You fainted fainted Me you mean I was unconscious. You don't have to be so proud about it. It happens in the best of families But I never fainted in my life. I'm not the kind of person that faint There are not kinds of people who faint there are two only girls in old-fashioned novels apparently new-fashioned girls can do it, too You don't seem very worried about it. I'm not that isn't true yours. Why does it go? Do you really are worried now you admit it for someone who isn't the kind of girl who faints? You're as proud as if you'd really done something. Let me see your tongue. Let me see your tongue Let me see your tongue from the time I was a baby if I had so much as a sniffle It was let me see your tongue. Won't you ever realize I've grown up as far as your tongue is concerned I haven't noticed it stick it out. How do I come? Wags quite a lot otherwise all right What did you have for breakfast? Oh just the usual except I had popovers for David Well, they've been known to be indigestible David thought they were pretty rich He liked him he said but he wouldn't eat more than one all they were and I suppose you ate up all that were left I didn't eat any I didn't know it But I guess I wasn't feeling any too well then for you not to eat as a serious symptoms What did you eat yesterday? Nothing well that is of course a gross exaggeration now think back What did you eat for lunch yesterday? I wasn't hungry all I felt like was a piece of bread and butter and a pickle oh Do you think you could have been the pickle? No, I do not think it was anything you ate Open your mouth again. Let me look at your throat make me feel like a sick horse You know I have been feeling sort of not so good for the past week Oh, why didn't you say something about it? It always passes off, but my throat feels fine hush up Let me look open. I'll say our ah That's all right Forehead's cool. No fever. Could it be a bad heart? Maybe like Aunt Louisa? It is not a bad heart like Aunt Louisa's and anyway Aunt Louisa hasn't got a bad heart. She has asthma This doesn't feel like asthma. No, that definitely is not asthma You don't seem at all worried. In fact, you look positively pleased because your daughter fainted. I am Come on now I'll help you get dressed. It's much too early to go to the auction. We are not going to the auction. Oh, yes We all know we're not we're going to the doctors Like doctor's offices. Why oh, they're so educational. I mean about all the geography I've ever learned was that the doctor's office out of the National Geographic You couldn't know less geography. You are practically illiterate Geographically speaking that's because I was always so healthy Disposed we'll have to wait long for dr. Williams. If we'd had an appointment. We wouldn't have had to wait at all. I Mean we'd have been on time. You mean we'd have done our waiting somewhere else And so nervous feel my hands are cold. Oh, there's nothing to be at all nervous about there is supposed isn't true Well, supposing I couldn't bear it. I'd be so disappointed So would David well since David doesn't know anything about it. How could he be disappointed? Calm down. Read your magazine like you I suppose I'm calm and I'm reading in upside down. I was looking at the pictures upside down Is dr. Williams To those pills every meal coming again next week to start with pick up Hello, dr. Williams Well, well, well, Mrs. Brown and you young lady. Good afternoon doctor. They come into my office Well, you're both looking very well Who's the patient? I am I'm gonna have a baby. Isn't it wonderful? Claudia? Well, that's very good news Who told you mama Claudia will you behave doctor there mightn't be any truth in this at all? Well, if there isn't I'm awfully sick because I fainted this morning. So well fainting spells can come from a number of things I I shouldn't jump conclusions too hastily and sit down here. Let me take your blood pressure all up your sleeve That far enough. Yeah, I'll just Wrap this around your arm. Oh still Uh-huh We are what was it 120 is that good? Excellent couldn't be better. Let me listen to your heart Oh, my heart's all right. My heart's fine. Claudia. Will you behave the last time I treated this child here the needles Doesn't change very much. That's a little for the worst if anything I Don't see how her husband puts up with her. I'd like to meet that young man. You're some day Is he happy about the baby? He doesn't know about it yet. It just happened He thinks mama and I are at an auction sale, but he's wonderful and he'll love it. Claudia. Please talk sense I can't I'm too excited David really is wonderful. Dr. Williams. Yes, he's pretty nice doctor Well, you three seem to be mighty good friends. It'll be even nicer when they're five of us five of us Yes, after the twins come after the trip You'd better begin with one at a time young lady twins run in families if anyone should happen to ask you nonsense with my dual Personality and David's charm. How can we miss you'd be surprised? Now then let me write down a few facts Your uh, how old 19 18 mama must we go into that again my birthday is December 29 All right 19 and doctor if you don't think it's confusing to be born so close to January 1st Oh, it must be it's a jib to get all mixed up with Christmas and raises hub with presents and parties I think the doctor is interested in other details. There's something. I won't be as thoughtless about as you I'll never do anything like that to a child of mine. Well, apparently not to this child. Let's call you 19 Practically 19, you know mama with a little cheating at both ends. I can be a grandmother at 40 I see I have my life's work cut out for me And so apparently has David earning enough money to support them and you've been married how long just three months That's pretty good, isn't it? I don't know just what you mean by pretty good, but pretty good Can you tell if it'll be twins? Yes When after the first one is born. Oh, I can't stand the suspense But if it is true, you ought to expect this baby around. Oh Middle of June. Do you mean to say I have to wait that long? I certainly hope that you see your way clear to do so There's something wrong with the system. It's been tested out for a number of years now and personally I found it very satisfactory. I'll step into my other office come with us. Mama Mrs. Brown your hands are freezing. But what do you expect?
