:21:02
...to have in the corner of one's eye
this confounded flapping!
:21:05
Makes one want to stand up and shout!
:21:08
- I trust you restrained yourself.
- Of course I did, Willie.
:21:11
- More tea, ma'am?
- No, thank you, Pidgeon.
:21:13
- Coffee, sir?
- Yes.
:21:15
Pidgeon. Did my father say anything else?
:21:18
Nothing I should care to repeat, sir.
:21:22
There were more people
on the stage than in the audience.
:21:25
Did you count them?
:21:28
- No, of course I didn't.
- Then how do you know?
:21:32
I was speaking metaphorically.
:21:34
You were exaggerating.
:21:36
- Anything else, sir?
- No, thank you.
:21:39
Oh, horror!
:21:42
Horror!
:21:44
Horror!
:21:47
Willie.
:21:52
- Come in.
:21:54
- Good morning, my dear.
- Good morning, Richard.
:21:57
- Another scorcher.
- The everlasting bonfire.
:22:01
- Good morning, guv'nor.
- Morning, Barker.
:22:07
Thank you.
:22:09
- Shocking.
- Most alarming.
:22:12
A mediocre evening.
:22:14
- Three fainters.
- In the audience?
:22:16
I fear so. All women.
:22:18
- Any absentees?
- Four chorus members.
:22:21
- With doctors' notes?
- Yes.
:22:25
And... how are the returns?
:22:29
- Oh, good grief!
- It's an improvement on Monday.
:22:37
Seven dead horses
in the Strand this morning...
:22:39
Well, one down by Trafalgar Square.
:22:41
How can you sit there
in your hat and coat, Barker?
:22:44
I'm too hot to remove them, Mr Carte.
:22:47
- This is developing into a crisis.
- Indeed it is.
:22:50
- A man has a family to support.
- I fear we shall all have to "pray" for rain.
:22:54
If it's any consolation,
every theatre in town is afflicted.
:22:57
Even the Gaiety, graced as it is with...
:22:59
...Madame Bernhardt's
execrable Lady Macbeth. 38 per cent.
