Act 1, Scene 5
to the brothers’ home and knocks on the front door. No one comes. He walks around to the side of the house and knocks on another door. The servant opens it.
S: May I help you, sir
H: Yes. I need to see the two brothers
about ….
S: They’ve gone, sir. Gone travelling.
H: But they were just here two hours ago!
S: I’m sorry, sir. They will be back in a month — a month from today.
H: A month But I can’t believe….
S: Good day, sir.
N: Henry sits down on the stairs, and opens the envelope. He finds a letter in it and takes it out. The letter says: “You are an intelligent and honest man, as one can see by your face. We also believe you are poor and a stranger to this city.
Inside you will find a sum of money. The money is lent to you for a short e back to our home with it in exactly 30 days. I have a bet on you. If I win it, you shall have any job that you can do as my thanks.”
H: Well, how about that!
Go back to the two
brothers’ house
Imagine what might happen to Henry in the next month as he tries to use the bank-note but not get into trouble.
or
1. He might use it to buy a house and have to leave the bank-note with the house sellers so they will be sure he can pay them.
2. He might take the bank-note to the bank and put it into a bank account. Then he can use smaller amounts of money for his daily needs.
3. He might use the note to buy a business so that he can earn enough money for his daily needs. If he works hard, by the time the brothers return he will be rich enough to pay his debts.
4. He might use the bank-note to buy some new clothes so that he can look for a job and be able to support himself in London.

2. Listen to the tape. Write down the three
things that happen in this scene.

1. Why doesn’t the salesman
give Henry his change right away
The salesman is shocked after receiving such a huge sum of money.
2. Is the owner really angry at the salesman or does he just pretend to be angry How do you know
3. Answer the questions.
The owner is pretending to be angry at the salesman. Actually, the owner and all of the salesmen feel a bit foolish. The owner is also trying to save face.
3. Is Henry glad to get more than one coat How do you know
No. Henry wants only one coat and complains that the others are unnecessary.
4. Henry tells the owner that he is moving. Give two reasons why the owner isn’t surprised to hear this news.
First, the owner believes rich men often change their address. Also, he is a foreigner, so he is likely to be a tourist who would be expected to change his address.
5. What does the owner offer to do for Henry Why
He offers to help Henry get a room in the “Ritz”, one of the best hotels in London as a way to show special favour and gain more of Henry’s business in return.

S=Salesman H=Henry
Act Two, Scene 2
O: Well, what seems to be the trouble
H: I’m still waiting for my change.
O: Come, come, give him his change, Todd. Get going. (looks at the bank note) Could it be the one I saw in the papers last week I think it must be. You’re a
born fool, Todd, to bring this fine gentleman into this part of our shop.
S: Sorry, Mr Reid.
O: He’ll think we’ve never dealt with a rich man before. Oh, take off this coat, sir. Why, it’s only fit for a man in a circus. Well, don’t just stand there, go and get some others, Todd!
S: Right away, Mr Reid.
O: Allow me, sir! This way, sir. Look at this coat. This is perfect! It was made for a king, but he’ll just have to wait. Now sir, you’ll need many suits for many occasions. Yes, indeed you will.
H: Now, wait a minute. I only came here to get a coat.
O: Now, now, sir.
H: But I can’t buy all these things. You would have to wait a long time to get paid.
O: A long time, sir A long time Why, I’ll be glad to wait … forever!
S: Yes, we can wait forever!
H: Well, all right. I’ll take the coat now and get the others later.
O: Fine, fine. Your address, sir
H: I don’t have one yet. I’m… moving.
O: Of course you are! A busy man, I’m sure. Well, take my advice and stay at Ritz. It’s the finest hotel in this part of London. I’ll call them and tell them to expect you. Leave it to me!
Enjoy it!
