"Titherington hinted," I said, "that he did it in the hope of influencing McMeekin's vote. Fees, you know." "That's worse." "A great deal worse." "Funk," said Lalage, "which is what I did suspect him of, is comparatively honest, but a stratagem of the kind you suggest, is as bad as felony. I shall certainly have at him for that." "Titherington will be tremendously pleased if you do."
In the second place it's ridiculous to say that because one has to do a thing sometime one may as well do it at once. You have to be buried sometime, but you wouldn't like it if McMeekin told you that you might just as well be buried to-day." I hold that this was a perfectly sound argument which knocked the bottom out of McMeekin's absurd statement, but it did not convince the nurse.
He may not be able to do me any good, but he'll give orders that I'm to be left quiet and that's all I want." "McMeekin's no damned use as a doctor; but he'll " "Then get some one else. Surely he's not the only one there is." "There are two others, but they're both sure to support you in any case, whereas McMeekin " The way Titherington was discussing my illness annoyed me.
This is another proof that McMeekin ought to be in an asylum for idiots. Barley water would depress me and make me miserable even if I were in perfect health. As a set-off against Titherington's thoughtlessness and McMeekin's imbecility, I noticed that during the day the nurse became gradually less obnoxious.
This made me the more determined to stay where I was, and so McMeekin's illness was a very serious blow to me. I satisfied myself by inquiry that he was not likely to get well immediately and then I sent for another doctor. This man turned out to be one of my original supporters and I think his feelings must have been hurt by my calling in McMeekin.
She hinted at first, and then roundly asserted that I was perfectly well. Nothing but McMeekin's determined diagnosis of obscure affections of my heart, lungs, and viscera kept her to her duties. She made more than one attempt to take me out for a drive.
