self-made millionaire in his private

Paradise on the island of L

perfectly

all perfectly um oo a letter from Mr

rfel

solicitors how

strange how very

strange

M

[Music]

oh

[Music]

H

Jan this perplexing what is the letter

Mr Raphael wants me to investigate

something I can only take as being

a but he tells me nothing about it what

kind of crime if it was a crime and when

it was committed where

anything I'm most

bewildered it's like me asked to do a

crossword puzzle without any clues well

must be something

El I mean there must be something oh

there is yes time to go and see her

solicitors I wonder what she'll be like

she's elderly so she'll be

punctual

ah

I must say Sher I feel a little un

embarrassed how much are we supposed to

reveal the basic facts if asked yes yes

indeed it makes it very

awkward Mr rafield was always such a

difficult

client a coach to I'm afraid so that is

to say yes I'm a little embarrassed Miss

Marin that I have so little to tell you

I have two tickets for this particular

toour to be put at your disposal the

second is in case you would like to take

a companion thank you yes I see yes the

financial reward will be yours uh when

you've completed your investigation to

your own satisfaction or at the end of a

year

unconditionally yes but this is a little

awkward how I know if I've been

successful

ah well we're advised that you'll know

you've been

successful when you've been

successful yes yes I see I see how that

could be yes um I think broad the dear

lady might like to know how much the

reward amounts to oh yes of course thank

you

just

£20,000 that is a very large sum of

money it's not as large as it used to

be

well

partridges

M partridges are very difficult to get

down rather expensive think I should

enjoy a partridge all to myself and uh

perhaps Maron glass is um oh tell me

didn't Mr rapael have a son

Michael Yes rather delicate matter that

I'm a AF there was an estrangement

between him and his father he was um a

scandal a scandal you say as a nasty

business he was suspected of being

involved in a

murder and when was this oh number of

years now how many um broad R seven or

eight and are you in touch with Michael

refel now no after the Scandal we

understand he went abroad for some years

and after he returned to this country we

heard he was living among the homeless

dear Tramps and um down and outs and so

on but when all intents and purposes

he's

disappeared well could he be dead he

could be yes he's not been declared

dead now may I impose on you both course

Madam I should like to know the exact

circumstances of this murder perhaps

perhaps you could follow the itinerary

and write to me at one of these places

could you yes of course Miss mom so you

you will go on the

door that is what Mr Raphael

intended and a

companion yes yes I think I shall take a

[Music]

places oh may I join you both oh please

do thank

you

J well I think I should feel a little

presumptuous pleas well Aunt Jane well

no I mean we both did actually oddly

enough but aun Jane

meant it was one of her little ideas you

know well what we were wondering was

whether you might not be on some sort of

pilgrimage you remind me so much of Mrs

Jameson who came all the way from cheser

Once to Mar me to look at the church the

church

cheser well he's all right as churches

go but chesha no well the point being

that Mrs Jameson been very happy and

some Mary me a long time

ago are you on a

pilgrimage yes you're right really in

what way I mean are you visiting an

actual Shrine or abides used to be an

old stamping ground of mine I'm uh

looking for an explanation of something

that's puzzled me for years

so you chose a

tour yes a brocher landed on my doormat

a week or so ago and Abby juices was

mentioned on the itinerary it seemed

like fate was giving me a

nudge I must say I didn't expect

congenial company as

well

[Music]

your father's will is is a somewhat

complex document I don't care if it's a

three volume novel Mr broad

RP I want to hear it very well

then ah Miss

wio that's not really Mr raffel's son is

it I'm afraid it is would you make a

couple of teams when oh this may take

some time as previously ordained that

bit in English in the vernacular what

does it mean it means that you inherit 2

million and various

yes always providing that don't give me

the jargon broad

rib

if if you agree to live in the home that

your father May made over to you at the

time of your engagement raffill house

Abid uses you are to maintain both it

and that's the only way I get it Mr

raffel it is one of the finest houses in

England is it the only

way yes I'm afraid

so otherwise

nothing

you met I take it with a

negative as you

saw I have the details Miss marle

requested you put them in this

afternoon's

post to

uh

[Music]

