In any case she had dreams.

Just as the great surgeon performed his operation over and over in his sleep, so Kitty Tynan, through long hours that night, and for many nights afterwards, saw the swift knives, helped to staunch the blood, held the basin, disinfected the instruments which had made an attack on the man of men in her eyes, and saw the wound stitched up--the last act of the business before the Young Doctor turned to her and said, "You'll do wherever you're put in life, Miss Kitty Tynan.

You're a great girl.

And now get some fresh air and forget all about it." Forget all about it! So, the Young Doctor knew what happened after a terrific experience like that! In truth, he knew only too well.
