The Mousetrap Giles Lines

Front

Oh! How stupid of Giles. Gosh.

Back

Mollie? Mollie? Mollie? Where are you?

Front

Doing all the work, you brute.

Back

Oh, there you are - leave it all to me. Shall I stoke the Aga?

Front

Done.

Back

(kissing her) Hullo, sweetheart. Your nose is cold.

Front

I've just come in.

Back

Why? Where have you been? Surely you've not been out in this weather?

Front

I had to go down to the village for some stuff I'd ,forgotten. Did you get the chicken netting?

Back

It wasn't the right kind.

I went on to another dump but that wasn't any good either.

Practically a whole day wasted.

My God, I'm half frozen.

Car was skidding like anything. The snow's coming down thick.

What do you bet we're not snowed up tomorrow?

Front

Oh dear, I do hope not. If only the pipes don't freeze.

Back

We'll have to keep the central heating well stoked up.

H'm, not too good - I wish they'd send the coke along.

We've not got any too much.

Front

Ohl I do so want everything to go well at first. First impressions are so important.

Back

Is everything ready? Nobody's arrived yet, I suppose?

Front

o, thank goodness. Ithink everything's in order. Mrs. Barlow's hooked it early. Afraid of the weather, I suppose.

Back

What a nuisance these daily women are. That leaves everything on your shoulders..

Front

And yours! This is a partnership.

Back

So long as you don't ask me to cook.

Front

No, no, that's my department. Anyway, we've got lots of tins in case we are snowed up. Oh, Giles, do you think it's going to be all right?

Back

Got cold feet, have you?

Are you sorry now we didn't sell the place when your aunt left it to you,

instead of having this mad idea of running it as a guest house?
