to the emergency, tour little Jamesy gets.

Hurry this up, boys.

Hello, Johnny.

Hi, Paddy.

And what is it now?

Oh, just an old woman.

You don't say.

Hung out in Babcock's Beanery.

Kept herself alive eating

what people left.

You don't say.

Yeah.

Some bum decided to kick himself off

and put cyanide in his cheese sandwich.

You don't say.

Yeah, and he kicked off.

He did?

Yeah, he ate half of it

and threw the other half away.

He did?

And she ate it.

She died?

She did.

Well, so what?

That's all, she's gone.

look through her clothes, Ms Benton,

and see if you can find any marks

of identification.

Poor old thing...

Starved to death.

A crime, that's what it is.

A disgrace to our civilization.

Right in the midst of plenty

the poor old creature starving to death.

Doctor, will you please look here.

Doctor Forbes, bonds!

Railroad bonds.

Her clothes are lined with them.

Bless my soul.

Get that lining off.

Look, stocks, bonds.

More bonds.

Keys, stocks, more bonds, bonds...

Safe deposit keys.

More bonds...

I'll bet these are jewels.

Merciful heavens...

Aren't they beautiful.

Gold. I tell you, she's a walking bank.

Run a line to 57521

Mr Wallingham's office.

Hold the line, please, I'll connect you.

Miss Martin speaking,

Mr Wallingham's assistant.

Yes, just a minute.

Blair at the emergency.

He won't speak to anybody but you.

Go ahead.

Hello, Wallingham speaking.

Oh, hello, Blair.

Hello?

Splendid.

Well, you've done admirably.

One moment, did you get the number

of the safety deposit boxes?

I never thought of that.

All right, I will, okay.

If you will, please.

Call me back. Thank you.

A good tip?

Well, perhaps.

What is it?

A derelict old lady with her garments lying

with gilt-edge securities

How exciting.

What a chance for us.

I love your enthusiasm.

Well, aren't you the least bit

excited yourself?

Well, frankly, yes.

I must confess I get quite a glow

when I think of some superannuated spinster...

or a poor harassed little clerk

to whom you shall bring the glad tidings

that they've suddenly come into

a great fortune.

I should say.

There's a lot of human interest

in this racket.

Oh, my dear child...

Please don't refer to our enterprise

as a racket.

Jamais...

Well, we do take commissions,

don't we?

Isn't the laborer worthy of his hire?

You know, you have so much feeling

for the poor little guys

You're not tricky and underhanded like...

well, like some of our competitors.

To whom do you refer?

I'm not mentioning any names.

I think I know who you mean.

Miss Martin speaking.

Yes.

Oh, Blair. Mr Wallingham's right here.

Yes, Blair.

Mr Wallingham...

I got the numbers
