The best of care would be required to restore her to health, and Katy was very anxious.

Her mother was still suffering the most acute pain.
The doctor had left a prescription, and Katy was again obliged to call in Mrs.Howard while she went to the apothecary's to procure it; but the good woman declared she was glad to come, and would bring her work and stay all the forenoon.

The medicine, when obtained, to some extent relieved the sufferer's pain.
As her presence was not required in the chamber, Katy went down-stairs to what she called the candy room.

She had an hour or two to spare, and she put on the kettle with the intention of making a part of the next day's candy.

She was nearly worn out by watching and anxiety, and not fit to perform such hard work; but weak and weary as she felt, her spirit was still earnest, and she resolutely commenced her labors.
At noon she had made half the quantity required.
