: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.
:50:02
A detective. How very unusual.
:50:04
I suppose you have
many fascinating cases.
:50:06
- Must be very exciting.
- Not very, I'm afraid.
:50:09
- Embezzlement, fraud, petty thefts.
- Smuggling?
:50:13
Yes. Occasionally. Brandy mostly.
:50:15
Murder, too, sometimes, Father.
:50:17
Mr. Smith is working on the Inwood case.
:50:21
Oh, you don't say so.
Yes, I read about that somewhere.
:50:26
How did you know?
:50:28
I saw your photograph in the paper.
:50:31
What is the fellow's name, Clippen.
:50:33
Cooper, Cooper.
Did he do it, do you think?
:50:35
He has run away and remained in hiding.
:50:37
We're inclined to accept the obvious
as being obvious.
:50:54
Oh, it's just like Sherlock Holmes
and his fiddle.
:50:58
A stream of beautiful sound,
and then suddenly out pops the solution.
