Shock Page #5

Well, that's swell, Doctor. I was a little

embarrassed. I didn't want you to think-

Not at all. I'll phone Dr. Harvey

and have him out here.

Good. Well, I might as well

go back to town.

If it's all right,

I'll run out again tomorrow.

For Mrs. Stewart's sake,

I'm going to ask you to observe...

our regular visiting days-

Sundays and Thursdays.

I'll phone Dr. Harvey and try to have him out

here Thursday. You can talk with him then.

Okay. We'll make it Thursday.

Oh, I thought you'd like to know,

Lieutenant, she's resting quite easily now.

Thanks. Good-bye, Doctor.

- Miss Jordan.

- Bye.

Mrs. Stewart?

Mrs. Stewart.

You're going out on

that balcony again, Mrs. Stewart.

You're looking into

the other apartment.

You're listening to the argument.

Do you remember

what happened to the woman?

He's hitting her. He's hitting her

with the candlestick.

- Now he's hitting you.

- No!

Hitting you with

the candlestick-

Hitting your head again and again.

My head- It's hurting my head.

The candlestick is killing you.

Soon you won't be able

to remember anything.

You can't hear the sound now.

You can't hear anything.

You can't hear.

You can't remember.

You can't remember. You can't remember.

Edwards's condition...

is deteriorating rapidly.

If this continues,

we will have to take steps...

to put him in a more

suitable institution.

She's exhausted.

You haven't got far to go.

Elaine, do you think you could

manage it here alone for the weekend?

Certainly. Why?

The trunk should be

there tomorrow.

I've been wondering.

There are no servants at the lodge.

What'll happen when there's

no one there to receive it?

Nothing. They'll just leave it

on the back porch.

- When are you leaving?

- Tomorrow.

Dr. Harvey's due here this afternoon.

Harvey? Coming here? For what?

Stewart requested a consultation.

You're not going to let him

examine her?

How would it have looked

if I'd said "no?"

- He might discover something.

- He has no reason to be suspicious.

- You can't risk it. I won't let you.

- I know what I'm doing, Elaine.

Darling, you're not thinking clearly.

I've never seen things

so clearly before in my whole life.

- You'll send me a report on her spinal test?

- Yes, Doctor Harvey.

- And the other specimens.

- Yes.

You know, Richard,

I'm not sure I completely agree...

this was all brought on

by her husband's late arrival.

That was a contributing circumstance.

I feel there may

have been something else.

Well, that's always possible. Of course, sir.

But I've found no evidence of it.

Just speculation.

- Will you have a cigar, sir?

- Yes. Thank you.

Let's continue the present treatment
