"You'll have to stay where you are for a while," he assured him. "There'll be no walking on that foot yet. It'll extend your leave, at any rate."
"I can't imagine how I was such an idiot as to do it," mourned Leonard. "I just seemed to trip, and couldn't save myself."
"We'll borrow you some crutches from the Red Cross when you're well enough to use them," laughed the doctor. "You'll be well looked after here. Miss Elaine is one of my best nurses at the hospital."
Marjorie and Dona arrived back at school late for Preparation, but were graciously forgiven by Mrs. Morrison when they explained the unfortunate reason of their delay.
"It's ripping to have both Leonard and Larry at Whitecliffe," said Dona to Marjorie in private.
"Rather! I think I know one person who won't altogether regret the accident."
"Leonard?"
"Yes, Leonard certainly; but somebody else too."
"I know—Elaine."
"She'll have the time of her life nursing him."
