Lillian. Her father is the undertaker’s partner, girls.
Dorothy (indignantly). No such thing!
Lillian. Don’t the undertaker bury the ones he kills for him?
Dorothy. The idea, Lil Norton! He doesn’t kill people.
Lillian. Then all his patients recover?
Dorothy. Well, no, of course, not all.
Lillian. Then they die?
Dorothy. Sometimes, of course.
Lillian. Then don’t try to hide from us who his partner is. Perhaps in your town they don’t bury the doctor’s victims. Do they cremate them, or mummify them, or simply pickle them?
Dorothy. Don’t, Lil. That’s horrid! They bury them, of course.
