"Just let me see," and he looked over some letters. "It seems to me it was some such fantastical name—yes, here it is. Her name is Wren Salvey."
"Oh, my little Wren! And Clip is doing all this! Oh, I must go! Is she going to be operated upon?"
"Seems to me, little girl," and the young doctor put his hand over hers as would an elderly physician, "that you are over excitable. I will have to be giving you a sedative if you do not at once quiet down. The child is not to be operated upon, as I understand it. It is simply what we call an observation case."
"But she is at our house—she has been there since I came away. Why, however can all that be going on at home and no one there but the housekeeper—"
"The child was at your house, but is now in a private sanitarium," he said quickly. "I have had the pleasure of being in close correspondence with your friend Clip."
