we couldn't leave you alone not after what happened it was an isolated incident yes well there's no point of going over all ground absolutely well I'll see you in two weeks then don't be surprised if I'm still sitting here then you'd be a damn fool places like this are bloody nice places like this are the equivalent of a kennel when you go on holiday pets go into kennels and elderly relatives go into places like this you could have a very pleasant two weeks here if you weren't so determined to be miserable I do not enjoy being surrounded by old people Mr kedy I'm Miss Glo resident physiotherapist and general dogs body and I always make it a point of greeting our guests and explaining the room well really have your guests so little experience of rooms what is their natural habitat the serenete the Arctic tundra my father's a little unhappy at being dumped at least that's how he sees it that's exactly how it is Arthur I don't mind accepting that fact but I do object to your dressing it up as a little treat for the old man oh Christ um you'll see there are a number of push buttons here by the bed there is a fairly clear guide as to what they all do but some of our residents find it a little daunting at first you can actually turn off the TV and the lights without ever getting out of bed and if there's a problem in the night or indeed during the day there is a fully trained nurse on Duty around the clock this red button here will bring her to your bedside immediately I'm throbbing with excitement already here's a real treat something you approve of at last rubber Anders sheets I really don't think that's necessary in my father's case well of course we can easily remove them I wouldn't dream of it after 70 years of self-imposed discipline I can let my bladder run right so is he going to settle in just drive almost finished likes and dislikes I like privacy and I dislike person personal questions I was talking about food some of our guests are on medication and have to be careful of their diet I don't like sloppy ball eggs anything else porridge I hate porridge what else do you hate I've told you porridge and sloppy boiled eggs all right is there anything you will eat but would rather not lots of things such as well I can't tell you that now loads of things well what Springs immediately to mine know anything all right then dog sorry I'd rather not eat dog but if somebody gave me a million pounds then I probably would very well I'll leave you to get your bearings thank you Mr comedy this is not a prison and though you may not believe it we actually have guest guests who keep coming back year after year tea is served in the main Lounge at 4:00 pork I beg your pardon I've suddenly remembered I will eat pork but I'd prefer not to

sorry I forgotten your name Miss Glo Miss Glo I'd be very grateful if nothing was said about my little jaunt this afternoon oh you don't have to worry our staff are very discreet but given the age of

Tuesday it's really male speakers were short of what about you Mr Prager you couldn't print my experiences let alone speak about them I really meant work experience those you wouldn't be interested in I'm sure you're just being modest for 40 years I was the biggest manufacturer of elastic in the East End well that's fascinating what elastic keeps up may be fascinating but the stuff itself is dull it stretches it shrinks what more is there to say what about you Mr kedy no out of the question I'm sorry well do give it some thought won't you enjoy your breakfast excuse me awfully sorry thank you so much will you be with us for Christmas Mr comedy I sincerely hope not oh but it's very nice here especially at Christmas yes I'm sure don't have the bacon a big good one better you should chew my

do you know his music no but I saw him conduct once oh vau Williams Oh really yes a big man he wore a crumpled suit I mean the real conductor was in the full Dicky of course but VOR Williams came out

