00:00To be continued...
00:30Oh, go on, sir, be a jez.
00:44Buy some flowers, trim up the second hand.
00:46No, not now, may I? I haven't time.
00:47Here, bit of white, Emma. Bring your love.
00:49I'll need more than white heather.
00:51Lucky, please.
00:53Flowers, lovely flowers.
00:55How about a nice carnation, sir, or bug your flowers for the day?
00:58Good morning, Mr. George. Good afternoon.
01:07Hello, Miss Garcang. Here I am, ready-willing and...
01:09Your uncle has been asking for you.
01:11Oh, Lord.
01:12I had sudden influenza.
01:13No, Mr. George, that was last week.
01:15It recurred?
01:16It recurred last week and the week before.
01:19It was awfully sudden.
01:20It always is.
01:23Tell your uncle.
01:25But go on.
01:28And, Mr. George,
01:30this morning,
01:30his bark is scarcely audible
01:32because of all the biting he's been doing.
01:35Oh, Lord.
01:36It's bad.
01:37Very.
01:37Good morning, Uncle William.
01:52Is it?
01:54You, um...
01:55You wanted to see me?
01:57Not particularly.
01:59Oh, well, then I'll go, then, shall I?
02:01Yes.
02:02Ah, very well, Uncle William.
02:04Oh, and is that the Peruvian Oil Wales document?
02:06It is.
02:07Worth a few bob, do you suppose?
02:09Much oil in Peru?
02:10Worth our investment?
02:11Such information is company business.
02:14To tell an outsider
02:16would be to jeopardize our position on the market.
02:18Ah, well, then I promise I shan't breathe a word.
02:20Get out, George.
02:21You're fired.
02:24Fired?
02:26Uncle William!
02:27I took you on to work,
02:28not to lounge in at midday.
02:29Ah, there's a perfectly good explanation for that.
02:31And if you'd care to hear it...
02:32Get out, George.
02:33Don't make me lose my temper.
02:34Don't make me raise my voice.
02:35Just get out!
02:36Oh, confound it!
02:38I say, steady on.
02:39Remember the old gout wash?
02:40Out!
02:40Miss Garstein, out!
02:42Yes, Mr Rowland.
02:43Miss Garstein,
02:45see that my nephew is paid until the end of the month.
02:47I have everything prepared, sir.
02:49Jessupel!
02:50And then do not let him through these doors ever again.
02:53People who turn up for work at five minutes before midday
02:55are not welcome in the firm of William Rowland,
02:57investment broker to the aristocracy.
02:59Out!
03:00Ah, Miss Garstein!
03:00As soon as my nephew's left the premises,
03:03I would be grateful if you bring me a dose of bromide
03:05and a cup of your noxious coffee made black and strong.
03:09Yes, Mr Rowland.
03:10I'll see you tonight, then, Uncle William.
03:16If ever I see your face again,
03:19I shall not be held accountable for my actions.
03:21Get out.
03:23Get out!
03:24Out!
03:26Out!
03:28Get out!
03:29Here you are, dearie, beautiful flowers.
03:46Buy a nice buttonhole, cheer yourself up.
03:48Now, how did you know I needed cheering up?
03:50Tell by the way people walk, love.
03:52Well, you're absolutely right, man.
03:54You were looking at one of the great unemployed.
03:56As from five minutes ago,
03:57I am no longer a member of the firm of W Rowland,
04:00investment brokers to the aristocracy.
04:02Well, never mind, ducks.
04:03With your good luck,
04:04you can go to that there south of France
04:06and be a gigalette to some rich old dowager.
04:09There you are, dear.
04:10Oh, thank you, May.
04:12How much?
04:12No, bless you.
04:13Have that one on me.
04:14It's yesterday's stock.
04:15The petals are soon dropped.
04:16Oh, thank you, May.
04:18I say, how about a bit of white heather?
04:21Picked it myself this morning.
04:23Where?
04:23Oh, what's it matter?
04:24As long as it brings you luck.
04:27Oh, thank you.
04:28Oh, thank you.
04:32Rodgers!
04:35Ah, there you are.
04:36What kept you?
04:36Good afternoon, sir.
