Another luxury of Milliways; there's time and space enough to let patients
and families rest and grieve and worry in peace and in their own time,
instead of a line of people waiting for every bed and seat. Joly may never
stop being grateful for that.
So he lets the time be, and keeps himself quietly busy. He gets a blanket
for M. Fauchlevent from the supply cabinet, and recalibrates the monitors
for a man sleeping, instead of awake (and Joly's satisfied to see that the
readings are nearer to what they should be for a man sleeping; whatever's
agitating M. Fauchelevent seems to be a problem that will at least let him
have some rest, even if he needs help to find it.)
And then there's time to send a note with a rat for some hot tea, and
something stronger for Marius and his dear wife if they want it; and then
Joly has nothing to do but wait and study the patient's results and plan
the next steps of treatment, so he does that. They all have time enough.
