experience had won for her many new privileges.
"Yes, I like it, Mr. Dalmain; particularly in this beautiful air."
"Have you had a case before in a house where they kept a motor?"
Nurse Rosemary hesitated. "Yes, I have stayed in houses where they
had motors, and I have been in Dr. Brand's. He met me at Charing
Cross once with his electric brougham."
"Ah, I know," said Garth. "Very neat. On your way to a case, or
returning from a case?"
Nurse Rosemary smiled, then bit her lip. "To a case," she replied
quite gravely. "I was on my way to his house to talk it over and
receive instructions."
"It must be splendid working under such a fellow as Brand," said
Garth; "and yet I am certain most of the best things you do are
quite your own idea. For instance, he did not suggest your week-end
plan, did he? I thought not. Ah, the difference it has made! Now
tell me. When we were motoring we never slowed up suddenly to pass
anything, or tooted to make something move out of the way, without
your having already told me what we were going to pass or what was
in the road a little way ahead.
