Sorry, Wrong Number Page #3

- Mr. Stevenson isn't home.

- Mr. Stevenson not home yet?

- Do you know where he is?

- Why, no, I don't.

He was supposed to

come home hours ago.

That is odd, isn't it?

Last time I saw him, he was

leaving to keep an appointment.

- Where?

- No, I don't know where.

But I do know he had a lunch date

with a young lady.

Oh, yes, rather good-looking.

She came into the office

this morning.

Said her name was Lord.

Mrs. Frederick Lord.

Seemed very anxious to see him.

Waited for him at least two hours.

Mr. Stevenson.

Someone to see you.

Some other time.

I told you, I'm busy today.

Hello, Henry.

- Don't you remember me?

- Why...

Why, sure, sure.

Well, now, what do you know?

Come in, won't you?

Yes, that's just the way

he greeted her, Mrs. Stevenson.

He didn't seem to be expecting her.

But I'm sure she was somebody

of importance to him.

Unfortunately, I couldn't hear much

of what they said.

But the conversation

wasn't very long...

and I do know Mr. Stevenson

made a date to meet her later.

I'll be there in about an hour.

Ask for Maurice.

Thank you.

I'll be there.

I don't know why,

but he didn't leave with her.

I'll be back later this afternoon.

If anyone calls, take the message.

- I'll be in touch with you.

- Yes, Mr. Stevenson.

I don't know where he went

after that, Mrs. Stevenson.

All I know is, I never saw

or heard from him again all day.

It was 6:
30 when I went home.

I was practically the last to leave

except for Jimmy, the porter.

No, he didn't even come back

to get his messages.

There was only one.

Some man on Staten Island...

who keeps calling him every week.

A Mr. Evans.

A regular pest he is too.

But on the other hand,

it's not at all unusual...

for Mr. Stevenson

to stay away all day.

And I'm sure it's nothing

to worry about.

Now, I do hope I haven't let

any cat out of the bag.

But I'm sure

it was all quite harmless.

Mr. Stevenson seems so devoted...

speaks so beautifully of you.

Did you like the flowers this week?

I had the feeling...

I mean, I thought...

camellias might be sweet

just for a change, you know.

- Mr. Stevenson, please.

- He's not in. Who's calling?

- Mr. Evans. When do you expect him?

- I don't know.

- He should be here any minute.

- You know where I could reach him?

I'm sure I don't know where

Mr. Stevenson is. Call back later.

Would 15 minutes be all right?

I haven't much time.

- I'm leaving before midnight.

- All right. Fifteen minutes.

Thank you. And you'll tell him

I called in case he does come in?

The name is Evans.

It's very important.

Yes, all right.

Hello, this is

the Lord residence.

I'd like to speak

to Mrs. Lord, please.
