Strangers in the Night Page #5

Well doctor, I suppose you are the lucky

girl.

- The real one.

- Yes, and we gonna be married.

Then let's celebrate.

I have some imported wine.

- Let me help you. - Oh no, thank you.

I'll do it myself.

To your happiness.

- Thank you, Mrs. Blake.

- My thanks too.

Shall we drink?

Wait a minute, where is Miss Ivy?

She is in bed. She hasn't been

feeling very well lately.

Oh, let's call her anyway. After all I'm

not getting married every day on the week?

- I'll ask her to come down.

- Oh, I wouldn't disturb her.

Very fortunate doctor, I realized now how

much Rosemary will lose.

Mrs. Blake. You must give Rosemary up.

Yes, of course. Of course...

Leslie! Leslie! Come up here.

- When did they say the ambulance will get

here? - About an hour.

Wasn't there anything

you could do for her?

No, Johnny. It was too late when I got to

her.

Doctor!

Since you diagnosed the

cause of Ivy's death,

as an overdose of Veronal,

I hold you responsible.

- Now wait a minute.

- Johnny.

You've not only come between

Rosemary and Johnny

but you've killed the one

friend I had, in the world.

Mrs. Blake,

Miss Ivy either committed suicide or...

Or what?

Or she was murdered.

I do not understand you.

It's very simple.

You see, there was no Veronal

in the mixture I prescribed for Ms. Ivy.

There was nothing stronger

than a few grains of phenobarbital.

The whole bottle

would not have killed a fly.

But the label said...

Miss Ivy needed psychiatric treatment more

than medication.

I gave the one disguised as the other.

I see.

There is nothing left for me to do but...

to tell you that Ivy killed herself.

I was trying to keep it from becoming

generally known.

How do you know?

I know... She left me a letter.

Please, wait. I'll bring it to you.

Where is the letter, Mrs. Blake?

I've decided that there's no reason

why you should see it.

And please now, will you be good enough to

leave my house.

Come on, let's go.

Good night.

Rosemary, darling.

When those wicked people

are out of the way,

no one will know.

Just wait. Wait.

- You want me to drive?

- Yes, darling

- You got the keys?

- Why no they're in the car.

- That's funny. I don't remember locking

it. - I'll get in from the other side.

Johnny!

That was a narrow escape,

I weighed 5 pounds more

I'd be crow bait by now.

A fella goes through Guadalcanal...

- Johnny, look!

- A booby trap.

She tried to kill us, Johnny.

Nothing stands in our way now.

Police department?

This is Mrs. Blake.

Mrs. Morton Blake's speaking.

33 Cliff ton Road.

There has just been an accident.

Two people have fallen off the cliff.

Dr. Ross and a friend of hers. They have

just left my house.

We'll just wait with you,

Mrs. Blake until they come.

Rosemary, darling.

Now you've got to help me.

Help me!

Help me...
