the injection will ease the pain and swelling, mr. gardiner.
now, you'll barely feel this. it won't hurt at all.
but not for long.
it's good that there was no apparent damage to the bone.
however, with injuries such as this, i have run into minor hemorrhaging, which really isn't too serious at the time, but can cause secondary problems if not looked after.
you can pull your trousers up, now.
just to take the proper precautions, mr. gardiner, i'd recommend we take you downstairs and x-ray your leg. .  by the way, mr. gardiner, i would like to ask you something straight out.
yes. are you planning on making any sort of claim against the rand's?
thomas? who's thomas?
an attorney?
then you wish to handle this matter through your attorneys?
oh, i see.  .  well, then.  you're a very funny man, mr. gardiner. you caught me off guard, i must admit.
good, keep your weight off that leg, mr. gardiner. in fact, it would be best if you could stay here for a day or two, if that would be would be possible. since benjamin became ill we have our own hospital downstairs. i can promise you the finest in care, unless, of course, you would prefer to go elsewhere.
fine. would you like me to speak to your personal physician?
i'll send wilson up to take you for x-rays, mr. gardiner. feel free to use the telephone, and please let me know if you have any discomfort.
good god, eve - you'll freeze out here.
a rather large contusion, but i don't feel there is any serious damage. i'd like to keep an eye on him, though - i suggested that he stay here for a couple of days.
not necessary, but preferable. i don't think he'll be a bother, he seems like a most refreshing sort of man.
how true. mr. gardiner may be a welcome change of pace.
at times, yes. but that's not an uncommon reaction to such an accident. actually, i found him to have quite a sense of humor.
no, eve.  i'm sorry.
to everyone, i'm afraid. the government controls are so restricting that the medical profession, as we know it, is being legislated out of existence.
 and please call me robert.
that is so true. you're different, chauncey.  quite different than most men.
some pain is to be expected.  .  and i think what would be best for the two of you is a good night's rest. .  it's late, i'm afraid it's time for my patients to prepare for bed.
chauncey, there you are. what are you doing on that leg?
shame on you, chauncey - you should let me be the judge of that. please, sit in the chair.
i swear, chauncey, between you and benjamin, i've got my hands full.  .  say, that is coming along, the swelling has gone down considerably.  .  any pain here?
 benjamin has been hounding me to allow him to address the annual meeting of his financial institute today, but obviously, the strain would be impossible.  how about here, chauncey, any soreness?
 were you going somewhere?
 oh. .  my god, i only wish that benjamin had your recuperative powers.  anyway, the president offered to sit in for ben at the meeting, quite a nice gesture, i felt. he's due here soon, i believe.
 oh? you've heard?
he does, does he?
why, that's terrific, chauncey.
 it's five of, you'd best get on in there.
hell yes - walk. you're meeting the president, aren't you?
oh.  hello.
 yes. of course.
excuse us, please.
 eve - this has been an exhausting day for ben.
he's resting comfortably now. there's no cause for alarm, yet.
and you, benjamin, must be strong and brave for me. turn over, please.
mr. thomas franklin, please. is thomas franklin in? yes, this is dr. robert allenby, would you please tell mr. franklin that i would like to talk to him? it concerns chauncey gardiner.
i have no idea.
hmmm. you say he showed you his garden?
i see. mr. franklin, i must ask you and miss hayes to keep this incident with mr. gardiner to yourselves. there's no telling what he was involved in, and the matter may be extremely confidential. so please, not a word.
fine. thank you, mr. franklin.
it's not good, ben - i'm sure you can feel it.
 he's gone, chauncey.
yes, i suppose that's true.
in a day or two, yes.
 you've become quite a close friend of eve's - haven't you mr.  .  chance?
i see.  .  and you are really a gardener, aren't you?
 he walked off.
i don't think so, he should be along soon.
you really care for him, don't you, eve?
i think we'd better go look for him. david!
