Strangers in the Night Page #5

Morton Blake.

Mrs. Blake?

She certainly must be sick to call me.

Well! Here we go again.

See you later Tommy.

Good luck.

Oh doctor, my daughter's fiancee.

His back, I don't know...

- Leslie...

- Leslie?

You know him?

- We met.

- We were on the same train.

Don't worry, I think I'll be

all right in a few minutes.

No, you stay right here until we can

arrange to have you moved upstairs.

- Thank you very much, doctor.

- I'll stop in again tomorrow.

Don't put yourself to any trouble.

Unless you think it's necessary.

I assure you, I wouldn't come back

unless I thought it was necessary.

- Of course. Goodbye, doctor.

- Goodbye.

Dr. Ross.

- Yes?

- I want to talk to you.

- Why? Of course.

- When can I see you?

- Whenever you like.

- Then I'll come to the office tomorrow.

Please, don't say anything

about it to Mrs. Blake.

Of course not, if

you don't want me to.

Thank you, doctor.

- What are you doing out there?

- Nothing. I just came out for a moment.

- You're lying. You talked to that woman.

- No, I didn't Hilda.

I didn't even see her.

Hey, we caught us a real character out

there. From that Blake menagerie.

Name of Ivy Miller,

got time for her?

Have I, bring her in even

if you have to drag her.

Okay, you're the doctor

as the saying goes.

Would you come in, please, Miss Miller?

Won't you come in?

- Dr. Ross... - Now there's no

reason to be nervous, Miss Miller.

- I know, but...

- Please sit down.

Just as I told you, I'm having

terrible trouble getting to sleep.

If there's anything you

can give me that will...

I'm afraid it'll be little difficult

for me to prescribe anything.

- I know so little about you. - There's

nothing seriously wrong with me.

It's just that I'm... nervous, that's all.

There's always a reason

for nervousness.

People have problems, conflicts. Sometimes

they're troubled by those about them.

There is nothing like that, doctor.

Mrs. Blake

and I've been good

friends for years.

I must say that yesterday

you gave me the impression

you wanted to tell me

something important.

I didn't mean to...

I'm sorry. I must have been mistaken.

I'll give you something to help you sleep.

- I, Dr. Ross...

- Yes?

I just hope it's strong. I really can't

sleep.

I think you will find it strong enough.

You have to take this to

Britton's Drug Store.

They are the only druggist in

town who can fill it.

Dr. Ross, you're right, I haven't told you

why I really came here.

I thought not. Now why don't you

sit down and tell me quietly.

It's about Rosemary and Mrs. Blake.

Pardon me.

Hello?

Oh, Mrs. Blake...

No, no, no, no.

No, she isn't.

If she comes in, I'll be glad

to give her your message.
