- Yes, of course.
Our staff consists of Hillman,
the gardener,
and Mrs Kidder, she let you in.
She comes in three afternoons a week
to do the rough work.
My grandfather. He founded
the family fortune - tea biscuits.
Oh yes and very excellent biscuits
they were too.
A severe man, I'm afraid.
Miss Marple, I think it only fair
to explain that my father is...
...quite frankly, difficult at times.
He's an invalid.
He's very keen on economy
and sometimes says things
that upset people.
- I wouldn't want you to...
- I'm used to caring for the elderly.
We'll manage.
Emma!
Emma! I hear you!
- Yes, Father. Excuse me.
- Don't try to sneak off.
- Is the new girl with you?
- Well... yes, Father.
I hope she's got more meat on her
than the last one. I hate 'em skinny!
Don't just stand there boggling,
bring her in.
Yes... er...
will you come in please?
Father,
this is Miss Marple, er... Jane.
A plain Jane if I ever saw one.
We can't all be young and handsome
can we, Mr Ackenthorpe?
I cannot tolerate impertinence.
Then we should get on admirably -
neither can I.
If you're staying and I suppose
you've got to, understand this:
Because I live in a big house
doesn't mean I'm a rich man.
So don't come here
with big ideas.
I live here because I want to,
- Father, don't you think...
- No! Can you cook?
If you want
good English cooking, yes.
Cod is as good as lobster
and much cheaper.
That depends on whether one has
a palate unsullied by cheap opiates.
If you mean what I think you mean,
this cost two shillings.
Yes, quite.
- I'll show Miss Marple to her room.
- Good idea.
That was Hillman the gardener. When
Father moves about, he calls him.
They're close.
Will you stay, Miss Marple... Jane?
- My dear lady, of course.
- I'm so glad.
Emma, come back here!
You've forgotten my medicine.
Excuse me.
Your room is the door
opposite the small stairs.
- I'll find it.
- May I give you those?
- All right?
- Yes, thank you.
Come out, at once!
I advise you to come out!
Very well...
You're Miss Emma's nephew, I presume?
Yes, Alexander Eastley.
How do you do?
How do you do?
I'm Jane. Jane Marple.
Yes... it is disappointing, isn't it?
I'd hoped for a Jayne Mansfield.
You have much in common
with your grandfather.
We're very alike in many ways.
Mind you, I'm not mean. He'll stop
that vase out of your wages.
It's just as well
you got out of the way, or...
It would have been my head
and you would get 10 years.
It's still possible.
Not only do you
not look like Jayne Mansfield,
you're not my idea of a maid either.
Well, quite honestly, I don't think
