The last two or three or....
:13:06
Oliver, you wouldn't want to
buy it back yourself, would you?

:13:11
Yes, l would, Carlotta.
:13:18
But l'd find it rather difficult just now.
:13:21
Why, Oliver...
:13:24
l always thought of you
having all the money in the world.

:13:27
l thought so, too, for a time.
:13:31
When l think of Oliver Jordan lll....
:13:34
l dropped that years ago.
:13:37
Dear Oliver, you were sweet.
:13:40
So serious. So respectful.
:13:45
l was very fond of you, Oliver.
:13:47
l was very much in love with you, Carlotta.
:13:50
You were the most entrancing creature
in the world, and l was at your feet.

:13:56
So was all New York.
:13:58
lf you went to a restaurant, it was made.
:14:02
lf you wore a certain hat,
it became the rage.

:14:06
l was rather gorgeous, wasn't l?
:14:09
Remember? They named
everything after me.

:14:13
Cigars, race horses...
:14:16
perfumes, battleships.
:14:21
They were a little previous on that.
:14:24
But one thing l shall always remember.
:14:27
The day you were 21 ...
:14:30
you asked me to marry you, Oliver.
:14:32
What a young fool
you must have thought me.

:14:35
No, l thought it very sweet of you.
:14:38
You see, l was 30-ish.
:14:42
l remember l went home and wept a little.
:14:45
They didn't often ask me to marry them.
:14:48
You broke my heart when you refused me,
Carlotta.

:14:50
So l buried my grief
in the shipping business.

:14:53
Dear Oliver.
:14:55
Mr. Packard is here now.
:14:57
Tell him to come right in.
Do you mind, Carlotta?
