A moment of silence. Then:
“Dick, were you over to see Corporal Rand this morning?”
“Yes.”
“Better, isn’t he?”
“Much better. I never saw anyone improve so rapidly.”
“But you didn’t talk with Dr. Brady. Did he tell you, Dick—did you hear——”
In his excitement, Sandy pulled forward a chair and plumped himself into it, putting both hands on Dick’s knees.
“Dr. Brady admits that he was wrong. His first examination was—er—well, a little hasty. Those feet, for example. Bad, of course, but——”
“Do you mean to tell me he’ll walk?”
“Exactly.”
