    ... Okay?” “Okay,” I repeated resignedly and let out a sigh. Doctor Harlow looked at me for a moment. “Miss Farmer,” he said eventually, “You are young and pretty. I imagine that you want to be up and about as soon as possible but believe me, if you rush you will only make things worse.” “I understand,” I sighed. “Doctor, could I ask a favour?” “Shoot,” he smiled. “Would you find out how my friend is please. I am very worried about her.” “Sure I will. A soon as I hear anything I will let you know, Okay?” “Thank you,” I replied, concious of the throbbing pain in my leg. It felt as though the whole of my thigh was on fire. “Okay, Li'l Lady,” he said, looking at my notes, “It seems you have had a rough day. There will be no more visitors tonight so you can rest easy, kid.” His broad smile seemed to light up the room and I smiled too, wondering if he had intended to sound like John Wayne. The nurse finished wrapping the bandage, this time from knee to groin, as if to prevent any movement and tied it off, placing a piece of fabric plaster over the knot to stop it coming unfastened.
