:42:03
Wouldn't it be a terrible strain for you?
:42:05
Oh, ghastly.
:42:07
But I can't help feel
for my poor, dear, loyal public.
:42:12
Looking towards it for weeks...
:42:14
...and then trailing back sadly
with their tickets...
:42:18
...getting their money returned.
I simply can't bear it.
:42:21
It would be pretty trying.
:42:23
Waves of sympathy coming on the stage...
:42:25
...all the gangways flooded with tears.
:42:28
I can hardly bear the thought myself.
:42:31
No use trying to stop me.
I'm going on tonight.
:42:34
Be at the theater at 6:00 sharp, will you?
:42:36
- Yes, madam.
- Take this away.
:42:40
You go right ahead, dear.
Garden party dress and everything.
:42:43
And why don't we let ourselves
go a trifle just in front, huh?
:42:48
And thank you so very much.
:42:54
What do you suppose
the police wants now?
:42:57
I don't know.
:42:59
Must you speak to me
with your mouth full?
:43:01
They've probably come to look under
your bed for Master Cooper.
:43:04
What could I tell them about Cooper?
I know nothing about him.
:43:08
Tell them just that.
:43:10
Listen.
:43:14
That's a good idea.
:43:16
Elsie, darling, come here.
:43:19
Now, I want you to wait
in the other room and listen.
:43:22
When you hear me cough, you come
in and say, "The doctor's here."
:43:25
Yes, madam.
:43:27
You can stand just so much of detectives.
:43:29
After all, they are only policemen
with smaller feet.
:43:38
- In here?
- The next door, sir.
:43:41
What's the matter with Nellie?
:43:43
Oh, it's her stomach, sir,
if you'll excuse the expression.
:43:46
The tragedy and excitement
was too much for her.
:43:49
- Highly strung type, eh?
- Oh, very, sir.
:43:51
I suppose you know, Miss Inwood,
that whatever Cooper's motive was...
:43:55
...it certainly couldn't have been robbery.
:43:57
Of course, darling. I understand that.
