Our loss? Oh, you mean… Yes, it is a blow to us.
I brought you a cake.
Yes, very.
When we heard, I told Mr. Quigley, “Close the store, give the employees the day off.” We’ll miss her so.
Thank you. My husband says we should be thankful for the time we had her, but…
We know, we know. Believe me, we know.
She’d bring it home like a hunter carrying her kill and play with it for a while.
How… How cute.
Excuse me while I put the cake in the kitchen.
Of course, dear.
I didn’t know Chris liked mice.
How little we know before it is too late.
Did you notice her red eyes?
Poor dear. It must be hard on her.
What…what are you doing here?
You’re Chris’s brother, aren’t you?
We’ll miss your sister.
You must be brave, my dear. Be brave and trust that this too will pass.
I rather think my wife is overreacting to the whole thing.
Overreacting? I think she’s a rock!
She left hair all around the house.
Really!
This is ridiculous! Excuse me.
Have you ever…?
He’s…well, he’s in shock.
Shock?
Ask me tomorrow!
Maybe your mother needs help in the kitchen.
At times like this, she likes to be alone.
Oh, I understand. Alone with her memories.
No. She went to…
Forgot the knife.
Uh, she’s…she’s gone.
Be brave, dears. Be brave.
If I can’t have Chris, cake’s the next best thing.
Cake is all cut.
Come on, Tim. I’ll get you a big piece.
Be brave.
Too painful to keep, you know.
Who was that young man?
It’s shock! Total shock.
I know how to handle this.
Maybe she’s up in her room.
Come to your senses, man!
She threw her drink at you!
I had to.
And now you’re flirting with the dime store owner’s wife.
But…he was…
Well, thanks for coming.
No. They need us. If anything should happen…
It seems that Mr. Wilson is upset at my wife even trying to help out in these trying times.
The poor man was in shock and…
Tell her I’ll call her when I get back.
She’s not coming back.
What do you mean?
She’s gone on that long journey.
What did she…? How did she…?
We don’t know. They just said she’s gone.
I mean, Uncle and Auntie.
Bless you, child.
Mrs. Quigley, would you please tell my wife, and me, why you threw your drink at me?
Shock.
Shock, Mrs. Quigley?
Mr. Wilson. You may not realize it, but you’re going to thank me for this.
She always could figure out her mother.
Be brave!
What’s wrong?
Listen honey, we have to run along.
Mrs. Quigley, would you explain that there is nothing between us?
Mrs. Wilson, believe me. I wouldn’t have anything to do with that man.
I saw you throw your drink at him.
He was in shock over the loss.
Why don’t we go and pick out a new one.
You poor, poor woman. Be brave, my dear.
Look, folks, I appreciate your coming, but this is really a private matter.
You want me to slap him, dearie?
Well, I thought you’d want to stay in the family’s house, near your nephew.
Nephew? Oh, Jim isn’t our nephew.
We thought that…
Jim told us that she was…
I knew Tim was coming over and I asked him to make up a lie why I couldn’t go to work.
Well, he came up with a doozy.
The Quigleys close down their store for the day…
Giving the employees the day off…
Why, you…
Calm down, Morris. He’s right. You have been working those kids a little too hard.
