:25:00
"Be prepared." ls that your motto?
:25:02
I thought it best to take precautions.
One never knows.
:25:05
I suppose Mother warned you
about women like me.
:25:08
Until now, I didn't know
there were women like you.
:25:10
Obviously, I'm the sort
that doesn't take "no" for an answer.
:25:14
I think that would depend entirely
on the question, Mrs. Peel.
:25:19
I say, you definitely are Mrs. Peel,
aren't you?
:25:22
You're delirious.
:25:24
I should've abandoned you.
:25:26
Nursing an invalid isn't my idea of fun,
after all.
:25:30
I could've taken up any amount of offers.
:25:32
And?
:25:33
I did find a clue at Sir August's.
:25:40
You see, Steed...
:25:42
...a woman's touch....
:25:45
"Wonderland Weather."
:25:52
Hello.
:25:53
Wonderland Weather?
:25:55
Yes.
:25:56
You've been recommended by a friend who
said you'd know all about our problem.
:26:02
We're awfully worried about our roses.
:26:06
I don't understand.
:26:08
My colleague and I represent...
:26:10
...a very influential group
of flower growers...
:26:12
...working under
tremendously adverse conditions.
:26:15
For some years,
we've been breeding a special rose...
:26:18
...the Crimson Monk...
:26:20
...until in the past week
we've been plagued by...
:26:23
...ladybirds.
:26:25
I thought ladybirds loved roses.
:26:27
A little too much, apparently.
Now our flower show's coming up.
:26:30
We need a few more warm summer days
very quickly.
:26:34
Yes.
:26:36
Have you seen the seven-spotted ladybird
in the mating season?
:26:41
Speckled grey larvae?
:26:43
A month to...
:26:45
...pupate, then...
:26:48
...no more roses.
:26:50
Voracious.
:26:52
I hope I haven't come to the wrong place.
:26:54
I was recommended
by a member of BROLLY.
:26:57
BROLLY?
:26:58
Don't say you haven't heard of it.
