Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh interesting enough?

Although actually it's what you'd call a sideline with me.
Oh you see, my real interests lie in the field
of education.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Really, well, that's very interesting.

You know, my sister and I have a small school.

Oh that that's not me, I mean, that's my eldest
history Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Uh miss Peabody. I wonder if some day you'll allow
me to pay your school a visit.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Why we we'd be delighted, good er. Have you always
had an interest in education.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Sir, Miss Peaberdy. I was one of thirteen children, and
because my father was poor, I had only a few
days of schooling until I was nearly fifteen. My own
experiences have convinced me that we should have throughout this
great new.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Country of ours, a sufficiency of public.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Schools which all children, rich and poor alike could attend.
And oh, but I'm afraid I'm boring.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Oh no, no, indeed, sir, I find it most interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Please go on here?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Are you in here, oh Elizabeth? Yes, here I am,
Dear Elizabeth. Allow me to present mister Horace Mann, my sister,
Miss Peebty.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
How do you do, Miss Peobty?
Speaker 4 (04:04):
How do you, mister Horace Man, the famous.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Educator at your service, madam.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Why, I've read your book on the theory of the
public school.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was fascinating, really well, I am pleased, Elizabeth.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Mister Mann said he'd like to pay us a visit.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
At the school.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, indeed I would. I'd like to observe how you
handle the younger children especially, would.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
You would you really? Well, those are my classes, and
I'd be glad that there's.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Nothing very unusual about what we're doing with those tiny taughts. Mary,
I should like to have mister Mann visit my classes,
the older children.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But Elizabeth, mister Manns, why don't.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
You come tomorrow, mister Mann?
Speaker 7 (04:41):
Tomorrow, Yes, coming eleven, when Mary is taking her little
ones out for a walk. That way we'll have the
whole place to ourselves.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Hello, Siphier, Why Mary back from dinner so soon?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I wasn't hungry.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
How's your head ache now, dear Bitter? Any new borders
at the table? One a A mister Horace Man? Oh
he is he nice? What does he look like? Why?
I didn't notice. I wasn't particularly interested. Oh well, uh, well,
his manner is agreeable. I guess so I he's interested
(05:27):
in education. When he talks about it, he gets very intense, intense.
How oh, his eyes light up. They're very dark and
deep set and brilliant. And his hair it's prematurely white,
you know, and he sort of tosses it. And the
interesting way he gestures with his long, graceful fingers. I
see he just didn't happen to notice what he looked like? Uh?
(05:52):
Was Elizabeth there? Well? Yes, of course? Oh what do
you mean by oh? Why? I was just thinking?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
King?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Of course we all know what a wonderful person Elizabeth is.
Of course, so energetic and intelligent and such a good.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Sister to us.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yes, she really is. But Mary, you mustn't let her
overshadow you. So with with everybody, it happens all the time, Sophia,
I think you're right. Why just to night with mister Mann?
I imagine as much. Now the thing is, Mary? Are
you going to do anything about it? Yes? I am.
(06:31):
From now on, Sophia, I'm going to be entirely different.
I'm going to be bold, forward, dashing. I'm going to Oh.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Elizabeth, feel better, Safia? Good? May will you lend me
your black bomba scene for this evening?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
My new jam? Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
What did you think of a new border? Mister Mann?
Why are you'd like him? Sophia?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
When you feel better, you must come downstairs and I'll
introduce you to him.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Oh, but now I must hurry. Are you going out, Elizabeth?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Yes, with mister Man to a lecture. Oh, Mary, may
I borrow your gloves to go with the dress. Well,
I and you a blue scarf, fear or.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
A thank kill. Now I must hurry. I don't want
to keep mister Man waiting. Good night's the fire? Good night,
Mary Well.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I was certainly dashing, wasn't I? I certainly stood up
for myself that time. Well, the weeks went by, I
saw very little of mister Horace Man, and then only
(07:34):
on the stairs and in the dining room. But I
was resolved. When the next opportunity presented itself, I would
be as I had promised, the fire, dashing and even bold.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
One day, as I was crossing Boston.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Common, Well, Miss Peeverty, good morning.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
May I walk with him?

Why? Certainly, mister Man.

