nine o'clock
Sister Giovanna was the supervising nurse for the week , and in the natural course of her duty it was she who went to the telephone when Doctor Pieri called up the hospital at seven o'clock . In a few words he explained the case as far as was necessary , and begged the Sister to have a good room ready for the patient ; he believed that Number Two was vacant . It was , and the wounded man could have it . The Doctor said he would bring him in a motor towards nine o'clock . ` The patient 's name , if you please , ' said Sister Giovanna in a businesslike tone . ` Captain Severi . I do not know his first name .
