... met his end.
That was so very sad but, dare I say, I saw it coming. Made it all the sadder.
He was the only one of the children that stood behind Emma. He never thought of her as a "housekkeper" but as a Mother. Ceetainly, the others came to see her this way at the end of the movie as well but the way they treated her before that was deplorable!
Anyway -- this was a WONDERFUL film. Certaily one of those you can honestly say: "They don't make them like that anymore."
Marie Dressler was a wonderful actress!!
