Mr Stringer,
will you give me a leg up?
- Really, Miss Marple, I...
- Please, Mr Stringer.
No, no!
Make a stirrup.
That's it. Come on now.
CarefuI! Are you ready?
- Interlock your fingers!
- They are interlocked!
- Well, are you ready?
- Yes... up!
Magnificent!
Down!
- What a frightfuI man.
- What a frightfuI dog!
Miss Marple,
prudence demands a retreat.
I am convinced the body
is on the other side of this wall.
That's the Ackenthorpe Hall Estate?
I know. Perfect.
Easy enough for someone
from the house to get the body
and dispose of it in the grounds.
Do you mean one of the family?
Yes, or one of the servants -
if they have any.
Servants... I wonder...
Miss Marple, whatever it is,
no, no, no!
Mr Stringer,
we will withdraw temporarily.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
There's nothing on my books.
Not so much as a mother's help.
I'm seeking a post, not offering one.
Pray be seated, my good woman.
Seek no more.
You've come to the right place.
How good to see the spirit
of unselfish service is still here.
Let me see now.
Yes! Here's a perfect plum.
"CheerfuI home for cheerfuI lady.
Own suite, TV, radio
and a use of car.
Tea in bed on Sundays.
Pension scheme."
Heaven forbid!
Oh, all right.
"Mrs Forbes Alexbridge.
Setting up house near Monte Carlo."
They won't have foreigners.
"Own gaming allowance."
I don't like gambling.
"Mrs Hamilton Potts."
The Dingley Stud Farm, you know.
"Seven children - eldest seven."
Oh, no, thank you.
May I have a quiet word
with Mrs Binster?
I am Mrs Binster.
Oh, I see.
a position at Ackenthorpe Hall?
- Ackenthorpe Hall?
- Yes, Ackenthorpe Hall.
Oh, yes,
I think I can accommodate you.
Yes, there's always a vacancy there.
Thank you.
Yes?
I'm Jane, from Mrs Binster's
Employment Agency, the new maid.
Well, you look old enough
to know better. Come in.
- I am to see Miss Ackenthorpe.
- You're expected. In there.
- Miss Ackenthorpe?
- Yes.
I'm Jane.
- The new maid?
- Yes, Jane Marple.
If you'll kindly show me
where to put my things...
Oh, yes. Yes, of course.
Is this post
really what you are looking for?
Well naturally,
otherwise I wouldn't be here.
I don't want a housekeeper.
I want someone to... to do the work.
Yes. You want cooking, washing up,
beds made, floors scrubbed,
fires lit, ashes taken away...
I understand.
- I hope you'll find us suitable.
- Oh, I'm sure I shall.
I hope the work's not too exacting.
There are three of us,
myself, my nephew -
down for the school holidays -
and Father.
- May I show you to your room?
- Yes.
I'll take that, my dear.
Perhaps the clubs, if you don't mind.
- I must keep fit, you know.
