Mrs. Hudd (Frances Sternhagen) tongue-rattles along at a great rate-about the icy weather through which her husband (Clarence Felder) must drive his van, about the unoccupied basement apartment she fears is occupied, about the tea and toast and trivia that mortise daily life. The landlord, who may not be the landlord, enters and reminisces about his mother and sister, who may or may not have been Jewish.

Simply known as "Chartered," the company raised its own army to cut through the bush and opened up the copper belt. As both ruler and landlord, Chartered also built railroads, clinics and some schools.
