23:00.080 --> 23:03.920 Well, I'll feed it home, I guess. 23:03.920 --> 23:06.280 Anyhow, I won't need this gun anymore. 23:06.280 --> 23:13.520 My back is sore enough from it. 23:13.520 --> 23:16.560 We stood there and looked at one another, Henry and I. 23:16.560 --> 23:21.080 He doubled his hands into fists and shook them slowly in his sadness. 23:21.080 --> 23:23.160 I too was melancholy. 23:23.160 --> 23:27.400 In the brief time I'd known Henry, I'd grown very fond of him. 23:27.400 --> 23:32.200 Yeah, yeah, that's it, all right. 23:32.200 --> 23:38.000 That's enough to do but feed it on home, that's all that's left to us. 23:38.000 --> 23:40.040 I took my right hand out of my pocket. 23:40.040 --> 23:41.560 I have large hands. 23:41.560 --> 23:45.820 In my right hand nestled the roll of quarters I'd gotten from the bank that morning. 23:45.820 --> 23:48.960 My hand made a large and heavy fist around them. 23:48.960 --> 23:49.960 Henry didn't notice. 23:49.960 --> 23:53.480 What are you looking at me so funny for, Walter? 23:53.480 --> 23:55.660 I just wanted to say good night, Henry. 23:55.660 --> 23:57.200 You had two strikes on me. 23:57.200 --> 23:58.680 Well, this is the big one. 23:58.680 --> 24:01.600 I don't get it. 24:01.600 --> 24:02.960 He got it then. 24:02.960 --> 24:06.480 My fist with nearly a pound of metal in it caught him squarely on the jaw. 24:06.480 --> 24:13.360 For a moment he wavered back and forth on his feet and then. 24:13.360 --> 24:35.120 Henry Eichelberger lay motionless on the ground as limp as a rubber glove. 24:35.120 --> 24:38.280 I found the pearls twined around his ankle inside his left sock. 24:38.280 --> 24:41.840 Well, Henry, I said, although he couldn't hear me, you're a gentleman even if you are 24:41.840 --> 24:42.840 a thief. 24:42.840 --> 24:44.720 You could have taken the money a dozen times today. 24:44.720 --> 24:48.040 You could have taken it a little while ago when you still had the gun. 24:48.040 --> 24:49.420 But even that repelled you. 24:49.420 --> 24:52.040 You threw the gun away and we were man to man. 24:52.040 --> 24:53.040 But still you hesitated. 24:53.040 --> 24:58.120 In fact, Henry, I said, for a successful thief you hesitated just a little too long. 24:58.120 --> 25:01.400 But as a sporting man I can only think more highly of you. 25:01.400 --> 25:03.360 Goodbye, Henry, and good luck, I said. 25:03.360 --> 25:06.360 I put a hundred dollar bill in his chubby little fist and withdrew. 25:06.360 --> 25:07.360 End of story. 25:07.360 --> 25:09.400 But how did you know it was Henry, darling? 25:09.400 --> 25:10.920 You told me so, little lemon cookie. 25:10.920 --> 25:11.920 You were quite sure of it. 25:11.920 --> 25:13.880 I know, but you must have had proof of some kind. 25:13.880 --> 25:18.280 Well, there was one other minor detail that convinced me Henry was the guilty party. 25:18.280 --> 25:21.320 I gave Scandisi my phone number, but I have two telephones. 25:21.320 --> 25:22.740 One's a private line. 25:22.740 --> 25:24.320 Only two people had that number. 25:24.320 --> 25:25.320 You were one of them. 25:25.320 --> 25:26.540 Henry was the other. 25:26.540 --> 25:29.640 When Henry's accomplice got in touch with me, he used the phone number I'd given Henry, 25:29.640 --> 25:30.640 not the one I gave Scandisi. 25:30.640 --> 25:31.640 You see? 25:31.640 --> 25:33.640 Oh, darling, you're so clever. 25:33.640 --> 25:38.640 Of course, you may kiss me if you like. 25:38.640 --> 25:45.760 A few months after Ellen and I were married, we received a letter postmarked, Honolulu. 25:45.760 --> 25:47.120 It was from Henry. 25:47.120 --> 25:54.000 My dear, dear Walter, I have only just received the joyous tidings that you and Ellen are 25:54.000 --> 25:57.160 embarked upon the happy tide of holy matrimony. 25:57.160 --> 25:59.200 I am so glad for you. 25:59.200 --> 26:04.160 I often think of you, Walter, particularly with an overwhelming curiosity as to what 26:04.160 --> 26:06.360 it was you struck me with that night. 26:06.360 --> 26:14.040 Ah, well, I dare say it can only be conjecture on my part now, a hammer perhaps, that I allowed 26:14.040 --> 26:17.920 my jaw to be exposed to your weapon while I stood there meditating as to whether to 26:17.920 --> 26:24.880 take your 5,000 then or wait for 10 the following evening was a human error of judgment. 26:24.880 --> 26:28.780 At any rate, I entertain no feelings of ill will toward you. 26:28.780 --> 26:31.600 On the contrary, I am indebted to you greatly. 26:31.600 --> 26:37.600 The ease with which you talked Mr. Gallimore out of $5,000 has changed my life. 26:37.600 --> 26:42.520 I have been taking English lessons myself, and I'm now practicing on a wealthy widow 26:42.520 --> 26:45.440 woman, not without financial success. 26:45.440 --> 26:50.000 Our treasurer, the sport, devotedly, Henry. 26:50.000 --> 26:55.560 P.S. was it perchance an anvil, I wonder? 26:55.560 --> 26:59.400 You know, Henry wasn't such a bad fellow. 26:59.400 --> 27:02.600 All I really disliked him for was his barbaric English. 27:02.600 --> 27:07.160 Now he's changed that, maybe I should have married him. 27:07.160 --> 27:08.160 What do you think, Walter?
