Good morning.
How do.
I'm Helen Bellamy. I owe you gentlemen an apology. It was I who sent the policeman here yesterday. I'm afraid I thought you were criminals. [Oz chuckles.]
I suppose we did look a bit out of place, like, roond here.
Mr. Ames, er, talked about doing some work on the house.
It's not Mr. Ames we're workin' for. This is owned by a Mr. Fraser now.
Oh? It's been sold? I never saw any signs. None of the local estate agents had it listed. Of course, Mr. Ames was rather a mystery man. My husband and I met him once when we were raising money for Oxfam. He made a very generous donation. And then one day, we opened the Sunday newspapers and found him described as King Porn!
Oh yeah?
"Is this Britain's most evil man?" one of them asked. We'd always found him perfectly charming.
You cannae gan judging a book by what you see printed on the front cover, pet, can yer?
I beg your pardon?
He's sayin' appearances can be deceptive.
Yeah, y'see these days, a lot of villains become country squires, don't they? You know, mingle with local nobs, take up fox hunting, have sherry with the vicar. Then once a month, they pops down to London and does the old bullion job.
Aye, then they get rumbled, y'see, and dodge over to Spain, divvn't they?
Ah, Spain? Yes, where one gathers Mr. Ames now resides.
Would you like a cup of tea, Mrs..?
No.. thank you. Jasper and I must be getting along.
Nice dog, that. I like retrievers.
[Laughs] I would've thought a retriever would be the last sort of dog you'd have fancied, Moxey! [Laughs again]
Shut up, Oz.
The old house could do with a lick of paint.
Oh, it's more than that, pet. Big job, this. Conversion.
Really?
Aye. We'll be here a while.
Aye, so you'd better lock up yer daughters! [Chuckles]
