Short treats her for liver, Sir William goes in for lung disease or heart, Chalmers sis it's the nairves, and Kinyon the mookis membrin; and I say they are fools and lyres all four." "Julia!" ejaculated Mrs. Dodd, "this is very extraordinary." "No, it is not extraordinary," cried Dr. Sampson defiantly; "nothing is extraordinary.
"I heard a screech you can call it what you like," said Miss Blake, feeling an utter contempt for English phraseology. "I stand corrected; thank you, Miss Blake. You heard a screech, in short, and you hurried across the hall, and found Miss Elmsdale in a fainting condition, on the floor of the library. Was that so?"

"Helena is but middling, poor dear," answered Miss Blake on that occasion she called her niece Hallana. "She frets, the creature, as is natural; but she will get better when we leave England. England is a hard country for anyone who is all nairves like Halana." "Why do you never bring her to see me?" asked Mr. Craven, folding up the cheque.
