“Is this you, Doctor?”
“It is.”
“I expect you will have to come out to our house.”
“Who is it?”
“This is Mary Milton.”
“What's the matter out there, Mrs. Milton?”
“Polly's gone and hurt her shoulder. I guess she run it into the ground.”
“Was she thrown from a horse or a vehicle?”
“No.”
“Then how could she run it into the ground?”
