on the phone] Yes will you connect me to Dr. Malcolm Wells' office please? ...No I don't know his number and I have no phone book up here but it's an emergency, will you connect me please?
Lizzie Allen:

Woman:
Hello?
Cornelia van Gorder:
Hello! Dr. Wells' Office?
Woman:
This is the call service. Dr. Wells is out at the moment but if you'll give me your name, I'll try to locate him.
Cornelia van Gorder:
Well this is Miss Van Gorder at the Oaks. My maid has just been bitten by a bat that may be rabid and she must have medical treatment as soon as possible. And I was told that Dr. Wells is the nearest physician.
Woman:
I'll try to locate him for you but if I can't, I'll send you another doctor.
Cornelia van Gorder:
Well thank you very much.
