Then M. Marambot, in a dying voice, gave him the practical piece of advice: "Wash the wounds in a dilute solution of carbolic acid!" Denis answered: "This is what I am doing, monsieur." M. Marambot opened both his eyes. There was no sign of blood either on the bed, on the walls, or on the murderer. The wounded man was stretched out on clean white sheets. The two men looked at each other.
He tried to think of cricket, of green fields and rippling water, of his sisters at home of anything rather than of what was going on so near him. And yet somehow, even with his ears stopped up, sounds seemed to penetrate to him and to carry their own tale. He heard, or thought that he heard, the long hissing of the carbolic engine. Then he was conscious of some movement among the dressers.
Isabella, whom she had thought unconscious, had risen and tottered to the kitchen. There the maid, rushing on from the empty dining-room, had found her beside the sink with a bottle of carbolic acid upraised, ready to pour down her throat. Delia had struck it from her hand barely in time to save her from all but a chance burn upon her cheek.
From the door beside which the garbage cans were ranged came a thick odor of carbolic.
For staining Bacillus tuberculosis the following is confidently commended as preferable to the materials and methods heretofore in use. Take glycerine, 20 parts; fuchsin, 3 parts; aniline oil, 2 parts; carbolic acid, 2 parts. The solution is readily and speedily effected, with no danger of precipitation, and can be kept in stock without risk of deterioration.
After making the necessary inquiry the jailer informed him that she was in the hospital. Nekhludoff went there. A kindly old man, the hospital doorkeeper, let him in at once and, after asking Nekhludoff whom he wanted, directed him to the children's ward. A young doctor saturated with carbolic acid met Nekhludoff in the passage and asked him severely what he wanted.
And with a violent movement, he opened the glazed door, when the smell of carbolic acid seemed almost to strike him in the face, but what he saw, made him recoil still more, for on a small iron bedstead, lay the dead body of a woman fantastically illuminated by a single wax candle, and in horror he turned to make his escape.
"All boiled and sterilized, milked by electricity, manicured by steam and dehorned by absent treatment, sir, she said sir, she said." "May I go with you into your highly sanitary barnyard, my pretty maid?" he asked seriously. "Not unless you take a bath in carbolic solution, are vaccinated twice, and wear a surgeon's uniform, sir, she said." "But, I'm going to marry you, my pretty maid."
"Yes, I know," Julia said vaguely. "Well, wake up!" said Connie briskly. "Do you want it?" "I'd rather wait until Mama gets here," the younger girl decided uncomfortably. And that afternoon, in vague hope of news of her mother, she took a Mission Street car and went out to call on her grandmother. As usual, old Mrs. Cox's cheap little house reeked of soapsuds and carbolic acid.
"How do you do, Mr Samways?" said the Duchess. "G good-afternoon," said Paul, embarrassed both by the presence of a duchess in his studio and by his sudden discovery that he was touching up a sunset with a tube of carbolic tooth-paste. "Our mutual friend, Lord Ernest Topwood, recommended me to come to you."
