Avery
About this book
"Oh, Pink! Mother can't lift you.... I would if I could.... Yes, I know I used to- "Molly, take the baby. Couldn't you amuse him, somehow? Perhaps, if you tried hard, you could keep him still. When he screams so, it seems to hit me-here. It makes it harder to breathe. He cried 'most all night. And if you could contrive to keep Pink, too- "What is it, Kate? You'll have to manage without me this morning. Pick up anything for luncheon-I don't care. I couldn't eat. You can warm over that mutton for yourselves. We must keep the bills down. They were too large last month. Order a grouse for Mr. Avery. He says he will dine at home to-night- "There 's the telephone! Somebody answer it. I can't get down, myself.... Is it Mr. Avery?... Wants me?... I don't see how I can.... Yes. Hold the wire. I 'll try- "Did you speak to me, Molly?... No, I 'm not feeling any worse. It's only getting up the stairs, and... something that tired me a little. I don't want Dr. Thorne. I can't call the doctor so often. I 'm no worse than... I sometimes... am. It's only that I cannot breathe.... Molly! Molly! Quick, Molly! The window! Air!"
