We didn't. 18 00:02:31,818 --> 00:02:34,195 They can't understand why we didn't know what it meant... 19 00:02:34,196 --> 00:02:36,781 when our dog wouldn't go up those stairs. 20 00:02:36,782 --> 00:02:40,102 Animals see the blasted things, it appears. 21 00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:44,538 Well, my sister Pamela and I knew nothing about such matters... 22 00:02:44,539 --> 00:02:46,040 not then, we didn't. 23 00:02:46,041 --> 00:02:48,084 We had the disadvantage of being Londoners... 24 00:02:48,085 --> 00:02:50,836 just down for a fortnight's rest. 25 00:02:50,837 --> 00:02:55,192 That tenth day of May 1937 was the end of our holiday. 26 00:03:07,396 --> 00:03:09,897 We seem to be in somebody's garden. 27 00:03:09,898 --> 00:03:14,443 What was somebody's garden. What a marvelous old house! 28 00:03:14,444 --> 00:03:16,487 We'd better get out before we're had up for trespassing. 29 00:03:16,488 --> 00:03:20,764 - Where on earth did we leave the car? - That direction, I think. 30 00:03:31,503 --> 00:03:33,526 Look, a squirrel. 31 00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:36,859 - Grab Bobby! - Too late. Bobby, come back here! 32 00:03:38,468 --> 00:03:41,572 - You bad dog! - Bobby! 33 00:03:48,645 --> 00:03:51,647 He's got the poor little squirrel trapped. He'll kill it. 34 00:03:51,648 --> 00:03:55,673 My dear, sweet sister, it's more likely he's having his way with our Bobby. 35 00:04:01,700 --> 00:04:05,100 Fine way to spend a holiday... chasing a dog! 36 00:04:14,838 --> 00:04:18,033 - Where is he? - Under here, I think. 37 00:04:20,552 --> 00:04:21,886 I thought you had him. 38 00:04:21,887 --> 00:04:23,888 He had me. There he goes! Hang on to Bobby! 39 00:04:23,889 --> 00:04:25,457 I can't! 40 00:04:34,232 --> 00:04:36,209 Oh, well played, sir! 41 00:04:39,112 --> 00:04:42,933 - Do you suppose he can get out? - Certainly. He's on the roof by now. 42 00:04:44,201 --> 00:04:47,995 That's a smart dog. He'll be back any minute. 43 00:04:47,996 --> 00:04:50,247 Rick, have you noticed anything? 44 00:04:50,248 --> 00:04:52,374 Only that I'm in no shape to join the hunting set. 45 00:04:52,375 --> 00:04:57,276 No, I mean this house. It's the loveliest thing I ever saw. 46 00:04:58,256 --> 00:05:02,551 - Look at that staircase. - Oh, boy, what banisters for sliding! 47 00:05:02,552 --> 00:05:04,553 - Oh, Rick. - What is it? 48 00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:08,474 Your saying that, and the house... it took me back. 49 00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:11,393 - Yeah, it's quite a bit like the... - The rose bowl there... 50 00:05:11,394 --> 00:05:13,854 the grandfather clock there... 51 00:05:13,855 --> 00:05:17,066 and Mother in her best gray moire sweeping down the stairs. 52 00:05:17,067 --> 00:05:19,985 - You'll be howling in a minute. Come out. - Not on your life. 53 00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:24,031 I'm going to see the rest of this. Come on. Let's pretend we're buying it. 54 00:05:24,032 --> 00:05:26,033 I'll toss you for the bedroom with the best view. 55 00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:28,762 They've all got best views. 56 00:05:30,247 --> 00:05:33,791 How lovely! Why does it make me feel I'm on a boat? 57 00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:37,962 It's the light on the ceiling. That's the sea. It's nice to wake up and see that. 58 00:05:37,963 --> 00:05:40,631 Oh, how I do hate living in a London flat. 59 00:05:40,632 --> 00:05:43,843 If you're brought up in an old house, you always hanker for one. 60 00:05:43,844 --> 00:05:46,572 It's stuck. You try it. 61 00:05:49,599 --> 00:05:52,184 It's locked. Family skeletons, probably. 62 00:05:52,185 --> 00:05:54,436 Oh, what a bore. 63 00:05:54,437 --> 00:05:56,631 Rick, the bathroom! 64 00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:03,050 An open fire while you bathe. What luxury! 65 00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,949 You know, this is a Saturday-night-only bathroom. 66 00:06:06,950 --> 00:06:11,161 You boiled yourself as red as a lobster, then hurried to bed to avoid a chill. 67 00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:13,080 - Rick. - What? 68 00:06:13,081 --> 00:06:16,500 I've had one of my feelings. We're really going to buy this house. 69 00:06:16,501 --> 00:06:19,753 Oh, yes? Did your feeling tell you what we're going to buy it with? 70 00:06:19,754 --> 00:06:23,173 If we both put in everything we have, maybe we can get it. 71 00:06:23,174 --> 00:06:27,094 It's terribly out of the way, and it hasn't been lived in for years. 72 00:06:27,095 --> 00:06:31,098 But what would we do with it? We can't drive nearly 300 miles just for weekends. 