Two doctors who were sent by the Prefect to make a careful examination of the girl came, as all doctors would have done, to the honest opinion that it was a case of nervous trouble, of which the asthma was a sure sign, and which, in certain circumstances, might have induced visions. This nearly led to her removal and confinement in a hospital at Tarbes. But public exasperation was feared.
The reader of the "Anthology" will find for his reward an improving discourse on "Ambition," and a commendable schoolboy's "theme" on "Inebriation." He will learn something which may be for his advantage about the "Anjou Cabbage," and may profit by a "Remedy for Asthma."
I could not but thank the great man, with many blushes, and went home that night utterly "tete montee," as I believe the French phrase is beside myself with gratified vanity and love; to lie sleepless under a severe fit of asthma sent perhaps as a wholesome chastisement to cool my excited spirits down to something like a rational pitch.
