...and the tin of tongue,
you would know how grateful we are.
:38:06
I don't like that it came
all the way from America.
:38:09
It only came from Denmark, Auntie.
:38:14
It's good to know that someone
so many miles away...
:38:18
...can be so kind and generous
to people they haven't even seen.
:38:23
I think everyone in the firm feels the same.
:38:27
If you know of anything that
you would like sent over from London...
:38:31
...I will be most happy to see to it for you.
:38:35
Sincerely, Bill Humphries.
:38:49
What a treat! What a treat!
:39:12
Dear Miss Hanff:
:39:13
I expect you are worried that
we have not thanked you for your parcels...
:39:17
...and are probably thinking
that we are an ungrateful lot.
:39:22
The truth is,
I have been chasing around the country...
:39:25
...in and out of various stately homes
of England...
:39:28
...trying to buy a few books
to fill up our sadly depleted stock.
:39:35
My wife was starting
to call me "The Lodger..."
:39:38
...just went home for bed and breakfast.
:39:40
But when I arrived home
with a nice piece of meat...
:39:43
...to say nothing of dried eggs and ham...
:39:45
...then she thought I was a fine fellow,
and all was forgiven.
:39:49
It is a long time since we saw
so much meat all in one piece.
:39:58
Lots 40 through 49 are on the next landing.
