“Darling! Just one thing more.”
“Yes?” Tina murmured through her dream.
“I want you to promise me—”
“Everything, everything, you darling mother!”
“Well, then, that when you go away tomorrow—at the very last moment, you understand—”
“Yes?”
“After you’ve said goodbye to me, and to everybody else—just as Lanning helps you into the carriage—”
“Yes?”
“That you’ll give your last kiss to Aunt Charlotte. Don’t forget—the very last.”

The Old Maid (1939)dir. Edmund Goulding
