“I asked the operator and he says it's from Mr. Slocum, who is in Cincinnati. He telegraphed the doctor to go and see his wife who is sick.”
“Well, take it over to Dr. Brown's office and ask him to go and see her.”
About half an hour later the thought of the telegram came into her mind. “I wonder if he found Dr. Brown in. I'd better find out.”
She rang the office. “Did you find Dr. Brown in?”
“Yes, he was there.”
“And you gave the message to him?”
“Yes, he took it.”
“I hope he went right down?”
“No, he said he wouldn't go.”
“Wouldn't go!” exclaimed Mary, much astonished.
