Barry have a voice that I can only describe as professionally trained where did you people last work our last engagement was at the Queens Theatre Dulwich two years ago they liked is fine too but the manager absconded Peabody how how could you ever have hired people like this I may as well tell you mr. Graham I am one of them that pack of buffoons all of you a troupe of actors sir down on the luck who were forced to take other jobs not in my house I shall give you a month's pay oh no please we've never been sacked yet we're the ones who give notice and that's what we're doing now we leave here first thing in the morning splendid and it will not be necessary you to say goodbye to my son you've already corrupted him sufficiently corrupted him why we've given him the best time he's ever had here poor kid if we're at all sorry to go it's because we have to him behind in this cold and unfriendly house I have suffered enough from your impotence tonight this is ballet my affairs are no concern of yours except those regards that boy and I'd be a four thing indeed if I didn't speak up for him a kid starving for kindness and affection and what do you give him coldness impatience and bad temper how dare you talk like this to me because we're not servant and master anymore and because it needs to be said you're making an enemy out of your son mr. Graham and someday you're going to regret it well glad I got that off my chest but leave the pack until morning it's been quite a day they're doing Romeo and Juliet the Old Vic I wonder if they'd have anything for me well I can't go back on the stage because all my clothes were designed for domestic service they can't continue a domestic service because all my references point to the fact that I was on the stage I can't even throw myself in the Thames because I happen to be an extraordinarily good swimmer was like cutting butter with a hot knife cooking on this range animals wonderful flu never mind oh girl you do just as well over a spirit lamp in a furnished room that's how we've done it for the last 30 years we never minded a bit this has been the shortest engagement we've ever played hasn't it never mind we'll manage who is it come in I'm very sorry about last night father it was awfully rude of me I want to apologize it's quite all right I wish you wouldn't blame the staff I started by pretending to be you so they'd be startled if I make myself clear and that sort of got them into the spirit of it that's enough I suppose since they're actors did they tell you isn't it wonderful I hadn't looked at it in quite that light like being in the theatre all the time having them around mrs. Barry put on a bit of a show for me after you left she did she's very good didn't she find I found a quite convincing then you're not angry father no thank you will he be ready for breakfast soon no probably won't be in it they gave notice last night why thought limit is the way I treat you it isn't true Jimmy that I dislike you you know no sense I'm the country you're my only child I should be a very unnatural fall if I didn't try didn't feel a very definite regard for you you believe that don't you and I should be extremely unhappy if I thought that you disliked me I don't Father I understand what I understand the way you feel sir about me what way is that I realize that I keep reminding you of mother I know that you loved it very much in it she was a very saintly woman I understand how my presence here keeps bringing back the memory of your loss there isn't a word of truth in it what whatever difficulties been between us has been due entirely to my coldness my impatience my temper as you know I have a very bad temper but I should try to control it thereafter no I don't think you anything Ella I'm shocked at you all I'm abusive if my infernal a bad disposition manifested so well I think it's just as much my fault as hi hold it Oh Emmet be finish okay I did it again you're laughing yes yes I love me come help me dress we'll go down to have breakfast together good morning relaxed is discipline hasn't he always used to insist on the maids wearing proper uniforms don't tell me he's grown soft in his old age is there something I can do for you you not very likely oh I hate this place it always was the most expensively furnished more Salima nor London who are you please the prodigal come back for her bit of the fetid calf tell your employer he has a visitor an old friend I think he's still asleep wake him up don't stand there gaping woman Georgia told its mrs.

Graham better than I do you should know that you'll never pay hush money there are one or two newspapers in this country that pay very well for feature stories you can take his choice I need this money and I intend to get it one way or another will you let me give him your message you're afraid the kid will come back and find out about me is that it well you can tell him not particularly anxious to see either album I seem to be lacking in white flea and maternal feeling you think I'm very hard don't you yes mrs.
