:39:02
Something of a literary figure, too.
:39:04
She fancies herself as a poetess,
goes to evening classes...
:39:07
to learn about meter and all that rubbish.
:39:09
- Really?
- George.
:39:11
- They look quite delicious. May I try one?
- Help yourself.
:39:16
They're what we used to call girdle scones.
:39:19
Or drop scones.
:39:22
It's awfully important
not to let the oven get too hot...
:39:24
otherwise the outsides will be brown
before the insides are cooked.
:39:28
These are a lovely even color.
:39:31
- I always cool them in a towel.
- Do you?
:39:35
Yes, and I wait
until the bubbles rise to the surface...
:39:39
- before I turn them over.
- They're very successful.
:39:43
I use a half a level teaspoon
of bicarbonate of soda...
:39:48
Now you're giving away trade secrets.
:39:50
...and one level teaspoonful
of cream of tartar...
:39:52
Shut up.
:39:54
...and one egg.
- Shut up.
:39:57
Some people prefer two eggs,
but I think one's enough.
:39:59
Shut up!
:40:01
Now. Then. Girls.
:40:10
She hates me to talk about food.
She's a wee bit overwrought.
:40:13
Bullshit.
:40:20
- Cheerio.
- Bless you two.
:40:22
Don't they make a lovely couple?
:40:24
They do. They really do.
:40:26
I'm surprised you haven't taken the plunge.
:40:29
Still waiting for Mr. Right
to come along, are you?
:40:31
There was a young man once.
You know, wartime it was.
:40:34
He was in the RAF...
:40:36
killed over Berlin.
:40:38
There were lots of good boys went that way.
Lovely boys, all of them.
:40:41
- That they were.
- They certainly were.
:40:44
- Cheerio.
- Bye-bye.
:40:47
She does get furious sometimes.
:40:50
Actually, I wrote a poem about it once.
:40:52
Now then, my dear, Mrs. Croft doesn't come
all this way to listen to you...
:40:56
blathering on about your poetry and such.
:40:58
There is Sister George talking again.
