Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Jumping-Off Place There were a great many reasons why something had to be done with her. "You´ve simply got to take a better hold on life!" her physician fairly stormed at her. "You can´t allow yourself to be the victim of every shadow that comes within miles of you, and then expect me to be responsible for your health. It is asking too much of any doctor. Everybody has to deal with the tragedies of existence - everybody´s sense of humour runs down now and then. But one would suppose you had a monopoly on trouble!" The "case" sank quietly into the chair beside the doctor´s desk. She did not volunteer any comment upon the half-severe, half-indulgent lecture that was being hurled at her. Its truth was the doctor´s last resort. Medicine would do nothing. Hers was a case of nerves, resulting from the fact that life had put too much stress on a frail constitution. The "case" herself was serious and young, with pathetic brown eyes and a sort of droopy attitude, both physically and mentally. She took no interest in herself, little interest in her physician, and no interest at all in life in general. "Say something, will you?"
