“‘You’re beginning to spend more time in this sanatorium than me, Mr Evans,’ Dr Adams commented when he saw Harry hand the baskets to a nurse in the porch.
‘I was hoping that I could talk to you for a few minutes, Doctor Adams.’ ‘Make it brief.’ The doctor went into his office, Harry followed, but Diana’s father didn’t offer him a seat or close the door. ‘How did you find your grandfather?’ ‘Much better than I expected.’ ‘He has responded well to our treatment.’ Dr Adams sat behind his desk.
‘Wh...en can I see him again?’ ‘Despite appearances, he is very ill. Any activity that tires him is detrimental. And, although they may deny it, all patients find visits tiring, Mr Evans.’ ‘I realize that. But as I said to you earlier, we are a very close family and we would like to visit him as often as we can, even if only for a few minutes at a time.’ ‘You’ve asked me an impossible question, Mr Evans. I could tell you that you can see your grandfather once or twice a week, only to have to turn you away if he should be too weak to cope with a visit.’ ‘Mr Ross -’ ‘Mr Ross is working on a project with his uncle,’ Dr Adams interrupted impatiently.MoreLess
