mr. moran: i know mr. bishop has been involved in the legislative process long enough to know that process and regular order can be one of the most difficult ways of preventing anything from getting done. and i will not challenge him now to tell us how many things have been held up that thought they could get through regular order in a reasonable period of time. we have an emergency here. this is urgent to repair these seashores. national parks and national seashores and national wildlife refuges are great assets to our communities. they increase property values and enhance our quality of life. now it's clear that public lands and natural systems that they protect buffer built-up areas from the impact of storms and play a very important role. so we need to restore them. and restoration of these public resources will require a specific targeted strategy. but a prohibition on land acquisition may very well fruss tate the ability to bring back the public value of existing park and refuge lands and meet commun

we continued it, mr. pollard was there with me with mr. sanchez and mr. pollard said he was going to submit in documentation to the planner and i left at that. i was not aware there was a hearing in may alt all. the first i heard about that was this evening and i was gone. again the problem is staff could have and should have in my mind reached out to the architect. weas my he was my agent. >> thank you, mr. murphy. >> is there any public comment? seeing none, commissioners the matter is submitted. >> i have a question for mr. sanchez. when we hear testimony that your agency should have reached out to the applicant, when they don't show up multiple times, would that be your protocol to reach out to the applicant, in this case the architect, rather than the property owner? >> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. in hearing the jurisdiction requestor's testimony this evening and i think getting a better understanding of the facts of the matter, actually the department would not oppose the jurisdiction request at this time. i would agree that the d

excuse me, mr.-- so, mr. brashov-- what i was trying to-- i was going to ask-- i can cook many excellent desserts, but this is one of my specialties. - would you like to try some ? - that will not be necessary. i need a cook, not someone who can start fires. i ay y despues de tanto trabajo ! i este tipo no sabe nada ! i nada de cocina y despues me culpa a mi ! can everybody please get back to work ? thank you ! so, mr. brashov, what i was trying to tell you-- wait ! - i like it. - you do ? - yes, it's delicious ! - thank you. - it was my favorite when i was growing up. - can you cook anything else ? yes ! i can cook dishes from all over the world. sweet and sour meat balls-- if you can cook without burning down the restaurant, you can cook for brashov ! thank you, mr. brashov ! you won't be sorry. excuse me. - i hope you have fire insurance. - i hope i have a chef. did i mention that i worked at mario's italian restaurant ? ohh ! terrific spaghetti there. - yes ! absolutely ! - it's too bad they closed down t

mr. nadler: mr. speaker, i rise in support of the hurricane sandy supplemental appropriations bill and the frelinghuysen amendment to provide the funds necessary to start rebuilding and recovering from the storm. hurricane sandy hit the east coast almost three months ago. never before has the house of representatives taken so long to meet its obligations following a major disaster. i'm relieved we are finally considering this bill today but i'm disappointed once again that some are still playing politics by trying to add poison pills and offsets that jeopardize the state's package. as the current debate over the pending sequestration shows, finding offsets is no easy task and it makes no sense to put that on the back of emergency aid. it defies the very nature of emergency aid and impedes the federal government from doing its most important job, protecting its citizens when calamity strikes. on the surface, mr. speaker, new york city appears to be back up and running, but many people are still homele

mr. shapiro. mr. shapiro: mr. chief justice, and may it please the court: the issue in this case is whether the state may stick a needle in the arm of everyone arrested on suspicion of drunk driving without a warrant and without consent. missouri's answer to that question is yes, even in routine dwi cases like this and regardless of how quickly and easily a warrant could be obtained. justice breyer: i thought the question was if -- if in fact the person won't agree to a breathalyzer. mr. shapiro: the question is -- it's not clear to me. number one, your honor, there's nothing in the record to suggest that the driver is always first offered the opportunity, the choice of choosing a breathalyzer as opposed to justice breyer: was your client was offered the breathalyzer twice? mr. shapiro: this client was offered the breathalyzer, your honor. justice breyer: how many times? mr. shapiro: and declined it twice, that's correct, your honor. but under missouri's proposed rule, there is no role at all for a neutral and det

