She didn't answer his question. Instead, Belinda could tell she was studying him, her eyes--as sharp in their own way as his-- assessing everything about him.

She must have been impressed by the nicely dressed, professional young man, because she finally answered him, respect in her tone. "You caught me by surprise," she responded slowly. "I was expecting my favorite Doctah Luke to be in to see me. Now I see a good-looking young man who appeahs to me to know what he is doing. How can such a small town have the honah of two such notable doctahs while the city of Boston suffahs with old has-beens and young, smug upstarts?"

Jackson laughed heartily, patting her hand as he did so.

"Doctah Brown, you say?" Mrs. Stafford-Smyth said, turning toward Belinda. "Where did you evah find him, my deah?"

Belinda could feel her cheeks flushing. She could also feel Jackson's eyes upon her. She did wish that Mrs. Stafford-Smyth were not quite so forthright.

"Dr. Brown grew up in our community," she explained, hoping her voice was even and controlled. "His mother is the schoolteacher in our country school. Dr. Luke has been in touch with him all through his trainin', hopin' to entice him back to our little town."

The elderly lady's eyes again rested on Jackson. "I still say it is unfai-ah," she protested good-naturedly.

Jackson became serious and all-doctor then, examining the patient, asking questions, and jotting items of note on the small pad he carried.

Mrs. Stafford-Smyth cooperated. Belinda had the impression that she rather liked doctors fussing over her.

"We have some new medication I would like to try," Jackson told the woman. "It has been used with good success in the hospital where I took my training. I will explain to Nurse Davis the dosage and how it is to be administered."
