Kisser!
Before going down, she threw me a single glance...
of searing hate suffused with scorn...
She was certainly a swell tomato!
That's a beautiful beginning, Capt. Russell...
It really is!
I'm afraid it's all rather disgusting really,
but... well, they seem to like the American touch.
Well.. um... proceed...
I leaned over her as she lay on the floor...
her green eyes half closed...
her bruised lips curled
in a slightly contemptuous smile.
"Petal", I whispered, "I love you, I love you. "
I love you.
- Three "I love you"s?
- That's right.
Then 4 dots and 4 X's...
Bother!
Capt. Deniston Russell's secretary.
Who wants him, please?
Oh... just a moment...
Your fiance...
Hello dear...
Yes, yes... I said I'd phone you at 6.
Well it's only 2 minutes past, you know.
Sorry, dear...
Just dictating letters...
paying bills, you know...
Yes, dear...
Oh dear, really, dear!
Goodbye, dear!
Well now... where were we?
dot-dot-dot and 4 X's
Oh yes...
A convulsive tremor shook her slender frame...
and Petal moaned...
Miss Wilcott?
Petal moaned.
I know it's none of my business,
but I think you ought to tell her.
Tell who... what?
Your fiance... about your being a writer.
If you're getting married in a fortnight...
But I couldn't do that...
Oh dear... good gracious no...
Oh, she'd never approve...
I mean it's not as if I were a... Bernard Shaw...
Oh, but she'd be proud of you!
Not many people can get
a book published at all...
And look at you... scores of them!
Yes, well I'm afraid Elizabeth doesn't
consider this sort of thing... art.
Well, if you ask me, I think she's a...
But I didn't ask you, Miss Wilcott!
Now, shall we proceed?
A convulsive tremor shook her slender frame...
...and Petal moaned...
Petal moaned...
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear...
What... a telegram?
Yes, yes... I'll take it.
Just a moment...
Yes...
Thank you... thank you very much.
Well, well, well!
Cousin Henry's dead...
Murdered?!
No, no, no, no... very peaceful.
Henry... he seems to have left me
a lot of money.
What?... good!
Good?... No... I was very fond of cousin Henry.
He was a remarkable man.
He was rich... he was very rich...
Well at least this ought to put an end to my
having to write this sort of stuff.
Goodbye to "Blood Lust"!
Goodbye to Mervyn Somesby
and Jeremy St Clair!
And Gloria Trabshaw!
Capt. Russell!... You wouldn't give up writing
just because you got a bit of money!?
Well, it would be a crime... you couldn't!
No, no... of course not, Miss Wilcott...
but don't you see now...
Now I can afford to write
under my own name
