:12:00
...that the chair is painted yellow.
:12:03
You'd be the only guy in the know.
:12:05
Imagine! Your friends,
you could tell them....
:12:09
That hurt!
:12:25
Having recently arrived in America...
:12:28
...where so many Europeans have found
a haven before...
:12:31
...l decided to spend a peaceful summer...
:12:34
...in the attractive resort town
of Ramsdale, New Hampshire.
:12:39
Some English translations I had made
of French poetry...
:12:42
...had enjoyed some success
and I had been appointed...
:12:45
...to a lectureship at Beardsley College,
Ohio, in the fall.
:12:50
Friends had given me several addresses
in Ramsdale...
:12:53
...where lodgings were available
for the summer.
:13:00
Mr. Hofsteader said that
you're going to be staying all summer.
:13:03
Well, that was only a tentative plan.
:13:05
Monsieur, if what you're needing
is peace and quiet...
:13:09
...l can assure you, you couldn't get
more peace anywhere.
:13:12
Yes, it is very--
:13:15
It's very peaceful.
:13:16
Now, this would be your room.
:13:18
It's what you might call a studio,
well, you know, a semi-studio affair.
:13:23
It's very male...
:13:26
...and quiet.
:13:27
We're really very fortunate
here in West Ramsdale.
:13:31
Culturally, we're a very advanced group...
:13:33
...with lots of good Anglo-Dutch
and Anglo-Scotch stock...
:13:38
...and we're very progressive intellectually.
:13:41
That is immediately apparent.
:13:43
I do hope you'll want to address our club.
:13:47
There's a nice view from this window...
:13:49
...of the front lawn.
:13:51
A good place for you to do your writing....
:13:54
-Shelves for your books.
-That's very nice, yes.
:13:57
I am chairman of
the Great Books Committee.
