Later, Amanda tells Wayne
that she is going out onto the veranda to read. Wayne tells her she should
be
getting ready for the funeral. Amanda tells him she isn't looking forward
to it - she did love Dee. Wayne
tells her he wants her ready early, as he wants to pick up Beryl Palmer and
give her a lift to the funeral.
Amanda complains that she feels uncomfortable around Beryl, but Wayne tells
her she'll have to make an
effort - he wants to be pleasant to her.
At the Palmer house, Beryl is ready to go. She tells David that he should
come to the funeral, but David
says he didn't like Dee. He'll drop her off there but won't stop. David tells
her that she'd better get in
touch with a solicitor about handling her share of the business. Beryl tells
him that she can learn herself
and David is amused. As they are leaving, Wayne turns up and offers Beryl
a lift. David points out to his
wife that she would be travelling in a Rolls Royce. Wayne tells Beryl that
Amanda is really down, and asks
if she can give her some moral support. Beryl agrees and Wayne returns to
the car. David warns Beryl to
be careful of Wayne.
After the funeral, Amanda
and Wayne return to Toorak. Wayne remarks that Stephen and Patricia didn't
seem too upset. Amanda tells him that her father doesn't like to show his
emotions. Wayne tells her that
she put on quite an act for Beryl. Amanda is annoyed and tells him she wasn't
putting on an act for Beryl
or anyone else. They go into the living room. Wayne tells his wife that the
game isn't over yet. They have
four months to conceive their son, but there's no guarantee it will actually
happen. Amanda asks him what
they can do about it. Wayne tells her that Beryl and Margaret have done nothing
to deserve their share of
the money, and they are going to rip them off for as much as they can. Amanda
asks him how. Wayne tells
her that, as long as they get Beryl on side, there are plenty of legal ways
to do it. He tells Amanda to
leave it to him.....
