:27:00
Sir Hector is well,
I trust?

:27:03
Quite well, Augustus.
:27:05
And we are going to have
a visit from him.

:27:08
Oh.
:27:10
That's splendid.
:27:13
I don't understand.
:27:14
He never comes home
this time of year.

:27:16
Only because he's
never needed money

:27:18
at this time of the year
before, Augustus.

:27:20
Well, I don't see what more he
expects to get out of the estate.

:27:24
You forget the Blue Water.
:27:26
Why, he wouldn't sell the
Blue Water, would he, Aunt Pat?

:27:29
I'm afraid that's
what he intends doing.

:27:32
Why, there wouldn't be
anything left!

:27:36
Excuse me.
:27:39
Aunt Pat,
:27:41
would you show us
the Blue Water before you go?

:27:43
We may not get
another chance to see it.

:27:46
Very well. Burdon.
:27:48
Yes, Madam?
:27:49
Will you come to the Priests'
Refuge with me, please?

:27:52
And bring a candle.
Yes, Madam.

:27:56
Well, why are we
all so glum?

:27:58
Selling the Blue Water isn't
the end of everything, is it?

:28:01
It is for Gussie.
:28:03
Poor Aunt Pat.
:28:05
She probably doesn't mind
losing the Blue Water.

:28:08
It's having Sir Hector
around again.

:28:09
Well, that's a splendid way
to talk about your benefactor.

:28:12
Where would you be
if it weren't for him?

:28:14
I don't know, Ghastly,
but not with you, at any rate.

:28:17
We couldn't quietly arrange
to dispose of Sir Hector

:28:19
in some way before
he gets home, could we?

:28:21
Oh, nothing gory,
of course.

:28:25
Thank you,
Burdon.

:28:35
It looks like a piece of sky
that had become solid,

:28:37
with sunlight
imprisoned in it.

:28:39
Cold sunlight.
:28:41
Cold as the unhappiness
it has brought so many people.

:28:44
Well, must have blown a fuse.
:28:46
Isobel, you're the closest.
Try the switch.

:28:55
So somebody
turned them off.

:28:56
Another Geste joke?
:28:58
It's... It's gone!
