One day matters approached a crisis.
Bessie, my maid, had just informed me
that she had seen the doctor call twice
at No. 10 on the previous day, and re-
main a long time on each occasion.
That girl was seriously ill-dying, per-
haps. I could keep away no longer, and
I jumped up quickly from my seat with
the intention of running at once for my
hat and cloak. At that moment the
clatter of heavy wheels over the cobble-
stones directed my attention to the
street. What I saw there kept me
rooted to the spot. A great yellow
coach with large, heraldic emblazon-
ments, driven by white-wigged coach
man, had drawn up in front of No. 10.
The powdered man holding on behind
jumped down and gave a knock that
brought the rest of the Row to it's par
lor windows in time to see the most
obvious dowager duchess disappear
through the doorway. What could it
mean? Had some dame of high estate
heard of their sufferings, and called to
play the part of Lady Bountiful? Then
1 remembered that from Bessie's attic
could be obtained a capital view of the
new tenants, first floor front, and
caught suddenly by frenzy of curios-
ity, binding me to all sense of decency,
1 scampered up the stairs and arrived
at the attic window at the moment
when the strange visitor was crossing
the threshold of the room where +
guessed the invalid lay. From where
stood I saw the poor little white figure
spring up on her couch, eyes wide, pale
lips parted as though she beheld a
vision; then fall back on the instant
among her pillows, hiding her face in
her hands. Another moment, and the
visitor was by the bedside, bending
