10 shillings. I give you 10 shillings

and no more. No, no. 10 shillings is the

doctor in? Yes, doctor.

Hello, Dr. Arthur.

What's all this? Oh, just getting rid of

some rubbish. I'm leaving.

So, they told me at the hospital that

you're I'll believe it. True,

nevertheless.

Well, Jacques, you arrange for that

transport?

Me I do it lying rather now, doctor. Get

some drinks.

Yes, doctor.

But I thought you were going to carry on

with your research here. I intended to.

Then why?

Lack of funds, my dear fellow. I say,

I'm terribly sorry. Things were going so

well, too, weren't they? Yes, I was on

the point of success.

I'm convinced that in a few years I'd

have had a cure for certain types of

reflexive paralysis.

Thanks.

So,

they turned down your application for a

grant? Yes.

They're far too occupied with other

things to bother about the fate of

future generations.

Arthur, look. 8 shillings, 8 shillings

is too much.

I'll give you 6 shillings. I'll sell it

now. Mille,

I'd give 10 years of my life to get the

money to enable me to carry on.

At the rate you're driving yourself,

Sartorius, you won't have 10 years to

give. 2 years, then, if only I had the

money.

Well, what are you going to do?

Jim, Jim.

I'm going to the French Riviera. My old

friend Dr. Bousquet has promised to look

me up a little practice there. The very

thing. It's time you took it easy in

your state of health.

And who knows, perhaps an opportunity

may come. I hope so. Well, I must be

getting back to the hospital. Good luck.

Goodbye.

500,000 francs.

How many times have these bank run? 12.

Yes? That's my lucky 13. My lucky

number. You're taking your luck, Captain

Holiday. This time I win. I doubt it.

Don't be too sure.

I don't know how Captain Holiday can

afford to lose like that. I expect Lady

Clifford provides the money. Lady

Clifford? That's the wife of Arthur

Charles, isn't it? Yes, my dear.

Fabulously wealthy. Arthur, you won't

explain things.

No, Arthur, that plays me out.

Will they take our check? Yes, but it

won't be met. I'm hopelessly overdrawn

as it is. Don't tell me that a

millionaire's wife Arthur, don't you

realize we've dropped a lot of money

here in the last few days.

What's that to him? It's been enough to

make him self-supplied, anyway.

Well, something's got to be done.

Surely you can afford her a little

flutter. I don't like gambling.

And I don't like that fellow Holiday.

Now, don't exert yourself, Charles. You

know what the doctor said.

Oh, hang the doctor. I've no faith in

him. Then why not try another?

That man that Yvonne mentioned, you

know, Dr. Sartorius. He's in practice

here now. Well, thank you, gentlemen.

How do I know he's any better than the

rest of them?

Don't be ridiculous.

I read somewhere that Dr. Sartorius is a

great scientist.

Doctor very busy in laboratory.

Yes?

It is the nurse, doctor.

Show her up.

This way, ma'am.

Very well.

This way.

You be here long, lady? Yes.

As a matter of fact, I've been here some

months attending a case.

And my patient's just gone back to

London. Ah, London.

You English.

Oh, yes.

Well, I

I've come about the advancement, doctor.

Yes?

My name is Rose.

Training?

I'm trained.

And Dr. Heath say here, he knows my

work. He said he telephoned to you.

I know, I know. Start at once. Yes,

doctor.

The usual terms. Yes, doctor.

I'll go back to the front salon and get

my uniform. My man will show you out.

He's listening at the door. Jacques.

You very lucky get the job.

He very clever doctor. Yes, I know.

I read a lot about him.

Me with him

long time.

In Morocco.

Arthur, rather attractive Yvonne.

Going out again, dear?

Yes, hairdressers, dressmakers, darling.

Oh,

I have so much to do, I don't know what

to do first.

I see.

Oh,

Sherry,

I have been so worried about you that

I've neglected everything else.

And now you see, I thought you were

feeling so much better. No, I can't say

that I do. Oh,

but you mustn't keep your

dressmaker waiting.

Oh, that's right, dear.

Oh, my sweet.

Okay, that's the cigarette. Thank you,

darling.

Good morning.

You lost very heavily last night, my

friend.

I'm clean out of luck.

I suppose you haven't a job on one of

your ranches for a clever, energetic

young man.

