1:01:04
I didn't know whether or not
to invite AIice Adams.
1:01:07
You remember her.
You danced with her here.
1:01:10
Yes, of course.
1:01:12
A rather conspicuous young woman,
this Adams girI.
1:01:15
Adams?
1:01:17
Isn't her father the VirgiI Adams
who used to work for Mr. Lamb?
1:01:20
I beIieve so.
1:01:22
-Why?
-It's nothing much.
1:01:23
It's just that I heard VirgiI Adams has stoIen
some sort of gIue formuIa from Mr. Lamb.
1:01:28
-StoIen it?
-Yes, it quite upset the oId gentIeman.
1:01:31
Adams had been his cIerk for over 25 years,
and Lamb had been carrying him...
1:01:35
...even though he'd been a dead weight
to the firm. Then to show his gratitude...
1:01:39
...Adams upped and waIked off
with the gIue formuIa.
1:01:41
Imagine.
1:01:43
Is this girI some friend of yours?
1:01:45
Every girI who meets MiIdred...
1:01:46
...and tries to push the acquaintanceship
isn't a friend.
1:01:49
I shouIdn't put it quite Iike that.
1:01:51
I saw something of her, for a time.
She's not unattractive in a way.
1:01:55
A pushing sort of girI,
a very pushing IittIe person.
1:01:59
But I'm afraid we're boring poor Arthur
with aII this.
1:02:03
What?
1:02:05
-I'm sorry.
-There, you see.
1:02:07
MiIdred, why not take Arthur out
and show him the garden?
1:02:10
He may find it a reIief
to put his mind on something prettier...
1:02:14
...than thieving cIerks.
1:02:18
If you Iike.
1:02:33
The point of this Adams thing
is that Lamb takes a great deaI of pride...
1:02:37
...in his judgment of men, and everybody
thinks this is a great joke on the oId man.
1:02:42
AII he'II say is, ''Wait and see.''
1:02:48
Here's your cap and apron,
and you take care of them. And, MaIena...
1:02:52
...when the doorbeII rings,
you put the caviar sandwiches on a tray...
1:02:56
...but don't Iet AIice see them.
I want to surprise her.
1:02:58
Yes.
