"Then Drummond got mumps, and I wrote to him asking if I might represent the house instead of him, and I suppose he didn't believe I was any good. At any rate, he wouldn't let me go in. Then Joe a man who knows something about boxing suggested I should go down to Aldershot." "Joe?" said Mr Spence inquiringly. Sheen had let the name slip out unintentionally, but it was too late now to recall it.
The wind had been with the racers thus far, but as one after another of the skaters turned the mark they found the wind now full in their faces, and it was blowing freshly. "Mumps will win beyond a doubt!" was the cry, as the lad from the Hudson River forged still further ahead. "My skate is loose!" cried Larry, and second later the skate came off and flew fifty feet away.
If a man had a sick cow, she was elf-shot; if his child became consumptive, it had been overlooked, or received a blast from the fairies; if the whooping-cough was rife, all the afflicted children were put three times under an ass; or when they happened to have the "mumps," were led, before sunrise to a south-running stream, with a halter hanging about their necks, under an obligation of silence during the ceremony In short, there could not possibly be a more superstitious spot than that which these men of mystery had selected for their residence.
"She has a taking disease," answered Otoyo. "Like this." And she puffed out both jaws to the roundness of the full moon. Molly stifled a laugh. "Mumps, do you mean?" Otoyo nodded. "It was so called to me by the honorable nurse," she added gravely. The two girls lingered a moment in the hall.
The diseases of society are various, and of various origin, and there is no one drug in the pharmacopoeia of social reform which will cure or even touch them all, just as there is no one drug in the pharmacopoeia of doctors which will cure appendicitis, mumps, sea-sickness, and pneumonia indifferently which will stop a hollow tooth and allay the pains of childbirth.
She would show these youngsters what a personage she was. "I've been sick an awful lot," she said proudly. "There's not many kids could have come through what I have. I've had scarlet fever and measles and ersipelas and mumps and whooping cough and pewmonia." "Were you ever fatally sick?" asked Una. "I don't know," said Mary doubtfully. "Of course she wasn't," scoffed Jerry.
"Nothing very much. You've heard me speak of John Lexman?" She bent her head. "Lexman's the writer of a great many mystery stories, but you've probably read his books." She nodded again, and again T. X. noticed the suppressed eagerness in her eyes. "You're not ill or sickening for anything, are you?" he asked anxiously; "measles, or mumps or something?"
Dan Baxter's manner was so terrible that Dora sank back on a camp stool nearly overcome. Then, seeing some men at a distance, on the shore, she set up a scream for help. "Here, none of that!" ejaculated Mumps, and clapped his hand over her mouth. "Let me go!" she screamed. "Help! Help!" "We'll put her in the cabin," ordered Dan Baxter, and also caught hold of Dora.
The Ripton match, fortunately, was off, owing to an outbreak of mumps at that shrine of learning and athletics the second outbreak of the malady in two terms.
"Oh, but ain't I tired of this crowd! If ever I get out of this, you can wager I'll turn over a new leaf and cut Dan Baxter dead." "Hullo! Mumps isn't keeping this flag of truce very good," remarked Sam, as the seashell dropped at his feet. "There is something inside of the shell," said Tom. "A bit of paper. Perhaps it's a message?"
