if we were in Willingdon's position.

I told him that.

But every man has to act

according to his own conscience.

Did it occur to you

that his mind might be unbalanced?

No, I wouldn't venture an opinion.

If it was, perhaps we're to blame.

We've placed on his shoulders this

burden and left him to deal with it.

I say, Steve!

Yeah?

This is extraordinary. Here...

...look at that.

All that scrawl across

Daddy's writing! Here's another one.

Wait a minute.

This is Daddy's writing!

May I have a look, please?

Thank you.

amid the blaze of noon."

This your father's writing?

Yes, but I don't understand.

He wouldn't do that. Mr Folland...

...do you think he's ill?

Yes, I do.

That's why we must find him quickly.

Lane, we'll take these with us.

Seems he was heading for a breakdown

for some time. None of us noticed.

Repressing a fear is like trying to

hold on the lid of a boiling kettle.

Somethings got to go eventually.

What happens?

They work through an area, then they

start all over again somewhere else.

It's a tedious business. The men

don't enjoy it. Nobody enjoys it.

Let me see the hotel register.

Excuse me, sir!

Well, I'm damned!

Let's have a look at you.

I wasn't in miles of

Freeman's Wharf last

night! I don't know

nothing about no cigarettes!

All right, get on with your game -

you may win a packet.

it's love that you miss, my baby... #

# But if pearls are my price,

Then you'll tell me "No dice"...#

Rutton House. Come on.

Well, there's your

haystack, Lane. And it's

a damned small needle we're looking for.

No, I never was one

for hair on the face. A

clean upper lip shows

you've got nothing to hide.

Yes.

- Doing anything to grow more hair?

- Nothing.

Well have to do more. Wait...

No, thanks. I'm in rather a hurry.

My tonic'd grow hair on an elephant!

How much do I owe?

Bob, sir. If you do nothing about it

you'll get as bald as a coot!

- Thank you.

- Thank you!

Next, please.

Kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Come on, good girl!

Yes?

Mrs Peckett?

Yes.

You're advertising a furnished room.

Oh, the first floor front. Yes, it

is vacant. Well, come in, will you?

Thank you.

Down you go, Wendy. I

don't mind the gentlemen

going out but I'm

particular about my ladies.

My cats, you know. How long

would you want the room, Mr...?

Richardson. I'd like it for a week.