mr. frelinghuysen. -- mr. frelinghuysen: hurricane sandy hit 78 tais ago and caused unprecedented destruction, $100 billion in new york and nige air loan. my amendment supplements from rogers' in order to bring the total aid package to $60 billion, the amount requested by the president and endorsed by governors chrisest tee, omo -- christie, cuomo and malloy. this strips owl provisions in the senate that were deemed earmarks and all authorizing language. i'll close by reminding my colleagues of the proud tradition of congress cited in the recent letter cited by in the letters many of us received by the governors of the states affected. the house is not in order. the chair: the gentleman is correct. the committee is in the in order. the gentleman deserves the right to be heard. the gentleman is recognized. mr. frelinghuysen: ma cham chair new york late december -- madam chair, the governors wrote congressional members, the delegations of our three states have been there to provide critical votes to these aid pa

mr. givner, have i missed anything? >> no, no. i was just searching to see if i had evidence code 1040. i would note that infection f1.8110b involves whistle-blower complaints and the second section you noted c3699-13 involves ethics investigations. do commissioners have objections to taking public comment now. >> no. >> it sound like what you are offering to mr. shaw is something outside of public comment and as a party to this proceeding you are giving him five minutes and after mr. shaw's five minutes open up the floor for public comment. >> okay. we can do that. >> thank you, mr. givner. i'm turning into mr. chatfield my 150-word testimony that i will remail so you don't have to rekey it, introducing typos. i'm sorry, can you hand me that copy back? never mind, i found what i was looking for. so you will recall that when i was here, in october, i testified that 1040 doesn't apply and i also testified quite strongly, both here and at the sunshine task force that c3-699-13 doesn't apply

mr. speaker, mr. speaker, before answering the honorable gentleman's question onto the whole house will wish to join in paying tribute to kingsman david robert shaw, first battalion duke of lancaster's regiment. he died in the queen elizabeth hospital birmingham last wednesday as result of wounds he sustained in afghanistan. he gave his life for the safety of the british people and is incredibly brave contribution must never be forgotten. our condolences are with his loved ones. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in the south i shall have further such meetings later today. >> i'm sure the whole house and the whole country would want to -- associate of those with the prime minister's comments. on monday, mr. speaker, the prime minister stated that the task for our generation was the struggle against terrorism. on tuesday, his government sacked 5600 troops. why is it, is this such kept into what the prime minister said and what t

kaptur, mr. tiberi, mr. latta, mr. jordan, ms. fudge, mr. chabot, mr. gibbs, mr. johnson, mr. renarci, ms. beatty, mr. joist, and mr. wenstrum. -- wenstrup. the committee will retire if the chamber to escort the speaker-elect from the chair. >> speaker-elect, john a. boehner, the speaker from ohio and the escort committee. ms. pelosi: colleagues. colleagues. to my fellow members of the house of representatives, it is a high honor to welcome you to the 113th congress. to our newest members of congress, it is a special privilege and honor to welcome you and your families and extend congratulations to the newest members of congress. welcome. to reach this day, each of us has been strengthened by our faith and our families. with a full and grateful heart i want to thank my family, my husband of 49 years, paul pelosi. my children, nancy and christine, jacqueline, paul and alexandra. our grandchildren who are represented here today by our daughter madeline and i have to include the delasandro family of baltimore in that gratitude as well. and i must thank my constituents in san fran

mr. nadler: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, sometimes events occur that are so out of the ordinary, so unusual as to defy belief. such is the decision of the speaker last night not to permit this house to vote on relief on aid for the three states and some other areas that were devastated by hurricane sandy. i have been in this house for 20 years. there have been many disasters, floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, wildfires and every single instance this house has voted aid for the appropriate -- necessary states. in every single instance. usually within a week or two. never more than three. it has now been nine weeks since october 29 when hurricane sandy devastated three states and parts of more. nine weeks. the senate passed the bill to aid us. the house was ready. the bill was prepared, an amendment was prepared. we were assured the bill would be on the floor last night or today. the last minute the speaker without even talking to republicans -- not to mention democrats from new york, refusing to meet with t

mr. levin? mr. levin: i yield one minute to the gentleman not from michigan but from the distinguished state of wisconsin, mr. kind. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for one minute. mr. kind: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding me time. mr. speaker, the legislation before us today solves no problems. in fact it just min tains the great uncertainty hanging over the u.s. and global economy. whether or not we are going to jeopardize the full faith and credit of the united states of america in de-- and default on our nation's financial obligations for the first time in our nation's history. i do not for the life of me understand why anyone would jeopardize that safe haven that's been established in this country. we all know what needs to be done to get our fiscal house in order. both parties have to lock arms and jump into the icy water and make digs together. every bipartisan commission that's been formed to address the issue has come up with th

