:44:01
- Experienced?
- Well, I, er...
:44:03
I'm looking for one. I sent my last
to the knackers some months ago.
:44:08
Come and see me. Lady Howkins.
Everybody knows me in Wiltshire.
:44:27
Now, I don't want any rubbish
with stethoscopes and prodding.
:44:31
If I'm ill, I know what's wrong
and what puts me right.
:44:34
All you have to do
is sign the prescriptions.
:44:38
- You can read and write, I suppose?
- Yes, I think so.
:44:42
Apart from that
and taking the dogs for walks
:44:45
and dealing with emergencies amongst
the staff, your time is your own.
:44:49
I'll give you a thousand a year
and if you want any relief -
:44:53
and you look the type that would -
:44:55
there are plenty
of pretty local girls.
:44:58
But confine your activities to the
west wing and don't shock the cook.
:45:03
I always lost cooks
when my husband was alive.
:45:06
0f course, one could replace them
in those days.
:45:09
He's been dead 20 years,
but not before collecting
:45:13
most of the diamond mines
in South Africa.
:45:16
Well, do you want the job?
:45:19
- Yes, I do, indeed.
- I'm as fit as a flea at the moment,
:45:23
and so are the staff.
:45:25
I may drop dead at any moment,
but that'll just be bad luck on you.
:45:29
Ring the bell. We'll have champagne.
:45:32
I've a thirst
like the Kalahari Desert.
:45:35
- Congratulations.
- Who told you? Joy?
:45:38
- I'm delighted.
- Thank you very much.
:45:41
- Bangers. The dog's had one.
- I haven't got a frying pan.
:45:44
0h, it doesn't matter.
Just lay them out cold and operate.
:45:48
- I thought you were up north?
- I was, but I resigned.
:45:51
- He's out of a job.
- Nice to have me home, though.
:45:55
Trouble with the doctor's wife.
You know the sort of thing.
:45:59
0h, was there?
They should be kept on a chain.
