one o'clock before
`` The doctor said he would give you treatment and massage , so that you could get out more quickly , '' she responded . `` I 'll bring breakfast and then call him . '' Kennedy , feeling much refreshed , but too sore and stiff to move without suffering , was awakened for breakfast , and he and Swanson discussed the situation in low tones as they ate . It was past one o'clock before Swanson commenced to worry about the failure of the doctor to come . After fuming and fretting for more than half an hour he rang for the nurse and sent her in quest of Dr. Anderson . She returned soon and reported that he had been summoned suddenly to assist in performing an important operation , but that he probably would return soon . Not until two o'clock had passed did Swanson commence to become seriously disturbed at the failure of the doctor to appear .
