Philip Calvin, Batavian oil operator
and wife lost in tragedy; Leslie Calvin
their daughter, among those rescued
Did you ever go to a funeral
where the minister forgot the sermon?
Did you?
And the man next to you died
as they threw him overboard?
And all that you thought was
there will be more water to drink.
And you didn't care if he was dead.
And a sailor got up and said
Oh, God, we consign this soul
to your keeping
and the body to thee.
And he couldn't remember any more.
And then one beside you says
'deep' ????????
Actually you're almost well now.
Have you ever thought about
what you're going to do
after you leave the hospital?
Do you have any friends
or relatives to go to?
An uncle and aunt; my mother's sister.
Live in New York.
Would you know their address?
My mother told me to write her
if anything happened.
Then do it. Right away.
But I don't know them.
I haven't seen them.
I don't even know what they look like.
What difference does that make?
They'll certainly be anxious
to hear from you.
Oh, but Dr. Winter,
there's so much to be said. I...
Tell you what
I'll do all the explaining.
You just write a note to enclose.
Now
What is the name?
Mrs. Norbert Lamont
1059 Freemont Building
New York City
Good morning. Have you eaten everything?
I'm not hungry.
Maybe this will give you an appetite.
Who is it from?
Probably from your aunt and uncle.
But it's not postmarked from New York.
Belleville, Louisiana.
Why don't you open it and find out?
It is. It's from Aunt Emily.
It must have been forwarded
from New York.
They're in Belleville;
What do you know?
Belleville's only about 90 miles away.
Go on.
Read it. What does it say?
They want me. They want me to come!
Of course they do. Go on.
Are you surprised to find us here?
Norbert's grandfather left him
But of course we never lived here.
And now
with the children away we decided
to come down and look it over.
And we are just camping out but
I'm going to have your room ready
for you.
And you must be sure and let us know.
Is that all one sentence?
My darling sister would want us
to take care of you, I know.
But you must stay in the hospital
until you're quite well, of course.
The doctor tells us how ill you've been.
Alright, miss, this is Belleville.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, darling.
All aboard!
- Looking for someone, young lady?
- Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Lamont.
I thought they'd be here to meet me.
Lamont?
- Lamont.
- Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Lamont.
Never heard of them.
But they live here.
They have a place
called Rosignol Plantation.
Rosignol?
Oh, that's over on Bayou Brantere.
Mr. and Mrs. Lamont.
She got off the 248 from New Orleans.
Seemed kind of surprised
no one was here to meet her.
Well, hello.
Hey, not so fast, young lady.
Lie still and take deep breaths.
This is a doctor; Dr. Grover.
That's right.
- Have I fainted?
- All in a heap.
Too much sun.
But you'll be alright as soon as
I get you out of this slab-sided oven.
That's enough, Lee.
There you are.
Now you lie quiet for a while then
I'll take you over to my office
where it's cool.
No.
And then off to Rosignol
No.
No, I've got to go back.
There's no train
till late this afternoon, miss.
7:
14 And it's usually late.I have to go back.
Don't tell me you came all this way
just to turn around?
I must.
But aren't the Lamonts expecting you?
I don't know.
They don't know me.
They don't want me.
I'm choosing to go back.
