JOHN. Oh no he won’t!
DOCTOR. Oh yes he will!
JOHN. Oh no he won’t! I can promise you that. Can’t you see the man has been terribly knocked about? (Aside to TULLY.) Groan!
(TULLY groans long and loudly.)
DOCTOR. Now, tell me, Mrs. Ayers, is he thirsty at all?
PAMELA. No, doctor.
DOCTOR. No, no, he wouldn’t be.
JOHN. But the pain in his back is simply terrible. He raves! (Aside to TULLY.) Rave!
(TULLY raves, pulls hair up on end, imagines he sees something, tries to catch it, and continues any mad business. DOCTOR follows his movements closely and seriously.)
DOCTOR (to PAMELA). Does he have any pains in the head?
