with Maida.

Of all the shams I've ever seen,

that's the worst.

You didn't think you could

make a fool out of me, did you?

I tried.

You have to take me home.

With pleasure.

'He hits him with two short lefts

and another right to the jaw.

'He's back around the ring -

he's coming from all angles!

'Look, there goes a

hard one to his chin!

'He's down on one knee!'

MUSIC PLAYS:

MUSIC STOPS:

'...left to his head, a hard right

to the stomach, and another...'

MUSIC PLAYS:

Hey.

Alec, look out!

TYRES SCREECH:

Oh...

Alec! Alec!

Alec!

Oh! Oh, help!

Oh!

SHE KNOCKS ON DOOR

There's been an accident!

Could you help me, please?

I think he's dead!

Julie?

Julie?!

Oh, it's Mr Walker.

HE GROANS:

Oh, thank heavens he's still alive!

Oh, I was so frightened.

We'll have to get a doctor.

Have you a phone?

Yes, it's in the house.

Oh, uh...I wonder if

you'd mind phoning.

There's a doctor

at Mr Walker's house.

Dr Gateson.

He's staying there.

It's sort of embarrassing.

I mean, it was

all perfectly innocent, of course

but Mr Walker's wife

is my best friend,

and if people should discover

I've been out with him,

there might be talk.

So would you mind very much?

No. No, of course not.

The number is 5-8-3-9-6.

And I think it might be better if

you didn't mention my being here,

just to avoid any misunderstanding.

Well, there's nothing broken.

Might be a slight concussion.

We'll know better

in the morning.

And I don't have to tell his

mother and father tonight?

John, just give me a hand here,

will you? Maida, perhaps you

better get those car keys. OK.

Thank you so much for your help.

I don't think I know your name.

Eden. Julie Eden.

Oh.

Thank you again, Miss Eden.

He's all right. I told

him to take it rather easy today.

Come in.

Well, you certainly

were lucky, weren't you?

Yeah, I suppose so.

Alec, you must admit that things

have been rather difficult for me

for some time.

Why...I know you feel that

I've failed you in certain ways,

but it doesn't seem to me that

you've done much to help.

And now, and I don't mean to

complain, but there is a limit.

Meaning? Miss Eden.

How do you know about Miss Eden?

Does that matter?

All right. I've seen

Miss Eden exactly twice.

Yesterday afternoon, we...

Oh, so you've seen

her before last night.

Last night?

Her sketchbook was in your car.

It was all pretty obvious.

No, Maida, you're barking

up the wrong tree.

I wasn't out with Miss Eden,

though I wish I could have been.

And whom were you out with?

Your dear, and, as she insists,

your very best friend, Suzanne.

Don't be childish, Alec.

I have no illusions about Suzanne,

but in this particular instance,
