It was late when the last basin was emptied and Dr. Masbrennier untied his apron. As we were washing up, I asked if he would be good enough to guide me out of the hospital and tell me where there was a respectable restaurant to which a woman might go alone. "I have neither hat, coat, nor gloves. They're coming in the carts."
"Yes." I lied. "Have you a good temperament?" "Yes." "Then come over here and hold this basin." I obeyed, and then Doctor Jean Masbrennier began a series of operations which will remain graven in my memory forever. As he worked he talked and informed me that the Red Cross Society had been hastily evacuated in the morning, doctors and all.
Masbrennier and though I advanced out of earshot the words, "evacuation" and "to-night" were distinctly audible. A second later my companion caught up with me. "So sorry I can't accompany you, but the whole hospital goes to Orleans immediately. Must make room for the new-comers! I'll 'phone home. The gouvernante will make you comfortable."
