"My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital.

I make gruel--not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses."

-- Clara Barton

Cath pulled it down self-consciously. â€œCath!â€ her dad shouted from downstairs. â€œPhone.â€ Cath picked up her cell phone and looked at it â€œHe must mean the house phone,â€ Wren said. â€œWho calls the house phone?â€ â€œProbably 2005. I think it wants its shirt back.”
