answered the man. “The hospital

about four miles out of Stanford,
Two drunks in another car ran in
to him. They hadn’t any lights, we
learned, and they were doing about
sixty-five.”
“And Jack?”
“Broken collar bone, internal in
juries; they don’t know what else
yet.”
The long gray walls seemed to
mock Winnie and Hope as they
hurried inside. Hope looked up at
her companion. Winnie’s eyes were
like deep brown pools of fear, dark
and unchanging. The hushed note
of the " building told through its
very silence stories of grief and
heartache and death.

nurse, motioning quietly to them.
