"Black Orchid" "Subtitles by Seglora" "Mrs Winnington?" "That's right" "Thank you" "Good Night" "Good Night" "From the Forest,Madam" "Thank you" "Anette,I think you missed one of the hooks at the back fix it for me,will you,please" "Certainly,Madam" "Has Dr Winnington arrived yet?" "No,Madam" "Really,it is too bad" "Yes,Madam,he promised faithfully to be back in time for your party tonight" "I've learned rather to not to take too much notice of his promises" "With so many admirers you don't need to worry too much about one husband" "That'll do,Anette" "I'm sorry,Madam,that's all right now,Madam" "Don't understand how anyone as attractive as you can be so casually treated" "It's not such a tragedy as all that" "I would do anything in the world for Madam,so should he" "I must say,Anette,I do like your new hairstyle" "Do you,Madam?" "I hope you don't mind" "Don't be silly,I'm flattered" "See who is at the door, it's probably Mr Blair" "Yes,Madam" "And Anette" "See if you can get the doctor on the phone for me,will you?" "Certainly,Madam" "Medical Ward" "Yes,Dr Winnington is here,I think he is with a patient at the moment who is speaking,please?" "If you hold the line I'll see if he will speak to you,Mrs Winnington" "Were there any other symptoms of raised temperature with abscess,Sister" "No doctor" "I see" "Yes,we'll get the injection ready,will you?" "Yes,doctor" "Doctor Winnington,your wife would like to talk to you,she's on the phone" "Tell her I call her back later,would you?" "Yes,doctor" "I think he'll sleep now" "Yes" "What chances do you think he's got,doctor?" "I don't know,Sister,we'll just have to wait" "When they heard that I got to go, there was just no holding they wouldn't go away, so I got hold up for weeks teaching the headman and six wives the samba" "Not like taking coals to Newcastle" "How long are you going to stay with us,this time?" "Just long enough to collect a few royalties I hope" "You'll be collecting them,all right" "It's the far in a way the most interesting travel book I read for years you must all place your orders now" "How lucky I am to have such enthusiastic publisher here" "Will you forgive me?" "I think you warmed enough to like Eric quite enough it's time his hostess has a chance to speak to him" "Of course,excuse me" "What's Sophie any news of John?" "He is still at the hospital" "If ever a man could work before his wife,that man is my husband" "His work certainly means lots to him" "I'm afraid I shall have to be going,Sophie" "Already" "I've got a pretty long drive ahead down to the cottage" "Eric,work" "Yes,Sir" "Those last two chapters,want to get it out by next month" "OK I'll do my best" "It's been a lovely evening,Sophie" "Good Night,give my regards to John, I'm so sorry to have missed him" "I will" "When you got something down on paper,bring it down to the office" "Sure,I'll have a talk with you" "Good Night,Good Night,old boy" "Good Night,Sophie" "Good Night" "Would you like,oh,excuse me a moment" "Yes" "Mrs Winnington" "Doctor Winnington is here now, just a minute,please" "Thank you,Nurse" "Hello,Sophie" "Did you forget we had a party tonight?" "Of course,I didn't forget,I was just not able to get away" "Well,but I think you might consider me a little" "I've been making excuses for you since 8 o'clock" "It's now nearly eleven" "I told you,John,I'm getting sick and tired of this casual treatment" "For heavens sake try to think for somebody's else for once in a while" "People's life are more important than cocktail parties" "No I can't leave just yet besides my car's broken down" "Just a minute,his car has broken down, be an angel and see if you can pick him up" "Yes,of course I will right away" "Eric is picking you up,you might at least get here to see your guests leave" "Good Bye" "How is the kid,John,is he going to recover?" "I think so" "I've been trying a new serum" "I think he's going to respond to" "Oh Good" "Sorry about the party tonight" "Don't apologize to me,old boy" "I didn't usurp to please her" "She doesn't understand" "I think you should make allowances,you know she is attractive,has lots of friends, people who could help you" "I don't need any help" "You could always use the money for your experiments,couldn't you?" "No I can manage" "Certain friends are not my kind" "Present company excepted,of course" "If Sophie could say that,thanks" "Where have you been?" "Eric left to fetch you one and half hour ago" "The patient's condition was very critical,I couldn't leave any earlier" "I'm sure you enjoy the excuse to humiliate me" "Is that all,Madam?" "Yes,that's all" "Put this in the refrigerator for me,will you?" "Certainly,Madam,Good Night" "Sophie" "Well" "I feel I must make it very clear to you that my work at the clinic comes before anything else" "We married on that understanding" "I know" "Doctor John