Book Description
The Fairfax Hospitals for Women and Children were established under the terms of the will of wealthy Arthur Fleming on the old family property.
Dr. Peter Mason, Chief Surgeon, was coldly polite to Miss Amy Fleming when she came back to Fairfax and told she meant to live in the part of the Big House that had been the first home built by the Flemings in this valley, in the very rooms which Peter Mason himself used.
Come home to live Miss Amy might, Dr. Mason agreed; even come home to live on hospital property. The will provided that she might do so.
But the Chief Surgeon was not moving out of his rooms in the old wing - unless he should, also, move away from the Hospitals.
Miss Amy, matching him word for word in icy courtesy, in frigid manner, replied that she would not allow Dr. Mason to leave.
They looked at each other - blazing blue eyes, anger-darkened green ones. Miss Amy was not used to having her will opposed. She shrugged, bit her lip. Well, at any rate, she meant to stay at the Hospital. Peter smiled, bowed. He himself suggested the old tenant's house, down the slope towards the river.
But Dr. Mason and Miss Amy had only called a truce.They could not agree on so much as the colour of a sunset.
