>Since Monica had arrived at Shiwa the previous year, she had been doing a valiant job [**of convincing the natives to use the new hospital**], already making a reputation for herself by saving some lives and effecting cures that villagers thought were miraculous, like the case of the woman who had complained that her husband kept waking up in the night thinking she was a lion because she snored so heavily. >Monica had easily solved that one by removing the polyps in the woman’s nose. ________________________ **Source:** Lamb, Christina. “Part Two: 1927-1967, Chapter 15.” *The Africa House: The True Story of An English Gentleman and His African Dream*.
