Mrs. Fairfax glanced archly at him, and said, "Nonsense! but, indeed, the trip was absolutely necessary for me. I should hardly have been alive had I remained at work; and poor Willie McQuinch was bent on having me." "He has been described to me as an inveterate lion hunter."
But the gods took care of Willie, and he was better before the doctor could arrive; and Aggie got all the credit of his cure. Aggie couldn't believe it.