04:38Good afternoon, Rogers.
04:39Finished work early, sir?
04:41Finished is the operative word, Rogers.
04:44Would you like a light luncheon, sir?
04:46No, Rogers, thank you.
04:48Just pack up my things, will you?
04:49I'm leaving.
04:50Yes, sir.
04:50Just for a short visit, sir?
04:57For good, Rogers.
04:58I'm going to the colonies this afternoon.
05:01Indeed, sir.
05:01Yes, that is if there's a suitable boat.
05:03Will you join me?
05:04Sir?
05:05Oh, it's very kind of you.
05:07Would no thank you, sir.
05:08Do you know anything about boats, Rogers?
05:10Which colony were you thinking you're visiting, sir?
05:12Oh, I'm not particular.
05:13Any of them will do.
05:14Let's say, uh, Australia.
05:16What do you think of Australia, Rogers?
05:18Well, sir, I've certainly heard it said
05:20that there's room out there
05:21for anyone who really wants to, uh, work, sir.
05:25Ah, very neatly put.
05:26Well, then, I shan't go to Australia.
05:28Not today, at any rate.
05:29Had a difficult time at the office, sir?
05:32My uncle has fired me, Rogers.
05:34Yes, sir.
05:35Perhaps a journey a little nearer to home, sir.
05:39Canada's extremely cold.
05:41South Africa's extremely hot.
05:43India is crowded.
05:45And one has never met anyone
05:47who has survived the Windward Islands.
05:50Windward Islands?
05:52No, Rogers, of course you're right.
05:54Fetch me the ABC, will you?
05:55We'll find somewhere a little closer at hand.
05:57At once, sir.
06:01Perth.
06:06Too far.
06:07Putney Bridge.
06:08Too near.
06:09Ramsgate.
06:10Rygate.
06:12Why, what an extraordinary thing.
06:15I actually have a place named after me.
06:18Rowland's Castle.
06:20Have you ever heard of it, Rogers?
06:21I fancied the trains go from Waterloo, sir.
06:25What an extraordinary chap you are, Rogers.
06:27You know absolutely everything.
06:28Well, well.
06:30Rowland's Castle it is, then.
06:31Very good, sir.
06:34I'll pack country clothes.
06:37What sort of place do you think it'll be?
06:39Quiet, I would expect, sir.
06:40Very quiet.
06:41You won't require evening dress.
06:43Well, all the better.
06:44There'll be less competition.
06:45The last of the original Rowland's
06:47ought to meet with instant approval.
06:48I shouldn't wonder if they may be mayor in a week.
06:50Yes, sir.
06:50Your train leaves Waterloo at 5.20 to 3, sir.
06:53First class, sir.
07:03That's what you're getting.
07:04Are you sure you want a slow train, sir?
07:14There's a fast for Portsmouth.
07:16Leaves you at Patbourne 5.
07:17Get you there in no time.
07:18Ah, but you see, I'm not going to Portsmouth.
07:20Oh, I see, sir.
07:20No, I am going to Rowland's Castle.
07:23Yes, sir.
07:24Rowland's Castle.
07:25You've never heard of it.
07:26Only over the last speaker, sir.
07:28That is when you can hear anything at all.
07:30Why would you want to go to a place like that for, sir?
07:32Because, Porter...
07:33Oh, thank you very much, sir.
07:34I have never had anything exciting happen to me in my life.
07:37And I think it's about time I started.
07:39Then go to Portsmouth, sir.
07:41I doubt if anything happens at Rowland's Castle.
07:43But the journey is at least a beginning.
07:46If you say so, sir.
07:53I say.
07:54Help me.
07:55Please.
07:56Please help me.
07:57Well, of course, but how can I?
07:58Hide me.
07:59You must hide me, please.
08:01I say, all right, but where?
08:03He's coming.
08:04I say, who?
08:09Don't give me away, please.
08:10Well, of course not.
08:11Then close the door.
08:13The door?
08:14The door.
08:15Oh, the door!
08:17Yes, of course.
08:21Now, naturally.
08:23Naturally.
08:34You're speaking to me, sir.
08:46Yes.
08:48Young man, what have you done, miss my niece?
