Grateful for what had been accomplished in Massachusetts, Miss Dix turned to Rhode Island, whose borders she had often approached and sometimes crossed in her investigations in the adjoining state.
And now, here in the vicinity, Ailsa's delicate nostrils shrank from the stench arising from the "Four Camps"; and she saw the emaciated forms lining the hillside, and she heard the horrible and continuous coughing. "Do you know," she said to Letty the next morning, "I am going to write to Miss Dix and inform her of conditions in that camp."
Solomon Black has, unless she turns in her egg-money, and if she does I don't see how she is going to feed the minister. Where is Phoebe Black?" "She is awfully late," said Lois. She looked at the door, and, so doing, got a chance to observe the minister, who was standing beside the flower-table talking to Ellen Dix. Fanny Dodge was busily arranging some flowers, with her face averted.
It came up behind the mate one evening just as he left the ship and walked beside him in silence. "Halloa," said the mate, at last. "Halloa," said Mr. Heard. "Going to see Emma?" "I'm going to see Miss Smith," said the mate. Mr. Heard laughed; a forced, mirthless laugh. "And we don't want you following us about," said Mr. Dix, sharply.
"Good heavens, mother, they're married!" cried Zora, staring at a telegram she had just received. Mrs. Oldrieve woke with a start from her after-luncheon nap. "Who, dear?" "Why, Emmy and Septimus Dix. Read it." Mrs.

And he held up ten fingers by way of illustration.
Thayer came, in great tribulation, to know how I ever could have done so foolish and useless a thing as report that case to Miss Dix! Oh dear! Oh dear! It was so unwise! Miss Dix had gone to the fort on Monday, taken the surgeon to task about that bed, gave me as her authority, and for me Mrs. Thayer was responsible, and would be excluded from that fort on account of my indiscretion.
Poor Dix had all he could do to drag the Teddy bear, but he would not let go, and the noise made by the auto made it impossible for those in the car to hear his barks, which he must have given. And so they rode on, paying no attention, but leaving Dix far behind, until Sue discovered the loss of her Teddy bear.
The vastness of this campaign which Miss Dix planned deliberately and which she carried through until she had visited every state east of the Rocky Mountains, gives evidence to her extraordinary character. During the Civil War, she was superintendent of hospital nurses, having the entire control of their appointment and assignment. But the care of the insane was her life work.
It was Black, an old Jacksonian, who in the moment of peril held the nerveless hands of the President firm to the tiller. It was Dix, another such, who sent to New Orleans the very Jacksonian order: "If any man attempts to haul down the American flag, shoot him at sight." War is always the result of a conflict of wills.