Winnington a knight in shining armour,busy saving humanity" "This provident East End clinic" "You know nothing of my work at the clinic because you've never taken the trouble to find out" "I know if you spent a little less time there and a bit more on your practice,we could be living by Harley street by now" "What's the use" "We've been over all this before" "If you feel you can't accept things as they are,then there is only one solution" "I have thought about it" "I'm quite sure you have" "When I'm ready I'll divorce you" "Just now I'm not quite ready" "Good Night" "Thank you" "Telegram,Madam" "Thank you" "Where is it from?" "It's from Christine" "She is arriving at Victoria at 10 o'clock" "What are you doing this morning?" "My patients come in a few minutes,why?" "You'll have to meet her,it's nearly 9 now I shall never make it" "Yes,you will if you start at 9 o'clock on time" "Considering that my sister is coming all the way from South Africa to work for you,you might show at least some interest" "But I am showing interest but I tell you I have patients coming" "What's the use,Anette" "Come here and quickly give me a hand" "There is nothing to worry about,Mrs Gilpin" "But the palpitations,Doctor" "Palpitations?" "Oh,no,no" "I think we can put that down to indigestion" "I've given you a little something for that" "Here you are" "Thank you" "You come and see me in a couple of months time,I'll examine you again" "Thank you so much doctor in about two months then?" "That's right" "Thank you very much" "Good Day,doctor" "Good Day,Mrs Gilpin" "This is in?" "This has just arrived from the laboratory,doctor" "Thank you,will you show in next patient when he arrives?" "Yes,doctor" "Come in" "Sit down,will you" "Let me see," "Miss Miss" "You have an appointment?" "I hope so" "I beg you pardon" "I'm Christine" "Christine?" "Good heavens,I'm so sorry" "I suppose I've changed in eight years" "Sit there,I didn't even recognize you,forgive me" "Didn't say that we should meet you at the station?" "No,I only waited a few minutes,I thought, perhaps,the telegram arrived too late" "Do you know the last time I saw you you looked as you just stepped out of the 5th form of St. Trinian's" "How you changed!" "Is this where you work?" "Yes,here and in the laboratory" "We've heard all about you in Cape Town" "I heard quite a lot about you" "From Sophie?" "No,not from Sophie" "Who?" "From your research superintendent at the laboratory" "Christine!" "How are you?" "Sophie,how lovely to see you" "I am sorry I missed you at the train, now let me have a look at you" "She is quite beautiful,isn't she John?" "Don't embarrass the poor man" "Doesn't embarrass me at all,as you say Sophie,she is quite beautiful" "I'm sure you like to see your room,dear" "I'll show it to you," "BTW John,as it is such an occasion, perhaps you'll take us to lunch?" "I most certainly will" "No appointments?" "I saw old Butler coming in but I can cancel it" "It certainly is an occasion" "See you later" "Christine,come here" "Take a look at that" "That's the cause that kill four meningitis we've been working on" "Is the fatality percentage high?" "No,generally we can cure it but sometimes the fever returns just when the patient seems to be getting better" "We had some success with nicotine serum" "Anyway I think we are working on the right line" "I must be getting along" "Are you going to the clinic?" "Yes,I shan't need you there" "But you can come if you like" "Yes,I'd like to" "Christine,you won't forget to take those cartridges to the clinic,will you" "No,I'll do it tomorrow" "Anette,is Mrs Winnington home yet?" "Yes,Sir,she came in a few minutes ago, she is in the drawing room" "We'd better tell her we are going" "How's the work going?" "Pretty well I think" "I just heard from the Blakes,they invited me down to their house for the weekend" "They invited us really but I knew he'd be too busy" "I shall be going on my own" "That's funny I thought the Blakes were abroad" "Why not?" "They came back last Friday" "I'll catch the six o'clock from Paddington, I'm sure you two can manage on your own" "May I drive you there?" "Well,how considerate No thanks" "Now I must say Christine" "I think you are exercising a good influence before you arrived he never had the time" "Time for what?" "For anything that is anything conducive to his wife comfort" "I'm sure that's not true,Sophie" "No" "My dear you've been here a week" "I'm speaking for experience of ten years" "From more your work with it you more realize how difficult it is to live with the jinx,all we do" "John" "Yes" "Why don't you go with her anyway" "Because she doesn't want me to" "Why not?" "She isn't going to the Blakes,I happen to know they are abroad" "You sound as you don't care what she does" "Or what happens to her" "I wouldn't say that, she is my wife,isn't she?" "But