The Lady Vanishes - A Conversation About a Missing Lady
Iris Henderson:
I was having tea about an hour ago with an English lady. You saw her, didn't you?
Charters:
Well, I don't know, I mean, I was talking to my friend, wasn't I?
Caldicott:
Indubitably.
Iris Henderson:
Yes, but you were sitting at the next table. She turned and borrowed the sugar. You must remember.
Charters:
Yes, I recall passing the sugar.
Iris Henderson:
Well then you saw her.
Charters:
I repeat we were deep in conversation. We were discussing cricket.
Iris Henderson:
Well, I don't see how a thing like cricket can make you forget seeing people.
Charters:
Oh, don't you? If that's your attitude, there's nothing more to be said! Come Caldicott. "A thing like cricket!
Gilbert:
Wrong tactics. We should've told him we were looking for a lost cricket ball.
