A Blueprint for Murder Page #3

Maggie!

What on earth got into you making

a crazy crack like that about Lynne?

- You can get into trouble.

- Now I'm getting mad.

I only said it was possible, and it is.

- Why don't you like Lynne?

- I can take her or leave her.

Aw, come on, Maggie.

You've got her all wrong.

She certainly made Bill a good

wife. He was very happy with her.

Maybe so.

- What time's the funeral tomorrow?

- 10:
00.

- Do you plan to stay on afterwards?

- Till the end of the week.

Well, that'll at least give

me a few more days. Bye-bye.

[Cameron Narrating] The

more I was with Lynne...

the more I realized what a fine,

wonderful person she really was.

Must you really leave tomorrow?

I've stretched it as long as I could.

It's been over a week, you know.

- Yes, I know.

- I'll be back as soon as I can.

- You can rely on that.

- Good.

Lynne's warmth and affection for Doug...

helped so much to soften the

blow ofhis sister's death.

Never did Maggie's absurd suspicions...

seem more fantastic than now.

Mr. Sargent wants you on the phone.

Tell him I'll call him back later, please.

- No, go on, Cam.

- I'll take it.

Excuse me.

- Fred?

- You still leaving tomorrow morning?

Yes, of course. 7:15 plane.

Can you possibly stay over?

There's something we ought to tell you.

Maggie's been pestering me about it.

- I don't see how I can, Fred.

- Go on!

- Well, I... I kinda hesitate

bringing it up on the phone.

- What is it?

- You know I handled your

brother's estate. - Mm-hmm.

Under the terms of the will,

Lynne's share was left in trust.

She receives merely the interest,

unless...

Unless?

- Now, I don't want you to think

we're jumping to conclusions.

- Well, unless what?

Unless both children were

to die. Both Polly and Doug.

- What the devil are you trying to say?

- It could prove a motive.

I'm amazed at you.

Why, the idea's ridiculous.

I know it sounds that way...

but I think you ought to stay over

another day so we can talk it over.

- For one reason...

- One reason?

Remember, for Lynne to get the money

it requires the deaths of both children.

All right.

I'll see you in the morning.

## [Continues]

Beautiful.

- That was lovely.

- Thank you.

By the way, uh, I've decided to stay over

another day or so, if it's all right with you.

- You know it is.

- That's great, Uncle Cam!

Well, now that your Uncle Cam is going to be

here tomorrow, how about you getting to bed?

Sleep late tomorrow too. You've

been looking a little peaked.

Oh, I'm all right. I'm feeling fine.

- Soon as you get in your pajamas,

I'll come up and say good night.

- Don't forget!

I've been worried about