you know how things are between us,and you should" "Must say it's pretty obvious" "I'd ask her for a divorce but she refuses" "At the moment anyway" "She prefers to string a line her own way" "For the time being it suits her purpose to be married to me" "And you're quite content to let it go at that" "No I'm not,until such time has" "Has?" "Never mind" "I'm sorry" "Hello,Sophie" "You are back late today,darling" "John,thinks it will only be a few days more now and we'll have the whole thing implemented" "Where is John?" "He's coming in" "Christine,now that John's research is nearly finished" "I suppose you'd be looking around for a new position" "There is a good opening in Edinburgh" "I believe for a person with your qualifications not that we don't love having you here,darling,of course but you'll have your own career to think about and" "And?" "I don't think Christine wants to leave us,Sophie" "As far as I am concerned the sooner the better" "Why?" "Because I'm beginning to feel an intruder in my own house" "I'm sure he's told you what a terrible wife I am" "Sophie,don't be ridiculous" "Ridiculous?" "It is clear he hasn't told you anything how I've never take a slightest interest in his work how he begged me for a divorce how I refused to give it to him" "hasn't he told you all that?" "No" "You are lying" "Sophie" "You are lying" "And deep in your scheming little head, you hated me,haven't you?" "For heavens sake what's the matter with you" "There is nothing that matters with me" "Don't you do yourself up about that" "I've taken a more of an interest in you two in the last few weeks than either of you can imagine" "And so,I'm afraid has a detective agency" "I didn't divorce you because it didn't quite fit in with my plans at the time you suggested now it does" "I'm going to divorce you" "And I think I can quite safely cite my own sister" "Does that suits both of you?" "You haven't an honest thread of evidence to support that" "Honest evidence,my dear I despise you both and I should use any kind of evidence" "All I'm interested in now is the result" "I want my freedom,and if in the course of getting it you suffer,I should have given it a thought,I promise you" "I can understand your feelings towards me but what in the world has Christine done?" "Nothing,nothing I care about, nothing beyond stealing my husband but I don't really mind about that" "Christine is a stranger to me" "I haven't seen her for eight years" "Is there any love between us,Christine?" "Can you honestly give me one good reason why you should have any more consideration than any other woman?" "I'm very sorry" "I don't really mind,John" "There's never been much love lost between Sophie and me" "I never realized that she was quite like this" "Christine" "This isn't a very happy time to say it but I've" "I know,darling" "I know" "I got your copy here,Eric,waited a long time,haven't you?" "Six months" "That's practically instantaneous in the publishing world believe me" "It took Vincent a day to make up his mind about it and twelve months to bring it out" "Let's drink to its success,shall we?" "Has Eric told you about his next trip?" "Yes,Tibet,he is having inoculations for it" "He can't be in one place for long,can he?" "Well,cheers" "Quite a day,John" "For you too?" "Well,Eric is referring to my divorce, I expect to have the result today" "Let's drink to that too" "I want to talk to you about that experimental work of yours" "You should take it to print, publicity for you" "That's what I think" "Thanks all the same,Vincent, think I have had enough publicity for quite a long time" "But I must be going back to clinic" "You are to get an inoculation on Thursday,will you?" "I will have a go" "Good Bye Vincent" "Good Bye" "That's Sophie's car" "I wonder what on earth is she doing here" "Phelps,is Mrs Winnington here?" "Yes,Sir,she is upstairs with her maid" "I see" "Excuse me Sir" "I don't know whether I did the right to allow her to come in but she was very insistent" "You know that blue coat of mine, Anette,the one with the hood" "Yes,Madam" "You can have it if you like" "Thank you,Madam" "You've been very good to me,I'm sorry of going" "That's sweet of you" "You can join me later" "In Cape Town,Madam?" "In Cape Town" "What are you doing here?" "You can wait for me downstairs,Anette" "Yes,Madam" "Just collecting a few of my belongings before my sister gets her hand on it" "I can assure you everything would be packed up and sent on to you" "I'm just saving you the trouble,aren't I?" "I'm sure you don't want to keep anything that might remind you of me" "Is Christine staying here?" "You know very well she has a flat of her own" "How very moral" "Is she here now?" "Yes,she is" "If you want to collect anything else of you I would prefer another time" "Sometime when I'm at the hospital all day" "I don't