The place an advertisement for a secretary secretary? Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:01):

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Is it to help with your work in the field
of education?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
It is, Miss Peabody, mister Mann, Yes, I trust you.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Nothink me. I'm duly forward, But yes, miss Peabody, I yes,
I write a very clear hand, very large too. You
could read it across the street almost and I'd be
very glad, would be most pleased.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Yes, miss Peebody to.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Assist you in preparing your papers, that is, if if
you should think me adequately qualified.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, Miss Peeperty, this is extremely kind of you.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
No, indeed, I assure you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I am generous too. I accept your offer gratefully.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Miss sir.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
May I may I perhaps call you miss Mary now
that we are better acquainted?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Why?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes, certainly, I mean yes, thank you, And now pray
take my arm and we'll return to the house, shall we. Well,
Miss Mary, I should like to get started immediately. Man,
(09:16):
Now let's see where had we better work upstairs? In
my room? I suppose I don't think what Miss Mary?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Well, I don't think there is not in your room?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Oh of course, not forgive me, Miss Mary. Where then
in your room? Oh no, oh, I didn't mean that
to forgive me.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Oh, perhaps we could use the schoolroom. We'd be quite
alone there, I mean. Mister man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Oh, Hello Mary, Hello Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Good afternoon, Miss Pebbley.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Look, mister man, see what I have here?
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Two tickets to mister Ralph waldo Emerson's lecture tonight, and
I hereby invite you to accompany me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I am sorry, Miss Peabody, but I'm afraid that I nonsense.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
You must come. He told mister Emerson all about you.
He's very much interested in meeting, is he really?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh well then in that case perhaps, So.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
What about the work, honey, isn't it urgent?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I suppose it could wait until tomorrow, after all, a
chance of meeting mister Emerson.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You will forgive me, will you not, Miss Mary?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Oh? Yes, certainly I forgive you.

