:06:01
the most interesting man
she'd ever met.
:06:04
I was in complete accord
with her on that point.
:06:08
She thought me also
the kindest...
:06:10
the gentlest...
:06:12
the most sympathetic man
in the world.
:06:15
Did you agree
with her there too?
:06:17
McPherson,
you won't understand this...
:06:21
but I tried to become
the kindest, the gentlest...
:06:25
the most sympathetic man
in the world.
:06:28
Have any luck?
:06:30
Let me put it this way.
:06:34
I should be sincerely sorry to see my
neighbors' children devoured by wolves.
:06:38
Shall we go?
:07:03
- Good morning, Lieutenant.
- Good morning, Mrs. Treadwell.
:07:06
- Waldo.
- Good morning, Ann.
:07:08
- I've just taken over the Laura Hunt case.
- Won't you sit down?
:07:11
Thanks. I have
all the reports...
:07:13
but there are a few more questions
I'd like to ask.
:07:16
Certainly. I'll do anything
I can to help.
:07:18
You were fond of your niece,
Mrs. Treadwell?
:07:20
Why, I adored her.
Cigarette?
:07:22
No, thanks. You collapsed when
you identified the body.
:07:25
I can quite understand that. A shotgun
loaded with buckshot, close range.
:07:29
- It's not very nice to look at.
- It was horrible.
:07:32
Her maid Bessie, I suppose
she was devoted to Miss Hunt?
:07:35
Oh, she worshipped her.
Laura had had her for years.
:07:39
I'll never forget her scream
when she saw Laura lying there.
:07:42
Did you approve of Miss Hunt's coming
marriage to Mr. Carpenter?
:07:46
Why? Shouldn't I approve?
:07:50
I don't know. What is your relationship
with Mr. Carpenter?
:07:54
What do you mean?
:07:56
What I mean is, he's been
a frequent guest in your home.
:07:59
Is he an acquaintance? Friend?
Are you in love with him?