think we could gain very much by seeing each other" "I'm sure we can't but there won't be much danger after tomorrow I'm leaving for South Africa" "I wish you the best of luck,Sophie" "Well,thank you" "You can go back now" "John" "Yes,darling" "I've got something to tell you" "What is it,Christine" "Your solicitor just telephoned, the divorce went through" "Than Goodness for that" "Christine" "Yes,darling" "I've got something to tell you too" "There is not going to be very much money under the terms of divorce settlement set against most what I have" "Do you think I mind?" "No,no,of course not but you see the thing is having made her a very large settlement, she is now claiming a third of my income" "It really doesn't matter,darling, we have each other" "Yes,we have" "How touchy" "So now you are getting married" "Or think you will" "Why do you hate us so much?" "You don't want John" "Neither have any of us really done anything to hurt you except" "Except?" "Wound your vanity perhaps" "You got all you want now,Sophie" "Yes,I got all I want,I also got a little piece of information for you as a matter of fact I'm rather surprised you hadn't thought of it yourselves" "I suppose you have been too wrapped up in each other to think of anything practical" "You see you can't marry" "What?" "Christine happens to be the sister of your divorced wife" "The Law doesn't allow it" "Yes,I regret to say that the Law is quite explicit on that point,doctor" "As a matter of fact it is not that widely known in the general public" "This Law says that the man may not marry the sister of his divorced wife while that wife is still alive" "Then I suppose nothing could be done" "Nothing I'm afraid unless your wife should die" "There have been efforts to get this Law appealed personally I think it should be, but that is merely an opinion" "Doubtless they all eventually would do something about it" "I'm very sorry,Dr Winnington,since there is nothing more I can do for you" "Excuse me will you" "Hello" "Yes,he is here but for you" "Hello" "Hello,Christine" "John what did you find out?" "I'm afraid she was right" "Hello,Christine" "That's Sophie's case,isn't it?" "She came with Anette to collect a few things" "Hello" "What a day" "Anette" "Yes,Madam" "Is the car here?" "Car,Madam?" "I told you to book the car and take me to the station" "No Madam" "Don't argue with me,I did" "Don't just stand there go and get a taxi" "What's the matter,Sophie" "Feel a little faint" "I shall be all right in a minute" "I'll get you something" "Don't bother" "Can I do anything,Sophie?" "Christine,don't be sentimental" "Sophie,this isn't a very happy parting" "Whose fault is that?" "Here,drink this" "What is it?" "Never mind,drink it" "Well" "I'm sorry Madam,I can't find a taxi anywhere" "I shall miss my train,where is my case" "Sophie,let me drive you to the station" "No,the less I see of you the better I like it" "I shall be late" "You send the rest of my things on?" "Of course,Madam" "I hope you enjoy your freedom" "Too bad you can't do anything about it now isn't it?" "Bye Anette" "Good Luck,Madam" "May I take that please" "I'll get my coat" "Well,that's that" "Do you know what we need?" "A nice long drink" "That's a good idea" "Come on I'll get it for you" "Yes,that's my wife" "Thank you,Sir" "Is there anything else?" "No,I don't think so,Sir,not for the moment anyway" "You said she wasn't looking well when she left the house?" "She looked very ill,I wanted to go with her" "I won't trouble you any more today Sir" "I'll be glad if you called at Sutton Station in the morning" "What for?" "Just a few routine questions, you know,shall we say eleven o'clock?" "Very well" "Hello,Ted" "What can we do for you?" "Here is the street accident this morning" "Yes" "Got the report of it here,I like you to have a look of it if you would" "You'd better have another track of this,Hawkins and try to get it right this time,will you?" "Yes,Sir" "One of the things I don't quite understand" "Let's have a look at it then" "What is it ,Sergeant" "A lady here wants to see the Inspector" "She says she is Mrs Winnington's maid" "It's a lady,Sir she is very insistent on seeing you, she says she is Mrs Winnington's maid" "All right,show her in" "Yes,Sir" "Will you come in,please" "I have come to make a statement" "Yes,well,perhaps you like to make it sitting down,Miss?" "Durrant,Anette Durrant" "Miss Durrant" "What do you know about Dr Winnington?" "Not very much" "What do you think we ought to know?" "I think you should know he hated his wife" "I gather that the marriage wasn't a very happy one seeing they were divorced three days ago" "My mistress was always very devoted to Dr Winnington" "It was not her fault that the marriage was not successful" "She suffered for many years as a result of his neglect" "She was a very lonely woman" "I was