you're surprised that he behaves like one goodbye Henry I shallan forget what you've done for me are so unkind to him and the Poor Boys in such diffic difficulty entirely through his own fault I sometimes think he's the only person in the world who still cares for me me he was saying such sweet things to me before you came in here's the check Henry oh how can you I'm sorry my dear no is this

I'm Ill because of this must we go through all this again you can't bear to be near me that's why you won't come to matchlock with me but myar I've told you I'm too busy too busy you're no more busy than Robert is and Robert's just over to take me in his car but you can't go by car it's much too tiring it isn't a question of being tired it's a question of being with someone who cares for you you mean who cares for your money well I don't care if he does at least he doesn't wish I were dead which is what you do em please but it's true you can't deny it you do wish I were dead oh I certainly shall if you go on much longer like this oh I'm sorry no no come in and listen he's just said it in so many words he wishes I were dead where are you going he's forgotten Janet's birthday presents go after him will fr the complete set and so beautifully bound hello General look father oh thank you hungry I'm so happy you like it I can't make it a tail of it show me the thing Emily gave you isn't it lovely they've spoiled me I don't deserve it you deserve everything you get that's a fact Maria spending your life looking after a wretched old Croc like me Father please sacrificing yourself when you ought to get married I'm not worth it I ought to be dead making everybody's life a burden now this girl of ours is going to leave us oh don't worry about it father it'll be all right very pretty what news of Emily that's that's what I came to talk to you about will you do us both a charity and come to lunch with us tomorrow I'd love to but why is it a charity blessed are the peacemakers and we are in need of a peacemaker oh what's it all about the usual thing what women father in this case it happens to have been something else all right take me out it's time to go and feed the dogs I began it I'm afraid by objecting to her brother that made Emily object to me violently after which we both lost our tempers utterly senseless of course but then such his life unfortunately it needn't be no I suppose not if I were a little less impatient and Emily could be more understanding then each of us would be somebody else and would live happily ever after meanwhile you'd think that a woman who's been married for the best part of 20 years would come to share her husband's tastes wouldn't you why yes of course well the first time I show emulate a modern painting she said it made her feel sick that was when we were engaged now the last time I showed her one which was about 3 days ago it still made her feel sick that's what you call intellectual companionship luckily there is somebody who understands what I'm talking about I'm thinking of the first time I saw a modern painting when was that when was that do you have to remember a young woman who came back from India just before the war oh yes a very charming and beautiful young woman that's neither here nor there the point is that she was an ignorant Little Fool and you were very kind to her you opened a door and there were all the things she'd only heard about painting poetry music it was like a revelation like a conversion dear Janet h I wish Emily could have a conversion but I'm afraid it's not very likely well I'll expect you tomorrow you're not going already H duty duty Stern daughter of the voice of God I have to drive to Windsor and get Emily's latest prescription made up that's typical of you Henry you always joke about duty but you go on doing it do I well I must confess I had noticed it I must say goodbye where's your car at a gate I come with H you'll do no such thing I would dream of it ad so what's that for for your thoughts they're worth more than that all right I'll give you six P when you come for lunch tomorrow is that a bargain goodbye we'll go to the chemists first yes sir why have you been so long couldn't help it dying I had to give janeta present so both she must be awfully old Isn't She from your point of view she practically has one foot in grave now from my point of you she's a handsome young woman of 35 as a matter of fact she used to be really beautiful 10 years ago I suppose you flirted with her of course I did do you still flirt with her only in the most spiritual way Henry I sometimes hate you luckily you have your own inimitable way of showing it I know you don't really love me but I don't care care I can love you enough for two if I didn't love you i' think you were horrible same to you my sweet and many of them couldn't we have dinner together I can't I'm ding home tonight at home but that doesn't count oh I see my wife is to be abolished so I can take you out to dinner Charming child I think you're hored good then I shall have to ask you tomorrow night Henry do you mean it he's got no right to treat Robert like that no right at all but my dear you must admit that Robert's a bit well irresponsible well at least Robert's got a good heart Henry never thinks of anybody but himself you're being unjust to him Emily you haven't been married to him for 18 years if that's how you feel I'm surprised you haven't left him and see him clotting off with another woman no thank you but if it would make him happy that's the best possible reason for not doing it hily I don't know how you can be so unforgiving why don't you let him go do it for your own sake for my sake it isn't good for you to feel so bitter and revengeful no wonder you're ill rubbish but it's true people die of those feelings or else they live on them shall I tell you the only reason why I'm still alive because h would be so happy if I died do you really mean that Emily of course I do you're early aren't you it's my afternoon out and by the way you don't mind if I'm a little bit late getting back this evening do you my sister's G giving a party peas I'm so

