Fine, put them up here.

- Can I help you, sir?

- No, no, I'll take care of these.

Aren't they beautiful?

- Well, what are they?

- Snuff boxes.

- What?

- Snuff. Snuff.

Snuff was first used in the 17th century.

In the 18th century, it was universal.

It's a mild stimulant

and an excellent germicide.

It's been known to kill thousands

and thousands of germs.

- Yes, sir.

- Yes. Try some.

- Oh, no, thanks.

- Oh, go on. It's better than a tonic.

Where will I put it?

Well, you can put it...

I would suggest putting it in your nose.

Just an amateur, just an amateur.

See, it's almost a lost art.

Now, it requires years of great skill.

Now, you watch me.

Watch me, please.

It's like...

It requires...

I won't need you anymore.

Pardon me.

But why can't I go on the beach

with Humbolt?

You shall go on the beach, but not

with Humbolt. Mosley will go with you.

Some fun!

Now, don't forget, Ann. I want you to be

very warm and affectionate to Mosley.

Don't disturb me. I'm working.

Oh, Mosley, dear, so nice to see you back.

We could hardly wait till you got here,

could we, Ann, dear?

- No, we could hardly wait.

- Oh, hello. I've been working on my book.

- Oh, Mosley, haven't you made a mistake?

- A mistake?

Yes, well, you kissed me

and shook hands with Ann instead of...

I was thinking of my book.

But I have a present here for Ann.

Oh, a present. Aren't you kind, Mosley?

Isn't Mosley kind, darling?

Yes, Mother.

His kindness positively bowls me over.

The gold and silver snuff box

continues to be...

the typical gift of sovereigns

to those whom they delight to honor.

- Oh, isn't it lovely, darling?

- Too sweet for words.

It embraces the art and craft

of the gold- and the silversmith.

Do you think you could tear yourself away

from your work long enough take a swim?

No. I must finish my monograph

by the end of the summer.

- But, Mosley, we thought that maybe you...

- No, I'll work till my brain gets fogged...

then I'll join you later.

- But think, maybe just...

- Mother, I'm going for a swim.

- Mosley, dear... Just a second, darling.

- I must work.

- Oh, is this Mr. Mosley Thorpe's room?

- Yes. Yes.

Thank you.

I beg your pardon.

Did you send for a stenographer?

Yes, and a Swiss cheese on rye.

Have you got it with you?

- No.

- That's strange. Sit down.

Thank you.

Do you know anything about snuff boxes?

No, not very much.

Well, you will

before I get through with you.

Shall we begin now?

Oh, yes. Every moment is precious.

Will you have a pinch of snuff?

No, but I'd just as soon join you

in a chew of tobacco.

Oh, Mosley. Ann, here's Mosley.

Am I thrilled.

I came to a stopping place.
