Verner’s Pride

CHAPTER XXIII
14/23

West can come and see you as usual, and charge you, if you please; and you can just pour his physic down the sink.

I'll send you some bark: but it's not of much consequence whether you take it or not; it's good kitchen physic you want now.

Is there anything on your mind that's keeping you back ?" added plain Jan.
A streak of scarlet rose to Lionel's white cheek.
"Anything on my mind, Jan! I do not understand you." "Look here," said Jan, "if there is nothing, you ought to be better than this by now, in spite of old West.

What you have got to do is to rouse yourself, and believe you are well, instead of lying by, here.

My mother was angry with me for telling her that, but didn't she get well all one way after it?
And look at the poor! They have their illnesses that bring 'em down to skeletons; but when did you ever find them lie by, after they got better?
They can't; they are obliged to go out and turn to at work again; and the consequence is they are well in no time.
