"Then I will write this very day," said Miss Frost; and Rosamund took care that she kept her word. In consequence, just as the holidays at the Merrimans' began, on the very day that Mrs. Merriman walked all the way to The Follies in order to see Rosamund, the little Frosts also made their appearance on the scene. Mrs. Merriman came an hour before the children.
Merriman related an instance occurring in his own practice, which excites a reasonable suspicion that two lives were sacrificed to a still less dangerous experiment. He was at the examination of a case of puerperal fever at two o'clock in the afternoon. He took care not to touch the body.
Early next morning Desmond, accompanied by Surendra Nath, went to find Coja Solomon. He lived in a house not far from the Armenian church, between it and the river. The Armenian was at home. He received Desmond with great politeness, assuring him with much volubility that he had but one interest in life, and that was the business of his honorable employer, Mr. Merriman.
"Then you think, doctor ...?" began Miss Merriman. "My diagnosis coincides with Smiles', a tumorous growth on the brain, probably upon the third left frontal convolution ... right here," he said in explanation, as he touched his forehead between the left eyebrow and the hair. "Rose, you have done excellently. Now we, too, will do what we can, and we shall need your help in full measure to-night.
There can be no further doubt about it, there's something. What it may be I don't know, but there is something." "There's nothing wrong at all events," Merriman asserted doggedly. "Not wrong in the sense you mean, no," Hilliard agreed quickly, "but wrong for all that. Now that I have met Miss Coburn I can see that your estimate of her was correct.
So intrigued was Merriman by the whole business that he determined to repeat his visit the following night also. He did so, and once again witnessed Mr. Coburn's stealthy walk to the shed at two a.m., and his equally stealthy return at two-fifteen. Rack his brains as he would over the problem of these nocturnal visits, Merriman could think of no explanation.
Coburn spoke simply and with a certain dignity, and Merriman found himself disposed not only to believe what he had heard, but even to understand and sympathize with the man in the embarrassing circumstances in which he found himself.
Merriman had been specially sent for by his client, there would have been nothing very wonderful in his leaving town to obey the summons.
You get almost to feel as though they belonged to you, and I haven't anybody belonging to me." All this was said in a tone of soliloquy, without a trace of self-consciousness. Miss Kathleen Merriman seemed to find it quite natural that she should stand alone and unprotected in the world. But somehow it conflicted with all Sir Bryan's articles of faith.
You remember one day the Merrimac came down the James, very slowly, and sunk the Cumberland, and damaged and frightened the Union fleet into fits, just the way Merriman has been going down to Wall Street every morning and frightening us into fits?
