:28:01
It is for Gussie.
:28:03
Poor Aunt Pat.
:28:05
She probably doesn't mind
losing the Blue Water.

:28:08
It's having Sir Hector
around again.

:28:09
Well, that's a splendid way
to talk about your benefactor.

:28:12
Where would you be
if it weren't for him?

:28:14
I don't know, Ghastly,
but not with you, at any rate.

:28:17
We couldn't quietly arrange
to dispose of Sir Hector

:28:19
in some way before
he gets home, could we?

:28:21
Oh, nothing gory,
of course.

:28:25
Thank you,
Burdon.

:28:35
It looks like a piece of sky
that had become solid,

:28:37
with sunlight
imprisoned in it.

:28:39
Cold sunlight.
:28:41
Cold as the unhappiness
it has brought so many people.

:28:44
Well, must have blown a fuse.
:28:46
Isobel, you're the closest.
Try the switch.

:28:55
So somebody
turned them off.

:28:56
Another Geste joke?
:28:58
It's... It's gone!
:29:00
Why... why,
it's impossible!

:29:02
Somebody in this room
took it.

:29:04
Now, don't be any more of an
ass than you can help, Ghastly.

:29:06
There's no one in this
room but the family. Well?

:29:09
It seems there's
someone here

:29:10
with a sense of humor
all his own.

:29:12
Your joke, Augustus?
:29:13
Me? No, Aunt, really.
l... I swear it.

:29:16
You, John?
:29:17
No, Aunt Pat.
:29:18
Digby?
:29:19
Positively not.
:29:21
Beau?
:29:22
I didn't take the Blue Water.
:29:25
Surely not...
Oh, no, Aunt.

:29:28
I'm very much afraid
someone is lying.

:29:30
Put it back, John.
:29:31
I said
I didn't take it.

:29:32
Suppose you put it back.
Suppose you do.

:29:34
Whatever the humor
of the joke,

:29:35
it's rather bad taste
to prolong it.

:29:37
I think
we're agreed on that.

:29:38
Perhaps our humorist
wouldn't mind

:29:40
returning the Blue Water
the way he got it,

:29:42
in the darkness.
:29:43
Turn off the lights,
Isobel.

:29:56
Turn them on, Isobel.
:29:58
I was trying to catch the thief. So was I.
