Bennett took off his cap. "Very well, then. That is enough. Good-bye, Miss Searight." "Do you believe I told Mr. Ferriss I loved you?" "I do not believe that the man who has been more to me than a brother is a liar and a rascal." "Good-morning, Mr. Bennett." They had come rather near to the farmhouse by this time.
Searight, the local historian of the road, describes these large, broad-wheeled wagons covered with white canvas as The music made by this large number of hogs eating corn on a frosty night I shall never forget.
A little later, and while she was still at the window, Rownie brought her a note from Bennett, sent by special messenger. "Ferriss woke up sick this morning. Nobody here but the two of us; can't leave him alone. "Oh!" exclaimed Lloyd Searight a little blankly. The robin and his effrontery at once ceased to be amusing.
Believe me," she went on with sudden energy, "you will kill my love for you if you persist." But before Bennett could answer there was a cry. "It is the servant," exclaimed Lloyd quickly. "She has been watching there in the room with him." "Nurse Miss Searight," came the cry, "quick there is something wrong I don't know oh, hurry!" "Do you hear?" cried Lloyd. "It is the crisis he may be dying.
Most of the doctors of the City knew Lloyd for the best trained nurse in the hospitals. "Oh, it's you, Miss Searight; good enough!" The surgeon introduced her to the little patient's father, adding: "If any one can pull us through, Campbell, it will be Miss Searight." The surgeon and nurse began to discuss the case. "I think you know it already, don't you, Miss Searight?" said the surgeon.
She waved her hand gayly, and Ferriss responded with the stump of one forearm. On the next day but one, a Friday, Lloyd was to go to the country. Every year in the heat of the summer Lloyd spent her short vacation in the sleepy and old-fashioned little village of Bannister. The country around the village was part of the Searight estate.
"One of our people, a young woman named Miss Wakeley, has been on this case," she continued, "but it seems she has allowed herself to contract the disease herself. She went to the hospital this noon." Campbell, his gravity suddenly broken up, exclaimed: "Surely, Miss Searight, this is not the same case I read of in yesterday's paper it must be, too Medford was the name of the place.
"Say, Miss Searight," she called, her forearm across her forehead to shade her eyes, the hand still holding the fish's head, "say, while you're out this morning will you keep an eye out for that dog of our'n you know, Dan the one with liver'n white spots? He's run off again ain't seen him since yesterday noon. He gets away an' goes off fighting other dogs over the whole blessed county.
