Who at precisely 3:34 this afternoon, was
brutally bludgeoned to death with a blunt

00:00:13.903 --> 00:00:19.794
instrument. I want each of you to tell me
your whereabouts at precisely the time

00:00:19.794 --> 00:00:22.501
that this dastardly deed took place.

Lady Smythe: But, but, how did you know?

00:00:40.921 --> 00:00:44.124
Detective: Madam, as any horticulturalist
will tell you, one does not plant petunias

00:00:44.124 --> 00:00:46.822
until May is out. Take her away.

00:00:47.387 --> 00:00:53.228
It's just a matter of observation. The
real question is how observant were you?
