Tabitha in Moonlight (1976)
“‘Oh,’ said Tabitha, ‘he’s not coming back! Will you be able to manage on your own, George?’ She didn’t really care in the least if George could manage or not, but she had to say something—anything, to take her mind off the fact that Marius was going away and she wouldn’t see him.
‘Of course he’s not going,’ said George patiently. ‘Only for a week—Sweden, I believe—it was arranged long before he heard from Mr Raynard. He’ll come back and take over again until the Old Man’s on his feet.’ The Old ...Man himself substantiated George’s statement himself when Tabitha paid him her morning visit. He was sitting up in bed, surrounded by an untidy welter of case notes, screwed-up pieces of paper, several lists and a calendar. He thrust an impatient arm out as she approached the bed and shot most of the clutter on to the floor.
‘Tut-tut,’ said Tabitha severely, ‘you’re by far the untidiest patient we’ve ever had.’ She picked everything up, sorted it neatly and laid the little pile back on the bed.MoreLess
