The porter from the next car came in and whispered to him. The conductor rose unhappily. "Next car's caught the disease," he grumbled. "Doctor, a woman back there has got mumps or bubonic plague, or something. Will you come back?" The strange porter stood aside.

"How ridiculous if it had been the mumps, or if the newspapers had said, 'On account of the whooping-cough, Mr. Brewster did not attend his ball."

Then she turned again to the story of her wrongs. "And of all the pest holes I ever seen, this is the plum worst. There's chills an' fever an' typhoid till you can't rest, an' them kids is abustin' with measles an' mumps an' scarlet fever. That I ain't got 'em all myself's a miracle."
He loves his parent, and when that imp of a Rover got Mr. Baxter into trouble Daniel was very much exercised over it." "Gracious, but that's rich," murmured Dick. "I got him into trouble.
