"I'd offer you tea, but you won't be long, I'd imagine." " Can we see your aunt's room?" " That won't be possible." "Let me rephrase that." "Show us her room, Miss Franklin." "Dad, we've got visitors." "It's his lungs." "Dad's always suffered with them." "When your aunt died... nothing struck you as odd?" "Up you come." "There was nothing left in here?" "Nothing out of place?" "Like what?" "Like a bird." "I left the window open." "The poor thing got trapped." "How could you possibly know that?" "Are you going to have a lovely bath with your duckie?"

"Jerry might be a few threads short of a jumper, but it corroborates what he saw." "I was ready to kill him." "Yeah, I knew it would happen." "You find out what it means to be a father." "The killer's getting revenge for this Bonnie." "So he drowns Terence Atwell... and he kills Ivy Franklin." "She died in her sleep." " We don't know that for sure." " And we're never likely to, are we?" "What if I say no?" "Well, then, we'd have to wonder why." "Mr Finch will be with you the entire time." "It will be done in the most respectful of ways." "Digging her up, cutting her open?" "Respectful?" "If... her death was unnatural, wouldn't you rather know?" "If it were me... if it were my aunt," "I'd want to know."

"And whether we die, we die unto the Lord." "Please." "I hear we owe you a great debt, Mr Finch." "I don't know about that." "My predecessor was something of a scoundrel, by all accounts." "But you stood up to him like Jesus to the money-lenders." "I was a little less erudite than Jesus." "I think the same could be said of all of us." "You have been doing a sterling job... .. in most areas." "Oh, dear." "Is it the Russian literature?" "I have a habit of referring to books which no person in their right mind would be interested in." "It is a... privileged position we find ourselves in." "Working with the vulnerable, the needy." "Undoubtedly." "I understand that you were acquaintances with a known homosexual." "Befriending those whom society rejects is at the heart of Christ's mission." "But... if that friendship becomes... too close..." "One day, we hope to see you in a parish of your own." "With a family of your own." "Perhaps." "Y-yes." "I see that, too." "Two former employees." "Dr Atwell and Ivy Franklin, both killed." "Odds on, it's to do with this place." "Has Mother sent for me?" "Dot." "Dot." "Remember what we said." "Please, sir, help me!" "Give us a ciggie." " Er..." "Oh." "He's given up." " Why have you given up?" " It's for a woman." " It's not for a woman." "Andrew?" "What did we say?" " Fingers on lips." " Fingers on lips." "Veronica Stone." "Please."

