AT EASE.

PATTY, WHY IS THIS TRICK

BEING PLAYED UPON ME?

UPON YOU, TOO, SIR?

HA HA.

WELL, I NEVER.

AT EASE, SERGEANT.

EXPLAIN, PATTY.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT YOU MEAN, SIR.

PATTY, I KNOW

THERE'S NO MISS LIVVIE.

BUT MISS PHOEBE HAS BEEN

IMPERSONATING HER.

AND IF SHE HAS?

WHY HAS SHE DONE THIS?

IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT,

SIR.

MY FAULT?

IT WAS YOU:

WHO STARTED IT,

ALL BY NOT KNOWING HER

WHEN YOU FIRST RETURNED.

INDEED?

EVERYTHING'S

YOUR FAULT, SIR,

AND IT'S TIME

YOU KNEW IT.

TELL ME, WHY DON'T THEY

SAY MISS LIVVIE'S GONE HOME?

IT WOULD SAVE THEM

A WORLD OF TROUBLE.

THE WILLOUGHBYS WATCH

THE HOUSE ALL THE TIME.

THEY WOULD SAY,

"SHE CANNOT HAVE GONE,

FOR WE HAVE NO SEEN HER GO."

I SEE.

MISS LIVVIE IS:

GREATLY IMPROVED, SIR,

AND HAS CONSENTED TO COME IN TO SEE YOU.

YOUR SERVANT,

MISS LIVVIE.

HOW DO YOU DO, SIR?

AND, UH, ISN'T MISS PHOEBE

TO JOIN US?

UH, SHE-SHE...

SHE'S TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY

OF AIRING THE ROOM.

AHH!

OF COURSE.

CAPTAIN BROWN:

WILL EXCUSE YOU, PHOEBE.

CERTAINLY,

MISS SUSAN.

ALLOW ME.

SHE'LL RECOVER.

IN FACT, MA'AM, I THINK

I COULD CURE MISS LIVVIE...

IF SHE'S PUT UNRESERVEDLY IN MY HANDS.

WELL,

I'M SURE YOU COULD.

THEN YOU'RE MY PATIENT, MISS LIVVIE.

OH.

HOME'S THE PLACE

FOR YOU.

YES.

WOULD THA I COULD GO THERE.

YOU ARE GOING.

YES. SOON, SIR.

INDEED, I HAVE A DELIGHTFUL

SURPRISE FOR YOU, MISS LIVVIE.

YOU'RE GOING TODAY.

TODAY?

NOT MERELY TODAY,

BUT NOW.

COME, MISS SUSAN,

SOME WRAPS FOR HER.

OH, BUT, SIR,

I DECLINE TO GO.

NO, MISS LIVVIE.

YOU'RE IN MY HANDS.

BUT, SIR-

WE MUSTN'T HUMOR HER,

MISS SUSAN. THE WRAPS.

AUNTIE,

DON'T LEAVE ME.

WHAT A DIFFICULT PATIEN IT IS.

WILL YOU REASON WITH HER,

MISS SUSAN?

I SHALL ASK MISS PHOEBE

FOR SOME WRAPS.

WELL, HOW DO YOU DO,

MISS PHOEBE?

LIVVIE.

I THINK THESE WILL DO

ADMIRABLY, MISS SUSAN.

BUT...

PHOEBE?

SHE'S STILL BUSY

AIRING THE ROOM.

COME ALONG, SERGEANT.

PATTY, GET YOUR CLOAK

AND BONNET.

WE'RE TAKING

MISS LIVVIE HOME.

YES, SIR.

AHH, MISS LIVVIE.

ALLOW ME:

TO PUT THESE ROUND YOU.

TAKE HOLD HERE, SERGEANT,

WILL YOU?

YES, SIR.

HA HA.

MAY I, UH...

MAY I ASK, SIR,

WHERE SHE IS?

HERE.

THEN, SIR,

MIGHT I ASK:

WHO IS SHE?

MISS LIVVIE, SERGEANT.

THANK YOU.

OH. HOW DO YOU DO,

MA'AM?

NOW, SERGEANT, WILL YOU

TAKE CARE OF THAT LEFT ELBOW?

THE-OH, THE LEFT-

OH, THE LEFT ELBOW.

OH, YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

NOW COME ALONG,

MISS LIVVIE.

DON'T BE AFRAID.

OUR ARMS:

ARE AROUND YOU.

THERE. BE BRAVE.

GOOD-BYE, MISS SUSAN.

WE'LL TAKE

EVERY CARE OF HER.

GENTLY, SERGEANT,

GENTLY.

YES, SIR.

SUSAN,

HAS HE GONE?

PHOEBE, HE KNOWS ALL.

YES. YES,

I KNOW HE DOES.

BUT WHAT DID HE SAY?

IT WAS WHAT HE DID.

HE TOOK LIVVIE:

WITH HIM.

SUSAN.

SUSAN,

YOU MUSTN'T SAY THAT.

YOU'RE NOT DISTRAUGHT,

ARE YOU?

HE DID.

HE WRAPPED HER UP

IN A CLOAK.

SUSAN.

YOU'RE SUSAN THROSSEL.

YOU REMEMBER ME,

DON'T YOU?

PHOEBE?

YOUR SISTER?

I WAS LIVVIE ALSO.

HE TOOK LIVVIE WITH HIM.

OH...

HEAVENS.

NOW...

SUSAN...

SUSAN, WHO AM I?

YOU'RE PHOEBE.

AND WHO WAS LIVVIE?

YOU WERE.

OH. THANK YOU.

BUT HE TOOK LIVVIE

WITH HIM.

LOOK...

SHE'S LEAVING.

WE SHALL SEE.

DRIVE HER TO THE COUNTRY.

WHERE, SIR?

ANYWHERE.

BURY MISS LIVVIE

IN A LONELY SPO AND DON'T RETURN

BEFORE SUNDOWN.

SUNDOWN?

BUT, SIR...

SUNDOWN.

WHIP UP THE HORSES.

OFF WITH YOU.

LADIES! YOU'VE ARRIVED

JUST TOO LATE:

TO BID MISS LIVVIE FAREWELL.

MISS LIVVIE?

I'VE SENT HER HOME.

A GOOD RIDDANCE.

EDMUND BLADES, IF YOU'VE COME TO

SEE MISS LIVVIE, YOU'RE TOO LATE.

SHE'S GONE HOME.

BUT... MY FLOWERS.

I'M SURE

THESE EXCELLENT LADIES

ARE FAR MORE DESERVING

OF THEM.

MISS SUSAN...

I'VE BROUGHT YOU

SOME FIREWOOD.

THANK YOU, SIR.

MISS PHOEBE?

YES, SIR?

IT ISN'T RAINING,

BUT YOUR FACE IS WET.

I WISH ALWAYS TO KISS YOU

WHEN YOUR FACE IS WET.

SUSAN...

DEAREST PHOEBE THROSSEL...

SIR?

AND THAT I AM NO A GARDEN?

I KNOW EVERYTHING...

EXCEPT THAT.