One of the newest.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Of the DuPont Companies Better Things for Better Living through
Chemistry is teelrubberized fabric for convertible autotops. This improved top
fabric is it's made like a sandwich. In the middle
is a layer of DuPont neoprene rubber, and on either
side are specially woven fabrics died to give maximum resistance
(11:15):
to fading.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Peal.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Rubberized fabric is constructed to retain its original shape and
resist shrinkage through long use. Before this new fabric was
placed on the market, it was field tested for two
years by DuPont in cooperation with the automotive industry. Ask
your local car dealer or autotop man about this new
fabric for convertible autotops. Peal rubberized fabric is another of
(11:42):
the DuPont companies. Better Things for better living through chemistry.
We continue our DuPont playing Buddy sits at the window
of a rooming house in Boston, musing about life and
(12:05):
a career and Horace Man.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The next afternoon, I did get to work with Horace Mann.
Was very pleasant, indeed, and I must say he took
great pleasure in complimenting me on my penmanship. He also
seemed to listen breathlessly. His wonderful dark eyes glowed with
interest that every word I uttered about education. One evening
(12:42):
I arrived home from a stroll on the common to
find that Porcify had fainted and carried.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Up to her room.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So far how here I am marrying the rocker by
the windows. God just told me all him all right now.
It was just one of my headaches. Mary, I understand
mister Mann paid your visit at the.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
School to day, Yes he did.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
What did he have to say? Well, he complimented me, Oh,
thank goodness at last, And what he thinks I have
a very sweet, intelligent manner with my pupils. Oh what
about your manner with him? Does he like it?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He didn't go into that.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Oh Mary, do you love him? Do you? I? I
don't know, well I do, and I think you ought
to do something about it. Mary. Where is Elizabeth to night?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Was she went to Bronson Alcott's lecture with mister Mann?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
She did? Huh, very well, Mary, I'm going to settle
this thing once and for all. You are going to
have your chance with mister Horace Mann without any competition
from Elizabeth. But so far you can't. I can't too, Oh, Mary,
sitting here in this rocket tonight, I've thought of the
most delicious plan. Now you just go to your room
(14:07):
and leave Elizabeth to me. Oh, oh my head, poor Saphire,
Oh you poor child. Oh it's this dreadful climate here
(14:29):
in Boston, Elizabeth, I know it. Oh dear. I wonder
if perhaps doctor Windwoody isn't right after all?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Doctor Winwoody.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Uh huh remember what he said something about a sea voyage.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Wasn't it a sea voyage?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh? Yes, don't you remember? He said the invigorating salt
air might cure me, and oh do you think it
might Elizabeth?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, it's possible, Sophire, Why don't you try it? Perhaps
a trypto cuba?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Oh I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Lots of reasons. I couldn't go alone, could I? But
it isn't genteel Oh, of course if I had someone
to go with me. Elizabeth, why don't you mean yes? Oh,
you're really the only one who soothes me when I'm Illaphia?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
How can I?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Oh you do need arrest, Elizabeth. You've been working so hard.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I'm afraid I can't. I am sorry, Saphia.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Oh it's all right, Oh my poor head, Oh dear child.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Is it very bad again?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Oh? Terrible and getting worse every minute?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Or perhaps i'd better get doctor Winwood. He Oh, it's
no use, I know what he'd say, Sapphia.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Here's Elizabeth. Do you really want me to go on
this trip with you?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Yes, Elizabeth, all right, I'll go you wire.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Oh Elizabeth, how good you are to all of us? Oh? Mary,
I can't help laughing when I think poor unsuspecting Elizabeth
walk right into the trap. I still don't think it's fair.
(16:27):
And how do I know Horace is interested? In me.
This is the way to find out, isn't it by
throwing the two of you together so fire? Couldn't you
think of a more genteel phrase? Yes, but I prefer
this one. Oh there you are, hello, Eliza.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I have the most incredible news.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Mister Waynefley the Beacon Hill has offered to sell us his.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Bookstore he has, Oh, Elizabeth, and it's so successful too.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
The terms are generous, and we could make enough money
out of it to enlarge the school.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And isn't it one? Well?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Perhaps go on, Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Well, there's nothing else to add, except, of course, that
I'll have to remain here in Boston naturally.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Oh. In that case, Elizabeth, I believe I've changed my
mind about taking that tree.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Sophia, you can't. You've got to go for your health.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
But I tell yes, you need that trip, Tophire, you
must go. But Mary, I'm not going alone. I know
I'm going with you.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Sophia. Now excuse me while I go in and pack. Well.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
The next day we sailed for Havannah, and the kit
prooved most beneficial to saffi As health. When we arrived
in Cuba, I managed to procure a position as governess
with an old Spanish family in the interior.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Sophia came there to live with.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Me sooner or only connection with the outside world was
the weekly letters that Elizabeth sanders. One day, an especially
interesting one arrived. Well, go on, Mary, read the rest
of it, and so, dear Mary, I had a most
fascinating conversation with the dear Horace man last night. Well
(18:19):
does she say anything about Horace sending his greetings to you?
Or or why he's never written?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Go on? And when at last he got up to go,
I said, well, now, sir, I do not feel that
I have said even half of all I wanted to
