:38:04
Hold it.
One more in profile, please.
:38:07
Do we really need this? My wife knows
what time I came home that night.
:38:11
A disinterested witness
may be of more value.
:38:13
Yes, of course,
Christine is an interested witness.
:38:16
I'll pick up the negatives later. Thank you.
:38:18
I don't understand it.
Why hasn't she come to see me?
:38:24
Won't they let her see me?
I mean, it's been two weeks now.
:38:27
Mayhew, give me the reports.
:38:30
Have you been talking to her?
Is there something the matter?
:38:33
I want to read a portion of the evidence
of Janet McKenzie, the housekeeper.
:38:42
"Mr Vole helped Mrs French
with her business affairs,
:38:45
particularly her income tax returns. "
:38:47
Oh, yes, I did. Some of those forms
are very complicated.
:38:50
There's also a hint you may
have helped her draft her new will.
:38:54
Well, that's not true!
If Janet said that she's lying.
:38:57
She was always against me,
I don't know why!
:38:59
It's obvious. You threw an eggbeater into
the wheels of her Victorian household.
:39:05
Now, this cut in your wrist.
You say you cut yourself with a knife?
:39:09
Well, that's true, I did.
I was cutting bread and the knife slipped.
:39:13
But that was two days after. Christine
was there. She'll tell them in her evidence.
:39:20
Are you keeping something from me?
Is she ill? Was she shocked?
:39:25
All things considered, she took it well.
Though that may be only on the surface.
:39:29
Wives are often profoundly
disturbed at such a time.
:39:32
Yes, it must be hard.
We've never been separated before.
:39:35
- Not since our first meeting.
- How did you meet your wife, Mr Vole?
:39:39
In Germany in 1945.
:39:42
It's rather funny. The very first time
I saw her, the ceiling fell right in on me.
:39:48
I Was stationed outside Hamburg,
With an RAF maintenance unit.
:39:52
I'd just installed a shoWer in the officers'
billet, so they gave me a Weekend pass.
