:29:01
Well, you just don't
look like a librarian.

:29:04
- You don't look like an actress.
- Oh? I thought I did.

:29:11
Well, I'm only a beginner, really.
That is, I've only played one part in public.

:29:15
- Could I have seen you?
- I don't think so.

:29:17
It was in the church hall.
I played the fourth deadly sin.

:29:22
- Were you good?
- I was pretty deadly.

:29:26
What was this Jonathan Cooper after?
:29:27
- I heard there was nothing stolen.
- Perhaps he did it for the fun of it...

:29:31
Poor Charlotte Inwood.
:29:33
Imagine coming home and finding
your husband horribly dead...

:29:36
...policemen and detectives
all over the house, and the blood...

:29:39
Careful, careful.
:29:40
Remember, you're sensitive to that sort
of thing. You'll bring on another fainting fit.

:29:44
I hear that Charlotte Inwood's going back
into the show in a couple of days.

:29:48
Must be dreadful to sing and dance...
:29:50
...with that horrible picture
still burning in one's mind.

:29:53
Oh, it's the old story, "Is not the actor
the man with a heart?" all over again.

:29:57
I once had a cousin
who had a duodenal ulcer...

:30:00
...and an extremely funny face,
both at the same time.

:30:02
Everybody laughed
when he was telling his symptoms.

:30:04
His name was Jim.
:30:06
That must have been terrible.
:30:08
Oh, I don't know.
Jim's quite a common name.

:30:12
I wonder what Charlotte Inwood
is really like. Really, I mean.

:30:15
- Oh, hello, Nellie.
- That's Charlotte Inwood's maid.

:30:24
Hello, Nellie. I didn't expect
to see you so soon.

:30:27
How are you bearing up after last night?
:30:29
Mrs. Tippet, what I've been through.
All those policemen.

:30:31
Bothering you with a lot of questions.
:30:33
Questions? They've been asking me this,
asking me that, all morning long.

:30:37
I didn't know whether
I was coming or going.

:30:39
Gin and lemon, please, Mrs. Tippet.
:30:41
- Not too much lemon, dear.
- Okay.

:30:42
Mind you, they never laid a finger on me,
but, oh, the questions. Nag, nag, nag.

:30:47
"How did you know it was Mr. Cooper?
How many times you seen him and where?

:30:51
And did he give you anything?"
Blimey, he never gave me nothing.

:30:54
"And how long you been
Miss Inwood's maid?"

:30:56
They was gentlemanly and polite,
all right...

:30:58
...but give me the bleeding Russians
any day, dear.
