:45:00
Here it is. Right where l hid it.
:45:03
What is it?
:45:04
l bought it for Bunny. lt has candy inside.
:45:07
l hid it there,
so we could play Hot and Cold.
:45:10
lll take it to him.
:45:11
And l want somebody to look at the house.
:45:14
lts empty, locked.
Youll have to get in somehow.
:45:16
Number 30 Frogmore End.
Have you got that?
:45:20
-Yes, sir, 30 Frogmore End.
-Okay.
:45:40
Steven, l just remembered.
:45:42
Tell him at least 30 people saw her.
Maybe more.
:45:45
-What do you mean?
-Everybody on the bus we took to school.
:45:48
Of course. lll tell him.
:45:57
Of course lve seen children disappear
from this school.
:46:01
lve known children come for one day
and never return again.
:46:04
lts perfectly feasible, Superintendent.
:46:07
Children are at the mercy of their parents.
:46:10
And, for the most part,
parents are a very bad lot.
:46:13
ln some instances,
even undeserving of their children.
:46:16
-Wouldnt you say?
-But l wouldnt say.
:46:19
That would make me a suspect,
dont you see?
:46:22
Queer old party
saves child from undeserving parent.
:46:27
Now, coming back to Bunny Lake.
:46:29
Thats not her real name, you know.
:46:32
Not Bunny at all, but Felicia.
:46:35
lsnt it delicious?
A little affected for an American child...
:46:40
but l think it shows
a strong imagination at work.
:46:44
The brother told me quite a lot.
:46:46
Theres something unusual
about that young man.
:46:50
Something very unusual.
:46:52
What exactly did Mr. Lake say to you?
:46:55
Apparently, she had
this completely imaginary companion.
:46:59
-Who, Bunny?
-No, the mother, when she was a child.
