The Bat Page #5

Lizzie, I told you to wait!

It's all right.

I'll only be a second.

Get in here!

Get in here!

Yes?

Officer:
Miss Van Gorder?

Yes.

Officer:
Zenith

police department.

There's a police car

just outside your house.

And the officers

in it have reported

that there's no sign

of a prowler anywhere

well, the man's inside now!

He's in the hall just

outside my bedroom!

Have your men break

through the kitchen door

and search this place

from top to bottom.

Officer:
Ok, Ms. Van

Gorder, sit tight.

I will.

I have a gun.

And I know how to use it.

Oh, relax, relax, Lizzie.

The police did a good job.

They couldn't find

anybody in here.

But we both saw

him, Ms. Cornelia.

All right, all

right, so he got away.

But there are men

on guard outside.

So just try and get some rest.

There's nothing

can get at us here.

Oh, oh, oh, Miss cordelia!

Miss cordelia!

What?

What's the matter?

A bat!

Oh, nonsense, you've

had a nightmare.

Maybe I did.

But there was a bat.

And it bit me.

What?

It flew in that closet.

Oh, good gracious, Lizzie.

You're right!

Operator, operator, will

you get me Dr. Malcolm Wells'

office, please.

I don't know his number.

And I have no

phone book up here.

But this is an emergency.

Will you connect me

with his office, please?

Oh dear, oh dear, I'm

going to get the rabies.

Woman:
Hello?

Hello?

Dr. well's office.

Woman:
This is a call service.

Dr. Wells is out at moment.

But if you give me your name and

number, I'll try to locate him.

Well, this is Miss

Van Gorder of the Oaks.

My maid has just been bitten

by a bat that may be rapid.

And she must have treatment

as soon as possible.

And I was told that Dr. Wells

was the nearest physician.

Woman:
I'll try to

find him for you.

And I can't, I'll send

you another doctor.

Well, thank you very much.

Oh, he's out on a case.

Oh.

I hope it's not a

delivery-- a baby, I mean.

They can be terribly

complicated.

It never bothered me none.

Oh, Lizzie, you

never had a baby.

Of course I didn't.

That's why they

never bothered me.

Oh, does it hurt, huh?

A little.

Operator:
Dr. Wells?

Are you there Dr. Wells?

Are you there, Dr. Wells?

This is the operator.

Your call service

is on the wire.

It's an emergency.

This is Dr. Wells.

Woman:
This is your

call service, doctor.

Oh, hello I-- I was

just doing an experiment.

I left the receiver off.

Woman:
That's what I

thought, but I kept trying.

Ms. Van Gorder at

the Oaks called

and said that her maid

had been bitten by a bit.

And she's afraid

it might be rapid.

What?

Oh, all right, tell her

I'll be right over there.

Who's there?

Dr. Wells:
Dr. Wells.

Come in.

Good evening.
