Oh, hello! Is that Parker's?
Look, I'm going fishing this weekend. And I should need some more bait.
No, only on the Thames. The maggots will do.
I'll send someone round to collect them.
Oh, by the way, those trout flies I bought from you have been very successful.
Especially the CCCCCC
Seem to attract the trout like a magnet.
Yes! Well, thank you again.
Bye!
Excuse me.
Ah! You startled me. You might knock before you barge in!
I'm sorry!
(knock knock knock)
Is that better?
I've lost it!
You've lost what?
I have lost my favorite fly!
I had it in my hand a minute ago. I must have dropped it.
Have you seen it anywhere?
What dos it look like?
Well, it's about two inches long, red and black and it's got a curly tail.
Perhaps it's flown out the window.
It is a fishing fly! A cocky bon Dieu!
A cocky what?
Bon Dieu!
Oh!
It must be here somewhere.
Oh, we will be cheered! We'll find it!
Oh, perhaps I should come back later.
Ah, Mr. Brown, you can join in.
I'm not really that religious, actually.
(Laughter)
We are looking for a fly.
A fly?!
Oh, yes, teacher! Two inches long, brown, red and black...
and it got curly tail.
It sound quite lethal.
Would you mind helping us look for it?
No, not at all!
Oh, I found it!
Where?
It's here. Just under the desk.
Oh, I'll get it.
no, stand back, Sid! you leave this to me.
What are you doing, Mr. Brown?
Stay where you are, Miss. Courtney. This could be dangerous.
Yes, right. Not moving now.
Mr. Brown!
Ah, just a minute.
Better to be safe than sorry.
It's dead!
Oh, I just remembered. I've been expected at the boiler's.
Have you quite finished, Mr. Borwn?
Would you like to borrow a hammer?
How come would you care for strangers insects are concerned?
Do you know any idea where it came from?
Yes! W Parker & Son.
Ah... Pardon?
Finshing tackle suppliers!
Oh, fish... Wasn't it?
It was!
Oh, dear!
Got any glue?
I don't think Charles is very fond of glue!
No, I suppose... I'll buy you another.
Well, I'll see that you do.
Excuse me!
Hello! Speaking!
Pardon?!
Is it you? Is it really you?
It is you!
It's him!
Coming here? You're... you're...
Oh, you're not coming here!
You are coming here!
He's coming here!
Yes! Yes! Half an...
You'll be here in half an hour?!
He'll be here in half an hour!
Ahh... Until then!
Oooh!
Are you feeling all right?
That was him!
Yes! He's coming here in half an hour, but who's him?
I mean, who's he?
Well, he's the man I never thought I'd see again!
My ex-fiancé!
You mean you were actually engaged at one time?
Well, there's no need to sound so surprised!
(Laughter)
It was... It was over 25 years ago!
I mean, I was just... Well, I was very young!
I met him at Oxford, in a high.
It was raining, he offered me shelter under his umbrella.
He isnisted on buying me a cup of tea and a sticky bun.
How romantic!
Yes, it...
Well, that's how it all started.
Why didn't you get married?
Oh, it was awful. He left me.
At the church!
In lurch!
Oh, Mr. Brown, I have never told anyone this before.
Well, if you'd rather not.
No, sit down.
Well...
For years, I have kept this terrible secret to myself.
Now, he's coming back into my life and I fell I must tell someone.
And I think I can trust you, Mr. Brown.
Well, I'd rather not, if it's going to cause any embarassment.
It won't embarass me.
It might embarass me.
No, I'm sure it won't.
Well, anyway, he asked me to go down to brighton with him
for one of those, you know, weekends.
Oh, double roo, Mr. and Mrs. Smith?
Exactly!
And you refused?
No, I went.
(Laughter)
I even remember the hotel...
The Bela Vista, opposite the abbatoir.
Fairly Bela Vista.
Well, we booked in and, Albert being the thoughtful man he was,
he let me go upstairs first to... prepare myself
