Chapter 58 Section 7

Alexander got up at 10:30 the next day and went to the indoor tennis court first. He was as passionate about sports as his father, Prince Alpheus.When Alexander left, he heard that Sunny hadn't gotten up yet, and the young man didn't think about anything else. He knew that these days his mother sometimes lay on the bed or sofa all day long, sick.It was two o'clock in the afternoon when Alexander came back from playing, and Maria Singlaham, the German maid who saw his mother, was wiping tears alone. "Madam is ill," Maria told the prince, "but the master refused to call for a doctor, saying that Madam just didn't rest well the night before, and now she finally fell asleep, and told me not to disturb her."

"Then don't disturb her," said the prince. "No, you don't understand. Madam is not asleep. She seems to be completely unconscious. I don't wake her up for a long time. Madam's arm is hanging on the edge of the bed. I went to tuck her into the bed for her. When I touched it, that arm It was icy cold, as heavy as a piece of wood. Madam usually sleeps very lightly, you know, if there is any noise, she will wake up immediately..." Later in the court, Maria said: "That morning, I passed by the lady's door and heard her moaning..." Closs von Prow said it was wrong, not moaning, Sunny was just snoring, "she really didn't sleep well the night before. First she was angry at herself, about Anne Loring going to Austria for the holidays, saying she didn't want Anne to marry Europe, it is said that the child that was obtained through untold hardships during the divorce, now seems to have returned the daughter to the ex-husband... As I was talking, I was involved, saying that the children will leave one by one when they grow up , I can’t stay at home, saying that I don’t care about everything at home as soon as I start working, and I’m always looking for opportunities to travel.” Cross was the vice president of an international art company at the time. "I started arguing as soon as I argued... Every time we quarreled, we always yelled at each other for divorce... When the two finally calmed down, Sunny said that her throat and eyes hurt, and she went in and out looking for medicine. The water tormented me for half the night, and I didn't fall asleep until dawn."

Maria said: "I went upstairs to iron the clothes, but I couldn't put it down. After about 30 minutes, I went downstairs again. I saw the lady was still in the same pose as before, and the husband was still dressed and leaning against her with a book... ...I said, sir, that's not going to work, I'd better ask a doctor to see it...Sir, we've never had a doctor in Newport, and we don't know any doctors...I said there wasn't a Galidy from Newport Hospital Doctor? He was the one who invited Mrs. Madam to have a stomachache last summer, and he prescribed the medicine when Madam caught a cold... Sir, Maria, don’t argue with me. She drank too much at night, and when she sobered up, she would wake up naturally. When I heard it, it was strange. Didn’t she just say that the lady had a sore throat because of the quarrel and didn’t sleep well? Why is she drinking again now? Besides, People fall asleep after drinking, so why not fall asleep after drinking too much?"

Maria visited the master bedroom a few times later, and once said to Cross, "If you don't call the doctor, I will." Cross's answer was strange: "You know, Maria, it is not an easy task to marry and live with a woman like Mrs. von Prow." Anyway, Mariah meant, Sunny was unconscious.Cross meant that Sunny was asleep. ………… Alexander didn't wait for Maria to finish, turned around and rushed into the master bedroom: "I saw my mother lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and her stepfather standing beside the bed...I shook her, pushed her, called her, but she just wouldn't wake up...I I looked back at my stepfather, who was also looking at me. 'What should we do?' he asked. 'What should we do?' I was a little anxious, 'Call the doctor!'”

Dr. Gennis Galidy was away, and Klose von Prowe left a message. At three o'clock Dr. Galidy called Clarendon back.Maria Singlaham later told the court: "Sir told me not to go, told me to stay and listen to him on the phone. I heard him tell the doctor that the lady got up once or twice to go to the toilet by herself, and he called the doctor for the lady. I had a glass of gin aio, and said that my wife never drank in moderation, and she was drunk again last night...I left the room before he finished talking on the phone...I really don't want to hear his nonsense." txtnovel upload share
