:48:02
Mr. Smith, this is Eve's father.
We see him now and again.
:48:05
- How do you do, sir?
- Very well, indeed. Thank you.
:48:08
- Do sit down.
- Thank you.
:48:11
- Where's Eve?
- She should be here by this time.
:48:13
She asked Mr. Smith to tea.
:48:15
Oh, good, good.
Anyone else coming?
:48:17
I mean, going to be a party?
I am fond of parties.
:48:19
No. There's no one else coming,
and you weren't invited.
:48:22
Wasn't I? Oh, an oversight.
:48:24
But I forgive you.
:48:25
Forgiveness, Mr. Smith.
The secret of a happy married life.
:48:28
That and good long stretches of the
absence that makes the heart grow fonder.
:48:32
There you are, my dear.
The last but four of the Mahicans.
:48:39
- Will you forgive me, Mr. Ordinary Smith?
- Yes. I've just been set an example.
:48:42
Yes, but he says his name
is just plain Smith.
:48:45
He did? I'm terribly sorry to be late...
:48:47
...but the rehearsal went on and
the awful part is, I have to go back.
:48:50
- It was decent of you to have come.
- What are you doing here?
:48:53
- I've been trying to reach you all day.
- I took the boat out.
:48:56
We had quite a little cruise.
:48:58
Jonnie and me.
:49:01
Poor old Jonnie.
I hope his rheumatism is better.
:49:06
Do play something, Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith is a pianist, Mother.
:49:10
Well, I think that's a delightful career.
:49:12
- I often wish I'd kept up my practicing.
- It's not exactly my career, Mrs. Gill.
:49:16
But you must play for us.
Make him, Mother.
:49:18
But I haven't even started my tea yet.
:49:20
But of course he hasn't.
Eve, you are ridiculous.
:49:22
But I've got to leave in a minute.
Please play.
:49:26
You know, Jonnie's not
much of a sailor, Eve.
:49:29
He was abominably seasick.
:49:31
In fact, as soon as we got ashore,
Jonnie ran away.
:49:35
- Who's Jonnie?
- I wish I knew.
:49:38
He's about 57 different varieties.
:49:40
Roughly speaking, he was a dog of some
sort that strayed in a couple of nights ago.
:49:44
- Do the police know about him?
- No, no. I'm not worried about him.
:49:48
I daresay he'll find his way
back to his old master.
:49:50
Or mistress.
:49:52
I thought we might have to ask
for your help, Mr. Smith.
:49:55
Mr. Smith is a detective, Mother.
:49:57
Mrs. Mason.
