Shock Page #6

and see how she comes along.

- Yes, sir.

- I notice, Richard,

you've been giving her sedatives.

Yes, I have. She's been

pretty difficult at times.

I'd go easy on them.

If she's under sedation...

there's no way of knowing

when she comes back to normal.

No. I had planned to take her

off them within the next 24 hours.

Fine. By the way, how's Margaret?

- I'm joining her at the lodge.

- Give her my regards when you see her.

- I will. Thank you, sir.

- Well, I better talk with the young man.

Sometimes I wonder which are more

difficult:
patients or their families.

- Hiya, beautiful.

- Hi.

Yeah, what a night.

You don't happen to know a blonde...

who'd like to relax with me, do ya?

- That's what I thought you'd say.

- Coffee?

Please.

And poor Edwards-

These storms don't do him any good.

He kept ducking into his closet

and slamming the door.

I finally had to lock it.

- How's your patient?

- All right, I guess.

I was talking with

her husband. It's kinda tough...

coming home and finding

your wife in that condition.

Yes.

I can't figure Dr. Cross's treatment.

Why keep the poor guy

from seeing his wife?

Think it would help snap her

out of it if she saw more of him.

Dr. Cross doesn't want

to get her excited.

After all, the attack was

brought on by worry over him.

Yeah.

That was close.

It is time to turn in. You better tuck your

patient in and get a good night's sleep.

- Guess I should be up there now.

- Is it true doctors get a night off once in a while?

If you had a night off, you

wouldn't know what to do with it.

Wouldn't I? Wouldn't I?

- Good night, Doctor.

- Good night.

- Well, another stormy weekend.

- It isn't my night off.

Well, anyway, the rain

will help Jane on her day off.

Who's there?

Why, Mr. Edwards,

you shouldn't be in here.

- Come. I'll take you back-

- Don't. I-I-

Hurry!

Edwards!

Don't be afraid.

We won't let the storm hurt you.

You're coming back to your room,

aren't you, Mr. Edwards?

Aren't you, Mr. Edwards?

That's fine. Come along.

- Take care of him, Frank.

- Yes, Doctor. Come along, sir.

- Are you all right, Elaine?

- Yes.

There, there, Mrs. Stewart, It's all over.

He killed her! He hit her

on the head, and he killed her!

Her husband killed her!

Edwards became very violent last night.

This morning, we found

that he had a key hidden away.

I ordered the lock

on his door to be changed.

As for Mrs. Stewart, she's

suffering from hallucinations.

She keeps insisting

that she witnessed a murder...

which, obviously-

Come in.

- Oh. Hello, Lieutenant.

- They told me I'd find you here.

- I hope I'm not interrupting.

- Not at all.

- It's kinda rough, isn't it?
