MR DER HUIZMA, leaving the hospital in the early morning after operating on a small baby with intussusception, met Casualty Sister in the foyer, also on her way home. He paused to wish her good morning, for they had known each other for some years, and enquired after her night.

‘Busy—as busy as you, sir. By the way, the English girl is back…’

He paused in his stride. ‘She was to return to England last night. What has happened to her?’

‘Mugged. She was brought in about five o’clock. Concussion. No identification, of course—they took everything. They traced her name from the admissions book and notified the hotel. The proprietor couldn’t give much information, only that she had paid her bill and intended to leave for England that evening.’
