Ah, yes, of course Perhaps I have letters on my mind dear after that episode with Sheila The first Sheila Campbell that is dear. Hand me my knitting. That's a nice boy Do you know I'm continually amazed at the stupidity of these English Can you imagine that girl that's that's supposedly trained agent dropping that note? And addressed mind you To the British intelligence. It was very alert of you Carl finding it. Thank you enough. You excuse me. I'm rather tired And yes, this espionage. It's not a restful of service Sometimes I wonder if burning really appreciates the risk we have taken. Yes The girl had to be disposed of. That was no doubt of it. That was her report on us. All the facts Aunt Rita, we've gone over this a thousand times. I really am tired You were right in realizing what bad to what had to be done. It was just that you acted too Please, Aunt Rita, explain all that It was hastily too thoughtfully too violent I couldn't help it. I tell you she rushed into the telephone room out there I ran after her in that that stupid catchlock pinned us in She went to pieces pounding on the door screaming tearing at me. I didn't know what I was doing There was that bookend the big one. I lost my head. That's all it's all your fault. Why didn't you lock the door? Stop it I simply want you to remember that every incident counts Because of you, we cannot produce Sheila Campbell's remains and we certainly can't allow the police to tear up the cellar to find them Because of you, we shall have to produce a substitute body, a substitute Sheila Campbell who will satisfy the authorities completely We have her. I don't intend to lose her The note, please The note? The one that girl just gave you to mail I don't know what you're talking about All I know is you don't have to use this girl. You could get somebody else. Somebody just is good She's not right for it. She's not right for it. A girl could denies her identity Who shrieks of drug drinks persecution She is ideal The police will accept her as a suicide without giving it a second thought Yes, yes, if they knew she was really insane, but she isn't don't you see she isn't She isn't Just ask those people at this tea shop and that foolish mrs. James. She will tell you She will tell the whole neighborhood Mrs. James a few neighborhood gossips. They aren't enough. You have to have someone professional and authority Listen to me Our note to british intelligence will divert them for just five days Within that time julia ross must commit suicide and we will see that she does No No, I won't I won't go through with it I tell you I see What a pity it would be if the police learned who was the last person seen with the first schiller cambell You wouldn't You wouldn't turn me over this espionage call. It's a very demanding trade The note please Thank you Thank you, dear. I knew it was an oversight Yes, sir, could you tell me if mr. Craball lives here, miss Why yes, this is her home, but She's rather busy upstairs, however Yes, and Rita How do you do mr.

Yes, doctor. The matter of miss cambell's protection Her protection. Yes from herself You undoubtedly are not aware of it, but uh her type is often inclined toward suicide How dreadful in case those tendencies Should become apparent naturally.

Yes, the one supposedly signed by Sheila Campbell telling us she was off to Dublin, Ireland Oh, yes I would communicate with this in five days Aunt Rita, she made me do that too Ah, that was an inexcusable mistake, Carl. You see, Sheila would never have written Dublin, Ireland Oh, an Irishman assumes that everybody knows where Dublin is Uh, how about that, Miss Ross? Am I right? Well, I know where it is all right And I'm going back there as fast as I can Now, Julia, London isn't as bad as all that, you know Maybe not. I suppose it all depends upon the murderers, you know Why, Charles, you wouldn't want to meet a nicer lad than Carl here After all, it isn't everybody who pitches out through a bedroom window just to save your life Yes, he's really a very nice boy Sergeant, better take him down to the cellar now and have him show you where he buried Sheila Campbell Oh, no, she made you do that too A woman of character, Miss Craball I'm sure you'll miss her very much Huh?
