What did the room look like when Andrew had finished? |
|
Answer» The room was a mess post the resuscitation of the baby. As Andrew handed the child to the nurse, he felt weak and dazed and around him the room lay in a shuddering litter. Blankets, towels, basins, soiled instruments, hypodermic syringe impaled by its point in the linoleum, the ewer knocked over, the kettle on its side in a puddle of water. The mother was still under the influence of anaesthesia on the huddled bed while the old woman still stood against the wall. Her hands were joined in together and her lips moved inaudibly in prayer.
