〃Yes。　I　cant　wait　six　months　to　be　operated　on。　My　God；　doctor；　did　you　ever　stay　in　bed　six　months？〃

〃You　wont　be　in　bed　all　the　time。　You　must　first　have　the　wounds　exposed　to　the　sun。　Then　afterward　you　can　be　on　crutches。〃

〃For　six　months　and　then　have　an　operation？〃

〃That　is　the　safe　way。　The　foreign　bodies　must　be　allowed　to　encyst　and　the　synovial　fluid　will　re…form。　Then　it　will　be　safe　to　open　up　the　knee。〃

〃Do　you　really　think　yourself　I　will　have　to　wait　that　long？〃

〃That　is　the　safe　way。〃

〃Who　is　that　first　captain？〃

〃He　is　a　very　excellent　surgeon　of　Milan。〃

〃Hes　a　first　captain；　isnt　he？〃

〃Yes；　but　he　is　an　excellent　surgeon。〃

〃I　dont　want　my　leg　fooled　with　by　a　first　captain。　If　he　was　any　good　he　would　be　made　a　major。　I　know　what　a　first　captain　is；　doctor。〃

〃He　is　an　excellent　surgeon　and　I　would　rather　have　his　judgment　than　any　surgeon　I　know。〃

〃Could　another　surgeon　see　it？〃

〃Certainly　if　you　wish。　But　I　would　take　Dr。　Varellas　opinion　myself。〃

〃Could　you　ask　another　surgeon　to　e　and　see　it？〃

〃I　will　ask　Valentini　to　e。〃

〃Who　is　he？〃

〃He　is　a　surgeon　of　the　Ospedale　Maggiore。〃

〃Good。　I　appreciate　it　very　much。　You　understand；　doctor；　I　couldnt　stay　in　bed　six　months。〃

〃You　would　not　be　in　bed。　You　would　first　take　a　sun　cure。　Then　you　could　have　light　exercise。　Then　when　it　was　encysted　we　would　operate。〃

〃But　I　cant　wait　six　months。〃

The　doctor　spread　his　delicate　fingers　on　the　cap　he　held　and　smiled。　〃You　are　in　such　a　hurry　to　get　back　to　the　front？〃

〃Why　not？〃

〃It　is　very　beautiful；〃　he　said。　〃You　are　a　noble　young　man。〃　He　stooped　over　and　kissed　me　very　delicately　on　the　forehead。　〃I　will　send　for　Valentini。　Do　not　worry　and　excite　yourself。　Be　a　good　boy。〃

〃Will　you　have　a　drink？〃　I　asked。

〃No　thank　you。　I　never　drink　alcohol。〃

〃Just　have　one。〃　I　rang　for　the　porter　to　bring　glasses。

〃No。　No　thank　you。　They　are　waiting　for　me。〃

〃Good…by；〃　I　said。

〃Good…by。〃

Two　hours　later　Dr。　Valentini　came　into　the　room。　He　was　in　a　great　hurry　and　the　points　of　his　mustache　stood　straight　up。　He　was　a　major；　his　face　was　tanned　and　he　laughed　all　the　time。

〃How　did　you　do　it；　this　rotten　thing？〃　he　asked。　〃Let　me　see　the　plates。　Yes。　Yes。　Thats　it。　You　look　healthy　as　a　goat。　Whos　the　pretty　girl？　Is　she　your　girl？　I　thought　so。　Isnt　this　a　bloody　war？　How　does　that　feel？　You　are　a　fine　boy。　Ill　make　you　better　than　new。　Does　that　hurt？　You　bet　it　hurts。　How　they　love　to　hurt　you；　these　doctors。　What　have　they　done　for　you　so　far？　Cant　that　girl　talk　Italian？　She　should　learn。　What　a　lovely　girl。　I　could　teach　her。　I　will　be　a　patient　here　myself。　No；　but　I　will　do　all　your　maternity　work　free。　Does　she　understand　that？　She　will　make　you　a　fine　boy。　A　fine　blonde　like　she　is。　Thats　fine。　Thats　all　right。　What　a　lovely　girl。　Ask　her　if　she　eats　supper　with　me。　No　I　wont　take　her　away　from　you。　Thank　you。　Thank　you　very　much；　Miss。　Thats　all。〃
