1:27:00
...and imparted his knowledge
with kindness to all and sundry.
1:27:05
If you wish, I could send them to you.
1:27:11
At times, I don't mind telling you,
I was very jealous of you...
1:27:16
...as Frank so enjoyed your letters...
1:27:18
...and they, or some,
were so like his sense of humor.
1:27:23
Also, I envied your writing ability.
1:27:27
Frank and I were so very much opposites.
1:27:31
He so kind and gentle...
1:27:34
...and me with my Irish background
always fighting for my rights.
1:27:41
I miss him so.
1:27:44
Life was so interesting.
1:27:46
He, always explaining and trying
to teach me something of books.
1:27:55
My girls are wonderful,
and in this I am lucky.
1:28:00
I suppose so many like me are all alone.
1:28:04
Please excuse my scrawl.
1:28:07
With love, Nora.
1:28:15
Dear Kay and Brian:
1:28:17
I take time out from cleaning
my bookshelves and sitting on the rug...
1:28:21
...surrounded by books everywhere.
I wish you a bon voyage.
1:28:26
I hope you and Brian have a ball in London.
Maybe it's just as well I never got there.
1:28:31
I dreamed about it for so many years.
1:28:34
I used to go to English movies
just to look at the streets.
1:28:40
Years ago, a guy I knew told me
that people going to England find...
1:28:43
...exactly what they're looking for.
1:28:46
I said I'd go looking for
the England of English literature.
1:28:49
He nodded and said, "It's there."
1:28:55
Maybe it is and maybe it isn't.
1:28:58
Looking around the rug,
one thing's for sure.
