"Skipped...?" He hadn't heard that yet. Never mind. Thinking too much made his head hurt. He thought of going to the Wards. But they would be asleep by this time, since they rose early. And he wasn't sure he wanted Alice to know about any of this anyway. "Could you... help me to a doctor's..." He felt his pockets for money and groaned when his hands went through the sliced fabric... No money meant no doctor until he could get to the post office to get money out of his account.
