"I know her. Good!" he said, breaking in. "All right! That'll do!"
Ida, with a note from Dodo, went off in the automobile, leaving them alone.
"You'd better go too, young lady," he said abruptly.
"I am going to stay!" she said, up in arms at once.
"This is no place for you!"
"If I were a trained nurse," she said obstinately, "it would be all right! Well, I'm some one who has a great deal more interest in saving him than any nurse, and I am going to stay!" She turned impulsively. "Doctor Lampson, Mr. Lindaberry started to get hold of himself for me. It's my fault, I didn't do what I ought to; now I'm going to think of nothing else! Don't you understand, this is my fault? I just must help!"
"Well, of course, that's different!" he said, still undecided.
When they entered the bedroom, they found Lindaberry angry and excited, struggling to rise, against the efforts of Rogers to keep him in bed. Doré went to him without a thought of fear, laid her hand on his wrist, and said quickly:
"Garry, be quiet!"
He relaxed immediately at the one voice that penetrated the roaring in his brain. She turned with a smile toward Lampson, who was pulling his short beard.
