J: A little. AH: Okay, That's very good. I think that's enough of that for now. AH: All right. Why don't you draw me a nice big picture here in this book with this hand. [Touching right hand.] Okay?

AH: Why don't you go over and join Jessica and draw a picture, too. N: What shall I draw? AH: Why don't you surprise me. Okay? [Ann sits. Rossi sits.] MR: I like your technique. AH: Thank you, doctor. I've wanted to work with children ever since my own childhood. MR: Well, how's Nancy doing? AH: Oh, very well, I think. I went over Mr. Gehring's reports before I started. He brought her along very nicely. I think she will be out of that chair in a few weeks. MR: Good. MR: Miss Howard, I came here to see Nancy, but I am surprised and shocked to find you here. I've been wanting to talk to you since the first time I saw you. AH: Why, that's very flattering, doctor. I did see you on the square today. MR: No. I don't mean that. I mean the other night. You see, I live at the beach cottage and I saw you up on the bluff. But when I came out you hurried off. AH: Oh, I'm sorry doctor, I haven't been to the beach yet. MR: But, I . . . AH: No. MR: Sorry, I must be mistaken. [Rossi stands to leave.] MR: Hey, wait a minute. Did one of you girls leave this candy here? J: No. N: No. MR: Well. I just we'll just leave it. Maybe somebody will get it. MR: Well, goodbye, miss Howard. We'll be seeing each other. AH: Yes, doctor. I'm sure we will. Hematology-see glossary. Episode 206, scene 6 HOME
