have a wife. I'm not married.

Well, what can I do?

Do? What can

you do? I don't... My niece!

I'll wake her up. Uh, no.

She might think... I mean, not that

she'd have any real... I mean...

I'll go upstairs and get some of

her clothes. They'll probably fit.

I think you're about the same

size. Anyway, you wait right here.

Oh, I will. I will.

Uncle Jonathan?

Oh, it's all right, dear.

Go back to sleep.

Well, what...

Nothing. Just let it go.

There. Now, please go!

Well, can I put

them on first?

Oh, oh, yes, of course.

I'll, uh, turn my back.

Oh, thanks.

You haven't asked

me my name.

No, I haven't. Uh, I thought

it was better that way.

I agree.

Do they, uh, fit?

Most of them.

The shoes are

a little big, and the...

Something else is a little

small, but I'll get by.

What? Oh, yes.

You can turn around now.

Will I do?

Well, at least

you won't be cold.

I want to thank you.

Not only for what you did,

but for what

you're going to do.

Going to do?

Forget about this. Oh, yes,

yes, of course. Of course.

Oh, you'd better

take this with you.

Oh. Oh, no, it's stopped.

It has?

Why, so it has. Odd.

"So foul and fair

a day I have not seen. "

That's Shakespeare.

Macbeth, Act One, I know.

You do?

Uh-huh.

Well.

Good night.

Uh, good night.

Macbeth. Act One.

And there are other basic affinities

in the languages of this group.

For example, in all of

them, ancient and modern,

masculine nouns take a feminine number,

and vice versa, from three to 10.

Who can give us an example of

this grammatical idiosyncrasy?

Yes, Mr. Crane?

Are you all right, Mr. Crane?

Would you like to be excused?

Uh, no. I'm all right now.

Uh, it must have

been something I ate.

Uh, an example. The word

for "goat," for instance, is

masculine, but three

goats is feminine.

Oh, very good, Mr. Crane.

That's quite right.

And now, who can tell us in

what parts of the modern world

the Turkish

language is spoken?

Yes, Miss Blakiston.

Actually, although

it's not generally known,

Osmanli is the head of a

large family of tongues.

The Turkish language in its several

dialects is spoken from Central Persia to...

Is something wrong,

Professor Jones?

Uh, wrong? Oh, no, no,

Miss Blakiston.

From Central

Persia to Siberia.

The dialects sometimes

differ greatly.

For example...

Uh, that's fine,

Miss Blakiston, thank you.

But I haven't finished.

Class dismissed.

The sudden pain.

My goodness.
