:06:03
he threw it seven feet into the court,
:06:06
close to the baseline where it was found.
:06:08
And then, with a neatly executed fouetté,
:06:11
he faced about and went
back the way he had come,
:06:15
thus leaving no traces.
:06:19
And that, Inspector, is
Merridew's solution."
:06:23
Hello !
Are you there ?
:06:27
Mr. Wyke ?
:06:29
- Mr. Wyke ?
- Who's there ?
:06:31
It's me, Milo Tindle.
I think you're expecting me.
:06:33
Yes, indeed. So good of you to come.
Won't you join me ?
:06:36
Well, I have been trying to do
exactly that for quite some time.
:06:43
Here we are.
:06:50
Yes, my outdoor inner sanctum.
I designed it myself.
:06:54
Provides for me just that extra bit
of privacy that an author requires.
:06:57
I must say, you're not an
easy man to drop in on.
:06:59
Just so. So, you're Milo Tindle.
:07:02
- I'm Andrew Wyke. Welcome to Cloak Manor.
- Thank you.
:07:06
I found your note when I came down
from London this afternoon.
:07:08
Oh, good. Yes.
I hoped you'd be here this weekend,
:07:10
so I pushed it through your letter
box a little earlier today.
:07:13
Well, now, what will
you have to drink ?
:07:16
- Uh, vodka and tonic, please.
- Ah. Of course.
:07:18
- How are you settling in here
at laundry cottage ?
- Very well, thank you.
:07:23
Using it for weekends,
that sort of thing ?
:07:25
Yes, that sort of thing.
:07:27
Vodka-- I don't seem to
have any out here. Is--
:07:31
- Gin will do.
- Good.
:07:33
Charming little place,
Laundry cottage--
:07:36
Ideal for relaxations of all kinds.
:07:38
Unfortunately, I don't
have time for them myself.
:07:41
As a matter of fact, I've just
dictated the denouement...
:07:44
of my new book,
Death by double fault.
:07:47
I must say, it's gone extremely well.
Ah, then.
:07:50
Soda, soda, soda, soda--
:07:54
Oh, dear. Doesn't seem to be
any tonic here either.
:07:56
It's awful.
Here, shall we go indoors ?
:07:58
- Whatever you like.
- Good.
