Doctor in the House Page #4

- It's moved up to my hip now.

Out!

Landlady's daughter.

Oldest joke in the world.

- She went too far.

- Women are all the same.

The psychiatric ward calls it

"behaviour pattern".

- I've given in my notice.

- I don't get why.

She sounds a good show,

if you like that sort of thing.

- Doesn't help your rugby.

- Found anywhere else?

- No.

- Do you drink beer in bed?

- No.

- Oh!

I'd ask you move in but

the domestic climate isn't congenial.

- I could learn to drink beer in bed.

- Ah!

Oh, no!

- Come in, will you?

- Well, I think I've made a mistake.

I've come to the wrong flat.

I was looking for Mr Grimsdyke.

I'm his fiance Stella.

I live in the flat below.

Oh! How do you do?

You're going to sleep in there.

Have you had tea?

- Hm? No, I haven't yet.

- Oh, the kitchen's in there.

I have to go. I'm in a hurry.

I'm borrowing the bathroom because

mine doesn't work. Excuse me.

Oh, could you do this for me?

It got caught.

Certainly.

Thank you.

And will you bring me a cup in?

- What? In there?!

- Yes, I don't mind.

- You're all doctors, aren't you?

- Oh, yes. Yes.

There you are.

Sorry I wasn't here to meet you.

I was being feudal with my tailor.

- Made yourself at home?

- Er, yes.

There's a lady called Stella

having a bath.

Ah, Stella, my fiance. You've met.

Ravishingly beautiful. Adores me.

Splendid thing to have around.

Did you notice her sternum?

- No.

- You should. It's exquisite.

- Richard!

- She probably wants her back washed.

Is this is what Mrs Rivington-Lomax

envisaged for her favourite grandson?

- Richard!

- Coming.

Hello, darling.

Mmm... I forgot to tell Simon

I had a fiance.

I have something

to tell you, Richard. You haven't.

- Oh, not much I haven't.

- No, I'm serious.

I've been thinking.

I'm not marrying you.

- What?!

- I hope he brought his own soap.

Of course you'll marry me.

You're in love with me.

But I want to marry a proper doctor.

I can't spend my life

as the wife of a student.

It wouldn't be decent.

Now I must hurry

or I'll miss my train.

Did you tell him

we all have our own soap?

To hell with his soap! What train?

I've got a ticket for Sweden. They

have a lot of proper doctors there.

- A ticket for Sweden?!

- Yes. It's in my bag.

- This means I'll have to qualify.

- Yes.

- Well, my allowance will stop.

- Yes.

If Granny's allowance stops, we...

- Good heavens! I'll have to work!

- Yes.

- And you say you're in love with me?

- I am.

- Aren't you in love with me?

- Oh!

You know I am but aren't you in love

with my grandmother just a bit?

Mm-mm, but if you were

a proper doctor, I'd love you both.

- Well...

- Now I must wash and go to Sweden.
