Excerpt from In a Car of GoldThe door opened and the doctor entered the room where Ruth lay upon her bed suffering great pain caused by a thorn in her foot.Having made a careful examination of the wound, the doctor announced that, with the aid of a morphine injection, the operation of removing the thorn would be almost painless.Although Ruth had a dread of sleep-producing drugs, when brought face to face with this painful operation, she was scarcely willing to accept the assistance that the drug offered. But the word of her mother should decide."Mamma, must I be put to sleep with morphine?" The girl turned her pleading eyes to her mother's calm face."My child, " replied the mother, caressing the wounded foot, "the morphine will be a merciful friend to you, also, it will be a great help to us, for you must be kept quiet while the operation lasts."Ruth was a submissive child, prompt and ever ready to do her mother's will.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
