A big round of applause for our Hector Lepodise, For his 4,000-pula donation to the orphanage.

4,000 pula! And Lucky Sesana LLB & Associates.

With a cheque for 1,000 pula! I'm very happy, sitting here with you. Very happy. Mma Ramotswe. Mm. There is a question I've been meaning to ask you for some time. An important one. Yes, Mr Matekoni?

Dumela, mma. Dumela, rra.

I want to ask you.

Do you remove the handbrake before you accelerate your little white van? Are you supposed to do that? It is very important. If you do not do it, the van will definitely die. I will definitely do that, then. I'll do anything you ask. Is it? Would you perhaps marry me, then? Anything except that. Excellent. Good. To the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Thank you, and thank you. No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. All will be well. And all will be well. Before we go home, there are certain expenses to be settled. Hm. I need your signature, before I pay them. This is for paper. This is phone installation. Answer phone installation. Er, connection charge. Call charges, and so on, and what-what. I'm signing, I'm saying nothing. And this is for the services of a secretary.

We haven't actually discussed the level of your wages.

No. So, to save you strain, I have made my own decision. Secretary is free? Eh, mma. That is correct. My calculation, after these agency expenses, Is that we have solved five cases for a net profit of exactly nothing.

As long as you have earned nothing, neither will I. But. when the Ladies' Detective Agency becomes the pride of Botswana, As it most surely will, then I will be the first to enjoy the fruits of our labours. Thank you, mma. And may I say. That at the end of this first month, I have been happy with your work. One hundred per cent.

This is very good news.

Mma, I have a man who lost his finger at my factory.

I am very grateful. Don't get emotional. I won't. As with all important evidence, I thought it might be best to have it typed out properly. Although I had to do it quickly. And on one typewriter only.

Thank you, Mma Makutsi. See you tomorrow. Bye-bye to my No.1 Ladies' Detective. Bye-bye. See you tomorrow. The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. You have come to the right place, Happy. You are a worm. Get off with you.

What if that phone is busy,
