of little Daisy Armstrong.
1:43:15
They...
1:43:18
They could not have done it
without you, could they?

1:43:22
You.
1:43:24
The procurer of this disguise for
the mysterious member of the Mafia,

1:43:30
who never existed
1:43:32
any more than the owner
of this kimono existed

1:43:35
as a real character and not as a red
herring to confuse and deceive me.

1:43:38
Although I think
that I was not deceived.

1:43:43
I have, how shall I put it,
1:43:46
an eye for the...
1:43:48
For the figure
of a receding woman.

1:43:51
Countess, your cosmopolitan accent
1:43:54
showed an inherited ability...
1:43:57
...from your actress mother.
1:44:02
But God knows
from what implausible source

1:44:07
Miss Greta Ohlsson...
1:44:10
...learned her English vocabulary,
too ludicrous to be credited.

1:44:17
I was born backwards.
1:44:19
That is why I work in Africa
as missionary,

1:44:23
teaching little brown babies
more backwards than myself.

1:44:27
You coined words like "bed gown",
1:44:29
and yet you understand
words like "emolument".

1:44:34
I truly believe you did look after
little brown babies at your mission

1:44:37
in Shimoga, which is in India,
by the way, you know.

1:44:39
It's not Africa.
1:44:42
But I believe you
were covering up

1:44:43
for once, years earlier,
when you were in America,

1:44:46
having looked after a little
white baby called Daisy...

1:44:50
...whose death, though you
could do nothing to prevent it,

1:44:52
so preyed on your mind that you
sought refuge in a vision of Jesus.

1:44:56
And your future as a missionary,
1:44:58
looking after little brown babies,
was sealed.
