That is not what your father
wanted to see me about.

:10:04
Is that what you've been trying
to get me to tell you?

:10:07
As a matter of fact, yes.
:10:10
Very well. Then I'll be trotting along.
:10:19
She had lovely legs. I will say that for her.
:10:22
I did a little superficial research, even
though the job her father had given me...

:10:27
... was a lawyer's job.
:10:29
If Mr Arthur Gwynn Geiger...
:10:30
... Rare Books and First Editions...
:10:33
... turned out to be a blackmailer...
:10:34
... it was still a lawyer's job.
:10:36
Unless there was a lot more to it
than met the eye.

:10:40
At a casual glance I thought
I might have a lot of fun finding out.

:10:54
Can I help you?
:10:56
Do you have a "Chevalier Audubon" 1840
- the full set?

:11:01
Not... at the moment. No.
:11:05
What about a "Ben Hur" 1860?
:11:08
- The one with the erratum on page 116.
- I'm afraid not.

:11:11
You "do" sell books?
:11:13
What does this look like? A banana?
:11:19
Do you collect old manuscripts?
:11:21
- No. Only unpaid bills.
- I see.

:11:28
- Is Mr Geiger expected back?
- I'm afraid not until later.

:11:32
Well, I'll just sit and wait
in one of your charming chairs.

:11:36
- It'll probably be very late.
- Oh, that's all right.

:11:39
I've nothing else to do except... sit here
and think about my trigonometry lesson.

:11:45
Yes.
:11:47
Of course.
