Act 2 Flashcards

1
Q

(Mollie) I don’t know, I tell you. I’m not even sure I heard anything

A

Can’t you stop bullying her? Can you see she’s all in?

Q

(Trotter) Well, Mrs. Boyle is dead. Unless we get to the bottom of this and quickly mind there may be another death

A

Another? Nonsense. Why?

Q

(Trotter) Because there were three little blind mice

A

A death for each of them? But that would have to be some connection with the Longridge Farm business

Q

(Trotter) Mr. Ralston where were you when Mrs. Ralston screamed?

A

I was still up in the bedroom checking the extension for the telephone. It was Dead. I looked out of the window to see if I could see any sign of the wires being cut there, but I couldn’t. I heard Mollie scream and I rushed down.

Q

(Trotter) Those simple actions took you a rather long tome, didn’t they, Mr. Ralston

I don’t think so

Q

The vital face is that everyone of you was alone at the time the murder was committed

A

But look here, Sergeant, you speak as though we were all under suspicion. That’s absurd! You know pretty well who killed that woman in Culver Street. You think it’s the eldest of those three children at the farm. A mentally abnormal young man who is now twenty three years of age. Well, damn it all there’s only one person here who fits the bill

Q

I’m not arresting anyone. To do that, I’ve got to have evidence. I haven’t got any evidence yet

A

I think you’re crazy, Mollie and you too, Detective. There’s just one person who fits the bill and if only as a safety measure, he ought to be put under arrest. It’s only fair to the rest of you

(Mollie) You’re being absolutely ridiculous. I never set eyes on Christopher Wren until he arrived yesterday

Q

(Mollie) What on earth do you mean? It’s quite true

A

Is it? Then what is this? (take out glove with bus ticket) This is one of the gloves you were wearing yesterday. You dropped it. I picked it up this afternoon when I was talking to Sergeant Trotter. You see what’s inside it. A London bus ticket

32
Q

(Mollie) Oh - that

A

So it seems that you didn’t only go to the village yesterday, you went to London as well

33
Q

(Mollie) All right I went to.

A

Whilst I was safely away racing round the countryside.

34
Q

(Mollie) Whilst you were racing around the country side

A

Come on now admit it. You went to London

35
Q

(Mollie) All right I went to London. So did you

A

What?

36
Q

(Mollie) So did you. You brought back an evening paprt

A

Where did you get hold of that?

37
Q

(Mollie) It was in your overcoat pocket

A

All right. Yes I was in London. I didn’t go to meet a woman there.

38
Q

(Mollie) Didn’t you… Are you sure you didn;t

A

Eh? What do you mean?

39
Q

(Mollie) Go away. Don’t come near me

A

What’s the matter?

40
Q

(Mollie) Don’t touch me

A

Did you go to London yesterday to meet Christopher Wren?

41
Q

(Mollie) Don’t be a fool. Of course I didn’t

A

Then why did you go?

42
Q

(Mollie) I shan’t tell you. Perhaps now I’ve forgotten why I went.

A

Mollie, what’s come over you? I feel as though I don’t know you any more

43
Q

(Mollie) Perhaps you never did now me. We’ve been married how long - a year? But you don’t really know anything about me. What I’d done or thought or felt or suffered before you knew me

A

Mollie you’re crazy

44
Q

(Mollie) All right then. I’m crazy. Why not? Perhaps it’s fun to be crazy!

A

What the hell are you..

45
Q

(Paravicini) Now now. I do hope you young people are not both saying a little more that you mean. One is so apt to in these lovers’ quarrels.

A

“Lovers quarrels. That’s good.

46
Q

(Paravicini) Not been married long, I imagine

A

It’s no business of yours, Mr. Paravicini

47
Q

(Paravicini) No, no, no business at all. But I just came in to say that the Sergeant cannot find his skis and I’m afraid he’s very annoyed
(Mollie) Christopher

A

What’s that?

48
Q

(Paravicini) He wants to know if you have by any chance moved them, Mr. Ralston

A

No, of course not

49
Q

(Trotter) Mr. Ralston Mrs. Ralston have you removed my skis from the cupboard back there where we put them?

A

Certainly not

50
Q

(Paravicini) Somebody may want to get away

A

What did you mean when you said Christopher just now?

51
Q

(Mollie) Mr. Wren is very fond of skiing. I thought he might have taken them just to get a little exercise

A

Exercise?

52
Q

(Paravicini) I left Major Metcalf in the dining room. Major Metcalf. He’s not there now

A

I’ll try and find him

53
Q

(Paravicini) I will come with you to the kitchen and we will see what we can concoct together

A

I’m helping my wife Paravicini

54
Q

(Paravicini) Just what a child would adore. Cruel little things children. Some of them never grow up

A

Stop frightening my wife at once

55
Q

(Trotter) I rather doubt that

A

But what’s the idea? You’ve just said you had no means of checking these statements

56
Q

(Trotter) You will forgive me if I don’t make that clear just at the moment

A

You want- a repeat performance

57
Q

(Trotter) I can’t count anybody out. One might almost believe that you’re all guilty by the looks of you. Why are you all so unwilling?

A

Of course what you say goes Sergeant. We’ll all co-operate. Eh, Mollie

58
Q

(Mollie) Very well

A

Mr. Wren, Miss Casewell

59
Q

(Casewell) Yes

A

Paravicini

60
Q

(Paravicini) Oh yes, I consent

A

Metcalf

61
Q

(Metcalf) Yes

A

Are we all to do exactly what we did before?

62
Q

(Trotter) The same actions will be performed but not necessarily by the same people. Thank you Mrs. Ralston

A

I don’t see the point

63
Q

(Paravicini) Parlour games

A

No objection to my wearing a coat?

64
Q

(Metcalf) Ralston Ralston

A

Mollie, Mollie, are you all right say something

65
Q

(Mollie) Oh Giles

A

Whoever would have dreamt it was Trotter?

66
Q

(Mollie) He’s mad quite mad

A

Yes but you

67
Q

(Mollie) I was mixed up in it all, I taught in the school. It wasn’t my fault. but he thought I could have saved that child

A

You should have told me

68
Q

(Mollie) And I thought it was Paravicini

A

I gather they’ll examine that car of his rather carefully. I shouldn’t be surprised if they found a thousand or so Swiss watches in the spare wheel. Yes that’s his line of business nasty little bit of goods. Mollie, I believe you thought I was

69
Q

(Mollie) Giles, what were you doing in London yesterday?

A

Darling, I was buying you an anniversary present. We’ve been married just a year today

70
Q

(Mollie) They’re cigars. I do hope they’re all right

A

Oh, darling, how sweet of you. They’re splendid

71
Q

(Mollie) You will smoke them?

A

I’ll smoke them

72
Q

(Mollie) What’s my present?

A

Oh yes, I forgot all about your present. It’s a hat

73
Q

(Mollie) A hat? But I practically never wear one

A

Just for best

74
Q

(Mollie) Oh how lovely darling

A

Put it on

75
Q

(Mollie) Later when my hair’s done properly

A

It’s all right, isn’t it? The girl in the shop said it was the last thing in hats
