I would like to cast my vote for the third call being the same wrong
number or some other unrelated business. Nabokov wasn't needlessly cruel
to his creations, and if the third ring _was_ the hospital that would be
too relentlessly hard. But then, as everyone else has noted, the best
part of the story is the uncertainty. But in my little reader-response
world, the call is not The Call.
