and it's still my home.

Is that the way you feel about it?

Exactly.

I'm with you kid, but I'm scared.

I've been through the worst of it.

The family doctor, the servants,

you yourself, you sap.

It's a cinch.

Hello?

Yes, this is ..

Arthur Drake speaking.

What's that?

You know what's that.

When do we get that check?

You know what for.

Oh yes, surely.

Who is this talking?

This is Clark speaking.

Oh, Mr Clark?

You are going to what?

He hung up.

Who?

Mister Clark.

Who is Mister Clark?

The guy I was talking to.

Oh, him?

He wants a check.

What for?

- I don't know what for.

For how much or where to send it.

He said if he doesn't get it in tomorrow

morning's mail I'll know what to expect.

Oh yeah?

Well, what do you expect?

I expect I'm going to get into a jam.

Yeah. I've been through the worst of it.

The doctor, the family servants.

Oh, it's a cinch.

Say listen, Buddy.

It's getting hotter round here, kid.

And you're sitting in the middle.

You'd better jump while

the jumping is good.

Maybe you're right.

- You're telling me.

Why you poor sap, even it

they don't find you out ..

What are you going to do with that?

You can't even sign your brother's name.

Oh .. you could, but ..

It keeps one confined so ..

Yeah, I hadn't thought of it.

Well that leaves us right

back where we started.

Nobody ever had a house this big ..

Without some loose change

hanging around somewhere.

A few bucks and we'll be

back in that man-sized war.

Come on. Stop standing

there talking to yourself.

There is nothing there. I've looked.

Yeah?

Morning, Parsons.

- Morning, Miss Merrow.

How is Mr Drake this morning?

- He ..

He was alright Miss Merrow, but I ..

- But what? - I'm worried.

Why? What's happened?

Nothing has happened,

Miss Merrow, but ..

Ever since his brother's death, he's ..

- I suppose the shock and all ..

Perhaps that's it, but ..

He hasn't seemed like himself.

Well .. that's an improvement.

Here it is.

How much?

Imagine looking all over the place

for this and here it is, right in ..

In plain view.

Always glad to be of assistance to a man

who is a friend of my poor brother.

"I don't know who the dame is."

"Beat it and wait at the hotel."

"Until I get in touch."

There you are, sir.

Five hundred dollars.

I hope that will help you out.

I hope it will.

When you .. get fixed up I want

you to come back and see me.

I am anxious to hear more

about my poor brother.

Oh yeah. Sure. I'll come back.

I'd like to have you

as my guest for a time.

And .. by the way, if things don't

go well with you let me know.

I might put you in the

way of getting something.

Yeah, you might put me in
