Nice Little Program

I've seen episodes of this show before and knew Alice changed, but finally I am watching it straight thru.

I am watching "Matchmaker" when Farnaby sends Mulberry out with her neice. Four more episodes and it shall end.

I too believe I heard it was cancelled before it was finished.

I think it is rather obvious that he told her it was her time and took her away. I will even go so far as to say everything was left to the more-than-deserving Bert and Alice.

Having just watched "On Borrowed Time" from 1939 with Lionel Barrymore, a story about an old man who tricks Death, named Mr. Brink (played by Sir Cedric Hardwicke) into climbing a tree that Barrymore had made a wish; whoever climbed it could only come down when he said so. So now he had Death caught in the tree, he couldn't die.

In the end, Barrymore's grandson endured a horrible accident and was paralyzed. Barrymore had no choice but to go to Death and set him free.

I suppose that Barrymore was found in his wheelchair out by the tree, holding his young grandson, who also had died. Death also claimed the boy.

I imagine Farnaby was found, perhaps in her bedroom, no doubt by Bert and Alice. Who else could mourn her and handle the shock but these two?

I wonder how Mulberry's sudden absence would be explained? Truthfully, the only ones who I would wonder about would be Bert and Alice and what they would think about his departure.

I don't see them calling the police, thinking he had done her harm. I would imagine they were just glad he was gone.

Seems only fitting, they would say. Him taking off like that when she passes on.
