Perrin had a dreadful idea, that he had to hide from you because otherwise he could not bear to continue in your house " "Why, Douglas! What do you mean?" "I mean that a few days before your confinement, he was called away to the case of a negro-woman you knew that, did you not?" "Go on."
An old negro-woman went in and out of the little back-door of the tent, pursued by flies and gnats, while she cleared away a variety of earthen dishes with the remains of food pomegranate-peelings, breadcrumbs, and garlic-tops which had been lying on one of the carpets for some hours since the girls had finished their dinner.

And since this calamity has befallen us, I have realized that I was possibly not as careful in sterilizing my instruments as I might have been.