love you so much oh darling thank you Dar you make me feel almost ashamed Robert was right about one thing though we need some champagne with our dinner after all who tells you the world is not coming to an end this evening let's assume we have only 6 hours before the last Trump SE ours to make the best [Music] of good night MCN Leber is my wife ill they tried to reach you Mr Johnson's but uh there was no news of you there oh no uh I was detained um I had a breakdown your wife kept asking for you I'll go up to her at once I I'm afraid it's too late too late yes I suppose she's asleep Mrs marier passed away about 4 hours ago you you mean she she's dead unfortunately I was not there when they called me I arrived when it was all over the only person who was with her was Janet Spence Janet yes the servant sent for her there was a violent attack of nor in the late afternoon and that is what knocked out the heart she must have eaten something that disagreed with her at lunch I suppose so oh excuse me I I saw the lights and I wondered if it could there anything wrong nothing except that Mrs M is dead what do you mean she died of heart failure while you were out and it was because you let her have those currents you remember I want you at the time but you wanted to have your own way didn't you is this true n well but she like them so but you know how strongly I've always insisted on a bland di well I nevered a few car no you didn't think that they would kill her but they did please Mario this is a professional matter we don't want any rhetoric injected into it you better go to your room now nurse I'll talk to you [Applause] tomorrow and let us stick to facts Mar it may have been the current or it may not all we know is that something upset her that she had a heart attack can I can I go up to a room I'll wait for you here [Music] [Music] I've been nursing for 20 years and this is the first time anyone's ever had anything against me you mustn't take it so hard oh he's trying to ruin me Miss Janet I'll never get another job nonsense I couldn't wish for a better nurse for my father that's very kind of you mis did you know our nurse is leaving yes I had heard [Music] I admit she's a good nurse I'm the first to admit it but nurse bradock had no business to go against my instructions I think I can tell you the reason she wanted to spite Henry to spite him what for she didn't like him that's all just because he belongs to the male sex I suppose some of them get like that Jenny I'm so thankful you were with Emily at the end yes I I think it helped her Henry try not to feel too bitterly about that poor nurse she didn't mean any harm I know H's paved with good intentions she'll be out of the house tomorrow I'm going to get her to come and look after my father well I don't have you I think it's a good idea I can keep in touch with her and rub in the lesson from time to time tell me about poor Emily did she suffer [Music] much just it's been too much for you it was terrible it was so terrible I've never seen anyone die before I didn't [Music] realize I'm sorry Henry I oughtn't to let myself go like this I I can't keep the memory away I suddenly see her struggling for breath with that awful look of fear and pain on her face shall I take you home no no thanks Henry I've got my car you stay here with Dr liid good night good night [Music] Janet there's nothing to say of course just platitudes that don't mean anything one talks in one Universe one dies and suffers in another I found that out when Margaret died you two were very close weren't you you were married nearly 30 years 30 years and yet it isn't the time that counts it's what you feel what you are remember Emily as she was then Margaret used to say you look like the princess in the fairy tale should I tell you where I was this evening it seems sufficiently obvious suppose you think I'm pretty contemptible don't you I never thought of that but I feel extremely sorry for you sometimes being born with a lot of money it's no joke he knows it's Dre work having to earn a living but at least it gives a certain purpose and direction to one's life whereas a rich man man without a job or a family to support he can afford to live discontinuously if you see what I mean without any purpose but his own tastes and appetites in other words he can afford not to be a real human being do you think I'm capable of changing at this moment yes but it's easy to be heroic times of Crisis what's difficult is to behave even moderately well at ordinary times the question is how much will you want to change a month from now am I as weak as all that I simply don't know wouldn't surprise me if you were wouldn't surprise me if you weren't at 56 I've stopped being surprised at anything well I must go to bed I've got a heavy day tomorrow [Music] be careful I am being careful huh it's a speaking likeness I'd recognize it a mile off I'll give you such a smack in the face for that good afternoon Miss what is going on where's Mr Mario didn't you know Miss he's gone he's gone to Cornwall how very odd he didn't say anything to me about it he only made up his mind yesterday all of a sudden clar says to me I need a change so I says to him did he say we he be back no but we're having the whole house repainted you know how long that takes and anyhow cook and Maisy and me have got three weeks off from Tomorrow lucky beggers wish I can have three weeks off come on J what a sky this isn't it wonderful but you're not looking at it no I'm not for stop it I hate it when you talk French I'm afraid you'll have to learn to put up with it for better for worse in English and in French till death to us part darling how much do you love me how much let's see I would say about 17 times as much as I love English cooking no