His last meal, according to Dr DeBryn. 853 00:49:56,643 --> 00:49:59,802 This probably answers whether he injected himself or not. 854 00:49:59,803 --> 00:50:01,722 I can't see him going out 855 00:50:01,723 --> 00:50:03,643 wearing only one shoe.

How's that? 1112 01:04:48,403 --> 01:04:51,162 Just as we were about to go on, I popped a collar stud, 1113 01:04:51,163 --> 01:04:54,442 so I had to hurry back to the green room for a replacement. 1114 01:04:54,443 --> 01:04:56,122 They didn't see me, but I overheard them. 1115 01:04:56,123 --> 01:04:57,802 You're damn right we need to talk! 1116 01:04:57,803 --> 01:05:00,403 I could finish you, and don't you forget it. 1117 01:05:06,643 --> 01:05:08,602 What did she threaten him with? 1118 01:05:08,603 --> 01:05:10,082 I can't be sure, 1119 01:05:10,083 --> 01:05:11,882 but when we were together, 1120 01:05:11,883 --> 01:05:13,642 she told me she thought he might be running 1121 01:05:13,643 --> 01:05:16,402 some sort of... I don't know, some sort of racket. 1122 01:05:16,403 --> 01:05:17,922 What kind of racket? Something to do 1123 01:05:17,923 --> 01:05:19,442 with when the orchestra was touring. 1124 01:05:19,443 --> 01:05:21,282 To be honest, I didn't ask too many questions. 1125 01:05:21,283 --> 01:05:23,923 She was always spitting poison about someone or other. 1126 01:05:25,323 --> 01:05:28,602 You want the full gen, talk to Mabs. 1127 01:05:28,603 --> 01:05:30,282 Miss Portman? Of course. 1128 01:05:30,283 --> 01:05:33,003 Margeaux wouldn't belch without Mabs saying, "Pardon." 1129 01:05:34,163 --> 01:05:37,642 Margeaux did go backstage, yeah, just as we were about to go on. 1130 01:05:37,643 --> 01:05:39,843 Well, why was that? Thank you. 1131 01:05:41,043 --> 01:05:43,762 Erm, Lindsay's A-string was playing up 1132 01:05:43,763 --> 01:05:45,162 and she didn't have any peg dope, 1133 01:05:45,163 --> 01:05:47,202 so Margs went to dig some out of her case. 1134 01:05:47,203 --> 01:05:51,722 But whatever Fergus may have heard, I'm sure 1135 01:05:51,723 --> 01:05:53,122 it was just a misunderstanding. 1136 01:05:53,123 --> 01:05:55,122 Of what, Miss Portman? 1137 01:05:55,123 --> 01:05:56,802 Margeaux had this idea 1138 01:05:56,803 --> 01:05:59,202 that what the orchestra was really being charged 1139 01:05:59,203 --> 01:06:02,682 for travel and accommodation while on tour was less than the amount 1140 01:06:02,683 --> 01:06:05,802 that Donald was billing for. And he was pocketing the difference? 1141 01:06:05,803 --> 01:06:07,042 Yes, I... 1142 01:06:07,043 --> 01:06:09,722 I can't believe he would ever do anything like that. 1143 01:06:09,723 --> 01:06:12,323 Donald is a wonderful orchestra manager. 1144 01:06:13,643 --> 01:06:17,243 But... well, Margeaux would get these notions. 1145 01:06:18,563 --> 01:06:21,603 And once she had an idea, it was hard to shift. 1146 01:06:24,603 --> 01:06:26,722 I refute the allegations, entirely. 1147 01:06:26,723 --> 01:06:29,722 Well, Mr Fischer, at the risk of sounding like Miss Rice-Davies, 1148 01:06:29,723 --> 01:06:32,602 you would say that, wouldn't you? Margeaux never understood 1149 01:06:32,603 --> 01:06:36,402 that balancing the books sometimes requires a little creativity. 1150 01:06:36,403 --> 01:06:38,282 We prefer the word "fraud". 