It likewise puzzled young Dr. Stedman, who hid an intense dedication under a cloak of carefree flirtatiousness. Only Dr. Carl Compton, who was Marjory's immediate superior and who was known as the "Computor" because of his rigid attitude toward patient and staff alike, seemed to be unaware that his nurse was different from any other girl in white.
