Jack of clubs.
- Oh my goodness.
Well, here goes.
Mine! All mine.
You are no good at all.
Well, I'm not clever enough.
This is a game for a quiet intellect.
Are you ready?
- Uhuh.
At last a King!
One .. two .. I'm finished.
I'm done for.
I owe you ten million pounds.
Eleven million.
- Eleven, is it?
Ah well.
Well anyway, here is
sixpence on account.
I'll pay off the rest by instalments.
Tuppence a week until the last judgment.
Agreeable?
It's raining.
I like rain.
I like it when it rains really hard.
When there is thunder.
Lightning.
Oh, that girl.
It's too horrible.
I hate him.
I hate him!
Do you know what the time is?
Only two minutes.
Two minutes.
That's all.
Then you will be safe.
Safe.
I'll be safe.
They must have got everything
ready on the scaffold.
The rope.
The straps.
And now they are going down the stairs.
There is the Governor of
the prison, the Chaplain.
They are walking along the corridor.
It isn't far. Just a few steps.
They are at the door.
Someone puts a key in
the lock. And turns it.
The door opens .. there he is.
There .. he .. is.
Just because she was eighteen.
Because of her mouth,
because of her skin.
Oh God! God! God! God!
God ..
It's alright. No need to worry about it.
Sleep now.
Hold still.
This won't hurt.
Quite still.
Let yourself go.
Feeling comfortable?
Yes.
You feel quite safe now, don't you.
Yes.
Yes. Absolutely safe.
Tell me, Janet.
How did you get her to take the poison?
I put it in the coffee.
You thought he would ask
you to marry him? Huh?
No. No, I don't want to talk about it.
But it's true, isn't it?
- I can't tell you.
You thought that he loved you
as much as you loved him.
It's too awful. It's too humiliating.
Alright.
I won't torment you anymore.
Go to sleep now.
Deep sleep.
Warm .. soft .. dark.
Like black velvet.
Think of black velvet and black fur.
No light coming in.
No dreams to interrupt you.
Just sleep.
Hello.
Give me toll calls, please.
Battersea 6160.
Hello?
Is that Wandsworth prison?
This is doctor James Libbard speaking.
I want to speak to the Governor, please.
At one.
Yes, it is official business
connected with the Maurier case.
Yes, it is extremely urgent.
Alright, I'll hold on.

Aldous Huxley

Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer, novelist, philosopher, and prominent member of the Huxley family. He graduated from Balliol College at the University of Oxford with a first-class honours degree in English literature. The author of nearly fifty books, Huxley was best known for his novels (among them Brave New World, set in a dystopian future); for nonfiction works, such as The Doors of Perception, in which he recalls his experiences taking psychedelic drugs; and for his wide-ranging essays. Early in his career, Huxley published short stories and poetry, and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry. He went on to publish travel writing, film stories, satire, and screenplays. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death.Huxley was a humanist and pacifist. He became interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism, and in particular universalism. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature seven times. In 1962, a year before he died, Huxley was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature. more…
