smoke

ah Wilbur how nice to see you come in

thank you you have no trouble getting

here no no no trouble at all let me take

your coat thank you it's just a little

cold

going in

I didn't know you had a cat oh yeah sure

there's a matter of fact you ought to be

grateful to sugar it wasn't for him I

probably wouldn't be interested in

publishing your book then you are going

to publish it

oh wait a minute just a moment I said

interested the matter of fact I'm not

convinced that the public is ready for

the story you said that about my book on

flying saucers now everyone believes it

and my theory regarding the pyramids do

you believe this sort of thing I believe

everything I write everything there's a

poem it's just a moment - what you say

is right how are you going to convince

the people what you're writing about is

true for instance the marking story

there could be dozens of explanations

this is what really happened I had

access to the police statements and the

doctor's report on the bodies believe me

I do know what happened I know

come mr. Weiss to see Miss Maggie Thank

You Janet

how are you today miss Malkin feeling

stronger I hope Oh battling arm you know

it takes more than a stroke to put me

other back I'm sure now here are two

copies of the new video ask me to

prepare and now what I would like to do

is to go through them bathroom Janet

what are you doing I'm just based

learning and I thought it'd be alright

if I it is most certainly not all right

mr. Wallace and I have an important

matter which we wish to discuss in

private you must find some pills to go

yes miss Mallon have you fed to the cats

yet no miss Marcus well please do sir

yes miss Marvin and shut the door behind

you I'm not feeding my treasures done

that girl will be the death of me one of

these days I'm quite convinced of it

do you really wish to leave your request

to your nephew as it stands miss Malkin

in your original will he was a sole heir

quite sure michael has squandered a

considerable amount of my money already

and I have received remarkably little

gratitude from him in return

no mr. Wallace my money was guilt with

the only ones who'll be loyal to me all

these years

to my own little family now if you would

be good enough to sign these both yeah

and yeah you will keep one copy for

yourself and I will take the other

and I hope he'll feel better soon miss

Malkin good Lord will see to that soon

enough should you think of changing your

mind not your nephew I won't be changing

my mind again mr. Wallace you can be

sure of that my only regret is that I

won't be here to see his face when you

read the will

can't say I am through your job with all

those cats did they give me the creeps

we have a mutual understanding I scratch

their backs and they don't scratch mine

excuse me

would you put this in the safe for me

I'd rather you did it than the girls

because they're behind that picture yes

I still need the combination ah yes I

have it right here in my diary

doesn't matter

is that her which being upsetting you

again

brace yourself first your aunt's will

new area my sister's son Michael his

kindness to me has always been

conspicuous by its absence

but we've the cost of one very good

dinner at a fashionable restaurant

because it will probably be the last you

can now afford the cats get everything

you know one no you have his rest

I took it from her Louis briefcase when

he wasn't looking

so auntie has made after new wealth but

mister have a drink

my financial worries would be there's

another copy in the safe but you have

the combination

I know where she keeps it how would you

answer that your monitor is very very

rich

you're a wicked girl Janet a wicked

wicked girl who deserves to go to hell

please don't don't give me police

very very rich

I know where she keeps

still no answer I think you're right

there better go and take a look and I

think it would be a good idea to call in

a police station on the way

everything happened exactly as I told

you the lovers of the cats were hungry

they had to eat something but to suggest

that they deliberately decided to avenge

the murder of their owners is just too

fantastic if you want proof look at this

a sworn statement from the solicitor a

copy of it what are you going to do I

want to put the cat out no you don't

expect me to let him do what he wants to

do in here come on sweetheart come on

come on come on come on

don't see this now perhaps you'll

believe me yes but there were two cats I

saw them they were top let's talk some

more about your book this little girl

Lucy mr. pictures of

mrs. Blake how do you do

I've known amazing town welfare

department thank you so much for having

come all this way

friends and Wellington Wellington this

is Wellington he's my friend well that

is a surprise this is your room it used

to be your mother's what do you think of

it Wellington Wellington says he likes

it cats can't talk yes they can but it

takes a long time before you can

understand them now I'll show you my

room it's bigger than yours

that's because I belong here I have to

unpack it's a pity about her parents I

certainly didn't expect her to bring her

cat with her mrs. Mayton what my wife

means is that she thinks some animal

might disrupt the house they scratch all

the furniture and make everything dirty

please try to bear with this one mrs.

Blake you see Lucy's extremely attached

to that cat and in a way it's the only

link with life as it was before the

plane crash if she were to be separated

from Wellington now I think it would

break her heart

everything all right losing magic taro

ritual witchcraft where'd you get all

these they were my mother's

my sister believed in all this well

they'll have to get rid of them no they

were my mother's we'll see dinners in

ten minutes

Wellington mummy why can't I have a cat

because I don't want you to have one

fish would be quite enough you lose he

keep Wellington we let Lucy keep

Wellington because because she doesn't

have a mummy and daddy would you do if

you and daddy were killed in the plane

crashed could I have a cat then it's my

turn to play with Wellington now who

said it was your turn