her only friend" "I see" "How long had you been with the Winningtons?" "Five years" "Perhaps you would be interested to know that Dr Winnington intended to marry again" "Yeah" "He had hoped to marry his sister in law" "But that was not possible while his wife remained alive" "Madam knew that, that is why he killed her" "Seeing he was within a half a mile of her when she died,how do you know he killed her" "He didn't tell you how she left the house" "Yes?" "About the stuff he gave her to drink" "Miss Durrant,you realize that you are making a very serious accusation?" "Of course" "I take it you have no objections making a formal statement" "None" "Sergeant Hawkins take Miss Durrant to the other office will you please I'd like her to wait in there" "Will you come this way,please,Miss" "She might be exaggerating,of course still a post mortem should clear things up, you'd better arrange one right away" "We find the deceased met her death by nicotine poisoning my verdict is that the deceased was murdered in this way by some person or persons unknown" "Dr Winnington" "Yes" "Will you be good enough to come along with me to Sutton Road,Sir" "There are one or two things I shall like to ask you" "Do you want me to come now?" "If you don't mind,Sir" "Eric,would you mind driving Christine home,do you?" "Of course I'll do" "What can they want you for?" "I don't know,darling, it can't be very serious" "I'll be back before long" "Doctor Winnington is it true that the relationship between you and your wife was very bad" "Well,I wouldn't say bad just wasn't good" "But you did quarrel frequently with her" "Yes,quite frequently" "Violent quarrels?" "No,no the were rather bitter sometimes but I wouldn't call them violent" "Miss Durrant has made a statement, I'll read a part of it to you" ""Mrs Winnington was always very unhappy and I heard her husband on many occasions shouting at her and once I distinctly and threatened her life there were times my mistress wanted to run away because she was afraid he might do her some injury" "many times she told me she thought he would kill her"" "Is that true?" "There is not an atom of truth in it" "But why should your wife's maid want to lie on lots of thing like this can you suggest any reasons?" "I don't know,really she idealized my wife so it was only natural for her to defend her from time to time" "Sophie was very good to her" "I understand that you planned to marry your wife's sister" "That's correct" "Under the existing law you realize of course that would have been impossible" "I do" "But it doesn't apply now after your wife's death" "I realize that too" "Doctor Winnington in the experimenting sometimes in getting a cure for meningitis" "I understand you succeeded in arriving in a satisfactory conclusion" "Yes I think I have" "Including a serum which contains certain poison compounds" "That's right,yes" "Nicotine for instance?" "Yes" "When you gave your wife this draft could you have given her any of the other by mistake?" "I gave her chloral" "On the other hand if you had known that your wife was leaving the country and you intended to do something about it" "You're suggesting that I gave her poison" "As this was my last chance of being completely free" "You are obviously basing your suspicion on the evidence of Miss Durrant" "I don't think you would find her a very reliable witness" "No,perhaps not,she is certainly prejudiced but you heard the coroner's verdict this afternoon,Dr Winnington my job now is to find a motif for that act and nobody had a better one than yourself" "I have nothing further to add to what I've already told you" "May I go now?" "Yes,you may go" "Thank you Phelbs" "They can't suspect John,it's ridiculous" "You don't seriously think" "Unfortunately my dear we both saw him give her that draft" "But we knew what it was" "We believed we know but we couldn't tell the coroner that we couldn't stand up there say that it was chloral something because we believed it was" "We have to admit that we didn't know" "And that did not help John's case after Anette's evidence" "You think he is arrested on a foregone conclusion" "Here he is now" "Eric,you don't seriously think that John killed her?" "Of course not" "Hello John" "Hello" "How did it get down?" "They are building up a pretty case against me,it will be any moment" "John" "Hello,darling" "Well,John,yes,poor old John" "I think he didn't do it" "The evidence seems to be pretty conclusive" "Yes ,Anette's evidence was damning" "You think she was lying?" "Not entirely,there was a vestige of truth in everything she said" "Excuse me Sir,I got the secretary of the Chiltern Plage on the phone" "Yes" "She wants to know whether you could send your exhibits a day early" "Yes,that's be all right" "Quite a hobby of yours,flowers" "Yes I'm writing a book on hybrids" "Think of ever getting