summer of 1903. Two old and wealthy brothers, Roderick an dOliver, have made a bet. Oliver believes that with a million pound bank note a man could survive a month in London. His brother Roderick doubts it. At this moment, they see a penniless young man wandering on the pavement outside their house. It is Henry Adams, an American businessman, who is lost in London and does not know what he should do.Roderick: Young man, would you step inside a moment, please?Henry: Who? Me, sir?Roderick: Yes, you.Oliver: Through the front door on your left.Henry: ( A servant opens a door) Thanks.Servant: Good morning, sir. Would you please come in? Permit me to lead the way, sir.Oliver: （Henry enters）Thank you, James. That will be all.Roderick: How do you do, Mrer?Henry: Adams. Henry Adams.Oliver: Come and sit down, Mr Adams.Henry: Thank you.Roderick: You are an American?Henry: That s right, from San Francisco.Roderick: How well do you know London?Henry: Not at all, its my first trip here.Roderick: I wonder, Mr Adams, if youd mind US asking a few questions.Henry: Not at all. Go right ahead.Roderick: May we ask what youre doing in this country and what your plans are?Henry: Well, I cant say that I have any plans. Im hoping to find work. As a matter of fact, I landed in Britain by accident. Oliver: How is that possible?Henry: Well, you see, back home I had my own boat. About a month ago, I was sailing out of the bay ( his eyes stare at what is left of the brothers dinner on table.)Oliver: Well, go on.Henry: Oh, yes. Well, towards nightfall I found myself carried out to sea by a strong wind. It was all my fault. It didnt know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning Id just about given myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a ship.Oliver: And it was the ship that brought you to England.Henry: Yes. The fact is that I earned my passage by working as an unpaid hand, which accounts for my appearance. I went to the American embassy to seek help, but ( The brothers smile at each other.)Roderick: Well, you mustnt worry about that. Its an advantage.Henry: Im afraid I dont quite follow you, sir.Roderick: Tell us, Mr Adams, what sort of work did you do in America.Henry: I worked for a mining comapany. Could you offer me some kine of work here?Roderick: Patience, Mr Adams. If you dont mind, may I ask you how much money you have?Henry: Well, to be honest, I have none.Oliver: (happily) What luck! Brother, what luck! (claps his hands together)Henry: Well, it may seem lucky to you but not to me! On the contrary, in fact. If this is you idea of some knd of joke, I dont think its very funny. ( Henry stands up to leave) Now if youll excuse me, I think Ill be on my way.Roderick: Please dont go, Mr Adams. You mustnt think we dont care about you. Oliver, give him the letter.Oliver: Yes, the letter. (gets it from a desk and gives it to Henry like a gift ) The letter.Henry: (taking it carefully) For me?Roderick: For you. (Henry starts to open it) Oh, no, you mustnt open it. Not yet. You cant open it until two oclock.Henry: Oh, this is silly.Roderick: Not silly. Theres money in it (calls to the servant) James ?Henry: Oh, no. I dont want your charity. I just want an honest job.Roderick: We know youre hard-working. Thats why weve given you the letter. James, show Mr Adams out.Henry: Well, why dont you explain what this is all about?Roderick: Youll soon know. (looks at the clock) In exactly an hour and a half.Servant: This way, sir.Roderick: Mr Adams, not until 2 oclock. Promise?Henry: Promise. Goodbye.

He sits down at a table next to the front window.)Owner: ( seeing Henrys poor appearance) That ones reserved. This way, please.( to the waiter) Take this gentlemans order, Horace.Henry: ( after sitting down and putting the letter on the table) Id like some ham and eggs and a nice big steak.

( The waiter leaves and soon returns with all the food.)Hostess: My goodness! Why, look at him.

Go ahead and let him have it.Waiter: (reading the bill after the meal) All right.
