CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX Cail heard a voice, “Gail, darting.” She turned around dazedly. Steve was beside the policeman; Steve had spoken to her. His face was streaked with dirt, there was a nasty cut on his rigid arm, his blue ' 1 suit was in shreds. “And this is the sort of thing *’ the English have been taking for : j months,” she said. ‘‘Buildings in i ruins, lives snuffed out -” "This wasn't a bomb, darling, it wa* a careless workman.” "Where’s everybody?" she whispered. 2 “Father came down with the first i ambulance,” be said proudly. “He's near the gate, hi* nurse* are with f him. He’s all right, the old buy,” Her throat was tight. She could s barely speak. "What happened to the right wing?" “The explosion caved in the wall* and roof. A good many women wentrapped there . . . I’ve got to get back.” He left her and she pushed 0 her way numbly through the I- crowds. 0 When she got to the gate, she saw a car drive up and stop. “Gail— Gaff—” a girl’s voice screamed. She turned around. It was Lucienne, getting out of the car. Lu- *’ cienne in her green suit, her goingaway suit, a spray of orchids on her ‘ shoulder. Ralph was beside her, still • in his morning coat, his striped i. trousers. “We just heard about it, when Lucienne was changing her dress," he shouted. Dr. Kramer stripped off his hand■mie coat. He rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt. “Where shall I go?" he asked. “To the right wing,” Gail answered. “Women are trapped—" He moved away. “Ralph!" Lucienne cried. “Be careful, darling.” Gail thought bitterly: You needn’t worry. Ralph always plays safe... As she followed him through the mob, she saw him move toward the one remaining wall of the right wing that teetered perilously. “Take it easy,” a policeman ordered. "Don’t go near that wall!” Suddenly they heard a woman’s scream, coming from the vicinity of that swaying wall. "Help!” she wailed, “Helilppp!" A fireman forced his way through the crowd, with Ralph close behind him. “Darling—” Lucienne cried wildly. “You'll get hurt!" The last they saw were the handsomely trousered legs running toward the failing wall through thick smoke. They were gathered around the bed, at the Thayer Hospital. Howard Thayer, looking old and defeated, Agnes, holding a handkerchief to her eyes, Dr. Cassius McCormick, quiet, cold, but not so aloof. He had taken charge when Ralph was brought into the hospital and during a gruelling three-hour stretch in the operating room, he had performed a miracle. . . Gail, iu * fxsAh white coat, was steading be*ide Lucienne.

The room was silent. All eyes were fixed on the figure in the narrow bed. Once Agnes broke into a stifled whimper, but Lucienne’s gaze silenced her. Lucienne was as immobile as a wax figure in her pretty clothes... Suddenly Kramer’s swollen lipa moved. Lucienne leaned over him. "Ralph,” she whispered. The heavy lips curved into a sudden smile. “Lily," Ralph said clearly, "Lily.” Gail felt her heart tighten In pity. He would live, yes, but all Lucienne’s life she would remember that it was Lily he called for. Not his wife—but Lily Lanahan. Lucienne was in her arms, crying out like a little girl, asking for comfort. "He'll live, darling,” murmured Gail. She held Lucienne dose. And as Steve McCormick came toward her, she realized suddenly from where her strength came. Steve. Dear, wonderful Steve I • • » • It was Dr. McCormick's custom after any long operation to go to his ow n office, and sip sherry quietly while his nerve* relaxed. This half hour was always sacred to him. not even Ralph Kramer had ever been allowed to disturb it. He poured the sherry now. and stood looking at it absently. Three days had passed since the catastrophe at the Thayer-Jelke plant, and he had had almost no time away from the operating room. Hi* hand found the bell on bis desk, rang it. Miss Adam*, hi* nur*e, appeared. "Cali my assistant,” he said. “Right Mis* Adams went away, popeyed with curiosity. This was certainly breaking a precedent of years! He wa* still standing at his desk, when Gail Benton came in. She wa* in her white operating gown and cap, the mask slipped down like a bib on her chest. "You wanted me, Doctor McCormick?” Gail had l>ecn his'assistant for three days. She felt he'd only asked her to help out because of Ralph’s accident. But she'd assisted in four operations, including today's. Today's operation . , . Steve McCormick, the man she loved, had been the patient. And she had helped his father make a horribly wounded shoulder whole again. Doctor McCormick turned to her. “Um not going to say anything. No recriminations, no suggestions, not even praise.” He added softly, "You are too big for praise." She said quietly, “Thank you.” “And now I want to offer you something—” She waited. “The Hospital is short of doctors. We need a resident immediately. It is up to me to appoint him.
