00:00Derek, don't you think you ought to tell Lord Brace did what you heard?

00:09I have.

00:10What happened?

00:11Oh, he denied it, of course.

00:12At first he was very angry, then he laughed.

00:16He said he admired my courage, but not my common sense.

00:19You could see he was frightened.

00:20And then quite suddenly he asked me if it was Stefan who had told me.

00:24Why should he ask that?

00:25Because it's true.

00:26Then he fired you.

00:27No, not quite.

00:28He was too smart.

00:29He was too smart for that.

00:31He just said that he hated to see me make such a fool of myself.

00:33I couldn't go on being his secretary, of course, but he would give me a three-year's assignment

00:37in West Africa.

00:38How nice of him.

00:39Yes, wasn't it?

00:40And that's not all.

00:41In view of my long and faithful service, he proposed to make me a present of 10,000 pounds.

00:4610,000 pounds?

00:47What for?

00:49Yes, what for?

00:51Derek, my father's the cleverest man in the world.

00:54You've got to tell him what you just told me and let him advise you.

00:56I don't want you mixed up in this.

00:58Look, he's in the next room now.

00:59Let me talk to him.

01:00No, I'd rather do it my own way.

01:02What are you going to do?

01:03I've got a date with Lord Braisted in half an hour.

01:06I'm going to tell him what he can do with his West African job and give him a chance

01:09to call the whole thing off.

01:10And if he doesn't?

01:11If he doesn't, I shall take the morning plane to Prague, warn Stefan, and get conclusive

01:15evidence.

01:16Derek, I wish I could go with you.

01:18So do I.

01:19Promise not to do anything silly till I get back.

01:22I'll try not to.

01:23Derek.

01:29I do love you, sir.

01:31I began to wonder if you were ever going to tell me.

01:34I meant to wait until all this was over.

01:36Glad you didn't.

01:37Yes, but let's not tell anybody else until it is all over.

01:41Anything you say, sir.

01:42I've really got to go.

01:44Darling, don't let him bully you.

01:47I won't.

01:49Let me know what happens.

01:51Promise me if anything goes wrong while I'm away, I'll talk to father.

01:54All right.

01:59Goodbye, darling.

02:00Bye.

02:01Come back safe.
