As Martha wouldn't dream of burdening
the parish with wear and tear of the pedals and bellows,
:35:12
while waiting for the new priest to be appointed,
she practiced without a note ever leaving the organ,
:35:18
and was therefore not really
in need of anyone to turn her pages.
:35:23
And God knows that Mr. and Mrs. Henson's son
did not need any help with his books,
:35:30
and that the family had taken Grace

:35:38
And although Liz's hands had improved

Thomas Edison was a doctor and
of indisputable health and he did not need care,

Actually Chuck was the only one
"not yet hooked", as Tom put it.
:36:01

:36:40
Vera she would do anything to go,
but she's got no one to mind Achilles while she is gone.
:36:46
She trusts the girls mastering their iambs

:36:51
So this is where you come in.
I said that you could watch him tomorrow afternoon.
:36:56
Now, I will try and stall her on her way home
and with a bit of luck, Chuck'll get back before she does
