We are in a world of trouble at the manor-house! Little Ardea, my grand-daughteh, was taken sick last night, and to-day she's out of huh head think of it, out of huh head! I'm riding hotfoot for Doctah Williams, but Lord of Heaven! it'll be nigh sundown befo' I can hope to get back with him. Could you, my deah madam, faveh us " Thomas Jefferson heard no more; would stay to hear no more.
"Uh-ah, Doctah Gregg li'l late this mawnin', eh?" "Yessah, seems like," said the driver, his head again falling. In perhaps five or ten minutes, perhaps half an hour, there would be heard the tapping of another cane, and Dr. Gregg, also tall, not quite so portly, and wearing a white beaver instead of a soft Panama, would appear from the opening of yet another side street tributary to the car.
Was this but one more of those thousand voices, harsh and gentle, rough and tender, to which I had listened in vain this age past? The black face was hovering over me now, and in an agony of apprehension I reached up and felt its honest roughness. Then I could have wept for joy. "Mammy Lucy!" "Yes, Marse Dick?" "Where where is Miss Dolly?" "Now, Marse Dick, doctah done say you not t' talk, suh."
Uncle Matt found some of his breath, though not enough to steady his voice. But his strenuousness was almost passionate. "Doctah Williams Atkinson," he said, "I ain't beggin', Doctah Atkinson, sah; on'y axin' if I might speak a few words to you, sah!" His shrewd insistance on the name was effective. The elderly gentleman turned and looked at him in surprised questioning.

But a sort of hysteric courage grew out of his desperation. "Doctah Williams Atkinson, sah!" he said. "May I take de liberty of walking jes' behin' you an' axin' you a question. I mustn't keep you standin'. I beg you to 'scuse me, sah. I kin talk an' walk at de same time." Dr. Williams Atkinson was an amenable person, and Matt's imploring old darky countenance was not without its pathos.
I know jus' what she lak mos' suh," Bo Peep said to Jim, who had not moved nor spoken. "I'se Misteh Bone-ah-gees Peepehville, an' I done live with Doctah Carey's family all mah life, suh, 'cept a short time I spent in the Jacobs House at Carey's Crossing. I'se his custodian now, suh, and I know a few things about the cookin' depahtment, suh." He looked the part, and Jim accepted him gladly.
I dunno 'ow 'tis, Doctah," he continued, preparing to go out, "I dunno 'ow 'tis, but I thing, you goin' to fine that Mistoo Itchlin ad the en'. I dunno 'ow 'tis. Well, I'm goin' ad the" The Doctor looked up fiercely. "Bank," said Narcisse, getting near the door. "All right!" grumbled the Doctor, more politely. "Yesseh befo' I go ad the poss-office."
But she'll get over it. It takes a vast deal of grief to kill." "P'raps Marse Ed'ard ain't gwine ter die," said the old nurse, checking her sobs. "Dey does say Doctah Arthur kin 'most raise de dead." "Well, I'm sure I hope Mr. Travilla won't die," responded Miss Deane, "or prove to be permanently injured in any way.
The mettlesome little doctor felt the odds against him in the exchange of greetings. "Ola, Dawctah!" "Hé, Doctah, que-ce qui t'après fé?" "Ho, ho, compère Noyo!" "Comment va, Docta?" A light peppering of profanity accompanied each salute.
