〃For Christ's sweet sake take me to some room。〃 The pain had gone on and on with the legs bent and I could feel it going in and out of the bone。 The porter went in the door； followed by the grayhaired woman； then came hurrying back。 〃Follow me；〃 he said。 They carried me down a long hallway and into a room with drawn blinds。 It smelled of new furniture。 There was a bed and a big wardrobe with a mirror。 They laid me down on the bed。
〃I can't put on sheets；〃 the woman said。 〃The sheets are locked up。〃
I did not speak to her。 〃There is money in my pocket；〃 I said to the porter。 〃In the buttoned…down pocket。〃 The porter took out the money。 The two stretcher…bearers stood beside the bed holding their caps。 〃Give them five lire apiece and five lire for yourself。 My papers are in the other pocket。 You may give them to the nurse。〃
The stretcher…bearers saluted and said thank you。 〃Good…by；〃 I said。 〃And many thanks。〃 They saluted again and went out。
〃Those papers；〃 I said to the nurse； 〃describe my case and the treatment already given。〃
The woman picked them up and looked at them through her glasses。 There were three papers and they were folded。 〃I don't know what to do；〃 she said。 〃I can't read Italian。 I can't do anything without the doctor's orders。〃 She menced to cry and put the papers in her apron pocket。 〃Are you an American？〃 she asked crying。
〃Yes。 Please put the papers on the table by the bed。〃
