"Where did Sol go?" asked Doc when he entered the room.
"He just up and left, Doctor," the nurse answered, "he checked himself out." That's when Doc got the report of the Sabre leaving nearby.
Heading out the front door and standing before it looking skyward, he sighed with tight lips, "I'm sorry, Sol, I did my best."
He went back into his office and looked at the metal box that contained much of his work that he had done with cardamine. He looked at it and then skyward again before looking at the box.
"A miserable failure," he said as he grew angry, "All that work and false hope for nothing." He threw the box against the wall, all of the contents opening and breaking on the ground. Distraught, Doc sat in his office before finally returning home.