08:51I haven't the vaguest idea what you're talking about.
08:57Then it was a school.
08:59Very.
09:00Guilt-edged her up again.
09:01You have your papers upside down, sir.
09:04I am preparing for a visit to the Antipodes.
09:12How dare you, sir?
09:13What the devil do you mean, disturbing my peace?
09:17I wish you to return my niece to me.
09:19I saw her into this compartment.
09:22What have you done, sir?
09:24You are mistaken, sir.
09:25Go and look in another compartment.
09:28What?
09:29Demand entry!
09:30Demand, sir?
09:31Oh, that may work where you come from, but it doesn't cut ice with me.
09:34My sister, you tell me what you have done, miss my niece.
09:37I will enter...
09:38Porter, I say here!
09:39Guard!
09:40Porter here, quickly!
09:41You behave like this.
09:44You, a visitor in our country.
09:46You are abducting my niece.
09:48Oh, poo!
09:51Now, look here.
09:52This fellow is annoying me.
09:54I'm not at all sure I shan't have him up for assault and battery.
09:57Now, deal with it, will you?
09:58There's a good chap.
09:59But yes, my niece.
10:01Lord, this isn't meant for the guard.
10:03But just listen to him.
10:04He's as foreign as he can be.
10:06Oh, foreign, is he?
10:07Look at him.
10:08Don't come alive!
10:10This man is in a bad life!
10:12That's a bad life!
10:13That's a bad life!
10:14Help me, you sir!
10:16How did you do this?
10:17Keine Huland!
10:18Get off the ground!
10:19Get off the ground!
10:20Come on, sir!
10:21No, sir!
10:21Hey, Fred, give us a hand, will you?
10:23Give us a hand, will you?
10:24Get off me, you are!
10:26I want...
10:27I will...
10:28I will...
10:29I will...
10:30Thank you very much, guard!
10:32I will be even with you!
10:35And, man, you will not escape!
10:39You can come out now.
10:40The coast's clear.
10:41Oh, how can I ever thank you?
10:42It's quite all right.
10:43A pleasure.
10:44Think no more of it.
10:45Oh, look at me.
10:46Yes.
10:47Absolutely.
10:48My face!
10:49Never will you think of me.
10:50Never will you think of me.
10:51I'm sure you've nothing but the very best.
10:52Could you?
10:53Yes, of course.
10:54I think it was splendid of you to help.
10:55Absolutely delighted to be of use.
10:56Splendid of you.
10:57Absolutely delighted.
10:58Absolutely delighted to be of use.
10:59Splendid of you.
11:00Absolutely delighted to be of use.
11:01Splendid of you.
11:02Absolutely delighted.
11:03Splendid of you.
11:04The awkward part here is that I'm afraid I can't explain.
11:07You can't explain?
11:08No.
11:09Oh, wonderful.
11:10How topping.
11:11How perfectly splendid.
11:12I beg your pardon?
11:13It's absolutely splendid.
11:14It's like one of those...
11:15books that keep you awake all night.
11:16The heroine always says, I can't explain in chapter 1 and then she does at the end.
11:20Oh, I can't tell you what please damn.
11:22I didn't know such things could be.
11:24Say, what do you think you've done?
11:26Yeah.
11:27Explain.
11:28No.
11:29Oh, wonderful.
11:30How topping.
11:31How perfectly splendid.
11:32I beg your pardon?
11:33It's absolutely splendid.
11:34It's like one of those books that keep you awake all night.
11:38The heroine always says, I can't explain a chapter one, and then she does at the end.
11:42Oh, I can't tell you what these days am.
11:44I didn't know such things could happen.
11:46It's got something to do with secret documents of immense importance of the Balkan Express.
11:51Oh, I dote upon the Balkan Express.
11:54What makes you say the Balkan Express?
11:57I don't know how to scrape you.
11:59Your uncle.
12:00My uncle.
12:04Oh, my uncle.
12:06I know.
12:07I know.
12:08I have an uncle myself.
12:09Nobody should be held responsible for their uncles.
12:11Nature's little throwbacks, that's how I look at it.
12:14What a refreshing and unusual person you are, Esther.
