"I've been out to the Meeches' all afternoon," said the doctor, wearily, mopping his face with a red-bordered handkerchief. "Is Martha worse?" asked Sandy, in quick alarm. "No, she's better," said the doctor, gruffly; "she died at four o'clock."
It'll be the death of me," says the professor, mopping his brow. "What" wrathfully "that determined spendthrift meant, by flinging his family on my shoulders, I Oh! Poor old Wynter!" Here he grows remorseful again.
