NURSE: There, lovey, you won't be long now.... Ever so much steadier
already.... What a bit o' luck me blowin' in to-day!... Tt! tt! Pouring
with sweat, the lad is. Whatever's he been up to?
MRS. TERENCE: When I walked in that door and saw 'im lyin' full stretch
on that floor everything went topsy-wopsy. (_Pressing the jug to_
DAN'S _lips_) It did! The room went round and round....
NURSE:(_as_ DAN _splutters_): Don't choke 'im, there's a
love....
MRS. TERENCE: D'you know what I said to meself when I saw 'im lyin'
there?
NURSE: What?
MRS. TERENCE: I said, "That murderer's been at 'im," I said, "and it's
the next victim." I did!
NURSE: So you would! Just like the pictures.... 'Old your 'ead up,
love.
MRS. TERENCE (_as_ NURSE LIBBY _supports_ DAN'S _head_):
Got a _nice_ face, 'asn't he?
NURSE: Oh, yes!... (As DAN'S eyes flicker) Shh, he's coming to.... DAN
_opens his eyes and looks at her._
Welcome back to the land of the living!
MRS. TERENCE: Thought the murderer'd got you! _A pause._ DAN
_stares, then sits up abruptly.
