Dr. Jean Markham
- Lydia Weekes: [Holding Jean's hand] I want this
- Dr. Jean Markham: Remember that... in the next few days and weeks. Try hard to remember that.
- Dr. Jean Markham: [Dr. Markham opens the door] Can I help you?
- Lydia Weekes: I'd like to speak to the doctor please. And I'd like to ask him why he's inviting a ten-year-old to his house, and bribing him to come back with this.
- [Lydia holds up a book]
- Dr. Jean Markham: Heidi?
- Lydia Weekes: Yes, with Heidi.
- Charlie Weekes: Mum!
- [Charlie comes running up to the door]
- Lydia Weekes: Are you expecting the doctor home?
- Charlie Weekes: Hello, Doctor Markham.
- Dr. Jean Markham: Hello Charlie.
- Lydia Weekes: Oh
- [Lydia looks away in embarrassment]
- Dr. Jean Markham: Charlie wanted to see the bees. Bribes were not discussed.
- Lydia Weekes: Hide from your neighbours as much as you please, but everything that happens you must tell the bees. Something like that. Thats Kipling, isn't it?
- Dr. Jean Markham: I thought it was a local superstition.
- Lydia Weekes: Oh, there's plenty of those.
- Dr. Jean Markham: You know my father used to say you should tell the bees your secrets, then they don't fly away.
- Charlie Weekes: Do you tell the bees your secrets?
- Dr. Jean Markham: I used to.
- Charlie Weekes: Did it work?
- Dr. Jean Markham: Well, they're still here.
- Charlie Weekes: Well maybe they remember.
- Dr. Jean Markham: How do you manage to be so... yourself?
- Lydia Weekes: Do I?
- Dr. Jean Markham: You can't help it.
