Beat the Devil Page #6

Minerals which are indispensable

to the production

of atomic energy.

Harry's land simply teams

with uranium.

It wouldn't surprise me

to see him become

the uranium king.

So you see,

my husband isn't such a ninny

as you may have imagined.

It might very well be worth

your while to go in with him.

The potential mineral wealth

of Africa

has hardly been scratched.

So I was telling you

last night.

But of course,

it's a well-known fact.

Billy-Boy.

Had a happy day?

Very.

I'm so glad.

What an attractive woman

Mrs. Chelm is.

Is that what you called me over

to tell me?

- Who are the Chelms?

- They're English.

Going out to British East.

They have a coffee plantation.

Any money in coffee?

No. But there's a type

of Englishman goes off

to coffee plantations

without caring

whether there's any money

in it or not.

Relatives leave them

coffee plantations

and they go out to them.

But why this sudden interest

in the Chelms?

I just like to know who's

making friends with my friends.

Well, now you know.

I don't believe

one word...

You know,

if I ever leave you,

it will be for someone

of the type of Harry Chelm.

Well, bully for you.

I suppose

that type of Englishman

is like a story I once heard.

An English gardener in England

was showing some Americans one

of those wonderful English lawns

and of course

they wanted to know how

to make a lawn like that,

and this English gardener said-

He said all you have to do

is get some good grass

and roll it every day

for 600 years.

I heard that story

before you were born.

Englishmen tell it when they're

feeling down in the mouth.

You just don't understand

the Chelm type.

You're not even listening.

You never do.

Some day I'll say goodbye

and you won't hear that either.

Some day I shall really

meet my type

and run off with him,

and you'll be simply amazed.

That's possible.

George Moore said-

I learned it by heart years ago.

He said that,

"Each great passion

is the fruit

of many fruitless years."

George Moore was a very

distinguished English writer,

you know.

Except that he was Irish.

Cheer up, sugar.

If I make a million

on this deal,

I'll buy you

an old English lawn,

one we can roll up

and take with us.

Billy.

Good morning.

Well, what's our wide-eyed

Irish leprechaun

doing outside my door?

Why do you always make jokes

about my name? Huh?

In Chile

the name of O'Hara is-

Is a tiptop name.

Many Germans in Chile have

become to be called O'Hara.

Good morning, Mr. O'Hara.

Madame. My respects.

Perhaps Mr. O'Hara would

like something to drink?

Yes, uh, maybe perhaps, uh,

a little whiskey, huh?

Uh, very weak, please.
