"Have you had any diphtheria in your neighborhood?" "Well, yes; the caretaker of our flats down on the first floor of the next house lost a child last week by a belief in dip'thery. The neighbor acrost the street thought Tommy might have got it, but we didn't believe it. But it made mother kind of uneasy, and she wanted to see you or a doctor to-night.
I've had four horses down with the 'zooty, and two men laid up with dip'thery. The Big Gray Cully's drivin' over there the one that's a-hoistin' ain't fit to be out of the stables. If ye weren't behind in the work, he'd have two blankets on him this minute. But I'm here meself now, and I'll have her out to-night if I work till daylight. Here, cap'n, pull yerself together. This is the boss."
For my part, I knew that it was the talk of the infant-class teacher that was at the bottom of it, dip'thery or not. Sin oughtn't to be mentioned to a child. It's likely to break out into a belief about sickness." Phillida's spirits suddenly sank to zero. Alarm at the responsibility she had taken got the better of her faith by surprise, and she said: "Mr. Martin, get a doctor.
Martin, who was walking by her side in silence and with a measured stride that would have been very becoming to an undertaker, but with which Phillida found it quite impossible to keep step. "I didn't see the rest of the children, Mr. Martin; where are they?" she asked. "Well, a neighbor acrost the street come over to-day and took 'em away. She didn't know but it might be dip'thery."
