If I took the picture,
or your ring, or your pencil, I...
I didn't know.
You must bear with me, Paul.
I don't know how much longer
I can keep my patience.
- Eavesdropping, Nancy?
- No, sir.
I didn't hear anything.
I was just carrying the muffins...
Your mistress is
a very unusual woman.
Quite strange, you know.
You mustn't let things you hear
and see in this house upset you.
You are a young girl.
Inexperienced.
You are inexperienced, aren't you?
It depends how you mean, sir.
Thank you, Nancy.
Tillie, don't.
You know he doesn't like it.
Isn't it a lovely day, Paul?
Look at the sunshine out in the square.
- Where's my letter?
- What letter?
I haven't had one for such a long time.
I do hope it's from Cousin Vincent.
- It isn't here.
- Why should there be a letter for you?
Nancy told me there was one.
- Oh, Bella.
- Oh, she did. She did, Paul.
You've been through them yourself, dear.
You see they're all addressed to me.
I had so hoped...
There must be a letter, Paul.
Nine o'clock.
Good morning, ma'am.
Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, Elizabeth.
The dog, Bella.
I'm sorry, Tillie.
It won't be for long.
I will read from the 127th Psalm.
"Except the Lord build the house..."
"...but they speak with their enemies
in the gate."
Let us pray.
Pimlico Square, I was after.
Number 14 is the only empty house
in the square, I'm afraid.
We are the sole agents.
- My pipe worrying you?
- Not at all.
Faces south.
A little alley runs along the back.
Nothing to block out the light.
But we'll have some difficulty,
I'm afraid, Mr Rough.
Why's that?
The remainder of the lease of No.14
is in the hands of Mr Mallen of No.12.
And he's already refused
three good offers.
Why won't he let?
Do you know,
I have often wondered.
A queer profession, mine,
Mr Rough.
So near to so many people's lives,
and yet...
always on the doorstep, as it were.
Yes. Yes, indeed.
A fascinating study,
human nature, Mr Rough.
Fascinating.
You don't think there's much chance
of that house being on the market?
If you want to make an offer,
do so, by all means.
I sometimes wonder
if it's the noise he's afraid of.
The wife's a delicate woman.
Just had a breakdown, I understand.
A charming creature.
I've seen her often walking in the
gardens of the square with her dog.
- Gardens? Sounds very pleasant.
- They're charming, they are.
I'm sorry.
Oh... I wonder
how that happened, eh?
Oh... Oh, dear!
- Oh, my dear lady!
- I'm all right, thank you.
- Where's my little dog?
- Little savages.
- I hope you're not hurt, ma'am?
- No, not a bit.
- You come and sit down over here.