staron

I had the T as a gift all expenses paid

by a

friend have you heard of Jason

Rafel he was the friend yes yes it was

in his will how

strange yes I've heard of him he

contributed once or twice to educational

projects He had a son you know oh yes

yes I knew

you one of my

pupils

it she was a a shining

girl not academically bright nor was she

very attractive not surely

attractive not clever not athletic she

was an orphan she had no money no

home yet there was something in her

nature perhaps it was

goodness you believe in such things oh

yes yes

I believe in evil in everlasting life

and oh yes goodness yeah

perhaps perhaps it was

goodness and what happened to

her she was engaged to Mr rafi's son

Michael rfel but she didn't marry him no

why

not whether she would have in the end I

don't

know she died before she could she died

how she was

killed but

why

love I don't

know love I

think

love oh look I think it's clearing up a

little

[Music]

you know anything about the professor no

but our little to her seems a surprising

choice for a man like that I agree yeah

you happen to know what he is Professor

of yes

criminal

psychology

really well

well thank you

man I'd

[Music]

like Miss Temple said that vity hunt

died of Love

Yes broad ribbon sh to say here that she

was

murdered how on Earth do they know that

because the man arrested for her murder

was Mr Rafel

son Michael where are you from I said he

shouldn't do where are you from leave

the poor s alone eh can't stay here

obstruct in a thare for rats leave

where are you

from I come from

Tipperary leave him to

me make sure you

moving V H's body was found in a ditch

10 miles from

abides Michael Rafel and the girl were

lovers was that the

love Miss Temple was talking about I

[Music]

I see what you love in Death and All

That was Michael Rafel found guilty no

he was arrested as I say but was never

brought to

trial that seems to be very significant

in the

circumstances

how I see you mean you can't be tried

for a crime of which you've been

acquitted exactly so Michael Raphael

could still be tried for this murder of

this girl

exactly Abby Deuces

[Music]

tomorrow

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

our Us in and so forth you stay oh thank

you

Miss Jane M ah oh well I'm her godson as

next I'm linia Glenn by the way my

sisters and I have the old manor house

she was coming yes we have a mutual

friend it seems Mr Raphael he wrote to

us before he died asked us to Coit her

when she came told us the dates and

everything well that's extra isn't it

but he seems to have planned it down to

the

last oh he was a great planner Mr rafio

well he was a tycoon wasn't he anyway we

were wondering whether she'd like to

come and stay with us for a couple of

nights oh yes well I'm sure she'd love

to love to she's not Ultra keen on as a

matter of fact she finds him Aid imp

personal mind you that's what I like

about them and getting your shoes

polished of course

but she doesn't good good I'm so

pleased Mr Raphael didn't tell us a man

was coming uh perhaps it's a last minute

decision really aun Jane thought it'd be

good for me never

mind oh I see what you

mean no well actually I'm terribly

um would you think me very unsociable if

I opted to stay on here at the hotel

this an old Professor on the tour who

rather relies on me of course of course

friends of

Rafi

there but I

I can't work it out what you

mean well I'm being confided in and I'm

also being

watched have I

enemies or are they

friends L there the more I think about

this problem Mr RAF set us the more I

feel sure it has to do with his son now

Rafael everywhere you go everywhere the

butcher the baker the Candlestick maker

your aunt I well as a matter of fact

she's been invited to stay at the old

Mana house oh she didn't say she knew

the radb Scots no she didn't actually it

was another of the postmortem

Arrangements Mr rafhael arranged it it's

amazing I'm counting on it to plan next

term's timetable for

me it was Mr Rafi who knew the Bradbury

Scots I

see Aunt Jane's coming to the hotel on

Saturday if you want to see her oh yes

thank you I

[Music]

