imagine your aunt's fortunate having you

to work for her somebody's got to take

care of this place she's a Widow on

these boats in her house for all she's

got yes but most boys your age would

rather be out roaming the

streets you're to be commended

Larry believe

me I'm a teacher I know something about

boys I know how they squander their

time you want something Mr

Frog I make you nervous watching you

work nobody makes me

nervous how old are you

Larry

20 graduate from high school sure plan

to continue your education going to

college I hadn't given it much

thought you were seeing quite a lot of

Miss Tomlinson's young

sister before she was

drowned well Susie used to hang around

here a lot if that's what you mean but I

wasn't dating

her well she was a nice kid but she was

always underfoot she all the time

pestering me I

know I'd rather not talk about it Mr

Frog do you mind I suppose a good-look

young man like you doesn't have any

trouble

finding feminine

companionship I hadn't thought much

about it that be a problem for

you I

mean

avoiding unwelcome attentions I can take

care of myself I'm sorry Larry I I

didn't mean to

pry I'd really like to help you thanks

but I'm doing all right an older man can

sometimes help keep a boy

straight life is full of dark paths it's

so easy at your age to lose the

way many Temptations come our way but if

we refuse to learn from our

mistakes if we make them a way of life

sound just like my Aunt Eunice I'm

trying to be your friend Larry look Mr

Frog I I'm doing all right right if I

ever need your advice well I know where

[Music]

I must be sure before I kill

again what does he mean again you

haven't had a murder here since

prohibition what about Toby cwell po

people saw Opel Janssen shoot him I mean

an unsolved murder

oh that's maybe he's talking about Susie

Tomlinson now you know the coroner ruled

that an

accident I didn't buy that then I don't

buy it now look you're hired to keep the

peace not to stir up more

trouble Bill we try to solve crimes not

cover them up this is a summer Resort

the tourist trade here keeps the natives

alive all winter and no elected official

is going to hand down a verdict that's

going to scare off the tourists

especially if not a single shred of

evidence what about this some crank

maybe maybe he's a

murderer only a pyo could write a letter

like this someone who reads his own

corruption into everything he

sees look how if this Letter's on the

level you got a Sitting Duck out there

and before you know it he' be a dead

duck you wouldn't want that to happen

would you of course not all right and

why don't you let me nose around a

little ask a few questions okay all

right all

right

Phill keep this to yourself no leak to

the newspapers no nothing unless you're

sure

okay telephone

Edith oh all right Florian see if be

awake yet

morning kitten where are you

rushing Larry and I are going on a

picnic your mother is going to be

furious that's news Beth your mother and

I had a long talk last night after you

she's heard rumors about you and Larry

she's thinking of packing you off to the

city she wouldn't

you know that she would so take a tip

from your old pal here and get home in

time for this shindig tonight I will I

promise and I'll be the perfect Junior

Hostess tell her for me get out of here

[Music]

bottom

I heard you had a breakdown after she

after it

happened I'm not intruding I hope I saw

the car outside this is Mr Archer Mr fr

wrong I hope another thing Mr fright

dog well I I won't

intrude you'll know where to find me if

I can be of any assistance thank you but

I'm already in your debt not at all not

at

all good day

sir Miss dominon I'm not here to hurt

you any more than you've already been

hurt it sounds trit doesn't

it fact is I'm reopening your sister's

case why because I'm not satisfied with

the coroner's verdict why aren't you

satisfied I've made some inquiries about

Susan and her

friends among other things I learned

that Susan was an excellent swimmer

Susan slipped

and hit her head on the

dock she was unconscious when she fell

into the

water you don't really believe that I

have no reason to disbelieve it why do

you ask such a

question

mron did Susan have any close friends

that you were concerned

about Susan had lots of nice friends I

mean

boyfriends just what are you

suggesting I understand you kept a

pretty tight rain on

her maybe too tight young girl needs

close supervision and you gave her close

supervision very

close and so she reacted quite

naturally she rebelled she had dates

behind your back

it's not true she spent quite a lot of

time down at the boat house with Larry

Carter for one I don't wish to just

it now why do you suppose they're

pestering that poor deer again I don't

know oh it's uh Tuesday again I

see well you told me if I if I if I

worked weekends I could have two dayss

off I'll not go back on my Christian

word you know that but I do think you're

seeing too much of that petted girl well

who I see and how often I see her is my

business and Unice I've noticed a

disturbing change in you lately Larry

you've been keeping bad hours there's

been talk even Mr frog has remarked

about your behavior I figured he'd be

meddling Mr frag is a nice religious man

and you do well to his example pity he's

only here for the summer yeah ain't that

a shame now don't be sirly young man I'm

not being sirly perverseness was there

ever so much perverseness in the world I
