Excerpt

"No," he said, evidently following a private line of thought; "you don't belong behind a counter, Leslie. I'm darned if I think you belong in the medical profession, either. The British army'd suit you."

McWhirter, short and stout, had been flirting with the nurse while preparing my room for the night. Yet, even in his playful banter, there was an earnestness that hinted at something greater. It was McWhirter who secured me my berth on the Ella. Little did I know that this fateful decision would change my life forever."
