F: The pictures no doubt belong to the hotel's former existence.


S: Was it an abattoir 1?


M: So very sad. In the midst 2 of life... Oh, here we are. There is a night express, you're right. Wagons-lits, dining car, and you'll be at Groby with a day to spare before the funeral. A public appearance together couldn't be more timely 3. My cousin Westershire got wind of something and I was forced to lie to him. As head of the family, the Duke takes it personally when lives become untidy.


S: I'm not going back to Christopher if I have to be in bed by nine o'clock. My own bed, I mean, of course.

S: They are yours, not mine.
