Student Nurse — Lucy Agnes Hancock

“You dear stubborn girl.”

That's what Dr. Alec Macauley thought of his beautiful young nurse, Gail Weston. Pleading his case with her aunt, he said:

“I love Gail, I want her to marry me, but -- “
“I'm sorry, Doctor,” the old lady murmured.
“ I have been wondering if there is someone else. If there is -- well, I suppose I shall still hope."

There is someone else in Gail Weston's heart: Peter Rand. Lighthearted, gay, apparently irresponsible, Peter seems almost callow alongside Dr. Macauley. But Gail is drawn to Peter in spite of herself. Though she feels she should respond more to Alex Macauley, she finds herself unstirred. Then crisis strikes. Both men are at hand. Gail learns their true worth and makes her choice in this fine, sensitive tale of the hardest decision a woman has to make.