comfortable haven't you got an anorak or something less formal but this is a perfectly good Overcoat what do you wear when you're relaxing do you play golf now you Garden a little what do you wear then my old suits you don't then what possible Advantage would there be in my line to you you wear your tires well hello TI while you gardening around my waist instead of my belt what else do you do to pass the time well I I read I keep a breast of the international situation in your suit in my suit yes well at least you don't have to wear your tie now a man in a suit without a tie looks like an alcoholic do you go to bed in your suit that would be ridiculous perhaps you wear your tongue tired to keep up your pajamas I see no purpose in continuing this conversation As You [Music] Wish St Michael's Mount where the ancient Greeks traded for gold copper and Tin with the Celtic tribes of Cornwell and Ireland for those of you undeterred by steps we shall be visiting the battlements on top at the conclusion of the tour so if you'd like to follow me please keep close together I don't want to have to [Applause] shout we're visiting the battlements later on Mr kedy and we all have to stick together are you hearing this Mr comedy yes yes thank you you really don't have to shout you know he's quite cured well that's what we thought Mrs palmer but last night when he returned to the table he had to relapse did he yes well look I I I've been given drops by the local doctor and they're quite miraculous oh that's wonderful news I'm assured the condition will not recur well quite Frank L I believe you owe this to miss Dean Miss Dean well I know she'd be most upset if she knew I was telling you but she's been praying for you how very kind never underestimate the power of prayer Mr con I wouldn't dream of [Applause] it according to ancient legend the mount is dedicated to the Archangel Michael who appeared before some fishermen in the year 495 it then became the hallowed place of countless Celtic Saints it is also connected with the Romantic Legend of Tristan and isala the hermit augin was sent here by King Mark to buy for Queen isala her wedding gift of finest silk the present Castle is built on the foundations of a Benedictine prior built by the monks of the Abbey of you sat on the bus with Mrs Palmer yes very beautiful woman striking don't you agree I really hadn't noticed oh come now Mr KY don't pretend you haven't got her in your sides what are you talking about you and I have the European approach to women I'm not European I'm British we are both Hunters it wouldn't do for us to stalk the same duck get in each other's way and then go home empty-handed how dare you say say the word and I will not pursue her pursue her you ridiculous little man then you are interested interested I'm I'm outraged for why for one thing it's no concern of yours whether I'm interested or not you have my word Mr Cary I will not trespass there are other ducks in the pond that I find equally offensive likening Mrs Palmer to some kind of water foul you misund understand I am being poetic poetic you haven't got a put take bone in your body what's the matter now you've a face like thunder I doubt you want to hear I wouldn't have asked that wretched Prager man had the tarity to suggest that he and I were competing for your affections are you certainly not and if I given any impression to the contrary then I apologize just you think Mr Prager will make a play for me he undoubtedly intends to cool how could you accept such a thing oh poor Mr Ked you don't have much fun do you fun well life is essentially ridiculous once you understand that you can start to enjoy yourself now come on have you got it all in most of it what I press this red thing yeah shall I take one with you in it only if you want to break the camera Mr kedy what you made a joke I make jokes all the time really all the time well you must Point them out to me they're obviously far too clever ah this is the most romantic Coastline King Arthur Merlin and my particular favorites Dustin and dealer I thought they were German oh no no no they were both true Kelts she was from Ireland he was Cornish oh oh look what daisies yeah but it's December Mr kedy daisies in December don't you find that strange fa so it's so M I've forgotten what month it was Mr comedy you took your tie off Allelujah oh no don't hide it it makes you look py could we sit down for a bit have you been alone since your wife died for a while but then circumstances made me move in with my son and his family no that's not what I meant uh I mean have you met someone else in my age what's wrong with your age if you have to ask that look what a fool Mr Prager makes to himself setting his sights on you as though you're a duck I'm flattered don't be absurd that ridiculous little squirt he's probably wonderful in bed I really think it's time we went back to join the others all right ah what's wrong nothing I got up too quickly it'll pass should I get help just give me a moment there you see all better take my arm thank you [Music] h he was a little coarse perhaps but very informative will you be joining us in the lounge Mrs Palmer the locals are giving a recital of Gilbert and sullon oh I think not the Sea Air has quite exhausted me sounds like they're off already save me a chair by the front