this isn't a joke you're perfectly right English cooking is a tragedy that's why I was starting for Paris tomorrow Paris do you mean it unfortunately I've got to pick up some papers on the way up to London you mean at your house good then I'll have a chance of seeing what it looks like no no you won't you're going to wait for me at your Aunt Nelly's I don't want anybody I know to see us together not until we are back from abroad you know as well as I do how they talk but the servants are away you told me so yourself I know but the house is full of painters not on a Saturday afternoon tomorrow is Saturday please let me come and have a peit please all right all right thank you D don't thank me thank yourself woman's will Heaven's will you know I can't help feeling rather nervous what about about meeting your friends but being Mrs Henry marier sometimes I wish we could keep it a secret forever that would be romantic wouldn't it you see I left school when I was 16 so I don't really know anything and look at the sort of people you go out to dinner with judges and Admirals authors and then me in the middle of them what do you expect me to do don't do anything just be that's good enough but after all I'll have to say something what on Earth shall I say well uh ask them what they think about the Einstein kind Theory Henry you're a beast you might at least pretend to talk to me seriously After all you've talked seriously to other women which other women Miss Spence for example you're serious with her aren't you oh am I not L precisely why I married you not her which shows that there is something more in marriage than in ability to make polite conversation oh [Music] Janet last these Spains well what a pleasant surprise I thought you were in Cornwall I had to go to town unexpectedly so I took the opportunity to do a little burgary on the way without letting us know you'd be here I'm just driving through how did you know I was here I saw the light oh and here you are well I'm delighted now let's see this seems to be comparatively free of paint sit down W you may I I won't stay long well I'm glad you came Janet as a matter of fact it will save me writing a letter what's this open it and see but Henry it's Emily's bracelet and Emily would want you to wear it me I don't know anyone who has as much right to it as you do oh no Henry I I don't deserve it here take it but jenet she loved you she'd want you to have something that will always remind you of her no I I can't Janet I shall be offended if you don't take it offended do you want me to have it of course I want you to have it I just felt it was too much it's not nearly enough it's really very beautiful do you mind if I finish off this little job while we talking of course not how did you like corn oh beautiful I love thunderstorms don't you frankly I don't I was a man killed by lightning just a few feet away from [Music] me goodness this is like the Overture from William [Music] tail I knew this would happen heav knows where they keep the candles now don't just [Music] spiling look at the Tre riding and struggling as if they were trying to get free but they can't they can't they're tied down 1 2 3 4 less than a mile away L water Rel what a Liberation like someone that's had to keep everything locked up inside herself and then suddenly she can let go you must have known what that's like Henry not what what like poor Henry you haven't had much happiness in your life oh I've done pretty well all things considered Health money books call how I hit this you're quite right Janet I'm far from being happy at this moment you can make a joke of it but I know what you've been through the isolation the spiritual loneliness [Music] right overhead it's wonderful it's like it's like passion now now jny you've been reading to many Noels passion passion you know what I mean loving so much or hating so much that at last it breaks out in spite of yourself like lightning and like a thunderbold like the wind and the rain in whooe to the man who comes out without his umbrella you know that always makes me think of Benjamin Franklin sending his ridiculous little g into the middle of an electrical compulsion heaven knows why he wasn't killed he certainly asked for it Henry we free now we need pretend any longer I don't quite understand I tried to hide but you must always have known just as I've always known about you me of course I knew what you fa and I knew you'd never admit it out of a sense of honor and Duty I respected you for that even though I suffered from it we don't have to think of anyone but ourselves now Janet really you don't understand we can't we must forgive me Henry please forgive me my dear don't let us say anything more about it your nails are on age it's it's a thunder I ought to have known how you feel about it it's still too recent too painful poor Emily Emily that face I thought I'd put it out of my mind so frightened so horribly frightened and I talked about about us no wonder it upset you can you forgive me [Music] listen Janet I think I ought to tell you uh while I was away in Cornwall what happened while you were in [Music] Cornwall well to cut a long story short I got married you got married yes it's someone you don't know as a matter of fact I've only known her for a few months but I'm sure you like her when you meet her of course she she is rather young only about 18 as a matter of fact quite a baby 18 yes it's absurd so you see she has plenty of time to learn what you laughing her oh nothing in particular Janet we're still fine aren't we of course we are better than ever nothing like a good joke to bring people together a joke you didn't think I was serious did you no no of course not well I must be getting home I'll take you into [Music] car you should see the roads I almost had to swim back from a Nell's oh uh Daris this is Miss Spence you've often heard me talk about her how do you do how' you do Mrs Mar you know it