"On demand I promise to pay
Arthur Gwynn Geiger £1,000."
:07:07
Signed Camilla Sternwood.
:07:10
- I'd pay.
- Why?
:07:12
It's a little money against
a lot of annoyance.
:07:15
I have pride, sir.
:07:17
This, uh, bookseller - Geiger.
He says this is a gambling debt.
:07:22
Well, I pay this,
how many more will turn up?
:07:25
In that case, I'll come down on him.
He'll think a bridge fell on him.
:07:29
I'm sure you will.
:07:31
What are your charges, Mr Marlowe?
:07:35
£50 per day plus expenses -
when I'm lucky.
:07:38
That seems reasonable for removing
morbid growths from people's backs.
:07:44
The matter is in your hands.
Don't ask my daughter Camilla about it.
:07:48
She'll just suck her thumb and look coy.
:07:50
And now, Mr Marlowe,
I must excuse myself.
:07:59
I'm tired.
:08:12
The General instructed me to give you
a cheque for whatever you require, sir.
:08:17
Instructed you? How?
:08:18
By the way he rang his bell, sir.
:08:20
- You write his cheques?
- I have that privilege, sir.
:08:23
That should keep you from a pauper's
grave. No money just yet, thanks.
:08:27
There is one other thing, sir.
Mrs Regan wants to see you.
:08:30
The older daughter?
How did she know I was here?
:08:33
She must have seen us go into
the greenhouse, sir. She lives up there.
:08:38
So, you're a genuine private detective?
:08:42
I didn't know they really existed.
:08:49
What are you staring at?
:08:51
What looks like trouble.
:08:54
- Did you like Dad?
- I liked him.
:08:57
He liked my husband.