mr. goodlatte: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this morning for only the second time in the history of the house of representatives, we will read allowed the full text of the constitution of the united states. we hope this reading will inspire many more americans to read the constitution. we also hope that this reading will help demonstrate to the american people that the house of representatives is dedicated to the constitution and the system it establishes for limited government and the protection of individual liberty. the text we are reading today reflects the changes to the document made by the 27 amendments to it. those portions superseded by amendment will not be read. in order to ensure fairness to all those interested in participating, we have asked members to line up to be recognized on a first come first serve basis. i will recognize members based on this guidance. each member will approach the podium and read the passage laid out for him or her. in order to ensure relative parody and fairness, i may recognize

mr. givner to go over the standard. i have printed out for myself the relevant sections. but to recap procedurally what happened, the miss herrick reviewed and determined that the redacted portion was privileged. that was covered by state law and/or local ordinances that protect the disclosure of this information, including c3.699-13a. her proposal i believe is to produce the information as redacted. >> not having that section at my fingertips, or in mind, and i don't -- but it's hard for me to make a judgment on this without knowing what that privilege -- knowing more about the nature of that privilege that would require that certain information be redacted. >> i am going back to her memo as well. this is the longer one. >> thanks. >> following up on commissioner studley's question, is the privileged standard that we're looking at the one we're talking about all notes, preliminary reports? controller's benchmark studies, audits, investigations and other reports shall be confidential? >>

mr. wall stated this project takes the full intent of what is allowed and not the residential guideline of big block open space, so that's one, and for the third floor the similar thing occurs if you look at the third floor. draw the lines it comes up. the midpoint was established and the last point i wanted to make is the fourth floor which is the roof deck is a solid 42-inch which is a light and view impact, which i know view is not a problem of the planning department, but the light and air impact if that could be made into a transparent railing would help the adjoining neighbors and letting the sunlight in and the east-west axis. >> okay thank you. we can hear from the permit holder now. >> good evening. i am the owner of the plrment. i want to conquer with mr. wall that credibility means everything. i am a licensed attorney. i choose to go inactive. i am an attorney and will die an attorney. this appeal has caused damage to myself and our contractors. in 2009 we purchased the propert

mr. reid: mr.president, following leader remarks, the senate will begin consideration of h.r. 3 it 5, the debt limit legislation. the time until 12:15 will be equally divided and controlled. at 12 faff there will be a roll call vote in relation to the port man amendment. following that, the reces the sl recess until 2:15 for caucus meetings. at 2:15 there will be as many as five additional roll call votes. mr. president, just a brief comment on my friend, the republican leader's, statement. he continues bad-mouthing the recovery. we are in a recovery. the moral of the fourth quarter is a repudiation of the republican playbook. growth went down in the fourth quarter because of reduced government spending. and a resonance of the private sector sector as congress fought over the fiscal cliff. that fight came as a result of the republicans being so unreasonable. we were finally able to work something out that was a k3r078 compromise and that was good for the economy. let's hope the republicans will und

mr. menendez: mr. president, first of all, i want to thank the distinguished chairlady of the appropriations committee for all of her incredible work and help here, as well as that of the staff, in bringing us here to this moment. we wouldn't be here without her tremendous work, especially in light of chairman inouye's passing. and i appreciate the ranking member as someone who understands the challenges, having come from a gulf state that saw the consequences of disaster. and there are a couple of important dates here. the first one is 91 days, 91 days since superstorm sandy hit the northeast. 91 days since we have been languishing, waiting for our government to respond to the critical issues, life and death situations of fellow americans. 90 days in which people who largely lost their home or at least the ability to be back in their home have been waiting for their government to say here is how we're going to help you. 91 days in which we now have the biting cold of winter and the defenselessness of

