John sighed, she knew him too well, and sat down on the chair at his desk opposite her, "Do you... not like Nurse Redfern?"

"I cannot stand her." Zara replied immediately.

John shook his head, always blunt was Zara, "Why?"

Zara laughed, "Have you not seen what the woman is like?" She asked. "She's rude, arrogant, and have you seen how she treats Martha? She walks round like she's better than everyone else and I can't stand it!"

"You sound like my mother."

"Your mother was a decent woman, John. And a fine nurse." She pointed out. "She'd be disgraced if she knew that a woman of the same profession was like that."