Well, nothing big, you know. Say a

managership, $10,000 a year.

No, no, Monsieur. You dance very well,

but I don't think a job on a ranch is

quite your métier.

Ah, Lady Clifford.

What a fine figure she makes.

Her early cabaret training has stood her

in good stead.

Yeah.

Well, madam, I must leave you now to

think over the momentous problem of my

ranch appointment.

Yes. Or perhaps not.

Au revoir, madam. Au revoir.

If I see you talking to that woman, I'll

kill myself. Don't be ridiculous. I

will.

You're coming to dinner? I mean it, you

know.

What can I get you, like sir? Tea, ice

in it. Certainly, sir.

Now listen,

I can't live on air. I can't.

I must keep up appearances.

It's crazy of me.

And she may be useful.

The matter of fact,

there's some talk of my taking a job on

one of her ranches. After you.

I didn't say I'd accept.

Play tonight? No, I'm afraid not. What?

Surely you can persuade the old man to

do something.

Arthur's no good, I tell you.

He's terribly difficult.

I must wait until he's in a better mood.

You must think of something.

You got Dr. Sartorius in? Yes, madam.

Can I see him? I will inquire. Will you

step in?

Thank you.

Lady Clifford, is it not?

Yes.

Please do sit.

Thank you.

A moment.

Yes.

Lady Clifford

to see you, doctor. Lady Clifford, the

wife of the cotton millionaire. Oh, yes.

Ask her to come in. Yes, doctor.

Will you come in, please?

And what's the trouble, Lady Clifford?

Oh, I haven't come to consult you about

myself. It's about my husband.

I want your advice, doctor.

Did anyone mention my name to you? No. I

read an article about you in the paper.

It was about your work in Morocco.

Oh.

It said the unfortunate circumstances

which have compelled you to leave your

work there. Said that, did it?

It struck me as being very hard on you.

Not many people interest themselves in

my affairs, Lady Clifford.

Well, frankly, doctor,

I do.

Are you annoyed?

Puzzled.

Pray go on.

I hope that anything I tell you Will

not.

Anything you say in this room,

Lady Clifford, will go no further.

The paper mentioned a certain experiment

which, for financial reasons, you had to

discontinue.

Tell me, doctor,

what would it cost to enable you to

finish your experiment? What I want to

do

is surround myself with the finest music

in the world in the short time that I

have left. I haven't very long to live,

you know.

Cost?

20,000 pounds.

I am prepared to find that sum for you.

You are sufficiently interested in

science? No. I don't mind for science.

I told you I wanted to consult you about

my husband.

It is my husband I'm interested in.

Oh, Mary, please don't fuss.

Charles, you might just as well be

comfortable as not. Comfortable? Put to

bed? We shall have you up in no time. If

only Yvonne can persuade Dr. Sartorius

to come here and take up your case.

Isn't she back yet?

How long is she going to be? Oh,

Charles, do be reasonable. There's a lot

to arrange. His fees, if he consents to

come, and he's got to get someone to

take up his practice. Fuss, fuss,

nothing but fuss. Oh, Charles.

20,000 pounds.

An opportunity, doctor.

It may not come again.

What brought you to me?

Your reputation.

And your great need

to carry out your life's work.

Then you will not consider my

proposition?

On the contrary.

Sartorius, we're expecting him soon.

Everything is quite ready, madam. Ah,

thank you.

You'll be going with the doctor on this

job.

I thought you said that.

We must sit. Yes, it is very nice of him

to take me along.

Taxi here, Jacques?

Yes, doctor.

And Dr. Bosquet?

Not yet, doctor.

Ready, nurse?

You intend to concentrate on this one

case, doctor? Yes, it interests me.

An unusual case. It interests me

intensely.

May I come in? Dr. Bosquet. What was it,

love?

Have you got anything for me? Here I am.

I've recommended all my patients to you,

Bosquet. Not very many of them, I'm

afraid.

Very kind of you all the same. I shall

close up the house except for Jacques.

Well, how are we?

Ah, you work too hard.

I must.

Keeping well? Oh, yes.

I hope you'll be as successful in your

new case as you were in your last. Thank

you, doctor.

Well, Lady Clifford?

Well, doctor,

have you examined him? I have.