I must powder my nose coffee in the lounge Mr Prager I cannot imagine anything more pleasure giving I see the duck season is in full swing you you don't fancy govern Sal another time perhaps you know I I I rather enjoyed our conversation this afternoon so did I well I was just wondering if you'd care to continue it so to speak go for dinner tomorrow evening Mr kedy are you asking me out well it's difficult to get a word in edgeways when Mrs what's her name starts talking oh I I'm not setting my sights on you or anything just to been nice to have a quiet dinner for a church you do realize that if neither of us turn up table four will be a hot bed of gossip and supposition I got table for oh I'm so sorry no no it's all all right buer table for hello is that Derek's cabs Derek's speaking who's this I'm the chap who got lost oh yeah but what's happened now I'm looking for a restaurant don't tell me you've wandered off in the middle of lunch it's for this evening I want good food a decent wine seller and not too many stairs do you mind French well not if the food's good Leong to do you want me to make the reservation you wouldn't be getting a commission would you oh you've got such a Suspicious Mind all right make the reservation and call for us at 7 what's the name of your hotel again that's again the castle are you reading that off something no or you getting better then bye [Music] [Music] Mr kedy you've gone too far why haven't have I well I feel quite dowy in comparison you look absolutely radiant wish should should I go and change oh no don't you dare I'll get my purse we we could always leave separately if you're worried about the gossip I didn't dress up like this to be anonymous ly bloody Dar thank you I don't wear this hat for everyone you know I'm sure everyone is very grateful this is the 89 is it I mean I seem to remember it being a little D than the that's fine then you to the loveliest woman in the room thank you Mr comedy I do wish you go me Gerald all right I'm Katherine yes I know I sneaked to look at the hotel register did you know was all that genuine of course only my husband used to make a great production of sniffing the cork swelling it around gargling oh I I didn't mean to imply that you were as phony as he was was he well not in every Department I don't mean to pry oh it's all right women found him very attractive and he invariably found them irresistible I see I put up with the excuses and the lies for as long as I could there were no children but a marriage is a marriage oh God this is so strange what well I've never told anybody about this before and Mr kedy was the most unlikely confido my God I'm so sorry you don't have to apologize Let's Dance Dance well I don't dance everybody dances Katherine I do not dance I have never danced Gerald I'm standing here and if you don't join me shortly I'll grab the first waiter that comes around if only to save face but I haven't danced in years then I was Dreadful I'll be the judge of [Music] that hand here the other one here [Music] now try not to fall over I'm not as bad as that Katherine why do you enjoy making a fool of me so much you're not a fool besides who's watching if anyone were they'd think lucky man that a gorgeous woman like me should Shuffle around the floor with such a terrible dancer then why do you make me do it because it gives you an excuse to hold me and suddenly I want to be held very badly [Music] you know with a bit of practice you could be a very good dancer I don't think Freda St need wor it was a lovely evening Gerald do you have any outings plan for tomorrow I thought I'd do a little exploring locally well I'd be only too happy to show you around you know the district like the back of my hand been down to the Sea front the shopping center around all the hotels all right you can give me a guided tour after lunch after lunch all right sounds like your phone yes it does good night Fred good night Ginger yes Grandad is Steven Steven how are you great news Mom and Dad have been buried by an avalanche you can come out with us now you want you to fly out shut up B rat what say oh dad says he can make the arrangements look Stephen it's it's it's very good of you but I look let me talk to you father hello Dad are you going to join us Arthur look I really am very touched that you you should want me but I can't possibly leave here at such short notice what are you all right have you met anyone interesting oh no no they're all deadly dull but the the place itself has distinct possibilities I mean they organize all sorts of outings and there's a fairly decent shopping center not too far away but nothing very exciting and I still have my reservations about being forced to mix with people I don't really know and on the other hand there's always a chance that you might meet a kindred spirit well not that I have you understand but the possibility exists I mean that's the important thing yeah and the town itself is really quite pretty it's a decent enough sea front all the usual attractions now believe me Arthur I really appreciate that you and the boys have gone to so much trouble but whatever else I am I am a stayer oh just grit my teeth and WEA it AR no matter how Grim it [Music] gets Catherine yes you don't know where the TV lounges do I haven't looked for it well I just happen

