All these troubles, Lord

They got me seeing blue...

Hold it.

All these troubles, Lord

I'll go determine what this is about.

Gentlemen.

This is a private service.

What is the meaning of this?

No disrespect, Reverend,

but we've been instructed

to remove the bodies

of the deceased.

This is church property.

Reverend,

we have documents

issued by the court

instructing us to

exhume these remains.

The bodies are to be

taken to Cambridge.

Lord, Lord, Lord

They're exhumingthe bodies.

But how can this happen?

Are they not to be buried?

All right, I'm done.

Alice, would you mind reading?

My eyes are too tired.

my deepest condolences.

Thank you.

an official inquiry

into the murder of your parents.

Your presence is requested

tomorrow morning at 9:00.

An officer will be sent

to escort you

Very well. 9:

It's just a formality.

That's all.

And what about lunch?

- We'll be done by lunch.

- Well...

And we'll get you home

right after.

Thank you, Mayor.

It was a pleasure meeting you.

Lizzie, stop!

We have to go to

the police station tomorrow!

It's only a formality, Emma.

It's interesting.

Interesting?

Don't you think?

No, I do not!

Our parents are dead!

Good night, Emma.

Good night.

Look right.

Have you any idea how much your father

was worth?

No, sir.

Have you ever formed an opinion?

Never.

You have been

Cordial?

That depends upon

one's idea of cordiality.

were killed?

It was a blue

cotton dress with embroidery.

Do you know whether there was
