They still like getting
something for nothing.

1:06:03
And they still come
to my stretch of water and poach it,

1:06:07
just as in Grandfather's day.
1:06:09
They've not changed altogether.
0pen the wine.

1:06:12
I was down by the river last night.
Somebody's been getting at my fish.

1:06:17
There was a fellow there on the bank,
oh, with a big one.

1:06:23
Then he saw me and he ran.
1:06:26
I had my shotgun,
so I loosed off.

1:06:28
I must have peppered him
but he didn't drop the fish.

1:06:32
Damn it. If this goes on, I shan't
get to eat my own fish any more.

1:06:36
Give the Colonel some wine,
will you, lad?

1:06:39
Right up.
1:06:45
- Sorry to be losing you.
- I'm sorry to be going.

1:06:51
Well, here we are again,
back on the streets.

1:06:54
Let's drink to it. Mind that.
1:06:57
Thank you.
What happened to your old lady?

1:07:00
0h, she's not with us any more,
old boy.

1:07:04
She took me to a race meeting.
Chirpy as anything on the way there,

1:07:08
but in the middle of slanging
a bookie, she went, just like that.

1:07:12
Heart. Still, it's the way
she'd have liked to have gone.

1:07:16
If anyone enjoyed life, she did.
Bless her.

1:07:20
And what now?
1:07:22
I don't know. Something will turn up.
What about you?

1:07:25
I'd like to go back to the hospital.
1:07:28
I've got to phone
some solicitors. May I?

1:07:31
Yes, of course.
1:07:32
I suppose that blighter
Bingham's still there?

1:07:36
- Yes. He asked me out to supper.
- Did you go?

1:07:41
Fish cake and chips and a quiz
on obstetrics? No thanks.

1:07:44
- Mr Wayland? Dr Benskin here.
- Good of you to call, Dr Benskin.

1:07:50
We're handling the estate
of Lady Howkins.

1:07:53
Did you know
that she left you a legacy?

1:07:56
- No, I didn't.
- 'Yes, a sum of money.

1:07:59
'Quite a large one,
as a matter of fact. £15,000.'
