part 2 : you have been eagerly awaiting this, i can tell!

ralph then tells mary, mary's mom and lysander that they must try phone horation, but under no circumstances to let mildred know that her husband was having an affair.

in due course, after knocking and knocking on doors and windows and phoning home phones and cell phones, the door eventually opens.

it turns out that horatio, who has had some brain troubles - ie medically resulting in operations and scans and such has had what i think can only be described as an aneurysm and was lying unconscious on the floor, with his little side floozy too worried about getting caught to phone an ambulance! she simply waited there and did absolutely nothing (if it was me in the situation - hah hahahahahaaa - the most REASONABLE thing to do would be to phone the frigging ambulance and then inform the gardener about the situation and then leave! i mean please!)

so they rush him to hospital and find out he lost a lot of oxygen to his brain, but was 'stable' ... mary then found out that the last time horatio had engaged in extra curricular activities with another concubine, mildred had subsequently fired all her employees who had known about it. (the fact that this company is an equal employee CCU company thingy is besides the point)

mary then went home.

the next few days mary went to work, there was no electricity.

the next few, the phones were broken.

i'll bet she played some solitaire.
