EILEEN (sadly). Yes. I understand everything now.
MURRAY (offended). What do you mean by everything? You said that so strangely. You mean you don't believe—— (But she remains silent with her eyes shut. He frowns and takes to pacing up and down beside the bed.) Why have they got you stuck out here on this isolation porch, Eileen?

EILEEN. About a month.
MURRAY (shocked). A month! But you were up and about—on exercise, weren't you—before that?
EILEEN. No. I had to stay in bed while I was at the cottage.
MURRAY. You mean—ever since that time they sent you back—the day before I left?
