Iris

1:13:00

I m-miss Janet

1:13:01

because I used to store up
funny things to tell her

1:13:06

had happened to us...

1:13:08

things I could no longer
tell Iris.

1:13:11

Another friend visited us
in Oxford overnight, recently,

1:13:16

and I found her
cleaning the bath.

1:13:18

I said, "Oh, please,
t-t-there's no need."

1:13:21

She said, "Oh, yes, there is.
I want to take a bath."

1:13:29

I was hoping to be able
to tell Janet that story.

1:13:33

S-She would have enjoyed it.

1:13:35

S-She would've laughed...

1:13:39

I mean, I think.

1:13:48

Anna Karenina...
Tolstoy, you know...

1:13:50

went on her way
to the station

1:13:53

to throw herself
under a train...

1:13:55

sees something funny

1:13:57

which she thinks to tell
Vronsky, her lover, about.

1:13:59

We all do it.

1:14:01

I do it with Iris and Janet...
all our friends.

1:14:04

But then, Anna thought,

1:14:06

that she wouldn't be seeing
Vronsky again

1:14:10

because she was
about to kill herself.

1:14:15

Y-You don't want to hear this.

1:14:19

Janet didn't kill herself.

1:14:25

But if there's one thing
that would have prevented Anna

1:14:30

from t-throwing herself
under a train,

1:14:34

that would be it...

1:14:36

the... the thought
of t-telling something funny

1:14:41

to t-the man she loves.

1:14:47

Well, t-the love is over.

1:14:55

Oh...

1:14:58

life will...
