- Summary
- St. Benedict's Hospital - a world in itself. A world of drama and stern reality. Row after row of white beds. White-clad nurses going the rounds. Among them pretty, warm-hearted Anne Seaton, easing sufferers, adjusting beds, managing to smile and look confident even when her heart aches with pity.... Anne is in love with Peter Rainer, taciturn young surgeon, whose life is dedicated to his career. She asks for nothing more than to be near him, to work by his side, to merit his rare smile of approval. When he proposes marriage, her happiness seems complete. Then into the Casualty Ward comes handsome, devil-may-care Nicholas Menzies, playwright and actor, sweeping Anne off her feetOpening up new vistas for her, and making her own little world seem a prison. Capturing her imagination by his sheer charm and worldliness. Drawing her ever nearer to him by his shortcomings. Leaving no emotion in her heart for Peter, save pity - pity for his perfection. Making her doubt her own judgement and impelling her to ask: "How does one know when it's love?" Here against a background teeming with human interest, Dorothy Quentin tells the story of a girl who tries to measure roamnce in terms of common sense; a girl who disovers that while emotion and reason may be strangers to each other, love and forbearance are inseparable -- frontispiece recto.
