Sapphire Page #3

---

Hello.

You can get me at the Dorset Hotel.

They take us there.

Thank you.

So, that!s the brother.

Yes.

I think I was right.

Hate killed Sapphire.

I think she died

because she was colored.

She was also pregnant.

Three months. The autopsy!s just in.

Young Harris, of course.

Oh, I don!t know.

We can!t be sure now, can we?

I mean, uh, might be anybody.

[ Vehicles Passing ]

Dad, I!ve been trailing everywhere after you.

What!s the matter?

The girl on Hampstead Heath -

it was Sapphire.

- Sapphire?

- Yes, David!s had to go and identify her.

David?

- I!m so frightened, Dad.

- Don!t worry, girl. Where!s David now?

He!s gone home.

You didn!t tell us

you were the father of Sapphire!s child.

You didn!t ask me.

Were you on the other side of that?

No.

[ Children Chattering. Laughing ]

It!s the police, Ted.

They!re in there with Davy now.

Don!t worry, dear.

It!s only routine.

- Where do you think you!re going to?

- Up to my room, Dad.

I told him he could,

and I want him to.

Show him, Milly?

- I!m Davy!s father.

- Uh, Superintendent Hazard.

- What!s been said?

- They know about the baby, Dad.

Well, what of it? We knew.

She came here to tell us on Saturday,

just after lunch.

My boy was going to marry her.

I gave her my word he would.

They want to know what time

I got in on Saturday night, Dad.

About 1 1 :
00.

Did you talk to anyone in Cambridge,

anyone who might remember you?

- Where did you eat?

- I took sandwiches.

He always does.

We can!t afford meals in cafes, you know.

Finished, Inspector?

Yes. Uh, thank you, Mrs. Farr.

He went through David!s room

with a magnifying glass.

I don!t care if they take the boards up.

Davy!s got nothing to hide.

Do you think they!ll be gone

by the time the twins get back?

They!ll hear it at school, Milly.

You can!t keep it from them.

You!ve got to make up your mind to that.

Excuse me. Superintendent Hazard

would like to see you for a moment, Mrs. Farr.

Uh, Mrs. Farr, what time did you

finish work at the dairy on Saturday?

- About half &:
00.

- A little late, surely.

My assistant was away all last week.

I had the tidying up to do.

I see. Did you come straight home?

- This is your home?

- For the moment.

My husband!s away at sea.

- Who was in the house when you got here?

- Nobody.

I was at the club.

My wife was at her sister!s with the twins.

- Twins?

- My children.

Oh. Uh, the girl, Sapphire,

had gone when you got in?

Yes. She wasn!t here.

How did she seem

when you saw her earlier in the day?

Same as usual - full of life.

Did you know that she was colored?

- We knew.

- How long?

We knew. That!s enough, isn!t it?

I see.

I understand you!ve just won
