BREAKING POINT
She heard nures Caroline saying :
"Take a deep breath dear... Nice and deep. That's right. Go on. You will feel ever so much better in a minute"
Penny sniffed hard, desperately hard... In, in, in, sucking in the anesthetic as though her very life depended on it.
'Quickly, quickly. Let it put me out... Quickly so that this pain can't get any worse. Oh, God, let me lose consciousness... Quickly, quickly'
"More, more, more....." she heard her own voice saying as from a great distance... Like a banshee, wailing.