say for Larnsey. He took both my hands and drew
me for one moment, absolutely into his arms, into his arms. Well, well,
(18:50):
I must say, go on, Mary, say it so bya
do you feel well enough to go home? Of course,
when as soon as possible, by the very first boat,
and the moment I see Elizabeth, I'm going to tell
her into.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
His arms indeed, well, miss Mary, it's a great pleasure
to welcome you home again.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Thank you, mister man. Have you seen my sister Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I believe she's giving a lecture this afternoon at Harvard College.
That's why she wasn't at the peer to meet you. Oh,
I wish to go myself, but well, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Thank you for your kind intentions. You were occupied with politics,
I presume no.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
As a matter of fact, I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I refrained from going to the peer at the suggestion
of your sister.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
What Elizabeth told you? Not?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yes, she didn't think it was genteel since we are
not affianced for me to.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
One moment, please, since who were not defianced?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
You and Elizabeth or or you?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Oh no, no, not miss Elizabeth. No, indeed you and I,
miss Mary. That's also why she asked me not to
write to you in Cuba.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
She asked you not to see.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
She had asked me point blank what my intentions were,
and I had told her the truth that I didn't know. Oh,
and then she hastened to mention that it was just
as well as it was. Obviously, we're interested only in
your career as a teacher, as she is.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
She did Elizabeth told you that, Elizabeth. Well, well, I
must say, Mary, how are you, Elizeth?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You look wonderful?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Where is so far?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
How does she feel?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
She's up in her room.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I must go up at once, Dearest, I have so
much to say to you, Elizabeth.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Have you seen so far?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'd be grateful if you stepped.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Into my room. I have a great deal to say
to you, too, and this is one time I fully
intend to.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
Say it now.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Elizabeth, exactly what is the meaning of all this? Or
what Mary? All this talk of horrace not to meet
me and you in his arms? And then he shouldn't
right me? And I'm not interested in marriage and you
and his arms?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Mary?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Are you sure you feel all right? Perhaps the voice?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
I deal perfectly all right?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
And for once in my life, I'm going to say
exactly what's on my mind. My dear, my dear, you're
raising your voice. Me, I'm raising my voice. Why shouldn't I?
You do it all the time, don't you me?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Everybody knows how excitable I am, but you, Mary, it's
not becoming.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It's not genteel.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I don't care whether it's genteel or not. And I'll
tell you something else, Elizabeth. I'm just as excitable as
you are inside, but I've always had the good man
as not to show it, to keep it bottled up.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
All My poor sister What have I done to you
that makes you speak to me this way?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'll tell you what you've done. For two years now.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
You've kept me away from the man I love more
than anything else in the world, the man I'd willingly
die for. And not because you wanted him yourself, no,
I could understand that, but because you're so interested in
yourself exclusively and your projects and your desire to show
everyone how brilliant you are and run their lives for them. Well,
you're not running my life, Elizabeth. And now, with your permission,
(22:40):
I'm going downstairs and tell mister Horace Mann that I
love him very much and I'd be the happiest woman
in the world if you'd kindly do me the favor
of marrying me. That's how genteel.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
I am, Miss Mary. I couldn't help overhearing what you
just said to your sister.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Oh, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (23:09):
I was just coming up to tell you.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
What do you suppose I mean, did anybody else here? Oh?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Yes, every border in the house was listening. Oh oh my,
miss Mary. When I told you I had not made
up my mind about us, I mean it was because
there was one thing, one small thing holding me back. Yes,
mister mayor, Miss Mary, you were so shy and genteel
(23:41):
it was almost as though you were lacking in the
emotional attributes a man properly expects of a wife, do
you understand?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
But but.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
After overhearing you just now, Miss Mary, I no longer
am aware this impediment to our marriage, Miss Mary, will
you marry me?
Speaker 4 (24:06):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Oh yes, mister Man, thank you, and you will oblige
me please by calling me Horace.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Oh yes, Horace yes, And so Horace Man and I
Mary Peabody were married, with the signal for Elizabeth Topi
(24:38):
and myself to separate and take our places in the
life and society of our times. Elizabeth went on to
found the first kindergarten in America.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
Dear Saphia married a brilliant.
Speaker 5 (24:49):
Writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. As for Horace and myself, well, we
went west to found Antioch College and worked towards establishing
a public school system. Yet through the years, and they
were many, and our piles of heart, Elizabeth, so far
and I we might remain close in our hearts as
(25:10):
we take leave of you now, it is our wish
you will sometimes think of us not as women of
vigor and wit and accomplishment, but rather as we were
in the days when we were young. The pet Sisters
of Salem Our.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Thanks to Elizabeth Taylor and our cavalcade players for the
night's story.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I marry Peabody.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Did you know that you can now buy low priced
paint brushes with nylon bristles at your local paint or
hardware store. The DuPont Company, working hand in hand with