Will there be any risk?

If there is,

talking about it is not going to lessen

it. Oh, I only meant that. I think you

can safely leave the patient to me.

I understand, doctor.

That's a very pretty dress you're

wearing, my dear. Miss Rose, off duty,

my dear. The night nurse will be on

directly. Come along. Remember, you're

to let me know the moment my boy

arrives. Yes, doctor. I don't care how

late it is.

I want to see Roger.

And the sooner the better. Oh, my

darling.

He's very determined, you know.

But I think he's very fond of his son.

Bless him.

Hello, Thomas. Welcome back, sir. Glad

to be back. Luggage in the car.

Very good, sir. Hey.

Hello, Aunt Mary. Roger.

Nice day. Well.

I got your wire.

This is Mr. Eagle, the doctor. How do

you do? How do you do? And how is the

patient? Oh, getting on quite well.

He's in very good hands.

I'd love to see him. He's very anxious

to see you. Well, I'll ask the doctor.

Such a charming girl.

Thoroughly efficient and a great

favorite with your father. Good. I don't

suppose he's the easiest of patients.

I say,

it's nothing serious, is it? Oh, we hope

not, dear boy.

But naturally, we're a little anxious.

Mhm.

Mr. Clifford?

Yes?

The doctor says you may see him. Oh,

good. But you mustn't stay too long.

Hello, Dad.

Now, what's all this? You ought to be

ashamed of yourself. What have you been

doing? Goodness knows. I don't. And

apparently, nobody else does either.

Devilishly annoying being laid with a

healers like this. Well, I'll leave you

alone together. But mind, only for a few

minutes. That woman shows me no mercy.

She bullies me.

Well, look at her.

All those nails.

I'm not blind. Have you spoken to her?

No. I didn't want to see.

But she must be controlled. And I

realize that now I'm ill,

it's beyond me.

Rot, Father. Why in a little while

No.

And so, I have taken certain steps.

In the first place, I have executed a

power of attorney favor during my

lifetime.

You will act for me in all matters,

business and domestic.

And furthermore,

I've made a new will,

making you Yvonne sole trustee.

But Father, don't you think you better

consider I have considered well.

At my death, you will have the sole

disposition of my fortune.

You will pay her the income I have

directed.

I've allowed her enough for one.

Not for two.

Captain Holiday, ma'am.

That's all right, Thomas.

Good evening, Captain Holiday. A good

evening, Miss Clifford. I've come to

take Yvonne out to dinner. I don't

suppose she's ready yet. As a matter of

fact, I think for once she is. Oh, good.

I'll go up.

Very well, Dad.

I'll do whatever you like if it leaves

your mind. But I don't altogether relish

the job. It's not pleasant, I know,

but it's necessary.

I think that's all, doctor.

I'm afraid time's up. That's all right.

We've finished our talk. Good night, my

boy.

Good night, Dad. Good night. Good night,

Miss Claus.

Good night, my dear.

Good evening, nurse.

Good evening.

That's the night nurse.

I must report to the doctor and report

that I'm off duty.

I've come to report, doctor. All right.

The night nurse has taken over.

Oh, and the the gong's just gone for

dinner. I know, I know.

Yes, doctor.

That night nurse seems a forbidding sort

of creature. But she's very capable.

Still, from what I hear, one doesn't

have to be forbidding to be capable.

Well,

how do you think he's looking?

Pretty chirpy, considering. He manages

to keep his spirits up. Yes. As to

talking spirits, what about a cocktail,

doctor? Yes, do.

Hello, Dr. Victorious.

Lady Clifford told me you were here.

Well, you haven't forgotten me. No, I

remember you.

Your name is Holiday.

A most interesting case. Too much of an

Anna squeak for my liking. Still, I

suppose these touch-and-go cases give

you doctors no end of a thrill.

I heard you were back, huh. So sorry to

have to go out on your first evening

home. But

a previous appointment. Oh, that's all

right.

How are you, Roger? What about things?

Still knocking about these parts, I see.

Well, here as anyone else? He took pity

on me.

So kind.

To take me out to dinner sometimes.

You will forgive me neglecting my duties

as I suppose this tonight. Yes, of

course.

Doctor,

dinner's ready. I wonder if you'd think

me very rude if I asked to have my

dinner in my own room.

