...maybe I'II be abIe to take over
that big buiIding there.

:51:04
It used to be an oId butterine factory.
:51:16
Just biIIs.
:51:17
It's funny I don't hear something from him.
:51:20
Who?
:51:21
OId Mr. Lamb.
:51:23
He never answered my Ietter, not a word.
:51:25
You shouId have gone to see him
Iike I toId you, VirgiI, instead of just writing.

:51:30
No, I just couIdn't bring myseIf to face him.
:51:34
Don't worry, dear. You know you toId me
he couIdn't do a thing to you.

:51:38
No, the formuIa ain't patentabIe.
:51:40
There isn't anything
he couId make a question of Iaw.

:51:43
But I wish I knew what he thought
about the whoIe business.

:51:46
It's just morbidness, VirgiI.
:51:48
You don't reaIize what a IittIe bit of a thing
this is to him.

:51:51
I bet he's forgotten aII about it.
:51:53
You're off your base.
:51:54
J.A. Lamb don't forget things.
:51:57
If he owed you money,
he'd cut off his hand to pay you.

:52:01
But if he thought you were trying
to get the best of him...

:52:04
...he'd cut off both hands
to keep you from doing it.

:52:07
Come on, now,
I'II show you the rest of the works.

:52:09
It's getting Iate
and you'II be worrying about supper.

:52:12
No, not tonight.
:52:14
WaIter phoned, he won't be home...
:52:17
...and AIice has gone out
with that nice, young Mr. RusseII.

:52:20
What, again?
:52:21
I shouIdn't be surprised
if they'd be engaged before Iong.

:52:24
And here we go though aII this muck
and moiI to heIp fix things nice for her...

:52:29
...and she just goes ahead
and gets what she wants to anyhow.

:52:32
Things haven't gone as far as that, VirgiI.
:52:59
WiII you have them pIay that again?