drastic isn't it what a friend recommended for stomach crabs isn't it a appropriate where did your friend hear about it I think he was prescribed it ah well I don't want to alarm you but I think your

right what is it when my son signed me in here he must have filled in some sort of form concerning me you want to see it no I'm talking about as his p I'm sorry information about other guests is strictly confidential you must understand that yes of course of course I I do understand but these are exceptional circumstances in what way she left these in my room last night she said it was

wouldn't be a mystery would [Music] [Music] it all right what are we looking for you haven't read your guide book very care somewhere out there in that bay your hero trist fell in love with his Z now according to this he was sent to Ireland by his cousin King Mark to bring his odor back here to be the king's bride but on the voyage back they fell in love I know they drank a love potion by mistake oh well don't you find that romantic well I suppose so but if it was a magic potion then it was out of their hands what about lesser Mortals like you and me and how can we be sure that it's low might be something more explicable like see not ADV venture oh Sun's almost gone well it is December after all don't that the days is folly you know I think it wasn't some magic potion that made them fall in love I think it was the sea voyage what are those listen Catherine I've managed to book the last two cabins on a Christmas Cruise of the Bahamas we fly to Florida on the 22nd and sail off on Christmas Eve you've gone mad it's the sanest thing I've done in years I can't accept this it's entirely selfish I assure you Gerald no no listen Catherine listen I'm 73 years old it's over half a century since I last fell in love even then I wasn't absolutely sure because I got nothing to compare it with you don't understand please let let me finish I don't know much about ecstasy or great Passion or or the stuff of Legend but if being in love means not being able to get you out of my mind wanting to be with you for every second of every day then I am in love with you there's no doubt about it I'm sorry you know nothing about me I know enough I've spent the most wonderful few days with you I wanted to go [Music] on you have to give me time to think of course it must have cost you a fortune if it means spending time alone with you it's cheap at any price can you get your money back if I can't go of course I'm no fool they told me that if I called them by 5:00 this afternoon I'd get a full refund oh damn it's 5 p they love [Music] you first you must understand the decision isn't entirely up to me you I've been ill recently and wouldn't be fair to say anything without checking with my doctor the Caribbean come on he's bound to say yes oh Gerald it would be wonderful Christmas in the Bahamas oh dear excuse me Mr kedy uh Miss Glo passed on your apologies oh that's all right no that's not what I mean she explained the whole situation and I'm the one who should apologize it's not necessary I should have known as soon as you mentioned Chlor Dexter fenerol please please keep your voice down oh Lord yes that's her room opposite isn't it such a lovely woman and such a brave fight yes yes thank you you know it doesn't make any difference difference of course it makes a difference Gerald I have cancer but you're on medication and it's working isn't it at the moment but it's like a pendulum any day it can swing the other way but it may not look we must take each day as it comes look it's it's just a cruise Catherine you and I know it's more than that and you wouldn't have suggested it if you hadn't found out out I don't pity you Catherine I love you listen Gerald the treatment seems to be working yes but if it doesn't my specialist has been wonderfully informative about the days I have coming to me and uh I wouldn't want to share them with anyone especially someone is loving and as kind Catherine Catherine [Music] Mr kedy yes are you fit I looked for you at breakfast to lunch but you've been keeping to your room we're expecting quite a turnout you're not going to let me down I hope I'll be there main Lounge 10 minutes all right 10 minutes was the trip down yes we make straight over bom and more oh Mr comedy this is my nephew John hello Mr kedy and I have been on a number of outings together what's happening uh John came to pick me up a day early why I'm afraid my conference was an absolute wash out frankly I wasn't willing to waste the time I thought you were here until the weekend I'm not I'm not upsetting anyone's plans am I no of course not Mr kedy understands you can't you can't Gerald please look I I don't mean to interfere but I think my aunt wants to be left to learn to pack well why don't we go and have a drink why don't you mind your own business why don't I I'll wait in the lobby shall I no no need for that I could do with your help actually I know why Mr kedy is so upset he's giving a talk on stocks and shares to the guests and uh he was rather anxious that I should be there I'm sure we have time to listen to a bit of it any minute now isn't it so you're an expert on stocks and shares it was my profession I'm in Securities same but different what's this plon what my pong tap to complete your musical education it's uh after 2:30 well we'll just finish packing and then we'll be right down I'm not sure we'll be able to stay for all of it but I could certainly do with a few tips we'll say goodbye now have a wonderful Christmas Gerald and thank you for everything you tried to do for me right well check the bathroom well see you down there [Music] m all right who has the first question yes mine my mother invested heavily in war bonds they yield a pittance um should I sell them and invest in something with a more profitable payout Mr comedy yeah your mother didn't buy them for profit Miss Dean she bought them to help the country they're what you call Perpetual bonds they're more an Act of Faith than an invest but supposing I wanted to sell them there's very little market for them I'm afraid I mean they'll keep paying out your children and your children's children but I don't have any children well thank you Miss Dean and who's next Mrs carmichel I've been advised that my portfolio contains too many blue chip stocks consequently I should add a few high risk Ventures my question is how high is high risk recently I I was told I I shouldn't gamble on a highrisk investment but sometimes even in business a man must take a risk because it gives his life purpose again I mean others the the bright boys may say forget it there's no future in it but there's no use in telling him that because there's no future without it either they're talking to a man who's found a reason to believe in himself again you must follow it through despite the risk despite the possible heartache because that too is part of the bargain part of the commitment there's every chance it may work but even if it doesn't he will be happy to invest whatever he has for as long as it takes CU he knows the joys are [Music] Everlasting yes well that seems to be a very full answer wouldn't you agree Mrs carmichel yes well perhaps I better be more specific you see my stock broker went out of business some time ago but on his recommendation ex how very rude [Music] [Applause] l [Music] [Music]
