Aunt Agnes:
[after Billy and Annabelle meets for the first time outside and begin to play, Agnes joins Grandpa's side]
You gave him a cow for Christmas? Grandpa Baker: No, it was Santa Claus. Aunt Agnes: You're teaching the boy to believe in that fantasy? Grandpa Baker: Ain't nothin' wrong with a little believin', after what he's been through. Aunt Agnes: Exactly! This dreadful barn is a constant reminder of that horrible fire. This barn just isn't safe, let alone for a boy who can't talk! See more » |
