The fellow who brought you in.

Oh...

He's just a friend.

And your parents wouldn't

let you marry him, so...

No, it wasn't that.

He meant nothing to me.

Well, offhand, I'd say your life

isn't as bad as you'd imagined.

Maybe not.

I know it sounds silly, but I'm lonely.

Please try to understand.

It's been that way

ever since my mother passed away.

I see.

I'm sorry.

I suppose it's selfish of me

to think only of myself.

Father suffered the real loss.

Someone he'd lived with

and loved so long.

But you almost caused him

another loss.

Thank heaven you saved him

from that.

Where is your father?

Canada, fishing. Doctor's orders.

He'll be hurt when he hears

what I've tried to do.

But I want you to do

what you think is best...

...if you feel you should report

to the police.

How do I know you won't

do this again?

- You don't.

- Miss Lannington, for heaven's sake...

But I'll probably be all right.

Well, not by moping around here.

You ought to be with someone

you're fond of. Haven't you any friends?

No.

No one who really cares.

- Well, I'll have to tell somebody here...

- To watch me?

There are only servants, and I'll send

them away when you've gone.

Well, I can't have you

doing anything silly again.

If you're sending for the police,

I won't blame you.

Hello. Hello, this is Dr. Cameron.

- May I speak to Nurse Dorn, please?

- You can't send for a nurse...

You're hurting me.

Then stay away from the phone.

Hello, Julie?

I'm awfully sorry,

but I can't make it tonight.

Oh, Jeff, not another emergency?

I think so.

I'll explain it to you in the morning.

I have to hang up.

Of course.

I understand.

We'll talk about it in the morning.

Thank you for being so understanding.

You're the kindest man I ever met.

I'm just a doctor, that's all.

You broke your date...

...and it was with someone special.

Very special.

Signing out, Batesy.

Let's have the book.

I got you a wagon ride, doc.

But they can't wait much longer.

I'm practically there.

Hello.

- Oh, doctor, telephone for you.

- I haven't got time.

It's Julie. She says it's urgent.

- All right. Be right with you, Cosey.

Make it snappy, we're in a hurry.

Yes, Julie, what is it?

Oh, doctor,

the Cartwright girl's awake again.

Oh, no.

Oh, she'll go back to sleep...

...but not until she's heard

what's happened to Elmer the Elephant.

Look, Julie, I hated Elmer the Elephant.

Just give it a happy ending,

you know how.

Do I?

Well, sure, elephant gets elephant.

You can do it.

I'll try.

Thanks. Goodbye, Julie.

Goodbye.

Hey, step on it, will you, doc?

All right, gentlemen, let's go.

Hi, doc.

- Where to?

Oakland.
