Bella and June Bowman had left the house almost directly after him, and Markley, finding it empty, with no response to his repeated knocking, had turned away, being as usual both impatient and hurried. Yes, Bella had gone and left Flavilla without even a glass of water. But Bella didn't matter. He couldn't understand this except where he saw at last that she never had mattered; yet it was so.
I remember the beeches and oaks and maples were spread out like banners to the very height of the island, all crimson and yellow splashes in the midst of evergreens. There had been an awful storm the night before, and you could see down the sally-port how drenched the fort garden was at the foot of the hill. Captain Markley had a fearfully depressed look.

You had better call Markley to-day. And until he comes don't give her any solids. You can see she's in a fever." "Can't you tend her? I'd put more on you than any fresh young hospital stiff."
