Well. . . . [He shrugs his shoulders.] If he wakes up to-night, give him another one of those powders in a little wine. Wine won’t harm the drug and water might kill the patient. Eh, Padre?

Amy

Is that all, Doctor?

The Doctor

That’s all. I’ll come up early in the morning.

Amy

Thanks.

The Doctor

Sure about the nurse? [She nods.] You take it pretty calmly.

Amy

Ain’t much else I can do, is there?

The Doctor

Good-night. Joe’s fixing you up a bed. He’ll be here if you want him.

Father McKee

[Going with the Doctor]: I ain’t kissed the bride.
