- Tomorrow, if it suits you.
- Just as you please. The sooner, the better.
Ah, Burke!
Back on night duty again?
- Yes, sir, and very glad I am, too.
- Doesn't the wife mind?
No, it gives me some time at home
and a chance to see something of the nippers.
Oh, it sounds like a happy family.
I must confess I'm a bit envious.
I er... beg your pardon, sir, but... I'd like to take
the liberty of extending my condolences.
- It was very sad indeed, sir.
- Thank you, Burke.
You know, I don't know what it would be like
to come home and not find the missus there.
I can tell you.
It's like always being in the dark.
- Good night, Burke.
- Good night, sir.
Don't ever use her perfume.
- Morning, Wells.
- Why, Mr Macdonald, I didn't recognise you!
- Miss Elizabeth at home?
- I'm waiting for her.
Pardon me, sir. Aren't you afraid of... this thing?
Ah! Here she is.
- David, what are you doing here?
- Competing with Wells.
He's offering ancient transport.
I'm offering modern. You choose.
David! Oh, David, how lovely! Is it yours?
Yes. It's not exactly new, but it goes jolly fast.
12 miles an hour!
Oh, how wonderful!
Where are you off to?
Well, I was going shopping
and then to pick up Father at the warehouse.
I have a better idea.
Let's go for a spin in the country.
I should love to!
- Wells, you'd better call for Father.
- All right, miss.
- You'll need this for travelling at high speed.
- Thank you.
- How long have you been driving this thing?
- All of half an hour.
Oh, David, this is great fun!
Have you noticed
how I've steered away from all the ruts?
I couldn't do a better job myself.
Certainly couldn't look so beautiful doing it.
Oh, David, look, look!
There's the road ahead!
Brake like this.
Before you do any more driving,
I suggest you pay me a retainer.
From what I've just seen, you're likely to need
the services of a promising young barrister.
- May I present you with a receipt?
- That wasn't very fair.
- Why not?
Because... you're in love with Stephen Lowry.
How did you know?
I've seen you both together.
Beth, don't you realise? Only a few weeks ago,
you saw him standing in front of his wife's grave.
- Oh, I know. I know it's wrong.
- It's not only wrong, it's...
- But I've said nothing. Nor has he.
Does one have to say?
David, you are right and...
...I'm very ashamed of myself.
I've told myself all these things
over and over again.
Whenever I look at him, I make myself look
at that mourning band on his arm,
hoping it'll create a barrier between us.
But it's no use. Nothing is any use.
