    believe he's in his office. D'you want me to call 'im?" I didn't stop to answer but ran ran down the hall to his door. Behind me I barely heard the guard shout after me. "Oi, 'old on! You can't just..." I quickly reached the third door and banged my fist against before turning the knob and running in. Doctor Harris was sitting at his desk across from Aunt Helen. Papers covered the surface. "Victoria!" my aunt exclaimed, "What on earth is going on?" "Charlie Manston!" I replied, gasping for breath, "He is in the garden." "Is he now!" Doctor Harris picked up the telephone before him. "No, wait, I don't think it was him!" I almost shouted, so desperate was I that he didn't call the guard. "Calm down, Victoria. Get your breath." Aunt Helen was standing now. "What exactly is going on?" I took a deep breath. "Charlie Manston is hiding in the garden, Aunt Helen. He thinks he is the suspect because of his hand. He doesn't seem to know exactly what happened." I turned to the Doctor. "Doctor Harris, if you could look at his hand maybe you could tell how he injured it. When I saw him hit Maggie, he slapped her with his open hand. He didn't punch her." The surgeon looked first at Aunt Helen then back at myself. "Yes, all right," he replied. "Take us to him." I led them back along the hallway and out to the entrance hall. The guard was still there. "I'm sorry , Sir," he began "I..," but my aunt waved him away and he stood transfixed as we all rushed out of the door. "Oh crikey!" I ...

"Thomas!" I cried out, as he fell to the side into the flower bed, hitting his head on the terracotta border stones as he went down. "What have you done?" I screamed as Doctor Harris grabbed Manston and wrestled him to the ground. I knelt beside the seemingly unconscious man and took his hand. His bandage had slipped from over his eyes and begun to unravel. The Doctor looked Manston directly in the eye. "Move from that spot and I will have you shot!" he said harshly, then ran over to where Thomas lay prone and unmoving. Taking his hand from me the doctor looked for a pulse and found it almost instantly. At that moment, Thomas opened his eyes. "Oh my goodness," he whispered, "You are so beautiful!" "You can see?" I asked in astonishment. As the words left my lips his eyes rolled up into his head, his face contorted and his body stiffened then convulsed violently, thrashing about. Doctor Harris dragged me to my feet and pulled me away from him. "Damn it!" he cursed. "He is having another bad fit. Quickly!" he said to me, "Run and get some orderlies and tell them to bring a stretcher. Hurry!" he urged. I did not need telling twice and turned and ran as hard as I could. I bumped into the guard who was coming to see what the fuss was. "Orderlies, stretcher..Now!", I shouted to him and he ran ...
