[00:02.07] | Chapter 5 |
[00:05.73] | After the coffee and sandwiches, Inspector Walsh called Roger Clarkson to the office. |
[00:14.19] | Roger came in and sat down. The Inspector began at once. |
[00:22.35] | 'Now, Mr Clarkson. Why was your mother angry with you last night?' |
[00:31.33] | 'This house is very big,' Roger said. 'It was a lot of work for Mother. |
[00:41.09] | I wanted her to move. But no, she loved this house and garden. |
[00:49.91] | She didn't want to move.' 'Tell me about your job, Mr Clarkson. |
[00:58.26] | Your mother is dead and now you're rich. Do you need money?' |
[01:06.86] | Roger's face was suddenly afraid. 'What are you saying? I didn't kill my mother. |
[01:17.95] | I need money,that's true. A friend and I want to build ten houses here, in this garden. |
[01:29.77] | We can get a lot of money for them. So. I wanted Mother to sell this house. |
[01:39.67] | It's true. But Mr Briggs wanted half the garden, too, you know, for his farm.' |
[01:49.41] | Inspector Walsh moved a pencil on the table. 'Tell me, what happened upstairs? |
[01:59.68] | You went to your mother's room?' 'Yes, I did. |
[02:06.11] | I wanted to say goodnight to my mother.' 'Did you talk about the house again?' |
[02:15.71] | 'Yes, I did. Again, she said no. She loved the house and didn't want to sell it.' |
[02:26.83] | Inspector Walsh watched Roger for a minute. 'I see. |
[02:33.76] | We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets, Mr Clarkson, in Diane's room.' |
[02:44.39] | Roger's face did not change. 'Oh? Someone put them there. |
[02:52.08] | Diane did not kill my mother, I know that. She found the body.' |
[03:01.77] | 'Very well. I would like to see Diane next.' Roger got up and left the room. |
[03:13.35] | Inspector Walsh stood up and put his hands in his pockets. |
[03:19.27] | He went to the window and looked out at the trees. |
[03:24.87] | Why was Roger Clarkson afraid? Was it important? He looked at Sergeant |
Foster. | |
[03:35.37] | 'Tomorrow morning, go to Mr Clarkson's office—you have the name,' he said. |
[03:44.70] | 'Ask some questions about him, about his job, friends, money.' |
[03:53.40] | Sergeant Foster wrote it down. 'Yes, Inspector.' 'A good day for tennis, Sergeant?' |
[04:03.31] | Sergeant Foster laughed. 'Don't say that. It's not easy, you know. |
[04:11.91] | I don't like sitting here looking at the sun.' |
[04:16.82] | Diane came into the room and sat down. She looked at Sergeant Foster and smiled. |
[04:27.71] | 'I saw you at the Tennis Club last month, I think. You play very well.' |
[04:36.20] | Sergeant Foster's face went red. Inspector Walsh looked at him. |
[04:42.88] | 'Oh yes. A fast and exciting player is Sergeant Foster.' |
[04:49.92] | Diane smiled again at Sergeant Foster and his face went redder. |
[04:57.57] | 'Well, Miss Clarkson,' Inspector Walsh said, 'I want you to talk about last night.' |
[05:06.64] | Diane stopped smiling. 'Oh, I can talk about last night. I can't stop talking about it. |
[05:18.38] | We were all angry. Mother went to bed early and I made hot milk for her. |
[05:28.44] | We were all in the kitchen, and Peter Hobbs came in. |
[05:35.67] | He nearly broke the back door down.' Diane stopped. 'Yes?' |
[05:43.74] | 'He was very angry about a letter. He wanted to kill Mother. |
[05:52.02] | Are you going to talk to him?' 'We're going to talk to everyone.' |
[05:58.84] | 'Good. Tom Briggs came into the kitchen, too. Are you going to talk to him?' |
[06:07.91] | I’m asking the questions, Miss Clarkson. When did you take the milk upstairs?' |
[06:17.36] | 'I went up after Roger.' She stopped for a minute. Then she began again. |
[06:27.69] | 'I didn't like my mother, Inspector. She killed my father, you know. |
[06:35.93] | Last winter, after Christmas, she drove the car into a tree and killed my father.' |
[06:48.46] | Inspector Walsh watched Diane's face carefully. |
[06:53.97] | 'I see. So you wanted to kill your mother?' Diane laughed. |
[07:02.55] | 'I wanted to kill her, but I didn't. I can tell you a lot of things about this family, |
[07:14.85] | Inspector. Everyone wanted Mother to die. |
[07:20.37] | Uncle Albert wanted her money for his wife, Annie. And then my brother. |
[07:28.55] | He needs a lot of money. He has an expensive house and an expensive car. |
[07:38.40] | And think of Jackie. Do you know that Jackie didn't like Mother? |
[07:46.79] | A long time ago, a nice boy worked here. He was the gardener. |
[07:55.01] | Jackie loved him very much, but Mother said no. |
[08:00.32] | A gardener was not a good husband for a Clarkson girl!' |
[08:08.16] | Inspector Walsh listened quietly. All this was very interesting but was it important? |
[08:18.41] | Perhaps. What a happy family the Clarksons were! |
[08:29.17] | 'We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets in your room,' |
[08:36.28] | Inspector Walsh said quietly. He watched her face carefully. |
[08:43.26] | Diane stood up suddenly, her face angry. |
[08:48.88] | 'What? I didn't put it there! I'm not going to listen to this!' She ran out of the room. |
[09:02.60] | 'Well, well, well,' Inspector Walsh said. 'She likes you, Sergeant. |
[09:11.35] | You need to be careful.' Sergeant Foster laughed but his face went red again. |
[09:22.53] | 'Someone put sleeping tablets in Molly's hot milk,' the Inspector said. |
[09:31.17] | 'All the family were in the kitchen last night. |
[09:36.05] | Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs were there, too. One of them killed Molly.' |
[09:47.05] | Inspector Walsh got his hat and coat. 'Come on. |
[09:54.92] | We need to talk to Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs. |
[10:00.84] | Let's get some more coffee first. I'd like a sandwich, too. I'm hungry again!' |
[00:02.07] | Chapter 5 |
