00:00:06 Come on, Toby!
00:03:34 Now, there's one here. Look. Deckle-edged notepaper with a crest.
00:05:42 All he says is, "Everyone knows I'm his favourite."
00:07:41 And this is a nuisance not a felony.
00:09:17 But not a car, Geoffrey. We can't afford it. It's an investment.
00:10:56 You can see everything from that bloody window!
00:13:00 Bad business. Poor woman, something like that, everyone knowing.
00:14:44 Well... Geoffrey and me are...
00:16:37 And I don't know how to find out.
00:18:33 Anyway, you can't start immediately.
00:20:50 Right. B & B starting this summer but they might take one early.
00:23:53 It's all right if I come and sit? You're that reporter.
00:25:43 They wouldn't let me in! Members only.
00:27:52 But I wanted you to know what you were up against.
00:29:41 Is there any chance it could be true? Why should I answer?
00:31:40 Talk if you like. THEY won't.
00:33:40 HE? A woman wouldn't send me money.
00:36:02 How about this evening?
00:37:50 Grass - the informer. Patch - the territory. Right.
00:40:06 I think I've missed something.
00:41:53 You've come a long way in a short time.
00:43:27 You've been making a fool of me, Miss Allowby,
00:45:16 Was that helping? It was.
00:47:43 Home!