12:17Roland.
12:18But George, to my friends.
12:20And I am Elizabeth.
12:21Elizabeth.
12:22I like the name Elizabeth.
12:25They don't call you Bessie or Betty or anything horrible like that, I hope.
12:29Do I look an awful mess?
12:31Oh, no.
12:32You look.
12:33You look.
12:34You look.
12:35All right.
12:36Goodness!
12:37Where does this train go to?
12:38Rowlands Castle.
12:39Where?
12:40Doesn't it stop anywhere else?
12:41I don't go everywhere else.
12:42Woking, Wimbledon, Weybridge, you name it.
12:43There may be better a light in the next stop.
12:44The boat about to town.
12:45Must you?
12:46You must find my behavior quite extraordinary, Mr. Rowland.
12:48George, to my friends.
12:49George, to my friends.
12:50It's all so sudden, you see.
12:51He saw us in the taxi and then at the station.
12:52I just bolted in here.
12:53Us?
12:54Saw us in the taxi?
12:55The people I was with.
12:56You don't sound the least tiny bit foreign.
12:57Foreign?
12:58To have a beastly foreigner.
12:59Oh, I see.
13:00It doesn't sound as a normal one.
13:01Oh, dear.
13:02You must find my behavior quite extraordinary, Mr. Rowland.
13:03George, to my friends.
13:04Out of my friends.
13:05It's all so sudden, you see.
13:06He saw us in the taxi and then at the station I just bolted in here.
13:13You saw us in the taxi?
13:14The people I was with.
13:16You don't sound the least tiny bit foreign.
13:21Foreign?
13:22To have a beastly foreigner.
13:25Oh, I see. Well, I was educated here in England. One always is, isn't one?
13:32Where else?
13:36I'm awfully glad you built it in here.
13:50Don't look so, sir. I wish I could explain.
13:53No, don't do that. It would spoil everything, the whole adventure.
14:00Look, isn't there something I could do? Carry the secret papers to Vienna or something of that kind?
14:05Secret papers?
14:06There are always secret papers. Do give me a chance.
14:10You do want an adventure, don't you?
14:16I'd do anything in the world for you, Elizabeth.
14:18Even if I could give you no reason?
14:20I've forgotten those reasons.
14:22Even if it were dangerous.
14:23The more dangerous, the better.
14:25What a nice man you are.
14:28I'm sorry. I must go.
14:35Elizabeth!
14:37Make we meet again.
14:38Shhh!
14:43Lean out of the window.
14:45Don't you seem to be looking.
14:46Good Lord.
14:47You see that man leaning out?
14:48Yes, where?
14:49There, George.
14:51Looking just like the dear King.
14:53Good heavens, yes.
14:54I say, you don't suppose it is the King.
14:57He's travelling third class.
14:59Follow him, George.
15:00See what he does and where he goes.
15:02Don't let him out of your sight.
15:04I must let.
15:06Is that all? What should I do?
15:08Further instructions will be sent to you.
15:09I say.
15:11Watch him, George.
15:12Dear George.
15:13For me.
15:14And guard this.
15:15Guard it with your life.
15:16It is the key to everything.
15:18But I say!
15:19Elizabeth, I say!
15:21For me, George.
15:24For me!
15:37Oh, I say!
15:39I say!
15:49The Reverend's Castle.
15:52I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
15:55Your mayor-elect has other business just at present.
16:09Hurry up, George, or His Majesty will give you the slip!
16:39Oh, oh, I'm so sorry.
17:09Are you for hire?
17:11I'd be.
17:13Then follow that cab!
17:39You a spy, are you?
17:43Certainly not.
17:44A detective on a divorce case, I can always tell.
17:46Nothing of the kind.
17:47What are you up to?
17:49Just a prank.
17:50You can keep the change.
17:52I intend to.
17:53Prank?
17:54You can get into trouble with pranks.
17:56Don't worry about me.
17:57I've got my white heather to bring me luck.
17:59White heather?
18:00Deary, deary me.
18:03Erica Vegans.
18:05I beg your pardon?
18:07Erica Vegans dying by the look of it.
18:10White heather.
18:12There's one born every day.
18:21Erica!
