Yes.
[Nurses his hand, and
Mary Speaker examines it, while
Cousin Fanny pulls cork from phial with teeth, and
John Thinker says:]
John Thinker
The old viper has teeth yet!
Mary Thinker
She is a cat... she is a she-devil... she is a witch... she has a bad heart....
John Speaker
[To
Mary Speaker, pointing to
Cousin Fanny, who is shaking tablet out of bottle; she drops one and gropes for it, and shakes another more carefully, with air of childish triumph.]
Mary, what can I do? She will have it! And if I struggle with her it will kill her! She is too weak to struggle! It will kill her to struggle! And if I let her take the tablet it may do her harm!
Mary Speaker