Why we we'd be delighted, good er. Have you always
had an interest in education.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Sir, Miss Peaberdy. I was one of thirteen children, and
because my father was poor, I had only a few
days of schooling until I was nearly fifteen. My own
experiences have convinced me that we should have throughout this
great new.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Country of ours, a sufficiency of public.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Schools which all children, rich and poor alike could attend.
And oh, but I'm afraid I'm boring.

Oh no, no, indeed, sir, I find it most interesting.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Please go on here?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Are you in here, oh Elizabeth? Yes, here I am,
Dear Elizabeth. Allow me to present mister Horace Mann, my sister,
Miss Peebty.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
How do you, mister Horace Man, the famous.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Educator at your service, madam.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Why, I've read your book on the theory of the
public school.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was fascinating, really well, I am pleased, Elizabeth.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Mister Mann said he'd like to pay us a visit.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
At the school.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yes, indeed I would. I'd like to observe how you
handle the younger children especially, would.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
You would you really? Well, those are my classes, and
I'd be glad that there's.
Speaker 7 (04:30):
Nothing very unusual about what we're doing with those tiny taughts. Mary,
I should like to have mister Mann visit my classes,
the older children.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But Elizabeth, mister Manns, why don't.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
You come tomorrow, mister Mann?
Speaker 7 (04:41):

ones out for a walk. That way we'll have the
whole place to ourselves.

