Summerfield Page #2

---

Where is she?

She's in my car,

down by the bridge.

She came straight

out in front of me,

there was nothing I could do.

She has a broken leg.

Now wait a minute

shouldn't we tell Sally's mother?

I am her mother.

Get in.

Believe you had an accident ?

Yes.

Quite spoiled your day I expect?

Yes.

That poor little Abbott kid

with her run of bad luck.

Did you meet him?

Who?

David Abbott

Sally's uncle.

No, no I didn't.

They inherited Summerfield

when their mother died.

Been in the family ever since

their great great grandfather

settled there over 150 years ago.

He was a sea captain.

Saw it from his ship.

Then went back and settled there.

Beautiful spot.

Yeah, yes it is.

Not that I'd wanna live there.

Stuck out like a shag on a rock.

Will it have to be reset?

I'm sure it won't

Are you comfortable?

Yes thankyou.

I'll make you a hot drink.

Will I have to go to

the doctor's again?

I don't know.

No, I don't think so.

Hello uncle David.

Hello silly Sally.

She should be at

school. She could manage.

Like she managed today?

You can't be watching her

every moment of the day.

Don't you think I know that David?

Doing your work programme?

Yes, that's right.

Bit of a business isn't it?

Yes, really must finish it off.

Must've been about 10 years ago

that Jenny Abbott went away overseas

She was away quite a while.

When she came back

she had Sally with her.

I always typed Peter's

work programme for him.

Here

on the typewriter in the office.

Oh well I'd better be

Jim'll be expecting me

to come to bed diretcly.

Sleep tight.

Goodnight.

Hello.

Hello.

No it's alright

thanks, I can manage

How's the patient?

Mending slowly.

When will she be back at school?

Not for a while i'm afraid.

Quite a bad break.

There was nothing I

could do, you know.

She did come straight

out in front of me.

Can we write our names on it?

We've been so worried.

I told you that when

you're well enough

you can come back and not before.

Did you bring anything with you?

No.

Well you're to come

home with me immediately.

I hope this has been

amusing for you Mr Robinson.

It certainly hasn't been for me.

You can't blame Mr Robinson mommy.

He didn't know I was here either.

Did he?

No.

I feel very foolish.

I'm sorry.

Well don't apologise

I'd have done the same thing

I'm sure.

I know that it seems hard on Sally

but we'll just have to help her

as best we can at home

and really I can't be

driving her back and forth.

Well she's gonna miss

an awful lot of school.

Well I don't think

she's really well enough.

Not yet anyway.

Well if Sally can't come to school

perhaps the school

can come to Sally.

I could drive out to
