Is this post
really what you are looking for?
:16:40
Well naturally,
otherwise I wouldn't be here,
:16:43
I don't want a housekeeper,
:16:45
I want someone to... to do the work,
:16:48

beds made, floors scrubbed,
:16:52
fires lit, ashes taken away...
I understand,
:16:56
- I hope you'll find us suitable,
- Oh, I'm sure I shall,
:16:59
I hope the work's not too exacting,
There are three of us,

myself, my nephew -
down for the school holidays -
:17:07
and Father,
:17:08
- May I show you to your room?

I'll take that, my dear,
Perhaps the clubs, if you don't mind,

She comes in three afternoons a week
to do the rough work,
:17:32
My grandfather, He founded
the family fortune - tea biscuits,
:17:36
Oh yes and very excellent biscuits

:17:40
A severe man, I'm afraid,
:17:44
Miss Marple, I think it only fair
to explain that my father is...
:17:50
,, quite frankly, difficult at times,
:17:52
He's an invalid,
:17:54
He's very keen on economy
:17:56
and sometimes says things
that upset people,
:17:59
- I wouldn't want you to...
- I'm used to caring for the elderly,
