:50:00
(Janet) Mr Kentley,
do you suppose David could be home?

:50:03
(Kentley) l don't know. l hope so.
:50:05
(Rupert) l hate to throw a damper,
:50:07
but if David was home, l think he'd
be calling instead of Mrs Kentley.

:50:10
- Wouldn't you say so, Brandon?
(Brandon) - l wouldn't know.

:50:13
(Rupert) The David l remember
was polite as well as punctual.

:50:16
(Janet) He hasn't changed.
:50:17
(Rupert) Of course,
if he's not home, where could he be?

:50:21
(Kenneth) Don't ask me. l don't know.
:50:23
(Brandon)
He might be at any number of places.

:50:25
(Rupert) - Such as?
(Brandon) - The club, or Bradley's party.

:50:28
- Maybe he went down to Janet's.
(Rupert) - Why?

:50:31
(Brandon) Perhaps he decided
to pick her up, after all.

:50:33
(Janet) l phoned my place
after l spoke to Mrs Kentley.

:50:35
(Kentley) - He wasn't there?
(Janet) - No. l left a message in case.

:50:38
(Rupert) We might have a better chance
of finding out where he is now

:50:40
if we knew where he was this
afternoon. What do you think, Brandon?

:50:44
(Brandon) l haven't the least idea
where he was this afternoon.

:50:46
(Rupert) Don't you think lt would help
if we found out where he was?

:50:49
(Brandon) l suppose so.
:50:50
(Kentley) l know he went to the club
this afternoon to play tennis.

:50:53
- l know he got there.
(Rupert) - Why?

:50:55
(Kentley) Someone phoned with a
message that David would meet us here.

:50:58
(Rupert) - Do you know who?
(Kentley) - No.

:51:01
(Rupert) Obviously, David ran into
someone at the club and changed plans.

:51:06
You weren't there this afternoon,
were you, Kenneth?

:51:08
(Kenneth) No. l wish l had been.
:51:10
(Rupert) l don't suppose
you or Brandon were, Phillip?

:51:12
(Phillip) No.
:51:13
(Brandon) Hardly, we had our hands
full getting ready for the party.

:51:16
(Rupert) Oh, there was a lot
to be done this afternoon?

:51:18
(Brandon) - You know.
(Rupert) - Yes, l see.

:51:21
You didn't speak to David at all today?
:51:24
(Brandon) No. Why do you ask?
:51:26
(Rupert) l thought he might have have
called to say he'd be late or something.

:51:30
(Brandon) He didn't.
:51:30
Neither Phillip nor l have talked to
David since we invited him to the party.

:51:34
(Kentley) - That's odd.
(Rupert) - What do you mean?

:51:36
(Kentley) l thought l heard David on the
phone to Phillip yesterday morning.

:51:40
(Phillip) Yes, you did. l'd forgotten.
:51:43
(Brandon) Oh? What were you talking
about? Did he call about the party?

:51:45
(Phillip) Yes, he wanted to make sure
about the time. That was all.

:51:48
Here, I'll help you with that.
:51:51
Oh, thank you, Mr Cadell.
:51:54
That's alright, Mrs Wilson.
:51:56
You can put the books back
when you come to clean in the morning.

:51:58
I didn't have any idea
of coming in in the morning.
