Girl in the News Page #3

see you alone. I only wanted to thank

you for what you did.

Not at all, you made it easy for me!

Why don't you, uh, sit down?

You stood up to the cross-examination

splendidly!

Did I? I didn't feel like it.

- Have a drink.

- I would like a cigarette.

- Yes of course, I... Oh, just a minute!

- Oh please, don't bother!

That's alright, I've got some in here!

- You've had a rotten time.

- Yes.

I haven't quite got used to the feeling

yet. I mean of not being stared at

in that dock any longer.

After all it isn't every day one gets

snatched from the gallows.

- Well, it's over now.

- Yes, it's over.

- Staying in London?

- Yes. I couldn't go back to Claw Hill

People there, I saw the way they

looked at me.

- Probably your imagination.

- I wish it had been.

I was with Miss Blaker for three years,

you know.

I thought they were my friends. If I

hadn't known you were fighting for me

and believing in me I don't think I

could have gone through with it.

That's really what I came to say.

Thank you. I must go now.

- Have you any plans?

- Yes, I've quite made up my mind.

I'm going to forget about the whole

thing and try and get another job.

Didn't think it sounded very convincing

either. Still thanks to you I can try.

- Same sort of job?

- Why not? I've nothing to be ashamed of.

No, naturally, I mean... well, why don't

you go away first for a little while

and get some rest?

I mean there's no hurry, is there,

from the financial angle?

After all, you'll have the money that

Miss Blaker's left you.

- Why not?

- I couldn't, that's all.

Well, you've a clear conscience,

haven't you?

Of course, I...

- You're not certain, either, are you?

- But Miss Graham...

Do you think I can't tell by now?

I'm sorry to have butted in on you like

this. Silly of me

to imagine your defence of me

was sincere

- Wait a minute!

- Once again, thank you for getting me

the benefit of the doubt. I imagine

that's what you'd call it. Goodbye.

Well, thank you for trying.

Yes, I won't be a moment. Bye.

Oh Nurse Graham, I've had a word with

the matron and I'm afraid it's...

it's not possible.

But I thought... as I'd had my training

here.

Oh, you know if it rested with me!

But we have to answer to the governors!

- You see,if we were to take you back...

- I understand

Yes - you've been to the agencies, I

suppose?

- All of them. Well,thank you for trying.

- Not at all.

- Bye

- Goodbye

You, uh, told them all who you were?

Seemed the thing to do.

Hmm, I sometimes wonder whether honesty

is always the best policy,

In certain cases.

- Good luck

- Thank you

- Hello, Sylvia. Any messages for me?

- No, Miss Graham.
