I don't understand. 884 01:16:52,316 --> 01:16:56,025 I spent three years watching penny die, mrs appleby. 885 01:16:56,237 --> 01:16:57,602 Little by little. 886 01:16:57,822 --> 01:16:59,938 When her mother died, she was all alone. 887 01:17:00,157 --> 01:17:02,398 For a girl like penny, that was unbearable. 888 01:17:03,786 --> 01:17:06,903 Finally I couldn't stand it any longer, so I wrote to her father. 889 01:17:07,123 --> 01:17:08,988 You wrote to him here? Yes. 890 01:17:09,333 --> 01:17:11,824 And he answered. He said that she couldn't come here just then 891 01:17:12,002 --> 01:17:13,993 because something strange was happening. 892 01:17:14,213 --> 01:17:15,669 But he didn't say anything to me. 893 01:17:15,881 --> 01:17:18,293 He'd hardly have told you, mrs appleby. 894 01:17:18,467 --> 01:17:20,423 It was you that he was disturbed about. 895 01:17:21,095 --> 01:17:24,007 Penny finally stopped struggling against life. 896 01:17:24,223 --> 01:17:28,432 She... she slipped out of the cabin one night and drowned herself. 897 01:17:30,396 --> 01:17:33,854 Two weeks later, I opened a letter that arrived for her. 898 01:17:34,066 --> 01:17:36,022 Please come home, penny. 899 01:17:36,235 --> 01:17:40,274 I have always wanted you here. Signed, father. 900 01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:44,323 Penny was dead, mrs appleby. And her father knew it. 901 01:17:44,577 --> 01:17:45,942 But how did he know? 902 01:17:46,162 --> 01:17:49,700 I told him myself. I spoke to him on the phone the night that penny died. 903 01:17:49,915 --> 01:17:51,155 You spoke to him here? 904 01:17:51,375 --> 01:17:54,208 Yes. That's when he told me about his friend. 905 01:17:54,420 --> 01:17:55,876 What friend? Who? 906 01:17:56,088 --> 01:17:58,625 Can't you guess, mrs appleby? 907 01:18:00,593 --> 01:18:03,926 - Pierre. - That's right. Dr Gerrard. 908 01:18:05,181 --> 01:18:08,594 Then when this letter arrived with your husband's signature on it, 909 01:18:08,809 --> 01:18:12,848 I knew that something must be wrong because he knew that penny was dead. 910 01:18:13,063 --> 01:18:16,806 So I contacted dr Gerrard, and he and I decided what to do. 911 01:18:18,903 --> 01:18:22,020 - You are not crippled. - No. 912 01:18:23,115 --> 01:18:26,528 I'm not.

She left me well provided for. 919 01:18:48,557 --> 01:18:50,593 - Are you Robert, the chauffeur? - Yes, sir. 920 01:18:50,809 --> 01:18:52,925 I'm spratt, mr appleby's solicitor. 921 01:18:53,145 --> 01:18:55,386 I've just left mrs appleby.