I'm in the middle of a most interesting

experiment. Oh.

Of course.

Yes.

And this is Sir Charles' son, Roger. He

just arrived.

How do you do?

How do you do?

You're well, doctor.

I'm sure he couldn't be in better hands.

Children, dinner.

Striking personality. Isn't it?

Over there, dear.

Joe, what a sunset.

Still, do you dance?

Yes. Why? It looks like being a

wonderful night.

So, what about driving down to the

Splendide after dinner and dancing for

an hour or two?

Oh, I should love it. Yes, dear. It

would do you good. Oh, that's settled

then, huh?

I'm sure Sir Charles would approve.

Anywhere but the casino.

Enjoying yourself? You're enjoying it

tremendously, aren't you? Lord, no.

Can't you see I'm the picture of misery?

What about a pint of something?

Aren't you ever serious?

Well, it has been known.

I was dead serious about one thing. Oh,

what?

When I asked you to come out with me

tonight. Why?

This is our affair.

Now, tell me.

Well, for one thing, I'm awfully glad

you're looking after my father. Well,

I'm only second fiddle, really, to Dr.

Victorious.

Victorious, yes. A remarkable fellow.

Seems to be completely wrapped up in his

work, doesn't he? I think it's his whole

life.

Now, well, what are you going to have to

drink? Well, anything you like, only I

mustn't be too late. I've got to be up

early in the morning. Yes, of course you

have. But we've got time for half a

bottle, and then we'll go.

Waiter.

I'm not altogether satisfied with the

look of him, nurse.

You weren't long, darling. No.

I parked the car by the camp in the

lane.

You think it's safe to be here like

this?

Mhm, yes, darling. Everybody's in bed by

now.

You won't go out with that woman.

Promise me.

Darling, you don't think I want to go,

do you?

But I've got to have money.

And unless you can find some, well, I

can't throw away chance like this.

Arthur, be patient a little longer.

Wait.

What is there to wait for?

I hear your husband isn't going to

relent.

And bet your life that son of his isn't

going to help matters.

It's pretty obvious he hasn't much time

for you. No. He's always hated me. Well,

then, don't you see? Oh, Arthur, don't

speak about it any longer.

Let's forget it.

But promise me.

Promise.

Thanks for a lovely evening. Oh, the

first of many of them.

Oh, by the way, would you like a

sandwich or a drink or something before

you turn in? I'm going to have one.

Charles has always left something out

for me in the other room. Well, no,

thanks. Well, good night.

Good night.

Very well.

I promise.

He slept my invitation. Then he'll go at

mine.

Good night, Holiday. What?

Roger, you can't. It may be no concern

of mine what you do outside, but as long

as you live under my father's roof,

you'll observe the common decencies.

Roger! By what right do you order people

out of this house?

I'm not going to argue about it. Get

out. Look here, CLIFFORD.

GET OUT.

YOU BETTER GO.

WELL, if it'll avoid a scene in front of

Lady Clifford, it certainly will.

And now, perhaps you will explain what

you mean by ordering my friends out of

my house.

Now, look here, Yvonne. I'm not going to

argue with you, either.

While my father's ill, I'm going to make

it my business to see that this sort of

thing doesn't happen again. Indeed. Yes.

And from now on, Holiday does not come

inside this house.

And suppose I do not choose to do as you

say.

What then?

Then I shall be forced to tell my father

all I know about you and Holiday, and

you can be quite sure he'll divorce you.

That's a threat, isn't it? Of course

it's a threat. I see. I've known what's

been going on for some time, and now

it's got to stop.

NO, YOU DARE to give me orders like

this. I won't take them from you. You

have no right. On the contrary, I have

every right. Listen, you are his son,

yes, but I am his wife.

And I am the mistress in this house. I

think not.

What do you mean?

I'd hoped to tell you this under

pleasanter circumstances, but now you've

forced my hand.

In the future, it is what I say that

goes in this house.

You're mad. I shall speak to your

father. I shall ask I can save you the

trouble.

My father has executed a power of

attorney authorizing me to act for him

in everything during his lifetime. What?

Is this true?

That's the truth.

I don't believe it. It's a lie. I won't

believe it. I will never submit to such

a thing. Never, never, never.

To take orders from you?

