we couldn't hardly speak the money and

this bag was all waiting on his desk and

almost like that

I don't believe if he had been paralyzed

on both sides instead of only all down

his right side I'm speechless to either

make me understand as I was coming up at

3 o'clock late but if I am it's because

I was kept home with my son Enoch he's

his side and thus are Enoch to look

after to it was most kind of you to come

only opened pray that they won't am

afraid paralytic stroke he won't get

over that

he was the front door mrs. can't use the

front door don't know where you'll find

another rent collector that's worth his

salt in this ten I can't think what you

do Mrs S ways I shall collect the rents

myself

well my Guerra I do think he might have

tried to show a little bit money then

you surely are serious about collecting

those rents yourself are you mother see

of course I'm serious

I shouldn't have a serious tell me that

pray serious why shouldn't I be serious

tell me that prayer I shall tell you

mother I know yes I shall be scathing -

I shall be wittily scathing

[Music]

[Music]

why shouldn't I collect the rents myself

okay you're too bad sometimes anyhow

I've quite decided then what's the good

of talking about it but why shouldn't I

collect the rents myself I'm not asking

you to collect them and I shall save

that 5% and goodness knows we need it

that property's our only income you're

more likely to lose 25% I'll have some

tea please

you even think I'll be too easy with

those coldest 310 that's because I

shan't not me I'm more likely to be too

hard you'll be too hard and you'll be

too easy to you'll lose the good tenants

and you'll keep the bad ones and the

houses will go to wrack and ruin and

you'll sell all the property at a loss

that's how it'll be and what shall you

do if you're not feeling well and if it

rains on Monday morning's water take

shame why what have I said I didn't

begin you asked me I can't help but I

think it should turn

we ought to be everything to each other

and you know it's not your property it's

only yours for life it's my property how

do you know you've never seen your

father's will

no cuz you never let me see it oh you

ought to have more confidence in your

mother your father had I'm trustee and

executor that's all very well for you

but if the property is managed right I

might find myself slaving when I'm your

age mother and whose fault will it be

however I shall you shall what nothing I

suppose our leadership will be

consulting our own lawyer next

I am strange

just going up to get that thread you

want chop it up

and mask by the thread first or she'll

be closed now I can't

she'll make my nerve scream out

good afternoon miss last ways good

afternoon miss dayson possible for the

time of the year I think so miss last

ways a little sharp for October this

morning perhaps perhaps it was a little

not quite as much as last year though I

remember that last October was very

sharp think it was now you mention it it

brighten up towards the end of the month

so that's there's something better look

forward to let's hope so anyway

not that one should judge one year by

the last oh no one shouldn't well what

can I do for you miss last ways some

thread please miss dissin and what color

would you like blue please blue yes I'm

not time for blue would you prefer Oh

medium I think medium well perhaps you'd

care to study my color card it's so

difficult with thread and there's

nothing more annoying than to get home

and staff work and find one doesn't have

the exact color to match this is my

range of mid blues appear say what you

think is the right one for you take your

time I should thank you the station is

very kind

have you seen they've started work on

the new title yes I did notice that and

believe it's to be quiet large not quite

as large as the Bursley one but then as

I say terminal is not Birds Li quite

right station turned hill is not busy

not Hanbridge either nor old castle nor

long pot and thank goodness for that we

like doing things our own way internal I

love that one please station are you

quite sure now yes Wow

would you say that was precisely mid yes

I think I would just precisely sir

I want to see mr. Karthik you can't see

mr. Karthik mr. car Keeks detained at

the Ambridge Gandhi cold

but if you're in surgery lack it better

see mr. cannon it's mr. cannon as they

generally do see who do you come from

mess come from what named les ways Oh

bless yes this last ways to see you sir

last ways yes sir I'll I'll ask you to

step this way miss anything as this

before

miss les ways yes my name is canon

please have a chair

you've come about the property I suppose

it's about the rent collecting I mean

what does your mother want to do it's

not mother I've come to consult you

myself mother doesn't know I'm nearly 21

and it's really my property you know yes

so you're nearly 21 in December

I'm 21 in December and I think under my

father's will fact is I don't think my

mother will be able to take care of the

property properly and I'm afraid you see

now that mr. Skell horn has had this

paralytic stroke oh yes yes I heard

about that and I was thinking perhaps

mrs. les place had sent you we collect

rents you know well the truth is that

mother hasn't the slightest idea that

I'm here not the slightest and I

wouldn't want to hurt her feelings for

anything but I thought something ought

to be done she has decided to collect

the coldest Street rents herself and she

doesn't fit it to do it and then there's

the question of repairs and I know the

rents are going down I expect it's all

mothers for life but I want there to be

something left for me when she's gone

you see

I've never seen the will I suppose

there's no way of seeing a copy

somewhere I couldn't very well ask

mother again I know all about the will

you do yes I used to be at Toms and

