23 Paces to Baker Street Page #4

not only think I'm blind, but crazy.

I told you it's my business

to know how people talk,

what they're thinking

when they say things.

And I tell you that girl was scared.

No one's that scared just because

someone suggests changing a job.

Oh, Mr. Hannon, you may very

well be right.

We're very obliged to you for getting

in touch with us so promptly.

Well somebody has to act promptly,

because whatever it is,

it's set for the tenth. Which

is just one week from today.

Well, what are you going to do?

We haven't got a lot to go on Mr. Hannon,

but we shall make inquiries.

And if in the mean time you

should recall anything further,

All I know is on that tape. And you're

welcome to play it through at any time.

Well thank you, Mr. Hannon. We may

take advantage of that.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Straining at the leash aren't they?

Can't wait to get started.

Where are we now?

Just passing under Waterloo Bridge.

Festival Hall, on the left.

I never saw that. After my time.

What's it like?

Modern.

What's that noise?

Helicopter coming in to

Waterloo air terminal.

They won't do anything.

Who?

Those policemen. They think I'm

making something out of nothing.

Well, of course...

Sure, sure. "Nothing to go on, possibly

innocent conversation and so forth."

But unless I'm going crazy, that girl was

terrified.

Maybe that's it. Maybe

I am going crazy.

Well, how does it look?

Is it beautiful?

Yes, yes, very beautiful.

The view, the buildings.

You make it all so vivid

I can almost see it!

Half past 5. The sun must be

just going down ahead of us.

Any barges coming down?

Yes. Two lots.

I know. And the river is gold now

with the sun on it like that.

The barges black

against the gold.

A slight wind that makes

the water glitter,

so that it slaps and dances

against the side of the boat.

Wait a minute!

Wait a minute.

What's up?

That perfume. That's it, I've got it!

Jean?

Yes, Phil?

Jean there's something I want

to ask you:
Do you remember

back home 3 years ago, we were

out in a rowboat somewhere?

Yes, we were on Lake Cayuga,

driving through Ithaca.

That's right. I was rowing,

and it was hot, and

you wiped my forehead

with a handkerchief.

Yes.

There was perfume on the handkerchief

- A perfume you used quite a lot then.

Do you remember what it was?

Yes. It was Plaisir D'Amour.

Do you still use it?

No. I haven't used it for almost

two years. It's too expensive.

It is expensive?

About the most expensive there is.

Why?

Well that woman yesterday was using it.

I got a whiff of it as she passed me.

Will somebody please tell

me what kind of nursemaid

uses just about the most
