CHAPTER IX
So had they all Abby, the
Mileses and herself, but on Rich
ard had fallen the responsibility
of establishing its medical repu
tation.
His perception had helped build
that. The case of Rodney Becker,
because of its rarity and his par
ents’ social position, had received
much publicity in newspapers all
over the country. Richard had
been quite correct in diagnosing
the trouble not as rheumatic
fever but as a duct that nor
mally closed in babyhood, but
had failed in Rodney’s case;
thereby putting a strain on the
heart.
The little boy had been flown
to another city where an expert
surgeon had performed the op
eration. In a few weeks Rodney
would be able to run and play as
other children; thereby releasing
the terrible inner tension that
Janet had feared might affect;
him psychologically.
After that, applications had
come pouring in. Richard groan
ed as he wrote letters of refusal, j
“Janet, what am I going to tell
these distracted parents?” he;
said bitterly. "That we have only
ten beds—no more room,”
“No more money, no more
hands,” she added. j :
“Their letters are so pitiful—
if they were here I’m sure they’d (
be on their knees.”
“I know how you feel. Richard. j
but if we take any more than 1
ten patients they won’t receive
proper care.”
“You’re right, of course. But it;
gives me a wrench to think of all
these children. Lord, why aren’t .
there more homes in Oakhart —
or more money so that we could
build an addition.”
The countryside was buried un-'
der two feet of firmly packed 1
snow. Dozens of childishly con- 1
structed forts and snow men ;

| tracks of sleds criss-crossed a
gentle slope beyond the house.
Almost a month had passed
since Christmas.
It was good hearing their
voices again, their gossip about
. the big hospital, their teasing
remarks. With Richard they were
’ friendly but deferential as
i though his eight or nine years
1 more experience entitled him to
, a place apart.
After a time Abby brought in
a tray of turkey sandwiches and
j was introduced all around. They
liked the brusk, outspoken, moon
faced woman immediately and
were calling her "Aunt Abby” be
fore they left.
But the moment with Richard I
that Janet had hoped for was
shattered. By the time the last
“Merry 'Christmas” had floated
across the cold air, they were I
both too tired to say anything
more than goodnight.
“Janet, I want to talk to you.” 1
She looked up irom the analysis i
! she was making, suddenly anx-1
! ious. Richard’s voice sounded too ;
j serious.
“What is it, Richard,”
“I’ve been thinking of all the!
letters I’ve received since the re- j
covery of little Rodney Becker.
All those children that aren’t get-'
ting the proper care—l can’t get I.
it off my mind ”
“I know, it is upsetting. But
the world is full of unfortunate ■
children, Richard—we can’t help .'
them all.” ;
“No, but we can help more h
than we are.” j
“How?” :
“By building a wing onto Oak
hart.” <
“A wing! But, Richard, that .
takes money.” <
“I know it does—a good deal
of it. It would put Oakhart on ,
the basis of a regular hospital;
it would mean about thirty pa
tients instead of ten, additional,
' nurses, servants and cooks.”
“Exactly. How would we fi
i nance it?”
He leaned forward resting his
i large hand on the white enamel i
examination table. His eyes
searched her face, but seemed un
certain of what they found. “We
could mortgage Oakhart.”
"Then you don’t like the idea?”
Deep lines of disappointment
formed around his mouth.
“Yes, I do like the idea,
ft
"But what? You must have
some objection.”
“I don’t think Mr Hartigan
would like the idea of a mort
gage.”
His hands dropped to his sides.
;“Well, it’s your property.”
i Scarlet crept over her face,
lightening her hair to pale gold.
THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS: SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA
| “Don’t say that Richard. We
I went into this as a partnership.”
"Os course, my dear, but legal
j ly Oakhart is yours.”
“And yours. In this state half
. of what a wife has is her hus
band’s.” She stared at him curi-
■ ously. “Didn’t you know that,
1 Richard?”
His face had paled. “My Lord,
what must they be saying about
me at the hospital! And you, Ja
net, what must you have thought
of me?”
His embarrassment amused
her. “I married you, didn't I?”
"Yes . • .” he said slowly, “and
I’m beginning to wonder why.”
Because I love you and believe
in you, she wanted to say. “Be
[ cause I thought we’d make a
good team,” was what came out.
■ “How much would it cost, Rich
,ard?”
“About fifteen thousand.”
“I’ll go in to see Mr. Prentice,
i He may think of something.”
* * *
Janet entered Mr. Prentice’s ;
luxurious offices with a feeling of j
trepidation.
“Ah, Mrs- Eynon—what can I j
do for you?”
She remained standing, facing
him across a formidable expanse
of polished mahogany desk and
a set of very dry-looking law
books.
“Mr. Prentice, how much would
you say Oakhart was worth?”
He frowned. “About sixty thou
sand dollars, including the land.
But by the terms of Mr. Harti
gan’s will it can’t be put up for
sale for ten years.”
“I realize that, but I was won
dering if it would be considered
a good risk from the viewpoint
of a bank?”
His thin, bloodless lips tight
ened into an even thinner line ...
“Are you in debt, Mrs. Eynon?’ I
His eyes seemed to say, I knew !
Hartigan was making a mistake I
when he left his place to this in
competent young woman. It's j
easy to see she hasn’t a brain '
in her head.
“Not yet—” Janet said slowly.
“Not yet? Just what do you
mean by that?”
“My husband has a dream, Mr.
Prentice—l’d like to make that;
dream come true if it’s possible.” i
He stared at her as though she
had suddenly announced that the 1
world was coming to an end on I
j a certain date, then motionedl
her to a chair.
As she talked, J. D. Prentice
seemed to relax. Some of the |
lines in his thin face softened;
I and his eyes were less severe, i
Janet realized suddenly that she |
, was talking to a man who was.
under a great strain of some'
sort.
“I can’t alter the will,” he said
I now, “even though it’s possible
Sean Hartigan might have ap
proved your plan. There’s no way
> you can borrow on the tax money
I either, I’m afraid.”
“I won’t put a mortgage on
. Oakhart.” she said firmly. “That
1 seems to strike at the very core
i of the estate itself. I'm sure Mr.
Hartigan wouldn’t like that.”
He looked mildly pleased at
that remark. “Suppose I drive
out today 7 and see Oakhart—l
may be able to suggest some
thing.”
♦ ♦ ♦
The white, myriad-windowed
facade of Cosmopolitan Hospital
loomed before Janet. She felt a
strange nostalgic lump swell in
her throat. It was absurd, she
told herself, to become sentimen

. was running efficiently as a well

“Haven’t you been doing any

"Only a few since you left.

for leaving here, aside irom the

“Your chance will come, Cliff.”

He laughed at himself, then in
stantly sobered. “How are things
with you, Janet?”
“About the same. There was an
evening when I thought some
thing might happen to change
them, but Naomi appeared with
a carload of internes, and that
ended it.”
“She’s an attractive infant,” re
marked Cliff, “but I'm afraid she
) rather fancies herself as a femme
’ fatale.”
“In away, Naomi is my rea-1
son for coming in to see you.” j
“Oh, oh,” His eyes twinkled, j
“Do you need a reason, Janet?” I
“I’m afraid so, now. Anyway, i
she is the reason this time.”
“Do I smell a plot?”
“Not much of one. She’s invit-!
ed herself to spend Sunday with
us. Dr. and Mrs. Farquahar arc j
going to be out of town. I won

cooking most of the fall vege
