By Abraham Verghese

Chapter 12: Land's End

The next day, Matron goes back to work, running the hospital.
The emperor's minister calls Matron to give his sympathy for Missing's loss. He also mentions that if a wounded military officer were to come to Missing, he would like to know personally.
The phone rings again, this time a funder from the Texan, Eli Harris, saying he'd like to drop in as he's passing through town. Wut?
Matron decides to bury Sister Mary Joseph Praise in the backyard of the hospital.
