Well yes, my lady. On his

instructions, of course.

A fine second you turned out to be.

I could claim a foul, you

know, and demand a replay.

Victor, is this true?

Well yes, darling.

But I've always believed that the

happy ending justifies the means.

Oh, and I thought it was all so

romantic and you were so brave.

So I was. After the way Sellers

shot at the practice this morning,

I was never so frightened in my life.

What was the best you got, Sellers?

Three flower pots out of five, my lord.

There, you see?

Will that be all, my lady?

Yes, thank you Sellers. Goodnight.

- Goodnight, my lady.

Goodnight, my lord.

Good night, sir.

Oh Victor, darling.

You feeling alright now?

No.

Where did you get that coat?

Somebody gave it to me.

What for? Just answer

me that. What for?

Well, to keep me warm, I suppose.

- Who gave it to you?

- I've been dying to show it to you.

You're not jealous. Are you, darling?

Do you know that for just one

split second, I was. I really was.

I can't blam you.

Isn't the color dreamy?

Take it off.

- You want to try it on?

- I have tried it on. Take it off.

- Look out for my arm.

- But Vicky, darling! I can't!

- I haven't got much underneath.

- I couldn't care less. Take it off!

You could try it on in the morning.

- Take it off!

- Vicky, darling. I can't!

I am going to count to 3.

1...

2...

- Oh, how do I shoot this?

- Oh, no, no, no!

Oh this way!

Oh yes, that's right. Now

then, for the last time.

Take it off!

I suppose this is what's called

being frightened out of one's skins.

Dearest Charles, this is the

most lovely coat I have ever seen.

But I'm afraid I must

give it back to you.

- I'm cold!

- Well, you better put this back on right away.

Thank you, Charles.

Isn't it gorgeous. I finally got a mink.

It just goes to show you, doesn't it?

Oh Hil, darling. You

did look lovely in it.

- And I'm sure you did.

- I must say I did like it.

But it is a little too much

for a housekeeper to wear mink.

What do you mean, housekeeper?

That's my position

here, for a little while.

Good. Then give me that.

- Thank you, Sellers.

- Thank you, Madame.

Goodbye Mrs. Durant, dear.

Goodbye Hil, darling.

- Bye, darling.

- Thank you for a lovely weekend.

- Bye, Charles.

- Goodbye, Hilary.

Goodbye, Charles.

Victor.

- Bye, darling.

- Bye bye.

- Here they are.

- Hey!

- Hello, my love!

- Phillip, Phillip!

- Oh, how nice to see you.

- Hello, darling.

What happened to your arm, Daddy?

- Oh, I sprained my wrist.

- He broke his shoulder.
