[Door closes]
:26:04
I'll call Mrs. Winthrop right away.
:26:05
Don't bother. You can give me
the information I want.
:26:08
How many people live in this house?
:26:10
Four. Mrs. Winthrop, her daughter,
her niece, and meself.
:26:14
- No men?
- Not a man.
:26:17
- Are there any dogs about the place?
- Yes, indeed!
:26:20
And vicious beasts they are.
:26:21
Every night they keep me awake
with their howling.
:26:24
You'd be doing me a great favour
if you'd take them away.
:26:29
It's a gentleman from Scotland Yard
asking about the dogs.
:26:32
Latham is the name, ma'am.
:26:33
How do you do? I'm Mrs. Winthrop.
:26:36
That will be all, Hannah.
:26:38
I presume all dogs are under suspicion...
:26:40
in view of the strange happenings
in the park.
:26:43
If you wish me to get rid of them...
:26:44
I had nothing like that in mind,
Mrs. Winthrop.
:26:47
I imagine that you keep them for protection.
:26:49
I can't say that I blame you,
with no men about the place.
:26:52
I don't suppose you allow the dogs
to roam at large?
:26:55
Certainly not. They're locked
in the garden most of the time.
:26:58
Especially at night.
:27:01
Have you noticed any suspicious
characters about the place?
:27:04
No, I haven't.
:27:06
Have the police any clue as to
who murdered that boy in the park?
:27:10
Well, not exactly a clue, as you might say.
:27:12
Of course, we've narrowed it down
to where we feel certain...
:27:15
that it's an animal from
this neighbourhood, or a person.
:27:19
- A person?
- Yes.
:27:20
My own theory, Mrs. Winthrop,
is that it's a were...
:27:25
That a madman or a woman is responsible.
:27:28
That's why I'm checking all
the houses in this neighbourhood.
:27:31
So if you do see
any suspicious characters...
:27:33
notify the police at once, won't you?
:27:35
- I certainly will.
- Yes.
:27:37
Thank you very much, ma'am.
:27:39
- Good night.
- Good night.