Hello, Siphier, Why Mary back from dinner so soon?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
I wasn't hungry.
Speaker 5 (05:06):
How's your head ache now, dear Bitter? Any new borders
at the table? One a A mister Horace Man? Oh
he is he nice? What does he look like? Why?
I didn't notice. I wasn't particularly interested. Oh well, uh, well,
his manner is agreeable. I guess so I he's interested
(05:27):
in education. When he talks about it, he gets very intense, intense.
How oh, his eyes light up. They're very dark and
deep set and brilliant. And his hair it's prematurely white,
you know, and he sort of tosses it. And the
interesting way he gestures with his long, graceful fingers. I
see he just didn't happen to notice what he looked like? Uh?
(05:52):
Was Elizabeth there? Well? Yes, of course? Oh what do
you mean by oh? Why? I was just thinking?
Speaker 3 (06:00):
King?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
Of course we all know what a wonderful person Elizabeth is.
Of course, so energetic and intelligent and such a good.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Sister to us.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Yes, she really is. But Mary, you mustn't let her
overshadow you. So with with everybody, it happens all the time, Sophia,
I think you're right. Why just to night with mister Mann?
I imagine as much. Now the thing is, Mary? Are
you going to do anything about it? Yes? I am.
(06:31):
From now on, Sophia, I'm going to be entirely different.
I'm going to be bold, forward, dashing. I'm going to Oh.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Elizabeth, feel better, Safia? Good? May will you lend me
your black bomba scene for this evening?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
My new jam? Yes?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
What did you think of a new border? Mister Mann?
Why are you'd like him? Sophia?
Speaker 7 (06:52):
When you feel better, you must come downstairs and I'll
introduce you to him.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Oh, but now I must hurry. Are you going out, Elizabeth?
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Yes, with mister Man to a lecture. Oh, Mary, may
I borrow your gloves to go with the dress. Well,
I and you a blue scarf, fear or.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
A thank kill. Now I must hurry. I don't want
to keep mister Man waiting. Good night's the fire? Good night,
Mary Well.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
I was certainly dashing, wasn't I? I certainly stood up
for myself that time. Well, the weeks went by, I
saw very little of mister Horace Man, and then only
(07:34):
on the stairs and in the dining room. But I
was resolved. When the next opportunity presented itself, I would
be as I had promised, the fire, dashing and even bold.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
One day, as I was crossing Boston.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Common, Well, Miss Peeverty, good morning.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
May I walk with him?

of education?

It is, Miss Peabody, mister Mann, Yes, I trust you.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Nothink me. I'm duly forward, But yes, miss Peabody, I yes,
I write a very clear hand, very large too. You
could read it across the street almost and I'd be
very glad, would be most pleased.

Yes, miss Peebody to.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Assist you in preparing your papers, that is, if if
you should think me adequately qualified.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Well, Miss Peeperty, this is extremely kind of you.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
No, indeed, I assure you.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I am generous too. I accept your offer gratefully.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Miss sir.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
May I may I perhaps call you miss Mary now
that we are better acquainted?
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Why?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yes, certainly, I mean yes, thank you, And now pray
take my arm and we'll return to the house, shall we. Well,
Miss Mary, I should like to get started immediately. Man,
(09:16):
Now let's see where had we better work upstairs? In
my room? I suppose I don't think what Miss Mary?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Well, I don't think there is not in your room?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Oh of course, not forgive me, Miss Mary. Where then
in your room? Oh no, oh, I didn't mean that
to forgive me.
Speaker 5 (09:38):
Oh, perhaps we could use the schoolroom. We'd be quite
alone there, I mean. Mister man.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Oh, Hello Mary, Hello Elizabeth.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Good afternoon, Miss Pebbley.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Look, mister man, see what I have here?

Two tickets to mister Ralph waldo Emerson's lecture tonight, and
I hereby invite you to accompany me.

