In this one Nesbitt remembers his own family's houskeeper, Annie Swenson. Annie came to American around the turn of the 20th century as part of a great wave of Swedish emigration to the United States, including many single young women who mostly found work in domestic service. She arrives at the Nesbitt house on a two-week trial period in which she isn't even allowed to send for her trunk, but she impresses Mr. Nesbitt with her cooking skills and wins a permanent job. Young John Nesbitt marvels at Annie's tireless work ethic and good-hearted nature. Finally Annie marries the local handyman and leaves her position with the Nesbitts, a moment that symbolizes the end of the turn-of-the-century Swedish immgration wave.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Film debut of Kathleen Freeman as Annie.

Annie Was a Wonder / int_f5f79e56 | comment |
Hard-Work Montage: Nesbitt in his narration marvels how hard Annie worked for the family, as a montage plays of Annie performing various domestic tasks while her legs go up and down the stairs. It ends with a last shot of Annie's legs going up the stairs, much slower, as she goes to bed exhausted. | |
