their heads too big and their legs the

right right way around couldn't I have

doll oh my father sent it to me from

Tunisia you're a lucky girl quite

spoiled Miss Chesterfield yes Marian I'm

I'm sorry about yesterday sorry about

spoiling your flowers it's all right

we'll forget about it I shouldn't have

told you about my other pupils it's easy

to get jealous of other people when

you're stuck in bed it's not that I'm

jealous it was something else you better

tell me about it

then well I wanted to give you something

really nice for your birthday something

special so I thought about

it well I suppose Mark and I must be

alike because I bought you roses too

only the weren't nearly as many and when

you came in with that enormous sponge I

you naturally got very

upset well couldn't I have them now

they're not as fresh as they were bit

troop in fact

happy birthday for

yesterday they're lovely roses thank you

very much

maranne you know it doesn't matter that

Mark gave me some as well just shows it

was the best present because you both

thought of it how is he I'll know this

afternoon I'm going there after lunch I

thought you didn't go on a Thursday I

always go on Thursday afternoons you

know that quite well what homework did

you set him something doesn't like

learning poetry for a change change from

what oh maths and Latin that kind of

thing he's a clever boy manages those

subjects easily things like uh poetry

tend to get left aside doesn't like

having to stop being clever and just

listen he doesn't does he now how do you

know what Mark does or doesn't do you've

never met

him so the clock's still here

I wonder if fun will be upstairs or

downstairs

hia perhaps she's in Mark's room now

that Mark's not there

y you know are you

there oh Fiona why don't you answer

me Fiona please say

something why' you call me Fiona no

Jolly we not a girl no it's you

but of course it's me are you expecting

somebody else yes who a friend of mine

why I thought it would be different this

time and I thought you would never come

back again well I didn't think I'd want

to oh well come if be going to shut door

cold it's quite warm outside well I can

be called if I want to and anyway you

famous B keep out the sun they not my

bars that's not what you said last time

you were here it's different now trust

you first you say one thing and when I

begin to believe it you say another

first you say you drew the bars and

that's why they're here then you say you

didn't I did draw the bars well if

you're incredibly stupid or you're a

liar I'm not a liar you don't understand

I did draw the bars and they were here

later but since then I I've drawn other

things and they're not not what here

what else have you

drawn I drew two ponies in the garden

are they here I don't know I came

straight into this house this time so I

haven't seen the garden do you mind if I

had to

look

so Mark have you had a look at those

Boulders the ones outside the fence yes

well what about them you'll think I'm

being silly again

again but I think they've got eyes I

know what do you mean you know how can

stones have eyes what did you said they

did I said I thought they did it's the

same thing wish you were always so

Superior wish Fiona was here who's Fiona

oh one of my friends from school well

why should she be here cuz I drew her

into my drawing her and the two ponies

would you expect everything you draw to

be

here well like say you're very good at

drawing nothing don't look very well I

feel awful more awful than you did

before yes I do hope it isn't my fault I

got furious with you I didn't really

mean to hurt you it's just that I'm

stuck in bed you

are I wish you'd explain it to me Mark I

know you think I'm conceited about what

I do with my drawings but I'm not

honestly I'm not you keep telling me how

you drew this and then you drew that and

then they then they didn't I don't know

what it's all

about when did you start drawing anyway

oh when I had to stay in bed when I'm

not here we're not always here are we I

don't know I can't remember they always

been here or when I'm someone else when

I'm

not can you remember anything you did

before did I I know you've been here

before and last time you were here you

were very angry and you said you wished

I was dead dead you said if you didn't

dream about me I would be

dead I think you're woring too much Mrs

Austin she's not quite herself today

that's all oh she's that Dr bton cooped

up in bedes since getting some very

strange ideas they worry me they really

do what kind of strange ideas well she

has this drawing book you see and she's

drawn a house in it well that's normal

enough yes I know it is but she's got

some very peculiar ideas about it Mrs a

there's nothing peculiar about a girl

drawing a house she talks as though she

lives in

it it isn't easier for a child like

Maran to stay in bed all this time

especially when she's not really feeling

ill she's got a lot of energy which she

isn't using and a lot of imagination

it's natural she gets fed up sometimes

and it's absolutely natural that she

goes off into

Daydreams then there's this business

with Miss

Chesterfield what biziness with Miss

Chesterfield well yesterday on her

birthday I mean Miss Chester F's

birthday maranne B her some roses but

when Miss Chesterfield came she'd

already been given some so well this

upset maranne and she wouldn't give hers

well that's what all the fuss was about

and I didn't like to

explain you see maranne is jealous

because Miss Chesterfield has other

pupils but when I asked Miss

Chesterfield what had happened when I

was out she didn't say anything but I

knew I knew Mrs Austin you must remember

that when you're in bed it's difficult

to keep things in proportion it's

nothing to worry about but miss chille

is a sensible girl and I'm sure she'll

handle it all right look let Marian's

friends come in after school as often as

possible give her plenty to do and don't

stop her drawing it won't hurt her to

use her imagination

won't rub

out won

m

mom what I

done what I'm done

I'll try and make him comfortable I'll

give him lots of nice things I'll make

do hope he's there

[Music]

