of a woman's courage One more step toward independence for Ruth Wayne. Dr. Marlowe had offered and she accepted a job at the Health Center. It was seeing her through a bad time. Wallace, a deeply disturbed, morose young man who was refusing to communicate with any members of the staff of Green Acres. Dr. Seabrook had to call upon all his inner strength, tact and wisdom in dealing with this problem. He'd warned John not to interest himself in young Stephen's case — not just for Stephen's sake, but for the sake of John's own mental health, which was so precarious. But now Dr. Seabrook was proving to John that by concentrating on the young man's problems, he was actually evading solving his own. Perhaps John might now be persuaded to help in curing himself, Ruth thought. . . . Richard, too, was a problem. He didn't like boarding school, didn't like the idea of his roots being torn away from home, but Ruth could only hope that time would heal his wounds and help him get used to his new way of life, his new school situation. Ruth finished sealing the last envelope. As she got up from the desk and moved around the living room, straightening the magazines on the table, emptying the ash tray where she'd had her after-dinner cigarette, she thought about the emptiness of her life. During the days, now, it wasn't so bad because she had her job at the Health Center, working with Doctor Robert Marlowe, which gave her a chance to keep occupied. Nighttime was the worst for it was in these hours between dinner and bedtime that all her problems had to be faced and, whenever possible, solved. Loneliness is hard for a woman, Ruth thought, but it's not the worst thing that can happen — with courage and determination, perhaps tomorrow might be a better day. Dr. Seabrook at the Sanitarium warns John Wayne he is only refusing to solve his own mental problems by concerning himself with others. John must change! John Wayne resents Ruth's working, resents her indedependence, and she tries to comfort him by telling him all problems can be solved by courage — and time. 47