73 00:06:31,099 --> 00:06:34,685 We'll live here all the time, and you'll work at your music. 74 00:06:34,686 --> 00:06:37,605 My poor lunatic sister, I happen to have a job. 75 00:06:37,606 --> 00:06:39,773 Yes, and what a job... going to concerts... 76 00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:42,568 and telling your readers how bad the music was. 77 00:06:42,569 --> 00:06:45,070 It's not good enough, Rick. Chuck it. 78 00:06:45,071 --> 00:06:48,073 Down here you'd write your own music, as you always should have done... 79 00:06:48,074 --> 00:06:50,117 and as you've always wanted to. 80 00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:53,704 Rick, it isn't as if you were even a good music critic. 81 00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:57,124 Well, thank you very much. Anyway, I get paid hard cash. 82 00:06:57,125 --> 00:07:00,377 Well, doesn't the idea attract you at all? 83 00:07:00,378 --> 00:07:02,004 Attract me? 84 00:07:02,005 --> 00:07:04,465 Look, you come out of here. You're dangerous. 85 00:07:04,466 --> 00:07:08,010 Don't you know how rare houses like this are? 86 00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:11,138 - I like the banisters. - How Lizzie'd love that kitchen. 87 00:07:11,139 --> 00:07:13,307 That little beach must belong to it. 88 00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,643 It's in good condition too. Not a sign of damp. 89 00:07:15,644 --> 00:07:18,604 - We'll get our furniture out of storage - Be calm, Pamela. 90 00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:20,564 A change like this would have to be discussed for months. 91 00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:24,026 Nonsense. Important decisions have to be made quickly. 92 00:07:24,027 --> 00:07:26,987 Well, my paper has asked me to do a series... 93 00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:29,657 "Lives of the great musicians." Reading time: two minutes. 94 00:07:29,658 --> 00:07:32,910 - There you are. That'll feed us. - Yes, until I run out of musicians. 95 00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:35,204 Anyway, how do we know the place is for sale? 96 00:07:35,205 --> 00:07:38,900 Rick, life isn't as cruel as that. It's got to be. 97 00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:49,218 Now remember, Pam, no signs of keenness. 98 00:07:49,219 --> 00:07:52,323 We're just mildly interested. Mildly. 99 00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:56,350 - Good afternoon. - Good afternoon. 100 00:07:56,351 --> 00:07:58,936 We'd like to see Commander Beech, if we may. 101 00:07:58,937 --> 00:08:02,606 - He's not in at the moment. - Could we wait for him? 102 00:08:02,607 --> 00:08:04,675 Won't you come in? 103 00:08:13,785 --> 00:08:15,869 There's a fire in the study. 104 00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:19,691 I think I can catch my grandfather by telephone. 105 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,129 - Who shall I say wants to see him? - He wouldn't know our name. 106 00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:28,924 It's Fitzgerald. My sister, Pamela Fitzgerald, and I'm Roderick Fitzgerald. 107 00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:30,217 - How do you do? - How do you do? 108 00:08:30,218 --> 00:08:33,137 I'm Stella Meredith. Won't you sit down? 109 00:08:33,138 --> 00:08:34,805 Thank you. 110 00:08:34,806 --> 00:08:39,002 Oh, not in that chair! It's got a lumpy seat. 111 00:08:41,521 --> 00:08:43,589 - Do you mind? - Oh, no. 112 00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:48,610 - Oh, dear. Will this do? - Thank you. 113 00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:51,405 We're an awfully un-smoking house. 114 00:08:51,406 --> 00:08:55,701 Grandfather had a cigar blown straight down his throat once when he was on the foredeck. 115 00:08:55,702 --> 00:08:57,725 He lost his taste for tobacco. 116 00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:00,831 Can I help in any way? 117 00:09:00,832 --> 00:09:03,500 We wanted to talk to the commander about a house he owns... 118 00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,419 on top of the cliff. 119 00:09:05,420 --> 00:09:06,754 - Windward? - Yes. 120 00:09:06,755 --> 00:09:10,632 You see, we've fallen head over heels in love with... 121 00:09:10,633 --> 00:09:13,761 - I mean, it might just do for us. - Really? 122 00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:16,430 We understand from Mrs. Brown at the inn ifs for sale. 123 00:09:16,431 --> 00:09:21,435 Mrs. Brown is mistaken. Sorry you've been put to the trouble of coming here. 124 00:09:21,436 --> 00:09:24,021 Perhaps if we could speak to your grandfather about it... 125 00:09:24,022 --> 00:09:26,023 It wouldn't be the slightest use. 126 00:09:26,024 --> 00:09:28,776 I'm sorry, but there's really no point in your waiting. 