VISITING NUBSE CHAPTER 12 HLLDRED had hoped at first, though now she had dla 1 carded the idea as hopeless, to open Randy's eyea by receiving : the attentions of another man. But ; it was over Jimmy, rather than Lucien, that this awakening 'started. I, j As a matter of fact, It wan be cause he chanced to overhear the tail-end of her conversation ever the phone with Mrs. Jones, ar ranging for Jimmy's visit, that Randy opened the argument It was an argument that soon threat ' ened to run into what appeared to . be the first serious difference be 1 tween the young doctor and his assistant nurse. "Anything the matter at the Home?" Randy asked, as she hung up the receiver. i She had not heard him come in to his office and so Hildred gave a decidedly guilty start. "Oh ... I thought you were busy with Mrs. jMcCarty and her baby . . . The Home? No, no, nothing is wrong that I know of." ! Randy looked at her with an : odd, puzzled expression. "You were talking with Mrs. Jones, weren't you? I heard you say something about coming out . . . one oi tne children ... if anything is wrong I ought to know about it." "I didn't know you were listen ing to my conversation," Hildred returned. "Nothing is wrong, as I told you before." "I did not intend eavesdrop ping." Randy's tone was curt, pro fessional. "It was my impression you were talking with Mrs. Jones, discussing a patient. If it was a personal conversation, I am sorry." "You need not be." Hildred no longer felt guilty; she was angry. She had stood for Randy's lordly attitude far too long. "It was not personal. I was talking with Mrs. Jones. The conversation was in regard to Jimmy. And, since you seem to think you have to know everything that goes on, I was ar ranging to call for him tomorrow to take him home with me and CHAPTER 13 'T S HE jealous?" Mamie asked, a knowine eleam in her shrewd eye. "Did it work out like you wanted, your going out with that ncn young manr ui men are alike. ..." "No, Mamie," Hildred shook her head again, emphatically this time. "You're kidding yourself therel The doctor is made of flesh and blood, ain't he? He just don't know it yet: he's that busy prac ticing on others. What you gotta do, Hildy, is practice on him, and keep on practicing. Don't you not if you love him give up." That was what she had decided was best. But she could be wrong as she felt Randy was about Jimmy. Maybe Mamie was right Maybe she did give up too easily. But, with Jimmy, she had not eiven in. That could be a start for practice. Unless she failed with Jimmy and had to admit in the end that Randy had been right. But she could not do that, she mustn t "I love him all right" Hildred admitted that without reservation, if a bit wearily. "But it's no use, Mamie. Especially after the argu ment we just had." If she knew Randy, as she was so confident she did. he would never auite for ive her for her insubordination ' unless he won in this case of Jimmy and she acknowledged it. JIMMY looked so badly when Hildred went to fetch him the follow tng day it was a saiur day afternoon, her half-day off -that Hildred was alarmed. "Jimmy," she said gently, as soon as they were away from the Home, riding in an open bus that would take them past the park for a stop-over on the way, "Have you been a big boy, as I asked you to?" The child hung his head, refus ing to meet her eyes. "I'm not scoldine ." Hildred said "I know you tried.

"I see." He did not look as if he did. There was a deep line be tween his sandy brows. '"Don't you think you might have dis cussed that with me?" He sat down in his swivel chair, crossing his long, lean legs. "You know how I feel about such matters, Hildy. That it is better not to in terfere. The sooner a child gets adjusted to a new environment the better.' . "Jimmy will never get adjust ed," Hildred said. She leaned against the other side of the desk. She needed its support "The doctor usually gives the prescription." Randy's gray eyes were hard and cold as flint. 'The prescription and the doctor could be wrong," she said. "Patients have been known to die, because doctors think they are so infall:blo." "I don't think that. Any more thrtn I think ,Tir my is going to die. V.'ir.t has got into you, Hildy? Y'tu've never questioned ray judpnont befo e. "Oh. Vnven't I? That shov s bow Mind and stupid you are. I don't question it when it comes to purely professional, medical and surgical matters. But this is an other issue, one in the realms of psychology. No, beyond that, it's a matter of a woman's instinct telling her, in this case, she knows more than any man." RANDY was looking at her as if he never had seen her be fore, as indeed he never had in this mood not as aroused as this. "You are the one who is making an issue." His tone was cold. "I don't question the wisdom of psy chology, or even the power of woman's intuition. However in this particular case-history I feel that the child should make the necessary readjustment, though it will, I grant you, be difficult for him, without the interference 1 spoke of before. "I cannot agree!" Hildred won dered that she dared interrupt, but she now dared anything. "Do you think if I were not sure I was right I would insist Lanier again, if it is harder for you when you have to return." 