:26:01
and proceeded
to the Park Lane Hotel.
:26:04
She seemed quite agitated.
:26:08
And there met a gentleman with whom
she was obviously quite close...
:26:10
since they greeted each other
with an affectionate lack of ceremony...
:26:15
and at one point--
:26:16
although I cannot be certain of this--
held hands along the bar.
:26:21
- They held hands?
- Yes, sir.
:26:24
Gentleman pushed the lady's glass
towards her...
:26:27
and...
:26:28
the hand sort of stayed there...
:26:30
for some time.
:26:32
Which generally indicates
a squeeze of that nature.
:26:37
After a short conversation,
they proceeded to a restaurant...
:26:40
called...
:26:42
Palmer's...
:26:43
which was difficult to gain access to,
me being with the boy and all.
:26:46
But I observed them
through the window.
:26:49
And after a while,
the lady left...
:26:52
Laboring--
well, it seemed to me--
:26:55
under great emotion.
:26:57
Great emotion.
You're sure of that?
:27:00
Oh, without doubt, sir.
:27:02
Then I followed her down
Charing Cross Road to Maiden Lane...
:27:05
where she turned into a church for what
I can only presume was a good cry.
:27:12
She's not a Roman, is she, sir?
:27:14
No.
:27:15
Thought not.
:27:17
She didn't kneel, sir,
but sat.
:27:20
From the angle of her face,
I could tell...
:27:22
tears were an issue.
:27:25
- Forgive the personal touch.
- Of course.
:27:29
You see, I liked the lady.
The party in question.
:27:33
As did l, but you were wrong
about the hands.
:27:36
The hands, sir?
:27:39
We never so much as touched hands.
:27:44
Oh, dear.
:27:45
- I have made a fool of myself.
- Sarah has that effect.
:27:48
Mr. Savage
should have introduced us.
:27:52
Oh, no, sir.
:27:54
- It was up to me.
- Well, it's not serious.
:27:57
If you look at it from the outside,
it's quite funny.
