He tried to say a word; but she was sullen, or, if not, she put on some mood like to sullenness, and said never a word to him. On the day after the departure of Phineas Finn for Loughton Lady Laura Kennedy still had a headache. She had complained of a headache ever since she had been at Loughlinter, and Dr. Macnuthrie had been over more than once.
Macnuthrie, and at last succeeded in inducing him to quit the room. This had occurred about the end of November, and on the 20th of December Violet Effingham reached Loughlinter. Life in Mr. Kennedy's house had gone quietly during the intervening three weeks, but not very pleasantly. The name of Phineas Finn had not been mentioned.
Macnuthrie at all." "Where there is illness, medical advice is always expedient." "I am not ill. A headache is not illness." "I had thought it was," said Mr. Kennedy, very drily. "At any rate, I would rather not have Dr. Macnuthrie." "I am sure it cannot do you any good to climb up here in the heat of the sun. Had you been here long, Finn?" "All the morning; here, or hereabouts.
"I am glad that your headache is better," he said to his wife, who had risen from her seat to meet him. Phineas also had risen, and was now looking somewhat sheepish where he stood. "I came out because it was worse," she said. "It irritated me so that I could not stand the house any longer." "I will send to Callender for Dr. Macnuthrie." "Pray do nothing of the kind, Robert. I do not want Dr.
Oh dear, oh dear! what am I to do?" Then she threw herself down upon the sofa, and put both her hands up to her temples. "I will send for Dr. Macnuthrie at once," said Mr. Kennedy, walking towards the door very slowly, and speaking as slowly as he walked. "No; do no such thing," she said, springing to her feet again and intercepting him before he reached the door. "If he comes I will not see him.
"I certainly shall quarrel if such insinuations are repeated." "I made no insinuation." "Do not repeat them. That is all." He was cowed and left her, having first attempted to get out of the difficulty of his position by making much of her alleged illness, and by offering to send for Dr. Macnuthrie. She positively refused to see Dr.
If any one ever were missing whom I wanted to find, this is where I should look." "I am going on towards Linter forest to meet Blane," said Mr. Kennedy. Blane was the gamekeeper. "If you don't mind the trouble, Finn, I wish you'd take Lady Laura down to the house. Do not let her stay out in the heat. I will take care that somebody goes over to Callender for Dr. Macnuthrie." Then Mr.
That is quite reason enough why you should not send for him to me." "You are unreasonable, Laura. One chooses a doctor on account of his reputation in his profession, and that of Dr. Macnuthrie stands high." "I do not want any doctor." "But if you are ill, my dear " "I am not ill." "But you said you had a headache. You have said so for the last ten days." "Having a headache is not being ill.
Macnuthrie is a learned man, but I doubt whether he can do anything for such a malady." "You are quite right, Robert; he can do nothing." "It is a malady you must cure for yourself, Laura; and which is to be cured by perseverance. If you can bring yourself to try " "But I cannot bring myself to try at all," she said.
"Nothing serious. One can't always help having a headache, you know." "I don't think you take enough exercise, Laura. I would propose that you should walk four miles every day after breakfast. I will always be ready to accompany you. I have spoken to Dr. Macnuthrie " "I hate Dr. Macnuthrie." "Why should you hate Dr. Macnuthrie, Laura?" "How can I tell why? I do.
