While attending the mother, Dr. Monica learns of its parentage from Mary Hathaway's hysterical efforts to telephone the father. For a moment, Dr. Monica proposes to disregard the Hippocratic Oath. The arguments of another friend, present as a spectator, induce her to finish the delivery. Small illegitimate Hathaway...
...feel like a father expecting his firstborn. I awaited a big, healthy, bouncing child, and find a small, puny, anemic, undernourished, undersized baby. I love the little brat, but I am disappointed...
