Berkeley Square Page #3

---

Oh I will trust you .. if you will

only tell me what this is all about.

You would not ..

No, I can't ..

You mustn't ask me that ..

What's that?

What?

It sounded like a wagon .. or a

coach rattling over cobblestones.

It seems to stop here.

There is only your car at the door.

Peter .. a coach .. cobblestones?

In Berkeley Square?

Yes .. silly, wasn't it.

Well Peter .. it's time

to come along to tea.

Tea? Oh yes of course .. the Ambassador.

I've got to be back at half past five.

Is someone coming?

No ..

Well then, come along dear.

It will do you good.

Marjorie, you don't want to marry me.

You only want to look after me.

One goes with the other.

I suppose so.

It won't take me a moment to

get a coat. I'll be back in a jiffy.

How quickly we Americans

take to tea over here.

Yes, it doesn't take long

to get to like tea, does it.

I don't mean the tea itself,

but what it stands for.

A sort of charming rest period,

all that sort of thing.

Is that a portrait of John Adams, sir?

Yes.

Our first minister to Great Britain.

He came over here in 1784.

1784?

It's after five. I must run along.

Oh, but you don't have to go, Peter.

Well ..

Goodbye dear.

Marjorie ..

The next time you see me ..

If I behave oddly or ..

It's no use .. goodbye dear.

We must get him out of that house.

Don't worry.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Changeable weather we're having.

Has it been changeable?

I hardly realized there

has been any weather.

Haven't been going out much, eh?

No, I ..

Why do you ask?

Oh, nothing in particular.

I just wondered why I hadn't seen

you anywhere all these weeks.

Well .. that house has been

taking up most of my time.

You know, I've been wondering why that

remote English cousin left it to you.

Old Mr Pettigrew?

He read a paper of mine on architecture.

It turned out later that a Standish

ancestor of mine had built the place.

Oh, I see .. you know ..

People sometimes get

morbid and musty when they ..

They shut themselves up in old houses.

Marjorie is really quite

disturbed about you.

I do wish she wouldn't be.

I really can't go out just now.

Look here, Standish .. don't you think

you ought to get away for a while?

Get away? .. Yes, it would be

great to get away wouldn't it.

Really away, into the blue .. you

think I'm a bookworm don't you?

But there still are adventures.

Inconceivable adventures.

Why shouldn't I tell you?

I want to leave someone here who knows.

Knows? Knows what?

I think that when I go home to Berkeley

Square at half-past-five tonight ..

I shall walk into the 18th Century ..

and meet the people living there.

Well, now that I've told you I suppose

you will, ring up a specialist.
