Short and easy Sumarry of chapter birth by a.j cronin

Answer» Andrew Manson had just completed his study of medicine. He began his medical practice as an assistant to Dr. Edward Page in a small town of Blaenelly. He loved a girl Christine but his experience was disappointing. It was nearly midnight when he reached Bryngower. He found Joe Morgan waiting for him. Joe had been married for nearly twenty years. And now his wife was expecting her first child. Joe had been waiting there for an hour. The labor pains had begun before time. Andrew went into the house for his bag. Together they set out for Number 12, Blaina Terrace. The Doctor had never imagined that night would influence his whole future in that town. Joe drew up short. He refused to enter the door. Inside a narrow stair led up to a small bedroom, lit only by an oil lamp. Besides the patient, there was two other women-the tall woman of nearly seventy was Joe\'s mother-in-law. The other stout and elderly woman was a midwife. Joe\'s mother offered to make a cup of tea for the doctor. She was wise in experience. She realized that the delivery might take some time. She was afraid that the doctor would leave the case, saying that he would return later. Andrew assured her that he won\'t run away. He drank the tea down in the kitchen. He was tense. He knew that the case would demand all his attention. He made up his mind to remain there until everything was over. Andrew went upstairs an hour later, noted the progress made and came down to the kitchen once more. Only the wall clock was making a dull soft sound. Joe Morgan was pacing in the street outside. He was thinking of cases where marriages were dismal failures. He stretched out his legs thoughtfully. The old lady wanted to know if giving chloroform to the expectant mother could be harmful. Andrew assured her that the anesthetic won\'t do any harm.
