“Y––yes.”
“Do you understand?”

“You must, now.... I am going home to get some things. Then I shall go to the hospital. You can call me there until he is convalescent.”
“Will they let you stay there?”
“I have volunteered for general work. They are terribly short-handed and they are glad to have me.”
“I’ll come to-morrow,” said Palla.
“No. Wait.... Good-night, my darling.”
