THEY KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED
The Doctor
Take shorter steps, Joe. Every man ought to be taught how to carry a stretcher. Why, when I was in France . . . [He backs through the door.] Lower your end, Joe! You’ll give him apoplexy.
Tony
Oh! . . .
Joe
I got him. . . .
[He follows through the door with the foot of the cot. Another groan from Tony. Amy takes a step toward door.]
Father McKee
Better give ’em a minute.
[He goes into the bedroom. Amy is left alone. She stands quite still for a moment; then, giddily, drops into a chair. Father McKee returns.]
Father McKee
You’re a fine brave girl.
Amy
Thanks.
Father McKee
We have our trials, all of us.
