Inference
(1) Slipping from my weary horse, I tied her to the rail and hurried up the walk toward the doctor's bell. (2) I remembered just where the knob rested. (3) Twice I pulled sharply, strongly, putting into it some part of the anxiety and impatience I felt. (4) I could hear its imperative° jingle as it died away in the silent house.

(5) At last the door opened and the doctor, a big blond handsome man in a long nightgown, confronted me with an impassive° face. (6) "What is it, my boy?" he asked kindly. (7) As I told him he looked down at my water-soaked form and wild-eyed countenance° with gentle patience. (8) Then he peered out over my head into the dismal night. (9) He was a man of resolution°, but he hesitated for a moment. (10) "Your father is suffering sharply, is he?"

(11) "Yes, sir. I could hear him groan. (12) Please hurry."

(13) He mused° a moment. (14) "He is a soldier. (15) He would not complain of a little thing—I will come."

A4. We can infer from the passage that the doctor

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
