〃You　mean　its　a　sleeping　pill？〃

〃No；　its…it　says　you　can　give　it　in　bination　with　paracin　trichloride　and　use　it　as　an　anesthetic。〃

〃I　dont　know。　Do　we　have　a　choice？〃

〃No；〃　Beth　said。　〃Weve　got　to　do　it。　Have　you　ever　given　an　injection　before？〃

〃Only　lab　animals。〃

〃Where　do　I　stick　it？〃

〃Do　it　in　the　shoulder；〃　Beth　said。　〃While　hes　asleep。〃　Norman　turned　the　syringe　up　to　the　light；　and　squirted　a　few　drops　from　the　needle　into　the　air。　〃Okay；〃　he　said。
