Ted Markham
- Police Inspector: Say, which of the two women is this? Mrs. Trewitt?
- Ted Markham: [laughs] I'm afraid you're unlucky this time, Inspector. This is Handel Fane - a hundred per cent he-woman. Mr. Fane's our leading man.
- Handel Fane: [walking off stage in drag] I assure you, Inspector, I'm not the other woman in this case.
- Police Inspector: Was he popular with the ladies?
- Doucie Markham: Who would that be, Stewart? He was a bit too popular if you ask me. Blazes, you could call her a lady!
- Ted Markham: Doucie, Doucie, remember, she's only just dead.
- Doucie Markham: All right, all right. I never heard yet that tellin' the truth was a disgrace.
- Ted Markham: Yes, that's him, all right. Dressed up as a woman, eh? He always was good at that.
- Sir John Menier: An extremely clever way of hiding.
- Sir John Menier: Markham, I have an idea. Do you know your Hamlet?
- Ted Markham: Every line of it, sir.
- Sir John Menier: Then let me suggest for your consideration, the series of events embodied in Act 3, Scene 2.
- Ted Markham: That's the play scene, isn't it?
- Sir John Menier: Yes - the play scene. Do you remember the title, "The Mousetrap"? Well, when he comes to my flat it will be the part I shall offer him. They'll be 3 of us: 2 cats to 1 mouse.
- Ted Markham: Yes, but, what about the cheese, sir?