No, never that.

Who are these people? is it that you ask

me, Lady? I just heard from Roger. YOU

ARE TREATING ME CRUELLY. YOU SHALL NOT

DO IT TO ME.

GET OUT OF MY SIGHT. THIS IS NOT

BUSINESS OF YOURS. GET OUT.

I AM YOUR WIFE.

I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE BEST YEARS OF MY

LIFE, and you treat me like this. You

place ME IN THE POWER OF YOUR SON WHO

HATES ME, WHO HAS ALWAYS HATED ME.

YOU SHALL NOT

DO IT.

DOCTOR, PLEASE COME QUICKLY, QUICKLY.

I TELL YOU ONCE MORE, YOU SHALL NOT DO

IT.

I WON'T STAND FOR IT. Do you hear?

Always, ALWAYS I AM BEING HURT.

NEVER CAN I GO BACK. NEVER, NEVER.

BUT ROGER, ROGER, OH, ROGER, STOP. TAKE

HER AWAY. NO! TAKE HER AWAY. YOU WILL

NOT DO IT.

I HAVE THE POWER.

I WARN

HE'S FALLING. HE'S FALLING. I'M HIS

WIFE.

GET HIM

OUT. ROGER, WHAT ARE YOU NOT NOW, DEAR.

NOT NOW. NO, IT'S

IT'S MONSTROUS.

WHY IS EVERYBODY AGAINST ME? I HAVE

NOTHING IN MY OWN HOUSE. I AM

I AM NO, I WON'T BE QUIET. I DO WHAT I

WANT HERE.

NURSE,

get me a syringe and a little bottle

from my cupboard marked camphor. Yes,

doctor.

I'm all right, doctor.

I'm used to these scenes, you know.

Yes, but I think a stimulant

Take your hands off me. I tell you, LET

ME GO. WILL YOU GET THIS WOMAN TO behave

herself? I shall go where they want ME.

YES. GET OUT,

ALL OF YOU. THIS IS MY ROOM.

GET OUT.

GET OUT.

CAN I HELP?

YES, I MAY NEED YOU. I will not be told

BY YOU WHAT I SHALL DO, WHAT I SHALL NOT

DO. SHUT that door. It is you who have

put my husband AGAINST ME.

YOU HATE ME. YOU HAVE ALWAYS HATED ME.

BE BE QUIET. MY FATHER

I DON'T CARE.

ALL I TELL YOU WHAT I THINK ABOUT YOU. I

TELL EVERYTHING. QUIET.

GET OUT.

GET OUT.

OH, MY DARLING. HOW COULD YOU? HOW COULD

YOU?

OH, MY

It's bleeding dreadfully.

It must be seen to at once. I'll be all

right.

Here, take this.

Don't make a fuss.

Miss Rose. Aunt, don't disturb them,

please.

Is father all right? Nothing. Nothing?

Terribly bad. Miss Rose, please.

Roger's hurt his hand.

It's bleeding terribly. It ought to be

seen to.

Quickly, please, quickly.

He's downstairs.

Well, hello. I hear you've hurt your

hand very badly. Let me see it. Oh, it's

nothing. Let me see.

How's the old fellow? The doctor's

looking after him. He's just given him

an injection.

You call that nothing?

It's pretty deep.

You'd be silly to neglect it.

Here, I'll make a temporary bandage with

this.

How did you do it? Who saw? Just a Just

a cut. As soon as I can, I'll get some

iodine and dress it properly for you.

But I must go upstairs now and see if I

can be of service. You, look after the

old fellow.

Oh, he's in good hands.

Probably sleeping by now.

Now, you keep that hand there. That's

right.

Very well.

Where's the syringe?

Oh, yes, I remember I gave it to Nurse

Rose.

She's here, doctor.

What took you away? Oh, uh

Ra- Rather a bad cut. Your conduct is

extremely unprofessional. I'm sorry,

doctor. Never mind that now. Where's the

syringe? Syringe? It's the one I gave

you just now. Oh, yes.

I uh I must have put it down somewhere.

Find it.

Yes, doctor.

I can't think where I could have put it.

You'd better try.

Doctor, please.

Call the family.

Yes, doctor.

Oh,

will you please go in?

Nurse, you don't leave. Please.