sounds too ridiculous for an old woman like me to be calling you that do you mind if I call you Doris I'd love it and you must call me Janet yes Miss bence I I mean Janet isn't she adorable but I I'll get my code tell me darus are you very very happy yes I I think so you only think so no no I don't mean that I'm sorry let's talk about something else if it upsets you but I am happy really and truly it's just that well I'm not very clever and Henry seems to know everything you know about art and things art and things oh you Sweet Child well here we are I shall be long Dear Henry please let me go with you no no you stay here and change your shoes but I don't want to what's the matter you afraid of the dog no afraid of something else can't you feel it Henry you must be very insensitive feel what she's still here isn't she darus all right come on let's go to the car well well well married eh sensible fellow High time this girl got married too you give her talking to Maran I'll do my best well where is she take off that ridiculous hat that's better it's your mother when we were first engaged the living image of her turn around yes definitely so remember the picture of her in the writing habit that's a thing she was wearing when I saw her first don't you ever write anything but a habit by him women aren't the right shape for Bridges where is no riding haveit well men could still have illusions what's life without Illusions nasty solitary brutish and short women's legs is shorter even than life let's see you without That Hideous Macintosh what a Charming brooch Henry gave it to me well we really have to run got to be in London tonight and then we're taking the early boat train in the morning goodbye goodbye my dear fellow good night good night good night good night good [Music] night well I'm glad poor Mrs morier wasn't here to see what has happened to her brooch your brooch really I was a fool to think I'd ever get it you don't get diamonds for friendship he told me he'd known the girl for several months that means that even while poor Emily was alive pigs that's what they are every one of them I tell you they've got no shame no decent feelings and now when she's scarcely cold in her grave must have been a great relief to him you mean when she died seeing that he wanted to marry the girl who tells you he didn't have to marry her I'd be ready to bet on it then it was lucky for him when poor Emon died when she did just at the right time just at the right time Miss Spence you don't suppose suppose what why wouldn't he let me give her her medicine will you're not suggest but that's ridiculous that stuff he brought back from the chemists what stuff stuff for killing weeds I happen to look at the label I know what was in it so that's why he made all that fuss about those red currents just to give himself an alibi you're not serious are you I certainly am you're Mass Unthinkable after all I've known him for years he's known a Mr marier the one who talks so nicely about pictures and all that sort of thing but you've never known the one who can't keep his hands off girls he'd do anything I tell you anything listen why did it happen on the day I was out what difference did that make what difference I've seen these cases I'd have recognized the symptoms immediately so what does he do choose as a day when he knows I won't be back until late till it's all over in fact and then he goes out himself on the most likely with that girl of his no he wouldn't do that oh yes he would and when he comes home he turns on me and says I killed her with those red currants Curr indeed after all Dr Liber thought it might have been the currs yes and why because the other one keeps harping on it and so I have to take the blame I'm the scapegoat I'm the one to be crucified well I tell you I'm not going to put up with it any longer and I'm not thinking only of myself it's a matter of principle I want to see Justice done I want the whole world to know that truth you talk as though you knew it yourself I do I'm as certain of it now as I shall be after they've had the postmortem the postmortem yes you know what that is don't you do you mean to speak to Dr libert about it Dr libert no of course not he wouldn't want to admit he'd made a mistake no I know who to go to I know what I have to do it's horrible digging up somebody after they're dead just because they're some spiteful gossip that beastly nurse of yours I can't understand why you keep her now dear don't be unreasonable you know quite well I wanted to send her away but Henry wouldn't hear of it nor would Dr libert sending her away would have meant we took her seriously and that's the last impression we wanted again we were having such a wonderful time in Paris then to be called back for this nonsense and the painter still in the house horrible smell everywhere darling how dreadfully unkind of me I quite forgot to ask you how you've been is everything going as it should well I still feel sick in the morning if that's what you mean and Liber is pleased with you is he he seems to be it must be a strange wonderful feeling you mean to be going to have a baby if you ask my opinion I think it's awful it'll be all right when the baby's actually there but right now I tell you I'd rather have the measles again at least it doesn't last so long will you nurse the baby yourself I don't know I hadn't thought about it I would if I had one I wouldn't feel it would really mine if I didn't when did you expect Henry he ought to be back pretty soon how was he when he went off this morning rather worried I suppose no he was too angry to be worried makes him Furious the way they're treating him then you do not agree with Dr Liar's diagnosis as to the cause of death yes and no I am of the opinion that Dr liard was perfectly correct in stating that death was due to heart failure where I differ from him is in regard to the cause and what was the cause in your opinion Dr dorson arnik