Much better! This scene kind of reminds me a little of the one with Bobby Harron and Dorothy Gish in the cornfield in An Unseen Enemy, though this scene is certainly more picturesque, with the daisies.

That's an actress I'm not familiar with. She seems to have had a long, successful career. Here's another one of her.

That's a beautiful portrait of her! She plays Tinkerbell in Peter Pan (1924), which I plan on watching soon.

Have you watched the Mary Martin version? It's on YouTube. If you haven't, it's a really great watch.
