Upstairs in a room from which a lath-and-plaster partition had been removed, and which had been adapted, warmed and ventilated by various contrivances to which Robert and Meyrick had devoted their practical minds, were the 'four anxious cases. One of them, a little creature of six, one of Sharland's black-eyed children, was sitting up, supported by the nurse, and coughing, its little life away.
He was striding along, his wideawake over his eyes, and so absorbed that she had almost touched him before he saw her. 'Darling, is that you? Don't stop me, I am going to take the pony-carriage in for Meyrick. I have just come back from that accursed place; three cases of diphtheria in one house, Sharland's wife and two others down with fever. She made a horrified exclamation.

They had two hospital nurses; one of the better cottages, turned into a sanatorium, accommodated the worst cases under the nurses, and Robert and Catherine, directed by them and the doctors, took the responsibility of the rest, he helping to nurse the boys and she the girls. Of the fever cases Sharland's wife was the worst.
