"But, child, he must have the doctor," said her aunt. "Yes, but I will manage him. What a good thing old Mr. Bird is gone! He was such a gossip! We must call in the new doctor, Mr. Faber. I shall see that he understands. He has his practice to make, and will mind what I say." "Why, child, you are as cunning as an old witch!" said her aunt. "It is very awkward," she went on.
