She-wolf Of London Page #5

[Sighing] I'd feel... I'd feel unclean.

Psst! Hannah. Oh! What're

you doin' here, Mr. Barry?

Not so loud. Go on with your work.

I want to ask you some questions.

How's Phyllis this morning?

She seems much better, sir.

[Whispering] She's in the

garden now. Gettin' some sun.

That's strange.

Mrs. Winthrop told me

she was too ill to see me.

She's been telling me

that for two days now.

Mrs. Winthrop is peculiar,

if you ask me.

Only don't tell her

I said so.

I won't, if you'll let me go

through here to the garden.

Go ahead!

What's holdin' ya?

[Whispering] And if ya get caught,

I'll swear I never set eyes on ya.

And I'll

confirm it.

[Sighs]

Hello, darling.

Barry!

How did you get here? I'll

tell you about that later.

First, I want

to talk to you.

Why have you been

avoiding me, Phyllis?

I've been trying to see you

for the past two days.

Is that any way to treat the man

you're going to marry next Wednesday?

Barry, please.

I can't talk about it now.

[Sighs]

Phyllis, what's the matter? It's Barry.

Will you please

ask him to go?

Barry, I didn't know

you were here.

Where did Phyllis go?

I've got to talk to her.

You'd better not. You've

upset her enough already.

How could I have upset her? I

merely walked into the garden...

and asked her why

she's been avoiding me.

Perhaps she's been avoiding you because she

didn't want you to see her while she was ill.

She's a sensitive girl. Don't force the

issue when she's feeling as she does now.

What's wrong with her, Mrs.

Winthrop? What's come over her?

You'd think a girl about to be

married would be in great spirits.

It's just a case of nerves.

I'm sure it's nothing serious.

In a couple of days, when she's feeling

better, she'll be a different person.

In the meantime,

I'll take good care of her.

You'd better go now.

Hello, Barry. Good afternoon, Carol.

I know, you've been calling

on the bride-to-be. How is she?

I wish I knew.

Carol, will you come for a drive

with me? I'd like to talk to you.

All right.

[Carriage Rattling]

[Dog Barking]

[Dogs Barking]

Good evening. Are you

the lady of the house?

I'm a lady. But I only

work here. Who are you?

My name is Latham, Criminal

Investigation Department, Scotland Yard.

Oh. Come in.

Thank you.

I'll call Mrs. Winthrop right

away. Well, don't bother.

You can give me

the information I want.

Uh, how many people

live in this house?

Four. Mrs. Winthrop, her

daughter, her niece and meself.

No men?

Not a man.

Mm. Are there any dogs about the place?

Yes, indeed! And

vicious beasts they are.

Every night they keep me awake

with their barkin' and howlin'.

You'd be doin' me a great

favor if you'd take them away.
