Payment Deferred1932

William Marble:
Well, ha! Here's to ya!

Winnie Marble:
Will, have you made some money?

William Marble:
A little, nothing much. Just about enough to keep us all in luxury for the rest of our lives. That's all.

Annie Marble:
Dad?

Winnie Marble:
How much do you mean?

William Marble:
Well, the right side of 30,000 pounds, shall we say.

Annie Marble:
30,000 pounds!

Winnie Marble:
30,000, Daddy!

Annie Marble:
Will, how can you have made all that?

William Marble:
Perhaps 'cause I'm not quite a fool as you thought, Annie. Ha! I gambled in Francs and it happened to come off. You wouldn't understand.

Winnie Marble:
Oh, that's marvelous!
