Dr. Hiram Baker : It looks legal enough.
Reverend Robert Alden : [Reading] "Payable to bearer at 10%, compounded annually."
Reverend Robert Alden : Why, this bond is dated 1835!
Harriet Oleson : That's 52 years.
Dr. Hiram Baker : I suppose you've figured out its current value.
Harriet Oleson : Oh, yes, indeed, I have, with the kind help of Etta Plum. Now, may I direct your attention to this figure in this column?

Harriet Oleson : [laughs] Well, Reverend Alden, if you'll notice, it's a trifle more.
