And Mrs. Darcy worked herself into
violent Mysteries. II
But all the rest of the day and all
through the night Mrs. Darcy heard
the words ringing in her ears, saw the I
words dancing before her eyes: do
something for somebody"
She almost wondered II there was
anything in this advice, In this
strange advice, this peculiar pre-
scription."
But then her old doctors came with
their Old remedies. DIR. Blank with his
pills and DIR. Green with his powders.
and she soon forgot the new doctor
with HIS new notions and his inperti-
nence and his insults.
DO something for somebody"
The ideal When she was too sick
even TO do anything for herself!
A Cold Proposition.
