Out in the lighted corridor, looking like huge butterflies in their soft-colored dresses, Ann and Gwen and Bertha and Josie and all her other friends were beckoning to her. Cherry slipped out to them.

“We came to tell you what you missed, you poor thing!” Ann whispered excitedly. “The entertainment—–”

The girls chattered on. Cherry listened to the details.

They were loyal and dear to come, but to her surprise she was not much interested. Finally the girls slipped out, leaving a trail of laughter and scent.

“Good night and Merry Christmas,” Cherry called after them.

She returned to the ward and went immediately to look at the hemorrhage patient. He was all right. “Now why wasn’t I disappointed that I missed the entertainment?” Cherry wondered. The flashlight’s beam brushed her starched white apron. Then Cherry understood.

The white apron symbolized what Christmas stood for.

Cherry settled down at the head nurse’s desk for the long, lonely night. The night before Christmas. The night of unselfish love and goodness and devotion.
