MONEY TALKS
(After 0.Henry)
Number 24 Park Street is a big, expensive house. Old Mr. Anthony Rockwall lives there and he is very rich.
One day he talks to his son, Richard, who is a quiet man of 21. “Richard, the people on this street come from good families and have a lot of money. Money can open a lot of doors for you,” Mr. Rockwall says with a smile.
“It can open some doors, father, but not every door ,” Richard says. “Money can't buy a place at the table of the right people.”
“You are wrong, young man,” his father says and he looks into his son's eyes. Richard is quiet.
“Son, what's the problem? Are you sick? What's wrong? You can talk to me,” Mr. Rockwall says.
“Father, I'm not sick. I have a good home, an interesting and clever old father. But...”
“"What's her name?” Mr. Rockwall says.
“Oh, Father. She's beautiful and very special. Her name is Ellen Lantry. She's the only woman for me,” Richard says.
“Talk to her. Dance with her. Walk in the rain with her. She's going to love you, too,” his father says. “You are a good young m an. You are special, too.”
“But she is always with people,” Richard says. “I n ever have any time with her. She never has time for me".
“Richard! Take some money and buy some time with he r. Talk to her about your love,” the old man says.
“I can't”, Richard says. “She's going to Europe by boat tomorrow. She is going to stay there for two years. This evening I'm going to take her to the theatre but it's a short drive. I'm not going to have muchtime with her and you can't buy her time.”
“OK, Richard, now I understand. Your love for her i s very strong, but she doesn't know about it. That's your problem,” Mr. Rockwall says.
“She can't know because there isn't time,” Richard says. He's very unhappy. “Your money can't talk to her.”
At eight o'clock in the evening, Richard goes to the beautiful young woman's house.
“Good evening, Richard,” Miss Lantry says. “Mother and father are waiting for us at the theatre. I don't want to be late.”
“To Wallack's Theatre, please,” Richard says to the driver. But at Thirtyfourth Street the car stops.
“What's wrong?” Richard asks.

“Oh, Richard. Are we going to be late?”" Miss Lantr y asks.
“I'm very sorry, Ellen. No theatre for us this evening,” Richard says.
“That's OK. I don't like the theatre very much. I'm happy here in the car with you,” Miss Lantry says.
“Are you?”" Richard asks with a smile.
Late in the evening Richard talks to his father. “F ather,” Richard says, ”Miss Lantry and I are in love!”
“Very good, Richard. I'm happy for you,” his father says.
“We talked and talked. She loves me! You see! Money can't buy love,” Richard says. Then the happy young man goes to bed.
But let's finish the story. At seven o'clock in themorning, the driver comes to the door of Mr. Rockwall's house.
“Good morning, Mr. Kelly,” Mr. Rockwall says. “You did a good job yesterday evening. Here's your $5000.”
“"It was difficult, Mr. Rockwall. The drivers of th e cars wanted $10 and the policeman wanted $50. But the cars stopped for us. Did it all go well?” Mr. Kelly asks.
"Well? Yes! It was beautiful. Let's drink to love and to money!
