"I did."
"You're a liar."
Hall winced. "Is that the best you have to say? How about the magnificent doctor?"
"He's really good, Matt. I'm not kidding. I've worked with some corking medics in my day, but this guy is tops." She told Hall about the masterly way in which Ansaldo had taken command of the situation, kicking all the San Hermano doctors out of the sick room and examining Tabio only in the presence of Marina, Jerry and Tabio's son.
"What's the matter with him?"
"Ansaldo has an idea. But he has to make certain."
"What does it look like to you?"
"It could be many things. What's good to drink here?"
"Anything. Scotch and soda?"
"Oke. But really, Matt, you should have seen Doctor in that sick room." She launched into a long and enthusiastic account of the doctor at work.
