“Well, well, this matter must be attended to at once,” contended Dr. Greydon, “and if you can remain a while, I will go and try to procure the necessary person and bring him here at once.”
“That is good, Doctor,” replied Dr. Biddle. “I can continue the bathing, and I can relieve the congestion by bleeding.”
Just as Dr. Greydon reached the street, and was about to enter his carriage, he heard a voice calling:
“Doctor! Oh Doctor!”
The Doctor turned and there was Segwuna.
“What is it, Segwuna?” asked Dr. Greydon.
“I have come to help nurse Mr. Barclugh.”
“Are you not afraid, my child?”
“Segwuna is not afraid to do her duty, Doctor.”
“You are right, Segwuna,” replied Dr. Greydon. “Then we will go in.”