Lady Clifford, the doctor says, will you

please come?

Very well.

Oh, will you tell Dr. Sartorius I would

like to see him here? Very good, my

lady.

But you must remember where you put it,

nurse.

I can't think, I can't

Then you must find it.

Yes, doctor.

Her ladyship says, "Would you be good

enough to see her in the drawing room,

doctor?"

Very well.

What have you been doing? I've been busy

searching for something I have

misplaced.

Say, you're looking a bit off color.

And I feel it.

Head's splitting, my hands throbbing

like blazes.

Let me see it.

Mhm.

Rather puffy.

I hope it's not going septic.

I'm going to take your temperature, too.

I think you better see the doctor.

Oh, nonsense. I'll be all right

presently.

Anyway, I'm going to have a look at it.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, doctor, I wanted to tell you I will

let you have your check as soon as the

necessary formalities are completed. It

should only be a matter of a few days.

Well, that will suit me very well.

I'd like to stay on for a day or two to

complete some rather interesting work

that I've engaged.

Certainly, by all means.

I don't want to alarm you, but I don't

like the look of this at all.

Now, you keep quiet and try not to move

that hand any more than you can help.

All right.

I say, I'm

I'm frightfully thirsty.

Tell Thomas to bring me up a brandy and

soda, will you? Well, I shouldn't advise

that. I think I'd have some little Evian

water, at any rate, till the doctor's

seen you. Very well.

Or you might find me some books or

something.

Was it the magazine I was reading?

Drawing room, I think. Yes, of course I

will.

Thank you, Eve.

Will you tell Thomas to take a bottle of

Evian water up to Mr. Rogers' room, will

you, please? Very good, miss. Thank you.

Well,

have you found it? I'm sorry, doctor,

but I seem to have looked everywhere.

That's no answer.

But, doctor, I Find it. But

but it's not a matter of That's not the

point.

You come to my office, Eve.

FIND IT. FIND IT!

I will tell you another thing.

This is the last case you'll ever attend

for me. Where did you put it?

I

I don't know, doctor.

I shall be in my laboratory.

I expect you to find it.

You swear this is true?

You swear it?

You'll hear it for yourself when the

lawyer comes.

In his new will, my father's appointed

me your sole trustee.

You mean that I have to come to you for

everything?

I'm afraid so.

Your income will be paid by me, as my

father directed.

Income?

The capital is left in my

All checks must be signed by me.

Incredible!

WICKED!

OH!

BUT YOU MEAN YOU'RE treating me like a

child!

Pepsi thought that was the best way to

treat you.

Ah, MAIS C'EST INFâME, QUOI!

QUELLE INSULTE!

I BEG YOUR PARDON, MILADY.

DOCTOR,

I must speak to you.

What is it? What's the matter? She's

cheated us.

She's made a new will unknown to me.

Roger has control of everything.

I cannot so much as sign A CHECK. OH,

YES!

ROGER HAS BEEN APPOINTED SOLE trustee

for life.

I can't believe it. It's true. It will

become our property when the will is

read.

What I've done

done for nothing.

Young Chipperfield,

you will have to take a hand in this.

But what can I do? I've told you.

I'll tell you what you can do.

NO, I FAILED. I FAILED.

Everything I live for is within my

grasp.

And I'm not going to have it snatched

away from me now.

I want you to have the dressing in that

syringe analyzed as soon as possible.

Certainly, mademoiselle. They'll be

ready at 4:30. Please send the report

with the syringe to me.

Nurse Rowe,

the Villa Serena. With pleasure,

mademoiselle. Thank you.

Oh, nurse, her ladyship's been asking

for you. She's in the boudoir. Oh.

Thank you.

Yes?

You wanted to see me, Lady Clifford?

Yes.

I should require your services in the

lounge.

You've been very satisfactory, nurse. As

soon as you pack your things, you can

go.

Very good, Lady Clifford.

I'm leaving for Brazil. You're just in

time for a cocktail and to wish me bon

voyage. Are you coming to see me off?

Unfortunately, no, madam. I have to go

to the villa and make my condolences.

That doesn't make Lady Clifford very

happy, no doubt.

You want to announce that WOULD BE

DROLL.

WELL, GOOD LUCK, MADAM. GOOD LUCK. And

bon voyage.

