Very nice. Very tasty.
1:17:24
It's been 12 years
since I was in London with that play.
1:17:26
- I don't believe it.
- 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..."
1:18:03
...Walton says somewhere or other...
1:18:07
"...but I was there and I saw it."
1:18:11
That's for me.
I'm a great lover of "I was there" books.
1:18:15
- It was a rotten play.
- I thought you liked it.
1:18:18
I hated it.
1:18:24
You should be grateful.
That play took you to London.
1:18:29
Remember how jealous I was?
1:18:32
You were.
1:18:34
I was.
1:18:40
I was!
1:18:46
Dear Helene: Good to hear from you again.
1:18:51
We're still here,
getting older and busier, but no richer.
1:18:56
We had a pleasant summer
with more tourists than usual...
