HUBERT: Not a thing. By Jove, fancy walking in the woods and stumbling
over a dead body! Most embarrassing! MRS. TERENCE: I've stumbled over bodies in them woods afore now. But they wasn't dead. Oh, no. MRS. BRAMSON: Say what you know, and don't talk so much. MRS. TERENCE: Well, I've told 'im all I've seen. A bit o' love now and again. Though 'ow they make do with all them pine-needles beats me. BELSIZE: Anything else? MRS. BRAMSON: Miss Grayne's always moping round the woods. Perhaps _she_ can tell you something. OLIVIA: I haven't seen anything, I'm afraid.... Oh--I saw some men beating the undergrowth-- BELSIZE: Yes, I'm coming to that. But no tramps, for instance? OLIVIA: N-no, I don't think so. HUBERT: "Always carry a stick's" my motto. I'd like to see a tramp try anything on with me. Ah-ha! Swish! MRS. BRAMSON: What's all the fuss about? Has there been a robbery or something? BELSIZE: There's a lady missing. |
