[Richard Vandermarck by Miriam Coles Harris]@TWC D-Link bookRichard Vandermarck CHAPTER XVIII 19/20
Yesterday I sent to every one, for a dangerous case of hemorrhage, and could not find one disengaged.
It may be to-morrow night before you get on the track of one that is at liberty, if you hunt the city over.
And this girl is in need of instant care; her life hangs on it, you must see." "In God's name, then," said Richard, with a groan, pacing up and down the room, "what am I to do ?" "In _His_ name, if you come, to that," said the Doctor, who was a good sort of man, notwithstanding his professional cool ways, "there is a sisterhood, that I am told offer to do things like this.
I never sent to them, for I only heard of it a short time ago; but if you have no objection to crosses, and caps, and ritualistic nonsense in its highest flower, I have no doubt, that they will let you have a sister, and that she'll do good service here." "The direction," said Richard, too eager to be civil.
"How am I to get there ?" The Doctor pulled over a pocket-case of loose papers, and at last found one, which he handed his companion. "I give you three quarters of an hour to get back," he said.
