“Not able?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“You may need me.”
“You think I am going to be as bad as that? Then that infernal doctor must have told you something he did not say to me! But I’ll fool him—I’ll fool them all! I’ll get up all right in a day or so! It’s nothing but a sprained back! Why doesn’t Darrell come to me? Has he gone back on me entirely?”
“Perhaps the doctor has told everybody to keep away.”
“Confound the doctor! June, go find Hal Darrell and tell him to come here right away. I have something to say to that fellow, and I’m going to say it while it is hot on my mind.”
“Keep still while I am gone,” she said. “Will you?”
He promised, and she left the room to look for Darrell.
