  Marmee March : So you're going to Washington?

  Elderly man : Yes, ma'am; my son is sick in the hospital there.

  Marmee March : Oh, this will be an anxious Christmas for you.

  Marmee March : [finding him a coat]  I think this one will do; let's try this. Is it your only son?

  Elderly man : No, ma'am. I had four; two were killed, one is a prisoner.

  Marmee March : [deeply moved]  You've done a great deal for your country, sir.

  Elderly man : Oh, not a mite more than I ought, ma'am. I'd go myself if I was any use. Thank you for the overcoat.

  Marmee March : Wait a minute...

  Marmee March : [giving him some money]  I hope you find him better.

  Elderly man : Thank you, ma'am. God bless you; merry Christmas. Merry Christmas!

  Marmee March : Merry Christmas!
