"I hope there is a doctor on the train," said Uncle Tom. "Yassah," answered the black porter, who had been listening with evident relish, "right good doctah Doctah Lov'ring." Even Aunt Mary laughed. "Peter," asked Honora, "can't you get Judge Brice to send you on to New York this winter on law business? Then you could come up to Sutcliffe to see me." "I'm afraid of Miss Turner," declared Peter.
He rushed to him, and flung his arms around him. "You little devil," he cried, "you rode like you were kin to that hoss! We've won! We've won!" And he began sticking banknotes at the boy. At first Patsy's eyes bulged, and then he seized the money and got into his clothes. "Goin' out to spend it?" asked Brackett. "I'm goin' for a doctah fu' my mother," said Patsy, "she's sick."
So obvious, indeed, was this, that when she gently pressed the young husband an inch or two aside, and murmured that "de doctah" wanted him to "go h-out," he left the room, although he knew the physician had not so indicated. By-and-by he returned, but only at her beckon, and remained at the bedside while Madame Zénobie led the Doctor into another room to write his prescription.
Look at him a-layin' dere!" "Him no dead!" rumbled Koku, leaning over his master. "Him heart still beatum. Him need fresh air." Gently he picked Tom up and carried him outside. "I'll git a doctah!" exclaimed the old colored man. "Dey's a phone in heah."

But he had; and the annoyance had not ceased to be felt when, a few mornings afterward, Narcisse suddenly doubled trebled it by saying: "Doctah Seveeah," it was a cold day and the young Creole stood a moment with his back to the office fire, to which he had just given an energetic and prolonged poking, "a man was yeh, to see you, name' Bison. 'F want' to see you about Mistoo Itchlin."
"Doctah Seveeah," said Narcisse, suddenly, as he finished sticking with great fervor the postage-stamps on some letters the Doctor had written, and having studied with much care the phraseology of what he had to say, and screwed up his courage to the pitch of utterance, "I saw yo' notiz on the noozpapeh this mornin'."
"I hope there is a doctor on the train," said Uncle Tom. "Yassah," answered the black porter, who had been listening with evident relish, "right good doctah Doctah Lov'ring." Even Aunt Mary laughed. "Peter," asked Honora, "can't you get Judge Brice to send you on to New York this winter on law business? Then you could come up to Sutcliffe to see me." "I'm afraid of Miss Turner," declared Peter.
He was so far out of breath when he reached the stranger's side that he could scarcely make himself heard, as, pulling his hat off, he cried, agitatedly: "Doctah! Doctah Atkinson, sah! Doctah Williams Atkinson!" The stranger did not hear him distinctly, and waved him off, evidently taking him for a beggar. "I've nothing for you, uncle," he said, with condescending good-nature.

He would tell me of it afterwards, chuckling softly to himself. 'An, Doctah, I say to Mistah Hemp Stevens, "'Scuse us, Mistah Stevens, but Miss Annie, she des gone out," an' den he go outer de gate lookin' moughty lonesome.
He was so evidently racked by his emotions. "What is it all about?" he enquired. Matt stood uncovered and spoke fast. The hand holding his hat was shaking, as also was his voice. "I'm nothin' but a ole niggah man, Doctah Atkinson, sah," he said. "It ain't for myself I'se intrudin' on ye; it's cos dar wasn't time to go fer Marse De Willoughby that could talk it like it oughter be.