sir but that's impossible no interruptions please you'll be given an opportunity of speaking later on Mr merer please go on the Dr Dawson the organs were removed and examined both ranches and marshes tests were used and the presence of poison in considerable quantities was clearly established were the quantities sufficient to constitute a fatal dose unquestionably do you know Mr morier by sight yes sir do you think you could give him this note it's rather important all right sir I'll manage somehow thank you well much oblig sir it was one of your duties was it not to bring Mrs Myer's medicine to her after meals it was did you bring it to her after lunch on the day that she died no I did not I'll wait till she's finished sir then when the next one's called I'll slip in and give it to him take the Testament in your right hand will you repeat the oath I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give the court shall be the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me God so I took the coffee things out into the garden and put them down on the table and what then Mrs Mario says to me my medicine Clara run in and fetch it and did you go no sir why not cuz Mr morio says don't bother Clara I've got to go in and get a cigar anyway thank you you may step down um journ until 2:30 tomorrow the court will adjourn until 2:30 tomorrow afternoon it's too terrible yes it's terrible because it's impossible and yet it's happened it's all my fault I ought to have let you love me I knew we shouldn't have done done it but I cared for you so much darling if they do anything to you I shall kill myself don't talk nonsense why did you do it Henry why did you do it you all seem to take it for granted that I murdered my wife do I look like the sort of man who goes about slaughtering people ringer neck and the devil ticker I suppose you imagine I were so insanely in love with you that I would do anything anything when would you women understand that all when I asks for is a little amusement and a quiet life instead of which I don't know why the devil I ever married you why did any man in his right mind ever marry any woman for that matter Henry oh no marier Liber I've just been sent for to your house what for your maid told me over the phone that your wife had taken poison taken poison fortunately it was nothing more than an overdose of steeping tablers I told them what emergency meices to take so I'm hoping you won't be too serious get [Music] in is it the result of what happened at the inquest yes yes that than other things I got angry because she took it for granted that I have well that I was responsible for what happened to Emily I said a lot of things I shouldn't have said I see libert do you think I did it no I don't then how did it happen one of them tries to kill herself perhaps the other succeeded but why why ask yourself morier if you were a woman would you have been very happy as Mrs Henry marier I'd rather you didn't come up very well well that's that young woman two days in bed and you can do what you want no more of this sort of thing remember what's to prevent me nothing except your own common sense and common decent eh he doesn't love me I don't want to go on living who cares what you want who's interested in your beastly little emotions why not think of somebody else for change I think of Henry all the time no you don't you think of yourself in relation to Henry which is a very different proposition thank you m you may go remember if you wake up in the night with cramps in your intestines don't blame Henry it's your own fault in t there you're quite right Dr liard it was wrong I promise I won't do it again good girl no no I'm not good that's why all this is happening tell me how can I help well in the first place you must believe in him through thick and thin in spite of everything that's the first thing then whatever happens you must be strong and calm no tears no harrowing scenes they're just an Indulgence that's all some women cry as easily as a big grunts they enjoy it very nearly as much so don't do it don't do it and finally remember your going to have a baby that's probably the best thing that ever happened to Henry so for goodness sake don't let make a mess see who's here she all right flourishing and there isn't going to be any more of this sort of nonsense is the Daris I'm so thankful you got here in time yes but it would have been better if there hadn't been a need for me to come

with poor marier wasn't let it prey on your mind too much you know no naturally but well I I mean one can't help feeling dreadfully sorry for him sorry if the light bothers you hold still just one moment mhm you wear these things all the time now I find the light very trying it's been like that ever since I started sleeping badly then of course poor Emily we were very fond of her weren't you oh yes yes I loved her well wouldn't that account for all your trouble grieving over the death of a friend what a death what a death suicide at the best murder at the worst and remember MC be hath murdered sleep murdered it for a lot of other people as well as himself look what I found in the garden this morning give that here can't I give it to him it's just a for cl that's all was against the regulations I don't see any arm in [Music] it you think it's awfully silly don't don't you see to love someone it's the only thing that makes any sense how does libert think you're getting on all

