No, only 53. But I hope you'll still need me, hope you'll still feed me.

Sheriff Patterson can't think of a reason why Roger would be meeting a confirmed bachelor on a lonely beach late at night.
Everyone agrees it's preposterous to think Roger would try to sneak into Victoria's bedroom late at night.
There's quite a few people who have a motive to kill a simple governess

Victoria needs Frank on retainer -- she has one hell of a "hostile workplace" suit against the Collins
18 years of loyal service, including murder, and Elizabeth has no idea if Matthew has any family or friends.
David sees dead people
Frank giggles every time he says Bangor to Victoria.
For years, Matthew has seen fear on the faces of men and women.

Mrs. Johnson has zero peripheral vision
Mrs. Johnson is such a thorough housekeeper that she dusts the inside of drawers
Victoria is horrified when she realizes Matthew's secret hiding room for the past few days doesn't have a toilet. 🤢

Dedoc, Could you explain the rabbit joke?

From the other thread? Rabbit is a (blood) type O. Typo. Should be Rabbi. 😃

I still don't get it. I'm usually not dense but this one...?

The joke should be a priest, a reverend, and a rabbi walk into a blood bank. Such set-ups usually have this particular trio walking into a bar or being on a plane, etc. -- but the blood bank is necessary for the joke to make sense. Instead of saying rabbi (as would be the norm), the joke subverts your expectation by saying rabbit. Clearly, that doesn't make sense. The next line is the rabbit saying at the blood bank that he is Type O (a blood designation). That is the joke because Type O makes sense for a blood bank setting while its homophone "typo" (written error) also makes sense why it is a rabbit in the scenario and not the anticipated norm of a rabbi.
Now, if I need to explain it any further, I will suspect you are trolling me... 😉

Not trolling at all. I just don't get what's even mildly funny. I normally love 'dumb' jokes but this one? Thanks though.

Carolyn hates lying to her mother and uncle, unless it keeps her out of trouble
There's nothing special about going to Bangor with Victoria
Victoria Winters' initials are A.M.

Sheriff George Patterson deduces that Matthew might hurt Vicki, but on the other hand he might not.
It's easy to be brutally honest to someone you don't care about
Matthew believes it's fine to steal food and brandy, but don't ever steal cigarettes!
Josette Collins is incandescent

Victoria Winters is not an animal. She is a human being!
There is no such thing as widows. They don't exist.
Ex-convict Burke believes that harboring a fugitive won't land you in jail.
Like a good specter, Josette is there.
Victoria has lived through days of terror. Still, better than Days of Thunder.