skulls I was there when it was made I

copied it really you're quite right

I remember it perfectly your mother is

what we call tenant for life everything

goes to you in the end well what I want

to know is what did I do

of course without upsetting your mother

you say the property is going down it is

everybody knows that and your mother is

thinking of collecting the rent yourself

well young lady it's very difficult very

difficult your mother being trustee an

executor yes that's what she's always

saying she the trustee and executor

you'd better let me think about it for a

day or two and should I come again oh

you might slip in if you're passing I'll

see what can be done of course it would

never do for you to have any difficulty

with your mother no certainly not I hope

no one will find out that I have been

here because if if it did get two

mothers here nobody will find out

well then

it's been a pleasure miss best ways I

trust I can improve to be of service

good night then miss less place

ring the clock thoroughly every time

that way you'll be able to mop up the

surplus bring it out then no in the

morning you'll have to be done by off

bus six then you light your kitchen fire

only of course she'll get your calls up

first when you get things going a bit

that but I didn't tell you except on

whether the stairs now on weathers did

she give you parlor a third turn out but

bukuvu swaggy bun sera canto so sorry

about that little matter I had to settle

of course your mother showed you I had

no difficulty at all I just asked her

what she wanted to do about the wreck

collecting this is less ways is a very

shrewd lady very shrewd indeed oh yes

she is

I was fine and startled when you

appeared at the door mr. Kalin well

there you see you didn't tell me well I

was pretty near ready to buy at that

Cola Street property so I talked about

that to your mother first it sort of

made a good beginning music I wish you

would sell the place is a slump

very soon your consent will be necessary

to any sale really I should consent soon

enough I can't bear to walk down that

Street I don't think your mother would

care to sell if you ask me what are your

charges be

oh there's no challenge oh I must pay

you something I come no you mustn't

very kind of you not a bit I've got a

job out of this don't forget that we

don't collect rents for nothing you know

especially called a street sort of rings

so you've been looking at my Victor Hugo

yes quite surprising really when I was a

pupil at the Chatwin school we had a

teacher there called Miss Miranda she

used to take us for optional French and

one of the poems in there well that was

the one that Miss Miranda used to

dictate to us to learn by heart he

brought that to us from right back to me

I can tell you quite a coincidence I

thought I only brought these up here

because they're nicely bound and they

hope to fill up the shelves

not much use in a lawyer's office you

know ah miss madenda yes well it's not

as wonderful as all that

my father used to give her lessons in

French this Hugo was his he thought a

great deal of it

the bookmark was in at that page I

didn't I wouldn't be a bit astonished if

he hadn't lent her this very book

curious isn't it yes I suppose you're

very fond of reading no not really I

should have said you were a very great

reader well what do you do with yourself

eh I just waste my time

where you'll be getting married one of

these days I don't want to get married

then what do you want I don't know

life isn't easy for a woman of spirit

who sees some other purpose than just

looking after a man especially in the

five toes is it different elsewhere

I dare say nothing I hate the tongues

yes yes I can believe you would but

surely you haven't always lived here

always my grandfather made teapots my

father too but you don't speak like a

native

they taught Kensington in a chapter in

school

I tell you what you ought to do you

should take up photography yes Pitman

shorthand you know shorthand why why

it's gonna be the great think of the

future but never was anything like it

does it lead to anything but I should

say it does it leads to everything that

is nothing it won't lead to it's the key

of the future look at Jason he's taking

it up now he's giving lessons in it

you've got a robo buddies aren't Street

buddy shop I I can't tell you how he

staggered me he wrote in shorthand as

fast as ever I could read to him and

then he read back what he Britain

without one single slip boy it's a thing

that'll revolutionize business

revolutionize and it's spreading Italy

the Open Sesame to everything anybody

that can write 120 words a minute will

be able to walk into any situation he

wants walk straight into it

there never has been anything like it

never look there look funny no their

strokes and curves Stokes

curves and dots that's all it is but

there's power

you know those symbols there there's a

magic there if you can master it

it must be very interesting

I don't mind telling you this I've got

something coming along pretty soon

I've got something coming along pretty

soon well they'll be scope for a young

lady who can write shorthand well I

can't tell you what it is but it's

something different from anything

there's ever been in this town and

better we should go and see Jason have a

talk with him I can't convince you

perhaps he might oh I'm sure you're

right uh-huh you think about it I think

what you could be the first lady

stenographer in all the five towns

that's what you could be if you wanted

to

I'm scooter

I'd like you to take that Hugo I daresay

it might interest you remind you of old

time oh no you can return it whenever

you like

please it's very kind of uh I'll wrap it

up for you

by a couple of in steamer then oh I was

forgetting you're not supposed to have

seen me are you good day miss less
