ABSTRACT
What murry had resolved to do, he did: the very whole of him was cast into the struggle for Violet’s life. Ever since 1918, he had been reproaching himself for not sending Katherine to a sanatorium. This time there were to be no hesitations, no half-measures. He spoke to his child-wife seriously; tried to make her see that consumption was a deadly enemy, to be fought by every means at their command; assured her that if only they fought together they could, and would, prevail. In words, at least, she concurred. Then, on May 14, 1927 – as soon as she was strong enough to be moved – he placed her in the Edward VII Hospital at Midhurst.
