my supervision as a student teacher. 111 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,000 When she first arrived on this island four years ago and we became very close. 112 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000 I knew for a fact she'd never want her baby putting the happens of a likes of you or any orphanage. 113 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000 I'll find someone to take care of that baby. 114 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,000 You will find someone to take care of it. 115 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:25,000 No relative of mine is going to be looked after by you, Eddie King. That child is my flesh and blood. 116 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000 What? That certainly is news to me, Rachel. 117 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000 Isn't this just like you, Rachel Lind. 118 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000 Scrocking around like a fox near a hen house. 119 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Robert Morris was my late husband, Thomas's cousin's nephew. 120 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Oh, my. Well, that certainly is a close family connection, I must say. 121 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000 In that case, Mrs. Lind. Mrs. Rachel Lind. 122 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000 You had no interest in that baby when the Morris's were alive. 123 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 So, why should you have any say what happens to it now? 124 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Finding a home for that baby is my duty and I will not shirk it. 125 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000 I wouldn't want poor Thomas to think I'd let down his relations. 126 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000 I'm sure poor Thomas is beyond caring now. 127 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000 That baby needs a home. Look no further. It's my duty. I shall take it. 128 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000 I'm afraid in the eyes of the law it's not that simple, ladies. 129 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Teddy, you can't mean that. 130 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Don't interrupt in grown-up affairs.

That's what you are, Rachel Lind. 133 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Jealous? Of you? For what possible reason? 134 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,000 You've always had an insatiable desire to have what is mine. 135 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000 I don't know what you're talking about, Eddie. 136 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000 Oh, yes you do.
