:57:01
- Elsie?
- Mmm.
:57:03
- She's gone.
- Ohh. That's a pity, really.
:57:06
Thought it was a good idea
to have someone in the house
who's actually sorry he's dead.
:57:11
Oh, there you are, dear.
Did you have a nice ride?
:57:14
I'm feeling rather guilty.
Apparently everyone's gone,
apart from you and Louisa.
:57:18
- Why don't you stay for lunch?
- No, I must be off.
:57:21
Leave you in peace.
:57:24
Now, you will--
you will telephone...
:57:26
about the funeral plans,
mmm?
:57:29
- You don't have to come if it's a bore.
- Nonsense. Of course I'm coming.
:57:33
Have you decided what you're going
to do about this place?
:57:36
Oh, I don't know.
:57:38
Will you keep it?
:57:40
It's so difficult.
:57:42
- I mean, does one really want
the bother nowadays?
- Mmm.
:57:47
I suppose I could shut it up...
:57:50
and make a decision
when my head stops spinning.
:57:53
Mrs. Wilson could manage
till you're ready.
:57:56
Oh, yes, she could manage, all right.
Let's not worry about that.
:57:59
No doubt she'll seize the opportunity
to get rid of the wretched Mrs. Croft.
:58:03
- Why are those two such enemies?
- I don't know.
:58:07
Something to do with when they were both
workers in one of William's sweatshops.
:58:10
Mrs. Croft was the senior then.
She was the cook.
:58:13
And Mrs. Wilson
a lowly factory worker.
:58:16
Now that she's got up in the world,
poor old Croftie can't abide it.
:58:19
The usual rubbish.
:58:21
- Was there ever a Mr. Wilson?
I can't imagine it.
- Nor could I.
:58:26
Although, funnily enough,
I think there must have been.
:58:30
Really?
You amaze me.
:58:32
She might have
changed her name,
:58:34
but when she was working
with William she was called
something quite different--
:58:38
Parks or Parker or Parkinson
or something like that.
:58:45
- Come in.
:58:50
- You're busy.
- No, no, I was just
checking the linen rotation.
:58:53
If I'd have left it
to the maids,
:58:56
the same 20 sheets would be used
till they fell into rags.
