Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Within Convalescence: Thoughts During Convalescence
I was laid on a bed, and then, indeed, when the first shock of the accident and the excitement of the whole thing was over, and I was lying still and quiet, my sufferings became every moment more acute There was no good surgeon in the place, and it was necessary to telephone for one from a distant town. Three terrible hours I had to wait in suspense for his arrival. The pain in my leg and foot increased, and increased. Each time a motor-car drove up to the hotel my wife dashed to the window to see if it was the surgeon. But time after time we were disappointed. And the intervals between the quarter - hour chimes of a neighbouring church clock seemed interminably long.
