the insurance good for him I hope it

will give him some kind of security well

you won't have to worry for quite some

time at least I don't worry about myself

as a matter of fact yes nothing may I

guess it's such a delicate matter I'm

rather afraid of using the wrong words

I'll try to take their words with what

they mean and not how they sound well

mrs. Marvin I believe it was ambition

rather than love that attracted you to

Paul it meant a great deal to you to be

the wife of a man of his genius his

social standing you tried very hard to

climb up to him but only succeeded in

dragging him down forgive me for saying

it alright I made a mistake that I

didn't mean anything bad I didn't want

to hurt him it just happened so but Paul

is madly in love with you he's quite

convinced he can't live without you

that's just the trouble any sacrifice I

make anything I do will lead to nothing

I feel trapped I want to get out what

shall I do and without his music he'll

suffer even more in the peace rest and

lots of patience mrs. Fowler may I ask

you a question please do are you in love

with him

no we're good actress it falls was a

little too long Jenkins for the media

bad egg why do you ask I need your help

well how can I help you can't expect me

to talk you into leaving Paul just to

ease your conscience but if I do leaving

not just my sake for the sake of both

ends would you take care of me do you

think I'd make a good nurse I'm sure you

can give him all those things you talked

about rest peace of mind and patience

what do you say it's open excuse me I

didn't know you had company that's all

right I'm leaving right away if there's

anything I can do for you mrs. Northern

anything at all please let me know

goodbye.

[Music]

I wouldn't let you go home today but I

want to see your friday and then every

third day come shape next time mmm tell

me doctor what's the final verdict give

a time and let's hope that's all I can

say for the present thank you oh are you

still here the insurance company called

I told him you had gone home miss

Peterson thank you for everything good

luck sir Thank You Margo

Fargo.

[Music]

[Music]

Oh mr. Marvin international insurance

company of Geneva Jack low speaking safe

could you come over a very important

matter came up I'm sorry I can't I'm

what is it we have a man here an

employee of the publishing company who

claims that he saw you just a few

seconds before your accident we have his

statement here and we'd like and front

you with him before we proceed father

but don't you think mr. Marvin that all

this business about you're staring at

your hand before the accident could

involve you in a very well I mean if you

insist on going ahead with your
