Toliver national bank

Is $1,742.07.

I have 3 bonds in Toliver utilities,

Par value 3,000.

3 bonds in union pacific

railroad fives 1932,

And 100 shares of united

states steel preferred.

Really, Mr. Dunn, this

is hardly necessary.

I have a fully paid-Up policy

That will give me $60

weekly at the age of 65.

Anything else?

What did I tell you?

It will be like this the

whole time we're in England.

Suffering cats.

Well, there's no use

making faces at me, Susan.

The lady wants the window open.

She likes cold air.

It's a national characteristic.

Doesn't matter if you and I

here are frozen to the bone.

Doesn't matter if my lumbago

Gets to start up all over again.

No, sir. Give an Englishman a window,

And by heaven, he's going to open it.

It might be he'll find a

nice, icy draft outside.

Oh! Ah...

Susan, you better go

down to your dinner.

This food is bad enough when it's hot.

Did you find out what

time the boat train leaves?

Yes, 10 a.m.

Are you sure you'll be

able to travel tomorrow?

Oh, Im going to get out of this

If they have to carry me

on board on a stretcher.

And, sue, when we get back home,

Don't you ever dare give

me another boiled potato.

And what in heaven's name is that?

It's suet pudding. You put syrup on it

And eat it for dessert.

Do they eat it?

I've seen them.

What a people!

You've got to hand it to them.

They've certainly got

intestinal fortitude.

No, no, please.

Take this stuff out of my sight.

Whew! What an article Im

going to write for the paper

When I get home on my trip to England.

You mean to tell me you came 3,000 miles

To spend two weeks in the bedroom

Of a Bloomsbury boarding house?

Well, Im afraid so.

My dear child, you must stay over.

You must see something of England.

I've seen a good deal of London.

I've seen the British museum and

the national portrait gallery.

Great heavens! Ha ha ha!

No, thank you.

No, thank you!

British museum, eh?

You saw the mummies, eh?

Been to any shows, any dances?

No.

Speaking of dances, Im afraid

I can't play cards tonight.

It's the night of Millicent

Waverlys ball, and, uh...

I thought Id like to go this time.

I hear the king and queen are going.

Have you received your

invitation, colonel?

No, by Jove, I haven't.

Oh, I must give Millicent a ring.

Do you care to come to that

shindig with me tonight?

I don't know whether that

sort of thing interests you,

But everybody will be

there from the king down.

Oh, Id adore it...

if father doesn't mind.

Shall I ask him?

Would you? He'd love to see

someone. He's been so lonesome.

Is that so?

Does he play cards?

No, not much, but he loves chess.

Does he? Ha ha! I used