'That's it." the boy said, his lip trembling painfully. "Why do I have to go back there, ever? Why can't 1 stay always with you and Mr. Lanier? un, miss Hiiay, i a be so awfully good I'd try so hard if only I could!" He look ed at her now, his big dark eyes full of anxious pleading. Hildred's heart twisted within her. She also felt a sense of fear Randy could be right he usu ally was. But no, she must not think that; she must work against it I hardly see how mat coum be possible, Jimmy." She had to tell him the truth, but she tem pered the truth slightly, adding, If you'll try even harder next time, when you're back in the Home, maybe we can worn out a plan." The little boy s eyes were so radiant with joy at this half- promise that Hildred w&s the one who had to look away. She knew she ought not to Ijatye, given, thirp. even that small hope. Yet you never could tell, something else might work out some day. Mean while if that hope would help Jimmy to carry on, it seemed a right thing to give to mm. Thev had a fine time in the park and after supper that evening Hil dred took the bov to a picture show the kind of show a little boy delights in, with cowboys riding and guns popping and a comic for cood measure. "I hope it was not too much ex citement." her mother, who had accompanied them, said, after Jimmy had been nut to bed on the living room couch. "He is a dear little boy, Hildred. as .you said. It is lovely for us to have him, but I wonder . . do you suppose it renllv is eood for him? Do you suppose it rouM mnke it harder, the coinc-bacic when this Is over?'1 "Please don't sffrt that!" Hil dred had not rm;nt to give her mother surh a sharo reply. But she would have to hava her . . 1 i VtifA By KalUeen Harris 1 upon holding to my judgment?" "I think you could be wrong this one time." She hated to talk this way to Randy not because it was against all her training as a nurse, but because she loved him. "I think you should let me j' have a chance to prove I could be right, for once. Of course 1 realize you can give orders that I cannot take Jimmy from the Home." "It is not a question of that" Randy broke in this time. The line between his sandy brows was a scowL But now it cleared as if a storm had suddenly blown away. His eyes remained cool, his man ner aloof, but he said briefly. "Very well, have it your way. I'll give you the chance. I shan't give any orders. You may consider it your case from now on." Hildred leaned her weight eveni more heavily on the desk, resting the palms of both hands on it for support. Victory had come too abruptly, too unexpectedly and much too completely. "I hope your intuition works out successfully for the boy's sake," Randy said. "Maybe it will. I admit I could be wrong. I hope I am this once." t She knew she was right. All she had to do to reassure herself was to remember the perfect day spent with the little boy and Robin and Lucien. "Lands sake!" Mamie whis pered, m the tiny closet that served as a sort of lab. "You and the Doc sure had it, didn't you?" Hildred nodded silently, still lost in thought. "You sure let him have it!" Mamie shook her gray crop of hair in approval and awe. "Couldn't get the words of course. But couldn't help hearing the way " you raised your voice." It was as well that Mrs. Mc Carty and her baby the last patients for this day had de parted. Hildred had not thought about Manjie. though if she had, it would not have mattered. The only thing that mattered now was to make things right for Jimmy. mother on her side. "I'm sure I'm right about Jimmy, Mummie. Anyway, now mat he is my case we will have to give my way a try." She went on to tell her mother something of the argu ment she and Randy had had. Her mother said that she would help all she could; as she felt, with her daughter, that maybe a wo man could know more than a doc- . tor at times. Jimmy did not sleep well. He tossed and turned and talked in his sleep all throunhout the night. Twice Hildred got up to go in to him. The second time he clung to her and cried and said he had had a bad dream about going back to the Home and that she had never come for him again, l-iuarea soothed him as best she could, re minding him of her promise to work things out some way, if pos sible. It had taken on the propor tion of almost a whole promise now. But the little boy went bacK to sleep after that. He looked so. peaceful, long, curling dark lashes on his thin pale face, that she could ndl he sorry though' she felt guilty. If there was anything more angelic than a child asleep she did not know what it was. A rtn.n , V". ! r. V", , a ch. 1 1 , TV, bled back into her bed, that she would talk it all over with Lucien tomorrow. That is if it were pos sible, since his mother would be present. But Lucien, she felt con fident, would fully understand and agree with her, if Randy did not. She was glad she had such a friend. She was glad now she was going to the great house for tea, as it would give her that oppor tunity. Lucien had said that when Robin called for her he could take the little boy and her mother for a ride. That would be a treat for both of them and Robin would take excellent care of Jimmy. Lucien was so kind, so sym pathetic, when once one knew him as he really was. . . . But it was Randy Hildred dreamed about when she finally dozed off toward daylight 4.
