"She was walking with Muriel on King Street when four young men on crutches, all of them amputees, passed them. Amelia looked in a store window until they had moved down the block, then turned to watch them. A week later she told her mother, "I'm not going back to graduate. I'm needed here. I've been taking instructions all this past week and I'm going to be a V.A.D. [nurse's aide].""
