Scene 7

Question 1

LADY COOKE: Tell her to have a bath, and then come. Cheerio!

A few months later, bathed, with fear, trembling, I set foot in Polstead Hall.

Question 2

PETER: I’m sorry to disturb you.

Answer 2

No… Sorry -

Question 3

PETER: I was looking for my sister, Lady Cooke. She’s not expecting me, I’m afraid I have turned up at her door like the prodigal brother I am. You must be one of her friends?

Answer 3

No - not really - I’m Maria Marten from the village.

Question 4

PETER: Oh, no - please -

Answer 4

I don’t normally look like this.

Question 5

PETER: How do you normally look?

Answer 5

A bit of a mess, if i’m honest. I hadn’t realised just how much of a mess, until today.

Question 6

PETER: I should’ve thought you look very fine no matter what.

Answer 6

I must get changed, I’ll be needed back home.

Question 7

PETER: May I assist you - do you have far to go?

Answer 7

Oh no - thank you - it’s only round the corner.

Question 8

PETER: It’s pouring with rain, though - have you an umbrella?

Answer 8

I must have forgotten it.

Question 9

PETER: Let me lend you one of ours. Here -

This should keep the worst at bay.

Answer 9

Thank you.

Question 10

PETER: Peter Matthews.

Answer 10

Thank you, Mr. Matthews. I’ll bring it back.

Question 11

PETER: Lovely. No rush.

Answer 11

I wanted to see Mr. Matthews every day, and I wanted Lady Cooke to love me like a sister. And I really wanted to keep the green umbrella