see thank you Mrs Adams no I only moved

the girls we're a local institution I

think we are always have been there go

the Bradbery Scott girls in full sale do

remember we went everywhere together

before I was married the toast of the

county oh we were

so just like the Windam sisters now

we're just the B ear dear who live in a

ruin speak for yourself antha dear I see

it somewhat

differently my

library B of it keep falling down look

at the bakery The Stables the old

laundry house everything's decaying it's

horrible rats damp worms there spiders

in every corner

an my library is my life work really

I've made a collection of local history

cultural and social history and so on

people write to till from all over the

world gives me something to do what do

you dream of in your library clal dear

what comes to you when you're sitting by

the fire who comes to

you just daddy girls girls come come our

life is very rich very

blessed what are your plans Miss marle

we'd be delighted to show you around

anthia and I CL has her work of course

but we could our church is rather

Splendid and there are lots of nooks and

crannies around about oh thank you very

much but my my godson is to be my chaer

he's he's hadir a car from a garage in

abides well if we can help in any way

some of the houses around here are quite

superb Rafel house used to be lovely

Rafel house ah Mr rfel oh yes indeed but

he lived here I had no idea oh

absolutely until that sweet little wife

of his died then he went back to

London place has got quite a history

hasn't it JY yes it

has it was built in the 18th century by

a family who made a vast Fortune out of

the fern Timber trade it was quite run

down where Mr rafhael bought it but he

restored it

magnificently his son lived in it for a

while but does so no longer so Mr Rafi

lived in heavy

juices I should have

guessed did know his son a bad

lot conventional wisdom nowadays seems

to be that young men ought to be a bit

wild and it's they who turn out right in

the

end well Michael Rafel started bad and

continued

worse will you excuse me there's a book

I have to get back to the public library

in King Minster this week I must finish

it of course I'm so glad you were able

to come Miss

marel

yes perhaps I

shouldn't but C mentioned him

first do you know I really think I ought

to go and see if Mrs Adams has fed T

sing I I think she takes that fish home

for her own wretched

Mark it's so lovely to have you here

Miss

Marvel my poor

sisters what you have to understand Miss

marel is my sister's relationship with

Jason

Rafel wasn't simply that of good friends

and

neighbors they were United by

grief how they both lost

children but Michael Raphael was his

only child and Jason rafhael lost

Michael just as surely as my sisters

lost Verity Verity

ver hunt the girl Michael was involved

with the one who was

killed my sisters were V's Guardians

Miss

marel

[Music]

[Music]

you've got a flare for evil that's

what a nose for it oh have I indeed

well we should manifest

itself um May I oh yes of

course I believe your aunt and I may

share a common interest Mr Peele really

clo and antha Bradbery Scott were very

Dehan Guardians you know ah I see were

they it's so difficult to know what to

do for the

best you have a car don't you Mr Peele

I'm sorry I saw you parking a car oh is

his car yes yes I have I wonder if I may

impose upon

[Music]

[Applause]

you

[Music]

how would you describe that Mr Peele

apart from being

beautiful a mansion under English Skies

beautiful as a wreck of

paradise looks as though Prince Charming

ought to turn up and wake it with a kiss

place oh the jolly old genius lokai eh

B ABY Deuces ah very good professor I

hope the news from the infirmary Will

C

ah there she

[Music]

thing

[Music]

[Applause]

isn't

that that's the professor from the tour

party isn't

it

[Music]

got he whated to do that one's with the

tourist as

well

no

[Music]

what Earth is going

on

a very plain stone for someone who's

been loved as much as she has don't you

think

yes

[Music]

thank you here we are Andre should be

quite enough up here would you like me

to fet you a cup of coffee no thank

you

I heard that when we were in the

church well

well ah Professor won hello I got some

bad news I'm

afraid Miss Temple has been seriously

injured Miss

Temple what do you mean seriously she

hasn't recovered Consciousness yet the

answer is we don't know I don't think

she'll

[Music]