>> mr. st. croix, can you respond to dr. kur's question about 6a? >> dr. kerr is absolutely correct the bar is now one commissioner member can calendar a complaint. i'm not sure why this copy went out, but it's typographical or an old copy, but it's one that has already been voted on and in effect. >> thank you. any other discussion from the commissioners on this agenda item? is there a motion to approve the changes to the regulations for investigations and enforcement proceedings? >> is moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed? hearing none the motion passes. the next item on the agenda is discussion and possible action on reports submitted by lisa herrick formerly of the san jose city attorney's office. as you will recall and was referenced previously, on october 22, 2012 we held a hearing on this matter relating to ethics complaints brought by mr. shaw. we also reviewed and considered paper submitted by mr. shaw and heard argument from mr. shaw on the matter. during that

mrs. ramsay: i can't talk about the family, mr. foyle. i was with them for many years and anything i might have seen, well, you know, it wasn't my place to see anything. i do understand your discretion, of course. but we must remember that tomorrow this boy could be sentenced to hang. it's a terrible thing him going over to the germans like that. was it a surprise? of course it was. he was never like that. well, obviously, he was never the same after the death of his mother. he adored her; we all did. a happy family, would you say? they were a family like any other, mr. foyle. they had their ups and downs. what could you tell me about the piano teacher? ah, yes, that was a bad business, too. his name was rothstein simon rothstein. he was a hebrew. he was a good man, that's what i thought. he stole some of lady devereaux's jewelry and went to prison. that was just a few weeks before her own accident. you see what i'm saying? james lost the two people who were closest to him, and maybe that was what turned his head. thank you. sir charles's

mr. larson, you're -- i'm sorry, mr. neil has come back in. mr. neil is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as we debate increasing the debt ceiling this afternoon, i think a bit of history's important as we acknowledge the current fiscal situation. in january 2001 cbo estimated that the total budget surplus for 202 to 2011 would be $26 trillion surplus. instead, after years of reckless spending and tax cuts, the federal government ran deficits from 2002 until 2011. the total deficit over that ten-year period amounted to $6.1 trillion. a swing of $11.7 rl from january -- trillion from january 201 and its projections. we began this path by enacting tax cuts that cost the government $3 trillion. the other major expenditure during those years that contributed mightily to these deficits is the engagement in two wars. by the time we got to january of 2009, the debt was $10.6 trillion setting a record for debt for any administration. pursuing two wars and massive tax cuts was the reason. and mr. johnson, while he was temporarily hol

. >> question number one, mr. speaker. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, mr. speaker, before answering the honorable gentleman's question onto the whole house will wish to join in paying tribute to kingsman david robert shaw, first battalion duke of lancaster's regiment. he died in the queen elizabeth hospital birmingham last wednesday as result of wounds he sustained in afghanistan. he gave his life for the safety of the british people and is incredibly brave contribution must never be forgotten. our condolences are with his loved ones. mr. speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others, and in addition to my duties in the south i shall have further such meetings later today. >> i'm sure the whole house and the whole country would want to -- associate of those with the prime minister's comments. on monday, mr. speaker, the prime minister stated that the task for our generation was the struggle against terrorism. on tuesday, his government sacked 5600 troops. why is it, is this such kept into what the prime minister said and what t

mr. conrad: mr. president, i want to take us have -- the presiding officer: the senator is advised the senate is in a quorum call. mr. conrad: i'd ask further proceedings under the quorum call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. conrad: thank the presiding officer. i thank my colleagues. this will be my final remarks to the senate, and i thought i would share with my colleagues my observations on what has just occurred and put in perspective where i believe we are and where we're headed and to lay down a challenge to my colleagues as i depart, because a very significant challenge remains for the congress and the country, and i hope very much that we find the courage to take these challenges on. it's critically important to the future strength of our nation, and we can do it. we've done much tougher things in the past. we can certainly take on these challenges. mr. president, new year's eve we were called to session, and we were briefed by the vice president and other staf

mr. levin? mr. levin: i yield one minute to the gentleman not from michigan but from the distinguished state of wisconsin, mr. kind. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized for one minute. mr. kind: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding me time. mr. spker, the legislation before us today solves no problems. in fact it just min tains the great uncertainty hanging over the u.s. and global economy. whether or not we are going to jeopardize the full faith and credit of the united states of america in de-- and default on our nation's financial obligations for the first time in our nation's history. i do not for the life of me understand why anyone would jeopardize that safe haven that's been estlished in this country. we all know what needs to be done to get our fiscal house in order. both parties have to lock arms and jump io the icy water and make digs together. every bipartisan commission that's been formed to address the issue has come up with the same

