"I am consulted on all kinds of matters; in fact, I pass for a real doctor out on the trail. I carry a little medicine-case for emergencies, and I assume all the authority of the regular practitioner on occasion. I shall be very sorry if my distaste for the title 'professor' leads you to think me unsympathetic. I shall be very glad to assist you in any way." "Thank you.
Ten chances to one he is armed, and you haven't a thing to defend yourself with, except that medicine-case." "I have my fists," replied James indignantly. "Fists don't count much against a revolver." "Well, I am going to try," said James with emphasis. "Good-by, then. You are treating me shamefully, though." James stared at her in amazement.
"It's a confinement case," said I. I had been thinking of the proper word all the way. "And she alone!" exclaimed Mrs. Bliven. "Hurry, Doctor! I'll get your instruments and medicine-case, and you can hitch up. You stay here, Jake. I want to speak to you." She ran up-stairs, and down again in a few seconds, with the cases, and wearing her bonnet and cloak.
"Bring that suit-case in," she commanded Denver, in the gentlest voice he had ever heard, after she had made a hasty inspection of the first wounded man. From the suit-case she took a little leather medicine-case, the kind that can be bought already prepared for use. It held among other things a roll of medicated cotton, some antiseptic tablets, and a little steel instrument for probing.
The horse came lightly along, beating out a pleasant tune of easy haste. He was drawn up at the gate, and the doctor threw out his weight, and jumped buoyantly to the ground. There was the brief pause of reaching for his medicine-case, and then, with that firm step whose rhythm she knew so well, he was walking up the path.
Fishing tackle, tents, pocket-flashes, puttees, ponchos, chocolate, quirts, slickers, matches, medicine-case, sweaters, cooking utensils, blankets. It grew longer, and longer. Their heads came close together over it. And they trailed from department to department, laughing and talking together.
He seemed, to the young man, to have little burrows like some desperate animal, into which he could dive, and be completely away from his enemies, and even from himself, when he chose. He hurriedly drank the remainder of his coffee, and was in his office getting his medicine-case ready. James lingered, in the hopes of getting a word and a kiss from Clemency.
Right through the great gate of the Chateau rumbled a large motor truck with an American flag fluttering from the radiator! It was driven by a strange young woman in a smart gray uniform. Beside her on the driver's seat sat an older woman dressed the same way and carrying in her hand a black medicine-case.
I went to the medicine-case which stood beneath the head of the bed, with the view to getting out the vial; but my wife started up eagerly as I approached, and with trembling accents, demanded what was the matter. She saw me covered with mud and soaking with water. I told her that I had got wet coming homeward and had slipped down the hill.
"Can you do it, Doctor?" The medical man made a hasty examination of the unconscious midshipman before he answered briefly: "Yes." "Will it be a long job, Doctor?" "Fifteen minutes, probably." "Oh, good, if you can do it in that time!" "Me go now?" asked Chow, with sullen curiosity, as the medical man opened his medicine-case. "Yes; if you don't try to leave the joint," agreed Dave.
