Yes, sweetheart?
:01:41
A girl wants to see you.
Her name's Wonderly.

:01:44
A customer?
:01:45
I guess so. You'll want to see her, anyway.
She's a knockout.

:01:48
Shoo her in, Effie, darling. Shoo her in!
:01:54
Will you come in, Miss Wonderly?
:01:56
Thank you.
:02:02
-Won't you sit down, Miss Wonderly?
-Thank you.

:02:04
I inquired at the hotel
for a reliable private detective.

:02:07
They mentioned you.
:02:08
Suppose you tell me about it
from the very beginning.

:02:11
I'm from New York.
:02:14
I'm trying to find my sister.
:02:16
I believe she's here in San Francisco...
:02:18
...with a man by the name of Thursby,
Floyd Thursby.

:02:22
I don't know where she met him.
:02:24
We've never been as close
as sisters ought to be.

:02:27
If we had, Corinne would have told me
she was running away with him.

:02:30
Our parents are in Honolulu.
I must find her before they return.

:02:33
-They'll be back on the first.
-You've had word of your sister?

:02:36
A letter from her about two weeks ago.
:02:39
It said nothing except
that she was all right.

:02:41
I sent a telegram begging her
to come home.

:02:43
I sent it to a general delivery address,
the one she gave.

:02:46
I waited a week and no answer came
so I decided to come out here myself.

:02:50
I wrote her that I was coming.
I shouldn't have, should l?

:02:52
It's not always easy to know what to do.
:02:55
You haven't found her?
:02:56
No. I wrote in my letter that I'd be at
the St. Mark and for her to meet me there.
