:31:02
-Father.
-Yes, Julia?
:31:05
Remember, I know what I want.
:31:08
Come in.
:31:09
I hope I'm not late. I got caught in traffic.
:31:12
Father, this is Mr. Case.
:31:13
-How do you do?
-How do you do, sir?
:31:15
My daughter Linda.
:31:16
-How do you do?
-How do you do?
:31:17
And my son, Edward.
:31:19
-How do you do?
-How do you do?
:31:24
Ned, if you and your sisters
will do the telephoning you spoke about...
:31:28
...I shall try and entertain Mr. Case.
:31:31
We'll be back in a few minutes, Johnny.
:31:36
What would we do without the telephone?
:31:41
I believe you had something
you wanted to do, Linda?
:31:44
Me, Father?
:31:46
I can't remember a thing.
:31:52
We seem to be enjoying quite
an unusual freedom from snow this winter.
:31:56
I like snow.
That's why I went up to Lake Placid.
:31:59
Placid? Yes, my daughter Julia
has just come from there.
:32:02
Yes, I know.
:32:04
-You're in business in New York, Mr. Case?
-Yes, sir. I'm with Sloan and Hobson.
:32:09
An excellent firm.
:32:10
-A born New Yorker?
-No, no. I was born in Baltimore.
:32:13
July 6, 1908. I'm 30.
:32:15
I used to have a lot of good friends
in Baltimore.
:32:19
Let me see.
The Whites, the Clarence Whites.
:32:23
-Possibly you knew them?
-I don't believe I ever did.
:32:26
-No? And there was Archer Fuller's family.
-I'm afraid not.
:32:30
Let me see, Colonel Evans, old Philip Evans.
:32:34
No.
:32:36
I haven't been there in some years and,
well, I wouldn't know them anyway.
:32:39
You see, my father
had a small grocery store in Baltimore.
:32:43
Yes. He never made a go of it though...
:32:45
...and when he died he left several debts
which Mother worked hard to clear up.
:32:49
I was just a child at the time
and I couldn't help her very much.
:32:52
Mother died the May
before my 16th birthday.
:32:56
How sad.
:32:58
Yes, it was pretty sad.
