Ruso gets a place for the slave girl whose arm he has mended. Financial troubles grow. Letter from his brother asking permission to sell the farm. Ruso says no, not yet. Ruso hopeful of becoming Chief Medical Officer--increase in pay. Continues to live with Valens, another Medicus, who is well-meaning but a slob. Ruso is being harassed by hospital administration which wants to control so much of the day to day expenses that Ruso feels they are impinging on his medicine. Moving along nicely.
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
