Excerpt: ...doorway. "Father will be free-presently," said she. "He has another patient with him. If you don't care to wait, perhaps I can look after the cut. Father said it was a trifle." Arthur slipped his arm out of the sling. "In here," said Madelene, opening the door of a small room to the left of her father's consultation room. Arthur entered.
