We're very happy
you liked the Stevenson so much.
:11:09
We have sent off the New Testaments
with an invoice listing the amount due...
:11:14
...in both pounds and dollars.
:11:16
We hope you will be pleased with them.
:11:21
What kind of a black,
Protestant Bible is this!
:11:34
Kindly inform the Church of England
they have loused up...
:11:37
...the most beautiful prose ever written.
:11:40
Who told them to tinker
with the Vulgate Latin?
:11:42
They'll burn for it, mark my words.
:11:46
It's nothing to me, I'm Jewish myself.
:11:49
But I have a Catholic and a Methodist
sister-in-law...
:11:52
...a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins
through my great-uncle Abraham...
:11:56
...who was converted, and an aunt
who's a Christian Science healer.
:12:00
I'd like to think none of them would
countenance this Anglican Latin Bible...
:12:05
...if they knew it existed.
:12:06
As it happens,
they don't know Latin existed.
:12:16
I enclose $4 to cover the $3.88 due you.
:12:21
Buy yourself a cup of coffee
with the 12 cents.
:12:24
There's no post office near,
and I'm not running all the way...
:12:27
...to Rockefeller Plaza to stand in line
for a $3.88 money order.
:12:31
If I wait until I get down there
for something else, I won't have the $3.88.
:12:36
I have implicit faith in the U.S. Airmail
and His Majesty's Postal Service.
:12:43
Have you got a copy of Landor's
Imaginary Conversations?
:12:46
I think there are several volumes.
:12:48
I want the one
with the Greek conversations.
:12:51
If it contains a dialogue
between Aesop and Rhodope...
:12:54
...that will be the volume I want.
:12:56
That, I think, is the one we've got.
