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.
1:29:03
It's here.
1:29:09
The blessed man who sold me all my books
died a few months ago.
1:29:15
And Mr. Marks
who owned the shop is dead.
1:29:19
But Marks & Co. Is still there...
1:29:21
...though there's some talk
that it might be demolished, God forbid!
1:29:30
If you happen to pass
by 84 Charing Cross Road...
1:29:33
...kiss it for me!
1:29:35
I owe it so much.
