:25:01
Unless, of course,
for purposes of concealment.
:25:03
But you're not on duty now.
:25:05
Well, in a manner of speaking,
yes, sir.
:25:08
I've just been relieved for half an hour
while I make my report.
:25:13
So there's something to report?
:25:16
It's not quite a blank sheet, sir.
:25:21
Have me met
somewhere before, sir?
:25:24
I don't think so.
:25:31
Well, like I say, sir...
:25:34
it's not quite a blank sheet.
:25:36
But then it never is.
:25:41
Me and my boy,
we followed the--
:25:44
Your boy?
:25:46
My son, sir.
:25:48
Yeah, I'm teaching him
the business.
:25:52
I mean, a boy can be useful
in all sorts of ways.
:25:56
On the day in question, the party in
question went by tube to Piccadilly...
:26:01
and proceeded
to the Park Lane Hotel.
:26:04
She seemed quite agitated.
:26:08
And there met a gentleman with whom
she was obviously quite close...
:26:10
since they greeted each other
with an affectionate lack of ceremony...
:26:15
and at one point--
:26:16
although I cannot be certain of this--
held hands along the bar.
:26:21
- They held hands?
- Yes, sir.
:26:24
Gentleman pushed the lady's glass
towards her...
:26:27
and...
:26:28
the hand sort of stayed there...
:26:30
for some time.
:26:32
Which generally indicates
a squeeze of that nature.
:26:37
After a short conversation,
they proceeded to a restaurant...
:26:40
called...
:26:42
Palmer's...
:26:43
which was difficult to gain access to,
me being with the boy and all.
:26:46
But I observed them
through the window.
:26:49
And after a while,
the lady left...
:26:52
Laboring--
well, it seemed to me--
:26:55
under great emotion.
:26:57
Great emotion.
You're sure of that?
