Loving Miss Hatto Page #3

But you said you did!

Because I will have!

I visualise things

and then I make them happen.

And now I've ballsed it all up.

So, yes, I'm a liar.

Live in one horrible room.

It's my mother who lives in Henley

and she's not very keen on me.

And I saw something in you

and I wanted to make it work for you

and I got a bit ahead of myself

because I could see it all

so clearly.

And I am heartbroken

that I've messed it all up.

Oh, Lord, don't cry.

Well, I will cry.

Because I can't bear

that I've lost you.

Do you really believe in me

as a pianist?

No question.

I'm sorry for the muddle.

Be careful going down the stairs,

they've got a bit of a dip in them.

You're a lovely girl, Joyce.

Hardly. I've got wonky hair!

That's what your mother makes

you see, that's not what I see.

You're lovely.

And you're sweet. And funny.

That's what I see anyway.

Or did see.

We can't have any more muddles.

We won't.

Scout's honour.

Were you a Scout? No.

Thought not.

Can you make tea?

Oh, yeah.

I'll, erm... I'll get the milk.

I'll, erm, I'll just get the milk.

That's enough, Horace.

Three's enough.

Shall I get someone

to take the four of us?

No, don't go bothering people.

Excuse me.

Sorry, daughter's wedding.

Are you sure you don't want to

go out for a nice supper?

No, honestly, we've got

so much to do at the house.

Wallpapering waits for no man.

Oh, are you waiting for a man?

We could have given you

the name of a man.

No, no, we're going to

do it ourselves.

I thought you were waiting

for a man. Say cheese.

Or should it be Tchaikovsky?

Don't try and be funny, Horace.

Your case is upstairs, Mrs BC.

Do you, er, fancy turning in?

Yes, yes, let's go up.

Did I, erm... Did I hear

something about a negligee?

Yes.

Would you want me to put it on?

I'll say.

Let the dog see the rabbit.

What?

Er, nothing.

Look, I'll, er...

I'll go for a stroll.

Nice married man's stroll.

And, er, you sort yourself out

and I'll see you in the boudoir.

Do you think I should

just check the piano?

It's fine, it's got all its legs.

In a while, crocodile.

Joycey?

Oh, Lord, negligee,

wedding night, sorry.

You carry on.

I'll have another

scrape at the banisters.

Yes, I shall get my secretary to

type that up for you

and I shall see you with

Miss Hatto on the 24th...

Looking forward to it...

OK. Bye, bye.

Mrs Barrington-Coupe, just putting

in another booking for Miss Hatto.

What do you do when they ask to

speak to the secretary?

I say she's on the other line.

Have you got two lines?

No. Now, look at this.

Kirkcaldy and Pitlochry

all booked in.

Letchworth, Evesham, Spalding,

music club circuit

looks like it might happen.
