Uncle Titus and His Visit to the Country

CHAPTER II
18/23

The utmost prudence must be exercised in the selection of the situation, and of the house also.

This was her present business, and when everything was settled she would inform the doctor of her arrangements.
"Very well, only don't be long about it; be off as soon as you can, the quicker the better," said the physician warningly, and he was making a hasty retreat, when he almost fell over little Dora who had stolen so quietly into the room that he had not seen her.
"There, there, I hope I did not hurt you," he said, tapping the frightened child upon the shoulder.

"It will do this thin little creature a world of good too, this trip to Switzerland," he continued.

"She must drink plenty of milk,--lots of milk." "We have decided to leave Dora behind," remarked Aunt Ninette drily.
"As you please; it is your affair, Mrs.Ehrenreich; but you must let me observe that if you do not look out, you will have another case on your hands, as bad as your husband's, if not worse.

Good-morning madam," and he vanished.
"Doctor, doctor! what do you mean?
What did you say ?" cried Aunt Ninette in her most plaintive tone, running down the stairs to overtake him.
"I mean that the little person up there has quite too little good blood in her veins, and that she cannot last long, unless she gets more and better nourishment." "For heaven's sake! What unfortunate people we are!" cried Mrs.
Ehrenreich, wringing her hands in distress, as she came back into her husband's room.
