Eve cried piteously, "that's the one thing I can't do!" Dr. Veiga laughed. "Afraid of the expense, I suppose?" "No," Eve answered with seriousness.
He's a perfect dear." "Oh! I know the sort!" Mr. Prohack said sarcastically. "And you'll see the fee he'll charge!" "When it's a question of health money doesn't matter."
