The Nanny1965
The nanny:
Did you know her?
Dr. Wills:
I've been with her for the past 14 hours, watching her die.
The nanny:
Why didn't you phone me sooner?
Dr. Wills:
She didn't tell me until she knew she was dying. Told me she thought she had a chance of pulling through, she just didn't want to see you. Want me to make the arrangements?
The nanny:
What?
Dr. Wills:
I'm asking if you want her properly taken care of.
The nanny:
Of course!
Dr. Wills:
Yes, well it's about 25 years too late, isn't it? You were too busy looking after other people's children, not enough time to spare for your own. [Nanny looks at Janet] No she can't help you, she's dead. She was pregnant you know. [Nanny turns around] Yeah, and not much chance of looking after the child, she couldn't bear the thought of bringing up an illegitimate baby the way she was brought up. Better get rid of it. This isn't a very *choice* neighborhood but they do know how to look after themselves in a pinch. And for what? Oh 5 or 10 pounds you can buy yourself an abortion. He left her on the doorstep to bleed to death. I take it you know something about medicine, would you like to hear the details?
The nanny:
No.
Dr. Wills:
Why not? She's your flesh and blood, don't you want to hear how she died? Not exactly in the high street class these backstreet abortionists, they want their money first before they get to work and they're not very fussy about sterilization, some of them don't even bother to wash their hands first! And they don't care where they do it either.
