Miss Bergyn rose at Lloyd's sudden entrance into her room, and to her question responded: "It was only because I wanted to spare you further trouble and and embarrassment, Lloyd, that I told Miss Douglass to take your place. This call is from Medford. Dr. Pitts was here himself this morning, and he thought as I did." "Thought what? I don't understand."
Lloyd pushed it open, entered, and, closing the door behind her, stood there leaning against it. The table was almost full; only two or three places besides her own were unoccupied. There was Miss Bergyn at the head; the fever nurse, Miss Douglass, at her right, and, lower down, Lloyd saw Esther Thielman; Delia Craig, just back from a surgical case of Dr.
But Lloyd she had known for years, and realised that if she had yielded, it had only been after the last hope had been tried. In the end Lloyd told her everything that had occurred. But, though she even admitted Bennett's affection for her, she said nothing about herself, and Miss Bergyn did not ask.
Ask me to believe anything but that you no, I won't say the word. There was some very good reason, wasn't there?" "I I cannot explain," Lloyd answered. "You must think what you choose. You wouldn't understand." But, happily, when Lloyd's reticence finally broke Miss Bergyn did understand. The superintendent nurse knew Bennett only by report.
"Sit down, Lloyd," said Miss Bergyn; "don't stand. You are not very well yet; I'll have Rownie bring you a glass of sherry." There was a silence. Then at length: "No," said Lloyd quietly. "I don't want any sherry. I don't want any supper. I came down to tell you that you are all wrong in thinking I did what I could with my typhoid case at Medford. You think I left only after the patient had died.
Now she only knew that her head was aching fiercely; she did not care either to look into the past or forward into the future. The present occupied her; for the present her head was aching. But before Lloyd went to bed that night Miss Bergyn knew the whole truth as to what had happened at Dr. Pitts's house.
As she came nearer she looked cautiously at the windows of the agency. Who would be the first to note her home-coming? Would it be Miss Douglass, or Esther Thielman, or Miss Bergyn, the superintendent nurse? What would first be said to her? With what words would she respond? Then how the news of the betrayal of her trust would flash from room to room!
I I was called out of my turn specially called that was it." "Were you?" demanded Lloyd sharply, for the other nurse was disturbed to an extraordinary degree. "Well, then; no, I wasn't, but the superintendent Miss Bergyn she thought she advised you had better see her." "I will see her," declared Lloyd, "but don't you go till I find out why I was skipped."
