This is not for a play, Miss Roberts.
This is something very personal.
:18:12
I don't understand.
:18:19
Where did you get that?
:18:22
She gave it to me, ma'am.
:18:24
At the opening night of a play that I wrote
at Millfield College about eight years ago.
:18:29
That watch was very precious to her.
:18:32
She never... never left it
out of her possessión.
:18:36
It disappeared the night she died.
:18:39
She died that night?
:18:44
Won't you come in, please?
:18:47
Thank you.
:18:51
I have some things I have been saving
for the theatre collection.
:19:06
It's a costume from
one of the plays she was in.
:19:11
Miss Roberts, what was she like?
:19:16
When I knew her,
she was kind and thoughtful, but...
:19:20
she was just too much within herself.
:19:23
She seemed empty, somehow.
:19:26
She wasn't always that way, was she?
:19:28
No, not at all. People who knew her
when she was young
:19:31
said that she was quick
and bright and full of fun.
:19:34
Strong, wilful.
Not at all the way she was later.
:19:39
- What made her change?
- I don't know.
:19:41
But the change seems to have
taken place about 1912,
:19:45
after she performed
in a play at the Grand Hotel.
:19:53
That was her manager, William Robinson.
:19:57
Was he really as strange
as you seem to indicate in the book?
