DOCTOR. Now I understand you wish to thrash out this matter of the accident.
(Taking notebook from pocket.)
JOHN (crosses to DOCTOR). Yes, we are both desirous that it should be cleared up, aren’t we?
AUNT HANNAH. Doctor, I am.
JOHN (looks over DOCTOR’S shoulder and watches him writing). Will you begin?
DOCTOR. No, I will not begin. I will hear what the lady has to say and make my report.
JOHN. Good! (Signalling to AUNT HANNAH.) Well—er—madam—the Doctor and I have been discussing the matter, and he is under the impression that you think that I am to blame for the injury you have suffered. Now I want you to prove to him that such is not the case.
AUNT HANNAH. But it is the case.
(JOHN starts.)
