The Two Mrs. Carrolls Page #3

Who was

the model?

Oh, my first wife,

shortly before she died.

Strange it should be

displayed so prominently here.

Doesn't your present

wife ever object...

She does not.

To Sally, my work

is just my work.

She's not silly.

I would be.

I don't doubt that.

Here's another one

you may like.

A little

more cheerful.

Ah, the second

Mrs. Carroll.

Very nice.

Very nice,

indeed.

Tell me,

Geoffrey.

Do you always marry the women you paint?

Excuse me. Your mother

is waiting in the car.

Whenever

you're ready.

I was

just leaving.

Thank you,

Mr. Carroll.

It's been most

intriguing.

Good afternoon.

I still want him to paint my portrait.

Be my ally,

Mrs. Carroll.

Try to

persuade him.

I will.

Au revoir.

Delightful having you for

tea. Please come again.

Thank you so much.

Good-bye.

Why were you

so rude, Geoffrey?

It was the way

I felt.

I can't blame you

too much.

That girl

annoyed me.

There was

something about her

That got

on my nerves.

Obviously.

You disliked her

so swiftly.

Had you seen her

before?

No, but that

wouldn't...

What's wrong,

Geoffrey?

Oh, nothing.

My nerves are just

a little jumpy.

I'll take a walk.

I'll get your hat.

Want me along?

No.

That's

a promise.

Oh, Sally.

The Latham's, I take

it they're pretty rich.

They sound that way,

don't they?

I wonder

if I'm foolish,

Turning down

that job.

I don't like it, but what do you think?

Oh, I suppose

we could use the money,

Although we won't

starve without it.

It's entirely up to you,

darling, as always.

Gather around! Gather around!

Gather around!

I have an 'orse!

I have an 'orse!

I have an 'orse!

I ain't saying

it might win.

I ain't saying

it could win.

I ain't saying

it should win.

What I'm saying

is it must win,

And I'm staking

my reputation on same.

I know me horses.

10 years in the stables

of lord derby.

Eight years in the stables

of blubber shore.

I know what

I'm talking about.

So what about it?

Excuse me, old boy.

Here's a gentleman

who knows

What he's

talking about.

How much?

To you, a quid.

I'm sorry.

But today, 10 Bob.

I'll have a look.

I know

my gentlemen.

Thank you very much.

I have an 'orse!

I have an 'orse!

I ain't saying

it might win.

I ain't saying

it could win.

I beg

your pardon.

You've overlooked my

change. I gave you a pound.

Of course I did.

Fancy me.

I'll tell you

what I'll do.

Look out!

The cops!

I'm afraid

that's the last

You'll see

of your change.

What's

the horse's name?

He's probably

written it

In vanishing ink.

Such

queer people.

When I visit

a racecourse,

I promise never

to go again.

It's a three-day

meeting...

Hardly

a racecourse.

It's a waste of time.

I'm having

a lot of fun.

Besides, you suggested this outing.

That was yesterday.

I should have kept working this morning.

Painting

Cecily's portrait

Isn't the easiest

job in the world.

From you, that's

practically a compliment.

Father! Sally!

We just had the most

interesting experience.

Now, bee...

Mr. Pennington

was just

Done in the eye.

I bought a tip.

The tout welshed

with the change.

What was the tip?

Dancing

boy.

We're all

betting on him.

All but me. My ticket's on blue Monday.

Come on!

You can do it!

Come on,

blue Monday!

Come on!

Come on,

blue Monday!

Darling,

he's winning!

Come on, blue Monday!

Drive him, jockey!

Blue Monday did it!

I told you he'd win.

You did. You're

the only winner

In the party, too.

I'll cash

your ticket.

We'll stay

for one more race.

This time

I'll pick a winner.

I'll be right back.

Sally.

Yes?

Do me a favor. Pick a horse for me.

Look out,

Mr. Pennington.

Father's

very jealous.

He doesn't like

Sally

To do favors for anyone but him.

How lovely

for you.

Like living

in a harem?

I don't mind a bit,

As long as there

are no other wives.

Fancy anything

in the next race?

Ethel k.

Looks good.

A nice price, too.

You know me. If the price is right...

Yes,

I know you.

It's a nice idea,

us meeting like this.

Gives me

a chance to combine

Business

with pleasure.

I don't want you around my house again.

I'll watch it

in the future.

This is the best I can do right now.

Oh. How much?

400.

And the balance?

I'm finishing

a portrait

In about two months, maybe less.

I'm a patient man.

Comes of waiting for

the winners at the races.

Well, good afternoon,

Mr. Carroll.

Good day, sir.

What's the verdict,

Dr. Tuttle?

Can I get up?

Well, yes and no.

What does that mean... yes and no?

As you insist on having

your dinner party,

You should

move about a bit.

I'll get up

at once.

It would be better

for you to be quiet.

Now I don't know

where I am.

Excitement is

bad for you.

If I can get up,

I promise to remain

cool, calm,

Soothing,

and charming.

In that case,

Mrs. Carroll,

No, I wouldn't

advise it.

I don't want

to seem harsh.

We just want you

to get well quickly.

You've been telling me

that for three weeks.

What's

the matter?

What's wrong

with me?

Actually, nothing

very serious.

Then why do I sometimes feel so weak?

Why do I have these splitting headaches?

Just a case

of nerves...

Nerves,

pure and simple.

I'll see you

at dinner tonight.

You're not to worry

your little head.

We'll have you right as rain in no time.

Right as rain.

Ah, Christine.

Been cleaning

the silver?

That's right, doctor.

You've got a great

sense of perception.

How's Mrs. Carroll?

Improved, I'm glad

to say. Much improved.

By the way, have you heard the latest

About

the burglar?

Last night he...

I know...

Heard all about it.

Oh. Where's

your master?

Up in heaven.

I beg

your pardon?

If you're talking

about my master,

He's up in heaven.

If you're talking about

my employer,

He's in the garden.

What's

he doing there

On a day

like this?

Minding

his own business.

Minding his own...

Hmph.

Nosy old fossil.

Drink hearty,

doc.

Oh, good morning,

Carroll.

Good morning.

Purely

medicinal purposes.

I thought I'd

stave off a cold.

There's quite a chill.

Sure, I know.

Have another.

It might

get chillier.

No,

thanks very much.

Moderation

in all things...

That's my motto.

Have you heard that the

burglar's on the prowl again?

Yes, I heard.

Oh. Who told you?

Christine.

Probably

told you wrong.

Women never get

their facts straight.

Now, as

I understand it...

If you don't

mind, doc,

There's something more

important I'd like to discuss.

How did

you find Sally?

Better than she's

been for weeks.

I'm glad to hear that.

I've been worried.

I was over

at miss Latham's

Finishing a portrait,

And some people there

mentioned a nerve specialist...

A Dr. Franklin,

I believe.

You mean you'd like

a second opinion?

Would you have

any objections?

None whatsoever.

If it would put

your mind at ease,

I'd welcome another

doctor's opinion.

In that case, we won't have anyone else.

Huh?

I was testing you.

If you weren't sure,

You'd complain
