:47:01
What's that you find so engrossing?
:47:03
- Your play, Mr Cosgood.
- What?
:47:07
This is your play?
:47:09
Yes. Yes, it is.
:47:12
- Where did you find this?
- In my room last night.
:47:16
- Now isn't that extraordinary?
- Yes.
:47:20
I assume poor George must have
borrowed it. Don't let me stop you.
:47:24
I've finished reading it.
:47:27
Ah well, let's see how the good
Florrie serves us today.
:47:34
How do you find it?
:47:35
- The kipper?
- The play.
:47:37
Oh, I beg your pardon. The play.
:47:40
I find it most interesting.
:47:42
- How very gratifying.
- Has it ever been produced?
:47:47
Oh, no.
I completed it only quite recently.
:47:49
I see.
:47:50
I have high hopes for it though.
:47:52
Those must sustain you.
:47:54
They do, dear lady. They do.
:47:57
Ah, Ralph!
:47:59
I was up half the night thinking.
I want to ask you a question.
:48:03
- Oh?
- Yes.
:48:05
Could you believe in Miss Marple
as a lady detective?
:48:12
I don't know any lady detectives.
:48:14
Maybe not, but what do you think?
:48:16
She's hardly typecasting.
:48:18
You 're quite wrong. She's perfect.
:48:20
- What are you getting at?
- I have an idea!
:48:23
Keep the theatre closed till Monday,
let the publicity build up,
:48:26
then reopen
with Out Of The Stew Pot.
:48:28
That old potboiler!
:48:30
A murder mystery! We've got
one of our own. Why not put one on?
:48:35
You may have a thought here.
:48:37
With Miss Marple
as the Honourable Penelope Brown.
:48:41
Now I do see what you mean.
:48:43
Yes, by Jove, it's brilliant!
:48:45
- You 're familiar with it of course?
- No.
:48:48
A classic of its kind.
I'll fetch the scripts.
:48:51
Ralph, call the theatre.
Tell them we're rehearsing all week.
:48:55
Mr Cosgood!
:48:56
I wouldn't think I'm anyone's idea of
a detective.
:48:59
Not anyone's, Miss Marple,
but you 're mine.
