Engelman resumed, "Doctor Dormann asked his questions, and smelt and tasted the medicine, and with Madame Fontaine's full approval took away a little of it to be analyzed. That came to nothing! The medicine kept its own secret. All the ingredients but two set analysis at defiance! In the meantime we gave the first dose. Half an hour since we tried the second.
When, late that night, I entered my bedroom again, how I blessed the lucky accident of my six hours' sleep, after a night's watching at Mr. Keller's bedside! If I had spoken to Doctor Dormann as I had positively resolved to speak, he would, beyond all doubt, have forbidden the employment of Madame Fontaine's remedy; Mr.
"I beg your pardon, sir," he ventured to say, "you're not a member of the city council, are you?" "I have nothing to do with the city council." "And nothing to do with managing the Deadhouse?" "Nothing. I am Doctor Dormann." Schwartz snapped his clumsy fingers, as an appropriate expression of relief. "All right, sir! Leave the little man with me I'll take care of him."
When he returned to his chair, he scrupulously avoided even the appearance of asking Doctor Dormann for advice. "My course is plain," he said quietly.

Doctor Dormann might not have noticed this circumstance, or might not have cared to conceal what was passing in his mind. In either case, when he spoke at last, he expressed himself in these extraordinary terms: "The second suspicious illness in this house! And the second incomprehensible end to it!" Mr. Keller at once stepped forward, and showed himself.
He laid a strong emphasis on the first part of his reply. The nurse having received her instructions, Mr. Keller led the way to his private room. "In my responsible position," he said, "I may not unreasonably expect that you will explain yourself without reserve." "On such a serious matter as this," Doctor Dormann answered, "it is my duty to speak without reserve.
"Quite right, little man, how should you know who she is? My sister's the nurse. She's hired by Doctor Dormann, and she'll be here in an hour's time. I say! that's a pretty bottle you're hiding there under your coat. Is there any wine in it?" Jack began to tremble. He had been discovered by a stranger. Even the river might not be deep enough to keep his secret now!