wonderful H will [Music] it of course he [Music] TW sorry ma'am time's [Music] up goodbye Dy [Music] goodbye come [Music] on when driving the car did you ever observe signs of intimacy between the accused and the present Mrs marier yes sir there was considerable embracing silence silence on more than one occasion yes very frequently sir I have no questions to ask this witness mad Caroline bradic Caroline bradock Janu sorry if I frightened you have they called you again no I've been sitting in court with dois do you think I mean how is everything going not too well I'm afraid you mean for Henry yes they're all coming home to roost every one of the Foles he ever committed and goodness knows there were enough of them do you remember in the gospel men and women who were possessed by Devils I sometimes wonder that isn't the only plausible explanation of some things we do things that we know are against our own interests things that are obviously wrong and idiotic and suicidal yet we do them or is it somebody else inside us that makes us do them if it's somebody else then then we wouldn't be responsible would we I think I'd better get back did the accused and the late Mrs marier ever quarrel all the time when did they have their last quarrel on the day before Mrs Mor's death was it violent to judge from what I heard of it it must have been but what did you hear I heard Mr morier say he wished she was dead the day before she died of poisoning remember the deceased wrote as follows Robert darling here with the check Henry tried to prevent you from having he was horrible to me after you were gone he said he wished I was dead I can't see you tomorrow but come the day after and we'll decide definitely about the journey ever your affectionate Emily now did you see your sister again after you received this letter no I didn't she wrote it on Tuesday afternoon I got it on Wednesday morning and on Wednesday evening she died when she was taken ill that night the servant sent for you is that correct yes did you see Mrs marier alive that night yes I was with her till the end was she unconscious at the time you came no she was fully conscious then she was able to speak yes she was able to speak did she say anything about poison no no she didn't seem to realize she'd been poisoned nothing to indicate that the poison was self- administered no nothing now what are the motives for the crime there were two of them among the lowest and most contemptible of all human passions lust and aice his wife is Rich she has made a will in his favor her life is heavily ensured and now to The Lure of money is added the compulsion of another even stronger passion when his wife Falls sick what does this man do does he sit beside her bed to comfort her does he devote himself to alleviating her sufferings no he wanders abroad in search of low and criminal distractions he finds a young and innocent girl he flatters and cajoles her he dazzles her with a display of his wealth and fascinates her by his knowledge of the world true he he denies the fact of his adultery but nevertheless he cannot deny the fact of his infatuation the unhappy invalid at home is unaware of what has happened and yet and yet how terrible for her are the consequences of that infatuation her presence becomes increasingly irksome to him her very existence is a threat to his Pleasures more and more he wishes her out of the way and at last that wish is translated into action the poison is bought here you've been transferred to wesworth wassworth but well but you can't there's the appeal you'll Le about that in plenty of time hold out your hands poor devil vengeance is mine say the Lord I never was so glad of anything in my life but I have some wonderful news for you miss Janet Friday the 24th aren't you pleased you'd better go now brother oh very well but I thought you'd be pleased after all when a criminal gets his desserts that's not when a criminal gets his dessert but is he a criminal I still don't believe it I didn't believe it either but now after everything they brought out at the trial one must believe it must one I've just been reading a very interesting book it's an analysis of well-known cases of people who were condemned for crimes they never committed but they proved it they proved it in these other cases too sometimes it was a matter of deliberate false witness sometimes it was nothing more than circumstantial evidence piled up it all pointed in One Direction the conclusion was obvious and inevitable and yet that conclusion was wrong after all the case is closed now it can never be reopened never so what's the good of talking about it it's just cic I don't want to discuss it anymore they proved it at the trial and that's that not to my satisfaction I just can't believe that Maria was responsible then who was what about Emily herself suicide no Emily would never have committed suicide yet she often complained that she was tired of life I never heard her say that never I did ask bradic if I remember correctly I must say I was very surprised when she said that at the trial I don't know what she said and I don't care M cared carried a great deal of weight with the jury somebody who had been with Emily day and night for the best part of two years and she never heard a whisper of suicide yet suicide was the main line of defense I'm not interested in lines of Defense I'm interested in the truth I'm interested in Justice and if you're trying to insinuate things if you're accusing me of telling lies just because why'd you let me go on why don't you stop me people don't like being stopped as a rule you um you were very fond of poor old Henry weren't you yes I liked him I liked him very much Emily used to say that if she died you and Henry ought to get married married him and and me that's monstrous how dare you I'm only repeating what Emily said talking about me as if I were one of those women of his one of those those it's disgusting and it's cont temptable I'm sorry Dr Liber don't apologize to me I'm not the one who's got insomnia what do you mean getting all worked up about Henry's taste in women it doesn't help you to sleep you know you don't imagine I spend my time thinking about that do you well you were thinking about it just now quite loudly do you ever think about poor Emily of course I do after all she was my best friend and when you do sleep do you ever a dream about her those are the dreams that make me wake up I suppose you