We feel he died of a broken heart.
:08:04
Pooh, there's no such thing.
:08:06
Indeed, if you have no heart to break.

In your letter, you said
the creditors had administered...

:08:13
and nothing was left for you?
:08:15
We tried to sell the house...
:08:17
but no one seemed to want
a little home like ours.

:08:20
So you spent what little remained
coming all the way to London...

:08:23
to see what I could do for you?
:08:27
It was your brother's dying wish...
:08:29
that you might do something
for his children.

:08:32
How is it, when a man dies
without property of his own...

:08:34
he thinks he has the right
to dispose of others'?

:08:37

:09:11
No.
:09:12
Noggs, where's the morning paper
I left on my desk?

:09:15
- On my desk.
- Bring it to me.

:09:17
"Bring it to me."
:09:19
Stop parroting me.
:09:20
I wish I was a parrot. I'd fly away.
:09:23
I wish you were a parrot, too.
I'd wring your neck.

:09:26
- Read that.
- What is it, Nicholas?

:09:29
An advertisement.
