A quiet day, sleep, cheerful company, such as you can furnish here, will fix him up." "Doctor, we will secure the quiet day if you will furnish the cheerful company," said Mandy, beaming on him.
"I have a very busy day before me, and as for cheerful company, with you two ladies he will have all the company that is good for him." "CHEERFUL company, you said, Doctor.

If you desert us how can we be cheerful ?" "Exactly for that reason," replied the doctor.
"Say, Martin," interposed Cameron, "take them out for a drive this afternoon and leave me in peace." "A drive!" cried Mandy, "with one hundred and fifty miles behind me and another hundred and fifty miles before me!" "A ride then," said Cameron.

"Moira, you used to be fond of riding." "And am still," cried the girl, with sparkling eyes.
"A ride!" cried Mandy.

"Great! This is the country for riding.

But have you a habit ?" "My habit is in one of my boxes," replied Moira.
"I can get a habit," said the doctor, "and two of them." "That's settled, then," cried Mandy.
