something to eat?

- Yes, thank-you.

- Lovely weather, we're having.

- Yes, splendid.

- Who did you say that was?

- He's a very important friend of Frank's.

I'll get the breakfast for me.

- I say, awfully rude. Won't you take my chair?

- Oh, thank-you.

- Did you see, or hear anything

during the night?

- No, sir.

- What time did you go to bed?

- What time did you go to bed?

Did you write this?

Yes.

How old would you say this man

was.

I'm afraid I couldn't tell you sir,

he had his hat on.

Did you notice anything paticular about

his... clothes?

Well ah... he had a black hat and

a loose kind of collar...

...a tie... and that' s about all I think.

Was he dark or fair?

Well, you couldn't say he was a blond and

you couldn't say he was a brunette. Little

bit of both, you know, kind of mousey.

- Anything else?

- No.

Except when he spoke to you,

he went like this.

Ok.

Give me a record.

Well, bring him along. Let's hear

what he's got to say.

- Understood?

- Yes, sir, right.

Get along with it...

How much longer is that man going

to stay? Don't tell me he's staying til dinner.

Don't make things awkward mother.

It means a lot to him.

Well, I don't see why they should

carry on their business in my parlour.

- I'll take it.

- Very well.

But I don't like that man. The

sooner he goes the better.

...yes, you are very clever.

I can see that all right.

Frank? Just a minute will you?

A friend of yours at the Yard, said

he thought you might be here.

Oh, all right.

Hello?

Yes. Yes.

- Well, I thought you wouldn't mind if...

What?

Who?

Any news Frank?

Alice... Lock that door.

As you were saying... rather unfortunate the way

that poor young man round the corner died last night.

On the other hand, perhaps it's

fortunate. For us, that is...

There's a suspicious looking man,

with a criminal record,

was seen looking around the place.

You...

Look here, don't you try and pin this

thing on me. That

won't get you anywhere.

Also quite unfortunate, that

Scotland Yard, are

at present looking for that man.

- I say, Frank!

- Just a minute Alice.

But there's one thing you seem to

have forgotten...

Oh, and what's that?

Before we get to any hangings, I

shall have quite a lot to say.

And the first thing I shall say is,

that she was there too.

Oh, you will, will you?

Isn't there one thing you seem to

have forgotten, that our words

are as good as, or perhaps a bit better...

...than that of a jailbird.

...than that of a jailbird.

Meanwhile, we'll just sit quietly here

until the squad van arrives.

- That surprises you doesn't it?

- No, that doesn't surprise me in the least.

When it comes, so it won't be for me.