18:22What the earth is there talking about?
18:33I don't know.
19:03Mm-hm. Smith, indeed.
19:33Good evening. Isn't it just?
19:37Can I help you?
19:39A room?
19:42A room, yes.
19:44Single or double?
19:47Um, single?
19:49Oh, never mind.
19:51Oh, can you accommodate me?
19:55Indeed we can.
19:57We can let you have room...
19:5925.
20:02Oh, silly of me. I've just let 25 to a Mr. Smith.
20:06I ask you, Mr. Smith,
20:08and alone.
20:10You can have 27.
20:14And you, I suppose, are Mr. Brown?
20:17What? No.
20:19Ah, Roland.
20:20George Roland.
20:22Then fill it in, sir.
20:24Oh, right.
20:24And the address.
20:33Address?
20:35Um...
20:36Roland's castle.
20:43George Roland.
20:46Roland's castle.
20:47I hope you'll be very comfortable, sir.
20:53Oh
21:21good gracious another of you.
21:23I want a room for the night.
21:25I dare say you do
21:27and you'll be mr. Jones.

38:27room last night and here it is returned. what does it contain? I don't know.
38:34somebody's opened it already so it's lunacy. that's what it is. it's absolute lunacy.
38:46there's no sense anywhere. it's a wedding ring.
38:52the gentleman in number 25!
39:00there's a ledge out here. I'm going along.
39:04oh god bless you sir. you're in your pajamas.

42:08well at least they didn't take this.
42:10what on earth were they after?
42:12awfully afraid it might have been that love letter.
42:14where do you put it?
42:16where indeed
42:18I was going to return it
42:20and then I came in and discovered that Elizabeth's packet had gone and then
42:24I'm afraid I went to pieces a bit.
42:32I say I slipped it in here.
42:34very fortuitous sir. may I?
42:40I say do you think you ought?
42:42it is a private letter.
42:44as you say sir.
42:46but I'd rather fancy that if you drew a line from one dotted eye to another
42:52we had a very different result
42:54really?
42:56I'd rather think sir
42:58that this is a plan of the Portsmouth harbour defences.
43:00good lord
43:02yeah. we've had a eye on them for some time sir.
43:04quite a gang you know

43:32a woman? what's her name?
43:34oh not sure. nor what she looks like

43:40and bright eyes
43:42matter fact the yard we call her
43:44Betty Bright Eyes
43:46why Betty?
43:48well cause that's her name sir

44:00she became
44:02oh Elizabeth

44:06you don't look very well you know
44:08that's because I don't feel very well inspector
44:10I'd better catch the first train back to town
44:14that'll be the slow train now sir
44:16you'd be better off waiting for the express
44:18the slow train will suit me admirably inspector
44:20you're quite sure you're all right sir
44:22I will pursue my inquiries
44:24there's still a lot to be done
44:26there's still a lot to be done

44:38the brightest eyes I've ever seen
44:40I'll stake my life on it
44:42she's either
44:44Betty Bright Eyes
44:46or the Grand Duchess of Katomia
44:50both
44:56are you the only cabbie in Portsmouth?
45:02I'd won't be good for the soul
45:04my old mother always said
45:06oh did she?
45:08station please
45:10exhausted the delights of Portsmouth already
45:12aren't you?
45:26did your friends find you last night?
45:30I beg your pardon
45:31did you have a neat description of you?
45:32who did?
45:33foreign chappies
45:34looking for handsome young chap
45:36couldn't face it that
45:38then they mentioned Erica Vagans
45:40got your wands
45:41said he had a bit of weave
45:42stuck in his lapel
45:44got your wands
45:46my white heather?
45:47Erica Vagans
45:48pale mould
45:50nothing like white heather
45:52I'm born every minute
45:56mixed talk
45:58isn't it?
46:03I eat my sir
46:16the wedding took place yesterday in London
46:18of Lord James Gay
46:19second son of the marquess of Axtonstead
46:20and the grand duchess Alexa of Katomia
46:23of Catania. The ceremony was kept a profound secret. The Grand Duchess has
46:32been living in Paris with her uncle, Prince Osric, since the recent upheaval
46:37in Catania. Damn, damn, damn! She met Lord James, the swine, on a skiing holiday in
46:49Switzerland. Elizabeth! How could you do this to me?
