The Bat1959

Cornelia van Gorder:
[on the phone] Yes will you connect me to Dr. Malcolm Wells' office please? ...No I don't know his number and I have no phone book up here but it's an emergency, will you connect me please?

Lizzie Allen:
Dear oh dear, I'm going to get the rabies!

Woman:
Hello?

Cornelia van Gorder:
Hello! Dr. Wells' Office?

Woman:
This is the call service. Dr. Wells is out at the moment but if you'll give me your name, I'll try to locate him.

Cornelia van Gorder:
Well this is Miss Van Gorder at the Oaks. My maid has just been bitten by a bat that may be rabid and she must have medical treatment as soon as possible. And I was told that Dr. Wells is the nearest physician.

Woman:
I'll try to locate him for you but if I can't, I'll send you another doctor.

Cornelia van Gorder:
Well thank you very much. [hangs up] Oh he's out on a case! I hope it's not a delivery, a baby I mean they can be terribly complicated!

Lizzie Allen:
It never bothered me none.

Cornelia van Gorder:
Oh Lizzie, you never had a baby.

Lizzie Allen:
Of course I didn't, that's why it never bothered me!
