:29:06
Miss Plimsoll, how alluring you look,
waiting like a hangman on the scaffold.

:29:11
Take me, I'm yours.
:29:15
Oh!
:29:16
About Mrs Vole. Handle her gently,
especially when you tell her of the arrest.

:29:21
Bear in mind she's a foreigner, so prepare
for hysterics, even a fainting spell.

:29:25
Better have smelling salts ready,
box of tissues and a nip of brandy.

:29:29
I do not think
that will be necessary.

:29:36
I never faint in case I don't fall gracefully,
:29:38
and I never use smelling salts
because they puff up the eyes.

:29:42
I'm Christine Vole.
:29:45
How do you do?
This is Mr Brogan-Moore.

:29:47
How do you do?
:29:49
- I am Wilfrid Robarts.
- How do you do?

:29:52
My dear Mrs Vole, I'm afraid
we have bad news for you.

:29:55
- Don't be afraid, I'm quite disciplined.
- There's nothing to be alarmed about yet.

:30:00
Leonard has been arrested
and charged with murder. Is that it?

:30:04
- Yes.
- I knew he would be, I told him so.

:30:07
I'm glad you're showing such fortitude.
:30:10
Call it what you like.
What is the next step?

:30:13
Your husband will have
to stand trial, I'm afraid.

:30:16
Will you explain the procedure?
Mr Brogan-Moore will lead the defence.

:30:21
Oh?
:30:23
- You will not defend Leonard?
- Regrettably not.

:30:25
My health, or, rather,
the lack of it, forbids me.

:30:28
It is regrettable. Mr Mayhew described
you as champion of the hopeless cause.

:30:36
Is it, perhaps,
that this cause is too hopeless?

:30:47
I'll have a serious talk with Dr Harrison. It
was a mistake to let you come back here.

:30:52
I should have taken you
to a rest-home or a resort.

:30:54
Some place quiet, far off, like Bermuda.
:30:57
Shut up. You just want
to see me in those nasty shorts.