"TB wing." "I wouldn't, if I were you." "Shame, isn't it?" "Old age." "Happens to the best of us." "Now, what would you say if we told you it wasn't old age?" "I'd say you were having me on." "Don't you recognise it?" "We found this in Ivy's grave." "We don't have toys here." "Who's Bonnie?" "I don't know a Bonnie." "You've never had a resident by that name?" "I don't know any Bonnie." "Then you won't mind if we have a look through your records." "Look all you like." "It's no skin off my nose." "No-one's kitchen makes sense to anyone but themselves, don't you find?" "Are you spying on me?" "No." "No." "Why did you burn the letter?" "And I thought you were here because you wanted to be." "So, where did this letter come from?" "He was at Aunt Ivy's funeral." "People were ever so generous." "We made nearly £30 for the home." "But then I saw the letter." "It was addressed to you." "I don't know why, but I took it from the collection plate." "I think you do." "I think you know why." "Aunt Ivy held it against the stove when I broke a dinner plate." "I was 12 at the time." "You kept the letter because you feared what it said about her?" "I showed Dr Atwell." "He told me to keep it to myself." "Ivy was dead." "What good was it going to do?" "What did it say?" "That she was going to hell." "That you needed to look at the home." "That something had to be done." "And there was no name?" "No signature?" "Well, that's why he's targeting you." "Because nothing was done." "There was bugger all in the file she gave me." "Well, bugger all of use, anyway." "Does this place look like it's had £30 spent on it recently?" "Hmm." "She's not doing too badly for herself." "She's not gonna tell us anything." " We're not gonna ask, are we?" " No." "Five minutes." "Has Mother sent for me?" " Where's Mother?" " Shh!" "I want Mother!" "Help!" "It's all right." "You're all right." "We're going to be trouble now." "Bonnie liked birds cos they could fly away." "You knew her." "Andrew, did you know her?" "Fingers on lips." "Fingers on lips." "I'm here day in, day out." "Feeding them, clothing them." "Cleaning up their filth." "These codes." "What do they mean?" "It's Dr Atwell's system." "It's before my time." "No-one else cleans up their filth." "No-one else gives a damn!" "I try!" "I do!" "Not hard enough." "Spoke to her boss." "Oh, Miss Stone's doing a stand-up job under difficult circumstances, apparently." "Difficult circumstances?" "For the residents, maybe." "The killer has been in that home." "He's seen what's happening." " Are you having a ciggie?" " No..." " No fondling the girlfriend." " All above the jumper, don't worry." "Any luck?" "Oh er..." "I close my eyes and all I see is numbers." "I'll have a look if you like." "I was always good at maths." "'If Alan eats three oranges and five apples, what does he have?" "' and all that." "Indigestion, by the sound of it." "Cathy?" "Margaret, this is my wife, Cathy." " How do you do?" " How do you do?" "I'm working!" "I don't know why I bother." "Oh, Cathy, come on." "Cathy." "Esme's teacher phoned." "She didn't go to school today." "She's fine." "She's making scones." "She's fine." "She's making scones." "You tell her she's in for a hiding!" " Tell her she's in for a hiding." " I'm not gonna do that." "Goodbye." " Is Dad cross?" " He'll calm down." "He's cross all the time nowadays." "He doesn't like Mum any more." "They fight all the time." "Grown-ups do, sometimes." "It doesn't mean they don't love each other." "Hey..." "Esme." "Don't cry." "I want them to be happy again." "Maybe if you talked to your dad?" "Do you want me to talk to him?" "It would break his heart to know how unhappy you are." "He'd move heaven and earth to make it better." "That's his job, isn't it?" "To make sure you're happy, at any cost?" "You're doing the face." "Dad calls it your faraway face." "The first two numbers never go higher than 31." "It's a date." "The day." "The next two numbers are the month," " so 2-3-0-3 is -- - 23rd of March." "Patient's date of birth." "What about these other four numbers?" "Initials, I think." "A is 01, B is 02." "So anyone called Bonnie, the fifth and sixth numbers would be 02." "B for Bonnie." "You're wasted in that typing pool." "Don't I know it?" "B08." "Bonnie H." "Vicarage?" "'If there's a god, why is there evil?" "And if God made us in his image, why are we sinners?" "'" "Bonnie was your daughter." "'Maybe God was right."

"Sidney." "Sidney..." " It's Harland!" " I know." "No!" "She's not breathing." "It's what they did to Bonnie." "It's how they punished her." "Apologise." "It's how they killed her." " You all knew!" " I didn't know." "Her heart gave out, they said." "But Andrew saw!" "I didn't know." "An angel, you called that bitch!" "Hey." "I never saw the letter." "What angel buries a child and won't tell her father where she is?" "Come on!" "Dr Atwell was as responsible as Ivy Franklin for my daughter's death." "You had a choice." "You didn't have to put her in there." "A widower, bringing up a feeble-minded girl alone?" "They didn't give me a choice." "Where did they take Bonnie after she died, Andrew?" "You can talk." "There's no-one to stop you." "They buried Bonnie here." "They put them all here." "I don't know what to do with myself." "I've spent so long taking care of everyone else." "You know, I've never even been to the Orchard tea-rooms." "I'll take you." "Oh, you... you don't have to do that." "We could take a boat down the river." "Sometimes I wonder if I'm afraid to be happy." "Not sure I deserve it." "Contentment is a gift, hard-won." "I'd say you deserve it." "I'll leave these on your desk, shall I?" "Thank you." "She looks nice, your wife." "Don't know what I was expecting." "Good night, then." "Good night." "I thought we weren't doing this any more." "Without family, we are lost."

"All we can do is love our children in the time we have them." "Love them without end." "No toys." " Amanda..." " I know." "We can't stop him from seeing her." "I know." "If I was Guy..." "If it were me..." "You're a good man, Chambers." "Damn you." "How are you?" "Fine, thank you." "Living in Grantchester, I understand." "For the time being, yes." "I'm sure Sidney's going to great lengths to make you feel welcome." "What is it you want, Guy?" "Is she well?" "She had a bit of a cold, but she's fine now." "May I hold her?" "I don't have a solicitor." "I can't afford one at the moment." "But when I can, I intend to make an application for a divorce." "I'm keeping her, Guy." "I don't want her brought up by nannies or sent off to some joyless boarding school." "She's staying with me." "She's beautiful." "I've made sure a terrible mess of things, haven't I?"
