1545
01:51:58,094 --> 01:52:00,305
Oh, Friedrich, thank you for my book.
1546
01:52:03,517 --> 01:52:07,521
Well, when I didn't hear from you,
I thought you hated it.
1547
01:52:07,687 --> 01:52:11,858
Oh, no No Reading your book was like
1548
01:52:12,067 --> 01:52:14,152
opening a window into your heart
1549
01:52:14,361 --> 01:52:19,241
James Fields took it out of my hands,
and he would not give it back to me
1550
01:52:19,449 --> 01:52:23,078
I said,
"Such news I have to give to her myself".
1551
01:52:23,703 --> 01:52:27,332
Well, it was It was a silly impulse.
1552
01:52:27,541 --> 01:52:30,835
No, no Not silly at all.
1553
01:52:32,003 --> 01:52:35,298
It's so good to see you
Come and meet my family

[THUNDER CRASHES]
1555
01:52:36,633 --> 01:52:37,676
No, I...
1556
01:52:37,968 --> 01:52:39,844
Thank you
1557
01:52:40,136 --> 01:52:42,889
but I have to catch the train.
1558
01:52:43,098 --> 01:52:45,892
I... I'm going to the west.
1559
01:52:46,101 --> 01:52:49,771
My ship leaves from Boston
tomorrow morning.
1560
01:52:49,938 --> 01:52:54,734
- Oh.
- Yes The schools in the west are young.
1561
01:52:54,943 --> 01:52:57,153
They need professors
1562
01:52:58,238 --> 01:53:02,075
and they're not so concerned
about the accent.
1563
01:53:04,578 --> 01:53:06,830
I don't mind it either.
1564
01:53:08,832 --> 01:53:12,085
You see, my aunt left me Plumfield.
1565
01:53:12,294 --> 01:53:16,214
It isn't a field It's a house, actually
A rather large house.
1566
01:53:16,423 --> 01:53:20,093
And it isn't really good for anything
except a school.
1567
01:53:20,302 --> 01:53:21,845
And I want a good school,
1568
01:53:22,012 --> 01:53:24,639
one that would be open
to anyone who wanted to learn.
1569
01:53:24,806 --> 01:53:28,226
And, well, I'll be needing someone
1570
01:53:28,435 --> 01:53:31,730
who knows how to teach.
1571
01:53:32,272 --> 01:53:35,108
Is there nothing I might say
to keep you here?
1572
01:53:35,275 --> 01:53:36,901
I confess that.
1573
01:53:37,944 --> 01:53:41,489
I was hoping that I might
have a reason to stay
1574
01:53:41,698 --> 01:53:46,911
but congratulations
on the celebration of your marriage.
1575
01:53:47,120 --> 01:53:51,750
Oh, ha, ha, no No No, that's Amy.
1576
01:53:51,958 --> 01:53:54,586
She's my sister, Amy,
and Laurie, actually.
1577
01:53:54,794 --> 01:53:58,173
No, I'm... Heh I'm not married.
1578
01:54:01,009 --> 01:54:03,136
Please don't go so far away
1579
01:54:05,055 --> 01:54:07,098
Jo.

01:54:07,307 --> 01:54:11,853

1582
01:54:15,732 --> 01:54:17,150
Will you have me?
1583
01:54:18,693 --> 01:54:21,237
With all of my heart.
1584
01:54:24,908 --> 01:54:28,620
But I have nothing to give you
My hands are empty.
1585