it published?" "Get out of here" "Eric" "What it is Christine" "Do you see this" "You read that she said she was leaving for South Africa the day she died" "And she was supposed to be travelling alone" "Two staked rooms are marked on this brochure" "If she took them both somebody must have been travelling with her" "We got to find out who that someone is" "Shouldn't be difficult,come on let's go down to the travel agency" "Yes,Miss Hathaway I have arranged first class sleeper" "And the bed is quite comfortable?" "Yes.Mrs Hathaway" "And I suppose the train does stop at Paddington station" "Oh yes.Mrs Hathaway" "You are quite sure now?" "Well,if it doesn't,Mrs Hathaway,it will be the most almighty,yes Mrs Hathaway" "Oh good,thank you so much,Good Bye" "Good Bye" "What can I do for you,Sir" "Can you tell me if you have two staked rooms booked in the name of Winnington" "SS Station sailing July the 1st" "SS Station July the 1st" "Have you the number of the staked rooms?" "13 and 14 B deck" "Numbers 13 14 B deck" "Oh yes,they are booked together" "One for Mrs Winnington the other Mr Daggenham" "Mr Daggenham cancelled his Beth on 30th June by phone" "Do you have his address?" "I'm afraid not,Sir,Mrs Winnington made the reservations" "I see,thank you very much" "Thank you Sir" "If this Mr Daggenham is travelling with her why did he made the cancellation at the last moment?" "Perhaps he changes his mind about going with her" "Or because he knew she was not going to travel at all" "Yes that makes sense" "Come on let's get own to Sutton Road" "We would investigate this man Daggenham apparently someone using that name cancelled the booking on June the 30th" "Did you find him?" "I'm afraid not" "We made exhaustive enquiries questioning several possible persons with that name but I'm afraid we drew a blank" "This person,she was going away with was obviously used the name to cover his real identity" "You are only assuming she was going away with somebody she made the bookings herself" "Isn't it obvious,she couldn't use two staked rooms" "I agree" "But I'm afraid you seriousness is a bit fanciful Miss Shaw" "This person,whoever he is,may have going away with her" "I'm afraid that is something we should never know but even if we do find him there isn't a slightest justification of suspecting him of murder simply because he cancelled the booking" "What about the time element in this?" "The stuff that killed her had a delayed action effect,didn't it?" "That is correct" "According to medical evidence at the trial it could have been given at any time up to three hours before her death" "Yes,that's true" "Have you been able to account for everything she did during that time?" "You heard the evidence of the maid at the trial" "Mrs Winnington was at her flat" "Yes,yes we know all about that but are you satisfied that she was a reliable witness" "Mr Blair,we are quite satisfied there is nothing to support the view that the maid's evidence was unreliable" "She was certainly never discredited" "Personally I think she was lying to protect her mistress reputation" "I believe that in these two hours we are discussing" "Mrs Winnington left her flat and went to meet the man who calls himself Daggenham" "If there had been one witness to support your view" "I would certainly reopen the case but failing that witness we have to rely on the only evidence available" "I'm sorry,I really am sorry for as far as this piece concerned the case is closed" "I'll show you out" "All right,Christine" "It looks like we shall have to fend for ourselves" "Yes" "If only we could find Anette" "I'm sure you are right she knows a lot more than she relieved at the trial" "Let's try the employment agency they might give us a lead" "Could you do it?" "I commissioned to see John today will you drop me" "Yes of course,of course" "Sit down there" "Hello" "Hello" "They just told me the result of the appeal" "I know I've heard" "But don't give up hope,darling" "I'm afraid there isn't any hope" "Darling,listen to me" "We haven't much time" "You know we talked about Sophie going away for weekends" "And the excuses she gave" "Yes" "Haven't you any idea who it might have been?" "No,I haven't" "Please try to think,darling, it may be terrible important" "But why?" "There is a reason,Eric and I think whoever it was might have killed her" "Have you ever heard of a man called Daggenham?" "Daggenham?" "No" "Are you sure?" "Yes quite sure" "John" "Look darling" "I want you to go now" "But John" "You've done all you can" "Remember I love you" "I love you too" "Sir John couldn't help us" "What are we going to do there is so a little time" "I know I know" "It all depends on Anette now" "That's if we can make her talk" "Was she very difficult to trace?" "Not really if you enquires in the right direction that's all" "Here we are now" "Eric,I