Kitty couldn’t go anywhere until she saw for herself how Brad was. The nurse was just propping him up for his dinner as Kitty entered.
“Surely is grand to see you eating, Brad!” she said happily when she went in.
Though his left arm was bound against his body he could feed himself with his right hand.
“That transfusion put the kick right back into me,” Brad said. “Sorry I was such a nuisance last night.”
“Don’t be silly!”
She followed the nurse to the door and closed it tightly. “Brad, the whole thing came to a climax last night. Feel able to hear about it?”
“Sorry you don’t get the privilege, Kit, but Chief Carter and Captain Rogers were in here a couple of hours ago. They told me everything. You’ve really been super through it all.”
“I’m glad they talked with you. Hazel told me they’ve gone out to Terrapin Island now to get Beeson and Punaro. Sure hope no harm comes to Uncle Mose before they get there.”
“Hope so, too. We can use the old darky when we build our summer cottage in the pine thicket.”
“Our summer cottage in the pine thicket!” exclaimed Kitty and laughed suddenly. “Oh, Brad, what a dreamer you are! They must have you sort of doped still.”
