Dear Miss Hanff:
:23:06
Please don't let Frank know
I'm writing this.
:23:09
But each time I send you a bill,
I've been dying to slip in a note...
:23:14
...and he might not think it
quite proper of me.
:23:18
That sounds stuffy, and he's not.
:23:20
He's quite nice, really.
:23:22
Very nice, in fact.
:23:24
But he looks on you
as his private correspondent...
:23:27
...as all your letters and parcels
are addressed to him.
:23:31
But I thought I'd write to you on my own.
:23:38
"We all love your letters and try to imagine
what you must be like.
:23:42
"I've decided you're young
and very sophisticated and smart-looking."
:23:50
What's so funny?
:23:53
"Mr. Martin thinks
you must be studious-looking...
:23:56
"...in spite of
your wonderful sense of humor.
:23:58
- "Why don't you send us a snapshot?"
- Why don't you?
:24:02
I'm finally a woman of mystery.
I'm going to keep it that way.
:24:07
- "If you're curious about Frank..."
- Which you are.
:24:10
"He's in his late 30s, quite nice-looking.
:24:14
"Married to a sweet Irish girl.
:24:17
"I believe she's his second wife."
:24:21
- Ready for Act 2, Miss Bellamy.
- Thank you, Elliot.
:24:31
I'll call you, take care.
:24:36
Everyone was so grateful for the parcel.
:24:39
My little ones, girl, 5 and boy, 4,
were in heaven.
:24:45
With the raisins and egg
I was able to make them a cake.
:24:51
I do hope you don't mind my writing.
:24:53
Please don't mention it to Frank.
:24:58
Cecily?
