- Good morning. The dog, Bella.
- Good morning, Elizabeth.
:23:13
Sorry, Tillie. It won't be for long.
:23:26
I will read from Psalm 127.
:23:31
"Except the Lord build the house..."
:23:38
"...but they speak with their enemies
in the gate."
:23:43
Let us pray.
:23:49
Pimlico Square, I was after.
:23:51
Number 14 is the only empty house
in the square, I'm afraid.
:23:56
We are the sole agents.
:23:59
- My pipe bothering you?
- Not at all.
:24:01
Faces south.
A little alley runs along the back.
:24:04
Nothing to block out the light.
:24:08
But we'll have some difficulty,
I'm afraid, Mr. Rough.
:24:11
- Why is that?
- The remainder of Number 14's lease...
:24:14
is in the hands of Mr. Mallen
of Number 12.
:24:17
And he's already refused three good offers.
:24:20
Mr. Mallen of Number 12?
Why won't he let?
:24:22
Do you know, I have often wondered.
A queer profession, mine, Mr. Rough.
:24:27
So near to so many people's lives,
and yet...
:24:31
- always on the doorstep, as it were.
- Yes, indeed.
:24:36
- A fascinating study, human nature.
- Fascinating.
:24:42
You don't think there's much chance
of that house being on the market?
:24:45
If you want to make an offer,
do so, by all means.
:24:48
I sometimes wonder
if it's the noise he's afraid of.
:24:52
The wife's a delicate woman.
Just had a breakdown, I understand.
:24:55
A charming creature.
:24:57
I've seen her often walking in the gardens
of the square with her dog.
