With one foot on the steps, the doctor paused to give a parting direction about chicken-broth and white-wine whey.
As if some profound and dead-sure instinct had sustained her, she waited, sickening. And on the last night of the third week she fainted. She had dragged herself upstairs to bed, staggered across the little landing and fallen on the threshold of her room. They kept her in bed next day. At one o'clock she refused her chicken-broth. She would neither eat nor drink.
"Never in the course of my life," he exclaimed, "have I witnessed such a scene of indignity and inefficiency as this measure holds forth to the world. What is it? A milk-and-water bill! A dose of chicken-broth to be taken nine months hence!... It is too contemptible to be the object of consideration, or to excite the feelings of the pettiest state in Europe."
At ten o'clock, in accordance with custom, when he began to work early, the maid came to his door with a cup of chicken-broth. She knocked. There was no reply. She knocked louder. She called her mistress. Doria hammered . . . she shrieked. You know how swiftly terror grips a woman. She sent for the porter. Between them they raised a din to awaken well all but the dead.
When the chicken-broth was ready, she partook daintily; but before she ended had made a very good meal, including a wing and a bit of the breast; after which she fell asleep. "There seems little chance of the weather clearing," said Mr. Cromwell in a whisper, as I approached the window where he once more stood. "You must make up your mind to remain here for the night," I said.
She brought me some enchanting jelly one of her magical preparations for the amelioration of human misery, and I am to have a bowl of her unparalleled chicken-broth for dinner. I wish dinner-time were come! the very thought makes me ravenous. I am to do nothing for a week, but eat, drink, and sleep, at the end of which period I shall be dismissed as thoroughly cured. So, Mr.
"Hold your tongue, Tummus, and don't talk so much nonsense," said his wife. "Nay, I arn't going to be choked. I s'pose Mrs Mostyn sends you jellies and chicken-broth, and the like?" "Yes, every one is very kind," said Grange. "But look here, have you seen to the mushroom bed?" "Aye." "And those cuttings in the frames?" "You mak' haste and get well, Master John, and don't you worry about nowt.
A smart fire is better than a slow one; but they must be tended closely. Chickens should boil about an hour. If old, they should boil longer. In as little water as will cook them. Chicken-broth made like mutton-broth. After this is all prepared, the chicken must be stewed in it, for half an hour, closely covered.
He is drawing his breath so deep and quick, that I cannot but wonder whether he will live through the night. So far he has taken nothing to-day except some chicken-broth. I have sent for Sebastian <Munster, the Hebraist>. If he comes, I will have him introduced into the room, but without the Master's knowledge, in order that he may hear what I have heard.
But instead of nice strengthening chicken-broth, flavoured with succory and marigolds; or water-gruel, mixed with rosemary and winter-savory; or a panado, seasoned with verjuice or wood-sorrel; instead of swallowing large draughts of warm beer; or water boiled with carduus seeds; or a posset drink, made with sorrel, bugloss, and borage; instead of these remedies, or any other, I was carried to this horrible place when I was asleep, and strapped to my pallet, as you perceive.