I am sorry, Miss Peabody, but I'm afraid that I nonsense.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
You must come. He told mister Emerson all about you.
He's very much interested in meeting, is he really?
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Oh well then in that case perhaps, So.
Speaker 5 (10:09):
What about the work, honey, isn't it urgent?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I suppose it could wait until tomorrow, after all, a
chance of meeting mister Emerson.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
You will forgive me, will you not, Miss Mary?
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Oh? Yes, certainly I forgive you.

a career and Horace Man.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
The next afternoon, I did get to work with Horace Mann.
Was very pleasant, indeed, and I must say he took
great pleasure in complimenting me on my penmanship. He also
seemed to listen breathlessly. His wonderful dark eyes glowed with
interest that every word I uttered about education. One evening
(12:42):
I arrived home from a stroll on the common to
find that Porcify had fainted and carried.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Up to her room.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So far how here I am marrying the rocker by
the windows. God just told me all him all right now.
It was just one of my headaches. Mary, I understand
mister Mann paid your visit at the.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
School to day, Yes he did.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
What did he have to say? Well, he complimented me, Oh,
thank goodness at last, And what he thinks I have
a very sweet, intelligent manner with my pupils. Oh what
about your manner with him? Does he like it?
Speaker 4 (13:22):
He didn't go into that.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Oh Mary, do you love him? Do you? I? I
don't know, well I do, and I think you ought
to do something about it. Mary. Where is Elizabeth to night?
Speaker 4 (13:42):
Was she went to Bronson Alcott's lecture with mister Mann?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
She did? Huh, very well, Mary, I'm going to settle
this thing once and for all. You are going to
have your chance with mister Horace Mann without any competition
from Elizabeth. But so far you can't. I can't too, Oh, Mary,
sitting here in this rocket tonight, I've thought of the
most delicious plan. Now you just go to your room
(14:07):
and leave Elizabeth to me. Oh, oh my head, poor Saphire,
Oh you poor child. Oh it's this dreadful climate here
(14:29):
in Boston, Elizabeth, I know it. Oh dear. I wonder
if perhaps doctor Windwoody isn't right after all?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Doctor Winwoody.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Uh huh remember what he said something about a sea voyage.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Wasn't it a sea voyage?
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh? Yes, don't you remember? He said the invigorating salt
air might cure me, and oh do you think it
might Elizabeth?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Well, it's possible, Sophire, Why don't you try it? Perhaps
a trypto cuba?
Speaker 5 (15:01):
Oh I couldn't.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (15:05):
Lots of reasons. I couldn't go alone, could I? But
it isn't genteel Oh, of course if I had someone
to go with me. Elizabeth, why don't you mean yes? Oh,
you're really the only one who soothes me when I'm Illaphia?
Speaker 4 (15:25):
How can I?
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Oh you do need arrest, Elizabeth. You've been working so hard.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
I'm afraid I can't. I am sorry, Saphia.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Oh it's all right, Oh my poor head, Oh dear child.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Is it very bad again?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Oh? Terrible and getting worse every minute?
Speaker 7 (15:46):
Or perhaps i'd better get doctor Winwood. He Oh, it's
no use, I know what he'd say, Sapphia.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Here's Elizabeth. Do you really want me to go on
this trip with you?
Speaker 5 (15:58):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:59):
Yes, Elizabeth, all right, I'll go you wire.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Oh Elizabeth, how good you are to all of us? Oh? Mary,
I can't help laughing when I think poor unsuspecting Elizabeth
walk right into the trap. I still don't think it's fair.
(16:27):
And how do I know Horace is interested? In me.
This is the way to find out, isn't it by
throwing the two of you together so fire? Couldn't you
think of a more genteel phrase? Yes, but I prefer
this one. Oh there you are, hello, Eliza.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I have the most incredible news.
Speaker 7 (16:45):
Mister Waynefley the Beacon Hill has offered to sell us his.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Bookstore he has, Oh, Elizabeth, and it's so successful too.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
The terms are generous, and we could make enough money
out of it to enlarge the school.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
And isn't it one? Well?
Speaker 5 (17:02):
Perhaps go on, Elizabeth.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
Well, there's nothing else to add, except, of course, that
I'll have to remain here in Boston naturally.
Speaker 5 (17:11):
Oh. In that case, Elizabeth, I believe I've changed my
mind about taking that tree.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Sophia, you can't. You've got to go for your health.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
But I tell yes, you need that trip, Tophire, you
must go. But Mary, I'm not going alone. I know
I'm going with you.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Sophia. Now excuse me while I go in and pack. Well.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
The next day we sailed for Havannah, and the kit
prooved most beneficial to saffi As health. When we arrived
in Cuba, I managed to procure a position as governess
with an old Spanish family in the interior.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Sophia came there to live with.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Me sooner or only connection with the outside world was
the weekly letters that Elizabeth sanders. One day, an especially
interesting one arrived. Well, go on, Mary, read the rest
of it, and so, dear Mary, I had a most
fascinating conversation with the dear Horace man last night. Well
(18:19):
does she say anything about Horace sending his greetings to you?
Or or why he's never written?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
No?
Speaker 5 (18:26):
Go on? And when at last he got up to go,
I said, well, now, sir, I do not feel that
I have said even half of all I wanted to
say for Larnsey. He took both my hands and drew
me for one moment, absolutely into his arms, into his arms. Well, well,
(18:50):
I must say, go on, Mary, say it so bya
do you feel well enough to go home? Of course,
when as soon as possible, by the very first boat,
and the moment I see Elizabeth, I'm going to tell
her into.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
His arms indeed, well, miss Mary, it's a great pleasure
to welcome you home again.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
Thank you, mister man. Have you seen my sister Elizabeth.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I believe she's giving a lecture this afternoon at Harvard College.
That's why she wasn't at the peer to meet you. Oh,
I wish to go myself, but well, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (19:39):
Thank you for your kind intentions. You were occupied with politics,
I presume no.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
As a matter of fact, I wasn't.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I refrained from going to the peer at the suggestion
of your sister.
Speaker 5 (19:53):
What Elizabeth told you? Not?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Yes, she didn't think it was genteel since we are
not affianced for me to.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
One moment, please, since who were not defianced?
Speaker 4 (20:06):
You and Elizabeth or or you?
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Oh no, no, not miss Elizabeth. No, indeed you and I,
miss Mary. That's also why she asked me not to
write to you in Cuba.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
She asked you not to see.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
She had asked me point blank what my intentions were,
and I had told her the truth that I didn't know. Oh,
and then she hastened to mention that it was just
as well as it was. Obviously, we're interested only in
your career as a teacher, as she is.
Speaker 8 (20:39):
She did Elizabeth told you that, Elizabeth. Well, well, I
must say, Mary, how are you, Elizeth?
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You look wonderful?
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Where is so far?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
How does she feel?
Speaker 5 (20:52):
She's up in her room.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I must go up at once, Dearest, I have so
much to say to you, Elizabeth.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Have you seen so far?
Speaker 4 (21:00):
I'd be grateful if you stepped.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Into my room. I have a great deal to say
to you, too, and this is one time I fully
intend to.
Speaker 9 (21:06):
Say it now.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Elizabeth, exactly what is the meaning of all this? Or
what Mary? All this talk of horrace not to meet
me and you in his arms? And then he shouldn't
right me? And I'm not interested in marriage and you
and his arms?
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Mary?
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Are you sure you feel all right? Perhaps the voice?
Speaker 5 (21:36):
I deal perfectly all right?
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
And for once in my life, I'm going to say
exactly what's on my mind. My dear, my dear, you're
raising your voice. Me, I'm raising my voice. Why shouldn't I?
You do it all the time, don't you me?
Speaker 7 (21:48):
Everybody knows how excitable I am, but you, Mary, it's
not becoming.
Speaker 4 (21:53):
It's not genteel.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I don't care whether it's genteel or not. And I'll
tell you something else, Elizabeth. I'm just as excitable as
you are inside, but I've always had the good man
as not to show it, to keep it bottled up.
Speaker 7 (22:06):
All My poor sister What have I done to you
that makes you speak to me this way?
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'll tell you what you've done. For two years now.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
You've kept me away from the man I love more
than anything else in the world, the man I'd willingly
die for. And not because you wanted him yourself, no,
I could understand that, but because you're so interested in
yourself exclusively and your projects and your desire to show
everyone how brilliant you are and run their lives for them. Well,
you're not running my life, Elizabeth. And now, with your permission,
(22:40):
I'm going downstairs and tell mister Horace Mann that I
love him very much and I'd be the happiest woman
in the world if you'd kindly do me the favor
