...to the bookshop for me
and give them to Frank Doel.
:59:05
Tell him they're for the two girls
and Nora, his wife.
:59:08
Your mother says I am not to pay for them
as she got them at the sale at Saks.
:59:14
She'll donate them to the shop.
She's feeling pro-British.
:59:20
Ellery raised me to $250 a script.
:59:24
If it keeps up, I'll go to England
and browse around my bookshop myself.
:59:32
If I have the nerve.
:59:34
I write them the most outrageous letters
from a safe 3,000 miles away.
:59:39
I'd probably walk in there one day...
:59:41
...and walk right out again
without telling them who I am.
:59:51
Good dog! What a good girl you are!
:59:56
You're a good girl.
Come on. Let's go home!

Dear Helene:
1:00:07
We are at a loss to know
how you managed the nylons...
1:00:10
...which appeared as if by magic.
1:00:13
When I got back from lunch
they were on my desk with a note:
1:00:17
"From Helene Hanff."
1:00:20
No one seems to know
how or when they arrived.
1:00:23
The girls are thrilled and are planning
to write to you themselves.
1:00:29
I am sorry to say our friend,
Mr. George Martin, who has been so ill...
1:00:35
...passed away in hospital last week.
1:00:38
He was with the firm for many years.
1:00:40
So, with that loss,
and the king dying so suddenly as well...
1:00:45
...we are a rather mournful crowd
at the moment.
