This is no time for nonsense.
You're even prettier now.
What about Yates?
Does he know what you've done?
- Yates?
- Sam Yates, your lawyer.
Don't you know your own lawyer?
The state gave me a lawyer.
If anybody can help, it's Sam.
I'll call him,
and that's the end of it for me.
Whatever Yates decides,
he's got to get you out of here by dawn.
- That ankle had better be better.
- Thank you.
- See that you keep quiet.
- Yes, Miss Shelley.
I thought you had gone.
I was hoping you'd be awake.
I must say, this is irregular.
- I'm in trouble.
- In trouble?
- Yes, it's Mother.
- And what has Mother to do with it?
We live in a house in town.
We scrape on each other's nerves.
Sometimes the fights,
the things we say to each other...
Today we had one of our disagreements.
You have no idea how ugly.
The only thing that works is absence.
I thought that I'd stay here tonight.
You weren't supposed to come
until tomorrow.
I'm sorry, forgive me.
I'll go now.
Miss Shelley.
If you wish, another room.
Thank you so much.
There are plenty of blankets.
- Thank you.
- Good night.
Good night.
I was wondering if I could borrow
a pair of your pyjamas.
Thank you so much.
- Don't mention it. Good night.
- Good night.
If you're worried about anything,
there's a lock just inside the door.
Thank you. Good night.
Hello, is Mr. Yates there?
Do you know where I can find him?
Nora Shelley.
You haven't any idea
when he'll be back?
You haven't.
No, he can't reach me.
I may call again
early in the morning.
Goodbye. Thank you.
She must have adenoids.
Oh, my gosh.
Hey, get back in there.
Good morning.
A morning for the angels.
- A morning for jailbirds to stay in.
- What's for breakfast?
Lovely, lovely.
Really lovely.
Beautifully lovely.
Good morning.
Morning.
- Did you sleep well?
- Fair, thank you.
That's good.
Your adenoids trouble you, don't they?
Perhaps I shouldn't mention it...
magnificent snoring in my life.
Yes, isn't it awful?
They're as big as your fist.
I'll be obliged if you patch things up
with your mother today.
I'll go right home as soon
as I get things straightened up.
I intend to be at work
within the half-hour.
Please get dressed and leave,
without slamming the door.
But, your breakfast...
I'll have it ready in a jiffy.
If you don't mind, I'd prefer to...
Hello, is Mr. Yates there?
He's left the house?
Where to? Do you know?
This is Miss Shelley again.
Did you tell him I phoned last night?
No.
No, thanks.
Mother.
- What is this?
- Don't get alarmed.
Why did you stay out all night?
Where did you get these?
- Why didn't you phone me?
