She heard herself speaking, "Not enonrh lore, not enough-- " XVI Hope shivered, looking the big doctor's waiting room, and for no good reason as it was warm. It was also big, the furniI ture solid. There were other women, wait ing with Hope: some were middle-aged and looked 'nervous, or thin, fat; one was quite old; the rest were young or almost young, and obviously pregnant. ' With these there were escorts, women who .looked .like their mothers or best friends. One by one, they vanished as the doctor loped to the door, easy and relaxed, and crooked a finger; he was a tall man, and informal. He smiled, at Hope when he saw her there. "Well, hello," he said. When her turn came she followed him into his office and sat d down by a big desk. There were photographs on it, too. But the walls were dark with books. The doctor's nurse - whisked in, spoke to Hope by name, whisked out again. "How in the world can she keep us straight?" Hope asked. "She hasn't seen me for years." "It's a secret," answered the doctor, "and known only to our Miss T." He had always called his office nurse Miss T, Hope remembered. He looked up, smiling. "Yes, a long time," he said, "must; be over 10 years."
