:04:01
With your permission, young sir.
:04:04
''My dearest son, John:
:04:06
''l write while l have the strength.
:04:09
''Make your way to Moonfleet,
:04:11
''and there seek out a gentleman
named Jeremy Fox...
:04:16
''who, as l hear,
has returned from the colonies
:04:19
''to live in the house
which was my home.
:04:23
''l do not know
what the years have done to him.
:04:28
''But l do knowthat he will be
your friend for my sake.
:04:33
''God bless and keep you both.''
:04:46
lt's always a pleasure
to see such friendly faces.
:05:00
Come to the fire, my dear.
:05:04
My business here
will not detain me long.
:05:14
Greening!
:05:19
Last night, Master Greening,
l dined with lord Ashwood.
:05:22
The dinner was excellent,
but deficient in spirits.
:05:26
This was the more surprising since
l had recently sent his lordship
:05:29
by special messenger
four casks of French brandy.
:05:33
The stuff was delivered.
:05:34
To whom? And how much did
you take for it, Master Greening?
:05:38
Maybe l don't choose to say.
:05:40
And maybe the others
don't choose to...
:05:47
A good price, l hope!
:05:48
For it's the last delivery you'll be
making in many a day! Get out!
:05:58
Mr. Fox, talking of deliveries,
here's one just come.
