I think the young man was just being compassionate as one who probably has felt the sting of gossip in the past. Bantry has too much pride. We all need the kindness of people sometimes. It was what I think the British call, "a bad showing" on his part. Did I say that correctly? / Cute that he uses, "Liberty Hall." I believe he's refering to our revolution. Anyone have an opinion about that? / Gossip. I define it as viscious talk about someone/something that you wouldn't say to the person
@OscarSp40 There are people (not me but still) who haven't watched this film yet and don't know that as of yet. You might want to think about deleting your comment about who dropped the body in the library, because right now you're spoiling people's fun. =)
The only thing I wuz suspicious of Bantry in the beginning was how the older hostess-dancer & he seemed to 'know' each other prior to the time they were "first" 'introduced' in the group scene.
But I've seen nothing 'come' of my suspicions as yet. Definitely 'hooked' on this "Marple" straight thru the 18th part 2-nite! Yay!

No, "Liberty Hall" is definitely not a reference to America. There would be no reason to bring in a reference
to America in a show that has no connection to it in any way.

Poor old Colonel Bantry, what awful people in that shop! I thought you were innocent until PROVED guilty in Britain. Basil's a nice guy though :-)

At 7:21 -- Mr. Blake mentions "tick", short for "ticket", the card on which shopkeepers kept a customer's account.

Well yes, it's a guilty conscience, since it was he who dropped the body in the Bantrys' library

Yes, but Bantry cannot know it. Argh, this reminds me of the few reasons why I do NOT like countryside.... mostly I love it.

Absolutely, it can be so cliquey and if they decide to give you the cold shoulder treatment it can be awful, I am sure.

Col. Bantry isn't grateful to Mr. Blake because at the beginning of this mystery, Mrs. Bantry said that Blake had called Bantry an old bugger, etc.
