:33:02
Just ordinary Smith?
:33:13
A detective?
:33:16
I hope you don't mind.
:33:18
Oh, no. Of course not.
:33:20
Well, I'm delighted.
:33:22
By the way, I don't suppose you and
your mother are interested in tea...
:33:26
...with a detective, that is.
:33:28
Of course. Especially with a detective.
:33:31
- Would you like to have tea with us?
- Oh, I'd love to. How about this afternoon?
:33:35
- Well, tomorrow, then?
- Yes.
:33:37
Yes. That's fine.
:34:02
And I could take your place.
:34:04
You'd never get away with it. What
makes you think you could be a maid?
:34:08
It would only be for a day or two.
:34:09
You'd have to be her dresser
down at the theater.
:34:12
You couldn't do that.
That's very highly skilled work.
:34:15
- Well, I could if you told me how.
- It sounds phony to me.
:34:17
All this trouble just to get
a newspaper story.
:34:20
Well, we women reporters have
a tough job competing with the men...
:34:23
...especially on
important stories like this.
:34:25
And what paper are you on, may I ask?
:34:28
Well, I can't tell you that.
:34:30
If anything should go wrong,
it would be embarrassing for the paper.
:34:33
Oh? And what about my job?
:34:35
Suppose Miss Inwood found out
I was passing you off as my cousin.
:34:38
I'm not sure she won't smell a rat.
:34:40
I never been away ill for years.
:34:42
But anyone could go sick.
And I could do it, really I could.
:34:45
I've... I've done a bit of acting.
:34:48
Character acting?
:34:51
- Yes.
- I see.
:34:52
All you gotta do is put on some old clothes
and make yourself look common like me.
:34:56
Let me explain why it's so important
that I get the right slant on this.