mr. engel: mr. speaker -- mr. nadler: the distinguished the gentleman from maryland said what had to be said. but i want to add, i have been in this house for 20 years. we have seen droughts. we have seen storms, we have seen earthquakes, wildfires out west, this congress has never, never failed to vote emergency appropriations for the aid of the states, never. hurricane sandy struck on october 29. eight, nine weeks ago. it's unprecedented that it should take so long and yet we are going to adjourn sinedine. it is unprecedented and disgusting. i can understand -- i would not sympathesize, but i could understand with members who said that the amount requested is too much, we should change it, quibble with it and debate it, but to ignore it, ignore the plight of millions of american citizens, unprecedented, disgusting, unworthy of the leadership of this house, she should hang their heads in shame. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from new jersey seek reco

mr. reid: mr. president? the vice president: the majority leader. mr. reid: i note the absence of a quorum and ask the clerk to call the roll. the vice president: the absence of a quorum having been suggested, the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the vice president: a quorum is present. the majority leader. mr. reid: can we have order, please. the vice president: may we have order in the senate. the majority leader. mr. reid: mr. president, we -- i have a number of housekeeping matters i need to take care of with senator mcconnell. senators are welcome to stay but i know there are a lot of things going on today, receptions and things of that nature. i think we're going to -- we're not going to have speeches tod today. we'll have plenty of time to do that at a subsequent time. but with -- and i doubt that we'll have any votes. there may be a need for one roll call vote later on. we'll see what happens after the house takes action today. but i hope that's not the case. so having said that. peop

mr. issa: mr.aker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. issa: mr. speaker, i recognize myself for such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. issa: mr. speaker, for the last two years, oversight has worked diligently. our professionals have worked to a certain extent against their own best interest. they found excesses in pay and compensation within the federal system and moved with careful detail to try to reduce those amounts, make it more commensurate with the private sector. currently, federal workers receive typically over $100,000 and about 16% higher compensated than their private sector counterparts. today we will continue something on the fiscal cliff, but before we do it i felt it was important to deal first with this bill and so i'm happy to in a few mom

>> motion to move mr. bass forward with a recommendation up to the board. >> we have a motion with recommendation. do we have a second? we can do that without opposition. (gavel) congratulations mr. bass. >> item number two is considering appointing one member from determining november nineteenth the bicycle advisory committee. one seat one applicant. >> thank you could recall mr. casey allen. since he's not in the audience we do have the file in the record, reappointment. served in the bicycle committee since 1999; an appointment from supervisor avalos's staff. we will open up for public comment. >> my name is -- hill chair of the bicycle advisory committee. mr. allen could not make it today apparently but i do want to speak in support of him. casey has been on the bac longer than any other member, handling roberts rules of order. also has an incredible knowledge of the city. he has bicycle for a long time and is highly unusual in the fact that his profession as a local landscape architect in gardner with

i'd ask both of you, mrs. miller, mr. ryan, whether or not you would favor an open rule here so we can have a deliberative process so that, you know, members who quite frankly haven't even read this yet because of, again, yesterday when you dropped it in, it was inauguration day, martin luther king's birthday. there are questions about constitutionality that people who are not constitutional experts are trying to grabble with. so would you be in favor of bringing this to the floor under an open rule tomorrow? >> as a fellow chairman, i'll defer to this chairman. i don't want to tell mr. chairman how to run his committee because a lot of times there are other issues that you just don't know about to take into consideration. >> does -- do you have an opinion on whether this should be an open or closed rule? >> i also will defer to your rules committee to debate afterward. that's why you have this committee. >> i'm not particularly surprised by your answer. but i think it's an important point to make. and the other thing is,

seeing none, mr. pach echo, if you could call the roll. >> we have a motion from the president to reschedule item 8 to february 13th. on that motion vice president fung? >> aye. >> thank you. commissioner hurtado is absent. commissioner lazarus? >> aye. >> commissioner haabed honda? >> aye. >> thank you. the vote is 4-0 and that appeal is rescheduled until february 13th. >> item 1 is public comment for anyone who would like to speak to the board on an item or a subject that is not on the board's calendar this evening. is there anyone here who would like to speak under "general public comment?" seeing no public comment we'll move to item 2, which is election of officers, article 1 section 169 board's rules states that the president and vice president shall be elected at the first regular meeting of the board held after the [#1wr5-/]th day of january each year and tonight is that board's meeting. as such the election of officers is on the board's calendar. and just if i could take a brief moment for pro

