marvelously.

"I hope to finish it by

tonight, but whether I do or not,

"I can't stand being away

from you any longer,

"so I'm going to start back

first thing in the morning.

"In fact, I may reach you

before this letter does.

"Longing to see you,

darling. Your own Paul. "

It's from a little place

across the French border.

If only it could have

arrived sooner.

It's no good wishing that,

I'm afraid.

Look, Inspector, I must get

to the villa before he does.

It'd be awful if he hears

about this from a stranger.

Yes, that would be very kind.

And please tell him I must

see him as soon as possible.

Yes, I'll tell him.

Goodbye.

Candy, will you be all right

if I leave you for a bit?

But you promised you were going

to talk to me about everything.

"As soon as we got

to the hotel," you said.

Well, not now, dear. Later. I must

go out just for a little while.

You just stay here quietly.

If Mummy was going to

do a thing like that,

she would have left me

a letter, wouldn't she?

There was no letter, pet.

That's what I mean.

It was Paul. You must

believe me. Please, Jean.

Paul was in France

when it happened.

How do you know?

Have they found him?

Look, darling, I can't

explain. Now I must go.

Now try and get some rest.

I won't be long.

I promise.

They don't believe me, Toto.

Just like

they didn't believe me

when I said I saw him holding Daddy

down when he fell from the boat.

The bubbles kept on

coming and coming,

till there weren't

any more bubbles.

We've got to find out, Toto.

We've got to find out!

Mr. Decker.

What can I say?

I hoped to be here

before you.

I didn't want you

to walk into this.

I'm so sorry.

I can't understand it.

It just isn't possible.

If there was anything

worrying her,

why didn't she tell me?

Why didn't she...

Please, you mustn't torture

yourself with questions.

Nobody really understands why

a person does such a thing.

We must try and think

about the future.

What's to be done

about Candy.

Yes, of course. Poor Candy.

Is she all right?

Yes, she's all right.

I took her to a hotel.

I couldn't let her

stay here.

No, of course not.

I've arranged a room for

you, too. I didn't think...

Thank you, dear Jean. What

would we do without you?

You're so practical.

I must go and see Candy.

The inspector of police wants to

see you when you feel all right.

Ah, yes. Now starts all the

questions and all the talking.

I suppose

it has to be done.

How do you

feel now, pet?

I feel all right,

thank you, Jean.

You look startled.

Something wrong?

No.

Why don't you get undressed

and get into bed?

I could have your supper

sent up. Come on up, Toto.

That would be nice,
