The Doctor's Dilemma Page #6

Synopsis: Mrs. Dubedat loves and idolizes her artist husband, Louis, but he is dying of tuberculosis. She goes to a doctor and convinces him to save her husband. The doctor can keep only so many patients, and must choose who is worth saving, but is convinced that Louis' artistic talents make him worthy. But when he and several colleague meet Louis, they discover that he is in fact a smooth-talking money-grabbing scoundrel. They also learn that he has another wife, whom he has abandoned. So, the doctor has a problem: should he let Louis die, leaving Mrs. Dubedat with her idealized image, or save him and his artistic talents, but force her to face his bigamy and other flaws?

be wrong:
Money or a woman.

If you do not know how

that is, you know nothing.

With the money it is just a mustache.

He spoke openly about his

money worries before dinner.

He is good and frugal, so

I borrowed him 20 pounds.

Pay if you earn well.

He was very nice and

accepted it as a man.

When was that?

First on the terrace.

Then he had just borrowed

10 pounds from me.

He did not know when

he could pay it back.

I could not refuse. Mrs. Dubedat

seemed quite charmed by me.

You mean me.

Your name did not fall.

Because of his work, she is often alone.

He does not know how busy I am.

He suggested that I

occasionally talk to her.

He said that to me too.

This looks serious.

Did you catch up with them?

No, sorry I ran away like that.

- What is it?

- Nothing, a trifle.

Nothing to do about it.

Does it have to do with Dubedat?

I should not say anything,

but it is so silly.

He borrowed half a crown

from me for a tip.

I would get it back, his

wife had the money.

Of course I gave it to him.

He has forgotten to give back.

I have only two pence

for the return journey.

No, I do not take anything. I have

never borrowed anything, so not now.

If you thought I was borrowing

money, everything would stop me.

I'll walk the last bit.

Just go with the car.

Can I have the address of the

gentleman who came here to eat?

The young man?

Yes, that with that woman.

The lady who dined

here, his wife?

She is not, she can not.

I am his wife.

Girl anyway.

I can get my wedding certificate above.

That is Mr Louis Dubedat?

Believe it or not, but I am

the legitimate Mrs. Dubedat.

We got married three years ago.

Why do not you live with him?

There was no money for that.

My saved thirty pounds was up within

three weeks. He borrowed money.

He went to London and I

never heard from him again.

Our young friend

may be a losbol.

It is a scammer.

A hard judgment. He is so young.

And she is very beautiful.

Where can I find him?

Shall I give the address?

Yes, then we'll see.

- What's your name?

- Minnie.

Just write to this address.

Do not blame me for the brutality.

We have promised

to save him life.

What's the matter with him?

Tuberculosis.

- Can you cure that?

- I think so.

Just cure me.

My right lung was affected.

But I know what you want to say.

If a vacation saves my life, I'm unlucky.

I have no money.

Let's keep silent about it.

Can I have a cigarette?

But of course.

Now I know it again. Dubedat did

not return my cigarette case.

The Golden.

A wonderful evening.

A beautiful environment, a stimulating

conversation and a regal meal.

I am very modest.

I am satisfied with a crust of bread.