dream of her as she was when she was dying yes and sometimes I see her sitting on out there in the garden just as she was drinking that coffee I thought it was the medicine he was supposed to put the poison into yes of course the medicine I meant the medicine I don't know why I said coffee Henry didn't give her the coffee did he I really don't know somebody must have anyhow it's of no importance is it seeing that everything's been proved what quite I wish it were all over all over you seem to think this business is like something in the movies or in a novel you seem to think it has an ending at 8:00 next Friday week to be precise I don't know what you're driving at I'm driving at some way to make you sleep well this has been a very interesting talk Dr liver but whether it's going to cure my insomnia that's another question personally I put more faith in sleeping tablets Janet do you remember meeting a young Dr Fen at my house this spring yes I've known him ever since he was a boy he's a very nice fellow kind sensible conscientious and he's turned out to be a first class psychiatrist no thanks I don't want to go to a psychiatrist you want to get well don't you I'm not ill not that way I know you you're going to tell them I'm mad and then they'll lock me off and torture me until I say things it's a plot everyone's plotting against me nobody's plotting anything that's a lie why you said it yourself you want me to go to a doctor for Mad people if I won't do you any harm he'll just ask you a few questions and find out what's on your mind I've told you again and again I haven't anything on my mind it's just that I can't sleep but he'll help you with that he'll put you to sleep if you let him do you mean he'll hypnotize me well what's so alarming about that send me to sleep and then make me say a lot of things I don't want to say and I Shan even know I've said them no no I won't I won't Janet be reasonable don't touch me Janet I'll kill you do you understand I'm Miss Spence to see you marier H don't mind Us carry on as if we weren't here it's difficult to believe that you are quite real nothing is quite real anymore that clock when one thinks about time draining away like blood from a wound and you can't stop it just goes on quietly flowing until there isn't anymore then you're dead was that a f three yes that was half past 3 4 and 12 makes 16 and 24 40 hours a little more than 40 hours it's like being at the edge of a huge black pit something is pushing you from behind perhaps it would be more bearable if it made some kind of sense if at least one could believe that there is such thing as Justice there is Janet I didn't do it I swear by all that is sacred sacred what is sacred do you remember that night that night when there was a thunderstorm we talked about Benjamin Franklin you know sending up his little kite to attract the lightning a sort of scientific practical joke well sometimes the joke comes off sometimes the lightning comes down the string and then well people get killed get killed and whose fault is it they get killed the of the lightning or the fult of the little man who thought he would be such fun to play tricks with it I don't understand what you mean well don't try just imagine a little group of boys at school what did your father do oh he's a barister and yours he's an engineer and yours my father's dead he died before I was born he died in a place called wsth prison I don't did I ever ask for Mercy did you ever think of showing it never I never said anything when you amused yourself at my expense shanet I didn't do that what else were you doing all those years beckoning me on calling me to you and then at last when I came to you you you hit me across the face and then ran off to have a good laugh for that filthy little beast how dare you say that yes how dare I do what you like but never say that's shocking that's disgusting how old was she Henry when she first started doing these things 18 17 slobbering and pouring and you call it love love filth that's what it was and you threw the filth in my face and then roared with laughter why don't you go on laughing at me laugh laugh this is all part of the same joke don't you understand jet you don't mean 40 hours more that's all and you asked me to lunch on your 80th birthday why don't you laugh goodbye Henry sh it J it sh it sh it sh it she was the one she did it keep quiet but she told me she confessed Janet Janet Janet but she's the murderer she told me but it's true I I swear she's let me go yeah that's better now sit down tell her to come back make your s again in for the witness let me go let me go time passes slowly not for him 8:00 at wwor there but for the grace of God goes James libert there but for the grace of God Goes Janet Spence happily there was the grace of God it's still possible to do it to do what to have the execution postponed why should it be postponed if some entirely new fact were to turn up they proved it the jury thought they proved it but do you of course you know the basic reason why poor Emily was so dreadfully unhappy what was that because she wouldn't accept the facts that she found them she was an invilid she' lost her looks she wanted to be treated as though she were young and pretty what has that got to do with me that is for you to answer I'm only pointing out that it's possible to come to terms even with the most terrible facts old age sickness death yes even with one's own wickedness and Folly those are just words that's all just words but they can always be translated into actions listen Janet I can quite understand you're not wanting to go to sleep until you feel that you're safe but did you ever stop to analyze the word safe from what safe in which respect one can shut the door against one danger and be wide open to another look at yourself you want to be safe from death but at what price at the price of feeling guilty the price of being driven mad by the sense of guilt