〃Wont　there　be　more？〃

〃Some　more　are　ing。〃

〃When　will　they　get　here？〃

〃I　dont　know。　You　ask　a　great　many　questions　for　a　sick　boy。〃

〃Im　not　sick；〃　I　said。　〃Im　wounded。〃

They　had　finished　making　the　bed　and　I　lay　with　a　clean　smooth　sheet　under　me　and　another　sheet　over　me。　Mrs。　Walker　went　out　and　came　back　with　a　pajama　jacket。　They　put　that　on　me　and　I　felt　very　clean　and　dressed。

〃Youre　awfully　nice　to　me；〃　I　said。　The　nurse　called　Miss　Gage　giggled。　〃Could　I　have　a　drink　of　water？〃　I　asked。

〃Certainly。　Then　you　can　have　breakfast。〃

〃I　dont　want　breakfast。　Can　I　have　the　shutters　opened　please？〃

The　light　had　been　dim　in　the　room　and　when　the　shutters　were　opened　it　was　bright　sunlight　and　I　looked　out　on　a　balcony　and　beyond　were　the　tile　roofs　of　houses　and　chimneys。　I　looked　out　over　the　tiled　roofs　and　saw　white　clouds　and　the　sky　very　blue。

〃Dont　you　know　when　the　other　nurses　are　ing？〃

〃Why？　Dont　we　take　good　care　of　you？〃

〃Youre　very　nice。〃

〃Would　you　like　to　use　the　bedpan？〃

〃I　might　try。〃

They　helped　me　and　held　me　up　but　it　was　not　any　use。　Afterward　I　lay　and　looked　out　the　open　doors　onto　the　balcony。

〃When　does　the　doctor　e？〃

〃When　he　gets　back。　Weve　tried　to　telephone　to　Lake　o　for　him。〃

〃Arent　there　any　other　doctors？〃

〃Hes　the　doctor　for　the　hospital。〃

Miss　Gage　brought　a　pitcher　of　water　and　a　glass。　I　drank　three　glasses　and　then　they　left　me　and　I　looked　out　the　window　a　while　and　went　back　to　sleep。　I　ate　some　lunch　and　in　the　afternoon　Miss　Van　Campen；　the　superintendent；　came　up　to　see　me。　She　did　not　like　me　and　I　did　not　like　her。　She　was　small　and　neatly　suspicious　and　too　good　for　her　position。　She　asked　many　questions　and　seemed　to　think　it　was　somewhat　disgraceful　that　I　was　with　the　Italians。

〃Can　I　have　wine　with　the　meals？〃　I　asked　her。

〃Only　if　the　doctor　prescribes　it。〃

〃I　cant　have　it　until　he　es？〃

〃Absolutely　not。〃

〃You　plan　on　having　him　e　eventually？〃

〃Weve　telephoned　him　at　Lake　o。〃

She　went　out　and　Miss　Gage　came　back。

〃Why　were　you　rude　to　Miss　Van　Campen？〃　she　asked　after　she　had　done　something　for　me　very　skilfully。

〃I　didnt　mean　to　be。　But　she　was　snooty。〃

〃She　said　you　were　domineering　and　rude。〃

〃I　wasnt。　But　whats　the　idea　of　a　hospital　without　a　doctor？〃

〃Hes　ing。　Theyve　telephoned　for　him　to　Lake　o。〃

〃What　does　he　do　there？　Swim？〃

〃No。　He　has　a　clinic　there。〃

〃Why
