1:39:00
If you are a lady's maid,
1:39:02
your ladies never have a chance
of discovering if you are a good cook.
1:39:06
As good a cook as
Hildegarde Schmidt must have been
1:39:09
to the Armstrong household.
1:39:13
Enfin.
1:39:15
Who do we now
have here in this car...
1:39:20
...that could have known
or could have been involved
1:39:25
with the Armstrong household?
1:39:28
We have, one, Mr. McQueen,
1:39:30
who became boyishly
devoted to Mrs. Armstrong
1:39:33
at the time of the kidnapping.
1:39:35
Two, the Princess Dragomiroff,
1:39:37
who was Mrs. Armstrong's
devoted godmother.
1:39:39
Three, the Countess Andrenyi,
1:39:41
who was Mrs. Armstrong's
devoted younger sister.
1:39:43
Four, the Count Andrenyi,
1:39:45
who is Helena's devoted husband
1:39:47
and Mrs. Armstrong's
devoted brother-in-law.
1:39:49
Five, Hildegarde Schmidt, who was
Mrs. Armstrong's devoted cook.
1:39:50
Five, Hildegarde Schmidt, who was
Mrs. Armstrong's devoted cook.
1:39:54
Six, Mary Debenham, who was
Mrs. Armstrong's devoted secretary.
1:39:58
Miss Debenham's inclusion
is pure conjecture.
1:40:00
I did not have to ask Miss Debenham
1:40:03
if she had ever lived in America,
1:40:06
because during her
interrogation, she said...
1:40:09
I can always call my lawyers
long-distance.
1:40:12
An Englishwoman who had never
lived in America would have said,
1:40:16
"I can always make a trunk call
to my solicitors."
1:40:24
Tout de même, I must thank
the pipe-smoking Colonel Arbuthnott,
1:40:28
for a remark which finally resolved
all my confusions about this...
1:40:33
This extraordinary case.
1:40:36
I prefer to set aside the fact
1:40:39
that he denied ever having spoken
to Colonel Armstrong in India.
1:40:43
And yet he remembered
in great detail
1:40:46
the decorations which
Colonel Armstrong had won
1:40:50
years earlier in France.
1:40:53
I prefer to remember his views
on the British jury system.
1:40:57
Trial by 12 good men and true
is a sound system.
