I should be, if...
certain things were different.

:27:06
Things are always different
from what they might be.

:27:13
I shall not live many years...
:27:16
but I hope long enough to see
what Isabel does with herself.

:27:19
I should like
to do something for her.

:27:22
- I should like to make her rich.
- What do you mean by rich?

:27:26
