:54:00
Anybody would have stopped me, I would
have been looking for the toilet.
:54:03
Of course, nobody did.
:54:05
Did you think it was
a good cocktail party?
:54:08
Highly successful
I would say, sir.
:54:10
But Mrs. Miles
looked a bit out of sorts.
:54:14
I refer to this as Exhibit "D. "
:54:30
Did you look at it?
:54:32
I ascertained its nature, sir.
:54:35
And from one entry, judged
she wasn't the cautious type.
:54:37
So happy. Returns today.
:54:40
My experience of diaries
is they always give things away, sir.
:54:44
People invent their little codes.
You soon see through them, sir.
:54:47
I woke up and
the sun was shining.
:54:49
This covers several years.
:54:52
I hope you're satisfied, sir.
:54:54
Life was going to be happy again.
But last night I dreamt--
:54:58
I think this may well
close our account, Parkis.
:55:01
Yeah. I had a feeling
it might, sir.
:55:05
I have enjoyed
our association, sir...
:55:08
if one can talk of enjoying
under the sad circumstances.
:55:11
As have l.
:55:13
So I hope you wouldn't
resent a memento, sir.
:55:22
There's quite a history
with that.
:55:25
- Do you remember the Bolton case?
- I can't say I do.
:55:28
It caused quite
a stir at the time, sir.
:55:31
Lady Bolton,
her maid and a man.
:55:33
All discovered together.
:55:36
That ashtray stood
beside the bed, sir.
:55:38
On the lady's side.
:55:44
Well, I shall treasure it, Parkis.
:55:48
If ashtrays could speak, sir.
:55:51
Indeed.
:55:56
Perhaps I should call later, sir, just
to make sure there were no loose ends?
:55:59
Thank you, Parkis.
