The Other Love Page #7

have you been drinking?

- Mm-hmm.

You shouldn't.

If Tony ever finds out...

Tony has nothing to do

with it anymore.

- What do you mean?

- I wanted to tell you

back at the hotel,

But I was much too fascinated

by your passenger.

I'm leaving in a few days.

Karen, I'm well.

Tony said this morning

I could go.

Oh, I'm so happy for you.

I'm so happy for myself.

- How soon?

- Monday morning.

Will your husband

come to meet you?

No.

No, I'll surprise him.

Did you do that?

Well, I'm afraid so.

Let's stop and see.

No, no, we've

got to get back.

Remember, 6:
00.

I'll tell you a secret.

In 30 years, Frau Linnaker's

never learned how

to make good coffee.

That's one reason

I would like to

come up here more often.

Another less important

one is to see you.

- Come in.

Professor Linnaker,

your car is here.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming up.

When I sent Karen to you,

I had one regret.

The world was losing

a great artist

And we have far too

few that we can afford

to be reckless with them.

But now this

is hard, Tony.

I wish I could be more

of a help to you,

But all I can say

you already found out

for yourself.

She has a chance.

Slim, but a chance.

It'll take everything we've

learned plus something.

I don't need to tell

you that. You know it.

Yes, I know.

How is she bearing up?

She's being wonderful.

- Does she know

how ill she is?

- No, she doesn't.

Professor Linnaker.

What a wonderful surprise.

What a delight to see you.

Careful, Karen.

I'm not that old.

How are you, dear?

How's your rheumatism?

- Still faithful to me.

- And your liver?

We're not on speaking terms.

Have you cut out

those big black cigars?

Young lady, I am the doctor,

and I ask the questions.

However, thank you for the idea.

No, I have not cut them out.

- Isn't he a darling?

How long are you staying?

- I'm leaving right now.

Oh, and I thought

you'd come up here

to take care of me.

- Let Tony take care of you.

- Tony's a jailer.

- Good.

- He doesn't know what

the word leniency means.

And I feel so strong now,

so ready for anything.

You do what Tony tells you.

He knows how

strong you are.

Well, I must be off.

I have a long ride

before dark.

- Goodbye, Tony.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Karen.

- Bye.

What a sweet man.

Why didn't you tell

me who was coming?

I didn't know myself.

I've had

a glorious afternoon.

So I see.

Come into my office,

will you?

What happened this afternoon?

Oh, nothing spectacular.

And yet in a way,

something miraculous.

I was doing some shopping

in the village, just

a few little things,

When suddenly I

had the feeling that

everything bad was over.

I could pick up the threads
