Appleby: How nicely you've done the house. Did you know this was three rooms when I was a child? Beautiful, quite beautiful. I do love Indian art. Erotic, violent... your inspiration for this whole scheme, I assume. So charming. Oh... will you be away long?

Ellen Wheeler: At the moment, that seems to depend on... you Mr. Appleby.

Appleby: Oh, Mrs. Wheeler... Inspector Walker wouldn't believe me either. But I do admire you. How many "abandoned wives", or cuckolds for that matter, would have had your courage to pull off what you did? I myself, did nothing.

Ellen Wheeler: It's a great favor to ask you, but since you are so fond of this house...

Appleby: Yes?

Ellen Wheeler: Would it be possible for you to stay here and look after it while I'm away?

Appleby:[flattered]Well... I don't know what to say.

Ellen Wheeler: The garden too of course. Here are the keys.

Appleby:[takes the keys]It will be a pleasure. I'll see that nothing is disturbed.

Ellen Wheeler: Thank you, Mr. Appleby.

Appleby: No... thank you, Mrs. Wheeler.
