Baines gave her a sedative to calm her prior Meggy under my own roof you know I suppose I shouldn't say this but I don't give a damn whether their blighter gets away or not as long as we get those emeralds back know that Richard Nicholas was her pride and joy no I remember telling me once she said you wrote naked without it here here we took one each on the worst comes to the worst she'll collect the insurance by Jo via 60,000 pounds quite a comforting thought what it isn't what's that criticism I said it isn't what I meant to say was well it would be if it was true but my dear only what on earth are you driving at it was when the sedative was beginning to work she wasn't hysterical anymore she was quiet and quite lucid she said she said she'd let the policy lapse my god oh good sit down to his you're damn well told that bendy was it the strictest evening they're putting up a road barrier there's been no car through for the past two hours so unless he changes route which I very much doubt we're bound to catching sir quick get the doctor I think he's had a stroke serves him right I say fetch enough didn't respect now Crandon respect you tell him about respect it's against the law to shoot burglars might have been murder manslaughter maybe we won't go into that you only got it in the yarn there's not many gentleman uses number three there's not many gentlemen with a racing car straight out of Brooklyn's that shouldn't be allowed on the public highway left turn whimsy turn on the public I may not know more he's on his way back to join his regiment you'll never mind about that hmm very nice statement you made credit very nice indeed but there's one thing I don't understand what's that a respectable jewel thief with a handsome record like yours I didn't expect you to go grassing on your jump tinker there's no chum of mine I'll tell you what deacon is he's a dirty double-crossing that's enough tragedy I won't tolerate bad language on my sincere apologies my feelings got the better of me sticks out like a sore thumb doesn't it you don't know where those emeralds are neither do I that's what you say I come off it all your chaps at Stevenage found was the empty jhulka his good a ditched him on route oh yes in a ditch I suppose use your loaf inspector I would never have grasped on Deacon if he hadn't double-crossed me but you know as well as I do that he pocketed that necklace and passed me the empty case inspector how long do you reckon I'll get the nail defender the judge sentenced Ramzan to ten years on the law deacons donated its own eggs and it's not enough in my opinion his own the first offense for him he was a servant in a position of trust he betrayed his master then he broke faith with his wretched and colors other two I regard equals more evil [Music] yeah in the roads were they ever recovered no I'm afraid not if anybody knows where they are Deacon doesn't he ain't sinned poor lady were broke poor as a child the set took place on his premises I told you what of his home servants was involved stones weren't insured he felt that the responsibility was his and he insisted on paying lady will from their full value 60,000 pounds for progression you mean she accepted I'm afraid sir left the family and uncommonly straighten circumstances so Charles never recovered from the blow he died a few months afterwards a very distressing story as for everyone for everyone except the two villains in the piece hmm well there they are two rogues enjoying the relative comforts of Dartmoor and mates down for issues how long must be nearly four years now they'll miss the Holocaust while we are not only existing in conditions of extreme discomfort now in constant danger of instant extermination God will end another

things that I'm going to miss I know what you mean sir I still miss our partnership sergeant it's been a damn good partnership get nothing to do with your saving my life that's something quite separate in my mind and always will be believe me sir it's a matter that's been watching my thoughts during those weeks in hospital I gave it very careful consideration you too sir yes sir may I inquire did you reach any conclusions yes sir does in my view the success of a relationship between two people is placing quite right too I mean our backgrounds and upbringing a pose apart but our standards are not our characters are at once opposite and complementary in Brick cetera borrow a phrase from senior mark county we appear to be on the same wavelength by a sergeant I never knew such a chappie of a whacking the nail over the crumpet that's why such a confounded pity with them with respect sir with all without his sergeant you bill on well the fact is I um I didn't come here to inquire about your health or for the very real pleasure of seeing you again at him it was to do with the subject we've just been discussing here indeed I came here armed with a very definite proposal now that might sound impertinent or even presumptuous I doubt it sergeant I doubt it very much what is your definite proposal well I'll rephrase that said sir a request or identic list but in the event of mr. Dawson retiring from your servicer I would wish to be considered as his replacement ah bitter chill it was the owl for all his feathers was a cold the hair limp trembling through the frozen grass and silent was the flock in wooly fold the either said headless junkies and very appropriate to this time of year my lord they are not to pick a deliverer now I'll no hair no flock they're all waiting for us at Juke Simba anything in the papers knew your Spanish Influenza is reached epidemic proportions model haha and heavy snow is reported in the north and the Midlands oh and the Prime Minister and his wireless broadcast of the nation should be I know I heard him we must go on on on and up up up you know to hear that fella speak anyone would think that this country was a hot-air-balloon in a high wind and the way the government has been failing to steer us that is exactly how I must appear to our foreign friends ha as it is our inescapable fate to spend yet another New Year's Eve with my brother at Dukes Denver banter I have planned a very cunning route now then after isn't all balloons we shall avoid the main highway and stick to the side roads round that away now I calculate that that should save us about 20 miles they won't take us very much longer indeed my lord indeed but that Dan here's a coincidence do you remember me once telling you about the Wilbraham Emeril's I do indeed my lord in circumstances I'm unlikely to forget well the scene of the crime was a village in Norfolk Fenchurch small we should be passing through it there will you call on your friend Sir Henry for my brother's friend lantern of mine I hardly knew in fact I've never been in touch with him since you know I've often wondered about those emeralds but no Banta Jew dear before curiosity we shall not be stopping at Fenchurch and Paul you all right buzzer perfectly my lord is my lordship on her yes quite thank you oh sorry about that why do you think we are where's yeah very hard to say my lord my map-reading went with the light and the the torch was insufficient damn humpback bridge didn't see it ah blessed there Quadra far from civilization ah I was wrong but her we shall be stopped in the ten chirps and poor [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music]
