Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Dr. Balis?
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Hi, I'm Ruby Dribner. A friend of mine sent me to deliver these
to you.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Oh?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Her name is Helen.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Helen Gregory?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Yes.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
I've been concerned about Ms. Gregory. Is she all right?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
I don't know. She's not been herself lately, that's for sure.
And to fly off like that on such short notice. It's like she used to behave
years ago. I hope she's not getting involved in anything.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
What do you mean?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Oh, you know. Hush hush stuff. I guess she used to have a rather
adventurous life.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Hmm. She asked you to deliver these drawings to me?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Yes. She insisted just as she was leaving. She said it was
important that you get them.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Do you have any idea where she may have gone?
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
Oh, no. She never tells me where she's going. Always "away
on business" and that means "don't ask any questions Ruby because
I won't be able to answer them." Sometimes I think she just wants to
be mysterious, to keep secrets from me. But sometimes... Oh, never mind
about all that. I don't want to waste any more of your valuable time. I'll
just leave you this and be on my way.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Yes, of course. Well, thank you very much for stopping by.
|
|
|
|
|
Ms. Dribner:
|
|
You're quite welcome. Good day, Doctor.
|
|
|
|
|
Dr. Balis:
|
|
Goodbye, Ms. Dribner.
