Roderick: How well do you know London?

Henry: Not at all. Go right ahead.
Roderick: May we ask what you’re doing in this city and what your plans are?
Henry: Well, I can’t say that I have any plans. I’m 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 the 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 I didn’t know whether I could survive until morning. The next morning I’d just about given myself up for lost 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.)

Henry: I’m afraid I don’t follow you, sir.
