A Good-Bye from the Carriage

When Mr. Brighton visits Pony's Home to hold a barbecue in the garden for all the orphans, Annie realizes Mr. Brighton has ulterior motives. Mr. Brighton warmed to Candy's lively, generous nature and hopes to convince his wife Jane to adopt Candy on his next visit to the orphanage. Candy makes sure she will not be separated from Annie: when Mr. Brighton introduces Candy to his wife, Candy pretends she wets her bed every night. Meanwhile the quiet and polite Annie has caught Mrs. Brighton's eye, and the Brightons choose to adopt Annie. Feeling betrayed, Candy runs off at night, but Annie searches her and apologizes for having been envious. When Annie asks Candy's permission to go and live with the Brightons, Candy gives her blessing and promises to take care of Annie's pet raccoon Klint, since Mrs. Brighton does not like animals.
