Perhaps these painful memories

are best forgotten, sir.

Hello?

Yes, speaking.

Douglas, old man.

What?

Ha ha ha ha.

Tell me, what time is

the match on Saturday?

Hmm?

I'm not playing?

I must say I'm a

little surprised, yes.

Well, who's in?

Walter?

But good gracious me, I can beat

Walter any day of the week.

It was 6-2, 6-3 last time.

Hmm?

Well, listen, Douglas,

you know I've got absolutely

nothing against Walter,

in fact, he is, well,

he is one of my best friends,

but it's just that I've been

looking forward to the game.

I've made all my arrangements.

Yes, Douglas.

Yes, I appreciate that, but...

yes, Douglas.

Yes, of course.

Goodbye.

Oh, Douglas!

My regards to Walter.

Your morning newspaper, sir.

Hmm? Oh, yes.

And just to start you off,

sir,

number 23 Across is

"castles in Spain".

Oh, erm...

you won't forget that booking,

Gloatbridge?

The Hampshire Buttery,

for two, at 9.

The Camellia Room,

for two, at 9.

Very well, sir.

And number 13 Down is

"Cleopatra's needle".

Good evening, madam.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening, sir.

Good evening.

Madam.

Good evening.

May I take your coat?

Thank you.

Good evening.

There we are.

Shall we go in?

Oh, yes.

Yes?

Palfrey.

Yes?

Table for two.

I'm sorry, no table is free.

Good evening, my lady.

Good evening.

Number 27.

I thought you said

you'd booked.

Yes, I did.

Erm, excuse me, I booked.

Oh?

Erm, Palfrey. Henry Palfrey.

Well, there's no one here

of that name.

Palfrey.

P- a-l-f-r-e-y.

My chief clerk booked it for me.

May I see that list?

If you please, sir.

He must've have booked at

another restaurant.

Maybe if you gave him something.

Yes, of course.

Erm...

do you think, perhaps, you...

might have another look?

And what did you say

the name was, sir?

Palfrey.

We have a Mr. Poultry, here,

sir, table for two at 9 o'clock.

That's me, Mr. Poultry. Ha ha!

9 o'clock, Henry Poultry.

Unfortunately, sir,

it's now 9:
15,

and tables aren't held

beyond the booked time.

You can wait.

I'll see what I can do for you

of course.

But look!

There's a table over there.

How discerning you are, madam.

But you see, it's that

gentleman's table.

Hail, good innkeeper!

Hello, Sam.

Thank you, sir.

Rose.

Good evening, Mr. Delauney.

Evening, Skinner.

Hello, Ray!

Oh, hello, er...

Palfrey.

Hello, hello, hello.

Where did you find this

lovely creature?

Oh, we met quite by accident,

as a matter of fact.

I was trying to catch a bus

and April was...

well, do the decent thing,

old chap.

Fellow club members

and that sort of thing.

Yes, of course. Mr. Raymond

Delauney, Miss April Smith.

What a romantic name.

"Oh, to be in England

now that April's here."
