:47:03
And she called her Bunny.
:47:05
lts terribly common among children...
:47:08
lonely children, that is.
:47:10
Why do you think Steven Lake
told you all this?
:47:14
Lets say we took a fancy to each other.
:47:17
The whole place was full of
those great men of yours in boots.
:47:20
l think we both knew
that was no way to find Bunny.
:47:24
-Why do you say that?
-Perhaps lm wrong.
:47:26
lm alone a great deal, Superintendent.
:47:30
But that young man is worried
about his sister. Desperately worried.
:47:35
-lsnt that natural?
-ls it? Natural, l mean?
:47:39
l should have thought the natural thing
was to worry about the child.
:47:56
Johnson and Bates, take a look upstairs.
:48:18
How long do they go back, these records?
:48:20
lve kept them ever since l came.
Ever since Miss Ford retired.
:48:25
The parent fills out the entry form
and returns it with the fees.
:48:28
Just the first months.
:48:30
Then the childs name is put on a card
which records its progress...
:48:33
health, absences,
dental treatment, and conduct.
:48:36
And the ledger?
:48:38
Every penny received
over the last 1 2 months.
:48:41
Mr. Newhouse,
l think this might interest you.
:48:44
My sister bought it this morning for Bunny.
:48:46
What time did she buy it?
:48:48
Before the child was missing,
if thats what you mean.
:48:50
Yes, thats exactly what l mean, Mr. Lake.
:48:53
lt would have been more useful
if it had turned up earlier.
:48:55
She hid it for a game of Hot and Cold
and forgot all about it until now.
:48:59
-Hot and Cold?
-lts a sort of treasure hunt.
