which goes straight
to the secret heart
of this wretched
little conspiracy.
Where was my client's husband
during these observations?
Captain Waring had accompanied
me as we kept watch.
And did he not storm the house?
Did he not beat upon the door?
Did he not seize his wife's
paramour by the throat
and hurl him into the gutter?
According to my notebook, no.
What does the fellow say?
Not according to his notebook,
dear.
Ah.
Then, according to
your notebook...
was he enjoying himself?
- Really.
- Please, Mr. Bulstrode!
I have sat here for three days
like patience on a monument
while a series of spiteful,
mean, petty,
sickening,
and small-minded charges
are tediously paraded
against the unfortunate woman
I represent.
And now,
when I rise to cross-question,
I will not be interrupted!
Gentlemen.
Gentlemen, please.
[Clears throat]
What was your question?
I have forgotten it.
My learned friend's interruption
has had the effect
he no doubt intended,
and I have forgotten
my question.
But this is intolerable.
Ah!
Now I've remembered it again.
Uh, did he enjoy the night
he spent in the field
from which he was miraculously
able to overlook
his own kitchen?
SON'.
He sent words into the darkness
like soldiers to battle
and was never short
of reinforcements.
In the law courts, he gave
his public performance.
You must understand
that Captain Waring
to this court.
On the subject
of racing glasses?
No, Mr. Bulstrode.
On the subject of love.
He has told us
that he was deeply and sincerely
in love with his wife.
I don't know anything
about that.
Exactly, Mr. Thong.
You are hardly an expert witness
on the subject of love, are you?
Members of the jury,
love has driven men and women in
times past to curious extremes.
and Ophelia to madness.
serenity of the Garden of Eden,
and we are told
no more curious example
of the mysterious effects of
the passion than the spectacle
of Captain Waring
of the Royal Engineers
roosting in a tree,
complacently viewing
the seduction of his beloved
through a pair
Is not the whole story,
members of the jury,
an improbable and impertinent
tissue of falsehoods?
Bu! As soon as possible,
he returned to the safety
of the dahlias,
the ritual
Visitors were rare,
and h' spotted,
into the foliage
- until the danger was passed.
- Oh, my God.
Oh, really.
Well, I'm going to ground.
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
- Coast clear?
- I'm sure she saw us.
