Nonsense!
Martha.
If you're so wise, why do you think Michaelis petered out?
Beeler.
Couldn't stand the strain. Bit off more'n he could chaw, in the healin' line.—Never looked at Rhody.
Martha.
Looked at her till he couldn't see nothin' else, in heaven or earth or the other place.
Beeler.
You're dead wrong. I tell you he never looked cross-eyed at Rhody, nor Rhody at him. Doctor's more in her line.—By the way, did you give the Doctor a snack to stay his stomach?
Martha.