live you said it could have been an

accident

Professor does that suggest the

possibility that it was not possibly

not a stone stack statue Filled from the

gallery I saw a man he was wearing a

cloth cap and a brightly colored

pullover hardly the sort of thing you'd

wear

if well

no not unless you wanted to be

conspicuous ghosts

ghosts Mr Rael is a ghostly Puppet

Master jerking us this way and that

setting us puzzles and laughing at us

from Beyond the gra C oh I'm sorry

Professor you can can hardly know what

I'm talking about I have to confess I do

I'm afraid I too am one of Mr rafi's

puppets Miss

[Music]

marel

before Mr rafield died I received a

summons to come on this tour ah

sorry

nothing

sorry

please yes anyway as far as I can tell I

was to remain in the shadows a sort of U

super numerary player in case um

well anyway you've been in good hands

but what was your own interest in the

aair professor Mr Raffi's other puppets

were involved it seems I'm a

psychologist I specialize in criminal

psychology I've been attached to the

home office for some years now I

assessed Mr rael's son Michael when he

was first

arrested there seemed every likelihood

then that he'd be charged with

murder and was he

insane

no no tell me Miss

marel may I ask what you've discovered

so far so far just concerns a murdered

girl that's all really Verity hunt Miss

Temple taught her the Brad briscot were

her

Guardians and Mr rafi's son Michael was

engaged to be married to her but the

most significant fact of all was that

Verity hunt was love

Miss Temple hinted that she died because

she was loved oh I do wish Miss Temple

had said more you don't think she said

more to anyone else I suppose well she

wrote a letter well she said she was

going to and as far as I can

remember I got the impression you didn't

want to write it it was going to be a

bit of a pig yes yes it would

be what did she

know whom did she know I wonder

[Music]

it occurs to me Professor that Miss

Temple was not a woman to waste her time

she must have thought that someone here

in abides was going to tell her

something either that person was heard

attack her

or else or else what AR you or there is

somebody else in this business somebody

we know nothing

about

oh

oh I think we should look at

that telephone message from Mrs H

Oldcastle archdeacon braison left this

address four or five years

ago well that's certainly somebody I

know nothing about no

indeed an arch

[Music]

deacon no I'm sorry I've got a very bad

line I can hardly hear hello but wrong

way Walker not

that Ross you you

really miss miss marel could you The

King Alfred room thanks so much could

you Mr PE Heavens thanks oh God come on

flock Miss ramley Miss ramley Professor

Ward Professor wad

telephone the infirmary

sir won speaking ladies and gentlemen if

you could all sit down just for a moment

please thank

you now

then I want you all to know that Miss

Temple has regained Consciousness

briefly so we can hope I mean I I don't

know if

uh anyway as you know we were to have

carried on to Stratford this evening but

I'm afraid that'll be impossible now

until Monday or Tuesday at least the

police are being very Cooperative but

they will have to have statements from

everyone and there will be a certain

amount of checking up to

do sameus Temple asked specifically for

me yes so I gather oh and how is she

well they don't think she'll

recover oh isn't that antha Bradbery

Scott

I'm sorry for those Bradbery Scott girls

the world's changed and they haven't

changed with

[Music]

Happened yes all

[Music]

