The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 o’clock.

The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.
