1:14:01
I'm terribly sorry, Miss Dietrichson.
1:14:06
Lou, do you mind
if I use the office alone for a few minutes?
1:14:09
It's all yours, Walter.
1:14:17
Look at me Mr. Neff, I'm not crazy,
not hysterical, not even crying
1:14:24
but I have an awful feeling
that something's wrong.
1:14:27
And I had that same feeling
once before.
1:14:30
- When my mother died.
- When your mother died?
1:14:32
We were up at Lake Arrowhead.
1:14:34
That was six years ago. We had a cabin there.
It was winter and very cold
1:14:38
and my mother was very sick
with pneumonia.
1:14:40
She had a nurse with her.
1:14:42
There were just the three of us
in the cabin.
1:14:45
One night I got up
and went into my mother's room.
1:14:48
She was delirious with fever.
1:14:50
All the bed covers were on the floor
and the windows were wide open.
1:14:54
The nurse wasn't in the room.
1:14:55
I ran and covered my mother up
as quickly as I could.
1:14:57
Just then I heard a door open
behind me.
1:15:01
The nurse stood there.
1:15:03
She didn't say a word, but there was
a look in her eyes I'll never forget.
1:15:11
Two days later my mother was dead.
1:15:17
- Do you know who that nurse was?
- No. Who?
1:15:20
Phyllis! I tried to tell my father,
but I was just a kid then
1:15:24
and he wouldn't listen to me.
1:15:26
Six months later she married him
1:15:27
and I kind of talked myself out of the idea...
1:15:29
that she could have done anything like that.
1:15:32
But now it's all back again,
1:15:33
now that something has happened
to my father, too.
1:15:37
You're not making sense,
Miss Dietrichson.
1:15:39
- Your father fell off a train.
- Yes...
1:15:41
and two days before he fell off
that train what was Phyllis doing?
1:15:44
She was in her room in front of a mirror,
with a black hat on,
1:15:46
and she was pinning a black veil to it...
1:15:47
as if she couldn't wait
to see how she would look in mourning.
1:15:51
You've had a pretty bad shock,
Miss Dietrichson.
1:15:53
Aren't you just imagining all this?
1:15:55
I caught her eyes in the mirror
and they had that look in them...
1:15:57
....they had before my mother died.
1:15:59
That same look.
