"How's Roy?"
"He's going to sleep now, aren't you Roy?" Earl asked.
"Yea—I'm gonna sleep."
"I can't sleep," Glenn Starr said. "If we'd kept him here this morning, he'd have been all right."
"Is Bill up?" Earl asked.
"Yea! He's talking with the Doc in the kitchen. Doctor hasn't left yet."
"Send in Bill and tell Doc to wait a little while," Robinson said grimly.
Bill Boody came into the darkened room and sat down quietly by the couch.
"How's Roy?"
"Okay, Bill," Robinson said. "I been doing some thinking."