If you by any chance happen to come

across a small syringe, you know the

kind I use in my laboratory.

I seem to be one short. No, doctor. It's

of no consequence, but if you happen to

find it, let me have it, will you?

Certainly, sir.

Hello?

The Marie Celeste was on sweet,

mademoiselle.

Who is it?

It is Duval, analytical chemist.

Could I speak to Nurse Rowe?

I have a report for her.

A report?

Yes, yes. It's all right, you can give

it to me. Nurse Rowe is in my employ.

I'm Dr. Sartorius. Oh, bonjour, doctor.

We are sending you the syringe later,

but I thought you ought to the result of

the analysis.

Yes? It came earlier than we expected.

Yes?

Yes?

Go ahead.

You don't seem to be feeling much

better, Mr. Rogers.

Really, I don't like the look of you at

all.

Well, I've never known you to be ill in

all the years I've been with the family.

I never have been.

I feel absolutely limp. No, it's that

answer.

Has the doctor seen it yet? No. Nurse

said something about him coming up.

That's good, sir.

Bring me some more of that stuff, will

you?

Certainly, sir. I was going to.

My throat's parched.

Yes. Yes.

Many thanks.

Oh, Chalmers. Yes, miss. Feed my plants

for me, will you, please? I have a small

case. I'm just going to phone for a

taxi, then then I'll go up and say

goodbye to Mr. Rogers. We're very sorry

you're going, miss. Thank you, Chalmers.

You've all been very kind to me.

Hello?

Hello, Moira. It's Hilda.

Give it to me, please.

Put back into the car, Holiday, and

drive me down to the chemist. It's most

important. I'll get my hat.

Wait a minute, Sartorius.

This concerns you and Lady Clifton

vitally.

What?

You found the truth? Yes, mademoiselle.

Dr. Sartorius took the medicine.

I gave him the formula of the poison.

The what?

It is very deadly poison.

I won't than an hour.

Don't leave the house till I come back.

But I'm

I'm sure there's something wrong.

Why did she go away like that?

Why didn't she say goodbye?

We were getting along pretty well

together.

I'm going out to find her. My young

friend,

you're going nowhere in your state of

health. As a medical man, I couldn't

allow it. But, doctor, can't you see

that I'm very anxious about Miss Rowe? I

must go out and find her.

I'm just as anxious as you are to find

out where Miss Rowe is.

But, doctor, please.

No. Come with me. Just let me have a

look at that arm.

So, this is why Mr. Rogers is ill.

Yes,

I'm afraid that's septic.

A very simple injection will soon put it

right.

But just keep it covered till I come

back. I'll get something for it.

I'm so glad, dear. That's relieved my

mind.

I do hope the doctor will get me fit to

go out tomorrow. I

I really am worried.

Now then, we'll soon have you right.

Rogers?

Heard?

Yes, Rogers.

Yeah?

Dead?

Yeah?

No, that's all right.

Now for a little iodine.

Look!

THE LIGHT'S ON IN THE DINING ROOM.

THIS WON'T HURT YOU. I know.

DOCTOR, HE'S POISONED YOU! DEAR, HE'S

POISONED YOU WITH

POISON!

DR. BOSNER!

MY DEAR SARTORIUS,

this young lady is very ill,

very ill indeed.

She has told me the incredible story

that you Girl is obviously overwrought.

I may be,

BUT WHAT I'M TELLING YOU IS TRUE, ROGER.

HE'S TRYING TO MURDER YOU JUST AS HE

MURDERED YOUR FATHER. What are you

saying? It's true, I tell you.

I had a few drops left in the syringe to

use analyze.

THIS ONE IS POISON.

HE KNEW

IT. THAT'S WHY HE TRIED TO KILL ME. If I

hadn't replaced the poison with water,

he'd have succeeded.

And now he's trying to kill you. But

But why should he want to kill me? I

don't know.

Except that you stand in his way just as

I did.

That syringe contains poison. These are

the ravings of a maniac. There is a very

simple way of washing the ridiculous

suggestion that there is poison in that

syringe.

Now,

will you allow me for your own

satisfaction to analyze the contents?

Exactly to settle the matter once and

for all. He daren't do it. He daren't.

But of course, my dear Busky.

Oh, but wait.

It's off.
