can produce something.

I told Dr. Grover you'd want him

to stay for dinner.

- Provided...

- We'd love to have you stay, doctor.

Of course, a simple meal,

under the circumstances.

No thanks.

I'm afraid I have to get back.

Oh.

That's too bad. Some other time, then.

So glad to have you with us, Leslie.

Make yourself at home.

- Emily, I'm right in the middle of this.

- Yes, I know.

You go ahead.

I'll be with you in a moment.

- I'll show you to you room, dear.

- I'll say goodbye now.

I'll be out to see you soon. Very soon.

- Thank you.

- Behave yourself.

- Goodbye.

- 'Bye.

I know you must be tired.

Of course, if I'd only known

you were coming.

I wonder if I could see

Mr. Lamont a moment.

He seems to have disappeared.

He's so engrossed in the book

he's writing. He's hardly aware

of what's going on around him.

In that case, maybe I better tell you

what's on my mind.

I don't want to alarm you but

Leslie's been through a terrible time.

I know. The doctor at the hospital

wrote us all about it.

I just want to explain that she's

in a very nervous, unsettled condition.

Exhausted. Physically and emotionally.

She has nightmares.

She's afraid

she's turning into a mental case.

That's ridiculous, of course.

But she shouldn't sit around

and brood about it.

We know. We'll do everything

we can to help her.

Just tell Mr. and Mrs. Lamont

not to question her too much.

Try to make her forget.

They would anyway, I'm sure.

But I thought I'd better mention it.

Very kind of you, doctor, thank you.

We'll do everything we can for her.

- Goodbye, Mr. Sydney.

- Goodbye, Doctor.

Heavens! It's stuffy

This room hasn't been used since...

Darling, you shouldn't have

carried your bag up.

Norbert would.

But he's so absent-minded.

All wrapped up in his work.

Scientifics

A book he's doing for the government.

I help him with the typing but

really I don't understand a word.

Sit down and rest and let...

No, no no, I want to help you unpack.

My only niece arrives

and this is the reception she gets.

No one to meet her at the station.

And now this room

that needs dusting

and sweeping so badly.

That Florella.

Aunt Emily, really I don't mind.

- And you mustn't...

- And no flowers.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Perhaps we'll do better tomorrow.

I don't want to be any trouble to you.

Imagine you being any trouble.

You don't know what this means to me.

In the hospital

I thought I was all alone.

Now I have a home

and Uncle Norbert and you.

My own people who love me.

I've never had any children of my own.

That's why your coming

means so much to me.

I hope you'll be happy here, Leslie.

I know I will.
