:23:02
I'm sorry.
:23:11
I may have to go to Washington
for a few days.
:23:14
When?
:23:16
Tomorrow. I'm sorry,
I should have said it before.
:23:21
On business?
:23:22
There's a patent case coming up
before the Supreme Court.
:23:26
I just got the papers
from Letterblair.
:23:29
Never mind. It's too complicated.
I have enough trouble with this lamp.
:23:34
Let me try that.
:23:37
The change will do you good.
:23:39
And you must be sure
to go and see Ellen.
:23:49
This came for you while you were out.
:23:53
- Do something about this, will you?
- Certainly, sir.
:23:59
Granny's had a stroke.
:24:04
A stroke?
:24:06
Ridiculous.
:24:08
I told them all it was just
an excess of Thanksgiving.
:24:14
Dr. Bencomb acted most concerned
and insisted on notifying everyone...
:24:19
...as if it were the last reading
of my will. You're dear to come.
:24:25
But perhaps you only wanted
to see what I'd left you.
:24:28
Granny, that's shocking!
:24:31
It was shock that did this to me.
No, thank you.
:24:34
It's all due to Regina Beaufort.
:24:37
She came here last night...
:24:40
...and she asked me....
:24:42
She asked me....
She had the effrontery...
:24:47
...to ask me to back Julius.
:24:50
"Not to desert him," she said.
:24:53
"To stand behind our common lineage
in the Townsend family."
:24:58
If you back Julius,
you can see the family through.
