Seeing no chance to get in the doctor retreated. Half an hour later he rang again. A giggle and a loud girlish voice in his ear asking, “Is this you, Nettie?”

“This is me.”

“Do you know who this is?”

“Course I do.”

“Bet ye don't.”

“Bet I do.”

“Who?”

“It's Mollie, of course.”

“You've guessed it. I tried to change my voice so you wouldn't know me.”
