Two short scenes. Both times the second woman only has a very small role. At the very beginning Mrs Wilberforce asks the newsagent Miss Wipple(?) about the advertisment. Later, one of Mrs Wilberforces birthday guests brandishes a newspaper talking to Mrs Wilberforce how terribly exciting the £60,000 robbery must have been. Only to have the newspaper snatched from her by one of the robbers who has to "check the cricket scores"--"all out for 60,000".