right

now that she's dead it'll mean an

inquest of course yes yes I suppose it

will tell me

um

what why did you really come on this

toour for the reasons I gave sorry but

you

know put it this way you don't strike me

as particularly altruistic I why should

you pay any attention to the whims of a

dead

oh I see for the money didn't I say bro

and Schuster have been instructed to pay

me and very

well academics don't eat off gold plate

you

Professor

yes I was thinking Professor apart from

this mysterious Arch Deacon rabson whom

poor M Temple was trying to reach when

she was murdered I think there are three

things to follow up now L Michael Rafel

yes I think he should be found don't

you ah aha yes yes of course I'll

um mind you according to Schuster he's

living like a in London but yes

I'll I'll have a go will you be if I go

to London I mean oh yes L of course I

will now Professor actual service this

young girl Nora Brent who disappeared at

the time of the murder I understand she

lived in Abby Deuces well I just

wondered whe if I might do some research

for you well

willingly

hello we came straight over when we

heard what A horrid thing know how she

is Miss Temple died at

5:00 oh my

God I'm very sorry

very

sorry we came over actually to say you'd

be most welcome of course Miss marel to

stay on of the Mana house as long as you

like oh that's most kind of you you sure

I wouldn't be any trouble not in the

least thank you that's settled good

we'll look forward to seeing you later

this evening then thank

you

are you

sure oh yes I'm quite sure that's the

third line of

inquire Mr Rafi intended me to go there

to discover

something well I haven't discovered

it perhaps I haven't asked the right

question bother it I expect it to close

[Music]

weather very

here did you know

her I had no

idea you you do mean Verity hunt I

suppose I have no idea what I mean I'm

afraid poor Miss Temple said

before she died just that

PR of course it means the truth

but oh oh deare have I said something I

shouldn't I'm so sorry that's all right

miss

marble my sisters were extremely fond of

her that's all and she was killed quite

dreadfully murdered antho For Heaven's

Sake they found her body in a

ditch she was a girl we cared

for very

much she lived here for a number of

years I was very fond of

her I didn't say that

you she was terribly fond of you

she her life should have

be

she

everything excuse

me God's sake I didn't mean

to oh

dear we were all fond

Verity but to clle she was like a

daughter so we never me her unless we

can help

it I believe I told you Michael Raphael

was a bad

lot well it was rather more than that

I'm

afraid assault forgers trouble with

local girls stories of

violence and then a girl in the village

disappeared Nora

Brent she's never been

found then Verity was murdered

naturally the police questioned Michael

Rafel the last time she was seen alive

was in his

car we have no proof of course

[Music]

but

anyway her body was discovered 6 months

later soti had to go and identify

it Verity had been strangled and her

head beaten

in

my sister has never got over

[Music]

it

[Music]

no I'm sorry madam Mr peel checked out

yesterday morning thank you for your

help good morning

ladies

so yeah you're not going with the main

party then no we're not no we've agreed

that this tragedy has made the whole

idea of the tour seemed rather futile or

distasteful actually yes I

agree there's a memorial service for

Miss temple on Wednesday is there oh

good I shall go to that yes we'll stay

on for that and then we'll see it's left

us feeling very flat quite

quite

well better be getting on quite

so

[Music]

Mrs Brent yes my name is wanted home

office could I come and have a word with

you about your

daughter

are you sure you don't want anything no

thank you really Mrs bent I had a coffee

at the hotel oh well I'll just get

myself an orange squash

then

people said I spot her well

perhaps oh you should have seen her as a

kid little face and ringlets Nora could

turn her head I can tell you never lost

the art of that she

didn't people said I should have watched

her better after Keith walked

out well of course I could have

done could I

have but you can't run people's lives

for them can you and if you don't have

some fun when you're

young where do you think she is

now what you sounded before as if you

knew where you thought she might be

now well I know where she is all right

you

do she's

dead that's

what poor little

cow

H must

be oh she'd go off she'd always be off

scare the lights out of me but if it

wasn't much good she'd be back soon

enough when she was happy it was

worse sometimes she wouldn't be in touch

with me for days a little

bint but they'd always be the call

sooner or later so well I didn't worry

much at

first we knew each other you see

I couldn't believe

it not

really not deep

down for weeks I

couldn't then in the end I realized it

would be nonsense not

to I mean she would have been in touch

somehow

something little soft cow knew what I

was like she would want to talk to me

no she's dead and

gone someone got

her poor

little yes I am I'm

a shine to my Nora well she was an

innocent she liked to ask Nora

maids not not quite what i' choose if I

wanted to ask what to do with a man no

[Music]

amen

[Music]

with and come s

[Music]

