Please, take a seat.
:06:11
- Cigarette?
- No, thank you.
:06:14
Our work here is mainly technical specifications,
:06:18
insurance and shipping documents,
company records and legal contracts.
:06:27
Your manuscript took my staff rather by surprise.
:06:31
- They finished it, though?
- Of course.
:06:34
Of course.
:06:35
May I ask who normally types your work?
:06:39
My mother.
:06:40
- Your mother?
- Yes, she prefers it to knitting.
:06:43
If you don 't want my custom,
just say so.
:06:46
What I read I personally found very stimulating.
:06:50
And your staff?
:06:52
Too stimulating.
:06:54
But they have no taste for such things.
:07:00
My private address,
if I can ever be of assistance.
:07:05
Thank you.
:07:12
Are your books in any way autobiographical?
:07:16
Totally.
:07:17
What an exciting life you must have had,
even better than Frank Harris.
:07:22
Oh, Frank was a novice.
:07:23
You have my card.
Don 't hesitate to touch me.
:07:53
Yes, I remember that day all right.
:07:56
Around noon I'd collected the manuscript
of my latest novel, The Organ Grinder.
