I ain't heard a sound." Amanda set the glass on the table.

"Don't you think you'd ought to have a doctor, Mis' Field ?" said she.
It seemed impossible that Lois could have heard, but her voice came shrilly from the other room: "No, I ain't going to have a doctor; there's no need of it.

I sha'n't like it if you get one, mother." "No, you sha'n't have one, dear child," her mother called back.

"She was always jest so about havin' a doctor," she whispered to Amanda.
"I'll take in the beer if she's awake," said Amanda.
Lois looked up when she entered.

"I don't want a doctor," said she, pitifully, rolling her blue eyes.
"Of course you sha'n't have a doctor if you don't want one," returned Amanda, soothingly.
