The Golden Scarecrow

CHAPTER VIII
37/43

Mary was a stupid, silly little girl, and Sarah despised and scorned her, but, somehow, that was not enough; from all of this, it simply remained that Sarah would like now to forget her, and could not.

She's not slept for two nights--in a high fever, and cries and cries.

The Doctor--Dr.Williamson--_really_ clever--says she's unhappy about something.
