We wrote it down last week.
- Put them in a vase for me, Mary.
- Yes, ma'am.
Good afternoon, Miss Wright.
Evelyn has just been
reading Cleopatra for us.
That's nice.
Mary just brought me a
gift of some flowers.
- Where did you get them, Mary?
- She picked them, especially for me.
Where did you get them, Mary?
Down near the lake.
I see.
That'll be all, girls. Thank you.
- Mary?
- I have to get my biology book for...
I'd rather you waited.
It wasn't necessary to go down
to the lake for those flowers.
There was a bunch exactly like these
in the trash barrels this morning.
What a nasty thing.
Come.
Come and sit down.
Mary, why do you do these things?
Why do you lie to us so often?
I'm not lying.
If you have to do things to let off steam or
for adventure, come and tell us about it.
Tell us the truth. I promise
you, we'll try to understand.
I picked the flowers
down near the lake.
All right, you leave me no choice.
You'll have to be punished.
Take your recreation periods alone.
No field hockey, no swimming
and do not leave the school grounds
for any reason whatsoever.
- Saturday, too'?
- Saturday, too.
But the boat races are Saturday,
and you said I could go.
The boat races were a
privilege which you've lost.
I'll tell my grandmother how...
- Go upstairs.
- I'll tell her how you treat me.
Go upstairs, Mary!
I don't feel well.
I've got a pain.
It hurts here.
I've never had it before!
My heart! It's
stopping or something!
I can't breathe! I can't!
I can't!
It's nothing.
and ask him to come over.
All right.
- What happened? Did she fall?
- No. I was disciplining her and...
- And you finally hit her?
- No, of course not.
- She just seems to have fainted.
Now, I think the feet should
be higher than the head.
- Try it here.
- Where?
- Here. Here.
- There?
Yes, there, a most important spot.
Yes, indeed.
heart attack in Buffalo
right on the stage,
that was the spot.
- Did this Delia survive?
- Yes. I saved her.
How's her pulse?
The pulse is very bad.
I'm afraid she's slipping away.
There's no heartbeat at all.
We'll need a specialist.
Perhaps you, Doctor, would
condescend to take over?
What?
Heart attacks are
nothing to play with.
- Never played with one in my life.
- As the child's teacher, I...
Mrs. Mortar, please.
Well!
I was practically put
out of the room.
So you don't resent your aunt
being snubbed and humiliated?
- Aunt Lily.
- Karen is rude to me, and you know it.
Karen is very kind to you. And
what's even harder, very patient.
