:26:01
...and he sat there dead in that chair...
:26:05
...looking so peaceful. Remember, Martha?
:26:09
We made up our minds, then and there...
:26:12
...that if we could help
other lonely, old men...
:26:15
...to find that same peace...
:26:17
...we would.
:26:19
Why, you poor....
:26:21
You mean, he dropped dead
right in this chair?
:26:26
And then, you see,
Teddy came up from digging in Panama...
:26:30
...and he thought Mr. Midgely
was a yellow-fever victim.
:26:33
And that meant
he had to be buried immediately.
:26:36
So, we all took him down to Panama...
:26:40
...and put him in the lock
and gave him a decent Christian burial.
:26:44
There, now you see? That's why
we told you not to bother about it...
:26:48
...because we know exactly
what's to be done.
:26:54
Wait a minute!
:26:55
Come here, darling.
What about the others?
:26:58
All 12 of them didn't walk in here
and drop dead.
:27:01
No, dear. Of course not!
:27:03
Well, so....
:27:11
-Mortimer.
-What?
:27:13
Do you remember those jars of poison
on the shelves...
:27:16
...in Grandfather's laboratory
all these years?
:27:18
You know your Aunt Martha's knack
for mixing things.
:27:21
You've eaten enough of her piccalilli.
:27:24
Well, dear, for a gallon of elderberry wine...
:27:27
...l take one teaspoonful of arsenic...
:27:30
...then add half a teaspoonful of strychnine.
:27:32
And then, just a pinch of cyanide.
:27:38
Should have quite a kick.
:27:41
As a matter of fact,
one of our gentlemen found time to say:
:27:45
"How delicious! "
:27:46
He did? Well, wasn't that nice of him?
:27:48
Abby, we mustn't be standing here
gossiping all night.
:27:51
We must get that cake frosted.
:27:53
Don't worry about the cake.
I couldn't eat a thing.
:27:56
You newlyweds! A sip of wine
will give you an appetite.
