Saul! Jasper! Turn off that television. And turn on the lights. And turn the sound right down. I have something to talk to you about my lads. Tonight, the dogs must be killed tonight. Yes I know we were going to wait until they were bigger Jasper, but some of them are, the older puppies, and the smaller ones can be made into gloves. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is, they must be killed before anyone finds them. There's been too much in the newspapers at the moment. They'll even be on the television news tomorrow morning. All England's looking for the Dearlys' lost puppies. Kill the Dearlys puppies and let the rest grow until they're big enough? What a stupid suggestion Saul. How on earth can we tell which are the Dearlys'? Have they got different spots or something? Can you really tell the difference? Someone's bound to hear them barking and tell the police. I've told my husband. He's going to ship the skins abroad. I'll be keeping a few for my own coat. I've decided to make the coat reversible. Baby Seal on the inside, and Dalmatian on the outside. These puppies must be got rid of quickly. How? I don't care how. Stand on them, smother them, drop them off the roof. Have you got any gas, or chloroform? There are lots of lovely ways to do the job. If I had time, I'd do it myself. Yes, I know I'd do it beautifully Jasper. You could watch. It would be such a pleasure for you. You could learn from an expert. I am sorely tempted. No, I have to get back to London. (Looking around her) What's that sound? I can hear the Church bells ringing... and they shouldn't be. It's not Sunday is it? And there's music playing too, the silver band, and look, there's flags flying everywhere. (Excitedly) The race... I've been in my own world and forgotten, the Round the Island Road race, all three miles of it. But look, (beginning to run on the spot) the finishing tape's right there ahead of me and they're all cheering me on... the whole village! I'm running now, and funnily enough I'm not puffed and my legs don't hurt at all. I'm going for the finishing tape, arms raised like an Olympic champion, an Olympic champion in wellies... !
