CHAPTER VII.
"KATA PHUSIN" (1837-1838) Devoted as she was to her husband, Mrs.Ruskin felt bound to watch over her son at Oxford.

It was his health she was always anxious about; doctoring was her forte.

He had suffered from pleurisy; caught cold easily; was feared to be weak in the lungs; and nobody but his mother understood him.

So taking Mary Richardson, she went up with him (January, 1837), and settled in lodgings at Adams' in the High.

Her plan was to make no intrusion on his college life, but to require him to report himself every day to her.
