child she had thrilled when Mary Bredforet had read
her the stories of Florence Nightingale's ruthless
courage, her willingness to toss overboard peace of
mind, even lives, in order to ensure the safety of a
voyage to the greater future good.
Finally Scaper agreed to drive her over to Glover's
Lane so that she could talk with the Strummers herself.
The couple heard her arguments politely, but they
would not listen to reason. They apologized for their
refusal, they asked forgiveness for the trouble they must
be causing, then repeated mildly that they could not help
how they felt.
Otto Scaper changed the subject. He cradled
Peggy Strummer under his huge arm and asked about
Joy's little golden spaniel. But the girl's father in his soft,
dead voice said that Joy's spaniel's heart, like that of his
mistress, had stopped. The Strummers, feeling guilty
that they had denied the doctors their daughter, allowed
them to dig up her dog to hand over to science.
