I came across a little volume
which I thought you would like.

1:16:05
It is not complete by any means,
but as it is quite a cheap book...

1:16:09
...and seems to be a fairly scholarly job,
I am sending it along by book post today.

1:16:15
Price: $1.35.
1:16:18
It looks very nice.
1:16:21
We are all well and jogging along as usual.

My eldest daughter, Sheila, 24,
suddenly decided to be a teacher...

1:16:29
...so threw up her secretarial job
two years ago to go to college.

1:16:36
She has another year to go, so it will be
a long time before our children...

1:16:40
...will be able to keep us in luxury.
1:16:44
Love from all here, Frank.
1:17:17
Very nice. Very tasty.

- It's more than 12 years. It was...

1:17:30
That's enough Chaucer-made-easy.
1:17:32
It has the schoolroom smell of
Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare.

1:17:36
I'm glad I read it.
1:17:38
I liked reading about the nun
who ate so dainty with her fingers...

1:17:41
...she never dripped any grease on herself.
I could never make that claim.

1:17:46
Wasn't anything else intrigued me much,
it's just stories.

1:17:50
If Chaucer had kept a diary,
telling what it was like to be a clerk...

1:17:54
...in the palace of Richard III,
that I'd learn Old English for.

1:17:59
"The reader will not credit
that such things could be..."
