The Lady Vanishes Page #4

Thank you.

Would you reserve two places

for lunch, please?

- If you'd care to have it with me.

- If I'm still alive.

Well, here we go.

Once more into the breach.

- Try to make it for the first sitting.

- Certainly, madam.

- Thank you.

- (Caldicott) It's a moot point.

There's nothing moot about it.

The fellow simply was not out.

If it hadn't been for the umpires,

he'd be batting still.

- I do not understand. If...

- I'll show you.

I saw it. I saw the whole thing. Look.

Here's Hutton at the wicket,

there's the umpire, Constantine bowling.

Stollmeyer, Headley, Sealy...

Oh, dear, he's forgot the sugar.

He's at the gasworks end,

so the light was on his right.

Constantine bowls.

- Would you pass the sugar, please?

- Pardon?

May I trouble you for the sugar?

I...

If you'd be kind enough

to pass the sugar.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Don't mention it.

Los, wir mssen uns beeilen. Ab!

(Laughter)

Shh!

- I think I'll take a nap too.

- That's a very good idea.

Cover up with your nice fur coat.

It's lovely and soft.

It is soft, isn't it? Yes.

I was given a squirrel coat

by a woman I worked for

but it was always getting caught

in my bicycle wheel.

Now, you have a good sleep

and then I'll wake you up

in time for a good, hot lunch.

(Whistles)

Danke.

(Mouths)

(Whistles melody)

(Train whistle)

Excuse me.

The English lady that was sitting there,

do you know where she went?

There has been no English lady here.

- Excuse me?

- There has been no English lady here.

You had perhaps a dream.

It wasn't a dream. I'm talking about

the lady that was sitting right there.

We went to the dining car. You

remember, you gave her the chocolate.

- Ich versteh nicht.

- You are, I think, still half asleep.

You went and came back alone.

You don't understand.

I'm talking about the lady.

The English lady in the brown hat.

I was feeling ill and she took care of me.

We went to the dining car.

- She had tea and I had whisky.

- Whisky?

That, no doubt,

is what is making you confused.

If this is some kind of practical joke,

I find it very unfunny.

- Oh, waiter?

- Yes, madam?

- You served me, right?

- Yes, madam.

Remember the lady with the brown hat?

Have you seen her again?

But madam was alone.

Don't be absurd.

Of course I wasn't alone.

She gave you a pack of tea. Something

horrible called Harriman's Herbal.

- You must remember that.

- There was no tea, madam.

Just a whisky and soda.

A large whisky and soda.

Not only that, she paid the check.

I'm sorry, madam,

but it was you who paid.

I have the bill

if madam would care to look.

Never mind. I'll find her myself.

Excuse me, I'm terribly sorry

to disturb you...
