"Weel, ye're no ower young to need to be ta'en guid care o' are ye, Tibbie?" Tibbie grunted. "Weel, to come to the pint. There's nae doobt the hoose wants a hantle o' doctorin'." "'Deed does't," interposed Tibbie. "It'll want a new door. For forbye 'at the door's maist as wide as twa ordinar doors, it was ance in twa halves like a chop-door.
I should have been pleased to see Don 'Lonzo, and ask if he got benefit from those pills I left for him last time I called; what he wants is to doctor reg'lar, and keep straight on doctorin'. But I can call again; and I felt it a duty to let you know what's goin' on at your own yard-gate, I may say. Mis' Pegrum's house ain't but a stone's throw from yourn, is it?
I used to, when I fust begun, have considerable trouble fussin' with 'em and trying to make 'em hold out, doctorin' on 'em up when they's sick, and givin' on 'em clothes and blankets, and what not, tryin' to keep 'em all sort o' decent and comfortable. Law, 't wasn't no sort o' use; I lost money on 'em, and 't was heaps o' trouble. Now, you see, I just put 'em straight through, sick or well.
Here's the first one: Don't it seem to you that the right one to pay for the doctorin' and nursin' and such of Mr. Moriarty that's Annie's pa ought to be the feller who hurt him? That feller, instead of Caroline?" "Sure thing! If you know who did it, he's your mark." "He could be held responsible, couldn't he?" "Certainly." "Um-hm. So I thought.
"Miss Cricket couldn't find any sticking-plaster, so she brought this. Oh, she's her father's own child for the doctorin'." "I thought they might do," explained Cricket, rather shyly. "I knew I ought to have strips of plaster, of course, but I couldn't find any. I thought the cut ought to be drawn together as soon as possible." "You're a thoughtful child," said Mrs. Bemis, warmly.
I don't know nothin' much about doctorin' but I got sense enough to know that'll kill her and you shan't do it!" The doctor looked angrily at the father. "I say so, too," Tom replied. "She's too weak for that." With a snort of anger, the old man threw the lancet into his saddlebags, snapped them together and strode through the cabin door.
"I don't know what we're comin' to, these days." "There, there, Ma, I don't know why women shouldn't be doctors, if they want to. They make better nusses'n men. Mebbe mebbe Sis'll be gettin' married some day, an' I tell ye a little doctorin' know-how is mighty handy in a house. A doctor an' a lawyer, now, would be a gret team, right in the fambly, like. Well, Sis, we'll see; we'll see."
The Squire's mighty patient with that man, because his mother nursed the Squire when he was a baby. They're near of an age, but you wouldn't think it to look at Peter and the Captain; whisky does hurry up Old Time a lot." And so John got the town gossip. "I ain't no faith in doctorin' rheumatics; wouldn't have him now if I hadn't lost my old buck-eye. My rabbit-foot's turned grey this week.
"Ye may be very sure o' this, boy, yer never licked till ye think ye air an' if ye won't think it, ye can't be licked. It's just the same as being sick. I seen a lot o' doctorin' in my day, and I'm forced to believe there ain't any sick folks 'cept them that thinks they air sick.
Now, there wuz a young chap over in Loontown who had tried doctorin' for a year or two and didn't make much by it, and he thought he see a sign up in the heavens, G. P., and he gin out that he had had a call "go preach," and went to preachin', and he didn't make so well by that as he did by his doctorin', and then he gin out that he had made a mistake in readin' the letters; instead of goin' to preach they meant "give pills," so he went back to his doctorin' agin, and is doin' first rate.
