Adventure; reminiscence of 25 years before. A doctor in a working-class suburb is called by an urgent woman to a sickbed. He is driven mysteriously veiled to a house some distance away and ordered to extract a bullet from a beautiful woman's chest - at pistol-point. He is surrounded by a circle of figures in male dress. He does so, quietly kisses the woman and keeps the secret even when a gang of female thieves is broken up and three of them tried in court. A continental noblewoman is their reputed leader. Style competent; subject interesting. They selected the doctor through his publications in a newspaper. (PB)
