"Have you heard lately from your doctor in Oklahoma?"
"I hear about every day! I was with him just long enough for him to
find that I was useful and he's wild to have me there again. I wired
him that I'm ready to go, but that the sick man is nervous about making
the return trip alone. Of course he wants to keep on the good side of
a good patient, so he answered, 'Stay on'."
"Are you able to do anything for your patient? He's still in the
hospital, isn't he?"
"I go there every day and he sends me on errands all over town. I'm
getting to know almost as much about oil as I do about medicine! But
I'm rather tired of playing errand boy."
"You have a chance to see your family."
"And you. But I'm supposed to stay at the hotel, much to Mother's
disgust. I'm doing a little medical inspection among Father's poor
people, though. That whiles away a few hours every day, and of course,
every time I go to the hospital the doctors there tell me about any
interesting new cases, so I'm not 'going stale' entirely."
"As if you could!" exclaimed Gertrude admiringly.