there I'm sorry I'm late

Mariam on my way here I had to call in

at I would see Mark yes well at least no

not Mark himself I went to the house hi

how do you mean not Mark himself he's

away

where Miss Chesterfield where is

he he's in

hospital he's got an infection and he

had to go in for special treatment is he

dangerous Leo yes I'm afraid he is

that's why I went around there this

morning I wanted to know what the news

was he isn't going to die is he miss

Chesterfield you see there wasn't anyone

there and he's usually

waiting wasn't anyone where in the house

it's it's difficult to

explain do you think a lot about

Mark yes I do I don't always mean to but

I do suppose I imagined things about him

but I knew there must be something wrong

so that's why I drew what doesn't matter

the thing is is he going to be all right

I'm sure he is there's lots they can do

isn't there penicillin and that sort of

thing cures everything doesn't it of

course ites

us come on we must do some

work how did you find it this morning oh

a bit in attentive I think it might have

been my fault I'm not ready myself today

a sorry about that anything I can do

it's very kind of you but it's nothing

to do with me really it's just that one

can't help

minding Mark is very ill he was taken to

hospital last night did you tell Marian

I couldn't avoid it she asked me how he

was she thinks a lot about Mark Mark and

her

[Music]

drawing Mark are you there

Mark please

answer Mark Mark wake up please wake up

oh

hello I thought you wenter over coming

back I couldn't get in last time the

door was locked I know I had to lock it

there voices outside

Whispering I've heard them too they near

the clock

they were loud this time just go another

thing oh never mind about the voices you

all right I'm kind of I don't feel

marvelous where's the bed and the

blankets and the food and the radio I

drew them for you they're not here I

told you this would got nothing to do

with your

drawings Mark don't get crossed and

please try and understand you see even

if you're always here I'm not so I've

noticed but I'm not anywhere else in the

house when I'm not here I'm not in

another room or anything somewhere quite

different more ordinary but what's that

got to do with me well it's in the other

more ordinary life that I do the

drawings I first did a drawing of a

house with no one in it I thought I had

to get in but I couldn't unless there

was someone there so when I got home I

drew you don't you remember and then the

stairs don't start about the stairs

again and don't tell me you invented me

I don't have to invent you great you're

already there in the ordinary life

you're there you're inventing again and

if you know me in your ordinary sort of

life I'd know you and I don't at least

not anywhere else but here we haven't

met then why say you know me I've heard

about you so I know you're there I hear

about you all the time how from Miss

Chesterfield oh my do think hard do try

to remember Miss Chesterfield teaches

you and me separately she goes to your

home to teach you does

she but once when you came you screamed

at me it wasn't the same as Chesterfield

but that was only because I was

cross I don't remember Miss Chesterfield

I know the name that's all you do

remember Miss Chesterfield you told me

she was engaged to Peter and when I went

back to my ordinary life I asked her if

it was true and it was and she didn't

know how I knew who are you talking

about and who's Peter anyway Miss

Chesterfield's fianceé

you told

me didn't

I I don't remember that but I don't

exactly not believe you but it seems so

unlikely but why should Miss ji come to

my home to teach me better to go to

school she goes around teaching children

who are ill are you ill then yes but at

least I'm in the ordinary life but not

exactly ill you see I broken her burn

and I have to stay in bed and what about

me then you've been ill too but now I'm

better yes

at least you were and just at this

moment you're a bit bad again how bad am

I in bed of course all this is your

imagination you know you are in

hospital I think that's why you can't

remember about ordinary life because

you're ill there when you were well you

remembered about Miss

Chesterfield am I very ill you might as

well tell me am I in hospital because

I'm going to die tell me am I going to

die no no you're not I know you're not

is that another of these things you know

or are you going to draw me well to make

certain it doesn't always work sometimes

I draw things and then they aren't there

it's funny really some things rub out

and some of the drawings don't well

perhaps use different

pencils oh you are

clever of course that's it the things I

draw with a pencil I found in Gran's

workbox I can't R out but they are here

and the things I draw with orary pencils

I can R out and they aren't oh Mark I

know you're going to get well I don't

have to draw it please believe me please

you're M getting so Hur of about nothing

of course I'm going to get well it's

just that I feel tired not ill just

tired so I done too much but it's nice

of you to mind why don't you go to sleep

I'm so uncomfortable in this room I

don't know how I ever managed to sleep

at

all but if your special pencil does work

can't you draw me a bed and a blanket or

two I'll

try and I could do with some books and

some

games and like my bite just to look at

and some

food Maran yes Mark
