Candleshoe Page #7

That is, Mr. Priory sold it to me, that is.

Mr. Thresher, it was quite proper to sell

the painting, but it is impelled for us

to look at it. So who did you sell

it then and where is it, now?

Well, I sold it to an American lady only

yesterday.

She said that Captain Joshua reminded

her of her father.

Another pirate, no doubt.

I had it packed up and sent down to

Hambledon Station

It is leaving at 12:20 for London.

12:
20.

She has gone down the SouthHampton,

in time to embark on

Queen Elisabeth.

Get in the car, Peter. We'll catch

the train 12:
20.

But it is 12:
15 now. 12:20 was

never on time for eight years.

There goes the train 12:20. 12:20. What

a terrible time to break a perfect record.

This is the last opportune here in London.

Are we late?

Of course, not.

Give chase, Priory.

We must let them down somehow.

Everybody out.

Priory, you parked my car

across the track.

Yes, my lady.

Where is the train stopping sign?

There isn't stopping sign.

They have marvellous brakes on this

locomotives. Over there, quick.

My lady.

I shall remain here,

thank you.

My Lady?

You just said it would stop in time.

Yes, but...

They have marvellous brakes, I believe.

My Lady, I must insist.

I shall not leave this car.

Just make sure it does stop in time?

Very good, my lady.

Thank you, Priory.

Here now, what is going on?

Do you mind... Do you mind if we have a

look at something in your baggage van?

Yeah, that is the eclipse, all right.

But where is the clue?

Captain Joshua has his sword to the

document. Is something written on it?

Under foot in the great hall

look high look low scavo

so end just the statement.

In the great hall?

Under foor?

Priory, do you have the key?

I have it, my lady.

Peter, go and get my tools,

hurry up.

Right here, under the mantle somewhere.

Mr. Bundage? What a dreary idea!

What on earth are you doing here?

My ladyship, good afternoon, we saw the

place after sale, we could stop and have a

quick look around.

Until tomorrow this house is mine and

will you all kindly leave?

I made a nice cup of tea for you,

Harry.

Lorry!

Grimsworthy!

What is she doing here?

What are you doing here? You were

dismissed for stealing and you were

told never to return.

All right, stop that talk.

Charlie, shut the doors!

All right, come on.

You stay here, my lady.

Let go!

Let's call the police.

It's engaged.

What?

Busy!

Come on, hurry!

Priory, the children! We must see what

is happening to them.

I'll go my lady, you stay right here.

Mr. Bundage, put that down at once.

Keep back!

Let's stop being hasty.

That treasure, it is only mine or

else nobody's.

This is an emergency. No, there is nothing

wrong with my telephone.

Give me that.

Come on!

Hurry!

Hello, operator, operator.

Leave that phone!

Look out!

Hello, operator!

Get him!

All right, quick, go and get the

police.

Go quickly! To the police, quick!

Now, go on, go, go!

Hey, Clara!

Go to this way!

Priory!

You swine! My regimental tie.

Did Gipping get away?

I don't know.

Cluny, you better go

for help just in case.

Look out!

Hey, duck!

Hey.

Come here.

What's happening?

Kuchi, kuchi, kuchi, kuchi.

And don't come back!

Everybody to the great hall, quick!

My lady, please.

Casey, find something to close the door.

How about that?

Do you think that is going to hold?

No, I don't.

We barricade it, as well.

Right. How about the iron sailor?

Good idea. Everybody help.

Mind your hands, my lady.

Push!

Don't stand, get them!

What is going on?

Captain Joshua, you old rogue

I'm not very good at good byes.

Apparently not.

Where are you going?

I don't know. Bad days, I guess.

I see.

Now, listen.

I never belong to Candleshoe.

I mean, I pretended I did,

but I don't, all right.

Not enough excitement here for you?

Yeah, you must be kidding.

Perhaps it is the people in Candleshoe

you don't care for? Priory, the children.

Well, they are okay.

Perhaps it is me?

Yeah, okay, you got it, it is you.

I mean I came here to do a number

on you. You are straight hussle.

I mean, I didn't know you and I didn't

care, but now...

But now?

Now... now it is diferent.

Thank you.

I'm very fond of you, too.

I don't mind in the least that you lied

to me when you first came to

Candleshoe.

But my feeling would be hurt very much

if you lie to me now.

Do you really want to go back to Los

Angeles?

Never cried in my life.

Then I think it is just about time

that you did.

Come along, my dear.

We are going home.

Supposing, your real grand daughter

shows up?

Perhaps she has.
