Chapter VI
Carlotta Harrison pleaded a headache, and was excused from the operating-room and from prayers. “I'm sorry about the vacation,” Miss Gregg said kindly, “but in a day or two I can let you off. Go out now and get a little air.” The girl managed to dissemble the triumph in her eyes. “Thank you,” she said languidly, and turned away.