think I'd better go in alone" "Well I'll wait in the car" "Yes?" "Anette" "I'm so glad we found you" "Anette" "What do you want?" "I must speak to you" "What is it?" "Did you ever know of any of Mrs Winnington's men friends" "Mrs Winnington had a great many admirers,I'll get you a coffee" "Did you ever know one called Daggenham?" "I really can't say I don't remember names" "Anette,this is so important you must try and help me" "Why should I help you?" "There is you and the doctor that killed her" "No you are wrong,it was the man who called himself Daggenham,we've got to find him" "Please,Anette I'll give you anything you want to help me" "Can you bring her back?" "I think you are lying,I think there was only one man" "One man?" "She was always getting presents beautiful jewellery,expensive flowers,orchids" "Orchids,Anette" "A black orchid?" "I don't wish to discuss her with you" "I couldn't get anything out of her" "As soon as I mentioned the orchids she shut up" "Black orchid?" "Sophie was wearing one on the day she died" "Yes" "Chris I got an idea" "What is it?" "I should have thought of it before, I'm going to take you home" "Mr Eric Blair,Sir" "Hi Vincent" "Hi Eric" "Where have you been hiding yourself" "Have you found a new publisher?" "No,I've been with Christine,Sophie's sister,trying to find a lead to help John" "Playing detective?" "Yeah,so far unsuccessfully,I'm afraid" "BTW I heard you won the first price at the Horticultural show" "Yes,I was lucky" "I am only an amateur" "You and your wife spend most of your time down the cottage,don't you?" "For my wife stays over summer,I haven't been there since the end of June BTW" "It was the weekend that Sophie was killed" "I remember reading it out to my wife in the Sunday papers" "Isn't that an ecco bella?" "Yes" "I haven't seen one since I was in Peru" "Beautiful isn't it" "Quite lovely those South American species" "Yes indeed" "Have you seen my orchids?" "No" "Black orchids" "The only ones in the world" "The flower is quite unique" "Humphries is the only one with that particular specimen apparently they don't survive more than a few hours in normal temperature" "And if Humphries gave it to her she must have seen him on the morning she was killed" "He said he was at his cottage" "We'll soon know about that" "Hello,someone there" "Mr Blair" "How are you,hope you don't mind us trampling in like this" "Of course not, how nice to see you" "This is Christine Shaw,Mrs Humphries" "How do you do" "How do you do" "Do come in,you can have some tea,won't you?" "Lovely" "Thank you" "It's a tiny cottage" "Yes it is,isn't it,but do sit down" "Thanks" "There is still a lot to do but I gather to get everything straight" "Are you all alone here today,Mrs Humphries?" "Yes,Vincent up in town of course" "Pretty busy these days,isn't he?" "Very busy,you know it is nearly three months since he was last here" "What a pity" "Oh dear,I was forgetting it's no good sitting here waiting for the maid to bring the tea because it's her afternoon off so, will you excuse me" "Three months" "Yes,quash his alibi,doesn't it" "What now" "Back to London" "To.." "No,to his house" "His house" "Eric,what a pleasant surprise" "We are on our way Chichester before we dropped in to see your wife" "How very thoughtful of you" "Vincent,this is Miss Shaw" "Yes,Eric told me about you" "May I say how very sorry I was to hear about your sister" "Thank you" "Tragic that it should be her own husband" "I don't think it was him,Mr Humphries" "Really?" "But I thought the police" "Here I am" "Vincent" "What a lovely surprise,I had no idea" "I find I had a free afternoon" "You are staying tonight,aren't you?" "Of course" "That's fine" "What a co-incidence" "I was telling Mr Blair what a long time it is since you were here last" "Yes,it has been a long time,it was the Friday of the week your sister died" "But darling sure" "You are forgetting the June" "But surely I wouldn't have forgotten that,would I Mr Blair?" "Eric will bear me out, remember I told you" "Only last night" "There you are my dear" "I could have sworn" "Once memory does play odd tricks sometimes" "The 30th of June?" "But that was my sister's birthday and she was staying down here with me" "I'll go and get a cloth" "I'll get it" "No,you stay here" "A curious thing" "Yes,wasn't it" "Will you have another cup of tea,Mr Blair?" "No thank's,we really should be going, otherwise we'll never get there" "So soon" "I'm afraid we must" "What a pity,I wanted to show you the garden" "Never mind,some other time,perhaps" "Yes,do" "Proud of having gardening to do one day a week" "Thank you so much" "It's been lovely to have you" "Do come and see us again, we doesn't see anybody here" "You are off?" "Yes,I'm afraid so" "Your quickest way to Chichester is to go over Black Thorn Hill" "Thinking of going the London