"They tell us you are a specialist in such cases as our boy's," John Lester said. "Will you undertake Dick?"
Fraser hesitated.
"I'll examine him, and give you an opinion, if you wish," he said. "I can't say more until we see the result of the examination."
"Will you do it on the ship?"
The doctor shook his head.
"I'd rather not. The slightest roll, or vibration of the screw might make a difference."
"I'm glad," said Mrs. Lester. "Dick is happy—let him have his time on board in peace."
"Yes, that's so," Fraser agreed. He looked at her eager face pityingly.
