Audiobook Dictation: “A lost half-hour? said the old…”

"A lost half-hour?" said the old man. "I've lost something much more serious, I've lost my reputation. It was very dignified and wore tortoise-shell glasses."

"A half-hour," he roared. "No, I have n't seen your half-hour; I would n't tell you if I had; what's more, I don't want to see it. I've lost my temper.
