:43:02
- Everybody's waiting for you.
- Then we mustn't keep them waiting.
:43:06
Please don't tell them that I told you
the surprise. I said I wouldn't.
:43:10
Oh, well, you didn't really tell us
anything about it, did you?
:43:12
- Yes I did. It's a play.
- It's a play?
:43:28
"The Lamentable Tale of Lady Ursula."
:43:31
"A play in one act
by Peter Llewelyn Davies."
:43:37
- This is just a bit of silliness, really.
- I should hope so. Go on.
:43:41
I just wanted to take a stab at writing,
you know.
:43:44
Well, the others do
a good job with it anyway.
:43:47
Well, let's see it then.
:43:51
"The Lamentable Tale of Lady Ursula."
:43:55
"One morning, just after sunrise,
:43:57
Lady Ursula, the most beautiful daughter
of Lord and Lady Dubon,
:44:01
made her way up the steps of the great
cathedral to pray to her blessed saint."
:44:06
"Suddenly, as she reached
the cathedral doors,
:44:09
the gargoyle that guarded
the sacred structure
:44:12
came to life and swooped down upon her."
:44:17
"The people of the village all ran to safety,
:44:19
but Lady Ursula slipped
on the cathedral steps
:44:22
and the gargoyle descended upon her,
wrapping her in its huge wings
:44:27
and taking her high up into the spires
of the cathedral."
:44:31
- Go on, Peter.
- "Not long after this sorrowful event,
:44:35
a young knight named JM Barnaby
came into the city."
:44:40
Sylvia.
:44:43
- Do you want some water?
- Mother?
:44:45
- No, James.
- Let's get her back to the house. Go on.
:44:52
She won't discuss it with me at all.
She claims it was nothing.
:44:56
I tell you, Doctor, she couldn't breathe.
:44:59
You can't very well treat a patient
who won't admit there's anything wrong.
