Is she a patient
or a pickled herring?
Pelvic massage?
Potassium bromide?
I'm interested in your opinion,
Doctor, not some textbook's.
Forget bromides.
Open your eyes.
Look at her.
So, I ask you again,
presented with a woman of
utmost grace and refinement
within whose breast
roils passion so great
she fears
they will destroy her,
what treatment
would you prescribe?
Music.
Three times
a day, no less.
Bravo, Doctor.
I concur.
There are few therapies better at
restoring the soul than music.
Her name is Lady Charles Graves.
Eliza. Mrs. Graves to us.
I presume you know
her husband?
No.
Repugnant chap.
Possesses
a tremendous fortune.
Not to mention many
unnatural appetites.
As one would expect,
her hysterical episodes worsened
following the engagement,
until one night she bit off his ear
and gouged out
his eye with a comb.
So her husband
had her committed.
No, her father.
If it had been up
to the Baronet,
she'd still be at home
in his loving embrace.
In fact, not a week goes by that
I don't receive a letter from him
threatening me and demanding
I declare her cured
so she might be remanded
into his custody.
So, you refuse?
For her own safety.
Come, Doctor.
Yes, of course.
We have much to see
before dinner.
May I just say that your
playing is sublime.
Oh. Oh,
your playing is sublime.
It's quite sublime.
I'm Newgate.
Dr. Edward Newgate.
My name is Edward Newgate. Doc...
Nurse.
May I have
a glass of water?
Yes, ma'am.
Your playing
is sublime.
What was that,
Mozart, Beethoven?
No, I wrote it.
Of course.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is... Dr. Newgate.
I know.
We don't receive many visitors here.
We're rather
like a leper colony.
Well, I doubt lepers
are so charming.
I wish you would stop
complimenting me.
It makes me uncomfortable.
Forgive me, Mrs. Graves.
The last thing I wish
to do is offend you.
Are you quite certain
you're a doctor?
Yeah, well,
of course I am.
Because I've never known
one to apologize.
Or, for that matter,
give a damn who he offended.
Well, I-I'm not like
other doctors.
I mean, to be honest,
I still haven't gotten used to being one.
Whenever someone
calls "doctor",
I still turn to see if they're
talking to the chap behind me.
Here you go, ma'am.
Thank you, nurse.
Right.
Remarkable, isn't she?
She should be
on a stage,
not languishing
in some asylum.
Forgive me,
I'm Dr. Newgate.
Edward Newgate.
And you are?
Let Jael rejoice
with the Plover.
Pardon me?
And Hobab rejoice with Heraclitus.
That is Greek
for the grub.
Ah, Newgate.
Tuxedo fits, I see.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
I'm sorry,
but what's he doing here?
