"Happy birthday Robert."

"Thank you."

"Your present. I hope you like it."

"It looks like my grandfather's watch. I didn't think they made watches like that anymore."
"They don't."

"Then how?"

"It is your grandfather's watch."

"But they told me it couldn't be repaired. I took it to every clock maker in London."

"I know. You told me. And when you did I made inquiries. And I found a clock maker who said that he might be able to fix it."

"Where did you find him? Not in London I presume."

"No, not in London."

"Don't tell me there is clock maker nearby who would have been able to fix this long ago."

"No. Although I asked everywhere."

"So where did you find the clock maker?"

"In New York."

"What? How is that possible?"

"When you told me about the watch and what was wrong with it, I sent a letter to my brother and asked him to ask around in New York. And he did find someone. So I sent the watch to New York and the clock maker really was able to fix it."

"Cora, that must have taken months. When did you start to plan this?"

"Four months ago."

"Why would you do something like that for me?"

"Because I love you. And I want to make you happy."

"You have made me very happy. Never has anyone given me such a thoughtful gift before. Thank you so much."

"You are welcome."
