  Sister Monica Joan : [quoting Leigh Hunt's poem]  Jenny kissed me when we met, jumping from the chair she sat in. Time, you thief, who love to get. Sweets into your list put that in!

  Sister Evangelina : You make sure you eat three square meals a day and a proper breakfast. I have my spies. Hear me?

  Cynthia Miller : We will write often. And you must write, too.

  Trixie Franklin : Yes. We want to hear every titbit of enthralling news from the Motherhouse!

  [Cynthia, Trixie, and Jenny embrace, as Sr. Winifred rushes out of the house] 

  Sister Winifred : We've had a call from Joy Higgins in Orient Buildings. Looks like baby's on the way!

  Trixie Franklin : I should go. I'm first on call.

  Sister Winifred : Oh! You stay and wave Nurse Lee off.

  Cynthia Miller : You sure?

  Sister Winifred : Never more so.

  [Sr. Winifred leaves, as Sr. Julienne takes Jenny's hands]

  [Fred helps Jenny get inside the car. Sr. Monica Joan leans through the open window] 

  Sister Monica Joan : [quoting Leigh Hunt's poem]  Say I'm weary, say I'm sad. Say that health and wealth have missed me. Say I'm growing old, but add Jenny kissed me.

  [Sr. Monica Joan kisses Jenny's hand. Sr. Evangelina leads Monica Joan away from the car. As the car drives away, the group on the steps wave goodbye] 

  Mature Jenny : [narrating]  The doors to Nonnatus House were still wide open but my heart had closed. All I could do was try to keep living until I felt alive again.
