"I didn't think so. May I ask if your ward was involved?"
Ian laughed. "Are you already planning your report to my brother, Dr. McKinley?"
"I ask simply for my own edification, I assure you. You are quite the most interesting patient I've ever had, Mr Sinclair. I like to keep abreast of your adventures. I should imagine, however, that so would your brother. Have you sent him word about this one?"
"No," Ian said, looking down at the neat bandage the physician had just finished tying around his arm.
"And you don't intend to, I take it."
"No," Ian said, raising his eyes to the doctor's again. The direct hazel stare left McKinley in no doubt about his feelings on that point.