what then in your Madness won't you try to do away with yourself but then again that's death you run away from death and what do you run into death Madness and death but if you don't run away if you face the fact if you accept your destiny there's something like a certainty that you will escape Madness a very good chance of escaping death well I'll think about it I'm terribly thirsty would you like a drink yes that's a good idea I'll get one for you kie isn't it the great mother and precisely because she's a mother she's also the goddess of Destruction if you give life you also give death inevitably I must say they had a pretty realistic view of the world these old Hindus oh oh I beg your pardon I'm really most awfully sorry I don't think it'll harm the carpet do you just a little fizzy water and a spot of alcohol do I get another let me do it for you no no let me that's Emily's Bas it isn't him yes I thought I recognized it it's really rather gross test when one comes to think of it executing a man for murdering a dead woman murdering a dead woman what do you mean well that's what she was 2 months 3 months 4 months at the outside that's all she had in front of her you mean it if she hadn't been poisoned she would have been dead in 2 or 3 months that's it what are you laughing at I don't know [Music] [Music] nothing I'm [Music] sorry your poor hand did you do that yesterday yes I did it [Music] yesterday darling I want to tell you something it happened to me last night quite suddenly in the middle of a paroxysm of rage and despair it was like actually hearing a voice only there weren't any words there was just a kind of absolute certainty a certainty I knew that everything was finally all right I knew it it's true of course once got to face things as they really are one's got to forget what one would like them to [Music] be tell me my darling have the leaves started to turn they're all golden now even the beach trees I remember when I was a little boy walking in the beachwoods I used to pretend that dry leaves were heaps of money knee deep in gold like the account of Monte [Music] Cristo death death you know if if you accept it it's all right but if you refuse to accept it then you go mad but I can't accept it I can't should I tell you what was hardest accepting the fact that I shouldn't ever see you again I wish I were dead I wish I'd never been born there's nothing to do with one's wishes after all we did not ask to be born but we've got to put up with life even if we don't like it even if we can't understand it and mind you we can never understand it while we are actually living it life has to be lived forward but it can only be understood backwards so there it is that's what I suddenly understood and meanwhile what was I doing the exact opposite of what had to be done knocking my hands to Pieces driving myself mad raving against the Injustice of the thing but it is unjust from the outside yes from other people's point of view but you know if you accept the Injustice that's been done to you if you say to yourself well this is what has happened and I put up with it I actually will it if you can do this then in some strange mysterious way the nightmare makes a kind of sense I know it's difficult to explain but it's true oh before I forget I want you to promise me something don't see too much of Janet don't let her have anything to do with a baby but darling she's always been so sweet to me I know she has but all the same will you promise I promise I could tell you all the reasons but it would take too long besides what's the point Let the dead bury their dead why bother about the past I'm glad you didn't come to see me yesterday why yesterday I should almost have hated you hated me yes hated you for being free for having all your life in front of you whereas I was here if you your house you love me don't you and I love you D and love casts out fear course it also works the other way around fear casts out love yesterday there was nothing but fear but [Music] today today it's different two three and end with the fourth another queen let's see what I can do Jack of Club oh my goodness well here goes mine or mine you're no good at all I'm not clever enough this is a gate that requires intellect are you ready [Music] mhm at last a king one two I'm finished I'm done for I owe you1 million 11 million 11 is it oh well well anyway here's six on account I'll pay off the rest by installments stop a week until the last judgment agreable it's raining I like rain I like it when it rains really hard when there's thunder lightning oh that girl it's too horrible I hate him I hate him do you know what the time is only 2 minutes 2 minutes that's all then you will be safe safe I'll be safe they must have got everything ready on the scaffold rope straps and now they're going down the stairs is the governor of the prison the chap they're walking along the corridor it isn't far just a few steps they're at the door someone puts a key in the lock and turns it the door opens and there ear there he [Music] is just because she was 18 because of her mouth because of her skin Oh God God God [Music] God it's all of them no need to worry [Laughter] we SE now H still this won't hurt quite still Let Yourself Go feeling comfortable yes feel quite safe now don't you safe yes absolutely safe tell me Janet how did you get her to take the poison I put it in the coffee you thought he would ask you to marry him hm no no I don't want to talk about it it's true isn't it I can't tell you you thought that he loved you as much as you loved him it's too awful too humiliating all right I won't torment you anymore you can sleep now deep sleep warm soft dark like black velvet think of black velvet and black fur no light coming in no dreams to interrupt you just sleep hello give me toll please basy 6160 well was that W withth prison this is Dr James liard speaking I want to speak to the governor please at once yes yes
