CHAPTER NINETEEN

Mary Berend was a war bride.
Her husband was a seaman, whose
life had been saved when his tanker
exploded, but who had Immediately
gone out on another boat. 1t was
five months since Mary had heard
from him. She was poor and alone
and hopeless. Gail had attended her
at the Prenatal Clinic. and had
taken an interest in her. She was
like a starved kitten.
Now, as she opened her small
black bag and laid out her instru-
ments, Gail said. "We1l do our best
to make il a boy, Mary"
The weary eyes looked at her,
suddenly painfully hostile. What
for" Mary demanded. $50 he can
be killed? What's he got to look
forward to? He's better of not
getting born. Tm-Tm better off
dead" Her words were drowned
in a spasm of pain.
Gail examined her carefully; the
blood pressure was n little high.
But that didn't trouble her so much
as Mary Berend's reluctance to
fight.
She sat down beside the bed,
preparing for a longish wait. She
was accustomed to the discomforts
and exigencies Of Home Delivery
babies. The year she had interned
at the Thayer Hospital, she and
Ralph Kramer had both got plenty
Of experience. DIR. Mccormick sent
them out on practically every Home
Delivery in the slums. They had
worked in squalor and filth. But
they had learned obstetrics.
/ That knowledge and experience
were to come in handy as the night
waned. The child was coming, but
the mother made no effort to help it.
Mary Berend lay in the sagging
bed, her body convulsed, her hands
elenched.
The night spent itself. Gail lost
track of time and Of her surround
ings. She was hardly aware of the
janitor's wife, who had brought in
a pot of coffee. Her blue silk frock
under the white linen gown was
drenched. The muscles around her
mouth ached with tension.
At five o'clock in the morning, the
child was born. A six-pound boy.
Gail wrapped him in little sheet,
and turned her attention to. Mary
again. Finally, when the janitor's