mr. hatch: mr. president, i rise today to introduce the immigration innovation or i-squared act of 2013. i'm pleased to be joined here by my colleagues, senator amy klobuchar, senator marco rubio and senator chris coons, without whom this bill wouldn't have materialized. all four of us have worked very closely together and each one deserves total credit for this bill. together we have drafted one of the first bipartisan immigration bills this congress, one that is designed to address the shortage of high-skilled labor that we face in this country. this shortage has reached a crisis level. for too long, our country has been unable to meet the ever-increasing demand for workers trained in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics or stem fields. as a result, some of our nation's top technology markets like silicon valley, seattle, boston, new york and salt lake city are in desperate need for qualified stem workers. it is critical that we not only recognize this shortage of high-skilled work

colleague mr. brooks' amendment on assistance so many of our constituents think that a foreign assistance programs budgets are less than 1% and i believe strongly that so many of these programs are for national security and we can't protect the nation alone and we need our allies to work together to ensure that the nation is safe and its u.s. national security that has benefited by assistance. .. until we're in a position we do not need to transit over their soil, it appears to me the best supply route is to continue to pay this transit fee as we go over pakistan, and i have an exception for afghanistan because that's a war zone, and then israel i have an exception for, under my proposal, because of the heightened risk of conflict. should be weakened financially because we cut them off, or if cutting them off would appear to be a move to distance ourself and might embolden israel's foes, and my amendment would fully fund the proposal of chairman hall rogers. >> mr. burgess. >> thank you for the rec

cole. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, you talked at the very beginning of your remarks about a deliberate tif process, how important that was. and mr. ryan talked about regular order. we're all for that, but we're beginning not with a deliberative process and this is not regular order. this is not the product of a deliberation in the ways and means committee and hearings and markups. this really is kind of a back room deal that -- i first read about it when you were on your retreat. so we begin on that note, and i think one way to avoid that characterization would be to agree to what mr. brady asked for is an open rule. i'd ask both of you, mrs. miller, mr. ryan, whether or not you would favor an open rule here so we can have a deliberative process so that, you know, members who quite frankly haven't even read this yet because of, again, yesterday when you dropped it in, it was inauguration day, martin luther king's birthday. there are questions about constitutionality that people who are not constitutional expe

i will, mr. carson. thank you. (sighing) mrs. hughes: i'm going out, anna. i've told mrs. patmore and i think everything's under control for tonight, but... what's the matter? nothing. except... well, i haven't had a letter from mr. bates in weeks. i worry... i worry that he's being gallant and trying to set me free, if he wants me to make a new life without him. i doubt it very much. then why would he be silent like this? and stop me visiting? obviously i don't know why but i do know there'll be a good reason. do you really think so? i'd swear to it. dent: they know you tricked them. who knows what? dent: that mr. durrant's a dealer on the outside. what's that to do with me? he's working for your cellmate. all i know is that you punched craig, so they set you up but you hid the stuff they'd planted and turned the tables on them. now they're angry. and what can they do? i'll tell you what they start by doing. durrant's reported you to the governor for violence. you're officially a dangerous prisoner. the governor won't fall for that. no? so when was the last time your wife

you didn't tell us you were related to mr. and mrs. temple. you didn't ask. you still kept it a secret. only because rog wanted me to. is there anything else you're not telling us? where were you when dr. ransome was killed? just walking... thinking. well, that's hardly an alibi. why do i need an alibi when i haven't even got a motive? (sighs) what really happened to the master, jez? maybe he just fell. how long had you known dr. ransome? ten years, since she became my gp and then my friend. and your husband? well, he'd met her a few times through me but she wasn't his doctor. why? when i said he'd been visiting st. anne's church you said you wondered whether he'd been having an affair. i wasn't being serious. in any case, he hardly knew ella ransome. and she wasn't the sort. now, if you'd said gwen raeburn it might have been a different matter. might it? she had quite a reputation in the old days. but andrew wasn't having an affair, was he... unless you count mother church as the other woman? um, since you're here, perhaps i should report something. i'm sure
