"I am afraid you are far from well," she said, "and have brought you a bottle of Doctor Dobell's tincture. If it is indigestion, you will find it a most excellent remedy."
Miss Dobell's gondolier was, on this present occasion, in an excellent temper; and meeting his daughter Joan, he felt very genial towards her. Joan had observed, several days before, that the family crisis might be said to be past, and very thankful she was. She had, at this time, her own happy dreams, so that father and daughter, moved by some genial impulse, stopped and kissed.
Finding, however, that the attitude was not conducive to explanation, he presently rose again, and picking up one of the school-books from the master's desk eyed it unskilfully upside down, and then said hesitatingly, "I reckon ye ain't usin' Dobell's 'Rithmetic here?" "No," said the master. "That's bad. 'Pears to be played out that Dobell feller. I was brought up on Dobell. And Parsings' Grammar?

They then separated, and Byron went on to Patras in the Morea, where he had business with the Consul. He dates from there at the close of July.
