For what seemed a very long time he was fitfully trying to decide when he slowly made out that brawny Frau Bucher stood over him. She was in the act of giving him a potion for a raging fever.

The little woman with the crimped hair colored very painfully. Mrs. Maxwell made frequent errands into the room, and her daughter's wedding had to be discussed guardedly.
