I have no place for Madeline tonight. Do you have any more friends who might be sympathetic? An attic? A basement? Dr. Raoul Chevain:

It's not a limp. It's a wooden leg. Dr. Raoul Chevain:
Oh. I thought maybe you... you hurt it on your way into France, in parachute landing. How did it happen? Do you mind? Virginia Hall:
I guess the question is Do you mind? We're eating. Dr. Raoul Chevain:
I'm a physician. Strong stomach. Virginia Hall:
My family summer home is on a farm. I love to hunt, and went out with some friends to hunt birds. I'd even brought my father's favorite shotgun, barrel pointing down as I was taught to do. There was a wobbly fence. Gangrene was setting in and a decision had to be made. I was unconscious, so the doctor made it for me. Dr. Raoul Chevain:
[in French]
I'm so sorry. [in English] Dr. Raoul Chevain:
That's devastating. Virginia Hall:
First, I thought maybe I'd get my leg back somehow, but we all know miracles don't happen. Dr. Raoul Chevain:
You may talk and I may listen and miracles might happen. Virginia Hall:
