yeah but I thought it was just an excuse

to slip out for a quiet point I just

can't believe it are you sure it was him

well of course it was him I ought to

know Albert's voice after all these

years well perhaps he just went around

to do a little job for her yes and I

sound innocent to me just wait Le gets

back home oh now don't do anything you

might regret I won't regret it I'll

enjoy it you're all entitled to make one

mistake you're quite right Barbara but

overcat on nobody noticed oh come on

Albert get your toes

off go room

this would never have happened if he

hadn't retired how'd you make that out

well he's got more energy now hasn't

he perhaps he just gone around to talk

about old times from what I heard it's

more like an action

replay can't you just forgive and forget

no you can't throw away 40 years of

marriage over one little thing Barbara's

right I mean he's only human he was

tempted and he fell it could happen to

anyone it could happen to me now Barbara

would understand if I felt she'd forgive

and forget wouldn't you love wouldn't

I'd scratch your eyes
