The Times
Whoa. Go on.
Sir. Ma'am.
- Afternoon, Miss Evershot. - Good afternoon.
- And this must be your little niece. - Indeed.
Then it gives me pleasure to welcome you to Bertram's Hotel.
Miss Marple.
There you go, miss.
- Enjoy your stay. - Thank you.
Straight off the press! Missing millionaire
pronounced dead after seven years.
Who gets the fortune? Buy the news, get the scoop.
Is this your first visit to Bertram's, ma'am?
Miss Marple.
I used to stay here often but a very long time ago.
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you
back to Bertram's Hotel, Miss Marple.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Has it changed that much?
Quite the opposite.
It hasn't changed at all.
How very peculiar.
It's the Festival of Britain, Mr Porter.
I've never seen Bertram's busier.
The whole of society's descended.
Ah, no, I'm afraid Miss Otis regrets
she's unable to lunch today.
Yes, I'm so sorry.
I know, isn't it?
- Gosh. - Just wait until you see the rooms.
Gosh.
Er, no.
I'll carry my own bags, thanks.
Hello, Henry.
I'm back.
This is my dear friend Brigit.
So sorry.
Um...oh, just a minute.
There's a band!
Did anyone with the band? Who's with the band?
- Jane. - Yes, sir.
Those roses and the tigerskin rug to Mr Vice-Muller's room.
- Now, please. - Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
Yes, in the pigeonhole, please.
I am Malinowski. Room 321 .
Good evening.
I happened to find this dropped in the street.
I believe the intended recipient is a guest here.
Bess Sedgwick.
Lady Sedgwick does not have a reservation at Bertram's.
Oh, that is such a shame.
I wonder if she could be using another name.
Perhaps you could pass it on.
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry. Sorry.
Sorry.
- Are you all right? - Yes.
Do you have a reservation for us?
- Jack Britten. - And Joel Britten.
We have a twin room.
Miss Walker.
- Can we have two keys? - I'll see to it.
Welcome to Bertram's.
May I say, what an honour.
I hear the Albert Hall is completely sold out.
Well, that's just too kind of you.
Is this enough of a tip?
I can never tell with your funny money.
Well, er... This way, please.
Jane, is that you?
Oh, Jane. How wonderful to see you.
Selina. How well you look.
As do you. And I simply adore your...
..punctuality.
I know I can rely on your moral support.
There's nothing I hate more than a will reading.
You remember Sir Richard Blake...
Blake Air the aviation tycoon.
My third cousin once removed.
We used to summer with him at Mayfield's House.
Till Mummy got ill.
Wonderful man. Of course, he owned Bertram's.
Not that it's what it once was.
Of course,none of the London hotels are really safe nowadays
Heard how many robberies there's been recently?
Quite shocking.
Now,
didn't his plane go down
over the Indian Ocean? Sir Richard's?
Missing, presumed dead.
Of course, it's over seven years now, so officially he is dead
That's the family solicitor down there. Look at him.
I say...
- Shifty as a jackdaw. - Yes, sir?
So, the Blake family are gathering for the reading of will?
Well, there's only really his daughter Elvira,
and her mother of course, if she turns up.
If she's not engaged in high-level discussions with NATO
or beating a land-speed record
or wrestling with a grizzly bear.
Who wrestles grizzly bears?
Bess Sedgwick.
The Bess Sedgwick.
Oh, there's Elvira.
All that money and look at those ghastly shoes.
Oh, hello, Selina.
Keeps her brushed under a rug at finishing school, I believe.
Still,
the life Bess Sedgwick leads,
hardly surprising.
Oh, no!
What's that?
Excuse me!
Mr Armstrong.
My room ain't big enough
for the kind of rhythm we got goin' on.
So I was getting to kind of wonder if we could practise here
Here? In here?
In this room here?
Yes. Yes, of course, Mr Armstrong.
But um...for the sake of the Bertram's reputation,
if I could ask you not to be too...
..jazzy?
One, two.
A one, two, three, four.
Louis, may I join you?
