I sent a message
with a letter -
:39:09
- about a vacancy
for a bookkeeper.
:39:13
I don't know whether it will
have served any purpose?
:39:22
Well now, your handwriting
is nice enough -
:39:25
- but you seem to be
a bit careless with figures.
:39:30
You've dated your letter 1848.
:39:34
Even you aren't that old!
:39:38
Oh, have I? A slight error,
a moment's distraction...
:39:45
But I need a man who never
makes mistakes with figures.
:39:50
Your handwriting is very clear.
And it's a good letter, but...
:39:54
Yes, a pity.
Of course it won't recur.
:39:59
A tiny slip like this doesn't prove
I'm not a good bookkeeper.
:40:04
I'm not saying it does.
:40:06
But it means so much to me
that I've decided on somebody else.
:40:11
You mean the job is taken?
:40:13
Then there's nothing more
to be said!
:40:16
- I'm sorry.
- Bye.
:40:56
- Yes?
- Excuse me, my carriage is waiting.
