Mattie vs Martha
Storyboard Text
- Here we see a catfight between Martha Miller and Mattie Gokey. Apparently, moments earlier Ada had heard Martha arguing with Royal, Mattie's fiance and soon to be husband.
- "And then there's Emmie Hubbard's land, twelve acres. Nice the way it nestles in between the Loomises' land and your father's isn't it? Funny, too, how it happens to be up for auction next month."
- "Oh, there's an interested party all right, but he's not from the city. He lives right in Eagle Bay and his name is Royal Loomis."
- "Iva's been saving for two years. Skimming a quarter here, fifty cents there off the egg money or butter money. She stitched up two quilts over the winter and sold them to Cohen's. She's the one who pushed Arn to slap a lien on Emmie. Said it wasn't fair that Emmie got to slide all the time when everyone else paid their taxes."
- "She's also got herself a nice little bundle and she's giving it to Royal so he can buy the Hubbard land and farm it. And like I said, a few acres as a wedding gift from your pa, Mattie, and Royal's pa, too, would round it out nicely, wouldn't it?"