1151 01:06:38,283 --> 01:06:40,002 If I have to rob Peter to pay Paul, 1152 01:06:40,003 --> 01:06:42,602 people keep their jobs. Very commendable, I'm sure. 1153 01:06:42,603 --> 01:06:45,002 The earners, the foreign tours, 1154 01:06:45,003 --> 01:06:47,802 that's what pays us to bring 'L'apres-midi D'un Faune' 1155 01:06:47,803 --> 01:06:50,282 to a half-empty theatre on a wet Tuesday night in Nantwich. 1156 01:06:50,283 --> 01:06:51,402 And that is important, 1157 01:06:51,403 --> 01:06:53,682 cos that one concert might mean everything to someone. 1158 01:06:53,683 --> 01:06:55,322 I know it did to me. And if someone 1159 01:06:55,323 --> 01:06:57,522 like Margeaux Quincannon stood in the way of that... 1160 01:06:57,523 --> 01:07:00,643 Margeaux wasn't a threat to me. I had her number. 1161 01:07:02,003 --> 01:07:04,762 Look, the truth of it is, I was just about to give her notice. 1162 01:07:04,763 --> 01:07:05,923 For what reason? 1163 01:07:08,323 --> 01:07:10,563 I didn't think anything when I saw her coming out. 1164 01:07:23,363 --> 01:07:26,482 One can't really have the orchestra leader sending hate mail 1165 01:07:26,483 --> 01:07:28,522 to the guest soloist. We had an idea as much. 1166 01:07:28,523 --> 01:07:30,002 Did you talk to her about it? 1167 01:07:30,003 --> 01:07:32,882 I would have done once I got this week's concerts out of the way, 1168 01:07:32,883 --> 01:07:34,563 but as it turned out... 1169 01:07:44,963 --> 01:07:47,762 "Coroner Albert Lyons recorded an open verdict 1170 01:07:47,763 --> 01:07:50,002 "in the case of Rose Garland, 14, 1171 01:07:50,003 --> 01:07:52,402 "who drowned in early summer in a lake 1172 01:07:52,403 --> 01:07:55,123 "at the Belasco Academy, situate Banbury. 1173 01:07:57,803 --> 01:07:59,922 "Various witnesses gave testimony 1174 01:07:59,923 --> 01:08:02,242 "that, despite being a promising student, 1175 01:08:02,243 --> 01:08:05,763 "Miss Garland was a highly-strung girl who lived on her nerves. 1176 01:08:06,843 --> 01:08:10,602 "Her guardian, Mr Harry Treadle, said his ward, a scholarship girl, 1177 01:08:10,603 --> 01:08:13,402 "had never been fully accepted by her peers 1178 01:08:13,403 --> 01:08:16,042 "and had been subjected to slights and insults 1179 01:08:16,043 --> 01:08:18,123 "which left her feeling demoralised. 1180 01:08:25,563 --> 01:08:28,362 "This view of the school was roundly rejected 1181 01:08:28,363 --> 01:08:31,322 "by Madame Belasco, Principal of the Academy, 1182 01:08:31,323 --> 01:08:34,002 "and the coroner concluded there was insufficient evidence 1183 01:08:34,003 --> 01:08:36,403 "to support Mr Treadle's assertion." 1184 01:08:44,403 --> 01:08:47,042 GIRLS GIGGLE 1185 01:08:47,043 --> 01:08:48,923 INAUDIBLE 1186 01:09:00,563 --> 01:09:03,243 "Though no note had been found... 1187 01:09:05,043 --> 01:09:07,683 "the Coroner could not rule out suicide... 1188 01:09:21,603 --> 01:09:25,603 "and was therefore obliged to record an open verdict." 1189 01:10:03,203 --> 01:10:05,643 TELEVISION PLAYS 1190 01:10:08,603 --> 01:10:10,523 So, you adopted Rose Garland? 1191 01:10:11,563 --> 01:10:13,523 Evacuee, she was. 1192 01:10:14,563 --> 01:10:17,562 I can still see her standing in the church hall, 1193 01:10:17,563 --> 01:10:21,963 luggage label threaded through her buttonhole with her name on. 1194 01:10:23,963 --> 01:10:28,043 She was just about as big as the violin case she was holding. 1195 01:10:29,203 --> 01:10:31,402 How was it you came to be her guardians? 1196 01:10:31,403 --> 01:10:35,362 Her mother and her grandparents both caught it in the Blitz, 1197 01:10:35,363 --> 01:10:38,162 and her dad in the Far East.