I hope you don't mind my asking but are

you by any chance Arch Deacon Rabon yes

yes yes I

am I believe we once had an acquaintance

in common Mr

Rafi yes quite right he died not long

ago is is that why you're here in a

manner of speaking I believe I'm here at

his bidding too there seems no other

explanation I'd meant many times to

return here from Australia and suddenly

there on my de was an air ticket the

airline assured me there was no mistake

it was in my name at the airport in

London another ticket was waiting for me

to Abby Deuces I arrived here to be

greeted by this tragic news and even

that seemed stage managed somehow Arch

Deacon there's someone I'd like you to

meet there she

is Mr rafiel's Bloodhound his avenging

Angel she looks so harmless doesn't she

her camouflage is perfect because she is

partly just what she seems a gossipy Old

Village lady but her logic is ruthless

and her powers of synthesis

formidable and above all she never lets

go I look forward to meeting

her Verity of course I'd known since she

was a child and she

was well

she was blessed with a quality of

goodness and simplicity which at times

was quite

unnerving Miss Temple described her as a

shining girl yes that's exactly right

she was she

was it was she who first came to

me she believed Michael would change she

said I tried to explain that people

hardly ever changed not essentially her

reply was

simple did I not believe in the

Redemption of the

individual I can see her

now her

Simplicity her strength her

belief I can tell you I felt ashamed at

the time soiled by the world and when I

saw them together I knew she was

right I'd advised many people who were

about to marry none were better suited

than and they were they had a trust

and understanding of each other which

was rare very

rare

[Music]

shining Mr Rafel Raph oh well you don't

know him well he's a sort of uh well I

don't know uh a sort of people's

Advocate he'll uh face out to officials

on behalf of some of these poor fellows

who uh passed to our hands when they uh

uh a console

populist he's quite an educated chap you

know um considered a bit of a saint of

course I'm an official so uh I don't see

much of the saintly side the pH sees get

the sharper side of his tongue where uh

donkeys and Glocks and uh I don't know

what oh miss marel you're still here oh

good would you do us a favor and dine

with us this evening oh well well that's

very kind of you I I'd rather think I'm

expected back at the Mana house well now

that I call Jolly unfair they've had you

to dinner every night I bet they could

stretch a point

do join us we've been having such an

interesting time Miss Barrow and I could

walk you over to the manor house after

dinner are you dining here tonight miss

marel well Miss Cook has very kindly

offered me a place at her

table well you know I I don't think the

Brad rots would mind in fact I think Mrs

Adams would be quite pleased not to have

to provide for an extra person well I'll

I'll telephone shall I and um thank you

so much I do hope to join

you and I shall will drive you back to

the manor house oh thank you I should be

glad of that yes why are you dining with

them because I think that I may learn

[Music]

something

[Music]

thank you Mrs

Adams oh Mrs Adams I'm afraid we should

need a fourth cup Miss marel should be

with us any

[Music]

moment

[Music]

and did you learn

something oh yes good night M marel good

night good

night well that was instructive yes yes

it

was

I do think it was peculiar of Jane marel

not to dine with us probably being

polight trying not to make a nuisance of

herself she had ample opportunity to see

her reduced to one servant I was rather

more to it than that I believe she said

she was hoping to learn something I wish

he played Bridge he being polite Vinnie

I

expect fed up with bazique will you stop

feding with that wretched

machine God God

God thank you Professor are you

absolutely sure oh I should be safe

enough

now

good ready

yes so you're off tomorrow miss marel

yes I've achieved what I came for my

little

commission really commission from

whom from Mr Rafi I feel I can tell you

now what was your commission such a

generous man I'm sorry what did he ask

you to do well he asked me or rather he

relied upon me to use my small gifts in

certain areas and he spoke of

justice that Justice roll down like the

water and righteousness like an

Everlasting

stream yes good Heavens you know I've

just realized how much I've imagined Mr

rafi's intentions in this matter but I I

feel sure I'm right isn't it

odd it all started with that poor

delightful girl Verity your

ward when Mr AI was dying he realized he

wanted Justice Done he wanted her

murderer brought to book at whatever

cost so he made some arrangements and do

you know now who the murderer

was yes I know

now well I'm sure we'll all be glad when

this business is cleared up who is

it it's a question of proof the burden

of

proof I dare say I should be able to dig

it up but but in the

meantime of

course T

sing

how did you get in Mrs Adam said she'd

put you out oh you're soak oh come on

Mrs Adams must have left a window open

we better go and check yes well it's

late I'll take this

through would you like a Milky drink

Miss

marel

[Music]

