:56:01
must say,
:56:01
never thought you'd keep this up.
:56:04
nor did I. but tummies will be tummies.
:56:07
saw the preliminary
budget for nowadays.
:56:09
hmm. looks promising.
:56:12
must start auditioning. by the way,
:56:14
have you ever heard of a
girl called Avice Crichton?
:56:17
the name rings a bell.
:56:19
I'm told she's rather good.
:56:20
I was wondering if she might play Sybil.
:56:23
guess how I heard about her.
:56:25
how?
:56:30
through tom.
:56:38
he says she's clever.
:56:40
she's playing in a Sunday night show.
:56:43
tom thinks
:56:43
it might be worthwhile
to go and have a look-see.
:56:46
well, why don't you? can't.
:56:48
going down to sandwich to play golf.
:56:50
staying the night.
:56:51
would it bore you awfully to go?
:56:53
Tom'll take you.
:56:57
I'll think about it.
:57:01
hmm, am I late or were you early?
:57:04
the curtain goes up sharp at 8:00.
:57:05
I hate getting to a
play after it's begun.
:57:08
remind me, uh,
:57:09
what's the name of the actress
we're going to see tonight?
:57:12
Avice Crichton. you met her.
:57:14
she came to lunch at Taplow.
:57:15
we even fought over her. did we?
:57:17
mmm. I don't remember.
:57:18
I can't wait to hear
what you think of her.
:57:20
she's so nervous knowing
you're gonna be out front.
:57:22
you know, these performances are like
rehearsals, but I said you'd understand.
:57:26
bottoms up.
:57:28
I had a letter from Roger.
:57:29
he's having a fine old
time. he's in Rome now.
:57:32
oh, yeah? she's awfully pretty.
:57:35
who are we talking about now?
:57:37
Avice Crichton.
:57:39
oh.
:57:39
yeah, she's got a great
figure. and she's very fair.
:57:42
what with platinum and peroxide,
:57:44
there's no lack of blondes these days.
:57:47
hers is natural.
:57:49
I wonder how you know that.
:57:50
keep the pace, Julia, don't rush it.
:57:52
nice and easy.
:57:54
god, this is undrinkable.
:57:56
he'll have to make a fresh pot.
:57:58
Julia, please don't.
:57:59
we'll be late.
