or anybody else's blood.

Then George had absolutely

nothing to do with the murder.

Well, I didn't say that.

But I can tell you this...

if Mr. Bone had done it,

we wouldn't be able to prove it.

As a matter of fact,

the antique dealer was...

a well-known crook

and dealer in stolen goods.

The official Scotland Yard opinion

is that one of his accomplices did him in...

and then set fire to the house

to conceal his crime.

I was afraid I'd done it.

I had a couple of plainclothesmen

following you, just in case.

I've sent them

back to the Yard.

I've been thinking about

these moods of yours, Mr. Bone.

The mind is a delicate mechanism.

Now, if a man lives

completely within himself...

if he upsets the normal balance

between work and play...

the mind may rebel.

Without conscious knowledge

or volition...

it may cause him to do strange things,

even dangerous things.

Now, that's what I think

is happening to you.

There must be

something one can do.

Yes, there is.

I suggest that you

get away from your music...

as often as you can.

Find some new emotional outlet.

Go out among ordinary,

everyday people.

See how they live,

learn how they work...

and above all,

learn how they play.

But, Dr. Middleton...

music is the most important thing

in the world to me.

No, Mr. Bone.

The most important thing is your life.

Now follow my advice.

- I'll see that he does, Doctor.

- And she will.

- Good night, Mr. Bone.

- Good night, Doctor, and thank you very much.

George, I really should be going.

Perhaps I can see you home.

Thank you, but I live

just across the square.

It's only a few steps.

I can make a few steps

go an awfully long way.

It's dreadful

this should happen to George.

He's such a wonderful person.

But he's so helpless.

He really does have

a very great talent.

He's helped me enormously

to improve my piano technique.

Indeed.

You know, George has been

so depressed about his... lapses.

- Are they really dangerous?

- They could be.

When he goes into

one of his moods...

his subconscious mind has control.

There's nothing especially

dangerous about that.

But if his condition at the time

is aggravated by excessive concentration...

he'll have an urge to destroy

anything that stands in his way.

So you see how important it is

for him to follow my advice.

Yes. I'm sure you've

done a lot for him.

Have you seen Joe

Where the dickens can he be

Have you seen Joe

No, where on earth is he

Harry's here, and Larry's here

and Jerry, Jack and Jim

ButJoe has flew the coop

We ain't seen

hide nor hair of him

Have you seen Joe

Joe has vanished in thin air

Have you seen Joe

No, he ain't anywhere
