The ,000 Bequest Chapter II

0:00 By George, but it sounds good, Alec.

0:02 Then the shares will be worth how much and when?

0:06 About a year.

0:07 They'll pay 10% half yearly and be worth ,000.

0:11 I know all about it.

0:13 The advertisement is in the Cincinnati paper here.

0:16 Land!

0:17 ,000 for ten in a year.

0:20 Let's jam in the whole capital and pull out ,000.

0:23 I'll write and subscribe right now.

0:25 Tomorrow it may be too late.

0:27 He was flying to the writing desk.

0:29 But Alec stopped him and put him back in his chair.

0:32 She said,

0:33 Don't lose your head so.

0:35 We mustn't subscribe till we've got the money.

0:37 Don't you know that?

0:38 Sally's excitement went down a degree or two,

0:47 He's probably out of his troubles before this.

0:50 It's a hundred to nothing he's selecting his brimstone shovel this very minute.

0:54 Now, I think—

0:55 Alec shuddered and said,

0:56 How can you, Sally?

0:58 Don't talk in that way.

1:00 It is perfectly scandalous.
