om　and　came　back　with　the　old　nurse　of　the　early　morning。　Together　they　made　the　bed　with　me　in　it。　That　was　new　to　me　and　an　admirable　proceeding。

〃Who　is　in　charge　here？〃

〃Miss　Van　Campen。〃

〃How　many　nurses　are　there？〃

〃Just　us　two。〃

〃Won't　there　be　more？〃

〃Some　more　are　ing。〃

〃When　will　they　get　here？〃

〃I　don't　know。　You　ask　a　great　many　questions　for　a　sick　boy。〃

〃I'm　not　sick；〃　I　said。　〃I'm　wounded。〃

They　had　finished　making　the　bed　and　I　lay　with　a　clean　smooth　sheet　under　me　and　another　sheet　over　me。　Mrs。　Walker　went　out　and　came　back　with　a　pajama　jacket。　They　put　that　on　me　and　I　felt　very　clean　and　dressed。

〃Don't　you　know　when　the　other　nurses　are　ing？〃

〃Why？　Don't　we　take　good　care　of　you？〃

〃You're　very　nice。〃

〃Would　you　like　to　use　the　bedpan？〃

〃I　might　try。〃

They　helped　me　and　held　me　up　but　it　was　not　any　use。　Afterward　I　lay　and　looked　out　the　open　doors　onto　the　balcony。

〃When　does　the　doctor　e？〃

〃When　he　gets　back。　We've　tried　to　telephone　to　Lake　o　for　him。〃

〃Aren't　there　any　other　doctors？〃

〃He's　the　doctor　for　the　hospital。〃

Miss　Gage　brought　a　pitcher　of　water　and　a　glass。　I　drank　three　glasses　and　then　they
