Norton's supervision, she packed the baby in hot water bottles while Lizzie heated water and stoked the fires till the stove doors glowed red. Amos came back with the doctor about nine o'clock. Patience was in a stupor. The doctor sent Lydia away while he made his examination. The child clenched her fists and walked up and down the livingroom, cheeks scarlet, eyes blazing.
Her shattered nerves couldn't stand this, to her mind, foolishness at the moment. She went from the dining-room into the livingroom, and stood, gazing out of the window, but seeing nothing. Dr. Harper pushed back his chair from the table. "Just a word more about that, Miss Ames," he said. "I'm rather interested in those matters myself. You thought you saw Mr. Embury?" "I did see him.
