My dress.
:45:11
Somebody slashed my dress.
:45:40
They certainly were
attractive youngsters.
:45:42
Yes, sir. That was just about the biggest story
that ever broke in this town.
:45:46
Yes, I can see you gave it what you might call
"the full treatment".
:45:50
Well, we couldn't very well bury it
on the society page, could we?
:45:53
Anyhow, help yourself. I think
you'll find everything that you need here.
:45:57
And that's a pretty good picture
of Miss Charlotte.
:45:59
Yes, it is.
:46:02
I was working for the press
when she arrived in London.
:46:05
Not one of us succeeded
in getting an interview with her.
:46:09
Well, they said that
Big Sam sent her over there...
:46:11
to prevent her from being
charged and tried.
:46:13
But that wasn't so.
:46:15
Sending her out of the country
wouldn't have helped.
:46:17
I reckon Sam's political connections
had more to do with it.
:46:21
As I remember, the district attorney
tried hard to make the charge stick...
:46:25
but the whole thing was transferred
over to Baton Rouge.
:46:28
I reckon Sam's friends in the capitol got busy,
because nothin' ever did come of it.
:46:32
Lack of evidence
was the official explanation.
:46:36
You wouldn't think so
from the headlines.
:46:38
Hi, Mr. Blake.
Thanks for the use of the hall.
:46:41
Tell me, are you running anything
on the return of Miriam Deering?
:46:45
Just an insert
in the social column.
:46:47
The social column. You gotta be kiddin'.
:46:50
Excuse me, Mr. Wills. This is a colleague
of yours, Mr. Marchand from New York.
:46:53
- How do you do?
- And who are you covering the story for?
:46:56
Don't worry about me, old chap.
My status is that of an amateur.
