"Do you know what catnip is when you see it growing?" she asked as Jack entered the room.
"I don't; but if you'll tell me where to go, I'll hunt for it."
"Light the lantern, so there won't be any mistake, and run out to the lane. You'll find some growing along the fence. Get as much as will fill this kettle, and come back as soon as you can."
"Is he very bad?" Jack asked in a trembling voice as he gazed at the baby's flushed cheeks.
"I never have had much experience with children, but I guess a little catnip tea will bring him around all right by morning."
"Hadn't we better have a doctor?"
"There is no need yet, and, besides, there isn't one within six miles."
"It don't make any difference how far it is, I'm willin' to walk any distance for him."
"We will first see what the morning brings forth."
Jack delayed no longer.