47:10That's not my Elizabeth. There's nothing like her.
47:17Where is it? Oh, Elizabeth!
47:20George!
47:22Elizabeth!
47:24George!
47:29Elizabeth!
47:31Aren't you pleased to see me, George?
47:33For God's sake, tell me! Are you the Grand Duchess of Catania?
47:37Because if so, this is the most ghastly photograph of you!
47:41No.
47:42But you are Betty Brighteyes.
47:44Betty Brighteyes are traded to our country, but don't worry, Elizabeth.
47:47I'll get you out of this.
47:48George! What on earth are you doing?
47:58Get under the seat.
47:59I will not get under the seat!
48:00You've got to stay out of sight till the train leaves. Please, Elizabeth!
48:02George, will you listen to me? I am not Betty Brighteyes, whoever she may be.
48:06You're not?
48:08And you're not the Grand Duchess' Alexa?
48:13Who are you, Elizabeth?
48:17I'm Elizabeth Gaye.
48:19And my brother, James, has just married the Grand Duchess, whom he loves dearly.
48:24But her uncle, Prince Osric, didn't want the marriage to take place.
48:28There was a horrible plot of it for her to marry her cousin.
48:32A frightful, pimply person called Prince Carl.
48:34I've met him!
48:35whom Alexa absolutely hates.
48:37Hmm, sensible gal.
48:38We were doing splendidly yesterday,
48:40bowling through London on our way to the registry office,
48:42when Prince Osric, Alexa's uncle, spotted us.
48:46Then I had the brilliant idea of changing places,
48:50acting as a sort of decoy, like those ducks in shooting.
48:53So we changed hats and coats,
48:55and really with a collar up, one hardly glimpses a girl nowadays.
48:58And it worked like a dream.
49:00Prince Osric came pounding after me,
49:03leaving the loving couple to plight their troth.
49:06Lucky old them.
49:08And everything was fine.
49:10Except that I met a dear, sweet man who wanted an adventure.
49:14And I couldn't resist giving him one.
49:19But you also gave me this.
49:21Alexa bought a spare, in case James forgot.
49:24You know what men are like.
49:25And I thought it would add to your mystery.
49:28Well, it certainly did that.
49:30And then Storm and Prince Carl came pounding back
49:33and said you were in Portsmouth.
49:35I got the express this morning, and here I am.
49:41Just to see me.
49:43And to explain.
49:45Yes, sir.
49:46Just thought you'd like to know.
49:47Meet Betty Bright Eyes.
49:48I say.
49:49Morning, sir.
49:50Yeah, we've got his majesty too.
49:51Yeah, he could have made his getaway, you know, sir,
49:52but he wouldn't leave Portsmouth Harbour without her.
49:54It's amazing what love can do, innit, sir?
49:56Amazing.
49:57Well, better be off, sir.
49:58It's the express time for these two.
49:59You're quite sure you won't, do you want us?
50:00Quite sure.
50:01We're off.
50:02Well, good luck, sir.
50:03Well, good luck, sir.
50:04Good luck, sir.
50:05Oh, good luck, sir.
50:06You're not there.
50:07Oh, good luck, man.
50:08You're not there.
50:09Thank you, sir.
50:10You're not there, sir.
50:11You're not there, sir.
50:12You're not there, sir.
50:13But you're not there, sir.
50:14Yeah, he could have made his getaway, you know, sir,
50:15but he wouldn't leave Portsmouth Harbour without her.
50:17It's amazing what love can do, innit, sir?
50:18Amazing.
50:19Well, better be off, sir.
50:20It's the express time for these two.
50:21Oh, you're quite sure you won't, do you want us?
50:22Quite sure.
50:24We're off.
50:25Well, good luck, sir.
50:26just like all those stories so simple when you know how and why
50:48all the same seems to start to me that a common cabbie would know the latin name for
50:55white heather it isn't white heather at all it's a white move
51:04very very lucky
51:24so
51:36so
51:48so
51:59so
52:06so
52:06so