127 00:09:28,777 --> 00:09:31,005 Stella, are you there? 128 00:09:32,363 --> 00:09:34,573 Yes, Grandfather. 129 00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,551 In here. 130 00:09:42,165 --> 00:09:44,166 Well, what is it? 131 00:09:44,167 --> 00:09:47,002 Some people who came here by mistake, Grandfather. 132 00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:48,170 They're just leaving. 133 00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:50,380 We heard that Windward House is for sale. 134 00:09:50,381 --> 00:09:52,758 Yes, it is. 135 00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:55,260 Won't you sit down? I'll be with you in a moment. 136 00:09:55,261 --> 00:09:57,534 Thank you very much. 137 00:10:02,268 --> 00:10:03,560 Grandfather, please. 138 00:10:03,561 --> 00:10:06,730 I thought I made myself quite clear on this point, Stella. 139 00:10:06,731 --> 00:10:09,858 - Yes, Grandfather... - I don't understand you. 140 00:10:09,859 --> 00:10:12,319 A house you haven't lived in since you were a child... 141 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,863 a piece of property we can't afford to maintain. 142 00:10:14,864 --> 00:10:17,533 But it was my mother's house. It's... 143 00:10:17,534 --> 00:10:20,994 - I can't put it into words. It's... - Nonsense. 144 00:10:20,995 --> 00:10:23,189 Grandfather, please! 145 00:10:42,725 --> 00:10:45,519 I don't believe many repairs will be necessary. 146 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,229 The roof is sound... 147 00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:50,607 and the walls have withstood the Atlantic gales for two centuries. 148 00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:52,151 - Thank you. - Thank you. 149 00:10:52,152 --> 00:10:56,113 There was a considerable sum spent on the house some 20 years ago... 150 00:10:56,114 --> 00:11:01,118 - when I gave it to my daughter. - I understand. Well, I'm sorry... 151 00:11:01,119 --> 00:11:04,788 but I'm afraid £1,200 is our absolute limit. 152 00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:07,166 - Is that a definite offer? - Yes. 153 00:11:07,167 --> 00:11:09,960 And you would pay the entire sum immediately? 154 00:11:09,961 --> 00:11:12,530 - You mean you'd sell for that? - Yes. 155 00:11:15,341 --> 00:11:18,177 I suppose you ought to have the property surveyed before we... 156 00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:21,138 - Oh, Rick. - There's no need to get suspicious. 157 00:11:21,139 --> 00:11:23,599 The house is worth far more than that... 158 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,018 but I have a very young granddaughter... 159 00:11:26,019 --> 00:11:29,479 and £1,200 in the bank for her would ease my mind considerably. 160 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,799 We understand perfectly. 161 00:11:32,609 --> 00:11:34,985 And you'd not be nervous in such a lonely house? 162 00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:36,820 No, indeed. 163 00:11:36,821 --> 00:11:41,116 Or of the wind at nights? It plays odd tricks in old houses. 164 00:11:41,117 --> 00:11:43,076 Are you trying to tell us the house is haunted? 165 00:11:43,077 --> 00:11:46,272 No, Miss Fitzgerald. No house is haunted. 166 00:11:46,748 --> 00:11:51,793 But I had some tenants five years ago who complained of... disturbances. 167 00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:55,255 What was the trouble? Ladies carrying their heads under their arms? 168 00:11:55,256 --> 00:11:58,258 I declined to discuss it and canceled the lease. 169 00:11:58,259 --> 00:12:02,262 - But I couldn't cancel a sale. - We wouldn't want you to. 170 00:12:02,263 --> 00:12:05,682 One does feel that a story like that should bring the price down. 171 00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:09,853 I've already made a very considerable reduction, Mr. Fitzgerald. 172 00:12:09,854 --> 00:12:12,105 Perhaps we both need time to think the matter over. 173 00:12:12,106 --> 00:12:15,567 - But our offer's definite. Isn't it, Rick? - Oh, yes. 174 00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,762 Very well, then. I accept it. 175 00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:22,407 Title deeds and checks will be exchanged by our solicitors. 176 00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:27,184 In the meantime, I have your word, and you have mine. 177 00:12:27,956 --> 00:12:32,106 Well, it's wonderfully simple to buy a house, isn't it? 178 00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:40,114 - Pam, where are you? - Here I am.
