:34:00
Sorry.
:34:02
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
I rather thought you might've come by taxi.
:34:08
I walked.
:34:09
What, all the way from Shepherd's Bush?
:34:12
I had a meeting in town.
:34:13
Even so, you must be absolutely exhausted.
:34:16
Not at all. I quite enjoyed it.
:34:18
My late husband and I
used to spend our holidays mountaineering.
:34:21
Really?
:34:22
Yes. In point of fact, that's how we first met.
:34:25
We were both really very keen.
:34:28
We had a wonderful life together.
:34:30
He was a very sporting man.
:34:32
He loved the outdoor life.
:34:37
This is Miss McNaught. This is Mercy Croft.
:34:40
- How do you do?
- How do you do?
:34:43
Won't you come in? Make yourself at home.
:34:46
On you go.
:34:48
Yes, I always say
we get far too little exercise these days.
:34:53
Unless I'm in a terrible rush,
I try to make do without taxis.
:34:57
If we all did that,
those extra inches would soon disappear.
:35:00
I often walk.
:35:02
I'm sure you don't need
to take any exercise, my dear.
:35:05
- Alice was just preparing tea. Weren't you?
- Yes.
:35:08
I do hope I haven't put you to any trouble,
inviting myself out of the blue.
:35:12
- Not at all.
- No, that's rubbish.
:35:16
I'm so sorry. Won't be a minute.
:35:18
- May I look around?
- Of course.
:35:20
I adore looking at other people's flats.
:35:23
They do reflect their owner's personality...
:35:25
in an incredibly accurate way.
:35:30
But you know, to be perfectly honest,
I imagined your home to be different.
:35:34
- Really?
- Yes.
:35:35
These charming dolls,
for instance, somehow...
:35:38
They're Miss McNaught's.
:35:41
Of course, that would explain it.
They're just not quite you, are they?
:35:47
- Now, I didn't know...
- Yes, I have a flatmate.
:35:49
How nice.
It's so important to have companionship.
:35:53
Especially when one is an artist.
:35:55
These are mine. I collect horse brasses.
:35:59
How useful.
