〃Where　is　Madame　Henry？〃

〃A　lady　has　just　gone　to　the　delivery　room。〃

〃Where　is　it？〃

〃I　will　show　you。〃

She　took　me　down　to　the　end　of　the　hall。　The　door　of　the　room　was　partly　open。　I　could　see　Catherine　lying　on　a　table；　covered　by　a　sheet。　The　nurse　was　on　one　side　and　the　doctor　stood　on　the　other　side　of　the　table　beside　some　cylinders。　The　doctor　held　a　rubber　mask　attached　to　a　tube　in　one　hand。

〃I　will　give　you　a　gown　and　you　can　go　in；〃　the　nurse　said。　〃e　in　here；　please。〃

She　put　a　white　gown　on　me　and　pinned　it　at　the　neck　in　back　with　a　safety　pin。

〃Now　you　can　go　in；〃　she　said。　I　went　into　the　room。

〃Hello；　darling；〃　Catherine　said　in　a　strained　voice。　〃Im　not　doing　much。〃

〃You　are　Mr。　Henry？〃　the　doctor　asked。

〃Yes。　How　is　everything　going；　doctor？〃

〃Things　are　going　very　well；〃　the　doctor　said。　〃We　came　in　here　where　it　is　easy　to　give　gas　for　the　pains。〃

〃I　want　it　now；〃　Catherine　said。　The　doctor　placed　the　rubber　mask　over　her　face　and　turned　a　dial　and　I　watched　Catherine　breathing　deeply　and　rapidly。　Then　she　pushed　the　mask　away。　The　doctor　shut　off　the　petcock。

〃That　wasnt　a　very　big　one。　I　had　a　very　big　one　a　while　ago。　The　doctor　made　me　go　clear　out；　didnt　you；　doctor？〃　Her　voice　was　strange。　It　rose　on　the　word　doctor。

The　doctor　smiled。

〃I　want　it　again；〃　Catherine　said。　She　held　the　rubber　tight　to　her　face　and　breathed　fast。　I　heard　her　moaning　a　little。　Then　she　pulled　the　mask　away　and　smiled。

〃That　was　a　big　one；〃　she　said。　〃That　was　a　very　big　one。　Dont　you　worry；　darling。　You　go　away。　Go　have　another　breakfast。〃

〃Ill　stay；〃　I　said。

We　had　gone　to　the　hospital　about　three　oclock　in　the　morning。　At　noon　Catherine　was　still　in　the　delivery　room。　The　pains　had　slackened　again。　She　looked　very　tired　and　worn　now　but　she　was　still　cheerful。

〃Im　not　any　good；　darling；〃　she　said。　〃Im　so　sorry。　I　thought　I　would　do　it　very　easily。　Now……theres　one……〃　she　reached　out　her　hand　for　the　mask　and　held　it　over　her　face。　The　doctor　moved　the　dial　and　watched　her。　In　a　little　while　it　was　over。

〃It　wasnt　much；〃　Catherine　said。　She　smiled。　〃Im　a　fool　about　the　gas。　Its　wonderful。〃

〃Well　get　some　for　the　home；〃　I　said。

〃There　one　es；〃　Catherine　said　quickly。　The　doctor　turned　the　dial　and　looked　at　his　watch。

〃What　is　the　interval　now？〃　I　asked。

〃About　a　minute。〃

〃Dont　you　want　lunch？〃

〃I　will　have　something　pretty　soon；〃　he　said。

〃You　must　have　something　to　eat；　doctor；〃　Catherine　said。　〃Im　so　sorry　I　go　on　so　long。　Couldnt　my　husband　give　me　the　gas？〃

〃If　you　wish；〃　the　doctor　said。　〃You　turn　it　to　the　numeral　two。〃

〃I　see；〃　I　said。　There　was　a　marker　on　a　dial　that　turned　with　a　handle。

〃I　want　it　now；〃　Catherine　said。　She　held　the　mask　tight　to　her　face。　I　turned　the　dial　to　number　two　and　when　Catherine　put　down　the　mask　I　turned　it　off。　It　was　very　good　of　the　doctor　to　let　me　do　something。

〃Did　you　do　it；　darling？〃　Catherine　asked。　She　stroked　my　wrist。
