I forget things, dear.

That's my trouble.

There you are.

Eat your egg, dear.

You don't want people to think that you're still

upset overthat horrible man, how do you?

No, mummy.

Sorry, Major, there's been a muddle.

I'll lay yourtable right away.

Mabel, no, 7's in.

You said he was out.

Well, that's what Edgar said.

There we are.

All cozy now.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

- Lovely day, isn't it?

- Yes, it is.

Should be fine forthe course.

If the weather holds up,

I may be able to give you a winnertomorrow.

Well, thank you.

Thank you very much.

I may not be here tomorrow.

I see.

It's suddenly turned very cold

in here, dear, don't you think?

I think I shall move my chair around

out of the draft.

Good morning.

Have you seen the latest, ah, cricket score?

No, I haven't.

We're doing rather well.

Australia all out 246.

- Oh, I am glad to hearthat.

- Yes, it is encouraging, isn't it?

Well, really.

Good morning.

Gladys.

I, ah... I hope you're having the haddock,

it's delicious.

- Yes, I am.

- Good.

Come, Sibyl.

- I haven't finished yet.

- It doesn't matter, dear.

Come with me into the lounge.

No, mummy.

Sibyl, come with me at once.

No, mummy. I'm going to stay here

in the dining room and finish my breakfast.

I sawthe new moon

through glass last night.

Did you, indeed?

Some people think that's unlucky,

don't they?

Yes, they do.

But then, I don't believe

in superstition. Do you?

No, as a matter of fact,

I, Ah... I don't.

You know, don't you, Ann,

that we don't have very much hope together.

Have we all that much apart?

Good morning, lady Matheson.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Edgar says yourtaxi has arrived,

Mr. Pollock.

Ask him to send it away again,

would you, please?

Very well.