road,thank's very much" "We'll do that" "Don't forget over Black Thorn Hill" "OK,see you soon" "His on this" "Yes,I'm afraid he is" "What can we do?" "No use going to the police" "Can't think why he did it" "If he wanted to get rid of her,why not let her go?" "That's what I'd done" "Suppose he changed his mind so he wasn't going he's got quite a position to keep up,you know she could have made thing pretty tricky for him" "So little time" "What can we do" "I'd like to get into that house of his might be something there that will give us a lead" "Such as?" "Nicotine" "Nicotine?" "Yes,I wonder if he uses the stuff on his plants" "Something wrong?" "Yes,the brakes" "How do you feel?" "How long have I been here?" "About 2 hours" "What happened to Christine" "She is quite all right,now don't worry,just relax" "Sister" "When you feel a little stronger there is a police constable outside who'd like to have a word with you" "Yes,show him in,I want to talk to him" "You just rest quietly,he can talk" "You don't understand" "I must talk to him now" "Very well" "Nurse ask him to come in,will you?" "You must lie very quiet" "Where is this place?" "This is Low End cottage hospital" "How far away from London?" "Not far" "Don't keep him too long,Constable he shouldn't be answering questions at all,really" "Right sister" "Sir,we got a good look at your car,what's left of it the brake pipe lines has been fractured, probably by a stone" "It was not a stone,it was cut, deliberately,he meant to kill us" "Where is Christine?" "You can't see her now" "She is not?" "She had a very lucky escape, she was discharged a little while ago" "Is that true?" "She left this note for you" ""You still hadn't come round when they let me go." "I'm going to find out what I can before he gets there"" "Listen, get on to the CID at Sutton Road Police Station tell them to go round Vincent Humphries house 21 Colliston Square he murdered Sophie Winnington,he'll do the same to this girl if he finds her there" "Police can't force an entry without a warrant" "Tell them to get one,for peace sake,hurry" "You do yourself a long harm" "That's the one,Sir" "Sutton Road,CID" "If you pardon me,Sir there is a man here who wants you to arrest a man called Humphries before he kills a girl" "What the devil are you talking about?" "Well,Sir,it's like this, there is a man in here who has a nasty case of concussion he was driving along a road with a girl, when the brakes failed" "You can tell you little concussion case that we are far too busy to go busting into respectable houses in order to please him,got it" "What was all that fuss about?" "Some nut with concussion, a bloke called Blair" "Blair" "Well,you can guess" "Hawkins" "You are getting better" "Sorry,Sir" "What does he want?" "And they didn't believe a word" "Look here,Sir" "I get it" "Now you did promise you'd be quiet after he phoned" "All right,I'm sorry,all must me a mistake" "You'll feel so much better after a little sleep" "Yes,sister" "Looking query,you know" "Concussion cases you know" "They get all sorts of wild ideas sometimes" "If you like,we'll get you a cup of tea,do you" "Thanks" "Honesty,you are awful" "It was nearly 2 o'clock when we got back" "You can't do that" "What?" "They say this man,Blair, stole an ambulance" "Give it to me" "Good Evening" "Good Evening,Miss" "Mr Humphries asked me to call" "He is not in now,Miss,he won't be back until late" "I'll come in and wait" "Well" "I'm his secretary" "All right" "I suppose he is all right" "Will you be able to be alone" "Certainly" "It's my day off,I'll have to leave you" "I'll be all right" "Admiring my orchids?" "It's as shame to pick them, they seldom lasts" "Why didn't you know that?" "The one you gave Sophie lasted" "You are mistaken" "I value my orchids too highly to give them away" "You are lying" "She took it like everything else she could lay her hands on" "You did kill her" "Yes" "You planned to run away with her" "That's was her idea" "I wasn't so enthusiastic" "I was foolish enough to start an flirtation" "When I came to my senses I realized she had only to open her mouth to make my life most uncomfortable for me" "I had to pretend the girl a way to keep her quiet" "Look at them,exquisite flower" "Ten years it took me to perfect them" "She had nothing to lose,I had everything, my family,my position,my flowers even" "As if I give up all that for the pleasure of exiling myself with her" "You know that another man is going to die for what you did" "Yes,I'm sorry but I liked him,I like you too" "I tried to reach her but on the day she died she came round and made a scene" "There was only one thing to do, we drank to the future" "My future,Miss Shaw" "Anette" "I go to save him to be hanged, I didn't kill him for your sake" "Christine" "Are you all right,Christine" "Yes I am all right" "Why Anette?"
