Betty leaves the Peyton mansion. [whw]
WA: Betty Anderson Cord is walking out on her marriage. She is
leaving the house on the hill, the home she and her husband
Steven wanted so desperately. Her flight is the strongest
indication thus far that the extra-ordinary personal
struggle taking place beneath this roof is being resolved
in favor of Martin Peyton.
Intro: Lee is making an adjustment under the hood as Betty comes
out of the mansion and gets in the back seat of the
limousine. They drive off.
Scene 1: Back in the mansion, Martin is talking to Adrienne. Steven
walks up. Steven and Adrienne go in the livingroom without
Peyton. He fusses at Adrienne. He tells her she is going
to tell the truth.
Scene 2: Lee drives the limousine to the square and helps Betty out
and up the steps to the entrance of the Colonial Post Inn.
He opens the door and follows her in. Betty is offered the
suite that she and Steven lived in. She says that she
won't need that much room. Leslie walks up and tries to
talk to Betty. He asks where Steven is. Betty is cool to
Leslie. The clerk hands her the key for room 37. Betty
goes to her room. [Later she is in room 6.]
Scene 3: Leslie follows Lee outside and tries to talk to Lee. Lee
suggests he ask Mr. Peyton. Lee drives off.
Scene 4: Eddie plays the piano and sings, Galway Bay, in the Tavern.
Joe and another bar regular [Bill or Andy] chime in as
echoes.
[ If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day, ]
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Cladagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay.
Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream,
The women in the meadows making hay,
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin,
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play.
For the breezes blowing o'er the sea from Ireland,
Are perfumed by the heather as they blow;
And the women in the uplands digging praties,
Ada says, "I'm building up my blood pressure."
Speak a language that the strangers do not know.
For the strangers came and tried to teach us
their way.
They scorned us just for being what we are,
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams,
Or light a penny candle from a star.
And if there's going to be a life hereafter,
And fate I am sure there's going to be,
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven,
In that dear land across the Irish Sea.
[ If you ever go across the sea to Ireland,
Then maybe at the closing of your day,
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Cladagh
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay. ]
In the back room living area, Ada obviously is having
second thoughts, and third thoughts. Rita comes in and
says that she would like a bowl of chowder. Ada says she
prepares it only in the winter time. Rita goes out into
the bar area and watches her father sitting at the piano
and singing. When he finishes the song the assembled
assemblage applauds. Eddie proudly introduces his lovely
daughter to the patrons. Ada comes out to retrieve Rita.
She relents and allows Eddie to eat dinner with them.
Scene 5: In the nursery at the Carson house, Elliot and Eli are
tending baby Matthew. Elliot picks him up to stop his
crying. Eli takes Matthew and stops his crying by placing
his finger in Matthew's mouth. Matthew is teething. Eli
says that Matthew needs aspirin, but Elliot can't find any.
Constance comes in. She says that Matthew needs aspirin.
Scene 6: Back in the Tavern living area, Rita and Eddie are eating.
Norman and Rodney knock on the door. Ada opens the door
and says, "Welcome to Wharfside mission. Free soup to
derelicts." Rodney tells Eddie that he has found him a car.
They all go for a ride with teh exception of Rodney and
Ada. Remarkably they all return unscathed. The youngsters
leave. Eddie and Elliot have a talk. Eddie buys the car
from Rodney on credit. Rodney and Eddie help Rita into the
rumble seat and they go for a drive. They get back with
steam boiling out from the radiator and talk with Elliot.
Elliot says, "I think you've got quite an act going for
yourself right now." Rodney helps Rita out of the car and
they go in the tavern. Eddie and Elliot talk. Eddie
mentions a man named Jack Chandler. Elliot says, "What are
you really here for?" Elliot tells Eddie he got him the
job at the tavern. They say goodnight.
Scene 7: Betty is eating alone in her room 6 at the Inn as she hears
a light knock on the door. It is Adrienne. She asks if
she may come in. Betty says, no. Adrienne comes in
anyhow. Betty says, "Get to the point." Adrienne says
that nothing happened in Boston between Steven and herself.
Betty tells her to get out. They talk at some length.
Adrienne leaves.
Steven walks up the stairs past room 5 and then pounds on
Betty's door. She doesn't respond.
