After editing 90 pages between 9am and 4.30pm yesterday, I sent off Dr in New Guinea. The last chapter was a cliff-hanger. Because Nicholas was allergic to the anti-malarial tablets Maren was taking and his own had been stolen, she had to use petrol, lemons and bicarbonate of soda to extract raw quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree. After pouring a teaspoonful down his throat while he shivered and shook with fever, she made a nightmare 12-hour drive down the mountain to get him to the hospital. It was touch and go. But she did it. She was exhausted. I was a limp rag!