[Music]

good evening Miss Brad

briscott I saw your light on I uh

wondered if I had drunk my milky

drink what I haven't I'm

afraid I didn't think it'd be good for

me

I think you know what I

mean if you want some more milk I'll go

and get it for you I shouldn't drink it

if you

did what an extraordinary person you are

is this a little foible of yours or

what Once Upon a Time Miss Brad B Scott

a young girl lived in this house

well-loved

innocent untouched

too well-loved too innocent too

untouched so when a young man came to

claim her as you knew one day he must

her very innocence was a star which

guided her to love

him a miserable depraved

delinquent I don't want to talk about

this whatever he was you nurtured the

girl who believed him

redeemable she couldn't have

God knows what he must have said to her

my beautiful Splendid girl she couldn't

she'd have realized which you never gave

her the chance did

you the strength of Your Love must have

been frightening Miss Brad

briscott how did you kill

her

what Verity was found in a

ditch with her head

smashed do you

think loving that girl the way I loved

her do you think I could have done that

to

her no of course

not of course you

couldn't then what the hell are you

talking

about I'm talking about

vity not Mora Brent whom you battered to

death and then identified as Verity when

her body was

found what an act of sacrilege that must

have been to your

princess must have cost you dear

that you put Verity to

sleep just as she had woken to the

beauty of

life she was trying to escape the

servitude of Your Love she wanted a

normal woman's life she wanted reality

you returned her to fairy

land and

now and

now she's safe now from any unsuitable

princes sleeping beauty lies in the

ruins and flowers grow around

her

yes

yes no Miss Brad briscott she's a rotted

corpse and there is no one to kiss her

awake you foul old

woman

you

he you won't leave here

alive I believe I

[Music]

shall

so it's over at

last thank

[Music]

God

I'll go to my room

now if you don't

mind I'm sure that will be quite all

right you're

sure quite

sure

you

J

[Music]

no

[Music]

oh

no leave her

alone you can't help her

now never been happy

never even when she had Verity she was

terrified of losing

her she planted this this in her memory

I wanted her to get rid of it to try to

help her to forget she would never have

done

that this marks fed at his

grave that rather plain Stone in the

graveyard is where Nora Brent is

buried oh oh thank you L well

done we'll be away now Miss Marvel oh

goodbye goodbye and thank you so much

all the day work you know goodbye

goodbye goodbye oh Professor I want you

to meet my Guardian Angels by courtesy

of Mr Rafi Miss Cook and Miss B have

been my bodyguards most efficient nice

to met you Professor Miss Cook goodbye

Professor Miss Barett on your way then

Barett

the police have found this on cl's desk

from Elizabeth

Temple it confirms what you

thought it implicitly accuses clotel

Bradbury Scott of vit's murder it's

extraordinary she offers to help her

confess as if it

was I don't know something quite every

day and it cost her her life the man in

the cloth cap and the

sweater was

cled Miss Temple obviously couldn't

realize what danger such a letter would

put her in so Jason raffel's faith in

his son is Justified at last oh no

Professor I wasn't like that at all Mr

RI wanted Justice for the dead girl even

if it meant the sacrifice of his son do

you think he'd considered that oh yes I

flatter myself that's why he chose me he

knew I wouldn't flinch

even if it meant sending Michael to The

Gallows he called me Nemesis you know

and he wasn't being entirely

[Music]

humorous

[Music]

well you found

me what do you

want they know who murdered

Verity

[Music]

oh oh yes isn't it what a

paradise
