But the doctress made them both swear never to tell a soul her guilty deed. "They would put me in prison, away from my child." The simple that saved Jorian was called sweet feverfew. She gathered it in his own garden. Her eagle eye had seen it growing out of the window. Margaret and Joan, then, reached the hermit's cave, and placed their present on the little platform.
An old doctress from the Manyeti tribe had come to see what she could do for him, and on her skill he now hung his last hopes. She allowed no one to see him, except his mother and uncle, making entire seclusion from society an essential condition of the much longed-for cure. He sent, notwithstanding, for the Doctor; and on the following day we all three were permitted to see him.
Then, "The conversation has got back into the old quarter," she said. "You are talking about me again. Have you heard from your friends since they went away?" "What friends?" "Those you were camping with." "No." "What did they say when they heard that you had found a young doctress at Jocelyn's? How did you break the fact to them? What jokes did they make?
By this time Doctress Gale had satisfied herself that a little excitement was downright good for her patient, and led to refreshing sleep. So they dressed her loosely but very warmly, and rolled her to the window on her invalid couch, set at a high angle. It was a fine clear day in October, keen but genial; and after muffling her well, they opened the window.
Had his object been to hinder his companion's mind from dwelling too long on one thing, he could not have rattled the dice of small talk more industriously. His words would fill pages; his topics were, that Miss Gale was an extraordinary woman, but too masculine for his taste, and had made her own troubles setting up doctress, when her true line was governess for boys.
It is the way of the world: but when an accurate person comes to describe a business, and deal with the character of a whole university, she is not to call the larger half the whole, and make the matter worse than it was. That is not scientific. Science discriminates." I am not sorry the doctress offered this little explanation; it accords with her sober mind and her veneration of truth.
The doctress wrote her address with a resigned air, as one who had found somebody she had to obey; and, as soon as he had got it, Vizard gave her a sort of nervous shake of the hand, and seemed almost in a hurry to get away from her. But this was his way. She would have been amazed if she had seen his change of manner the moment he got among his own people.
"Catch me the boy," said Miss Gale, severely. Habitual culpability destroys self-confidence; so the boy suspected himself of crime, and instantly took to flight. His companions loved hunting; so three swifter boys followed him with a cheerful yell, secured him, and brought him up for sentence. "Don't be frightened, Jacob," said the doctress. "I only want to know whether you feel better or worse."
"I'll prescribe accordingly," said Miss Gale, and wrote in pencil an order on a beefsteak pie they had sent her from the Court. The boy's companions put their heads together over this order, and offered their services to escort him. "No, thank you," said the doctress. "He will go alone, you young monkeys. Your turn will come." Then she proceeded on her rounds, with Mr.
Finally these peculiar customs brought about the punishment of a noted doctress of the Rogue River tribe, a woman who was constantly working in this professional way, and who had found a victim of such prominence among the Rogue Rivers that his unlooked for death brought down on her the wrath of all.
