"There," she said hesitantly when his coughing had finished. "Is that better?" She looked at the surgeon. "Do you want me to keep talking?"

Montreuil hesitated, glancing down at Kerjean's darting, almost unseeing eyes and his hand which had begun fumbling spasmodically with the blankets. It wasn't necessary; the laudanum would overpower him before long. It was not necessary for her to keep speaking; it was not necessary for her to remain in the room. He frowned. Then, instead of saying that, he told her, "See if you can calm him. The laudanum will take hold sooner if he stops fighting it."

***

In the hallway, a pair of bright, black eyes peered furtively around the doorpost, regarding the unfolding scene with a mixture of curiosity and suspicion.

She nodded and spoke to him again, reaching out to take his restless hand. "Oh, poor thing, your hand is so hot! But the surgeon - Señor Montrey - or Monsur Montrey - has given you some good medicine to make you feel better and to sleep. Oh!" She started as she noticed the small dark head in the doorway. "Martita, you should not be up here. Paolo is sick and there are French soldiers all over the house."

As one of the soldiers in question, Foucheaux roused himself from his accidental doze in the chair. He really ought to go back to bed. Montreuil had everything under control here. Then he noticed the little girl. And Manuela was looking at him. "Huh?"

Sometimes he thought he could see her, but she slipped away so quickly. Other times he could only hear her voice, one moment close beside him, the next just the barest wisp of sound, far away in no particular direction. Sometimes he couldn't remember what he was looking for.

Then she took his hand and heavy, overwhelming relief wrapped round him like a blanket. He'd found her. Or she'd found him. And it didn't matter if he couldn't see or hear her now; he didn't need to to know she was there. And a hand was so much easier to hold onto than a thought. He closed his eyes, trying to hang on as if he was afraid she would be snatched away at any moment.

"I know," retorted Martita, conveniently ignoring Manuela's first remark. "Doña Pollonia said you had been run over. With wicked men," she added, looking significantly at the two Frenchmen. "What do they want?"

Manuela gave her a little smile. "They just need a place to sleep. Well, that one does," she clarified, nodding at the confused one in the chair who was rubbing his eyes. "I think he's Paolo's friend. And this one is a surgeon giving him medicine and things. He has a fever like your papa had."

Martita hesitated, regarding the two men warily, then she darted across the floor to wrap her arms around Manuela's legs. Clutching the older girl's skirts, she peeked around them, but Paolo was asleep, or seemed to be. He really did look sick. "When will he get better?" she whispered up at Manuela.

"I don't know," Manuela answered, wrapping her free arm around Martita's shoulders. She looked at the surgeon. "When will you know... I mean, when will you be able to tell? Martita's my neighbor. He's - Paol has been kind to her."

"He is going to carve me a giant rat," Martita offered helpfully, "With fangs!"

Of course he was, Montreuil thought bitterly, more annoyed that he rationally ought to have been. "I ought to have a clearer idea in a few days. Unless his fever continues to climb, or breaks, in which case we will know a good deal sooner."

Manuela nodded and then looked down at younger girl. "All right, Martita, you had better go home now. He needs to sleep, and your papa will wonder where you are."

"This is no place for children," the surgeon agreed, but this was apparently the wrong thing to say for Martita pulled away from Manuela, thrusting her small chin out defiantly. "I can help," she protested. "I helped when he was sick before. After the officer shouted at him. I found a rag and got it wet and put it in a bowl so it wouldn't drip on the floor. And I didn't spill any. Didn't I, Manuela?"

Montreuil had never know Leveque to shout; could she have meant Jarreau? But even he knew better than to shout at some one in Kerjean's condition. The surgeon's frown deepened. "What officer?" he asked the older girl.

"Oh. Do you mean Don Tibodo, Martita? There's an officer quartered at her house. Or two, aren't there? But Don Tibodo is the one who shouts."

"Yes, remember? The officer was very angry," she elaborated for the surgeon's benefit, "And him and Paolo were shouting at each other and the officer threw a pot and it smashed against the doorway. Bang!" She clapped her hands to her mouth suddenly and glanced nervously at Paolo, but he didn't stir. "It broke into a hundred million pieces," she continued in a whisper. "And then Paolo was very sick."

"That's right.  He was already starting to have his fever then.  But you need to go look after your papa.  There are lots of people here to look after Paolo. Besides, he's sleeping now, see?" She tentatively slipped her hand out of his grip.

Montreuil raised one hand to pinch the bridge of his nose. Of all the stupid, idiotic things to do!

"Yes," Martita sulked, "But I can come back when he wakes up?"

"Um, yes, if he wakes up and is not feeling too bad, I'll come and tell you. All right?" Manuela looked anxiously at the surgeon and hoped that was a suitable answer. Martita would not have accept a negative response anyway. "Now run along home now."

If, indeed. But the answer seemed to satisfy the child after a fashion because when Montreuil looked up again from securing the splint on Kerjean's arm, she was gone. Good.

He glanced out the window and grimaced. "I need to get back to the hospital," he told the girl, "I will arrange for an attendant, but I should be grateful if you would stay here until he arrives."

"Oh. Of course I'll stay. But do you have to go?" What a silly question. Of course he had to go to the hospital. There were probably dozens, maybe hundreds of Frenchmen just like Paol who were sick or injured. Maybe Englishmen too, like Don Boothby.

"What?" Foucheaux asked, sensing that Montreuil was saying something important. "What's going on?"

"Get some sleep," he told Foucheaux gruffly, "I'll be back as soon as I can." The last statement he repeated in Spanish for the girl's benefit, gathering up his bag and checking over Kerjean one final time.

Foucheaux nodded, pushed himself up from his seat and stumbled to the door. "Wake me up if you - oh. Can you tell her to wake me up if she needs me." He made his way to Charcot's room, and Manuela took the chair that he had vacated.
