Kerrich took the phial, and departed. But the remedy was of little avail. Before daybreak, he was seized with the distemper, and died two days afterwards. "I hope poor Kerrich hasn't got the plague?" said the old woman, in a tremulous tone. "I am afraid he has," replied the daughter-in-law, "but I didn't like to alarm him." "Mercy on us!" cried the other, getting up.
Kerrich, started this industry about the year 1899; he collected the roots, which were sawn into blocks and then sent to France and America to be made into pipes. This Calabrian briar was considered superior to the French kind, and Mr. Kerrich had large sales on both sides of the Atlantic; his chief difficulty was want of labour owing to emigration.
Two others were read from John Kerrich, Esq., of Harleston, and from Joshua Grigby, Esq., of Drinkston, each tendering their services, one for the county Of Norfolk, and the other for the county of Suffolk.
"I suppose I shan't be wanted any more," observed Kerrich, "now you're come back to nurse your husband, Mrs. Malmayns? I shall be glad to get home to my own bed, for I don't feel well at all."

I have been for a fortnight to Geldeston where Kerrich is not very well. I shall look for you one day in my Yarmouth rounds, and you know how entirely disengaged and glad to see you I am here. I have two fresh Nieces with me and I find I gave you the WORST wine of two samples Diver sent me. I wish you would send word by bearer you are better this one word written will be enough you see.
His mother and the young man were still in attendance, and the former, on seeing her daughter-in-law, exclaimed, in low but angry accents "What brings you here, Judith? I suppose you expected to find my son dead. But he will disappoint you. Doctor Hodges said he would recover did he not Kerrich?" she added, appealing to the young man, who nodded acquiescence.
