How's that? 1112 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:51,119 Just as we were about to go on, I popped a collar stud, 1113 01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:54,399 so I had to hurry back to the green room for a replacement. 1114 01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,079 They didn't see me, but I overheard them. 1115 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:57,759 You're damn right we need to talk! 1116 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,360 I could finish you, and don't you forget it. 1117 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,559 What did she threaten him with? 1118 01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:10,039 I can't be sure, 1119 01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:11,839 but when we were together, 1120 01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:13,599 she told me she thought he might be running 1121 01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,359 some sort of... I don't know, some sort of racket. 1122 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:17,879 What kind of racket? Something to do 1123 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:19,399 with when the orchestra was touring. 1124 01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:21,239 To be honest, I didn't ask too many questions. 1125 01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,880 She was always spitting poison about someone or other. 1126 01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,559 You want the full gen, talk to Mabs. 1127 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:30,239 Miss Portman?

Thank you. 1131 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,719 Erm, Lindsay's A-string was playing up 1132 01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,119 and she didn't have any peg dope, 1133 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,159 so Margs went to dig some out of her case. 1134 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:51,679 But whatever Fergus may have heard, I'm sure 1135 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,079 it was just a misunderstanding. 1136 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,079 Of what, Miss Portman? 1137 01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:56,759 Margeaux had this idea 1138 01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,159 that what the orchestra was really being charged 1139 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,639 for travel and accommodation while on tour was less than the amount 1140 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,759 that Donald was billing for. And he was pocketing the difference? 1141 01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:06,999 Yes, I... 1142 01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:09,679 I can't believe he would ever do anything like that. 1143 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,280 Donald is a wonderful orchestra manager. 1144 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:17,200 But... well, Margeaux would get these notions. 1145 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,560 And once she had an idea, it was hard to shift. 1146 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,679 I refute the allegations, entirely. 1147 01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:29,679 Well, Mr Fischer, at the risk of sounding like Miss Rice-Davies, 1148 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,559 you would say that, wouldn't you? Margeaux never understood 1149 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:36,359 that balancing the books sometimes requires a little creativity. 1150 01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:38,239 We prefer the word "fraud". 1151 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:39,959 If I have to rob Peter to pay Paul, 1152 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,559 people keep their jobs.

And if someone 1159 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:57,479 like Margeaux Quincannon stood in the way of that... 1160 01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,600 Margeaux wasn't a threat to me.
